World's cultures celebrated at first UCO Unity Festival

Prankster, campus 'streaker' dons bare essentials

Organizers hope different kind of homecoming celebration will become annual event

by Trisha Evans Vista Senior Staff Writer

The first UCO Unity Fest held Sept. 28 added international flavor to homecoming week by highlighting different food, music and performances from around the world.

More than 240 people gathered on the Hamilton Field House Lawn for what is expected to be an annual event.

"There's nothing in homecoming that is really culture orientated," said Liz Cook, Multicultural Student Affairs coordinator.

Cook said the event was funded by the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and was planned by the Diversity Round Table, a group of students from different multicultural organizations around campus.

Cook said Unity Fest replaced the Black Student Association's homecoming fashion show as a way to encompass all multicultural students.

Phillip Thomas, BSA president and a member of the Diversity Round Table, said the BSA fashion show was cancelled this year without any notification.

Thomas said the fashion show cancellation was probably

a "blessing in disguise."

"As far as cultural enrichment, it does more for that than the fashion show," Thomas said. "Unity Fest is probably one of the best events I've seen at the University of Central Oklahoma."

Thomas said he doesn't know why Unity Fest was not a required event for the different organizations competing for the most homecoming points. He said the fashion show was last year and he hopes Unity Fest will be a required event next year.

The UCO Ebony Gospel Choir performed two songs and Tanischa Williams, Miss Black UCO 2005, danced at the event.

A UCO Ja77 duo featuring students Jeremy Thomas and Aidan Carroll also performed at Unity Fest.

Alumni Tanya Dank performed a traditional Vietnamese song and Tal Ladecky demonstrated Chinese martial arts.

A Mariachi band from Oklahoma City played and was followed by a group of Chinese dancers who performed a traditional lion dance.

OU student dead after bomb attached to him detonates near packed stadium As thousands of spectators watched Oct. 1 game, student described as having "emotional difficulties" sets off explosive, authorities have no motive

by The Associated Press

A University of Oklahoma student with "emotional difficulties" was identified Sunday as the person who was killed when an explosive attached to his body detonated near a packed football stadium, authorities said.

The body is believed to be that of Joel Henry Hinrichs III, 21, Salvador Hernandez,

Special Agent in charge of the FBI in Oklahoma, said in a news release.

"We know that he has had what I would call emotional difficulties in the past. And as I said, this is an individual death.

There is certainly no evidence at this point which points to any other kind of motivation other than his personal problems," OU President David Boren told reporters Sunday afternoon.

Boren declined to say where Hinrichs was from, but a student telephone book lists a permanent address in Colorado Springs, Colo. He said he didn't know whether a suicide note had been found.

Hinrichs' father, Joel Henry Hinrichs Jr., said he was very surprised to hear the news about his son.

"We exchanged e-mails on an irregular basis, several in the last month, and nothing seemed out the ordinary," the father told The Associated Press.

His son was a National Merit Scholar who graduated in May 2002 from Wasson High School in Colorado Springs and began attending OU in the fall of that year with a major in mechanical engineering.

Nationwide voter sign-up initiative registers 78 students at UCO

by Lauren Hyer Vista Staff Writer

Twenty campuses across Oklahoma, including UCO, participated in a competition to sign up the most students to vote as part of the 3rd annual Voter Registration Contest Sept. 28 and 29.

Oklahoma Campus Compact is sponsoring the Vocal Oklahomans in Civic Engagement competition, which is part of a nation wide Raise Your Voice Campaign.

"Getting people registered is the first step," said Jason Hines, journalism sophomore and student coordinator for voter registration. "We made a difference and that is what this is all about.

Every little bit helps."

"My goal is to have students get out and vote," said Meshawn Conley, director of multicultural services and event organizer. "We want to portray that your voice is needed on so

"It was just a matter of business that needed to be taken care of," Weidell said.

Plunkett Park dedicated as part of homecoming celebrations

by Nathan Winfrey Vista Staff Writer

UCO faculty and distinguished alumni gathered Oct. 1 at what used to be Evans Field for the dedication of Plunkett Park, in memory of sisters Emma and Josephine Plunkett.

Made possible by the donation of their $1 million estate, the park will be used as an outdoor classroom for physical education classes, an intramural sports field and a student recreation area.

Dr. Virginia Peters, mistress of ceremonies, professor emeritus and friend of the sisters said the field was a part of their legacy to UCO. "We are so proud, we are so pleased that we could do this," said UCO President Dr. W. Roger Webb.

The Plunkett sisters were originally from Augusta, GA. Emma came to Oklahoma in 1928. In her 38 years at UCO, she was a health and physical education teacher and women's intercollegiate sports coach and administrator. She was also

Stan Case, UCO grad and CNNRadio anchor, speaks to students Sept. 29 in the Communications Building. Case was on campus to be honored as a "Distinguished Former Student."

Free English conversation sessions for international students are offered this semester in Thatcher Hall.

The program, Campus Conversations, is a joint effort between the College of Education and Professional Studies and the Academic Support Center.

"A common response from the international students is they don't feel comfortable speaking in class, that they're not confident in their English speaking abilities," said Dr. Susan

Scott, associate professor of Professional Teacher Education in the College of Education and Professional Studies.

Scott said participation among international students and their response to the program has been positive. "We've been doing a survey of international students who attend. Last semester over 122 attended, and 120 thought it was beneficial. I thought that was a good indicator," she said.

Scott said the idea for the program started in 1999 when she had a student from Korea

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I am writing to correct several errors in Callie Collins's article on vegetarianism.

First she states that vegans are less likely to get enough protein. This is a myth. Most Americans get too much protein. And as long as vegans eat a varied diet, there is absolutely no reason to worry about protein intake. Also, studies show that a high intake of protein causes an increase in calcium excretion in urine, which may be a major cause of osteoporosis.

Ms. Collins mentioned that fruitarians are likely to show deficiencies in vitamins B12 and D. Actually, a large number of members of all diet groups are deficient in these vitamins, be they omnivores, vegetarians, fruitarians, or vegans.

Ms. Collins suggests that vegans add beans, nuts, and

dairy to their diets. But vegans DO eat beans and nuts. And as for dairy, no one should consume it. More and more nutritionists, scientists, and doctors are coming to this conclusion.

Dairy is a completely unnatural food for humans. No spe-

cies drinks milk into adulthood, except us. No species drinks the mammary secretions of another species, except us. Cow's milk is designed for one thing only: To turn a 50-pound calf into a 500-pound cow in about a year.

There is nothing in milk that humans need. Most people in the world cannot even digest it. Even the late Dr. Benjamin Spock, the most famous pediatrician in the world, came out against milk and other animal products and said that, "Children can get plenty of protein and iron from vegetables, beans and other plant foods that avoid the fat and cholesterol that are in animal products." And as for osteoporosis, studies also show that the countries that consume the most dairy have the highest rates of the disease.

Next Ms. Collins mentions protein combining at meals.

This is a myth based on research done on rats in the 1930s.

Modern studies consistently

show that protein combining is completely unnecessary.

Ms. Collins ends by saying that being a devoted vegetarian is unhealthy. On this point I agree. Vegetarians consume dairy and eggs, foods that are packed with cholesterol, saturated fat, hormones, antibiotics, and in the case of milk, pus.

(The United States has one of the highest allowable concentrations of pus in the world. The pus is cooked, so it is probably not harmful. But it's still kind of gross.)

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), which contains such notable doctors and scientists as Neal D. Barnard, M.D.; T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. Cornell University; John McDougall, M.D. McDougall Program, St. Helena Hospital; and alternative health guru Andrew Weil, M.D. University of Arizona, has this to say: "We encourage vegetarian diets as a way of improving general health and preventing diet-related illnesses....

diets, which contain no animal products (meat, dairy, eggs, or other animal products), are even healthier than vegetarian diets....

Scientific research shows that health benefits increase as the amount of food from animal sources in the diet decreases, making vegan diets the healthiest overall."

Most of us, doctors and nutritionists included, believe that meat and milk are necessary for good health. This is not due to sound science. It is due to an enormous lobbying effort put forth by these industries over the last half century. The meat and dairy industries provide a large part of what we (and the people we take nutritional advice from) receive as "nutritional education." This stuff is propaganda, pure and simple.

-Danny Peters English, Graduate Student

Ever since the infamous California "taxpayers' revolt" of the seventies, the nation has been trending toward seeking smaller, smarter government.

Yet, while Oklahomans often lead the way with conservative rhetoric, over the past fifteen years our state budget has doubled, yes DOUBLED. In fact, during the recent budget cut years we were actually spending more that two years prior. Still we heard special interests tell us how our spending "cuts" were "criminal." Meanwhile, when revenues recovered our legislators still could not control themselves. They increased spending by 10 to 12 percent while per capita income and inflation only increased by a third of that.

Polls show that Oklahomans overwhelmingly want government spending increases to mir-

Tre Ronne said, " Bush and Congress are probably responsible for providing only half of the funds requested to strengthen the [New Orleans] Levees."

(The Toss -Up 9/27/05) This appears to be an assumption convenient to the writer's cause.

The US Army Corps of Engineers is in the process of completing a hurricane protection project, which is divided into several smaller projects, in the New Orleans area. The 17th Street and London Avenues canal levees (the ones that failed) have been completed to their full project design. LT. Gen. Carl Stock, Commander of the US Army Corps of Engineers, stated that even if the remaining portions of the project had been completed, the flooding would have occurred and funding is not a contributing factor.

Fiscal year 2006 funding for the project was $41.5 million. (US Army Corps of Engineers News Release No. PA-09-01 9/3/05) An Army Corps of Engineers

plan to install floodgates, capable of blocking storm surge from entering Lake Ponchartrain, was designed to protect the city in the event of a category five storm.

The project, which was authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1965, was blocked in 1977 by a lawsuit filed by Save Otit Wetlands (SOWL). Another Corps of Engineers plan would have raised and fortified the Mississippi River Levees but a lawsuit filed by the Sierra Club blocked it in 1996.

Analysis of the facts indicates that environmentalists are to be blamed for the flooding.

As for the suffering, when I see an entire city, up to and including the mayor, helplessly wailing "help me" rather than taking action, 1 blame the entitlement mentality, not the "extreme inequities" of our economic system.

nor their own incomes. In other words, they think it is wrong for government to gobble up all economic growth. They are convinced with good reason that we need to spend our money more wisely rather than raise more taxes.

Nevertheless, pressured by special interests, political will fails and vote-seeking behavior trumps prudence. Unfortunately, as NSU economics professor and OCPA adjunct scholar Dr. Rex Pjesky says, the only way to control spending is to control the ftinding—"to starve the beast." And Oklahoma's government is indeed a "beast," as Dr. Pjesky's research shows Oklahoma has 6,100 too many employees.

No wonder our state's economic growth rate is unacceptable. Colorado, however, has seen astounding growth over

the last decade. This success can be. directly correlated to the enactment of a Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR). TABOR (often blamed for some fiscal problems in the state) has even worked while having to overcome several unique challenges in their state. Oklahoma is poised to gain even more benefits from tax cuts, budget stabilization funds, and spending limits.

UCO provides an exceptional education at a third the cost of many other state universities, proving that smaller, smarter, cheaper government services are possible without sacrificing access or quality. Students and faculty at UCO should be proud of the example we have set and should support a TABOR amendment.

"It seemed like it took her three times as long to read a book (in English)," Scott said. "Listening to her struggle, it really got my attention."

Scott said teacher candidates who lead sessions satisfy a service-learning element of their program related to a "diverse cultural understanding of education" and utilize the understanding in classroom practice.

Leigh Smith, coordinator of the Academic Support Center, said international students hadn't had a lot of support services in place to help practice English before Campus Conversations.

She said the Academic Support Center had a similar program at one time, but with Campus Conversation's use of teacher candidates to lead sessions, it was a better fit for her department's goal of working with programs that provide "academic enhancements" for students.

Scott said some of the teacher candidates are from rural areas and have never had the chance to speak with a person from another country.

"It's a good opportunity to speak with international students. Some of the things they learn really makes an impact on their lives," Scott said. Teacher candidates have to write a paper about their experience leading the conversations, she said.

Conley said 1,000 voter registration forms were ordered for UCO. Her goal was to have 800-900 students register this year. 78 students registered.

"Seventy-eight is a good effort," Hines said. "Really, we have seventy-eight more students registered now than that were not registered before. You can't really fail in something like this."

A table was set up on campus for the two-day event, one day outside by Broncho Lake, and the other day inside the Nigh University Center.

Conley said she thought the biggest push would be from the residence halls. They ran a contest between the halls to see which one could get the

most students registered. There was one person who signed up through the residence hall contest.

Twenty-four campuses competed in the contest last year and more than 3,900 students registered. Oklahoma Christian Un.iyerSity wog the contest last year by registering 230 students.

"Last year was a big election year, and that probably boosted the number of students who registered a lot," Hines said.

"I think it's great that some students registered and hopefully they continue in their enthusiasm and go vote at the polls," Conley said.

The explosion occurred around 8 p.m. Saturday while Hinrichs sat on a bench outside George Lynn Cross Hall, officials said.

Authorities cordoned off the area • west of the stadium and no one was allowed to leave the facility immediately after the blast for security reasons.

Spectators were allowed to go outside about 30 minutes later.

There were no other reports of injuries and Boren said spectators were never in danger.

"My greatest concern was to make sure that all of our students were safe and that there is no ongoing threat to our students at the university, so that we could continue our classes as usual," Boren said.

The game, which was in the second quarter at the time of the explosion, went on without interruption and no announcement was made until the final minutes of the game. At that point, spectators were only informed to avoid the traffic circle where the explosion occurred, but were not told why.

as they came out, but we didn't want to make the announcement too early because we didn't want to cause any kind of panic within the stadium because it was fully under control at that time and we were most worried about what would happen if people left the stadium," Boren said.

Meanwhile, law enforcement officers early Sunday evacuated part of the student apartment complex where Hinrichs stayed. About 40 people were told to leave and not to return for at least a day, Boren told reporters.

City officials informed other nearby residents to evacuate, Boren said.

Greeks, student clubs vie for glory at 'Laff Olympics'

by Courtney Bryce

Vista Staff Writer

Vista Staff Writer

The Laff Olympics, where 13 Greek houses and student organizations competed against each other, was held at 6 p.m Sept. 29 by Broncho Lake.

The four Greek teams and two student organization teams competed separately, since the organizations had fewer people and it encourages more organizations to get involved, said Joy Mitchell, public relations senior and president of the Homecoming Activities Board.

Four games were set up, including a puzzle with the UCO Homecoming design on it, tug of war, slip and slide and an obstacle course.

In the slip and slide toss, students slid down and threw a ball at a board where they could earn 25, 50 or 100 points depending on which hole they shot the ball into. Each team had four players participating and each player had three chances to earn points.

"The obstacle course was set up like Nickelodeon's 'Double Dare,' " said Bonnie Green, public relations junior. "The two top teams from the other three events compete against each other to determine the winner."

"It was really messy, really gross, but a lot of fun," said Mitchell.

The two final teams were Team 3, which was Sigma Tau, ATO, and Alpha Gamma Delta and Team 4, which was Sigma Nu and Alpha Xi Delta. Team 4 came out on top, winning the competition.

"This is organized in a way so everyone can participate," said Mitchell. "There was a big cookout and inflatable games all around for those not participating in the contests. You could see how fast your fastball is, or try some sumo wrestling."

"It's primarily a Greek thing," said Stephen Dungy, finance junior. "But everyone

Nick Demos, artistic director of Lyric Theatre, will direct students in performances of the `Pajama Game' Oct. 6 though Oct. 8 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 9 at 2 p.m.

Billy Thrash, interim director of the Music Theatre Department said they brought in a guest director to help because Greg White, director of the department, took a year off to study for his doctorate.

"We've been able to handle it in and out of house. With Greg being gone we needed another voice," Thrash said.

"All directors are different on occasion. It's good to have another voice, another style, and another mind."

Thrash said Demos was perfect for the job because not only did he have a background with the show, but he also had a strong dance background. Thrash said he directed and choreographed the show for UCO. Demos said he performed in the national tour of 'Pajama Game' for a year.

"I worked with the people who originally put the show together," Demos said. "It was helpful that I already knew the difficulties of the show. Doing it the first time, you discover as you go."

Demos said the show is a challenge for the students because it is set in the 1950's and involves big dance numbers.

"I think they chose this show because it is an artistic stretch for the students," Demos said.

"It's a traditional show and big on dance."

Thrash said the students perform one classical and one contemporary piece each year to give students a chance to learn both styles.

"Our shows are selected to teach and to enlighten the students on different pieces," Thrash said.

Thrash said doing a classical show set in the 50's is different

29. could and should participate. It was a lot of fun."

Mitchell said in the past this event has always been held in the afternoon over a two-day period, and this year they decided to try something new and hold it on one evening so more students could participate.

"It was so amazing and everything we could have hoped for," said Mitchell. "Everyone got into it and the crowds cheered more this year than I have ever seen them before. It is just a great way to bring everyone together."

and in some ways harder than contemporary pieces because it's not a style students grew up with.

"When these pieces were originally done, they relied on the voice," Thrash said. "They were designed broader so actors could sing over the orchestra.

The show was created in order to be heard."

It was for this reason Demos cast Jay Krottinger, music theatre senior, as leading man Sid Sorokin.

"Jay has a really commanding presence and a fine voice," Demos said.

Krottinger said acting to make the 50's believable was hard.

"It's been a real challenge.

I was born in 1982, so getting used to stylistic choices and getting used to style is challenging because here, we're trained to do all styles of musicals."

Demos said when he cast he was not only looking at singing and acting abilities, but also dance techniques. "'Pajama Game' is most known for the number 'Steam Heat,' Demos said. "The Fosse choreography is extremely difficult. They (the students) rose to the occasion."

"In the past, until we changed the curriculum (of the music theatre program), we stayed away from big dance shows," Thrash said. "Now we can do shows like 'Pajama Game' where dancing is a main part of the show. It's exciting to see it expand."

Thomas Owens, music theatre senior and a lead dancer in 'Steam Heat', said the Fosse style is very precise and the poses have to be just right.

Owens said the other lead in the dance number, Ryan Steer, even rolled his ankle in rehearsal.

Owens was confident that Steer would be up and ready come show time.

"He's been able to put some weight on it," Owens said.

Shannon Hurleigh, assistant director and dance captain, said she is really excited for the - cast.

"We haven't done a big dance show in a while," Hurleigh said.

Owens said the last dance show, 'Hello Dolly', was almost three years ago.

Demos said 'Pajama Game' was put together in six weeks.

"Six weeks is a long time period," Demos said. "In the professional world you can have as little as one week. I'm pretty demanding. I come from the professional world and so I treat them (the students) as professionals and I expect pro

Homecoming talent show plays to a packed house

by Courtney Bryce Vista Stuff Write].

Students crammed into the Nigh University Center Ballrooms to cheer on fellow students in a school talent show Sept. 27.

Joy Mitchell, president of the Homecoming Activities Board, said 10 out of 20 acts that tried out performed in the show. She said the committee tried to put together a program that showcased a little dance, a little singing and a few stupid human tricks.

"One guy (Adam Lockstone) can kick himself in the head," Mitchell said.

Mitchell said most of the acts were representing clubs or organizations. However, she

said one student, senior Ryan Flick, entered the show independently. Flick sang "My City of Ruins," which he dedicated to the people of New Orleans.

"It's really good to get people that are not in an organization involved," Mitchell said.

Professional comedian and juggler Josh Casey emceed the event.

Mitchell said Campus Life had originally arranged for Dan Ahdoot to run the event.

"We changed comedians," Mitchell said. "Ahdoot had scheduling problems. He's a really funny guy and he's taught at a lot of campuses."

Casey announced all the acts, while threading his own tricks in-between student's performances.

"The different thing about tonight was emceeing," Casey

by Naomi Takebuchi

said. "Usually, 1 just do my act straight through."

Casey dropped his juggling props several times throughout the performance, but he immediately followed his mistakes with jokes.

"Sometimes things don't go as planned and you do the best you can," Casey said.

Casey said he enjoyed performing for UCO. "It's been great. The enthusiasm (of the students) is great," Casey said. `It's exciting to see students cheering their friends on."

The biggest audience reaction of the night was provoked by the Pike Pledges, who did their version of a 'Disney Extravaganza.' Students roared as the pledges came out a few at

a time dressed as various Disney characters, including Jasmine from "Aladdin" and Sebastian from "The Little Mermaid."

Justin Ladd, elementary education freshman, said he had no problem acting out the character of Jasmine, which including snuggling with a fellow Pike Pledge dressed up as Aladdin.

"That's my roommate," Ladd said. "It gets better."

The group won the crowd pleaser award and second place. ""We're just really big fans of Disney," Ladd said. "We were trying to do Disney justice."

The hip-hop dance group `Rendevous,' which represented the International Student Council, won first place.

"We choreographed it (the dance)," said Yoriko Kuwahara,

Rain dampens UCO Block Party

"This is the first year (to have it)," Morgan said. "It's like having a carnival at UCO." Morgan said they had arranged for a multitude of businesses to come out and sell food, crafts, art and other things.

"We were wanting to get more people to work on the Alumni Block Party," Morgan said.

Morgan said they even called the Oklahoma Blood Institute to hold a blood drive.

Several businesses responded to the request to bring their products and services to the block party. Many showed up as early as 2 p.m. to set up their tents.

Peggy and Larry Henderix, owners of the BBQ Barn, said they didn't have to pay anything to park their trailer on campus.

"The Alumni Association called us," Peggy said. "I don't even know how they got our name. I think it's just to draw more people."

A small crowd began to make its way on campus, but at 6 p.m. rain and lightning caused many families with small children to return home.

Sharon Bailey, who was in charge of the Beauti Control tent, said many people came by before it began raining.

"1 think the prime time for people to come out was during the rain," Bailey said. "We were hoping to see more people."

Another factor for the low turnout between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. was that Hamilton Field House was packed all the way to the top bleachers with students cheering on their friends and organizations in the Cheer

and Porn Competition.

The PIKEs won third place and once again took home a win by using humor. Students roared as the fraternity came out dressed in their short cheer shorts and shook their rear ends as much as possible.

Alpha Gamma Delta won second place with a choreographed routine that included a cardboard cut out of a UCO `party bus.' The Sigma Kappas won first place with hip-hop based choreography.

By 8 p.m. the tents on the other side of campus still had not seen much activity.

Karen Stark, who had a tent for "The Hugs Project," said she was pretty sure the weather had scared everybody of The Hugs Project, which was started by Stark, is a nonprofit organization that sews and sends cooling ties made out of polymer crystals to the soldiers in Afghanistan. Stark said the ties are called 'hugs' because the soldiers wear them around their necks.

The evening concluded with a bonfire and a concert put on by the Student Programming Board.

Dallas Strimple, president of SPB, said they normally have the concert the Sunday before the game. He said this year they waited until the Friday before to help with the block party.

The concert featured 'The Effect,' a local band from Tulsa and "Phantom Planet" who are notorious for the theme song of "The OC", a popular television program.

Despite the rain and disappointment of a small crowd, one Edmond morn was thrilled

Krottinger said they rehearsed six days a week. He also said rehearsals sometimes got humorous for him.

"I'm slightly dyslexic," Krottinger said. "Once, the director gave me directions (to turn my head) and I went the wrong way. We went over and over it and I couldn't get it. It was the stupidest thing."

Demos said the love scenes are not hot by today's standards.

"They're sweet," Demos said.

"I hope this opens the eyes of the younger audience to what an older show looks like," Owens said. "They might not be as sexually blatant as newer shows.

I hope they see that the music theatre at UCO is a well-rounded department."

"I hope the audience gets a new appreciation for this type of theater. It's not as popular as other shows they've done before," Demos said. "I hope the audience has a good time and laughs and enjoys the silliness. I hope they appreciate it."
