Police investigate second harrassment ■ UCO Department of Public Safety is investigating the second harrassment of a female on campus in two weeks. by Joseph Wertz Staff Writer A female was harrassed by two unknown white males at 10 p.m. Sept. 26 near the Wellness Center and University Suites. The subjects followed her into the University Suites and into an elevator with her. The victim was not physically assaulted. "In four years, these are the first incidents I have heard of, and are in no way typical," said News Bureau Director

Charlie Johnson. "DPS is very active in this investigation." Jeff Harp, director of Public Safety at UCO, said students need to remain alert and trust their instincts when on campus. "Be alert," he said. "Many students are wrapped up with other things and may not being paying attention." UCO's "Safe Walk" program will escort students to places on campus if they feel

uncomfortable. Students may call Safe Walk at 974-WALK (974-9255) from a cell phone or any phone on campus. Several buildings have Safe Walk intercoms specifically used to call for an escort. "Safe walk is an under-utilized program," Harp said. "We will escort students to anywhere on campus, from anywhere on campus." The University Commons have panic alarms in the units, and plans are being made to

"Safe Walk" boxes are located all over campus.

add alarms to the exterior of the building, Harp said.

Physical Description of Subjects from 09-26-04 Subject 1: Caucasian male, blank white T-shirt (untucked), dark colored baggy pants with pockets, stocky build, 5'7" tall, wearing dark blue or black plain baseball style hat, clean shaven, short dark hair. Subject 2: Caucasian male, Grayish-white shirt (untucked), dark pants, 180 pounds (thin build), 6'0" to 6'2", dark brown hair sticking out in back from plain black or dark blue hat. Kept hands in pocket continually, clean shaven. These two suspects were seen driving a late 90's model, compact car; white, four door, Texas license plate. For a list of safety tips, see page 3.

Physicist to lecture on da Vinci by Lauren Pulsinelli Senior Staff Writer Dr. Bulent Atalay, author of "Math and the Mona Lisa, The Art and Science of Leonardo da Vinci," will present two free public addresses Oct. 7 at UCO. Atalay is also a professor of physics at the University of Mary Washington, adjunct professor at the University of Virginia and a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. "The Enigma of Isaac Newton" will be his first address at 3:15 p.m. in the Crittenden Family Auditorium in Howell Hall. This address will blend elements of history, mathematics, the natural sciences and modern forensic medicine to explain what caused the breakdown in one of the finest minds in history. Then at 7:30 p.m. in Pegasus Theater in the Liberal Arts Building, Atalay will speak on "Math and the Mona Lisa: Bridging the Cultural Divide." This lecture will examine the science and mathematics that underlie Leonardo da Vinci's work using da Vinci as the model, while revealing the unity of the two cultures. "He has a prominent view of how arts and science disciplines are mixed together, instead of being two separate entities," said Dr. Mary Brodnax, Humanities and Philosophy associate professor. "They are the most creative disciplines when you cross them." The Oklahoma City da Vinci Institute, an organization that promotes interaction among the arts and sciences, brought Atalay to Oklahoma two years ago. "He came and spoke to Oklahoma City teachers," said Brodnax, who is also on the institute's board. "I knew they were about to sponsor another Atalay visit and said, we'd love to have him at UCO." Edmond's Best of Books will offer copies of "Math and the Mona Lisa" for sale after Atalay's address, and he will be available for signings. "It's (the book) not highly specialized. He explains things on a personal level," she said. Atalay has been a frequent keynote speaker to gifted students at the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth; he has addressed engineers at NASA and physicists at the University of Oxford, Caltech, Stanford and the University of Vienna. He's also a frequent lec-

Program reflects nationwide MBA trend ■ For homeland security reasons, fewer international students are being granted visas. by Joseph Wertz Staff Writer Applications for UCO's master's of business administration program have declined, following a trend occurring in many MBA programs. "Applications for our program are down," said Dawna Terrel, UCO's MBA program director. "When the economy is down, we see less applicants. In addition, there are difficulties with international concerns." UCO Director of International Student Services Dr. Ronald Paddack said the international situation is keeping many students from American schools. "The world conditions are not favorable for students to study in the U.S.," Paddack said. "The media's portrayal of the U.S. in the international media is making many students question if they want to study here." With growing border and homeland security concerns, student visas are difficult for many international students to get. Paddack said the rejection rate for student visas is high. Both The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and the Hass School at the University of California, Berkeley have 20 percent fewer applications for their MBA programs this year. U.S. News and World Report ranked both schools in the top ten graduate business programs.

Firefighters extinguish a truck fire Sept. 30 in the Liberal Arts Building parking lot.

Accidental fire consumes student's vehicle by Kelley Chambers and Lauren Pulsinelli Staff Writers An afternoon vehicle fire on Sept. 30 in the parking lot directly east of the Liberal Arts building left two vehicles damaged. Around 1:50 p.m. smoke was seen coming from a silver 1990 Chevrolet Silverado pick-up parked in the lot. "I saw smoke and somebody yelled, `That truck's on fire," said Jarrad Hobbs, a freshman business major who was standing outside the Liberal Arts Building. UCO campus police received the call at 1:59 p.m., said Sgt. Jon Peoples. The owner of the truck, Chad Fortelney, a biology sophomore, said the truck had been parked since 9:50 that morning. "It was smoking but I didn't see any flames at the time," Fortelney said. However after climbing into the truck he said, "I smelled something electrical (burning)." Fortelney said he attempted to clear the smoke by rolling down the windows and driving, though when he felt that the seat was heating up he pulled back into a parking spot. He said that after parking he unplugged a spotlight, which was under

the seat and charging in the truck's AC adapter and may have been switched on. "If it was on it's been on since last night," Fortelney said. Fortelney said he carried liability insurance on the truck. Johnnie Gibbon, battalion chief at Edmond Fire Station No. 1, which responded to the call, said he did not know the exact cause of the fire, but attributed it to the spotlight that had been

left on under the seat. "Our understanding was that the driver came out of class and when he got inside the truck he noticed smoke inside the cab," Gibbon said. "It continued to get hotter so he pulled the car into park." At that point the interior of the truck caught fire and began to burn, according to Fortelney.

OPINION October 5, 2004

Quote of the day I am not one of those who in expressing opinions, confine themselves to facts. —Mark Twain

Well, I heard that Coburn is so conservative he eats old people!

Today in History On this day in 1947, Harry Truman became the first U.S president to make use of television when he addressed the nation from the White House. Truman requested that Americans not eat meat on Tuesdays, nor poultry on Thursdays, to save on feed grains to help the starving in Europe.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, (Response to Danny Peters) UCO has always taken pride in its academic affairs. This year UCO Football has soared to new heights thanks to great coaching, outstanding players, and supportive fans. Danny Peters has insulted not only Lane Perry, but also anyone connected to UCO athletics and UCO pride. Question to Danny, "Who forced you away from your "busy" study schedule to support the Bronchos"? Lane Perry has made a significant difference to UCO. What have you done, Danny Peters? Our time at UCO is not only filled with classes and majors, but with life experience attained nowhere else! As faithful members of Old Blue Crew your statement insults us. Why should we choose only one thing to support when UCO has so many things to be proud of? Bronze and Blue Forever! Scott Jaggers, undecided freshmen; Molly Smith, education junior; and Stephanie Kidd, biology freshmen

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, As an active, loyal UCO student, I am responding to Danny Peters' letter to the editor and Lane Perry's "My Turn". I am in complete support of school pride, whether it be through supporting athletic teams or honor societies. College is about more than just getting an education from books. It's an experience. I assumed a graduate student would know that. For students who have read more than one issue of The Vista, they know that our student body president is concerned about more than just

football. I don't know who the heck Danny Peters is, but I certainly don't see him making a difference on this campus. By insulting Perry's encouragement of Broncho Pride, Peters is insulting everyone who is passionate about this university, including administration, faculty, and other students. I am honored Perry takes the time to encourage student life. See you at the next game. I'll be wearing bronze and blue. Hilarie Fite Public Relations & Broadcasting Senior

debates never end intelligently. CARTOON BY ERIC OSBORN

STAFF EDITORIAL

Debates are key to voter knowledge he presidential debates, held every four years, play a crucial role in educating Americans before the presidential elections. The first of the debates was held Sept. 30 at the University of Miami, and a second debate between vice-presidential candidates Dick Cheney and John Edwards will be Oct. 5. Watching and following the debates is the most effective way for voters to educate themselves on the candidates before the election. The one-on-one debates are a rare opportunity to witness candidates unscripted and, for the most part, on their own. A large number of voters will walk into their polling

places Nov. 2 with no real knowledge of where their preferred candidate stands. Don't be a habitual voter. The transcripts from the debates will be available at www.debates.org, the Web site for the Commission on Presidential Debates. The full transcript for the Sept. 30 debate between President Bush and Senator Kerry is currently available at the site. Take advantage of the series of debates that will be held over the next month. Get involved in a debate watch party. Know where your candidate stands. Know where you stand. And cast an educated vote Nov. 2.

HEART OF THE AMERICAN DREAM

Huey Lewis for president 2004 As a general rule, we Americans don't vote. There are numbers that prove this and they are staggering. I don't know these numbers off the top of my head — but they are staggering. On the upside, though, Reality Television in America is very popular. But keep the faith, there is a way to cure the voting numbers woes. More on that later. There's a new show on Fox called, "Trading Spouses." The premise of this show is very complicated and to explain it properly, I would probably have to watch it. I refuse to do this, however, and must, instead, make things up — journalistically of course. From the commercials I've gathered that spouses are traded. Specifically, the wife/mother of one family for the wife/mother of another. This is good television, and a wealth of knowledge can be extracted from watching it. Mainly, the knowledge that, it's a bad idea to trade spous-

GAVIN D. ELLIOTT COLUMNIST es. Now, I'm not a very political person. I would rather sit on my patio and listen to Huey Lewis and the News than listen to scripted speeches from politicians on the news. But this doesn't mean I'm not concerned for the welfare of this Great Nation. No. I'm always thinking of ingenious ways to improve on it. By "ingenious," I mean humorous to, at least, myself But first, we must recognize what the problem is.

which sometimes made it appear like George W. was singing "The Power of Love," which, I imagine, made the debate much more informative because I came up with a great idea that will cure voter apathy and restore American Democracy to the Great Thing it should be. We will combine American Government with American Reality television. We will call the show, "Extreme Real America" and it will air 24/7 on Fox. The premise of "Extreme Real America" is simple. We will trade our president for the leader of another country such as China, Uruguay or Canada, and they will carry out the day-to-day tasks of the American president, which include: golfing, owning at least one dog, and making up words when the words that already exist don't carry enough `timph.' There will be a camera following "politicians" wherever they go, so

there will be no more decisions made that directly affect Americans that, in the old system, Americans never knew about. To keep the voter's attention, there will be dramatic music that heightens suspense and some words will probably have to be bleeped out. There will also be a "confession booth" like on "The Real World," where actual "politicians," such as senators and lobbyists, can retire to "secretly" to express beefs they may have with other "politicians" such as: Politician: "I wanted to vote against the Ban on Gay Marriage today, but I was afraid everyone would think I was gay and throw fruit at me in the lunchroom." "Extreme Real America" will boost America's participation in its' government. It will be apparent when ratings come out.

Do you think the campus is safe?

"Yes, I haven't seen any real problems."

The problem with politics in America is, America never knows what's going on. Maybe because it's too busy watching Reality Television. But even if it wasn't watching shows like "Trading Spouses," and instead watched, say, the debates, it still wouldn't know what was going on. This is because what's happening on television during the debates is called "politics," and "politics" is a fancy word for "disregard for the truth," and "disregard for the truth" is fancy politician-speak for "lie." Real decisions are made in dark, smoke-filled rooms where cameras and souls aren't allowed. This is called "government." It's important to know the distinction between the two. So, on the night of the debates, I chose to watch them from my patio through the sliding glass door so I couldn't hear what the candidates said. Instead, I listened to Huey Lewis,

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — American researchers Dr. Richard Axel and Linda B. Buck shared the 2004 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine on Monday for their work on the sense of smell — showing how, for example, a person can smell a lilac in the spring and recall it in the winter. Their genetic work revealed a family of "receptor" proteins in the nose that recognize odors, and they illuminated how the odor information is transmitted to the brain.

21 killed in Baghdad car-bomb blasts WASHINGTON — Ahmad Chalabi, a former Iraqi exile who recently lost his standing as a special friend of the Bush administration, told Iran that the United States had broken the code of its intelligence service, according to broadcast and published reports June 1. CBS News initially reported Tuesday that Chalabi had told an Iranian intelligence official that the United States had cracked its codes, allowing U.S. agents to read Iran's secret communications. Revealing such information would expose one of the United States' most important sources of information about Iran.

Bush signs tax cut bill in Iowa WASHINGTON — Just in time for the election, President Bush is going to one of the most contested states to sign his fourth tax cut in four years. The White House is holding the signing ceremony Monday at a YMCA in Des Moines, Iowa_ a Democratic area of a state that Bush lost by a razor-thin margin in 2000. His Democratic opponent, Sen. John Kerry, follows Bush into Iowa this week, appearing Tuesday in Tipton to discuss issues that concern middle-class Americans.

Mount St. Helens belches more steam MOUNT ST. HELENS NATIONAL MONUMENT, Wash. — Mount St. Helens belched steam thousands of feet above the volcano's crater Monday, apparently the largest burst yet as days of tremors and low-level earthquakes have raised fears the volcano will blow at any moment. Scientists said it was unclear whether a larger eruption was still expected.

Supreme Court won't hear 'do-not-call' case WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court turned away a challenge Monday to the federal do-not-call registry, ending telemarketers' bid to invoke free-speech arguments to get the popular ban on unwanted phone solicitations thrown out. The court, without comment, let stand a 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision that upheld the registry of more than 57 million phone numbers as a reasonable government attempt to safeguard personal privacy and reduce telemarketing abuse.

The blaze was quickly contained by Edmond firefighters Jeff Fountain and Brian Hale who soaked the burning vehicle with water. "It only took a minute to put out," Fountain said. The cab of the truck was gutted by fire along with damage to several exterior panels. Also damaged was a green Mitsubishi Eclipse, parked next to the truck, which sustained exterior damage when flames licked the driver's side of the vehicle. Oriana Vick was called out of class to identify her vehicle. "What can you do," Vick said after viewing her charred Mitsubishi Eclipse. "Hopefully everything will be taken care of. He has liability (insurance), and I have full coverage. Fortelney said that his bag containing several textbooks and a

Since the fire occurred on campus, which is state property, the Edmond Fire dept. did not have jurisdiction to investigate, according to department investigator Tim Wheeler. Instead, he said the UCO campus police and the state fire marshal would handle the investigation. No injuries were reported and the truck was removed from campus around 4 p.m. by the A-Tow Wrecker service. Arson was ruled out, and Peoples of the UCOPD said on Oct. 4 that Agent Jim Green from the state fire marshals office investigated the incident.

ELECTION 2 004

October 5, 2004

U.S. Senate candidates meet Tim Russert ■ For full coverage of the debate between Reps. Carson and Coburn at UCO's Constitution Hall, see the Oct. 7 issue of by Ron Jenkins The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY — Rep. Brad Carson stressed that he is an independent Democrat and former Republican Rep. Tom Coburn hammered on the "evil" of excessive government spending Sunday in the first televised debate of Oklahoma's hard-fought Senate race before a national viewing audience. The debate on NBC's "Meet the Press" is one in a series involving competitive Senate races around the country. Republicans now hold a 51-48 majority in the Senate, with one Democratic-leaning independent. Carson was asked by host Tim Russert to explain what he meant by calling himself a mav-

erick and Coburn a gadfly during the course of the Oklahoma campaign. "A maverick is someone who breaks with his party to help our state, to help our country, who works in a bipartisan fashion to achieve constructive results," Carson said. He said Coburn criticism's and votes against road funding, farm legislation and other measures has hurt Oklahoma. Carson said he would be "a constructive force" for Oklahoma. Coburn denied his vote against a highway appropriation in 1999 cost his state $15 million. "I put every project in that bill that the Oklahoma Department of Transportation asked me to put in that bill," he said. "I was then offered a bribe

by the committee to vote for the bill. I could have $15 million to spend wherever I wanted to. I don't believe that's the kind of government we want. That's what we're seeing in Congress now with some of the ethical problems that are there." Coburn denied Carson's assertion that he opposes the Patriot Act, but said he had concerns about it. The former congressman also defended his statement that the Senate race was one of "good versus evil" by asking if it is good for the federal deficit spending to saddle future generations with debt that reduces their standard of living. He said he never meant to portray himself as "good" and Carson as "evil." Carson, who said he opposes Democratic presidential nomi-

nee John Kerry's plan to roll back tax cuts to the rich and supports President Bush's war in Iraq, said Congress can move closer to a balanced budget by cutting out waste, abuse, corporate tax loopholes and streamlining government agencies. Coburn criticized Carson's voting record, saying he voted to spend more than any other Oklahoma Congress member. He also pointed out that Carson voted for a bill that would have cut total road funding over six years in Oklahoma by $250 million "but it did enhance Brad's projects in his district." Carson defended a television ad that criticizes Coburn for voting against tornado relief in Oklahoma. "It is fair criticism," Carson said. "The people of Moore,

Oklahoma, that had that tornado blow through, had a press conference on Friday where they said that that money, which is explicitly labeled in the bill as coming to Oklahoma, that it was the wrong vote." Coburn said at the time of the vote, the Federal Emergency Management Administration had more than a billion dollars in reserve and none of the money in the bill ended up in Oklahoma. "That was money to replenish the reserve," he said. Russert quizzed Coburn on his stance on abortion. Coburn said he would outlaw all abortions except to save the life of the mother. Asked about saying he favors the death penalty for doctors who perform abortions, he said: "I think we have to use the law that's on the books to

The Vista.

respond to that, I sure do." Coburn also said he was the victim of a smear campaign in stories about him sterilizing a woman several years ago, then not listing the procedure on a Medicaid reimbursement form. The woman sued, saying the sterilization was done without her permission. The case was dropped, however, and there was no settlement. "You know, in he middle of the night, I got up and saved this young woman's life. She asked me and her mother asked me on the way to the operating room to make sure it didn't happen again. She had asked me before for that. This was brought to a court of law. It was thrown out by a judge."

Presidential debates to continue with VP face-off ■ The vice presidential debate will be televised from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, at 8 p.m. by Jennifer Loven The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Sandwiched between higheroctane presidential debates, this week's matchup between Sen. John Edwards and Vice President -Dick Cheney pits the Democrats' chief of cheer against the Republicans' shrewd and serious second-incommand. The presidential understudies meet Tuesday at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland for their only debate of the campaign. Their style and substance couldn't be more different, giving each plenty of material to try to undermine the other and have an impact, however small, on the national campaign.

,. . .t

At 51, Edwards is a boyishlooking Southern senator holding his first elective office who relies on his skills as a former trial lawyer in gauzy campaign speeches and feel-your-pain encounters with voters. At 63, Cheney is a balding Westerner with a long government resume who has embraced the vice presidential nominee's traditional attack-dog role with relish. Cheney, with a no-nonsense delivery from the side of his mouth, focuses on the continuing danger from terrorist attacks as reason to keep President Bush at the nation's helm. Edwards, flashing a highwattage smile, emphasizes his working-class roots in offering a can-do vision of a John Kerry presidency.

i Proclai m•Serve• Invite. Form

Chris t

While vice presidential debates typically have little influence on the race overall, there could be extra interest in this faceoff given the stark contrast between the rivals, Cheney's status as one of the most powerful vice presidents in history and the intense criticism he has drawn from Democrats. "It's more a curiosity than a dealmaker or dealbreaker," said Timothy Walch, director of the Hoover Presidential Library and an expert on the vice presidency. Edwards' challenge is to rattle his opponent and try to feed the Democrats' characterization of the vice president as pulling Bush too far to the right. Edwards, with proven skill at lobbing sharp attacks without turning off the charm, can draw on more than two decades of courtroom practice at cajoling juries to side with personal injury complainants.

But he must avoid coming off as a young upstart who is disrespectful of an elder statesman. If the North Carolina senator goes over that line, he will play into the Republican argument that he lacks the gravitas and foreign policy experience for the job. Cheney, who served as President Ford's chief of staff at age 34, spent five terms in Congress and served as secretary of defense during the 1991 Gulf War, will be hard to unnerve. Re could well face questions about allegations of conflict of interest that arose after Halliburton Co., which he once led, won no-bid contracts in Iraq. Other likely topics include his insistence that Saddam Hussein had ties to the al-Qaida terrorist network and that a Kerry victory would make the nation more vulnerable to a terrorist attack. Experts say the caricature of

Cheney is so extreme that people will be pleasantly surprised if he cracks a few dry witticisms and appears reasonable, as he did in a good-natured debate with Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Lieberman in 2000. "People have such a negative view of him, I like to joke that all he has to do is show up without horns," said Paul Light, professor of public service at New York University and author of a book on the vice presidency. Cheney also must gauge how far to take his attacks: He could try to paint Edwards as a money-chasing trial lawyer, or skewer him on his Iraq votes, but he needs to avoid turning off voters by appearing too extreme.

The agreed-upon format has the candidates sitting at a table rather than standing. That helps neutralize any physical advantage for Edwards over Cheney, whose history of four heart attacks has prompted occasional questions about whether he should be first in line to occupy the Oval Office.

Freshman Five â&#x2013; A group of freshmen will begin their collegiate theatre careers with this week's performances of "Two Gentlemen of Verona." by Kelley Chambers Staff Writer

When the curtain rises on Oct. 7 for the UCO Theatre Department's production of "Two Gentlemen of Verona," the cast will include five freshmen in prominent roles, a feat rather uncommon in a university production. But nothing was handed to the newest members of the department. "They won their roles in auditions," director Dr. Bob McGill said. "And it's a policy of mine to cast freshman when possible." McGill also said with a smaller theatre department, freshman are not swept under the rug and waiting for roles until their junior or senior years. "You can't sit around waiting for them to get better," McGill said. "Because it's a small enough program, they have a chance of being recognized." The five freshman are: Collin Andrulonis, who plays Panthino; David Shreve, who plays The Duke; Aaron Chartier and Gerrin Mitchell play outlaws, and Jimmy Pike plays the musician. McGill said he currently has around 30 freshmen enrolled in the Theatre Dept. And while the five students in "Verona," are new to UCO, they are not green when it comes to theater experience. Mitchell and Shreve, both 18, have appeared in Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park. Pike, 18, has worked with Jewel Box,

tri)

Andrulonis, 18, spent eight years with the Chickasha Community Theatre and Chartier, 19 is involved with an Oklahoma City based acting group called Peteet Theater. All five came to UCO for

"They have responded superbly, they take direction well and run with it, and they've added so much of their own." â&#x20AC;&#x201D; DR. BOB MCGILL Director, "Two Gentlemen of Verona"

similar reasons including the size of the department, its reputation and proximity to home. "It seemed like the best program," said Shreve, who is from Edmond. "I think I'll be able to learn a lot here." "I was already familiar with the UCO drama department and professors," said Pike, of Oklahoma City. "I felt real comfortable here." Chartier, from Edmond, and Mitchell, from Guthrie, both said: "It's close to home." Mitchell also added: "I heard that it was a nice school with a strong theater program." As to their reaction to being among the newest members in the department, the quintet, all taking full class loads seemed optimistic about their theatre experience and education so

far. "It's been awesome," Andrulonis said. "The cast and production staff have been very helpful and I'm learning a lot." But all the hard work does take its toll. "It's really stretching me," Shreve said. "This is the biggest part I've ever had." As far as culture shock from high school and community theater to a university production, all five freshman said they have not had trouble adjusting. "Most of the theater I've worked with runs the same way, with a certain level of professionalism," Mitchell said. McGill said he is able to attract promising high school seniors to study at UCO through various means including teacher recommendations and scholarships. "The high school teachers are saints and they point people our way," McGill said. "Sometimes students come with parents, meet with me, have lunch with some of the students, then audition and sometimes I can offer them a scholarship on the spot to pay for classes." And so far McGill is not planning on throwing back any of his recent catches. "Every one of them is a keeper," McGill said. "They have responded superbly, they take direction well and run with it, and they've added so much of their own." "They've made their mark," McGill said. "They're each full fledged members of the department."

No. 7 Bronchos beat Bulldogs, 37-19 by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor

The No.7-ranked Central Oklahoma football team rallied from a 13-0 deficit to beat Southwestern Oklahoma 37-19 on Oct. 2 in Weatherford. After turnover troubles early, UCO scored 37 unanswered points to dismiss SWOSU's upset bid. "I wasn't really concerned. They got two big plays but I knew those boys couldn't play with us," Anthony Byrd said of the deficit. UCO (6-0) started slow as Justin Allgood was intercepted by Michael Hart on the Bronchos' first possession. SWOSU took the lead on a 1-yard run by Jimmy Jenkins. UCO drove right down the field on their next possession but Kevin McKenzie fumbled and SWOSU's Terry Joinerrecovered it at the Bulldog 17. The Bulldogs extended their lead to 13-0 after Beau Dodson hit James Sadler from 63 yards giving SWOSU the lead after one quarter.

McKenzie rushed for 145 yards on 22 carries, while Jones added 43 yards on 12 carries. "McKenzie and Jones' running was key in the win. The offensive line played really well and the running game provided balance to our attack," Jones said. Allgood passed for 300 yard for the third-straight game. He passed for 300 yards on 23-of33 attempts with one TD and two interceptions. Zach Edwards earned LSC North offensive player of the week honors with 11 catches for 177 yards and one touchdown. Jones had 10 catches for 77 yards. Turquoy Riggs led UCO with eight tackles (two for loss) while Byrd, Uriah Matthew and Tyler Ellis each added seven. Fred Shaw had one interception and four tackles. "We started off slow defensively but we picked it up (as the game went on). But if we play like that against Texas A&M-Kingsville we'll have a much harder time," Byrd said. UCO travels to Kingsville to face the No.4-ranked Javelinas Saturday at 7 p.m in a battle of two of the nation's top 10 teams.

UCO again drove the ball right down the field but Allgood was intercepted in the Bulldogs' endzone by A.J. Pannell. After forcing the Bulldogs to punt, Allgood hit Zach Edwards for a 28-yard gain on 3rd-and-15 at the UCO 20. "Allgood's pass to Zach on 3rd-and-15 was a big play. If we didn't convert that they could have went up 20-0 on us," Cedric Jones said. Chad Tsotigh topped off the 12-play, 93-yard drive with a two-yard TD run to get Central on the board. After the Bronchos defense forced another SWOSU punt, McKenzie scored on a 30-yard run to tie the game at 13. UCO forced another threeand-out by SWOSU on the Bulldogs next drive. Allgood hit Edwards for 20 yards then another 21 yards and they capped it off with a 5yard TD connection to give UCO a 20-13 lead at halftime. "I knew if we didn't turn the ball over, our defense would stop them and I knew they couldn't beat us in a shootout," Jones said. McKenzie's 21-yard touchdown run and A.J. Haglund's 30-yard field goal made the Bronchos lead 30-13 after three quarters. After a 27-yard punt return from Edwards, Chris Jones covered the final 18 yards in four carries capping off the drive with a eight-yard TD run. SWOSU added a lag TD to
