Counseling center to offer depression screening
Free 'Better Than Ezra' concert to kick off Homecoming
by Sarah Skinner Staff Writer The Student Counseling Center will offer free depression screenings to UCO students and faculty Oct. 7, in conjunction with National Depression Screening Week. The screenings will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Rm. 402 in the Nigh University Center, and from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. across from the food court. No appointments are necessary. The screening will take 5 to 10 minutes, during which a student fills out a questionnaire on their sleeping habits, eating habits and emotions. A counselor from the Student Counseling Center then discusses the results with the student, and if it is found that they have depression, they are referred to someone who can help. Depression is common among college students, said Jan Chapel, coordinator of Student Counseling Services. She said some of the symptoms are too much or too little sleep, eating too much or too little, experiencing a loss of interest in pleasurable activities, having feelings of sadness or discouragement, low self worth, feeling tired, irritability, and often difficulty concentrating. For more information, call the Student Counseling Center at 974-2215.

Brian Bates, a journalism student, exposes Oklahoma City's prostitution problem by videotaping people in the act.
Fighting crime via video ■ One journalism student takes things into his own hands as the 'Video Vigilante.' by Emily Rothrock StafrWriter Imagine finding two total strangers having sex in your driveway. Imagine pressing charges against those people and then the judge and jury finding them innocent. How frustrated would you be? What would you do about it?
This is what happened to Brian Bates, a UCO junior journalism student, nine years ago. The defense attorney claimed that Bates must have been lying. Bates said the attorney said that there is no way someone could walk up on two people having sex without him or her knowing about it. Bates's own attorney suggested
using a video camera if it ever happened again, and so the "Video Vigilante" was born. Nine years later, Bates has his own Web site, www. Videovigilante.com , and his work has been shown on airwaves across the globe.

Carson, Coburn clash in U.S. Senate debate ■ The hopefuls for U.S. Senate from Oklahoma faced off at UCO this week. by Joseph Wertz Staff Writer Congressman Brad Carson and Dr. Tom Coburn discussed issues on a nationally televised debate in Constitution Hall Oct 4. Coburn and Carson are candidates for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Don. Nickles. More than 500 people attended the debate, which was sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Retired Persons and broadcasted by KOCO 5 television. In their opening statements, both candidates drew focus to the economy in Oklahoma, as well as their visions for the future of the country. "We can have a better Oklahoma and better country," Carson said. Carson, a Democrat from Claremore, also mentioned the need to focus on the farm economy of Oklahoma as well as public education.
In his opening remarks, Coburn, a Republican from Muskogee, said the United States has "a deficit of moral courage." The war in Iraq was a primary focus for debate questions. Coburn highlighted his role as a "medical missionary" and agreed with the course President Bush has taken on the war. "There have been mistakes in this war, and in all wars," Coburn said. Coburn also said that if we spend the way we are spending, we won't be able to support the war. Carson underscored the need for the U.S. to support their troops. "My support for President Bush is unwavering," Coburn said. Carson also registered his support for President Bush. "Winning the war in Iraq is a vital part of winning the war on terrorism," Carson said. "Iraq is a top priority."
Pointing out Coburn's previous criticism of the Patriot Act, Carson cited a quote in which Coburn said, "Our biggest threat is from the government's removal of our rights and personal freedoms." Carson rebutted Coburn's earlier statement by saying, "Our biggest threat is from people who think we have more to fear from our government." Coburn didn't deny making the statement but admitted to changing his mind when "convinced otherwise." Military base closures were also a topic during the debate, as Oklahoma is home to several military installations. Coburn said he would "oppose vigorously" any attempt to close installations in Oklahoma, but noted that the U.S. House and Senate passed legislation to begin base closures. "It will hap-

The Accounting Club kicked off three consecutive days of "mock interviews" Oct. 5 in the Career Services Center on the fourth floor of the Nigh University Center. The interviews will continue through Oct. 7. Club President Joe Walker said 39 students signed up for the' opportunity to be interviewed and critiqued by one of seven firms that employ accountants. "September is when accounting firms do their recruiting, because spring is tax season," Walker said. "Our members were required to sign up, then send in a cover letter and resume to the company they're interviewing with." Above all, Walker stressed in a letter to interviewees, "Dress professionally and do not be late." The seven companies participating are Cole & Reed, Devon Energy Corporation, Finley & Cook, Grant Thornton, John M. Arledge & Associates, Kerr McGee and KPMG. On hand Tuesday evening were representatives from Finley & Cook, KPMG and Grant Thornton. Melissa Orton, an audit manager from KPMG, one of the "Big Four" accounting firms in the United States, was doing mock interviews at UCO for the first time, but knew the type of accountant her company was looking for. "We're looking for people that have the academic skills to do the job, good communication skills and can work as a team." And while Orton could not make an offer of employment on the spot, she did have good news for promising candidates. "I am in a position to bring someone in for an actual interview," she said. All of the Tuesday evening inter-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, It would appear Mr. Elliott preaches pessimism as if it were fact. Pessimism is rarely constructive and never takes responsibility. The steady tune-out of the American voter is a tragedy, but blaming it on archaic depictions of "soulless, smoke filled rooms" is a red herring that leaves citizens feeling more like dupes than participants in an active democracy. We enjoy one of the most open governments on the planet; and it is striving to become more so. Visit
www.Firstgov.gov and see how your government is trying to reach you. As college students, we know that if you cram the night before, you'll probably fail the test. If you're relying solely on the debates, you're cramming. Anything worth doing is worthy of personal investment. And educated voter is not a dupe, and an educated voter can recognize the difference between entertainment and reality. Jeremy Gameros General business, senior CARTOON BY ERIC OSBORN

Will vote for Tostitos I'm sure you have heard of Michael Moore. Well he is on a campaign to get "slackers" to vote. He is even offering year supplies of Tostitos brand tortilla chips to motivate younger, less likely voters to stamp the ballots. Will it work? There has been much emphasis on the youth vote for this election. Are students going to "Rock the Vote?" Will they listen to P. Diddy and "Vote or Die?" I am skeptical. Every four years it comes up. This is the year of the young voter; they are finally going to be a force to reckon with. But they never are. There are a million reasons why we can imagine that younger potential voters don't.

Report may undercut Bush's Iraq rationale WASHINGTON — The final report of the chief U.S. arms inspector for Iraq is expected to undercut a principal Bush administration rationale for removing Saddam Hussein: that Saddam's Iraqi government had weapons of mass destruction. Weapons hunter Charles Duelfer will provide his findings Wednesday to the Senate Armed Services Committee. In drafts, Duelfer concluded Saddam's Iraq had no stockpiles of the banned weapons but said he found signs of idle programs that Saddam could have revived once international attention waned.
VP candidates slug it out over Iraq, jobs CLEVELAND — Vice President Dick Cheney and Democratic rival John Edwards slugged it out over Iraq, jobs and each other's judgment in their one and only debate Tuesday night before heading for the battleground state of Florida and its 27 electoral votes. Cheney was appearing Wednesday in Tallahassee, Edwards in West Palm Beach. The hard-hitting debate between Cheney and Edwards set the stage for what is likely to be more of the same in Friday's second televised presidential showdown between their bosses.
Iran takes steps to enrich uranium TEHRAN, Iran — Iran has produced "a few tons" of the gas needed to enrich uranium, a top nuclear official said Wednesday, confirming the country has defied international demands and taken a necessary step toward producing nuclear fuel _ or nuclear weapons. Uranium hexafluoride gas is the material that, in the next stage, is fed into centrifuges used to enrich uranium. Uranium enriched to a low level is used to produce nuclear fuel to generate electricity and enriched further can be used to manufacture atomic bomb.
North students miss school because of threats EDMOND, Okla. — About 500 Edmond North High School students missed school Tuesday while police officers, FBI agents and district officials guarded the halls and investigated two hit lists found in the school's bathrooms. Classes ended without incident Tuesday, the day that two notes threatened violence against 17 black students, said Associate Superintendent Brenda Lyons. But many of the 2,100 students who attend the school chose to stay home. The average number of absent students is 60, but that number increased by 800 percent when 500 students didn't show up for classes.

viewers said employment at their firms would be contingent on applicants taking the certified public accountants examination. "They will have to be eligible to sit for the CPA exam before hiring," Orton said. The first students to arrive on Tuesday for 6 p.m. meetings were Sherry Wilson and Liberty Wilson (no relation), nervous but dressed to a tee with resumes and cover letters in hand. Both said they were nervous, and Sherry added, "I've never been on an interview before so I don't know what to expect." "I'm nervous," Liberty said. "Hopefully I can learn from it and do better next time." After Liberty's interview with Lee Durbin, from the firm of Grant Thornton, she said it had gone well and she had received some good advice. "He said get in with Career Services, stay , in the Accounting Club and get my resume on the Internet," she said. Durbin, a tax associate at Grant Thornton, and 2002 UCO accounting graduate, had the following advice for interviewees. "Try not to be as nervous," Thornton said. "Being nervous is kind of a double-edged sword. Being nervous means you want the job, but being too nervous can make your voice quiver."

VIDEO VIGILANTE from page 4 "I know my limitations; I know I won't cure prostitution," Bates said. "But I just want to get them out of my neighborhood." Bates was living in what is called the "Midtown District." Two primary areas near his home with heavy prostitution traffic were 10th and Western and 10th and Blackwelder. Bates wanted to do something about the prostitution happening in his neighborhood. He joined the Neighborhood Association, wrote down tag numbers and called 911 every time he saw suspicious behavior. At a Neighborhood Association meeting, he confronted a police officer in attendance. "What are you doing with all the tag numbers we call in?" Bates asked. He remembers the officer admitting that they really couldn't do anything unless they saw the crime happening. So Bates took matters into his own hands. Every time he saw suspicious activity, he immediately called 911, told them where he was and started shooting with his video camera. It wasn't long before his footage found its way to all three local Oklahoma City news stations. "There is a misconception that people think this [prostitution] doesn't happen," Bates said. "Another thing, where there is prostitution there are almost always drugs." More often then not Bates has seen prostitutes and their "Johns" hide in plain sight to have sex. Bates said he has footage of sex acts taking place in grocery store parking lots and church parking lots while church is in attendance. One of the most shocking scenarios is when prostitutes and their "dates" are "taking care of business" on the hood of the John's car while children are playing in the playground not 30 feet away. "Children are at risk to be witnesses and could happen on needles in the parking lot," Bates said. The frustration and anger is Bates's voice is very evident as he talks about what he has witnessed. "When people ask me why I do this, I say, `Why aren't your" Bates said. "You feel sorry for starving kids in other countries, why don't you feel for the situations in your own back yard?" "People really believe that real life is like the movie, 'Pretty Woman' or that these prostitutes are working their way through medical school," Bates said. "Prostitution is not something little girls want to be someday; it is a result of an addiction to drugs, money it brings in or even a man. I've never met a rich prostitute." Bates recalled an interview he held with a

Over the past nine years Bates has amassed Recently Bates put together a documentary
using the footage of the past eight years of Oklahoma City street prostitution. This tape will soon be for sale on his Web site. He hopes this video will give people a greater understanding of prostitution and show the negative impact it has on so many people and their communities. Along with the candid reactions of people being interrupted while having paid sex, there will be interviews with prostitutes and their pimps. "Their reaction is priceless," Bates said, "especially when I zoom in on their wedding ring." Bates wrote on his Web site, "The decision to produce, promote and distribute a tape was not an easy one." Despite his difficult decision, the $19.99 video has been reserved by more than 35,000 people so far. Every time Bates thinks he's had enough, a neighbor says something supportive or will see him at the gas station and buy his gas as a thank you for what he has done. "These actions confirm that I'm doing the right thing," Bates said. But Bates's job can be dangerous. He said he has never been punched or attacked, but he has been shot at. "The fact is they [Johns] are cowards. They know its wrong," Bates said. "I've never been in an altercation." But Bates does admit to having guns pulled on him. He said he has a weapon but usually doesn't carry it. One of Bates's tactics is opening up car doors if the windows are tinted. Because Bates has no criminal intent and his footage proves it, he isn't breaking the law. He does warn any future video vigilantes that would consider trying their hand at filming prostitutes. "You can't just pick up a video camera and go — you must educate yourself." And he has. Bates is a journalism student and is enrolled in various business classes. He said his favorite class is Media Law with Dr. Mark Hanebutt of the Journalism Department. "It pertains to me the most. I've been threatened to be sued all the time," he said. Bates has only had to appear in court once in nine years. He is very careful to always involve and communicate to the police, he said. Before agreeing to do this interview, Bates requested that there be no geographical references to his whereabouts and that he wouldn't talk about his family. He has been threatened before and he would prefer to keep this information private as to protect his family.

Group holds food drive to benefit DHS for holidays by Lauren Pulsinelli Senior Staff Writer
W.O.M.E.N. (Women of Many Ethnic Nationalities) will collect food for the Department of Human Services from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.every Wednesday in October. Canned and dry food items will be used for community Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets. "This year we picked DHS to try to help out women, children and families in need," said Queena Ezeala, vice president of WO.M.EN. "People helped my family when we needed it and we want to help people in that kind of situation." Karen Jacobs is the Oklahoma DHS office of volunteerism coordinator and was asked to speak to the organization about volunteer opportunities. "They picked the project and set the goals themselves," she said. The organization is also planning to do more volunteering activities with DHS, Jacobs said. Organizations like W.O.M.E.N. and volunteers are needed at DHS. "We are experiencing the largest caseload and highest budget restraints the agency has ever seen," said Dustin Pyeatt, DHS public information specialist. "DHS is operating on record levels. Food stamps in particular are at an all time high," he said. By the end of the year 2000,
SENATE DEBATE from page 1 pen," Coburn said. "We will support our bases because they are the best out there. I am confident we can hold our bases and expand our mission." Carson said bases should not be closed in a time when they are going to be needed. "I will lay in the tracks to stop them," Carson said about base closures. Carson mentioned a 49-47 vote by the U.S. Senate in the decision to start closing bases. Both candidates fielded questions about social security and health care. Coburn spoke of his support for reimportation of lower priced prescription drugs from Canada. "Drugs cost 50 percent more here than they do anywhere else," Coburn said. "I don't want people making the decision not to take a pill because they have to eat."
Carson agrees with reimportation and spoke about his mother, who has Parkinson's disease, and her need for Medicare assistance. Carson said her monthly bills were more than a thousand dollars a month. The debate continued with discussion on road and bridge conditions in Oklahoma, which are among the worst in the nation. Carson said he supported a highway bill co-authored by Sen. Jim Inhoff. Coburn agreed that roads in Oklahoma were in bad shape, and said there is a "formula for highways." Coburn's closing statements included a bid for small businesses and a plea for voters to not mischaracterize him, and what his opponent says about him. The debate was carried nationally on C-Span. Oklahoma News 5 news anchor Tyler Suiters moderated the debate. Questions were taken from Eyewitness News 5, their viewers and the candidates themselves.

It's been a steady increase," Pyeatt said. People not making their child supports payments has also become a problem for DHS, he said. "If more people would pay child support it would help keep the flow of food stamps down," Pyeatt said. "We are trying to do a lot more with a lot less." Pyeatt said part of the reason for the increase is the economy. "Many new jobs don't pay enough," he said.

Sports Writer
The Central Oklahoma women's golf team, coached by Patty Coatney, is ranked number one among Division II by Golfstat.com . The Bronchos were in action at the Southern Nazarene Fall Classic Oct.4, earning their second win of the fall season. The defending Lone Star Conference Champs shot a final round of 321 on the 6,150-yard, par 72 course to conclude the two day, 36-hole tournament at 635 at the Rose Creek Golf Club.

She was four shots over after five holes, only to come back birdie the par-4 ninth hole to round the turn at 39 finishing strong with five pars and four bogeys to win. Sturdivan started slowly at 11-over after, 11 holes before playing the final seven twounder, making a 30-foot birdie putt on her final hole.
