Central Plaza gas siphoning incident lands pair in jail

Deadlines moved up for spring, fall 2006 graduation applications Students planning to graduate must make early cutoff or face penalty fees

Police crack down on fuel bandits by Trisha Evans

Too many last minute applications cited as reason for new deadlines

Vista Senior Staff Writer

Erika Thomas, a UCO student, called campus police Sept. 29 when she discovered more than $30 of gas had been stolen out of her car. Police said 11 gallons were siphoned from her tank some time between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. when her car was parked in the commuter lot south of the 7-Eleven store at the corner of Ayers and University streets. Officer Sherrick McCray, who responded to the call, said this is the first instance of siphoning he can remember in the seven years he has worked at UCO.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I read the article concerning the campus "streaker." It is very disturbing to me that a professor who did not witness the "crime" was the one, who made

the emergency 911 phone call

on the student. I have personally seen how a 911 call based on secondhand information can go terribly wrong. I am not

saying that I think Ms. Weidell should have ignored the situation. What I am saying, is that if she was so concerned about a possible "naked" person, she

should have taken the initiative to gather more information before calling 911, Ms.

Weidell referred to the incident as "just a matter of business

that needed to be taken care of." When it comes to reporting a crime, "taking care of business" should include gathering facts before involving the police.

Joshua Hollman of the UCO College Republicans

Tre Ronne member of UCO Democratic Socialists

Editor's note: This week Tre Ronne from the UCO Democratic-Socialists and Joshua Hollman from the UCO College Republicans respond to one another's "Toss-Up" columns from last Tuesday (10/04/05) concerning the Oklahoma Taxpayer's Bill of Rights. To view their previous comments visit www. thevistaonline.com and click the "Opinion" link or enter "The Toss-Up" in the Archives option. To respond to The TossUp, send an e-mail to kchambers@thevistaonline. com. Josh Hollman claims that UCO's relatively inexpensive

education "[proves] that smaller, smarter, cheaper government services are possible without sacrificing access or quality." But perhaps there is a minimum funding requirement for higher

education, and UCO may be near or below it.

Adjuncts at UCO teach roughly 50 percent of courses. Adjunct pay has not risen in 15 years, not even for inflation. An adjunct without a terminal degree, teaching full-time at UCO earns $15,600 without benefits â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the federal poverty line is around $19,000 for a family of four. Maybe not many adjuncts are trying to support a family of four solely on a full-time load at UCO; but then again, maybe they are. I don't have that statistic. Low pay impacts us as students if our teacher's only office is the hallway or if they must run off to their next job immediately after class. And it's unconscionable. But the administration is strained in its ability to correct this. "Over the past five years (at UCO), inflationary costs alone have grown more than $7.9 million, while state funding

-Harry Moller, photographic arts, senior

Tre's opposition editorial last week actually illustrated my main pointâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we need reforms because vocal special interests are controlling government spending. He cites "research" from the Community Action Project. While CAP makes attempts at appearing as an unbiased policy institute, it is really a government funded private welfare provider which tries to justify more spending at every opportunity. The public schools provide an example of how our state keeps pouring more and more money into "problems" without regard for results. We have sacrificed other vital government spending in an attempt to improve education. (Wonder why our roads are underfunded? Over half of our road user fees have been re-earmarked for education). Yet, in that time we -Tre Ronne, UCO have NO appreciable improvements. Democratic-Socialists While public education is has fallen about $884,000 during that same period" (Gollob, Daily Oklahoman 18/06/05). In FY 04-05 UCO received roughly $2,000 less per full-time student than OU or OSU and 40 percent less in state allocations, including a FY 04-05 cut of $4.7 million (9.99 percent), the largest single cut in UCO history, resulting in a $6.7 million overall budget shortfall. Speaking about legislation to keep some of the projected TABOR refunds for public services, Colorado State Sen. Steve Johnson (R-Fort Collins) asked, "Do you want a $49 check this year, or do you want a functioning health care safety net, adequate roads and affordable higher education?" (Kampfe, Rocky Mountain Collegian 07/09/05.)

an honorable and constitutional pursuit in this state, we have irresponsibly poured our money down a black hole. Government schools should have achieved an economy of scale. Instead, a recent study shows they cost more per student than most private schools in the state (www. ocpathink.org/ViewEvent . asp?ID=174). Let me be clear. I am not saying cut vital government services. I am illustrating how a slowed growth in spending

caused by TABOR would merely "cut the fat" and balance government. Tre said TABOR would "cut" education spending. In fact, while it would "control" growth, it would not "cut" a cent. Tre quotes Dr. Mickey Hepner's concerns. In fact, Dr. Hepner has authored an article in favor of a modified TABOR. As to his worries over the ratcheting down of spending by Colorado's TABOR,

Oklahoma's TABOR amendment provides for "recovery growth" to counteract this, not to mention for more effective

"budget stabilization" funds to keep government services going during bad years, when they are needed most. A strong majority of Oklahomans polled want to control taxes and government spending because they think our politicians are not being responsible enough with what they have. It grieves me to see that Tre would call those of us seeking a progressive solution to inadequate government "greedy and rich." TABOR will put more money in EVERY Oklahoman's pocket, but the real reason for a TABOR is to be better stewards of the money that came from those pockets in the first place. -Joshua Hollman, UCO College Republicans

WORD ON THE STREET: THE OKLAHOMA LOTTERY BEGINS WEDNESDAY OCT. 12 Compiled and photographed by Naomi Takebuchi.

Do you think the state lottery is a good idea? Do you plan to play the lottery? Why or why not? "1 feel it will be good, especially when it comes to education in the state. I heard most of the money would go there.

"I think the lottery is a good idea. We all end up going to Kansas to get them anyway. Why not keep our dollars in the state."

"The lottery may solve some problems in the state as far as education is concerned, but it also causes its own problems because of the fact that it's addicting." "I'll probably play just to see if I win."

"Well, we already have casinos so I don't think the lottery would be much different." "As far as playing the lottery, I have never had any deep interest, however, winning would be wonderful."

Death toll estimates ranged , from 20,000 to 30,000. British rescuers unearthed a man trapped in rubble for 54 hours, residents using their bare hands and crowbars freed two girls buried in a school for more than two days, and a woman and child were pulled to safety from a wrecked apartment building after 62 hours.

Iraqi insurgents continue attacks to disrupt referendum

Dr. Kerry Magruder speaks Oct. 5 at the Ronald J. Norick Library in Oklahoma City as part of the Research Revolution Series. said Gwen Dobbs, director of Development and member of the Friends of the Library. "It is also a great educational opportunity. We try to pick topics that are pertinent today." The first topic of the series, discussed Oct. 6, was "Galileo: the Relationship between

Science and Religion." The moderator was Dr. Kerry Magruder, an assistant professor in the History of Science Collections at the University of Oklahoma. "We pick discussion leaders who are experts in the field," said Dr. John Barthell, associate

dean of UCO's College of Math and Science. "Dr. Magruder is eminently qualified with his expertise as a scholar." Barthell said the relationship between science and religion is a hot topic right now and Magruder is speaking about it at various universities. Attendees watched a video called "Galileo's Battle for the Heavens," a detailed account of many of Galileo's achievements and struggles. "These evenings are opportunities for people to come learn and be informed," Dobbs said. "The series gives the information and tools to learn about the topic and make your own informed decisions." "I came to learn more about the relationship between science and religion," said John Sutton, UCO finance senior. "Galileo seemed to have some profound insight on this subject." Future topics include: "End of Life Issues and the Right to Die," Oct. 20 at Edmond Public Library, "Emerging Infectious Diseases," Nov. 3 at Southern Oaks Library and "Stem Cell Research" Nov. 17 in Howell Hall at UCO.

BAGHDAD, Iraq–Insurgents launched a new salvo of attacks five days ahead of a crucial constitutional referendum, killing at least 18 Iraqis and a U.S. soldier Monday with suicide car bombs, roadside explosives and drive-by shootings, police said. Five mortar shells were fired at a hotel in the southern city of Hillah where a U.S. regional embassy office is based, with one round hitting the building and leaving a large hole in a wall, police said. No casualties were reported.

GAS: Police recommend locking gas caps for cars from page 1 "I'm sure the rise in gas prices has been why we've had two instances lately—up from none," McCray said. The first instance occurred Sept. 10 when Thomas J. Mackimmie, 41, of Edmond and Vincent Harmon, 43, of Oklahoma City were spotted siphoning gas in the north parking lot of Central Plaza. Employees of the Edmond Fire Department saw Mackimmie and Harmon and called the UCO Department of Public Safety. When police responded, the men ran. Harmon entered the sewer system on the south end of campus near the Ropes course, where he was later arrested. Mackimmie was arrested at

Target on Second Street, said Sgt. Jon Peoples, UCO DPS detective. Both men were charged with auto burglary, public drunkenness and resisting arrest, Peoples said. "I'm sure it's been happening, probably everywhere," said Jeff Harp, director of DPS. 7-Eleven stores in the metro area have changed their policy to "pay before you pump," said Steve Cooper, 7-Eleven district manager. "I'm surprised we haven't had more, to be honest, but we've been pretty visible in looking for it," McCray said. "We've had increased patrol looking for this type of activ-

"The best bet is to get a locking gas cap," Harp said. Thomas said she bought a locking gas cap at Auto Zone for $11 and hasn't had any problems since. "You might have had gas siphoned from you car and you not even know it," Harp said. "When you siphon a tank it doesn't take everything," McCray said. "The car will probably still start." Although McCray said gas siphoning is far from being an epidemic problem, it is still good to take precautions.

Gov. Henry gets wish; state lottery to begin Oct. 12 and Missouri. Oklahoma voters adopted the lottery resolution with 64 percent of the vote. Sixty-eight percent voted for a companion measure creating a "lockbox" to make sure lottery proceeds are deemed additional education funding and not used to supplant existing funds going to schools and colleges. Henry said the vote was an expression by voters that they wanted to do "something dramatic" for education. "The lottery will do great things for the state," said Katie Warvel, trainer for Scientific Games, Inc., adding that Georgia has gotten enough lottery proceeds to provide free college tuition in that state. Scientific Games is the company awarded the contract to provide both scratch-off and online lottery games. Online games are scheduled to become available on Nov. 10 and Powerball will be available on Jan. 14. "Oklahoma is unique because the Oklahoma Lottery

2001 resolution was defeated in committee and the 2002 measure was approved only to die on the Senate calendar. The idea did not really take hold until Henry championed the lottery in his successful race for governor, when he upset Republican Steve Largent, a lottery foe, in November 2002. The Democratic governor is hoping the lottery will produce $150 million for schools in its first full year and about $65 million during the current fiscal year, which ends next June 30. "Whatever it is, frankly, it's important to remember that that's significant new revenue for education," Henry said. There are doubters, however. Some House members say lottery proceeds will never reach projections and U.S. Rep. Ernest Istook, who is running for governor, says the state cannot gamble its way to prosperity. Supporters say the lottery will keep Oklahoma dollars from flowing to surrounding states such as Texas, Kansas

by The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY-Years in the making, Gov. Brad Henry's Oklahoma Lottery officially kicks off Wednesday with the sale of scratch-off tickets at more than 1,200 locations across the state. "It's pretty exciting," said Scroggins, executive director of the lottery. "There have been days when you thought _ wow, how are we going to get this done _ but it's been a lot of fun." Scroggins headed the Missouri lottery for 13 years before coming to Oklahoma and also had been executive director of the Pennsylvania lottery. He said it is the first time he has been involved in building a lottery from the ground up. For Henry, the kickoff represents another milestone after a long political fight to make the lottery a reality. As a state senator, Henry introduced lottery resolutions dedicating revenues to education in 2001 and 2002. The

Commission has asked us to do the lottery startup in 41 days," said Liz Woronjecki, director of technical documentation and training for Scientific Games. "There has never been a startup to happen that quickly in the country." Warvel said Oklahoma retailers have been up to the task during training sessions. "They are excited and go above and beyond the call of duty. They work so hard, the current joke is: We've scheduled bathroom breaks for December." Vendors will receive 6 percent of ticket sales, plus three quarters of a percent of winning lottery tickets they cash. Scratch-off, or instant tickets, will be on sale mostly at convenience stores next week. The maximum prizes will be small, compared with the multimillion jackpots possible in January when the state joins the Powerball system. The fact that four-fifths of the country has the lottery is a testament to the lottery's popularity, officials say.

"The whole dream portion of it," is one reason for the public's fascination with the lottery, Scroggins said. Looking toward the Powerball, he said: "We tell people the odds are the same if you buy one or buy a hundred tickets, so play with your head and not your heart." Actually, the odds are 1 in 146.1 million of winning the big Powerball prize, but there are nine other ways to win, reducing the overall odds for winning a cash prize to 1 in 36.60, officials said. Four instant tickets _ "Lucky 7 's,""Rush to Cash,""Oklahom a Gusher" and "25,000 Jackpot" were displayed last week by lottery officials and the governor. It will cost between $1 and $5 to play. The chances of winning in the scratch-off games that go on sale this week will be a little more than one in five, Scroggins said. Prizes on the instant tickets will range from $1 to $25,000. The maximum prize for the $1 ticket, "Lucky 7's," is $777.

UCO history professor speaks, signs book by Lauren Hyer Vista Staff Writer

A UCO assistant professor of history recently published a book on three prominent women writers of Western American History. Dr. Patricia Loughlin's book, "Hidden Treasures of the American West: Muriel H. Wright, Angie Debo, and Alice Marriott," was released the week of Sept. 26. In her book, Loughlin examines the lives and texts of the writers and explains how each woman was instrumental in shaping western history. Loughlin said many scholars from the American West have been overlooked and Women's stories have often been overshadowed by more traditional male stories. She said Wright, Debo and Marriott struggled in their literary careers not only because they were women, but also because the topics they wrote about, like American Indian history, were not popular at the time. Loughlin said the idea for the book came when she was studying at Pepperdine University. One of her professors, Dr.

to educate a new generation on the value of their texts. This is the perfect time to release this book, since the state is gearing up for its Centennial in 2007, and another component of the celebration is women's studies, Loughlin said. "When I started reading the book I thought I would just read the preface so I could have something cogent to say at the book signing," said Dr. Pamela Washington, dean of the College of Liberal Arts. "I began reading the book at nine at night and didn't put it down until one in the morning. I became absolutely engaged in these women's studies." The Department of History and Geography sponsored a book signing and reception at 3 p.m. Oct. 5 in the Liberal Arts Reception Room. Loughlin is working on another book with Dr. Kenney Brown, professor of history and geography, due to come out in 2006 about the history of UCO. She said in this book students were given the chance to interview former presidents, faculty and alumni of UCO.

David Baird, who graduated from Central State College in 1961 and is now Dean of Seaver College at Pepperdine University, told her Oklahoma would be a great place to study history, and an excellent place to study the American West, since it was somewhat of an untapped source. She said studying the wornen's lives and the books they wrote helps in understanding Oklahoma history. Loughlin said the book is an outgrowth of her dissertation, which she prepared at Oklahoma State University. "It's about new settlers, the joining of Oklahoma history and Native American history all wrapped up in women's stories," Loughlin said. Another reason Loughlin said she wrote this book was because of the high interest level she received from her students. "I tell these stories in my classes," Loughlin said. "I get positive feedback from my students and they always want to know more." She said the book received its title "Hidden Treasures" because she is reclaiming hidden stories and profiling women

Stylized, senseless, sleazy 'Domino' simply stinks by Nathan Winfrey

Vista Staff Writer

Tony Scott, director of "Top Gun" and "Man on Fire," serves up his latest movie, "Domino," a feverishly paced, mind-numbing sleaze-feast Oct. 14. This movie makes no sense. The story contradicts itself. Inexplicable characters enter, offer strange predictions about the future, and then exit. Unrealistic plot twists produce grumbles, confused looks and headaches. I'm not sure how someone can take the true story of Hollywood heiress-turnedmodel-turned-bounty hunter Domino Harvey, with budding superstar Keira Knightley in the lead, and mess it up this much. The formula seemed infallible. Shunning her debutante lifestyle for a career in violence, and trading in her sorority letters for nunchakus, strongwilled Domino (Knightly) falls in with some unsavory professional man-hunters. Her new family, Ed (Mickey Rourke, who maintains enough of his "Sin City" Mary charm to make his character likeable)

and Choco (Edgar Ramirez, "El Nudo"), forms a less attractive (except for Knightley), R-rated mirror of "Charlie's Angels," with bail bondsman Claremont Williams (Delroy Lindo, "The Last Castle") as their "Charlie." Together, the trio track down and pick up criminals that skip out on bail. Edited like a movie trailer with the coherence of a jackrabbit on mescaline, "Domino" has enough fast and slow motion, flashy camera effects and rewinds to nauseate the most seasoned roller coaster enthusiast. I didn't know whether I was watching a two-hour music video, Communist desensitization propaganda or one of David Fincher's nightmares. The movie would have been fine, or at least better, if it weren't for the excessive visual trickery and computerized echoes of every other line the characters speak. I don't think we need to see subtitles on the screen displaying obvious things like "Bored," which is exactly what I was thirty minutes into this film. With more quirky characters than a Guy Ritchie crime flick and less plausible plot develop-

ment than a Red Bull commercial, Scott makes this debacle even more confusing by showing us a scene, then ten minutes later Domino says something like "Just kidding" and then it goes back and starts over from an alternate tangent. Confused

Domino Harvey (Keira Knightley) keeps her arsenal of hunting knives and nunchakus close by in case a bounty should suddenly appear while she's doing crunches.

yet? For a movie obviously aimed at teenagers with Attention Deficit Disorder and a fascination with boobies, he sure makes it hard to follow what's going on. The motley supporting cast reads like the Teen Choice Awards guest list: Christopher Walken, Mena Suvari ("American Pie"), singer Macy Gray, Lucy Liu, Mo'Nique Imes-Jackson ("Soul Plane"), Jerry Springer and "Beverly Hills 90210" stars Brian Austin Green and Stanley Kamel as themselves. I was disappointed in Knightley for taking her top off, though I doubt it will draw many complaints. It's not flattering and is just as grimy as everything else in this movie. I always pictured her as more classy than that, but "classy" is the last word that her character or anything else about

Tried and true, Bronze and Blue...

"Domino" brings to mind. Perhaps that is to Knightley's credit, as her sultry bounty hunter is light years away from the proper damsel in distress Elizabeth Swann in "Pirates of the Caribbean," refined Elizabeth Bennet in the upcoming "Pride and Prejudice" remake or even her role as the Valkyrie-infused version of Guinevere in "King Arthur." It's good to avoid typecasting when building an acting career, but there's a difference between playing a filthy character and rolling around in it. It's too bad the real Domino Harvey, who died of a drug overdose in June, couldn't have a more tasteful memorial than this. It is imaginative, at times funny and mostly entertaining in about the same way as watching a monk set himself on fire, though the bad dialogue and the cheesy style that supersaturates every frame may cause intermittent winces of pain. Two hours of it is too much, though. It quickly becomes overbearing, shameful and disgusting.

Flu Shots Available at the Student Health Center How do flu vaccines work? Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body, and these antibodies provide protection against influenza virus infection.

Why should people get vaccinated against the flu? Influenza is a serious disease, and people of any age can get it. In an average year, the flu causes 36,000 deaths and more than 200,000 hospitalizations in the United States. The "flu season" in the United States is usually from November through April each year. During this time, flu viruses are circulating in the population. An annual flu vaccine is the best way to reduce the chances that you will get the flu.

When should I get a flu vaccination? The best time to get vaccinated is from October through November. Flu activity in the United States generally peaks between late December and early March.
