Discussion to focus on U.S. foreign policy ■ Panel experts will speak on eight topics relating to the United States' role in the world.

by Michael Robertson Staff Writer

UCO will host a public discussion titled "American. Power and Global Security" from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 12 in Ballroom C of the Nigh University Center. The event, which is designed to stimulate dialogue among the public about U.S foreign policy and our role in the world, is free and open to the public.

Eight topics will be discussed, including sources of American influence abroad, America's diplomatic priorities, foreign perceptions of the United States, the war on terrorism and how Americans should balance international responsibilities while keeping national interests.

Jennifer Geren, of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, said the members of the panel will speak for about an hour, and then questions will be taken from the audience.

Ret. Gen. Dennis J. Reimer said the most important question about U.S foreign policy is the strategy to synchronize our power responsibly in the post-Cold War world.

"The Cold War world was so different than the polarized world we live in today. Since we are such a large superpower, we have additional responsibilities to the world than other countries," Reimer said.

The forum will feature a panel of experts, including: Dr. Don Betz, UCO provost and vice-president for Academic Affairs; Dr.

Part One: War

by Joseph Wertz

The UCO Student Health Center will begin giving flu vaccinations Oct. 25 but will follow the Centers' for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations regarding priority groups for vaccination.

The CDC announced last week that a limited number of influenza vaccinations will be available this fall due to the license suspension of the company that manufactures one half of the United States' expected supply.

Misha Mowdy, of the health center, said the center will follow the CDC's interim recommendations for the week of giving vaccinations.

"We will give them starting on the 25th to the priority group of people according to the CDC's recommendations," Mowdy said.

She said, as of Oct. 11, the health center received 30 percent of its entire order, about 180 shots.

After the first week, the health center will give vaccinations to any student, faculty or staff member not included in the CDC's recommendations.

"I anticipate we will receive some left into the next week, but I'm not promising," Mowdy said.

Students, faculty or staff members who believe they are eligible to receive the

OPINION September 30, 2004

The funding of our education directly correlates with the quality of UCO football!

Quote of the day Laughter is the closest distance between two people. —Victor Borge

Today in History On this day in 1938, the production of "The Wizard of Oz" began. The role of Dorothy was intended for Shirley Temple. Instead, the role went to up-and-corning star Judy Garland.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I would like to remind the students of UCO that there is more to vote for in November than Kerry or Bush. This year's ballot will contain 15 state questions of great importance to this state. Voters need to take the time to research each question and decide for themselves how they wish their lives to be governed. Too many people depend on the minimal infor-

mation regarding state questions that they find on their ballot and in biased TV ads. The Vista would also do well to address the individual questions between now and November.

MOVIE REVIEW

DiG!: An arthouse film worth digging up

by Michael Robertson Staff Writer The new movie DiG! is about friendship, loss, professional rivalry, the conflict between art and commerce, and how the line between success and failure can become blurred, sometimes even erased.

DiG! begins in 1996, charting progress of two up-and-coming bands, "The Dandy Warhols" and "Brian Jonestown Massacre," and the friendship and rivalry of their respective singer/songwriters, Courtney Taylor and Anton Newcombe.

Though they start out at about the same level as far as sound and presentation, it's clear from the beginning that while both musicians are talented, Newcombe is the visionary of the pair.

While Taylor and his group have an accessible sound and the ability to make record company executives like them, Newcombe's music and personality are exponentially more abrasive.

It's not as if record companies and fans don't appreciate the music of the "Brian Jonestown Massacre," but Newcombe seems to deliberately blow every opportunity he has to achieve commercial success. In one scene during a show setup, as an audition for a major music label, Newcombe and the entire band get incredibly drunk and start fights with members of the audience and each other. It ends with Newcombe screaming drunken insults at the executives.

Predictably, they didn't get the record deal.

At the same time, "The Dandy Warhols" are pursuing success. They manage to land a major record deal that goes sour after a $400,000 video shoot and poor record sales. Taylor becomes bitter about his experience with the record company, but the band keeps trying, and they eventually become very popular overseas, playing to huge crowds of up to 100,000. Meanwhile, the "BJM" are living wherever they can, mostly on the road.

At the heart of DiG! is the question: in the pantheon of rock history, who is more important? Is

it the "The Dandy Warhols," who eventually manage to sell a lot of records, get their music into films and commercials and have a bus with couches and a tub of icy beers? Or the "BJM," who live in filth and blow all their money on drugs, but have more influence over critics and other musicians?

In the end, there are no clear answers.

Throughout the film, Newcombe makes it clear that he's more interested in being an agent of rock history than being a commercially successful artist. Taylor makes it clear that while he admires Newcombe's musical ability, he views him and his ilk as jail-bound degenerates. Each seems to envy the other, though neither would admit it.

DiG! isn't playing at any theaters in town, and it isn't clear when it will be released on video, but when it does, go out and rent it. Even if you're not a fan of underground music, the characters and their story contain so much drama and feeling, it's worth the effort.

Vista starts series to inform voters During the next three weeks, The Vista will showcase a series of articles highlighting the issues surrounding the Nov. 2 election. The series is meant to get students politically minded before they cast their ballots in the state and local elections. It serves as a non-partisan approach to making students more aware of the positions of each of the candidates.

The first of the series is on U.S. military involvement in the Middle East. The Vista also encourages students to voice their concerns or thoughts on any of these matters by submitting letters to the editor. Letters can be e-mailed to ucovista@hotmail.com, or by bringing them to The Vista office, Rm. 107 of the Communications Building. Where do you stand on the issues, and why?

HEART OF THE AMERICAN DREAM

Feng shui won't save failing GPAs I was sitting on my patio last week, watching the vice-presidential debates on my patio again through the sliding glass door, listening to Dire Straits, just to see if it was still funny.

It was.

Ever see Dick Cheney sing, "Money for Nothing?"

Somebody should sell that to MTV for god's sake!

Recently I have been experiencing a steady slip in my grades, much like a boulder careens down a cliff. At first I thought it might be because I sit on my patio and play dated 80's music in place of serious political dialogue instead of studying. But that doesn't make sense — it's too easy. And as I

CAMPUS QUOTES

GAVIN D. ELLIOTT COLUMNIST learned in college algebra, the easiest answer is always wrong.

ME: What do you mean, ((xy)(5y765x)+77%) doesn't equal pie (as in apple)?

So I decided to do some research on the Internet to figure out just what I was doing wrong. The Internet is

always full of useful things like, "See what degree Billy Bob Thornton and Jessica Alba got in college," so I knew I'd find my answer there.

On Yahoo! I typed in, "Why are my grades falling like Doom's Day meteors?" and it brought me to all these links about feng shui.

For those of you non-hip organisms, feng shui is the ancient Chinese art of hiring a decorator to order you new furniture so he can arrange it in such a way that is optimal for ch'i to flow through your house unhindered, which, according to Yahoo!, raises your GPA. For those of you who don't know what ch'i is, it's a drink you can buy at

Frankly, I can barely afford gas at $1.77, so it amazes me that anyone has graduated college at all with the prices of feng shui as high as they are. Which is why I'm a Democrat. I think the government should step in and regulate these greed-crazed feng shui corporations before things get out of hand.

So if you're a student whose grades are plummeting like a drunk albatross, abandon all hope. No amount of studying will pull your grades from their depths as long as feng shui remains a luxury for the rich and a dream for the group ranked lowest in the American Caste System - the college student.

I'm going to Starbucks for a nice tall cup of ch'i.

How involved do you plan to be with homecoming activities?

Starbuck's that reminds me of Christmas but looks like the contents of a farmer's spit-cup.

Feng shui is very expensive, but ch'i usually costs about $3.25 for a "tall," which actually means "small."

This has always baffled me.

That's how they get you, though.

They lure you in by tempting you with relatively inexpensive ch'i, then, when you've got ch'i coming out the Yahoo!, they tell you you must feng shui it in order for it to work properly and not clog up your garbage disposal.

I checked the going rate of feng shui on Ebay and the cheapest I found was for $3,225.01. But it still had three days left.

The Office of Academic Affairs won first place for best homecoming decorations Oct. 11. The contest was one of many events planned for Homecoming Week.

HOMECOMING from page 1 coming week are the homecoming parade and the football game against East Central University on Oct. 16.

Marshaling the parade this year is Shannon Miller, former Olympic gymnast. It will begin on the west side of the campus, travel through downtown Edmond and make its way back to UCO. "We are really expecting a big draw, especially from the city of Edmond, because of Shannon Miller," said Nick Gray, public relations chairman for the

Homecoming Committee.

Before the football game starts, many of the alumni associations will host tailgate parties on the west side of Wantland Stadium. At the same time, the College of Business Administration Alumni Cookout will be in the college's courtyard, and the College of Mathematics and Science Alumni Barbeque will be in the Howell Hall atrium.

The football game will begin at 2 p.m. at Wantland Stadium. The crowning of

homecoming king and queen, and the winners of the student body's weeklong "LAFF Olympics" will be part of the halftime entertainment.

J.F. Voss Forensic science, junior

With Election Day approaching, students and faculty are divided in their support of presidential candidates and their policies. Most polarizing is the discussion of the war in Iraq and the debate over who will make the country more secure.

President Bush has called Iraq the new front in the war on terror, emphasizing the need to wage the battle abroad rather than here in the United States.

Linda Smith, assistant director for the Center for Learning and Professional Development at UCO, said she will "definitely" support Bush.

"I feel like good has come from the war. It was the right step to take to combat a war on terrorism, so it wasn't on our own soil," she said.

Presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry has said, "Iraq is diverting our attention from the real war on terror."

Dr. Mike Knight, chair of the Psychology Depaallient, said he is in favor of Kerry's war policies.

"I'm in alignment with Kerry. We didn't have any allies going into the war and it was a miscalculation in judgment. It didn't have anything to do with terrorism," he said.

Then there are those who question the reasons for starting the war in Iraq.

Susan Taylor, a lecturer for the Humanities and Philosophy Department, said, "I think the war was based on personal reasons."

Both Kerry and Bush agreed on the invasion of Iraq, and neither candidate denies that Saddam Hussein was a threat.

According to CNN.com , there have been 1,216 coalition deaths in Iraq to date, and 1,077 of those are American deaths.

"We did the right thing going to Iraq," said Greg Mackey, of Information Technology.

Joshua Hollman, a public adminis-

tration junior, agreed and said he supports Bush — "hands down."

"He is the only candidate who understands the seriousness of terrorist organizations," he said. "If we keep putting our policy on sensitivity to other nations, we basically give up our right of self-defense to a veto on the UN Security Council."

Never accurately being able to determine what would happen if the tables were turned and John Kerry was the current president people have their assumptions.

"If Kerry was president when 9-11 happened, he would have been filing sanctions against Iraq," said Jason Marshall, political science major who is in favor of Bush.

Mitch Elliott, a history major who favors Bush's plan for war, said, "Kerry would like us to believe Bush didn't try foreign policy."

He said President Bush is "not going to let foreign countries dictate policy."

The campus is full of voters who are as split on what candidate they favor as the candidates are on the issue of war.

It is up to those voting on Nov. 2 to decide if this issue will determine their overall decision in choosing a candidate.
