Design students will turn school gym into library Project requires students to do work for non-profit organizations; new look to come from children's book idea

by Courtney Bryce Vista Staff. Writer UCO's Charles Evans Studio is designing a library in Westwood Elementary School in Oklahoma City for their semester project.

Laci Lackey, director of interior design, said the studio is made up of four students.

They're picked by the faculty and it's for them to get experience," Lackey said. "All the work we do is for non-profit organizations or organizations that can't pay."

UCO Golf Management program works toward PGA accreditation

by Lauren Hyer Vista Staff Writer The UCO College of Business Administration submitted a proposal seeking accreditation for the Professional Golf Management degree program to the Professional Golf Association Sept. 30.

Bob Phelps, PGM internship coordinator, said the process to become accredited by the PGA takes about six to nine months and the goal is to become accredited by fall 2006.

Phelps said ifthe PGA accredits the program it would benefit students by earning them instant credibility in the industry, which would open up more doors in their career opportunities. He said many jobs in the golf industry require PGA membership, which can only be obtained by a self-study course or gaining a degree from an accredited program.

Phelps said another advantage to having the PGA program at UCO is there are only 17 other universities that have acquired accreditation. He said the two closest universities that have earned approval from the PGA are Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas and the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Neb. The PGM currently has 10 students enrolled. Phelps said many students interested in joining the program are not

Elementary librarian, said a new principal came to the school last year and made reading the main focus for the students.

"The majority of the kids in our school are probably two grade levels behind as far as reading goes," Futrell said.

"It's because they come from a different culture and their parents speak Spanish." ' Futrell said about 85 percent of the student population is Hispanic. She said this is the first year the school has been off the "at-risk list," which is based on reading levels, in four years.

Futrell said the room the UCO students will design was actually an old gym. She said the new principal made the decision to use the gym, located in the center of the building, as a library.

"Reading is our focus and we're so far behind," Futrell said. "So, it needs to be in the center of our school."

Futrell said she and the principal decided to design the library to make a fun and encouraging atmosphere to get students to read.

"I watch all those design shows on television and I knew

we were going to change," Futrell said. "I knew we were going to need professional help."

Futrell said she studied design at Oklahoma State University and her first thought was to call their students.

"I thought it would be good for students to reach out to other students," she said.

Futrell said she decided to call UCO first because it was closer.

"I thought if they (UCO) said no, I'd call OSU. But they said yes," she said.

Lisa Smallwood, student

organizer of the group, said construction on the library hasn't started yet and they're still working on designs.

"The librarian had a book called "House of Wisdom" that she wanted us to base the design off of," Smallwood said.

Futrell said the children's book is about a boy in Baghdad who doesn't like to read. The boy's father, also a librarian, sends him on a mission to travel around the world looking for books for the library. After finding all the different books

Senate gives thumbs down to extended university weekend hours resolution Measure would have kept library, labs and food court open later

by Trisha Evans Vista Senior Staff Writer

A resolution, suggesting the university extend weekend hours for the library, computer Please see DESIGN, page 3 labs and food centers, failed in the UCOSA senate Oct. 11, after much debate.

Barrett Dye, senate president pro tempore, and House Representative Scott Jaggers wrote the resolution which is concerned with UCO being a more residential oriented campus.

"The University of Central Oklahoma has been moving from a commuter university to a more residential university for a number of years," the resolution stated.

It also stated that students leave campus on the weekends because of a "lack of resources available for them."

Jason Hines, senator for the President's Leadership Council, asked Dye and Jaggers if students leave for the weekend because of the limited services or vice versa.

Dye said extended service hours would benefit students who live on and off campus. He said the 2,000 students who live on campus are using the services along with many other cornmuter students.

"It's a resolution," Dye said.

"It doesn't necessarily do anything but say we have a problem."

This sounds easy but we are still years away from vehicles that run on a clean renewable source. Several automakers have responded with fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles but they are often in short supply and shunned by many for their lack of performance.

As for the polar ice caps, it doesn't appear to just be a 'pet project, or "cause of the week."

Instead it is very real that the ice caps receded more this summer than in recorded history.

The cause seems to be humans in the form of factory smoke stacks and cars.

Check your smoke detectors as cold weather moves in

A

utumn has made its presence felt lately with gray skies and blustery winds, and reaching for the thermostat seems inevitable despite record gas prices.

Before you do, however, consider that house fires are the fifth leading cause of preventable death in America, most of which occur between October

and December. This year has been predicted to be especially problematic due to the use of alternative heat sources like space heaters, kerosene, and fireplaces in addition to problems associated with conventional heating systems.

October 9-15 is National Fire Prevention Week, a federal awareness program to remind consumers about hazards before

winter weather stipulates the daily use of heating devices.

Less obvious household risks such as cracked extension cords and overloaded electrical outlets pair with everyday items like hairdryers and irons as year-around sources of unexpected fires. The theme of this year's campaign is "Use Candles with Care," a topic that reflects the decorative trend of using scented candles as a normal part of decor and aroma therapy to which some 18,000 fires have been attributed in the past year.

Children tend to sustain more injuries in house fires than their parents, the primary cause of avertable death among ages 15 and younger. Smoke inhalation and exposure to poisonous gases pose serious and often

fatal consequences that has been linked to cancer later in life due to the retention of carcinogens.

Disabled individuals and the elderly are also less likely to survive a fire due to lack of mobility and less frequent early detection of a blaze.

Make it a priority this week to replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and press the "test alarm" button, particularly in bedrooms and on floors opposite of where you sleep. Also check the flue of your fireplace and choose a chimney sweep from the Yellow Pages to clean off accumulated soot. Inspect your furnace and stove for any rusted or cracked parts. Use extra caution with space heaters by keeping all cloth and chemicals away from them, and only use portable devices in a wellventilated room because of their toxic gas outputs.

Child trapped for days after earthquake rescued in Pakistan MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan—Rescuers using search dogs, listening devices and breath-detecting machines discovered a dazed 5-year-old buried in the rubble of her family's house Wednesday, a shot of good news as hopes faded of finding other survivors four days after South Asia's earthquake. "I want to drink," Zarabe Shah whispered, her cropped hair caked with dust. An elderly man fed her tiny sips of water from a blue plastic bottle cap.

Natural gas users to bear brunt of higher heating costs this winter WASHINGTON—Winter heating bills will be a third to a half higher for most families across the country, with the sharpest increases expected for those who heat with natural gas, the Energy Department forecast Wednesday. The department said natural gas users can expect to pay an average of $350 more during the upcoming winter compared to last year, an increase of 48 percent.

Those who heat their homes with fuel oil will pay $378 more, or 32 percent higher than last winter.

Religion toted as priority for high court nominee by Bush WASHINGTON—President Bush said Wednesday his advisers were telling conservatives about Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers' religious beliefs because they are interested in her background and "part of Harriet Miers' life is her religion." "People are interested to know why I picked Harriet Miers," Bush told reporters at the White House. "They want to know Harriet Miers' background. They want to know as much as they possibly can before they form opinions. And part of Harriet Miers' life is her religion."

Last minute amendments made to Iraqi constitution as compromise BAGHDAD, Iraq—Parliament on Wednesday approved a set of last-minute amendments to Iraq's draft constitution, sealing a compromise aimed at gaining Sunni support in this weekend's crucial referendum, the parliament speaker said.

The deal _ which greatly increases the chances the constitution will be passed in Saturday's vote came as insurgents pressed their campaign to wreck the referendum.

the boy likes reading.

Futrell said she liked the book because the father's mission for the boy was a lot like the school's mission for the students. She said she also liked the bold colors in the book including bright blues and ptu-ples.

Futrell said the library at Westwood will be called "House of Wisdom."

"What the design students have done is taken lattice and arches from Persian culture combined with Mexican culture," Futrell said.

Smallwood said one thing they're doing is building a loft.

"More advanced books will be in the loft," Smallwood said.

"It's an incentive to get students to read more."

Futrell said not all students will be allowed in the loft.

"The idea is you have to obtain reading loft. They have to achieve grade level reading," Futrell said. "It's a goal setting thing."

Smallwood said the school is also pushing to eventually open the library to the entire cornmunity.

"They really want to get parents involved and eventually become a community center," Smallwood said.

Futrell said the design students will give her a list of needed materials for the project and then she will look for donations.

"No funding is coming from the school district," Futrell said.

"We have to get it somewhere else."

Futrell said construction will begin as soon as their school district's board of education approves the project.

"Personally, it's been a tremendous experience learning how to work with the community," Smallwood said. "For me, it's going to be such a joy to see the student's faces."

Lackey said the project is aimed at getting the design students to work together.

"Part of the process of interior design is working in a group," Lackey said. "Not only are they learning to work with clients, but also to work under a project manager. It's a team based profession."

At Oct. 11 kickoff ceremony at the capitol, Governor Henry gives first lotto tickets to state teacher of the year who cites games as one step toward improving education

by The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY—Win or lose, Oklahomans proved eager Wednesday to take their chances on the new state lottery.

Two hours after tickets went on sale at 5 a.m., one Tulsa convenience store had already sold nearly 400. The state's first winner was validated at 5:07 a.m. at an Oklahoma City Conoco, state lottery officials said.

Jo Barnes and Pam Heape, emergency dispatchers on the graveyard shift in Tulsa, bought the first, tickets at a downtown QuikTrip on their "lunch" break. They started scratching the tickets at the counter.

"No good," Barnes sighed over her losing Lucky 7's ticket. "No good either," she said, glancing at Heape's ticket.

Like other lottery players Wednesday morning, Barnes had been eager to see Oklahoma join 40 other states that offer lotteries. Four different scratchoff tickets went on sale at about 1,200 businesses across the state.

Online lottery sales are planned for November and the

Famed Watergate journalist visits OU for speaking engagement

by The Associated Press NORMAN, Okla.—Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Bob Woodward, whose investigative reporting on the Watergate scandal led to the resignation of a president, discussed his craft and the evolution of the media during a speech at the University of Oklahoma.

Woodward, Carl Bernstein and fellow journalists at the Washington Post uncovered the Watergate scandal with the help of an unnamed source they called "Deep Throat," who identified himself just this year as W. Mark Felt of the FBI. Woodward recalled looking into Nixon's administration when he was a young reporter in the 1970s and meeting with Washington Post Publisher Katharine Graham over lunch to discuss his and Bernstein's stories.

When she asked when they thought they would learn the truth about Watergate, Woodward thought of all the secrets confined to pockets of administration officials and of the fear of government employees.

He told Graham, "Never."

P

state is scheduled to join the national Powerball system in January.

Gov. Brad Henry led the long political fight to create the statewide game as a way to raise money for public schools. Voters overwhelmingly approved the establishment of the lottery last fall, despite strong opposition from church groups in this Bible Belt state.

All the states that surround Oklahoma except Arkansas have a lottery.

Jim Scroggins, executive director of the Oklahoma Lottery Commission, said scratch-off tickets worth $21 million had been distributed to retail outlets. The tickets come in denominations of $1, $2 and $5. The maximum prize for the $1 ticket, "Lucky 7's," is $777.

The two $2 games _ "Rush to Cash" and "Oklahoma Gusher" feature maximum prizes of $5,000. The $5 game _ "25,000 Jackpot" _ has a top prize of $25,000.

There were some glitches Wednesday, at least at the store where Barnes bought her ticket.

"Never?" she asked. "Don't tell me never," letting them know that they should use all available resources to find the answers.

Despite the fame he achieved through the Watergate investigation and as the author of 13 nonfiction books, Woodward said reporting requires hard work, long hours and a meticulous attention to detail.

"It was hard," he said of the Watergate investigation. "You'd find a little piece of the puzzle here and a little piece there. But it was a system that worked."

In a pre-dinner questionand-answer session with almost 700 students at Catlett Music Center, Woodward said journalism today has changed greatly since the Watergate years because of the demand created by the Internet and cable television for constant information.

"There wasn't that hydraulic press which exists in news systems now. Editors weren't saying, 'Can we get it on the Web site by noon?"'

He said today much of what passes for news is really just information.

The lawsuit, filed in 2002, alleged that customers were overbilled because of incorrect readings by the electronic tollcollection system.

charge ofthe bureau's Oklahoma office, about Joel H. Hinrichs III, an engineering student who died Oct. 1 when his bomb went off about 100 yards from the football stadium during the second quarter of OU's night game against Kansas State. The student was sitting on a campus bench.

University and FBI officials have said previously there was no known link between Hinrichs and terrorists, but Cole, whose

district includes Norman, sought the meeting with Hernandez as rumors about the case have persisted.

Officials later removed more explosive materials from Hinrichs' apartment, which is near a mosque. The FBI questioned his Pakistani roommate.

Hinrichs, 21, was from Colorado Springs, Colo. He had a reputation as a loner and had struggled at times with his grades.

Henry's support for creating a lottery began when he was a state senator. He ran successfully for governor in 2002 on a program that included a lottery tied to education funding.

After his election, he overcame resistance from Republican conservatives, who now control the Oklahoma House, and won approval of a pair of lottery referendums.

Despite opposition from Baptists and other churches, a referendum setting up the lottery and dedicating profits to schools and colleges received 64 percent of the vote in last November's general election.

The kickoff of the lottery was officially approved earlier Tuesday by the commission.

The panel also reversed itself Tuesday and decided to prohibit pawnshops, payday loan companies and check-cashing stores from selling lottery tickets. Henry and several lawmakers said financially strapped Oklahomans could be taken advantage of if sales were allowed by those retailers.

Education will get 30 percent of net lottery sales the first year and 35 percent after that.

The rest of the money will go to prizes and toward the cost of operating the lottery. A constitutional "lockbox" approved by voters ensures lottery proceeds will not be used to supplant existing education funding.

"This is a major step toward significantly improving the education system in Oklahoma," said Hilger, a band and orchestra teacher at Belle Isle Enterprise Middle School in Oklahoma City.

"I attended high school in Missouri and saw firsthand how the lottery helped education in that state."

'Earthy' art to be displayed this month in UCO gallery

by Lauren Hyer Vista Staff Writer

Four local female artists will display their works in the "Women Who Eat Leaves" exhibit from Oct. 13 to Nov. 13 in the UCO Donna Nigh Gallery.

The displayed pieces will be very diverse and earthy, using either natural dye and fibers or pictures and sculptures to depict nature and the environment, said Zina Gelona, director of galleries and museums for UCO's College of Arts, Media and Design.

"All the women are vegetarians," Gelona said. "This is a texture and fiber type thing.

Many handmade quilts and huge pieces of fabric dyed with vegetable oil will be displayed."

The four artists, who have either attended or worked at UCO, are Asia, Abi Chodosh, Elia Woods and Connie Seabourn.

Chodosh said the exhibit title came from her daughter, Ursula, who drew a picture of her mother with a large plateful of salad and titled it "Mommy Who Eats Leaves."

Chodosh said the theme of the exhibit is "nurture."

"We are all very careful with nurturing food, babies and friends," Chodosh said. "The art we make nurtures our soul and our spirit. There is a spiritual connection we have with our art."

Chodosh said the work of the different women is very diverse.

She said she is presenting most ly silk, that she has used natural dyes on.

Gelona said Chodosh goes back to the earth theme and there is symbolism in much of her work, as well as a lot of compare and contrast.

Gelona said Woods is a fiber artist who's works have been shown all over the country.

Woods said she will present a series of photo quilts created from photo-heat transfer.

"My inspiration comes front the natural world, every time I walk outside I see limitless pos. sibilities," she said. "I use many pictures from my garden. My, work is all about food from the earth, planting it and watching it grow."

Gelona said Asia will display abstract and expressionistic ani4 mal forms using metal.

Asia's three-dimension, al wire animals are currently at the Pickard Art Gallery irk Oklahoma City.

Seabourn said she has select ed pieces for this exhibit that contain some of her favorite themes from both life and art including, the cycle of life, religious imagery and the female association with nurturing and healing.

Chodosh said together the four artists represent over 100 woman-years lived in the veg; etarian lifestyle.

In Her Shoes' showcases ensemble cast, tight script

by Nathan Winfrey Vista Staff . 1 'niter

Director Curtis Hanson ("L. A. Confidential"), whose last movie was the Eminem star vehicle "8 Mile," helms "In Her Shoes," another character-driven film with a stellar ensemble cast.

Cameron Diaz ("There's Something About Mary") stars as Maggie, the lazy, irresponsible younger sister of straightlaced lawyer Rose (Toni Collette, "The Sixth Sense").

Beautiful Maggie is brainless, homeless and jobless and relies on her looks to get through life

and score free drinks, while boring Rose toils from sunup to sundown at the office. The two are inseparable yet spiteful when Maggie moves in with Rose and begins to upset every facet of her perfectlyordered life. When Maggie pulls the last straw, Rose sends her packing and she winds up in Florida with their grandmother Ella (Shirley MacLaine, "Bewitched"), whose existence had been kept a secret by their bitter father. Now separated, the sisters explore their lives and seek happiness and fulfillment as individuals.

Harnessing multigenerational star power with Diaz, Collette and MacLaine, combined with

a solid supporting cast, "In Her Shoes" transcends the "chick flick" subgenre and its negative connotations to deliver a genuinely exceptional movie.

Funny and endearing, each character is given specific attention by screenwriter Susannah Grant ("Erin Brockovich"), who adapts the Jennifer Weiner novel of the same name. The plot is nothing groundbreaking, and neither is anything else, but any movie that can enchant an audience for a full two hours and ten minutes is a rare oasis in today's Hollywood landscape.

Never boring or lagging, "In Her Shoes" shatters low expectations built by an unfortunate title and genre, and proves that

UCO biology studeqt gets started early on research goals Campus profile: UCO biology student Vagan Mushegyan

by Nathan Winfrey Vista Staff Writer Vagan Mushegyan, biology sophomore, sat at a quiet corner in Starbucks on a break from his research at a wooden table with a built-in chessboard. His dark wavy hair was tied in a pony tail and piled under an old-fashioned dark green Harvard cap.

"If there was any song that would describe me, it would be 'Sorrow' by Pink Floyd," Mushegyan said with a faint Russian accent.

He was born in Yerevan, Armenia, once part of the former Soviet Union and one of the oldest cities in the world.

He said it just celebrated its approximately 2,750th birthday Oct. 8. "(It's) older than Rome by 50 years," Mushegyan said.

He moved to Moscow in with his family in 1991, when he was six, so his father could get a PhD in thermonuclear engineering. He said getting a PhD is different in Russia than in America. "There, you actually work, and as you research, you get your PhD," Mushegyan said.

His mother has an advanced master's in linguistics from the University of Yerevan, with a focus on 19th Century Russian Literature. He credits her as partly responsible for his placement in school #1205, "the best school in Moscow for foreign languages."

He learned Armenian and Russian at an early age then began learning English in the, first grade and French in fourth grade.

UCO boxer to fight Oklahoma champ in Dublin, Ireland Fight will be first on card full of title bouts

by Matt Cauthron Vista Sports Editor

UCO student and welterweight boxer Richie Scifo will travel to Dublin, Ireland Oct. 14 to face Oklahoma Lightweight Champion and Dublin native Oison Fagan in a six-round welterweight bout.

It's a fight Scifo, dubbed the "Italian Prince," has been trying to make happen for over a year.

"I've been trying to fight this guy forever," Scifo said. "If this fight goes well I might be able to get a title shot."

The fight will be held at National Stadium in Dublin.

The card will feature the IBC middleweight and super bantamweight championship fights.

In the super-bantamweight championship bout, Bernard Dunne will face Sean Hughes.

Jim Rock will meet Alan Jones for the middleweight title.

Scifo said he likes his chances, but that he'll have to be at his best to take down Fagan.

"I think I'll do extremely well," Scifo said. "I had my last sparring session Saturday and I knocked my guy down with a body shot. And that's something I'll have to do in this fight: I'll have to knock him down if I hope to win. He's a hometown

boy, so if it comes down to a decision, I like his chances."

Scifo and Fagan used to train at the same gym, and Scifo said the two were friends. But in the interest of pushing Fagan's buttons, Scifo said he has repeatedly claimed Fagan is afraid to fight him.

It seems the mind games have worked, as Scifo will finally get his shot at the state champion.

Not only that, he'll do it on a fight card featuring some of the best fighters in Europe.

"We were able to get on a big card," Scifo said. "There will be two Irish title fights, which is why it'll be televised. We were really fortunate to slip in as the first fight on this card."

Scifo said if he wins the fight or if it comes down to a close decision, it • will improve his chances of being able to fight Fagan in Oklahoma for the state lightweight title.

Either way, Scifo won't forget to give a nod to his hometown and his school.

"I'll be wearing a UCO patch on my shorts," Scifo said. "I'm going to represent."

Scifo said the fight is set to be televised at 3 p.m Oct. 14 on the European Sports Network, but only satellite subscribers in Oklahoma will be able to get the fight.

Broncho golfers win second straight tourney

by Matt Cauthron Vista Sports Editor The UCO men's golf team won its second straight tournament of the fall season Oct. 10 at the Rattler Invitational in San Antonio, Texas.

The tournament was scheduled to last three rounds, but the final round was rained out and the Bronchos' five shot lead after two rounds was enough for a tournament championship.

"We knew there was bad weather coming in," Head Coach Dax Johnston said. "I told them they needed to have a lead coming out of day one, and they went out and got it."

Leading the Bronchos was true freshman Austin Bowman of Pryor, Okla. Bowman shot a second-round 67, which included seven birdies, and finished the tournament in third place.

"I can't say enough about Austin Bowman," Johnston said. "You just

season, you might win, two or three tournaments. So nine of 13 is just amazing. We're just going to try to ride this momentum we've got going for as long as we can."

Johnston said the Bronchos' run of success is even more amazing since sophomore Mitch Boles is ineligible until spring. Boles was the first golfer in UCO history to qualify for the United States Amateur Championship.

"As well as Hutson played in individual competition, with our top five playing so well and Mitch coming back in the spring, we're going to have a tough time deciding which five guys to put out there," Johnston said.

The Bronchos travel to Lawton, Okla. Oct. 24-25 for the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Tournament during which they'll try for their third straight championship of the fall season.
