Forensics program receives $500K ■ The Department of Justice awarded the Forensic Science Department a federal grant to further the development of the program. by Sarah Skinner Staff Writer
Congressman Ernest J. Istook and UCO President W. Roger Webb announced Oct. 11 that the UCO Forensic Science Department received a $500,000 federal grant for its growing program. The money was awarded by the Department of Justice to further advancements in forensic science education at UCO, and the forensic science department plans to use the grant to buy new equipment and to remodel the existing laboratories.
"It's going to help out with our equipment, new state-of-the-art equipment," said Arnie Hacker, senior forensic science major and vice president of the forensic science club. "It's going to enhance it and develop it further so we can get the actual equipment they use in the lab. Some of our stuff is really dated." The Oklahoma State Bureau of Education is working with UCO to use the grant to create cutting-edge laboratories. OSBI is building a $20 million facility across the street from the forensic science labs so that the remodeled labs and new equipment can be used

"Forensic science is vital to fight crime," Istook said. "These funds will build on UCO's success as a leader in training forensic science professionals."

■ Freshman Daviyion Johnson takes the role of college mascot to a new level. by Michael Robertson Staff Writer
UCO freshman Daviyion Johnson is excited about his new job. This summer, as a recent graduate of Southeast High School in Oklahoma City, he was hired to fill the shoes of UCO's team mascot, Buddy Broncho. While working at a summer camp, Johnson was looking for scholarships online, and saw a notice for the mascot job. "Basically, I saw this job, and I just played phone tag until I got it," Johnson said. Daresa Poe, spirit director for Campus Life, created the posting in hopes of finding someone that would improve the cheer teams' chances of par-
in Dallas, and that to go, he would have to leave the next day. "My friends couldn't believe I was in cheer camp," Johnson said. "(But) I enjoyed every minute of it." Johnson found that it would take some practice and training to get ready for his new job. "It's not as easy as I thought it would be," he said. "People always ask if it's hot in the suit, and I'm like, 'yes.' Johnson said that once he has the suit on, he can't take it off, and he can't talk to fans. He also found that it's hard to see kids in his walking path when he has the head on, and he has to be careful. "When kids come up to talk to me, I have to be careful to not step on them or anything,

Two years ago Aaron Sweazy was crowned Mr. UCO and was a returning member on the wrestling team, with no inkling that cancer was lurking in his body. It was only while working in a computer lab on campus that he noticed a problem. "I was typing some stuff and felt a crick in my neck, and I felt a lump and went to the clinic on campus," Sweazy said. "It (the lump) was popping out, but they didn't think it was anything major and they put me on antibiotics." Unfortunately it was much more. Now Sweazy, 24, who was diagnosed with stagefour Hodgkins Lymphoma in April 2003, is living with his parents in Chapman, Kansas, and undergoing weekly chemotherapy treatment. He will return to campus this weekend for what he described as his "Coming Home" for Homecoming.
But Sweazy is not letting his condition drag him down. Instead he does what has to be done to live with cancer and tries to cheer up others also suffering in his small Kansas town. "I try to keep upbeat," he said. "On chemo(therapy) days I dress up in crazy shirts and pretty much go in dressed like a clown." Sweazy said his antics and good cheer help others who are receiving cancer treatments, and his overall appearance is far from what many think of as a cancer patient. "I look so healthy and I'm so optimistic," he said. "People think of cancer patients looking like holocaust people." Sweazy's Web site, www.caringbridge.org/ks/a aronsweazy/, which chronicles his battle with cancer, also features pictures of him posing and smiling with friends and visiting the Wrestling Hall of Fame, which is one Of the places he plans to visit on his way to Homecoming.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the editor: National polls put Bush and Kerry neck and neck, but one wouldn't learn this by reading Tuesday's Vista "On the Issues." The article presented four people favoring Bush vs. one person favoring Kerry. The accompanying poll showed two committed Bush supporters and one mildly committed Kerry supporter. UCO has always seemed conservative to me, but

CARTOON BY ERIC OSBORN
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, After reading the letter written to you by Mr. Danny Peters concerning Student Body President, Lane Perry, I felt as though I needed to send you this letter. I saw President Perry Friday afternoon at the university-wide Student Technology Fee Committee (STFC) meeting. Why was he there? First of all, he cares about this school, obviously more than Mr. Peters! Second, no one from UCOSA had been selected to serve on the STFC, so, to make sure the student body as a whole was represented, that includes you, Mr. Peters, President Perry took some of his own time to come, listen,
inquire, and give his input. That shows true dedication and leadership! I am sad a graduate student does not recognize, acknowledge, or demonstrate these qualities. I also had another President Perry sighting on Tuesday evening. I was waiting in the library for a friend when President Perry walked over to my table and visited for a moment. We exchanged pleasantries and I offered him a seat. He politely declined saying, "I can't stay. I have to go back to the office because there is so much work to get done this week." I told him that I understood and I was available if he needed any help. Then, we said our
farewells. Did I mention this was around 10:00 p.m.? Why was he going back to the UCOSA office at 10:00 p.m., Mr. Peters? He went back there to get things- done on this campus to improve your collegiate experience! I have a comment for the entire student body. Remember these things ...you are UCO! Without you, this place is just a bunch of buildings and people with information they wish to share. You are UCOSA! The leadership of UCOSA works for you! If you like or dislike something about what your leadership is doing, let them know. Get involved in the process. Your leadership does the best they
can to represent and serve you; however, without your input, things take longer, needs go unaddressed, and everyone suffers the consequences. I hope that my fellow classmates take what I have said to heart throughout their lives. Your local state, and federal governments work (or fail to work) for the same reasons. As I said in a previous letter o the editor, you are living in a nation founded on service. If people are unwilling to serve, this country as we know it will cease to exist. Get involved in your school, your communities, and the political process. Make a difference in your own life and
in the lives of others. After all, is that not why we are getting our educations here? Is that not why we have adopted the C's: Character, Civility, and Community? Use your time here to find your talents and about what you are passionate; then, use those things to make a difference in this world and leave it a better place than you found it. Do that, and you will truly be a success. Stephanie Louise Bender Senior, Special Education UCOSA House of Representatives
CORRECTION In the Oct. 12 issue of The Vista, it was mistakenly printed that the Office of Academic Affairs won first place for homecoming decorations. The Office of Academic Advisement Center was first place winner in the contest.
THE BODY POLITICK
The truth lies somewhere in between There is a liberal bias in the media. Sitting in conference rooms right now, left wing planners are trying their best to influence and skew the press and the election. But in another room somewhere- there are conservative brainstorming sessions to do the exact same thing. Earned media coverage. It's better than advertising. It can blend in seamlessly with news, and is a cornerstone of any good public relations campaign. You know that's all politics is... right? Sen. Kerry doesn't care about your issues, and neither does President Bush. They care about getting elected. If you believe for a second that either of them is actually concerned with you or your family you can consider yourself a check mark on a campaign managers clipboard. The candidates know every-
JOSEPH WERTZ COLUMNIST thing about you. They know where you work, go to church, the television you watch, the products you buy, if you rent or own a house, how much you earn, how you have voted, might vote, and will vote in future elections. The people that are making decisions for our lives have the same resources at their disposal as the lovely folks that deliver your junk mail. Most people throw junk mail away.
The Kerry and Bush campaigns have the same goal, to appease people that will help get them into office. It is impossible to have a plan that benefits everyone. It is irrational to think that any political system will make things better for all Americans. It has never been done, and never will. You can't simultaneously satisfy lawyers, teachers, moms, billionaires, plumbers, union workers and small business owners. Some people look at America and see how it could be. They envision an idealistic place, where all needs are met and everyone lives free and happy. But the majority of working people want America to benefit their lives and their families, and if that hurts someone else, well... those are the breaks. The difference between news and agenda is blurring, making it hard
to distinguish the two. Is there even a difference anymore? I am afraid we are quickly coming to the day when every press outlet is a mouthpiece for a specific cause. But there is something we can do. We can choose not to believe what we are told, and view everything with a skeptical eye. In this day and age you can't believe the entirety of any given message. They need picked apart. Even reputable names like CNN and The New York Times, are wrought with factual errors and bias. You can't trust the media because it is there job to deliver a message, and someone has the job of feeding them that message. What can you do? Read anything you can about every issue. Ask questions and talk to people. The truth will lie somewhere between the arguments of the opposing sides.
Where do your biases lie? It's what you accept as truth, and what you question. The first thing that strikes you as true is probably your biggest bias. You are being pandered to every minute of. everyday. Companies and candidates have everything to gain. The numbers don't lie. Our most basic of prejudices and feelings are being exploited for a purpose — to sell you a product. Maybe it's a car or a timeshare, but it could be your life. On an unrelated note: Someone has my press pass I dropped it nn the way to an interview. I know what you look like, and have a nice photo of you wearing it. You are not me. And I am not you. Can I have it back? I'll give you a free movie pass.

Bush, Kerry looking for edge in debate SANTA FE, N.M. — President Bush and Sen. John Kerry are likely to reach into their arsenals of statistics to bolster arguments about economic and domestic issues during the final presidential debate Wednesday night. How many jobs have been lost and created, who is covered and who is left uninsured by medical plans, and who will pay more in taxes and who will pay less are key areas of contention between the two campaigns. With viewers expected to number in the tens of millions, the confrontation will draw the last huge audience they can expect before Election Day.
Supreme court debates juvenile executions WASHINGTON —The Supreme Court is considering whether the United States is out of step with the rest of the world, and with national and global standards of decency, by allowing teenage killers to be put to death. Nineteen states allow capital punishment for 16- and 17-year-olds, and more than 70 juvenile murderers are on death row.
other sporting events, too, to build as much school spirit as he can. He's made experimental appearances at volleyball, tennis and soccer events, though he doesn't know if he will make them a regular thing. "He's always spirited, and he always goes beyond the call of duty," Poe said. Johnson has already been recognized for his school spirit. The UCO Bronze and Blue Committee gave him a Bronze and Blue award, which they give periodically to people or groups that have shown UCO pride and spirit. "We gave it to Daviyion because he's an amazing mascot, and he does a lot of work in the community also,"
Poe said. During games, Buddy Broncho performs with the cheer squad during their routines, but he says that he spends most of the game hanging out with the audience. "It's amazing how when people see a giant horse walking around, it's like they're kids again, and they get excited. I've gotten a lot of good response from people on campus," Johnson said. "I love it. It's really cool." Look for the new Buddy Broncho at the homecoming football game 2:00 p.m. Saturday, Oct 16 at Wantland Stadium.

Idaho school turns down lottery BOISE, Idaho - During these tough budget times, schools don't often pass up a check for $10,000. But that's just what one Idaho charter school has done — to set a moral example for students. The North Star Public Charter School turned down the money because it came from the Idaho State Lottery and school officials decided that taking gambling money would conflict with the school's mission of developing virtuous citizens. "We couldn't in good conscience take the money," said Gale Pooley, co-founder and chairman of the school board. "It's the less fortunate and the poor in the communities who are buying these tickets, and children are the ones who will pay for it." But Chuck Strutt, executive director of the Multistate Lottery Association based in Iowa, said more than 70 percent of the population plays the lottery, not just the poor.

And while Sweazy does not have a set agenda for his weekend stay in Edmond with relatives, he does hope to take in as much of the festivities as his body can handle, since walking or too much activity can leave him winded and tired.

"Saturday I plan on getting up and watching the Homecoming parade." After the weekend visit, Sweazy will return to Kansas and his cancer treatments, which, since he has no insurance, have been a financial strain.

Are you worried about the job market after you graduate?
"Yes, because my field is not that large in this area, but I am hopeful." Lanetta McCall Public relations, senior
"No, I'm not worried for myself"
Enrollment at UCO is at an alltime high but many students worry about if they will find jobs after graduation. President George W. Bush and presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry each say they have the best plan for the national economy. On each candidate's campaign Web site, both say they will create more jobs and beneficial tax cuts, but will either plan help assure future graduates a job in the current Oklahoma economy? According to FactCheck.org, "It is true that the economy has regained 1.9 million jobs since the very bottom of the job slump in August of 2003." But according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that still leaves the Bush administration with a loss of 585,000 jobs. "We do show (economic) growth over the last 20 years," said Dr. Joseph Johnson, department chair of Economics. August 2004 data from the Oklahoma Labor Force showed 64,400 people are unemployed. "Workers are the most important part of the production process," Johnson said. "More important than capital." Home health aides and medical assistants rank at the top of the list for job openings followed by primary and secondary teachers, according to the Oklahoma Labor Market Information.
