America vote NASA looks for alien life GOLDSTONE, Calif. (AP) — Just what are the odds NASA's 10-year search for alien civilizations will find intelligent life on other planets? "Some believe our chances are good. Others are skeptical. But no one really knows," said Edward C. Stone, director of the space agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. NASA marked Columbus Day on Monday by switching on radio telescopes in California's Mojave Desert and at the Arecibo Obser vatory in Puerto Rico.

Earthquake rocks Egypt CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Aftershocks kept the people of Cairo on edge today while workers dug into scores of ruined buildings looking for more victims from an earthquake that killed at least 398 and injured thousands. Monday's quake caused casualties in half of Egypt's 26 provinces, but most were in the Cairo region, authorities said. The quake, which measured 5.9 on the Richter scale, was centered about 20 miles southwest of the capital.

Flag ruled WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court today refused to strip away the free-speech protections of those who bum or deface the American flag as a political protest. Rejecting without comment an invitation to overturn its previous rulings, the court turned down a bid to revive a Texas ban on flagburning.

Fair, rally to encourage students to register, vote By Lisa Craddock Student Writer

Vote America, a rally sponsored to encourage University of Central Oklahoma students to vote in the upcoming election, will be held at 11 a.m. on Oct. 21, in UCO's Centennial Square. "The fair is to increase the number of voters in the upcoming Nov. 3 election and to help UCO students to become more aware of the power of one vote," said Joacquin Stevens, president of the UCO Student Government Association. Information and registrars will be available to help students either register to vote or switch their party affiliation in time for the presidential election, said Stevens. To register a person must be

at least 18 years old, a U.S. citizen and a resident of Oklahoma. Registration must be completed in person. Students can also participate in a mock presidential election by either voting for President George Bush, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton or Independent Ross Perot. Students can vote between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the fair and should bring UCO identification to vote. SGA will tabulate and then announce the results. Free refreshments will be served to the students at noon. Stevens will then present a speech, "One Vote Can Make a Difference." The fair is sponsored by the UCO SGA, the Black Student Association and the UCO Multicultural Center. For more information, contact Stevens at ext. 3337.

A clear winner? who won the debate? By Roy Howe Staff Writer

Do the presidential debates really matter as to the outcome Nov. 3? Only in the event that a candidate makes a mistake and damages himself, three University of Central Oklahoma professors agreed. "Watching the debates is like watching the bullfights," said John Drew Mason, assistant professor of political science. "People go to see the bull get killed, just as they go to car races to see crashes," he said. "No one crashed," Mason said concerning Sunday's presidential debates, "but by Bush announcing his appointment of Jim Baker, former secretary of state, as his economic czar, that's an indication that his campaign is in disarray," he said.

Political Science professors Louis Furmanski and John George both agree that no damaging mistakes were made in the first debate and that style is dominating the debates rather than substance. "Sometimes the debates are judged on mistakes and nobody made any bad mistakes," George said. "They represented their parties well," said Furmanski. Concerning character, Furmanski and George both declared Perot the more enthusiastic.

"Although at one point he did say some things directed at the issues. I expected Perot to throw in earthy, clever sayings," George said. "That's his style.

Declaring any candidate the victor in Sunday's debate depends on whether you judge them on style or substance Furmanski said. "If you had to pin me down, Perot scored more points," he said. "He came across as the Texas good-ol'-boy. He threw a few jokes in there and made the debate good entertainment," Furmanski said. "Perot came across as the "Perot swayed the most more personal of the three," people," George said, explaining Furmanski said. "He has a that people surveyed before and down-home, folksy style. He after the debate showed an made it clear that he wasn't a increased interest in the politician and that is to his independent candidate. benefit — he isn't one of 'them' "According to those polled, and that seems to explain his Clinton lost one percentage popularity," he said. point, Bush lost four percentage

points and Perot gained nine percentage points. "He (Perot) was the one who gained the most from the debate," George said. In the past, judging the presidential candidates by debate has possibly cost more than one politician his chance for election — both by their knowledge and by mistakes "It probably propelled (John F.) Kennedy into the presidency," Mason said. "Kennedy revealed himself as (Richard) Nixon's equal in knowledge and preparation." "In order for these debates to sway many votes, someone is going to have to screw-up like (Gerald) Ford did in the '76 debates," George said. "Ford made the statement that the Soviet Union wasn't controlling Poland and (Jimmy) Carter jumped on it like a duck on a junebug," he said.

Team players? •Clinton, Perot, Bush playing independently — and for keeps All the world's a stage And all the men and women merely players. —William Shakespeare The three men stood on the basketball court not in polyester blend uniforms ready to score two points. But these men, dressed in conservative navy blue suits and maroon-and-blue striped ties, were defintely ready to start a contest — and win. The scene was the fieldhouse on the Washington University campus in St. Louis, Mo. last Sunday. On a court decorated with 40,000 square feet of red, gray and blue carpet and 20,000 square feet of blue polyester drapes, President George Bush, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton and Billionaire Ross Perot staged a fight. For 90 minutes, the three candidates fought head on rebutting each other every, chance they got. Bush bashed Clinton. Clinton criticized Bush. And Perot just added his Texas-style humor to the event. Bush swore that America is the best it's been for awhile. And that Clinton just wants Americans to "feel" like the nation is in decline. Perot just wanted to talk economics and business. Bush said his outstanding quality was his experience. Clinton said his was his desire for national change. And Perot touted his support of over a million volunteers throught the 50 states. Perot also made clear that "he" has never had the experience of running up a $4 trillion debt. Poor Gov. Clinton. His brother was addicted to drugs. He grew up in a small, poor Arkansas town. And he's fought his way up. Clinton probably told every personal sad story he could remember during the debate. And after it was all over, every broadcaster and newspaper analyst said a different candidate won. "I think Perot definitely came out on top" ... "Clinton by far won that one" ... "Bush proved himself a true veteran" ... The comments ran rampant. All different. So was there a true winner? Tonight is the second of the three games. Who will win two out of three? Or will it be another three-way tie? The game isn't part of the World Series. It's not baseball ... it's a sport of sorts. But does it really have a winner?

C.S. Jennings/Vista

Put those scissors away I would like to lodge a complaint against The Vista, and also challenge you to publish this letter (in its entirety). You challenged us to speak up, voice our opinions, so I did and you printed my letters. I am somewhat grateful for that, but deeply disturbed at how my letters were presented — cut-up, nay, massacred beyond all recognizable purpose. Not just one, but all of them have been gutted of meaning by whomever decided to cut the piece. If you're going to claim to be "the Student Voice," stop censoring my letters and let my voice be my

voice. If you do not plan to present our letters in their entirety, true to the voice of the writer, then don't ask us to contribute and don't say you represent "our" voice. The First Amendment is your bible, so do not lend yourself to the wrong which you condemn so readily. If you continue to cut and censor us we will ignore you and file you back in the ranks of oppressors like Jesse Helms and George Bush.

Editor's note: As our letters policy states, we may, at our discretion, edit any letter received. Most often the reason is because a letter is much longer than space allows. Every attempt is made to preserve the integrity of the letter while making room for other student's voices.

n response to the letter by Jenni Shackelford. The subject: hypocrisy. To put in layman terms, a hypocrite is one who does not practice what they preach. And you through your letter gave us a just definition of exactly what hypocrisy is. You claim these "narrow-minded" people dictate to "those people not like you, your way of life so we must become just like you." But throughout the letter, you not only insult these so-called "narrow-minded people," you also give the impression that your way of life is better, it is the right way, even though you said you try to let your daughter know "that we are not better than anyone else." It seems that everyone that disagrees with you is "narrow/closedminded." That seems like an "open-minded" conclusion. In fact, such great liberals as Jesse

Jackson and Jesse Helms have the same ideas. What you accuse these "narrow/closed-minded" people of, you are guilty of yourself. In addition you called these people homophobes, racists and elitists. You haven't talked to all or even most of these "narrow/ closed-minded" people. One of my best friends is neither a homophobe nor an elitist, yet since he is pro-life, he is considered "narrow-minded." At the end of your "openminded" letter, you attack their stand on abortion, saying that they "make mockeries of yourselves with educated people when you argue against pro-choice." Insinuating that if you are pro-life you are either stupid and/or uneducated. Even though I am pro-choice, I know several people and know of

many people with doctorates, who are considered geniuses in biology, math and all forms of sciences that are pro-life. This is a moral stand, not to do with their education or intelligence. It's not that I disagree with your politics. I disagree with your hypocrisy. Your "pretense of moral superiority" that allows you to tell the "narrow/closed minded" people to form their own state. This is America. People have the freedoms of speech and religion. They can say anything and believe anything they want to. You may not like the way they think. Fine. You may think their stand on abortion is wrong. OK. But don't call them hypocrites when your own letter reeks of hypocrisy. —Travis Clark UCO student

Clinton leads in poll, Time demands Bush stop advertising public know more about his role. Time magazine demanded that Bush's re-election campaign pull back a TV ad that uses one of its covers in accusing Clinton of lying about his draft record. If the campaign refuses to pull the spot, "the next step would be legal action on our part," Time spokesman Peter Costiglio said.

(AP) —Polls taken after Sunday's debate showed Clinton holding his lead and Perot picking up some support. James A. Baker III, the designated economic guru for a second Bush term, plans to step forward this week to promote his boss's "agenda for American renewal" and let the

(AP) — President George Bush renewed his criticism of Clinton for taking part in antiwar demonstrations in the Vietnam era in England when he was at Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar and added that his Democratic rival should "level with people" about his draft status then. Bush was asked if he in turn had any knowledge of the IranContra affair. He said he had repeatedly stated that as vice president he had knowledge of the Iranian arms deal but was unaware of any plan to supply the Contras with the proceeds from that arrangement.

Extreme Releases Third Album M.611•11•01110111111■1•1110

Let's see. How to describe the latest offering from Extreme. Orchestral? Cool? Overblown? Too much music? Just enough? Extreme's tribute to Queen and The Beatles? Their answer to Operation: Mindcrirne or The Wall? All of the above apply in the case of Three Sides to Every Story, the third album by the rockers from Boston and the first since Extreme's breakthrough,

Pornograffitti. When Extreme first hit with the number one single "More Than Words," the popular misconception of the band was that they were acoustic balladeers with an affinity for harmony. But those who bought Porno graffitti knew that Extreme was a hard-hitting rock band with exceptionally intelligent lyrics, even though Bettencourt, who co-produced the second album and produced Three Sides to Every Story, has a tendency to be heavy-handed behind the controls. So now the band is back with Three Sides To Every Story, an ambitious studio project that consists of three sides. Three Sides To Every Story is a conceptual album, the three sides being "Yours,""Mine" and "The Truth." "Yours" is a side of gloom and doom, war and hopelessness. "Peacemaker Die" is an exceptional tune that recounts the efforts of some to achieve peace, only to be shot down. Bettencourt uses the body of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s, "I Have A Dream

Speech" to drive his point home. The second side is "Mine." This side addresses love, or lack thereof, family and the death of God. Hopelessness is the pervading theme here, and the song "God Isn't Dead" typifies the mood of this side. It's on side three, "The Truth," that Bettencourt gets heavy-handed with the arrangements and behind the board. Lyrically, "The Truth" is about the light at the end of the tunnel, with songs of hope for the future. Subtitled "Everything Under The Sun," side three is one song with three parts. Although Bettencourt can't be faulted for lyrics, melodies and Cherone's

Review vocals, because all are exceptional, he can be blamed for trying to put too much music in songs that don't need any extras. Bettencourt overdresses tunes that were already strong-boned. Deep symphonic arrangements and unnecessary sound bites buried in the mix almost obscure the songs. But the problems with arrangement and length are minor. The boys from Boston are a genuine pleasure and bring a new perspective to a musical genre that needed a kick-start. Hard, soft, melodic or anarchic, Three Sides To Every Story is an interesting chapter in the story of Extreme, a band who, especially Bettencourt, can only improve with time and experience.

in understanding death, clarifying the origins of religion. Under Dr. Mock's watchful eye, a student may detect patterns from ancient cave burials through the Mesopotamian, Greek, Roman, Christian, Renaissance and then back to the Greek idealized depictions. In his Contemporary Moral Problems class, Dr. Mock approaches the subject matter objectively and with the help of the media. These are issues exposed to most students daily: abortion and surrogate parenting; economic justice and welfare; discrimination and preferential treatment; the environment. The object is to be well informed so that students make good choices.

Oklahoma is quite a stretch from Syracuse University in New York where Dr. Mock taught for 12 years and racked up a Ph.D. in Philosophy and Fine Arts, Masters of Philosophy and Aesthetics, Masters of Library Science and M.A. in Art History. His choices for employment were not exactly limited. Apparently UCO's humanities and philosophy department wrote a remarkable job description, for that is initially what winked at Dr. Mock from a national trade publication. As he said, "It is what I wanted to do." He must want it very badly indeed to migrate from New York where his wife is a doctor of Philosophy at Ethica College.

That is his strategy for making the General Humanities classes he is teaching this semester more than the pill generally prescribed for all University of Central Oklahoma students to choke down prior to graduation. Because UCO has no publication mandate for professors, Dr. Mock calls the university a more studentcentered place. He said, "One Pulling on his professional can deal at a natural pace, rather pipe, Dr. Mock rocks back and than slighting one's classwork stacks his two-tone penny and quietly saying, 'Oh, the loafers one on the other to feign student.

Spikers split matches, continue improvement By Justin Harper

Sports Editor

Central Oklahoma's volleyball team broke even last week with a win over Wayland Baptist on Friday and a loss to Eastern New Mexico on Saturday. In the Wayland Baptist contest the Lady Bronchos wasted no time in disposing of their hosts, sweeping WBU in three straight games 15-4, 15-12 and 15-13. UCO then traveled from Plainview, Texas to Portales, New Mexico to take on the Zias of ENMU. Against the Zias UCO came storming out of the gate taking the first game of the match by a score of 15-2. ENMU then answered with a win of their own 13-15. The teams swapped wins again in the next two games, UCO winning a hard fought 18-16 game and ENMU winning 15-9. The Lady Bronchos were unable to come up with the win in the last game however and lost the game 10-15 and the match 3-2. Despite the loss the Lady Bronchos continued to show improvement. "I was really pleased with the way we played at Eastern," said head coach Mark Herrin. "We really went out and took it to them in the first game and did a good job of staying in the match the whole way...Eastern's probably the toughest place in the conference to play." Outside hitter Carrie Peters blasted a career-high 24 kills against the Zias to add to the stellar individual performances she and her teammates are putting forth of late. Amy Parten continued her excellent play. In the past nine matches the senior outside hitter has racked-up 135 kills, 16 service aces and an extraordinary attack percentage of .396. Rachel Price just missed breaking Peters' school record 66 assists in a game, putting-up 64 against ENMU. Middle blocker Kristin Vincent inched closer to the career solo blocked shots record, upping her total to 126. With five more blocks Vincent will overtake Heather Devine in that category.

Candidate talks to UCO coeds about issues By Bill Hamilton

Student Writer Laurie Williams, the Democratic candidate for the Fifth Congressional Seat, spoke about a variety of issues facing college students, ranging from jobs after graduation to the national deficit, at a recent meeting of the University of Central Oklahoma Young Democrats Club. "The education of Oklahoma children and the ongoing education of Oklahoma adults is the key to our future. We must assure that our teachers and schools are given the respect and funds commensurate with their formidable tasks," Williams said. Williams said she believes very strongly in public schools, and that parents need to get involved with their child's education. Williams also said she is in favor of vocational education. "Oklahoma is the focal point of the nation because of votechs," she said. When Williams spoke about the deficit she said, "we have to cut back across the board." "A balanced budget is necessary. However, that should be the end result - not the means. I will work diligently toward a reasonable and effective means to balance the budget. This will include, among other things, cutting the fat and moving toward a peacetime economy, mindful that we should always keep a strong defense. It is important to remember that no nation can mount a strong defense unless that nation is strong from within. It is time to put our resources to work within the borders of the United States to strengthen our nation from within." When asked about her stand on women's rights, she said that her first concern is preventive education, and that abstinence should be encouraged. She is concerned with children having children. She said that she is pro-choice and that any decision a woman makes should be between her, her god and her doctor. S A E. B T R E K R L E A D S B R A
