EDITORIAL

Separating Homecoming sheep from goats ntil last year, becoming Homecorning royalty was a breeze. All it took was to be involved in enough clubs on campus (at least three, in addition to a full courseload and outside employment), and enough friends you could blackmail or bribe to cast the deciding ballot. Until last year, that is, before the Homecoming selection committee experienced a brainwave and decided to make it a mite more difficult for nominees to qualify as candidates, so it came up with the interview process. All Homecoming club representatives now have to face a panel of inquisitors and be given the third degree—to separate the sheep from the goats, so to speak. A total of 30 points are allotted for appearance, general knowledge and other criteria. Which is indeed a real coincidence, considering the fact that this timely modification to the selection process was introduced after the Malaysian Student Association (MSA) won the Homecoming Queen title twice in a row, in both 1992 and 1993. Now MSA nominees for the crown can't even make it past the door. Perhaps it's because their grasp of the English language is not tenacious enough. After all, how can they possibly hold their own against Americans born, bred and baptized in their native * language? Does this smack of covert discrimination? Or is it a wellexecuted effort to handpick royalty who will represent the university as a whole and has a fair idea of the history, policies and goals of the campus? Perhaps it would bode Asians well to stack up the odds in their favor—read more English books, hang around more often with the Yankees, brush up on general knowledge and find out about what makes this university tick. And if all else fails, do what the Afro Americans did—break away and establish the Miss UCO Asian Pageant.

Force on attackers can be harmful

s a three-year rape survivor, I take issue with Rhonda Dyer and the notion that a victim of a violent crime should defend themselves with force to repel an assailant. I think it should be understood that sometimes force used against the attacker is more of a detriment to an already volatile situation. Unfortunately, in our society, violent crime is becoming even more violent and

to imply that attacking your assailant not only gives you a better chance for survival, but is your duty is irresponsible. Without going into details, I will say with certainty that I would not be alive today if I tried to attack the man that raped me. There is a paralyzing fear that can overcome a person faced with a life or death situation. Often, the victim can barely breathe, let alone grab a powder

compact, as Dyer suggests, to attack back. I do agree with Rhonda Dyer, however, that self defense classes are very important, especially for women. I also believe that if you are attacked, you should do what feels right to you. There should be no stigma either way. —Paulette Barnes-Schell UCO student

Student defends ROTC military exercise am writing in reference to Harriet Cederholm's article concerning the training of ROTC students on campus. I am extremely offended by the narrow-minded attitude expressed in her article towards the military or ROTC as the case may be. I would like to response to several of her questions. To begin with the question, "What the hell is going on here?" ANSWER—Wake-up, you are on a university campus where many organizations coexist. Many organizations hold functions of learning and training on campus everyday, the ROTC department is no

different. To answer her next question, "Why not exercise in a more appropriate campus location?" ANSWER—Exactly how large do you think our campus grounds are? Not to mention, I'm sure you have noticed all of the surrounding construction. To go even further, I am OUTRAGED by the statement "crazies in military garb just blew our hearts apart." I assume you are referring to the bombing of the federal building. I do not know where you received all of your information, but those who were dressed in the military "garb" as you refer to it, were actual soldiers who were helping

to put many hearts back together again. Those people in the military "garb" are also many of the people who worked countless hours along the sides of rescue workers after the bombing. I advise that before you make such comments you should first check the validity. ROTC students are not about crazies in military "garb," but rather students seeking to further their education in hopes of building a sound future...just like yourself. —Stephanie H. Spybuck UCO student

Homecoming winners reign By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer

Suzy Bussert and Joacquin Stevens were crowned as UCO's new Homecoming King and By Nicki Cormier Queen Oct. 14 during half-time Staff Writer of the football game. Other Homecoming winners I'm thinking of getting myself include the Sigma Tau Gamma a personal fraternity who will add $950 to exercise trainer. You know what I'm talking about, one of those big burly guys that hold down your feet while you do situps. Personal trainers are definitely "in" with the rich and famous. Country singer George Strait has his own personal trainer. I know because the last time he came to town, one of my daughter's friends ran off with him (the trainer, not George Strait). Demi Moore has her own personal trainer. His job is not an easy one. First, he has to listen to Bruce Willis swearing all the time, then he has to work around Demi's schedule. This means getting up at three in the morning and exercising for three hours before she's due on the film set, or before her children wake up for breakfast. Either way, it's rough. One of the best known personal trainers works for Oprah Winfrey. He really earns his money by doing a two-hour exercise session with Oprah as well as a four-mile run twice a day. My personal trainer is going to love me; I'm going to take him to the weight room at the Hamilton Fieldhouse. We're going to work our pecs on the nautilus machines, replacing some of the ripped pads and seats. And if no one is in the women's locker room, I might have him measure the floor for a new carpet. Next, we'll jog over to the Administration Building. My trainer will then flex his muscles while I ask the powers that be when they are going to spend some of the $52 million bond renovating the Hamilton C Inc.. 199* Fieldhouse.

their bank account for their wins this Homecoming weekend: The Sigma Tau Gamma's won first place and $500 in the float competition with a model of a crane lifting a building out of the clouds. The fraternity also won $450 for first place in the "Laff Olympics" competitions. The Resident Hall Association won second place and $200 for their float with a model of the

new UCO Education Building. The Baptist Student Union grabbed third $100 with their replica of UCO's Y-Chapel and a couple dressed in wedding attire. The Acacia fraternity came behind the Sigma Tau Gamma's with second place and $250 in the Laff Olympics and the Alpha Joacquin Stevens and Suzy Gamma Delta sorority placed Bussert reign as homecoming third, taking home $150. king and queen.

UCO's Homecoming parades best of Edmond By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer

Chants of "UCO" from the Broncho cheer team and sirens and horns of emergency vehicles echoed throughout the campus Oct. 14 as the UCO Homecoming Parade got underway. The parade, with the theme"Building Dreams for the Future," attracted not only the participation of student organizations and campus departments, but also the involvement of emergency services from as far as Norman and McLoud. Susan Mason, chairperson of the parade committee, said she invited emergency teams involved with the recovery following the bombing, -from the fire, police and national guard departments to the physicians and the ROTC cadets carry the colors for the UCO Homecoming parade. From left are Cadets Steven Norton, David Price, Kelly Curtain, Edward coroner's office." The largest turnout came from the fire Gibbs and Cadet Major Jack Pennington.

PARADE continued from page 4 Piedmont's volunteer fire department. Fire Chief Rick Lofgren, who oversees the 17 volunteer firefighters, said his department enjoyed participating in the parade. "We appreciate the invitation," he said. "We got to see and visit with a lot of other departments." In addition to the lights and sirens, several UCO organizations had their own floats or carried signs with their own interpretations of the theme. The Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity sported hard hats and construction wear while its float had a building model rising from a ring of clouds. "We were lifting a new UCO out of the sky," said fraternity member Sean Carney. The financial aid department interpreted its role of dream-building with a float bearing a large magic lamp. From stiff gun-slinging cadets to giggling women from the class of 1945, each gave their own insight into what dreams are really made of.

REPORT continued from front page

This suggestion, along with an organizational chart in the draft, shows that President Nigh would become a CEO, accountable to OU's President David Boren. The draft also recommends putting more employees under one supervisor or "flattening" the organization structure, a move that, under analysis, identified 118 positions systemwide that could be eliminated. UCO provided the research team with detailed organization charts on all its staff. Changing the reporting structure at UCO and other

universities to more employees reporting to one supervisor would produce a savings that "could reach $20 million," notes the draft. The draft states that under a unified university system, students transferring from one school to another would no longer encounter coursework at one school as an unacceptable credit at another school or the problem of course duplication. Another recommendation in the draft includes elimination of OSRHE and the reassigning of duties to the position of Secretary of Education, who would be appointed by the

system suggested by this draft promotes a very restrictive environment which he witnessed when he lived in Europe. Brisch said he believed the research team is a think tank that wants a monopoly of power without checks and balances. "The model does not fit in with the fiber of America," said Brisch. "The American people should have their say (about education) at the grassroots levels." Brisch said he believed Americans are not "fascinated with the centralization of power." "Diffusion of power insures

governor and empowered "with the authority and resources to govern and coordinate the entire university system." A further recommendation would be to eliminate all existing constitutional and statutory institutional boards and create a University System Advisory Board, with a representative from each institution. This board would make recommendations to the Secretary of Education regarding higher education in the university system. Hans Brisch, chancellor to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, said the

the beauty of having differences in society," he said. "Americans must have plenty of protections so the shifting political winds do not undermine the greatness of our institutions." Brisch said the research team has consulted with representatives from OSRHE, but has given them no idea what would happen to their employment if this model was put into place. The image Brisch said he has with this model is that "on Tuesday, all teachers would be on the same page, following the same curriculum at the same time."

Train derailment spurs reminiscence for professor By Mary Reinauer

Staff Writer Oct. 10's front page story on the Amtrak derailment in the Arizona desert seemed like déjà vu to UCO history professor Dr. Patrick McGinnis. When McGinnis read of the passenger train derailment, he saw in it several striking similarities to a deadly sabotage case over 50 years ago. In the historian's collection are many books considered obscure by some, fascinating by others. The Tragic Train, authored 20 years ago by Don DeNevi, is one such book. It tells the story of "The City of San Franciso," Southern Pacific's premiere

luxury train, back in the Golden Era of rail travel. "There are many parallels," said McGinnis. "In August of 1939, a passenger train was derailed in Nevada, near Carlon. Twenty people were killed." "Both trains belonged to the Southern Pacific Railroad. Both were westbound," said McGinnis. With a pencil and paper, McGinnis drew a diagram to illustrate how railroad tracks 'are constructed to include trip wires at intervals. These wires send a safety signal if the track is disrupted, he said. "In both cases, someone knew how to do it without tripping the signal," said McGinnis. Before the advent of .

commercial airlines, trains like "The City of San Francisco" were considered the way to cross the country in utmost luxury, said McGinnis. The 20 aboard this "tragic train" never reached their destination. Perhaps they had looked up in anticipation before the train crossed the bridge that lay just ahead. It is theorized that saboteurs in both crimes targeted this point to maximize destruction by sending the doomed cars and passengers

hurling off the bridge. Although McGinnis stressed that he could draw no conclusions to link the two derailments, he shared his observations with the FBI. "They didn't laugh at me," he said. "In '39 they actually sent someone to live out in the desert," said McGinnis. Although the agent stayed on the investigation for five years, the case was never solved, and as far as he knew, was still open,

said McGinnis. In Oct. 13's The Daily Oklahoman, it was reported that "FBI agents are investigating a lead concerning a 56-year-old case of track sabotage in Nevada that paralleled the Amtrak case, down to disabling the warning system." In his book-strewn office at UCO, McGinnis agreed that sometimes one has to think like a historian, instead of a detective, to shed old light on a new 011 crime.

Kingsville stings Bronchos 27-21 By Scott Moore Sports Writer

The upset bug buzzed around Wantland Stadium Saturday night when Central Oklahoma played Texas A&M-Kingsville. . It buzzed for the entire game --- a lot longer than a lot of people thought that it would â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it never did bite. In the end, it died on UCO's 27-yard line when Texas A&MKingsville quarterback Oktay Basci took a knee to kill the final seconds off the clock. Kingsville, the big, bad, bullies of the Lone Star Conference, took UCO's hardest punches and left Edmond with a 27-21 victory in front of a Homecoming crowd of about 6,000 fans at Wantland Stadium. Kingsville (5-1 overall and 30 in the LSC) came in with a No. 3 national ranking and was riding a 19-game conference winning streak dating back to 1991 and had won three-straight conference crowns. But the No. 17-ranked Bronchos (5-2, 1-2) stunned the Javelinas by jumping out to a 140 lead with 6 minutes' left in the first quarter. Kingsville came back to tie the game at 14 at the half and after an exchange of touchdowns; the game was tied again at 21 with 7:18 left in the third quarter. Then Kingsville broke the game open with the biggest play of the game. Facing a third-and25 at their own five, Basci hit Karl Williams who. was streaking

over the ,middle for a 95-yard touchdown play. The blocked extra-point gave the Javelinas a 27-21 lead with :51 seconds left in the third quarter. After that, the Bronchos did not threaten to score again on their last five possessions, punting twice and turning the ball over on their final three. "I'm proud of our effort but I'm not satisfied with just coming close to winning," said UCO head coach Gary Howard. "They are a physical football team but we came out and played just as physical. Our players came to play. We're just not content with coming close. "As disappointing as this loss is I don't think it will take anything out of this team. If we continue to play at this level, we'll beat the quality teams on our schedule." "We know that we did a good job tonight," said UCO quarterback Stanley Pena. "We played well and had chances to win a game that maybe a lot of people thought we had no chance. We moved the ball against them and scored some points and the defense played well so Ithink this is a boost to our confidence." The statistics were not as close as the final score. Kingsville outgained the Bronchos 556-198 in total yards and had-27 first downs to UCO's nine. Kingsville also fumbled eight times, losing five. Four of those fumbles ended drives inside the Bronchos 30 yard line. The other fumble happened at the Kingsville 28 when UCO

Top LSC offense motors past top defensive unit By Scott Moore

Sports Writer The clash between Texas A&M-Kingsville and Central Oklahoma Saturday night at Wantland Stadium was a featured match between the Lone Star Conference's top-rated defense against one of the LSC's top offenses. Entering the contest, UCO was tops in the conference in total defense and scoring defense, allowing 238.2 yards and 9.3 yards per game. The Javelinas entered the contest leading the conference in rushing with 275.6 yards per game and second in total offense with 425.2. Kingsville won the game 2721 but in the statistical war, the Javelinas won more handily, ringing up 556 total yards on 85 plays to 198 yards on 51 plays for UCO. Kingsville distributed their yards almost equally, with 276 yards rushing and 280 yards passing. Before the game, UCO head coach Gary Howard said that Kingsville was a physical team that might be bigger than they were a year ago when Kingsville lost in the Division II championship game to North

Alabama 16-10. After Saturday's game, Howard repeated those statements. "Tonight we played a big, physical offensive unit," said Howard. "They were pretty tough to handle physically. They also had some speed to burn." They also had turnovers. Kingsville fumbled eight times, losing five. four of those turnovers killed Javelina drives at the Broncho 28, 16, 11 and 2yard lines. One of Kingsville's turnovers led to UCO's first touchdown when Kenny Evans stripped the ball from Kingsville receiver Charles Thompson and raced 28 yards for a score. Kingsville's eight fumbles is the most by any team against UCO, breaking the old record of seven set by Presbyterian and Texas A&M-Kingsville in backto-back games in 1979. Kingsville also netted 27 first downs Saturday night which is one shy of a new Wantland Stadium record and two shy of the record for most first downs by an opponent against UCO. The Javelinas 556 yards of total offensive is 23 yards shy of

UCO expenditures reach $2.8 million for physically disabled By Mike Gustafson Staff Writer In 1990, the United States government passed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which calls for private and public facilities to make changes in their property to ensure easy access for people with physical disabilities. _Since the act was instated, UCO has spent more than $2 million in modifications and established a task force to ensure that it complies with the ADA's demands, and the university has done it with a great attitude, said Nick Widener, executive assistant to the vice president on special projects. "Making sure that the university handled the situation with promptness and a good outlook was one of the first things the president (George Nigh) did when he came to UCO," said Widener. Because the cost can reach

very large figures, some businesses may find it a burden to comply with the ADA's standards. "I genuinely believe the administration is happy to make the money available," said Roy Howe, ADA adviser to UCO. "They realize how important it is to the handicapped community." President George Nigh appointed Widener to head a task force to study the campus and develop a plan for accommodating the needs of the disabled. The task force consisted of disabled people, physical plant workers, staff, faculty and construction consultants, said Widener. The study took over a year to complete and resulted in a 400page comprehensive survey that is now being used as a guide by other universities across the state. "Our survey has taken a leading role," said Widener. "We

have set the way for other universities to make the changes to comply with the ADA." UCO hired Lippert Brothers Construction to carry out the 15month plan, at a cost of $2.,8 million, which was less than what the survey estimated, said Widener. The entire campus was affected by the ADA's stipulations and changes proved to be extensive in some cases. "Old North, a building that was built over one hundred years ago, it had to have an elevator installed," said Widener. Some of the other changes include: Chair lifts installed in the Art Building, changes in every bathroom on campus, alarm systems with lights and sirens, height of controls in elevators, water fountains lowered, hand rails for the stairs, power-assisted doors, curb cuts, disabled parking spaces and changes in pay phones, said Widener.

The project, now 95 percent complete, has met the approval of almost everyone on campus. "The changes have made a whole world of difference," said Howe. "The buildings are more accessible. UCO has gone out of their way to address any complaints with accessibility."

The project is also considered a success by the administrators. "From the beginning, we have had a lot of support from the president on down," said Widener. "We knew it had to be done, but UCO went beyond the legal requirements."

MOVIE REVIEW

Get Shorty stands tall in originality, Rating

s much as it pains me to compare everything John Travolta does and will do in the future to Pulp Fiction, and as hard as it is to leave Pulp Fiction alone—I just can't do it. Pulp Fiction blew the doors off conventional movie making and changed the way the public judged its trips to the cinema. Since Pulp Fiction, few movies have been able to compete with its originality and the tremendous amount of thought that went into the film. Get Shorty is, however, on the same level in every aspect. The movie stars John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Rene Russo and Danny DeVito in a complex web of characters,

All this is packed into less than two hours, so the audience is totally entertained and has found a worthwhile use of $5. Travolta's character is definately worth an outing to the theater. As I was constantly reminded by the overanxious girls next to me, "he's so cool." But then again, anything that can make Gene Hackman look good is worth $5.

in the story, because it is so wellthought out and directed. The characters are all welldeveloped and likable in their own respect. There is not one cliché moment or scene during the entire movie. For example: The movie opens up in a 34-degree heat Miami Beach, quickly followed by a move to Los Angeles, where rain is pouring from a dreary afternoon sky. The movie flowed perfectly, there was enough talking, but not too much,.there are shootings and deaths that no one is expecting, and a multitude of well developed characters. Get Shorty has it all suspense action (but not too much), humor, love, likeable characters, unlikeable characters and an intriguing story line.

surprisingly unexpected and is riddled with guest stars, who round out Chili Palmer's cast. As our movie progresses and eventually draws to a close, so does Chili's until we are left with the completely satisfying, but unexpected end to both movies, which neatly wraps up the complicated tale. This may not sound, that complex but there are three or four groups of unsavory characters, including mob bosses, small time gangsters and drug cartel owners, all chasing their money and all dealing with Chili Palmer. This makes the movie hard to summarize but easy to keep up with in the theater. Directed by Barry Sonnenfield, Get Shorty is totally entertaining and the audience can get totally engulfed

motives and personalities. Get Shorty is kind of like Pulp Fiction, but in a classier, smoother, friendlier, `50ish, pink neon sort of way. Get Shorty is a colorful story about Chili Palmer, a smooth and intimidating professional loan shark who treks from Miami Beach to Los Angeles to collect a debt from a runaway dry-cleaner. While in Hollywood, Palmer decides to try his hand in the movie business. Upon meeting movie producer Harry Zimm played by Gene Hackman (who also owes money) Palmer relates the story of how he got to Hollywood and the mission he is on. Of course his movie idea isn't finished, but he sells Zimm on the idea anyway. The movie's conclusion is

o w that midte rms are over at UCO, some male Physical Health students may want to think about another kind of exam. Students concerned about their prostate health can visit the Student Health Center for a lowcost physical exam. Annual rectal exams are one way men can avoid becoming a statistic. Nationwide,doctors reported 440,000 new cases of prostate cancer last year. The prostate is a small gland that wrap-s around the male urethra. When healthy, the normal prostate produces substances that preserve the viability of sperm. When disease causes it to swell, the flow of urine is obructed. Most of the time, the disease is benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Some cancers are found at this stage as well, but men should not wait until they are symptomatic. More than twice as many men were diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1995 than in 1990. Some wonder if this is partly due to better detection methods and the general graying

of the population. Dr. Steven Archer, an Oklahoma City urologist specializing in detecting and treating prostate cancer, said these factors play a part in the rising numbers, but do not explain the entire trend. "That's some of it, but if you subtract all of these variables, it still seems that it is rising," said Archer. "40,000 deaths in 1995," said Archer, referring to statistics published by the American Cancer Society. "Let's go back just five years and it was 30,000." Research has not yet shown a relationship between prostate cancer and sexual frequency or birth control methods, including vasectomy. Archer said diet may play a role, as cultural groups who consume less fat have a lower rate of many cancers, including prostate cancer. However, what is known is the very strong genetic influence. "If your father has prostate cancer, you are two to three times more likely to have a clinical case. If your father and your uncle have it, that brings it up to seven times. If you have three primary relatives who have prostate cancer, you go up to

about 10 or 11 times the risk," said Archer. Dr. Archer said he believed the most important new developments in prostate cancer detection are in the area of screening. Men at risk should have a physical exam and a blood test called PSA (prostate specific antigen). Those belonging to the highest risk group are men 50 years old or older. "Black men and men with a family history of prostate cancer should probably start at 40," said Archer. Screening is available from a family physician, internist or urologist. During Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in September, a number of facilities offer low cost exams and blood tests. If results are abnormal, the man is referred to a urologist. The exam doesn't hurt, said Archer, but nevertheless "a lot of men would take the risk of prostate cancer rather than go in and have a rectal exam. It's something they'd rather not think about." This is unfortunate, said Archer, because "what you don't know can hurt you." The earlier doctors discover prostate cancer, the more NEM

Courtesy of the American Cancer Society chances surgery and chemotherapy can provide a cure. Archer gives another persuasive reason for earlier detection. Early detection enables doctors to treat the cancer with less tissue damage. With these special "potency sparing techniques," chances are that 85 percent of the time, a 50year-old patient will maintain sexual function, as compared with a 30-percent chance for a 70 -year -old. "The younger the fellow is, the better the chances that potency can be retained," said

Archer. Archer said he hopes more men will go for screening before symptoms arise. "By the time you have symptoms, things are usually too far along." Regular screening, early detection and treatment can reduce the death rate and improve the quality of life for men 40 and over. The key is to find the problem, so doctors can fix it. "That's where I get my jollies," said Archer.
