Oklahoma taxpayers in for end of they ear rebate

Annual Poverty Week designed to inform, help those in need

by Lauren Hyer Vista Staff Writer

The third annual Poverty Awareness Week will run Oct. 24-29 with various events planned to educate students about poverty and raise money for those who need it most.

"This is an amazing opportunity to get involved and expand our own awareness about poverty," said Liz Kiser, Volunteer Center coordinator. "Especially after we have recently had to face poverty in America, due to the devastation of the hurricane."

To symbolize how many millions of people are struggling to survive everyday, hundreds of flags will be displayed on Oct. 24 by Broncho Lake.

The hunger banquet will be at 7-9 p.m. on Oct. 25 in the Will Rogers Room on the 4th floor of the Nigh University Center.

Students will be divided into different social classes and will experience the dining experience of their designated class,

UCO students counter protest at rally held by Kansas group

by Lauren Hyer Vista Staff Writer

"God hates America" was one slogan printed on a sign by the group 'God Hates Fags' at a 9 a.m. rally Oct. 16 at the First Baptist Church of Del City.

Several UCO students turned out to counter protest the event.

"They believe God himself is killing our troops because we are not condemning homosexuality," said Christina Purdon, journalism senior, who helped coordinate a counter protest.

"We are not fighting a war for sexuality, but to have a choice and maintain our freedoms."

A UCO College of Education and Professional Studies program designed to expose teacher candidates to the broad range of education curriculum and community service-learning, has entered its sixth year.

Oklahoma taxpayers will receive a tax rebate just in time for Christmas.

Individuals who filed Oklahoma State Income Tax for 2004 are due a rebate from the Oklahoma Taxpayer Relief program from late November to mid-December. More than $91 million in rebates will be sent back to Oklahomans statewide.

"We are estimating around $45 for singles and $90 for married individuals," said State Treasurer Scott Meacham.

"I didn't know I was getting money back," said Gretchen Magee, E-Communications coordinator for UCO's College of Education and Professional Studies.

"I heard I was getting 45 bucks back," said David Maxwell, art professor. "It'll probably get spent on Christmas," Maxwell noted.

Meacham said the Oklahoma Legislature has known for a while that there was a money surplus. "We could tell early last fiscal year," he said.

Any extra money in the "General Revenue Fund" goes to the "Rainy Day Fund," which is also called the "Constitutional Reserve Fund" and is used for economic emergencies.

This fiscal year, the "Rainy Day Fund" was filled to the limit, Meacham said. "We filled up the "Rainy Day Fund" and

Plan on sneaking into Mitchell Hall?

Box office says don't even think about it New measure requires all students must pay for performances; some cry foul

by Courtney Bryce Vista Staff Writer

Ushers will now stand guard at the bottom of the steps leading up to the balcony in Mitchell Hall to keep students from sneaking into events without a purchased ticket.

Jordan Domanski, box office manager, said the Sept. 24 midnight showing of "Passion of Dracula" made them aware of the increasing problem.

Domanski said 248 tickets were sold but the auditorium appeared to have more audience members than that.

"It's really hard to tell," Domanski said. "The bottom (seats) hold 300 to 350 (people).

So it might look like it's full, but you can't really tell."

Domanski said even though there is no way to know for sure exactly how many students have been sneaking in, the problem has increased.

Students have mixed feelings on whether or not they should have to pay for a student ticket.

"As far as music theatre and band students go, it's going to sacrifice a lot of the audience," said Walker Matthews, music education junior.

pus to administer immunizations to adults via a traveling treatment center.

The vaccine is also available at the main office in the Wellness Center after the twoweek touring period. "At-risk"

individuals including health care workers, pregnant women, and the elderly may receive their shot early, Monday through Friday from 11 am and 1:30 pin at the same location, while supplies last. The cost, ateither location is $20, and proof of identification may be requested.

As the seasons change, you may find yourself with the usual chills and fever, persistent congestion, sore throat, exhaustion, and body aches characteristic of the flu. The immunization, however, can reduce your overall risk by as much as 70 percent, and the severity of symptoms is greatly reduced in those who do

get sick. With just a ten-second needle stick, you'll be far less likely to spend those miserable days alone on the sofa with only ginger ale and saltines for company.

Reactions to the flu shot usually include low-grade fever, muscular pain, and redness or swelling at the injection site.

Minor illness should not be mistakenly correlated to the "flu shots cause the flu" myth.

While only about 10 to 20 percent of Americans are actually affected by the flu on a yearly basis, some 36,000 cases result in death, particularly among children and senior citizens. According to the Center for Disease Control, over 200,000 people in the United States alone are hospitalized,

the majority between October and February.

The seriousness of all flurelated maladies is widely underestimated, although the pandemic beginning in 1918 serves as a grim historical reminder of its potential consequences, a disease phenomenon responsible for an estimated 50 million deaths.

Recent concern over the avian flu that has originated in Asia has brought special awareness to all strains. Tamiflu, the drug currently employed in flu vaccines, does not protect against the H5N1 variety, but it will strengthen your immunity to combat more traditional sources.

Oklahoma cannot afford these so-called "Taxpayer Bill of Rights."

TABOR effectively destroyed public and higher education by limiting taxpayer funding growth in Colorado. Before TABOR, Colorado was ranked 31st in high school dropout rate (in 1993) and rose to 48th (in 2001). Colorado's population increased by 18 percent in the last ten years while elementary school enrollment increased by 21 percent--which means early

event of an outbreak may further motivate consumers to get their shot earlier than in past years.

Simple methods of prevention like washing your hands frequently, making a conscious effort to avoid touching your face, not sharing food or drinks with others, and avoiding contact with people who are already sick can also help. If you have the flu, get plenty of rest, drink extra liquids, stay home from school and work to avoid contaminating others.

President Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court from guest columnist and the PR director of the UCO College Republicans. The left will be given an opportunity to respond in the Toss-Up Oct. 25.

Response to the previous Toss-Up about the Oklahoma Taxpayer's Bill of Rights from guest columnist and president of the UCO Young Democrats.

The Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) is an amendment that creates the illusion that one size fits all. The amendment stipulates that all government programs must adjust for inflation and population growth using only a small, fixed percentage.

Certain interest groups are advocating the destruction of these government social programs.

In 1992, Colorado became the first and only state to pass this amendment, and 12 years later will vote this November whether to repeal TABOR. Colorado was ranked 8th for the nation's most livable states in 1993 and just last year dropped to 23rd according to an economic survey conducted by Morgan

education is under funded by three percent. Higher education enrollment increased by 24 percent during the same period.

Now, these forces are trying to bring TABOR here. Oklahoma's children and grandchildren will suffer under TABOR. We can no longer let these extreme, radical lobbyists and interest groups control Oklahoma's future. This `one size fits all' model does not and has not worked—and voting for TABOR would be the worse mistake Oklahomans could make.

Like many of my conservative brethren, I am opposed to Harriet Miers' nomination to the Supreme Court.

Miss. Miers is most likely a wonderful person with a cornmendable record of public service.

However, she does not have any experience as a judge or in the field of constitutional law.

Conservative columnist George Will comments that "if 100 such people had been asked to list 100 individuals who have given evidence of the reflectiveness and excellence requisite in a -James Henson, President of justice, Miers's name probably UCO Young Democrats would not have appeared in any of the 10,000 places on those lists.".

All the public knows is that she is extremely loyal to the president. The Senate is simply to trust the president that she will rule conservatively from the bench twenty years from now.

The reason why the Founding Fathers required Supreme Court nominees to be confirmed by the Senate is to prevent nominees like Miers being appointed to the Court. In Federalist Paper 76, Alexander Hamilton argues Senate confirmation is "an excellent check upon a spirit of favoritism in the President, and would tend greatly to prevent the appointment of unfit characters from State prejudice, from family connection, from

personal attachment, or from a view to popularity."

Last Thursday President Bush cited that Miers' religion is a strong factor for her nomination to the Court. If being a Christian evangelical is a qualification for the Supreme Court, then I am and many others are qualified to be a justice.

Mr. President, pick a nominee with the philosophy and experience of Clarence Thomas, William Rehnquist or Antonin Scalia. You owe it to the people who voted for you in 2004.

-Dustin Gabus, College Republicans

Should religious views be a factor in fitness for a seat on the U.S Supreme Court? Why, or why not?

"Yes, because our country was founded on religious views."

"I don't believe it should be a deciding factor for individuals to be in the Supreme Court system. It should he based on your knowledge of the passing law."

"No, because there should be a separation of religious views, morals and values."

STUDENT AFFAIRS

Flu Shots Available at the Student Health Center How do flu vaccines work?

Flu vaccines cause antibodies to develop in the body, and these antibodies provide protection against influenza virus infection.

Why should people get vaccinated against the flu?

Influenza is a serious disease, and people of any age can get it. In an average year, the flu causes 36,000 deaths and more than 200,000 hospitalizations in the United States. The "flu season" in the United States is usually from November through April each year. During this time, flu viruses are circulating in the population. An annual flu vaccine is the best way to reduce the chances that you will get the flu.

When should I get a flu vaccination?

The best time to get vaccinated is from October through November. Flu activity in the United States generally peaks between late December and early March.

RALLY: Roughly 400 people turn out; most to counter protest from page 1 to Oklahoma to protest in front of Oklahoma Rep. Paul Wesselhoft's church because of his recent draft of time, place and manner restrictions Purdon said.

Wesselhoft's restrictions would make it illegal to protest two hours before or after a funeral, and would require protesters to stay 500 feet away. These restraints will pertain to churches, synagogues, gravesites and any type of memorial or funeral service.

"They came out here to try to intimidate Paul," Purdon said.

"It didn't work very well since

there were only about 20 of them out there."

Authorities said there were roughly 400 people present, and the majority was on the counter protest side.

Deputy Leon Davis from the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Department said he was worried about fights breaking out, but luckily there were no riots.

When the 'God Hates Fags' group stomped on the American flag, the counter protesters started saying the Pledge of Allegiance and shouting "USA".

Purdon said 'God Hates Fags'

is an organization put together by the Rev. Fred Phelps, who is in charge of Westboro Church.

His whole family is involved and it is their mission to preach hate, she said.

She said they turn the Bible around so God is a vengeful deity who wants to spite anyone who walks in his path and that they combine all references of homosexuality from the Bible into a doctrine of hate against homosexuals. Purdon said the group thinks America has become apathetic towards homosexuality.

"What I'm trying to figure

out is have these people totally lost touch with reality?," said Misty Honeysuckle, nursing freshman. "If they hate America so much they should go somewhere else...they represent the kind of Christians I don't want to be."

Purdon said the group's vow is to go to every soldier's funeral they can drive to. They have an agenda posted on their Web site at www.godhatesfags.com .

The group was also in Oklahoma last week to protest at Army Staff Sgt. John Dole's funeral.

Purdon said she heard about

the organization from the media and, after visiting their Web site, she decided to help put together a counter protest. She said she sent out about 100 e-mails to various organizations to spread the word.

"We wanted to make sure more people were there supporting them (Wesselhoft and his church), than bashing them," Purdon said.

Ramadan begins, observed by local Muslims at mosque near campus

by Trisha Evans Vista Senior Staff Writer

At first glance a person might mistake the white brick building across the street from the Wellness Center as a fraternity house, minus the Greek letters.

But unlike all the other buildings and houses on University Drive, it was purposely built to sit slightly offset on its lot. Its main wall faces east, toward Mecca, Islam's holiest city toward which all Muslim's pray.

The Edmond mosque sees extra traffic during Ramadan, the holiest month in Islam, which began Oct. 5. It is "compuisory" for all Muslims to fast the month of Ramadan because it is one of the five pillars of Islam, said Dr. Riaz Ahmad, professor of biology and caretaker of the mosque.

Fasting begins at sunrise and ends at sunset. Muslims gather

at the mosque for prayer five times a day.

Men and boys file shoulder-to-shoulder in lines facing the domed architecture where the imam kneels and says the prayer that can be heard over a loud speaker throughout the mosque.

"Allah akbar. . ," the imam prays. It means God is great in Arabic, the language of the Quran, Islam's holy book.

Women dress traditionally and cover their heads. It is not required for women to attend mosque as it is for men, Riaz said.

They pray separately in a small building behind the mosque or in the room adjacent to where the men pray.

Riaz said the reasons for this are obvious. Because of close proximity during prayer and the frequent kneeling, women would be a distraction for men during prayer.

After the evening prayer,

they break their fast in a meal called far, brought by different families every night, Ahmad said.

"This creates a very beauti-

is unique because it is so culturally diverse.

"Ramadan is basically an opportunity for me to revive my Muslim beliefs—a time where you spiritually prepare yourself," said Saad Feroz, computer science senior.

Muslims believe their rewards will be increased for acts of charity done during Ramadan, Ahmad said.

Faheem Mian, political science senior, said fasting is about remembering those who are hungry and thirsty and getting closer to the Creator.

"Muslims regard Ramadan as a month that purifies them both physically and spiritually," Mian said. "Ramadan in the U.S. is different from back home."

"Back home it is more festive," he said. "The whole state is fasting."

Mian said some of the differences are good.

A class is taught for nonMuslim's almost every night during Ramadan. Jane Schlubach, humanities and philosophy lecturer, brings her humanities and world religion classes to the mosque during Ramadan.

"The visit to the mosque was interesting. Studying religion is necessary for understanding culture," said Lindsay Hendricks, sociology junior. "My experience with the study has opened my eyes and strengthened my own faith."

AT-RISK: Prospective teachers cut their teeth in various classroom environments from page 1 town Oklahoma City.

Dr. Jennifer Endicott, UCO professor in the Department of Professional Teacher Education, said the teacher candidate tutoring program began in Fall 2000 after she applied for a "service learning incentive grant" from the state of Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education Web site states that "academic service learning" is a "teaching method that incorporates community service experiences into academic courses."

Endicott said the college has a "conceptual framework" with the goal of making teacher candidates "reflective, resourceful and responsive." She said she felt the need to create a project that would offer a wide range of experiences for teacher candidates and the About Face Academy was a "perfect fit" for her Foundations of American Education class.

Endicott said at least one hour of tutoring and a paper about the candidates' experience at the academy is required for the class.

The Oklahoma City Public Schools Web site states that the academy is a military-based program for students with "continuous discipline problems."

Class sizes range from 10 to 15 students and the academy

Pakistani students collect funds to aid earthquake victims in homeland

by Trisha Evans Vista Senior Staff Writer

The Pakistan Student Association is raising money for earthquake victims in Pakistan through Oct. 19.

They have a table for donations near the food court of the

Nigh University Center.

Pakistan was one of the hardest hit areas in last week's earthquake that also affected India and Afghanistan.

Nazish Manzoor, PSA president, said the money will be donated to the Pakistan Consulate's relief fund in Washington, D.C.

Mobisher Rabbani, PSA spokesperson, said the areas affected are in the mountains, where people live in rural villages.

Irfan Hafiz, biomedical senior from Pakistan, said helicopters are essential to the relief effort because roads no longer exist in many places.

"The people were already below the poverty line," Hafiz said. "They have no food and we are getting the word that people are now eating grass."

Hafiz said he is worried about the many people who will be without homes in the extreme cold of northern Pakistan.

"The •situation is getting

Third installment of 'Friday Night Live' doubles the fun

by Nathan Winfrey Vista Staff Writer

The Student Programming Board sponsored the third installment of "Friday Night Live," a sketch comedy show written and performed by students Oct. 14 in Constitution Hall.

With guest host Catherine Roach, broadcast communications junior, and musical guest Blank Stare, the performance was the first of the semester and drew a crowd of about 350 to 450 people, said Dallas Strimple, Student Programming Board president and executive producer of the show.

"That's about double what our best attendance was last year," he said.

"I definitely credit the turnout to complete word of mouth," said Michael Goodman, cast member and UCO Student Association vice president.

In addition to word of mouth, the crew used the Internet profile network Facebook.com , sidewalk chalk and contacts with fraternities, sororities and residence halls to draw their record-breaking attendance, Strimple said.

"The main thing that's different this year is the amount of cast members we have," said Jason Hines, Friday Night Live director and former cast member. This performance featured 15 cast members, which includ-

This was the third performance of the sketch format-style show, which is written and performed by UCO students. The show drew 350 to 450 spectators. for me to get on stage and just focus on FNL and the characters I have to play...I can just get away from everything (else) that's going on."

Hines said preparation for the show is a four-week process.

During the first two weeks, the cast writes the scripts and brainstorms ideas.

"We start off and we just sit around at a table and throw out ideas at a general brainstorming session," Strimple said. "A few cast members will probably sit down with those ideas and type up a script for it."

He said some ideas never become scripts if the cast agrees that the concept isn't working or if no one gets a drive to do it.

"That's the biggest part of the production," Hines said.

During the third week, the cast rehearses and gets most of the technical details figured out. "That's usually not the fun week...the last week is when it gets really fun," Hines said.

The final week of preparation becomes hectic, filled with dress rehearsals, costume and set work and audiovisual production, he said.

"Before the night ofthe show,

"It's very liberating," Goodman said. "It's a chance

you have rehearsal every single night," said Jill Sallee, cast member and UCOSA speaker of the house. "So when you usually do homework at night, you have to do it during the day before you go to rehearsal."

"I definitely pulled out my hair once or twice because it was so stressful, but I got it all done," she said.

Roach said, "The time cornmitment was worth every minute, simply because of the overwhelming feeling of accomplishment I felt after doing the show. I was so honored to have been asked to be the guest host, and I would do it again in a heartbeat."

Strimple said the process is organic, that the sketches evolve right up until the day of the performance, but during the show there is no ad-libbing. "Our cast was really good at sticking to their scripts."

"The past two shows, we have stepped up everything 100 percent," Hines said.

For the first show, the crew only produced an opening video, now they have video sketches and sound cues, Hines said.

Strimple said for this installment they played a pre-recorded

sketch for the first time, "(Also) we had a lot more cast members, so we were able to have each cast member not playing so many roles...that was a big difference, I think."

Hines said the first show was primitive compared to where it is now. "We didn't know how to do a lot of things," Hines said. "We not only didn't know how, we didn't know we could... we're just getting used to the show, so we know what we can and can't do."

Strimple said the next Friday Night Live will be Nov. 11.

"We're going to try to

(1° WE CARE

finalize who our host and band is going to be before we get back from fall break," he said.

"The week after fall break, we are going to be writing scripts and starting rehearsals."

Strimple said they will keep the same cast for next time and then hold another audition in the spring for people interested in participating in the March show.

"We don't have time to hold an audition and get the next show together in time," he said.

"The whole cast seemed pretty optimistic about coming back, so I don't see us losing anyone."

"I would love to see it become a huge deal at UCO...where tons of people are involved," Sallee said. She said she wants creative studies majors to help write scripts and graphic design and computer arts majors to help with video and urges interested students to contact Strimple or Hines through Facebook.com .

Strimple said plans for future installments of Friday Night Live include re-airing on UCO's Channel 22.

'Wallace and Gromit' visually fun, charming, entertaining reason to see the new "Wallace

and Gromit."

As an added bonus, a short computer-animated film starring the penguins from "Madagascar" plays before the movie starts. For some reason, it's Christmas-themed, even though this is October, but it is funny and sweetens the deal for anyone considering seeing the main attraction, which itself has a Halloween slant perfect for the season.

Not everyone will like "Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit," but for fans of their other films, clay animation or light-hearted comedy, it would probably be a bad idea to miss this one.

Vista Staff Writer

The British clay stopmotion animation duo Wallace and Gromit returned Oct. 7 in "Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit" after a ten-year absence from the big screen.

From the makers of"Chicken Run," brilliant inventor Wallace (voiced by Peter Sallis) and his silent pooch Gromit are pest control specialists this time around, after facing off against criminal penguins and journeying to the moon in search of cheese in past adventures.

Their company, "AntiPesto," is in high demand with the annual Giant Vegetable Competition drawing near and a plague of ravenous rabbits laying waste to the neighborhood's prized produce.

Using vacuum tubes and mind control, Wallace and Gromit capture and humanely brainwash the rabbits instead of introducing them to the business end of a shotgun, as their competitors would. Although, wouldn't erasing a rabbit's desire to eat just cause a slower and more painful death? I guess we're not supposed to think about that.

After the posh Lady Tottington (voiced by Helena Bonham-Carter, "Fight Club") personally enlists the help of the beloved man-and-dog team, they are convinced this is their chance to break into the big

Even though the Lady has an unhealthy obsession with carrots and a face like Chelsea Clinton, Wallace is instantly smitten, much to the chagrin of her scheming, gold-digging suitor Victor Quartermaine (Ralph Fiennes, "Schindler's List") and his evil mutt, Phillip.

When a monstrous creature begins terrorizing pumpkin

patches and melon crops, the town is in an uproar, and it's Wallace and Gromit to the rescue.

Funny and charming, this Grated animated feature contains enough subtle sexual humor and pop culture references to entertain teens and adults while kids, who won't understand why a sign that says "May Contain Nuts" is funny, will love it as

UCO 'Stampede of Sound' works hard for Broncho spirit

by Courtney Bryce Vista Staff' Writer

They came from all directions carrying bags, bottled water and instrument cases to Plunkett Park Oct. 8.

It was game day and the "UCO Stampede of Sound," the marching band, rehearsed their halftime show before the Bronchos game against Texas A&M Kingsville.

Marching Band Director David Hanan, who laid out the drill chart and taught the music,

said the band learned the show in one week.

"I stand in front of them (and teach) and then turn it over to the drum majors," Hanan said. "It's really nice to see the growth."

Hanan said his favorite part of directing is watching the final product at halftime after seeing the band work hard in rehearsal.

However, he said it is sometimes frustrating to put a show together because he does not find out until two or three days before how much time the band gets on the

"When we were standing in the end zones and waiting for the football team to run through, a girl answered her cell phone," he said.'

Jacob and Stephens agreed that some bad attitudes exist in the band.

"People just don't want to put their all in it and don't try their hardest," Jacob said.

"They don't make it about representing the school, they make it about representing themselves," Stephens said.

Members of the color guard said they didn't have enough people that wanted to be on the team to have an official try-out.

"We accepted people that have never done this (color guard) before," Marshall said.

Hornets Report

by Jeff Latzke AP Sports Writer Sean Banks didn't arrive in the NBA quite the way he expected, but that doesn't mean much anymore.

After signing with the New Orleans Hornets, he knows he has to work just as hard as an undrafted free agent as he would have if he had been a first-round draft pick.

Banks, a 6-foot-8 forward who was ruled academically ineligible 10 games into his sophomore season at Memphis, was considered by many to have first-round talent but his other baggage left him without a team at the end of the draft. He participated in summer camp with the Hornets, and signed with the team on Saturday.

After the Hornets' second day of practice in suburban Oklahoma City, he said he's learning quickly what coach Byron Scott expects of him.

"Sean's biggest thing right now is that he's never really been pushed. He's going to have to get used to being pushed and doing all the little things," Scott said. "I'm the type of coach that relies heavily on details. I want things done a certain way. I want them done the right way.

"When I say touch the line, I want the line touched. Those are just little things that he has to learn and deal with."

Scott said he considers Banks a gifted player. The 20-year-old averaged 17.4 points and 6.5 rebounds his freshman year at Memphis, and had four games in which he hit six 3-pointers.

"He can score. He has a knack for putting the ball in the basket," Scott said. "He's a natural small forward. All the little things that we have to teach him to play the game at 20 years old is going to take him a little time.

But I think he's worth it."

Scott said Banks, who is one of four rookies on the Hornets' 18-man training camp roster, needs to make up ground on -

Blundering Trojans rewarded

by Matt Cauthron Vista Sports Editor

ftentimes in sports, it takes a glaring injustice to get a bad rule changed.

Take the NFL for example.

I'm sure there was once an NFL game during which a team was staging a last-minute comeback with no times-out left, and that team intentionally committed a false start penalty in order to stop the clock.

It was only a matter of time before someone figured out that a false start was a nifty way to stop the clock in the absence of timesout. And once someone did, the NFL promptly added a new rule, the runoff rule: If the offense commits a penalty in the final two minutes of a half, there's an automatic runoff of 10 seconds from the game clock.

It's a logical rule. It's logical to disallow the offense to bend the rules to their advantage in such a way. But until it affected the outcome of a game, the need for a rule to stop it wasn't apparent.

Well, I saw a college football game Saturday that was affected by the absence of a completely logical rule, and now that it has fd,

O

happened, it's time to rewrite the book.

The mighty USC Trojans should have fallen to the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame Saturday, but a Matt Leinart screw-up in the closing seconds actually screwed up the Irish instead of the Trojans.

In case you didn't see it, let's recap: Notre Dame is up by three with about 10 seconds left in the game, and USC has the ball at the Irish 10-yard line. Leinart drops back to pass, rolls left and finds no one. He tucks the ball to run and lunges toward the goal line, where he's crushed by two Irish defenders short of the touchdown.

From the angle on television, you couldn't see the ball shoot out of Leinart's hands and fly out of bounds after the defender leveled him. But the referee saw it, and he correctly ruled that it was USC's ball and that the game clock be reset to seven seconds (as the clock, by rule, should've stopped when the ball was fumbled out of bounds). USC got another play, they scored, and their unbeaten streak is in tact.

Now, I'm not saying this situation is unfair. I mean, rules are rules. Leinart clearly didn't intend to fumble the ball, it was

simply a stroke of luck. And the rules say that if an offensive player fumbles the ball out of bounds, the clock stops and the offense maintains possession.

So it's not as if a botched call decided this game, like the one in game two of the Angels-White Sox series did. In this case, the play was ruled correctly.

But this is exactly the kind of situation that should prompt a changing of the rule. Notre Dame did everything right. It was Leinart who screwed up, and the rules shouldn't reward the team who screws up. In this case, stopping the clock was the ultimate reward.

They should just change the rule to reflect the spirit of the NFL's runoff rule. If an offensive player fumbles the ball out of bounds in the last two minutes of the game, there should be an automatic 10 second runoff from the game clock.

Instating this rule would be little consolation to Notre Dame, but at least in future games, a team wouldn't be able to blunder its way to a victory; or worse, start using the out-of-bounds fumble the way NFL teams once used the false start.
