Preparing for the homecoming

Looking at school history through the pages of The Vista By Chase Dearinger Copy Editor

by Vista photographer Chris Albers

Public relations major Maryann Stewart takes part in a window painting competition for homecoming week. The Bronchos will take on Midwestern State 2 p.m. Saturday at Wantland Stadium.

On an especially cold Christmas Eve in 1890, Gov. George Washington Steele signed Council Bill #106, a bill that established, for the first time, a college in the eight-month-old Oklahoma Territory. The act established the Territorial Normal School of Oklahoma in the town of Edmond. The first twenty-three students met in a church and their curriculum consisted of a review of the eighth grade and the first year of high school courses. The school has seen a century come and go and a variety of name changes. In 1904 the Normal School became Central State Normal School; in 1919 it became Central State Teachers College; 1939, Central State College; 1971, Central State University and 1991, the University of Central Oklahoma. The language of Council Bill #106 states that the intent of the Normal school was "the instruction of persons in the art of teaching in all the various branches that pertain to a good common school education, also to give instruction in theory and practice of teaching, in the fundamental laws of the United States and in what regards the rights and duties of citizens." But this is as far as I can go. In the spirit of Homecoming Week, I took it upon myself to write an article that set forth the history of UCO. I'm talking about a history that explores all facets of the school, from spirit to athletics to new buildings to name changes; a comprehensive history that brought all students and alumni up to speed on the oldest college

in Oklahoma. What better place to go than The Vista itself to find all of this information? I headed for the UCO Archives, on the second story of Chambers Library, determined to capture the history of the university in articles written by Central students at the time of the event. What did the Vista have to say in its first issue in 1903? What was reported about the establishment of the new football team in October of 1904? How did students respond to Mrs. Wantland's suggestion that the school's mascot be a Broncho? How did they feel about the spelling? The most interesting thing that I found was that none of these events were ever recorded in print, at least not in the college or city newspapers. All I found was a sidebar on how the college became a four-year school in 1939 and a small discussion of the new library building that was to be built in 1956. What I did find, however, was far more interesting that what I didn't find. I found another history; a history concerned with the lives and activities of students at UCO and less concerned with a comprehensive, categorical assessment of major university events. The very first issue of The Vista contained an interesting critique on the part of Harvey 0. Shuff and Alice D. Mann, the editorial staff. It seems that around the turn of the last centaury, students at the Territorial Normal School lacked school spirit.

Campus gun bill Documentary shown to may be returning raise health awareness By Andrew Knittle

Senior Reporter

With Oklahoma's legislature set to begin a new session in about 90 days, many of the state's top education officials are worried the controversial campus gun bill, which was shot down in March, may be back on the table come February. House Bill 2513, written by Rep. Jason Murphey (R-Guthrie) sought to allow students over the age of 21 to bring guns onto campus, so long as those students had a concealed firearm permit and proper training. The bill was passed in February by the House (65-36), but it never made it to the Senate due in large part to a resolution passed during a meeting of Gov. Brad Henry's

Campus Life and Safety and Security Task Force early in 2008. Higher education officials were very much opposed to the bill at the time, and University of Oklahoma President Boren even offered to get on his knees and beg the Senate to

keep the bill from becoming law. On Oct. 13, the task force met again. And again, the issue of the campus gun bill seemed to become an issue. Glen Johnson, chancellor of the Oklahoma State Regents of Higher Education, said the bill wouldn't protect students if a gunman attacked a campus. Instead, he said passing the bill would decrease the level of safety student's currently enjoy. "If it comes up again, we want to be ready to oppose it," Johnson

said. Murphey said while his first attempt to get the bill signed into law may have failed, it doesn't mean he is going to stop trying. "I'm really committed to doing something to break up the gun-free bubble," Murphey said. "There's got to be a way to have an application of concealed-carry to a campus that at least makes it so that a criminal can't go into that environment knowing that the only people that are going to have guns are going to have uniforms."

Senior Reporter The Church of Open Arms is hosting "Unnatural. Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick?," a documentary about United States healthcare in hopes of raising awareness to Oklahomans. The Oklahoma Health Equity Campaign's four hour-long film explains how and why the nation ranks 30th in the world for life expectancy. Relying on facts such as levels of illnesses for adults in their 30s and 40s with a low income are comparable to affluent people in the 60s and 70s, the Church of Open Arms, Oklahoma Turning Point Council and the Oklahoma State Department of Health are collaborating to spark debate and interest in the healthcare system. The partners are hoping to educate and organize alliances and advocate government action to solve the problem quickly and effectively. Teachers, practitioners and community leaders are all being looked to as vessels to spread the message. The documentary will be shown in episodes along with discussion afterward. The first episode, "In Sickness and In Wealth", will be shown from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. this Sunday and

HEALTH EQUITY CAMPAIGN Rev. Dr. Kathy McCallie will speak about the documentary's findings of links between health, economic status and race. The seventh and final episode, "Not just a paycheck" will be shown on Sunday, Dec. 7. Race will also be discussed at the meetings. In 2002, Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher and his colleagues found that 83,570 African Americans died from preventable causes. If "Black-white differences" in health did not exist, 229 deaths a day could be avoided. The documentary will explain why it is believed the root of health inequities are different intertwining areas of survival such as, affordable housing, urban planning, labor transportation and education. Church of Open Arms is located at 3131 N. Pennsylvania Ave. in Oklahoma City. To RSVP call (405) 525-9555.

Film showing gives students advice and preventative measures on school shootings.

Week to celebrate freedom of speech established

Reflections from around campus

"Congress shall make no law ment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." -The First Amendment of the United States Constitution Communication is common place in our daily lives. It is through interaction that we learn, we experience, and we grow as humans, as Americans. This opportunity maybe an afterthought in the busy lives many live. However this week, National Freedom of Speech Week is designed to call to mind just that, why we are allowed to do what we do, and why we should be grateful. In 2005 The Media Institute, headquartered in Washington D.C., felt compelled to honor, and proclaim a freedom that is the cornerstone of our western democracy. National Freedom of Speech Week, now in its fourth year with almost thirty partnering organizations is spreading across this land, raising public awareness of our freedom of speech, our freedom of press, our freedom to peaceably assemble. This past Monday your fellow Bronchi) men and women realized this and overwhelming passed Joint Resolution 08-109 which forevermore honors the third week of October as National Freedom of Speech Week on our campus. Your UCOSA Congress stood in unity with Americans nationwide in recognizing the unalienable right to free speech and the right to peaceful assembly as promised to us by our Federal Constitution. What does it mean for you? What does it mean for me? For many it may be a week of appreciation of the many forms of communication we enjoy. For others this may be an opportunity for expression and growth, whereas for some this is a time of remembrance of our brave men and women who fight in defense of our Constitution, our freedoms. For the purpose of this week is to unite others in a collaborative and creative manner. This is not about advancing a political agenda, but of recognizing some of the most powerful tools we as humans have, communication and community. Granted this is just one week, and one approach in celebrating our constitutional freedoms. By the time of this letters publication the weekend will be before us, and homecoming festivities approaching a climactic finale with Saturdays home game. The motions we will go through this Saturday, assembly and communication may be nothing special to us. However the freedom to do so is one we should all acknowledge, appreciate, and be proud of. Speak out and proclaim your right!

Ron Clark to discuss education techniques today

NATIONAL

FREEDOM E

SPEECH WEEK

By Ryan Croft

Staff Writer

Internationally renowned teacher and author Ron Clark will speak today in the Nigh University Center. "He'll be talking about practical ideas to work with your school to increase student achievement," media spokesperson for the event Karen Youngblood said. According to a press release, Clark will offer advice on educating children not only in the classroom, but continuing that education at home and in the community. Clark will conduct two separate lecture sessions — one in the afternoon for professional educators and one in the evening for the general public. Youngblood said the first session will focus on child education techniques specifically for those in the educational field. In the second, Clark will talk more about what parents and others can do to help further education in and out of the classroom, she said. Clark was named one of "101 Heroes Among Us" in a June 23, 2008 issue of People Magazine. The release also states he received the "Phenomenal Man" title in a recent issue of "0" Magazine. Clark is the first person to receive this title, according to the release. Disney gave Clark the American Teacher of the Year

Award in 2000. "Children that came to him grade levels below their age level...at the end of the year...they're performing at or above their actual age-grade level," Youngblood said. Clark also wrote the New York Times best-selling book "The Essential 55" and followed that with "The Excellent 11." Youngblood said Clark will share techniques and information from his books and past workshops, as well as new innovations and ideas he has developed. "It's a chance for educators...throughout all of Oklahoma to be with their peers," Youngblood said. "To interact and network and hear ideas from a very gifted man." Actor Matthew Perry portrayed Clark in The Ron Clark Story, a 2006 TNT Original Series movie. The movie portrays Clark as "an energetic, creative and idealistic young teacher who...is able to make a remarkable difference in the lives of his students," according to TNT's website. The first session will be from 1:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m. and the second will be from 7 p.m.-8:30 p.m. In the afternoon, Clark will speak for an hour-anda-half, then conduct a 30-minute question and answer session. The event will end with a one-hour book signing.

Major networks deciding election? The media has already chosen who has won. All you have to do is turn on CNN, MSNBC or FOX and then you will be trained in the ways of what the media thinks. Seeing as though I am a media, mass communication major, it is even a more disappointing concept to analyze. I think the media could wrap feces in a pink bow and convince the public they need it in order to survive. As much as I hate to say it, the major news networks (FOX, CNN, MSNBC, etc.) are one of the major downfalls of journalism and our American society. The problem? People watch it and believe the media whether we admit it or not. We want a more entertaining story, so they give it to us, because if they don't, we won't watch them. It is a cycle that has continued for years. This is the very reason why I feel like we as a society are contributing to the downfall of our government. They may be taking more and more of our freedom, but I feel like it's due to the fact that nobody has protested- nobody is saying "no." If a wealth-dominated corporation in any walk of life, any continent or any race had an emotional hold of the inferior, you can't tell me they wouldn't take advantage of it. We've unfortunately been conditioned that

way- to need somebody. The more times they say "terrorism" and "economic crisis" the more freedoms we fork over. Not one major news network is more believable over the other. During the debate between John McCain and Ron Paul, for example, FOX cut short Ron Paul's answers to give the impression that McCain had the better argument. In my opinion, the news network knew beforehand who they felt would be better for president and portrayed it in that manner. And most of us (but • -1 -1 ? 9Aii --Jana Davis certainly not all) will

CNN n akt(eh Obama look like he is the savior of the 4votld. Walking through Neillsville, Wis. over fad break, Obama political signs were posted' in windows of stores showing Obama wearing all white with a faint glow around his head. Why? Because the media has portrayed him as the second coming of Jesus. All the news networks are biased-you won't find one that isn't. Try to sort through the opinion and dC7ft accept what the media says as sole truth. It is most likely only partial. If we accept partial truth as the sole, we still believe a partial lie.

Before graduating, check out UCO history It's Homecoming Week at UCO and signs welcoming former students are visible all over campus. For me, this is a time to look into the school's history and I have found over this past semester that I am very privileged to attend a school that places such an emphasis on preserving its history. I've had several opportunities this semester to visit and work with the archives office in the library and it is a great experience every time I get to search through the annals of Central history. From Dec. 24, 1890, when the First Territorial Normal School of Oklahoma was founded at Edmond by„ Council Bill #106, ... this university has a great story that is continuing today, as the campus grows even more. When the Forensic Science Institute and the Transformational Learning Center are completed, this campus will continue its tradition of growth. Being somewhat of a history buff, I love learning about the history of the places that I go and am involved at and I really appreciate the archives department at the university as well as the Edmond Historical Society and 'Museum for allowing students to do so. A visit to the archives in the library will allow you to explore the university's history by viewing a number of exhibits from differ-

ent time periods in our history and the staff is friendly and willing to show you around or help you find what you're looking for. I think every student should visit the preserved dorm room in Thatcher Hall to see what Central was like in a different time. Before graduating, students should look into the fascinating history of this university that is intertwined with the history of the city of Edmond. Before the advent of the Internet and email, before cars and SUVs, the first institution of higher education in the state of Oklahoma was started in a town called Edmond, Okla. and the University Central Oklahoma continues in its grand tradition today. The Vista was published for the first time as a literary journal in November 1903 by the senior class and we proudly carry on our tradition of reporting on and being a watchdog for the university. In the words of William Faulkner, "you must always know the past, for there is no real Was, there is only Is." Bottom Line: While UCO is growing every year with new buildings and programs, take time to appreciate where we came from, so then we can see the real value of where we're going.

The Bottom Line

Every student should look into the fascinating history of this university that is intertwined with the history of the city of Edmond.”

be found than the endorsement of the former four-star general. For many voters who still have doubts about Obama's allegiance, Powell's endorsement should lend to the Obama campaign a degree of legitimacy in the eye's of suspicious conservatives and apprehensive independents. After all, it was only eight years ago that Colin Powell endorsed John McCain in the Republican primaries. Gen. Powell is a principled man, and his remarks indicate that the negativity of the McCain campaign, and its shallow focus on personal relationships, lead him to endorse his opponent. Commenting on the Ayers association he said: "I've also been disappointed, frankly, by some of the approaches that Sen. McCain has taken recently, on his campaign ads, on issues that are not really central to the problems that the American people are worried about ...This Bill Ayers situation that's been going on for weeks became something of a central point of the campaign ... trying to suggest that, because of this very, very limited relationship that Sen. Obama has had with Mr. Ayers, somehow, Mr. Obama is tainted. What they're trying to connect him to is some kind of terrorist feelings." As Powell so clearly states, the McCain campaign has been attempting to cast fearful doubts about Obama into the electorate. This type of fear mongering may have been slightly successful for the McCain camp, and probably scared away more than a few votes from Obama. But their attempt to associate him with anti-Americanism has drawn the one endorsement that can offer vindication from these charges. Associations do matter in politics. Unfortunately for McCain, Americans can now look to Obama's present relationship Powell rather than past ones with people like Ayers.

For lunch, you can eat for $6.95 if you want teriyaki or spicy chicken. Otherwise, you can open your pocketbooks to a $36.95 Shogun Seafood Triple Threat complete with lobster tail, scallop and shrimp. If you and a guest want to be entertained, the hibachi grill dinner for two will run you a cool $42. Maybe you can get something in between the two. Daviyion says Kabuki is a great place for lunch or dinner, and if sushi is your cup of tea, this is the place to be. He gives it a 9 out of 10 rating for a great opening night meal. Ryan gives Kabuki 4.5 out of 5 stars because the average price of a meal is more than most college students will feel at peace with, but those with deeper pockets will likel want to eat there more often.

It has been a while since we have been to Kabuki due to fall break, but we surely could not forget about it. We must preface this review with a few items of business. First, this review is based on opening night, which means our server was not quite as knowledgeable as we hoped, but that is completely understandable. It is also useful to note that Ryan has actually spent three weeks in Japan so his knowledge of real Japanese food is higher than most. Thirdly, for emphasis, this was "opening night" and although we expected it to be ridiculously busy with entrees splattered across the floor, servers tripping over each other and hoards of disgruntled patrons, this was not the case. In every aspect of an opening night, Kabuki set the bar. We understand there are some people who are not quite as curious as we are about new restaurants, and we can see why they may be hesitant to try new restuartants.

Remembering Jenna: a tribute to her life International

UCO Sophomore Jenna Russell.

The UCO sophomore will live in hearts of loved ones forever Sunday, Oct. 12, marked the one-month anniversary of the unexpected death of UCO Sophomore Jenna Russell. She was a daughter, sister and friend. Although this past month was a difficult and an unusual time for her loved ones, her family and friends said it was comforting to know that she is looking down from above, watching out for everyone. "Jenna loved nothing more than to hang out with her sisters of Alpha Xi

Delta," Jennifer O'Brien of Alpha Xi Delta said. "This sorority was truly what she loved most in life and she made that known to everyone who knew her. We have missed her so much, and it is going to be so weird not having her walking around the house and making us laugh." "She was involved in so many things," Chloe Campbell, President of Alpha Xi Delta, said. "She was a nurse, a soccer player, a volunteer and extremely active in Alpha Xi. She loved jamming out to music with her friends as well. Among her favorite bands were rock icons Nirvana, Pantera and Nine Inch Nails." Deanna Becker, Russell's mother, agreed. "I know that the Greek Life became her life," Becker said. "I regret that I didn't get to be a bigger Part of it, but seeing how she loved it, I wished that I liad. "frftW Alpha Xi girls' have Photo provided , been amazing to me and my family and I cant wait to be there to cheer the girls on at Friday's homecoming cheer and dance competition." This past month has presented many difficult changes for Russell's family as well. "She was a one of a kind daughter," Becker said. "It has really started to hit me these past couple of weeks and we are so lost without our munchkin. I miss her smile and never knowing what to expect when I was around her." Russell was known for her ability to make anyone laugh at any given moment no matter how bad a day they were having. She was also endearingly notorious for her reckless driving, her clumsiness and her bad cooking her family and friend= "We always jolted- that Jenna would have to marry someone that knew how to cook because she sure didn't take after me," Becker said. "She always wanted to

be in the kitchen to talk, but never actually watched me cook. "I always tell people that I tried. Jenna was also so clumsy. One day I actually had to take her out to the trampoline to teach her how to fall to where she wouldn't get hurt because she was always tripping." Along with her family and sorority sisters, her absence has affected many others. It has impacted the lives of her classmates, fellow athletes, lifelong friends and neighbors. It is obvious how loved and admired Russell was. It is no mystery that she has impacted the lives of so many people. She will always be remembered and even though she may not be physically alive, she will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her forever. "Every time I might be having a bad day and need a laugh or even just a smile, I always think of Jenna and her radiant energy and sense of humor," O'Brien said. "It makes my day that much better. "She is missed by all of us, but we know that she is happier now then she could ever be here with us. And what is comforting about that is that she was one of the happiest people I have ever known. So I can only imagine how happy she is now." Russell's mom said she would like to thank the UCO community and the Alpha Xi Delta Sorority for all the love and support they gave to her family this past month.

"She is missed by us all, but we know that she is happeier now then she could ever be here with us...I can only imagine how happy she is now."

Student Council to participate in Homecoming By Abha Eli Phoboo

Senior Reporter

Every fall semester thousands of UCO students participate in numerous events throughout the week leading up to Homecoming. As significant as Homecoming is, international students on campus have remained uninvolved over the years. However, this year the International Student Council is participating in the Homecoming parade. "Homecoming has not meant much to the international students on campus, but this tim we hope to get involved and share our cultures," ISC Treasure Albana Gjata said. Although the ISC and the various country organizations associated with it have participated annually in the July Fourth parade, this is the first year the council has actively participated in Homecoming. "The July 4th parade has always been an important event for the ISC," ISC president, Khusro Iqbal said. "We carry the flags of various countries and walk through Edmond with all other participants as a part of the community," This year, the ISC plans to have international students participate the Homecoming parade in a similiar manner. Flags of the different country organizations will be carried and titleholders of various international pageants and members of country organizations will be invited to walk with them. "It will be the first time that the international students are participating in the Homecoming event, which is important because it gives us the opportunity to explore the American culture and learn about the traditions at UCO," Iqbal said. This year the ISC introduced three new events, with the Homecoming parade being one.

Preserving UCO's past: a museum of history By Greg Newby

Staff Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma has a vast amount of history, much more than most people know about. Few people are aware that much of its history is preserved in the Thatcher Hall Museum. "When alumni and old grads return to campus, they are going to return to where the memories are," said Dale Reeder, former Thatcher resident and founder of the Thatcher Hall Preservation Committee. "The museum and the old dorm room provide settings to remember stories of their campus experiences." Built in 1937, Thatcher Hall was originally the men's dormitory on campus. During the decades of the building's dorm service, it housed Army and Navy pilots during World War II and Air Force trainees during the Korean War, as well as the Clerk Training Program. As the university grew, so did the need for classroom and office space. "In the early '90s, we found out that Thatcher Hall Dormitory was not going to be a dormitory anymore," said Annette Ryan, UCO Archives Administrator and member of the Thatcher Hall Preservation Committee. "Dale was concerned that some of the original things were going to be destroyed." After hearing that Thatcher was to be reconfigured, Reeder found the original plaque dedicating the building in the basement, was being used as a manhole cover, Ryan said. Reeder and Ryan, along with Kathryn Kunc, all UCO alumni, formed the Thatcher Hall Preservation Committee with the pur-

pose of establishing a museurn to preserve artifacts and memories of the former dorm building. "We worked diligently for several years to get everything going," Ryan said. "Dale would find things and bring them over and salvage items that were important to the hall." In what committee members like to call a "mini-museum," which is adjacent to the hall's main lounge area, by Vista photographer Chanel Henry there are items ranging from the original A student enters Thatcher Hall on Wednesday. The buzzer intercom museum is open during regular University operating communication hours while some foreign language classes are held. system to a section of the resident mailboxes, and a mul- 2353. titude of photographs, not only from the history of Thatcher Hall, but also from the

university. The other prominent feature of the museum is the restored dorm room. With everything from the original door and transom setup to the twin beds, in room sink and pair of desks, they looked in past issues of UCO yearbooks to make the room as authentic as possible, Reeder said. As a part of this weekend's homecoming activities, the cornmittee is hosting a Thatcher Hall Open House from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. Current students, faculty and alumni are invited to attend. "Come see campus memorabilia, old photos and a tour of the restored dorm room," Reeder said. The museum is also ope,nt during„ regular Jiniversity; ,bperating hours. A tour of thy; orm room can be arrapged by contacting Karen Price at 974-

History

Continued from page 1

"We lack genuine college spirit," the editorial staff reports. "Often some enterprise falls through on account of this tone of indifference. One mark of a student body that is alive and progressive is the vigorous enthusiasm that characterizes it in all its undertakings." Their solution for this? The Vista. "This condition calls for some organ that will keep the constantly increasing number of the alumni , I inn touch with each other and with the present work of the school, that will help to bind the students into one body in loyalty to the college." Twenty years later, the Vista had transformed from a magazine into a student magazine; an "organ" that weekly reported on the events of the school. This is where we get our first glimpse of student life at UCO. On October 1, 1921, the Vista reported that "Folk Dancing" was the most popular course offered through the physical education department: "One of the most popular courses for women offered by the Department of Physical Education at Central is folk dancing. And unusually large number of young women have enrolled and Miss Wantland, the director, says that their enthusiasm is unbounded. She finds that they are not only eager to learn the steps of the folk dances but that they are anxious to be taught poise, correct posture, and grace in bearing." Just two weeks later the paper ran a sidebar on "Flapper Philosophy." The philosophy included such maxims as "The good generally die or outgrow it" and "Health hint; when you get a girl be careful whose girl you get." The quotes reflect student's love of parties and difficulty with classes. "The break of day often prevents night from going too far" precedes "Two things are certain: death and examinations." An important question for students at that time seemed to be whether or not their single female teachers would continue to teach after they got married. The final bit of "Flapper Philosophy" reads: "Twinkle, Twinkle little ring / Wedding Bells are what you bring / Do you think she'll teach next year? / Wait a while and you will hear." Almost 20 years later we find students of Central State College concerned with donn life and another world war. On September 14, 1939, we see that there have been a few chang-

es to the rules for the women's dormitory: "Freshman must be in their rooms at 9 p.m. this year on the four closed nights of the week," Mrs. Riggan, the hostess as the dormitory told a reporter. "Other students have until 10 o'clock. This change of rules was made in view of the fact that freshman need such a regulation in order to become adjusted to college life." But not to worry. Mrs. Riggan claims "We want people to have a good time in the dormitory." The article on dormitory rules is sandwiched somewhere between a Camel cigarette ad and a Chesterfield cigarette, which claims their tobacco provides "More smoking pleasure. THEY SATISFY." Next to one of the cigarette ads is a preview for a talk sponsored by the YWCA and YMCA. The talk is for students and entitled "The Implications of the Christian Religion for the Present War Situation for Students." Seventeen years later, students are les concerned with war and more concerned with college. There seems to be a boom in college attendance; the paper reports record enrollment numbers for both fall and spring in 1956. Many of these new students are concerned with the ever-increasing costs of a college education. Junior Carol Rice discussed the costs of college in an article entitled "Why Go to College?" on February 2, 1956: "Maybe you think going to college cost a little too much money. We know a college education on the average costs $9,000. Let us compare it with money returns from a higher education. Is it worth what it costs? We find in most cases the average college graduate will, in a lifetime, make approximately $268,000, where in the same length of time an elementary or high school graduate will only make from $116,000 to $165,000. In thinking again, maybe it is worth it." The cost of education was not the only worry in 1956. Senior Kay McAulay prompts students prompted to study harder on February 16. "Another semester has come and gone and perhaps we should all stop an take stock of ourselves. All too soon grade time will be upon us. It's too late to do anything about grades for the fall semester, but we can all make a resolution to do better next semester." Twelve years later, students at Central State College were interested much more interested in politics and war. On September 1968, Roger

Old North as it stands today. Pugh wrote an op-ed piece on the age of voters. He believed that the voting age in Oklahoma should be lowered to 18 years: "Lowering the voting age would stimulate an interest in government among youth. They would have the opportunity to take part and have a voice in the affairs of the government, which may keep them from becoming 'dropouts' from society in later years." Central students may have desired the right to vote in light of their military service in Vietnam, as well. Student concerns for the Vietnam conflict dominated The Vista during this decade. On November 12, 1968, Nancy Johnson wrote a column entitled "Canada or Jail?" She expressed concern for the fate of war protesters in this article and outlined the .options for a man that had been drafted into service: "When a man is called upon to serve his country and he is unalterably opposed to the war in Viet Nam, there are many possibilities available for deferment. But after the various legal possibilities of deferment are exhausted, he then has only three choices. He can either go to a federal prison for five years, flee to a foreign country or enter military, service." The Vista has been reporting on student and community life for over a century. During that time, students have seen two world wars, economic depression, peace, prosperity and protests. They have, however, remained committed to the school that is their alma mater. We've come a long way since The Vista accused the student body of lacking spirit. I hope the years have demonstrated that we have "loyalty to the college:"

Internal documents provide more E.coli "info" By Laura Hoffert

Senior Reporter

Approximately 50 miles east of Tulsa, lays the once little known town of Locust Grove, Okla. This past August that all changed when one of the local restaurants, Country Cottage, became the center of controversy for causing the largest outbreak of a rare strain of E. Coli in national history. T h e Oklahoma State Department of Health interviewed 1,834 people Photo provided and concluded that of the 314 known cases, all of the victims had eaten from Country Cottage. One victim, Chris Ingle, died after eating the restaurant. However, The Oklahoman obtained internal documents confirming that the OSDH allowed the restaurant to remain open after discovering six of eight people who were primarily interviewed for food poisoning ate at Country Cottage. The internal documents were e-mails that were acquired though an open record request. One message, sent on Aug. 24, two days after Health Department officials were notified of the increasing numbers of food poisoning cases, stated, "We do not have enough info at the current time to implicate this establishment as the likely source...this may leak out to the media today tho." According to The Oklahoman, last week OSHD officials conf irrne'd "one or more of the E. Coll victims ate at Country Cottage the same day the e-mail was sent. "Obviously with an outbreak this large in scope, there will be lessons learned that we can apply to future investigations," Leslea Bennet-Webb, Health Department spokeswoman, said to The Oklahoman. On Aug. 26, the restaurant voluntarily closed down for investigation and has not reopened its doors since. In her interview with The Oklahoman, Bennet-Webb defended the Health Officials decision to keep the restaurant open and said, "Just because you hear anecdotally about people eating there, that doesn't necessarily mean there's enough to prove that the Country Cottage was the source of the outbreak." However, on Aug. 23, one day before the e-mail was sent, Health Officials were aware that three of the four people that were ill recently ate at the restaurant. On Aug. 25 OSDH released a statement citing the Country Cottage as a possible contamination source. On Aug. 24, the same day officials claimed to not have enough "info" to close the restaurant, Ingle died from eating food from Country Cottage, which was contaminated by E. coli 0111. The outbreak caused 241 people to become ill, 72 in-patient hospitalizations and 17required dialysis for renal failure.

An inside scoop to "Max Payne" the movie By Jana Davis Co-Editor

a fun place to go, you know. I had to stay in that space for the course of the 12 weeks of production.

The following dialogue excerpts are from a phone interview with actors Mark Wahlberg, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges and Mila Ktmis on Friday, Oct. 10. College newspapers from all over the Untied States participated in the conference call and was moderated Alloy Media & Marketing and hosted by Twentieth Century Fox. Wahlberg, Kunish and Chris each reflected on their personal opinions about the recently released "Max Payne" movie, The discussion includes why they chose their roles, upcoming movies and their reflections on the movie. Newspapers were allowed to submit three questions to the actors and actress and then chosen over the phone to ask them.

Q: Marie Uhler from University of Georgia at the Red & Black Mark, I read... I'm big fan, by the way... that you said you did not and were not going to play the video game because you have an addictive personality, and you didn't want it to take up your time. Do you think the movie will appeal to fans of the game and people who don't play video games at all?

Q: Jon Oakley from Western Illinois University at the Western CourierYeah, I was just wonderim, -ien he was lookini what attracted him to the r0 Max? A: Mark WahlbergWell, I'd been looking to do somethin.g ifh some some energy, some intensity. Aft r doing Ti , vely and doing M. Night's movie The I a ppem iefini â&#x20AC;˘ wanted to do something where I c , really Kt!' ia go And I read the script before ! -ean. was b d on video game, and I just thoug;1, it was 1 nice fit I me.

A: Mark WahlbergWell, first and foremost we wanted to satisfy the diehard game fans, and hopefully it will draw a lot of other people to the film based on the images that they see in the spots, and you know, maybe they'll go and watch and play the game after... I'd love them to watch the movie before they play the game. Q: Ryan Mazer from the University of Alabama at the â&#x20AC;&#x201D;rimson WhiteAlright... Mark, I was just wondering what your feelings were on the "SNL" sketch from last week "Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals."

A: Mark Wahlberg,,', Well, it certainly wasn't as funny as Tina Fey doing i. Sarah Palin. I haven't really watched "Saturday Night Live" for a while. I was a big fan during the Eddie Murphy, Joe Piscopo days although I liked Will Ferrell on that T y Q: Tse Mei Ng vego from Th sh9w. It was okay. It was kinda funny. It was funnier than Oswegoniantat movie he did, Hot Shots [Moderator's Note: Mark Hi. My question is what sets iax Payne apart from all Wahlberg is referring to Hot Rods, a 2007 film starring the other video game mov 1i1< romb Raider, Doom and Samberg.]. ; tman? ModeratorA: Mark WahlbergWell, we've got more questions for the group too, but I'm not really too familiar with those movies or those I wanted to ask a couple of Chris. Or should I call you games. I didn't steer away because it was based on a Ludacris, or Luda, or Mr. Bridges? video game. There was a bit of a red flag raised just because the video games I grew up playing had no story Chris "Ludacris" Bridgeswhatsoever. I mean, I played PacMan and like Asteroids. You can call me Chris. Unfortunately, that is the second So, I'm not really familiar with other games that were most popular name, but there are no other Chrisses here made into movies, I just really liked the script. And then right now. after realizing it was based on a video game, I obviously wanted to do a little investigating, but I was surprised at Q: Moderatorhow elaborate the story was and how cinematic the game Sounds good. Sam Sottosanto from The Daily Eastern itself was. But I really didn't do too much research, or you News, are you there? Okay, I'm going to go ahead and asks know, I wasn't too concerned with what other games they Sam's question for him. Sam wants to know, Chris, you've made into films did or didn't do. done voice-overs in some video games, and now you star in a movie based on a video game. Is that on purpose? Q: ModeratorHave you played the Max Payne game? If so, how close Susan Harr from Texas A&M Island Waves, are you do you think the movie and the video game are? with us? Alright, I'm going to go ahead and ask Susan's question for her. A: Chris "Ludacris" BridgesWhat did you do to physically and psychologically to Theater of the Mind November 25th. Cop that. I prepare for the role of Max Payne? definitely did get a chance to play the video game. I think that the whole storyline of the movie is loosely based off A: Mark Wahlbergthe video game, but it takes it to a whole other exciting Well physically I didn't have to do all that much. I've and action-packed level. And as far as the other questions been training to do a boxing movie for two years now so are concerned, I've done voice-over work. I used to work I kinda came in in shape. And I've done a lot of weapons on the radio, so that's really where a lot of it came from. training in the past on other films, so I'm very familiar So, with that being said, I would love to continue doing with weapons. But psychologically, I would say I just more stuff. I auditioned for the role, and I got the part, had to put myself in that headspace of imagining that and it was definitely written for a 60-year old white man somethirig horrific happened to my family Which is not at first. So, you know, it's very ironic.

Q: Chevonne Harris from the University of Toledo at the Independent CollegianWell, I'm a big fan, first of all. I had to say that. What drew you to the role of Jim, because he seems like such contrast to Ludacris the rapper that everybody knows. A: Chris "Ludacris" BridgesExactly. That is the exact reason why I choose roles like that to get away from the persona of Ludacris. Ludacris is a character all within itself. When I'm acting, I don't want anyone to think that I am Ludacris, and that is the exact reason why I do that. So, just trying to not only surprise myself, but surprise everyone else and continue to choose these diverse roles that let you know that I obviously must be acting because it's nothing like what the persona of Ludacris is. Q: ModeratorSo, Mila. We had, and this has never really had this happen to this extent before, great minds do think alike, so a lot of the questions tend to be very similar, but we must have had at least half of our editors ask one question in particular in the almost the exact same way. Because so many people submitted it I'm going to go ahead and ask it for the group. And the question is, you've become really well known for your comedic work in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and "That 70s Show" and, my personal favorite, "Family Guy." What's with the switch to drama? Was that a calculated move? How is it different from the comedic work you've done and all that jazz? A: Mila KunisI mean, no. It's as calculated as anything is. It's one of those things where when you get the opportunity to do a movie like this you jump at the chance. It was different. It was challenging. There's actually no reason as to why I shouldn't have done it. It's not like I did Sarah. Marshall and thus made a conscious decision to be "oh, the next film I do is going to be an action movie starring Ludacris and Mark Wahlberg." It doesn't quite work that way. I mean, yes, one day maybe, but at this very moment it just kind of happened, and I couldn't have been more excited when it did. Q: Jacob Diverr from New Mexico State at the The Round Up Yes, we just wanted to know is the Russian mobster character a stretch for you or do you enjoy playing a badass? A: Mila KunisWell, it's amazing. When I was in the KGB, in the youth, they taught me a lot. I got to really play off my personal experiences with Putin. He really taught me well back in the mother country. No! I mean, of course it's a stretch! Just because I'm from the f*ckin! country does not mean... Sorry! I don't mean to curse! My bad! Just because I'm from the country, I... Yes, it was a stretch. Absolutely! Not speaking the language, but shooting guns... Alright, I just got yelled out for cursing. I'm so sorry! It's all Chris Bridges' fault. I blame him,

unique style of shooting. Guy Ritchie wrote and directed that also. So, one is basically an independent film that is very... both of them are very clever, but I think they're both very different at the same time. And the storylines are different. ModeratorJustin from Louisiana Tech you had a question, talking of John Moore, for Mila. Q: Justin Phillips from Louisiana Tech University at the Tech Talk Hey Mila, how are you doing?

Photo provded

Mila Kunis in the new film, "Max Payne." Q: Chris Krapek from Northern Illinois University at the Northern StarMy question is, with the new album being released soon and your role in Max Payne, are you able to balance rapping and acting? Or do you focus on one at a time?

A: Mila KunisI'm good. How's it going?

Q: Justin Phillips- Louisiana Tech UniversityNot too bad. We want to know what was it like to work with a unique director like John Moore with his background being diverse from family films like Flight of the Phoenix to horror films like The Omen? What did he bring to the table for you? A: Mila Kunis-

A: Chris "Ludacris" BridgesI focus on one at a time, but luckily, when you shoot movies, it takes them almost a year to turn them around. When you're doing music, you can do that and put it right out. So, it just so happens that both projects are coming out right around the same time. Because I stopped both of the movies earlier this year or last year, and the album I've been recording over the past four months. Q: Brian Bloomer from Washington University St. Louis at the Student LifeHi Chris. With Max Payne coming out on Friday, and you starred in the just released film RockNRolla, how do the two films compare in terms of action and style? A: Chris "Ludacris" BridgesMan, they both have a lot of action. When you talk about style, they're both very different in style in my opinion. The way John Moore shot, the whole noir feeling of it, it's kind of dark. Reminiscent of The Matrix, that's kind of how Max Payne is, in my opinion. Now RockNRolla is totally different. Now if you've seen Snatch or Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, it's that

He is by far one of the most passionate, enthusiastic directors I've ever had the pleasure of working with. You know very well the second you finish speaking if the take is good or bad, because the second the last word comes out of your mouth you either hear a groan or a very loud scream. I mean, literally, take for take John would get so excited and/or not, but you definitely knew if you nailed it. Q: Justin Phillips-Louisiana Tech University So the screaming was a good thing then? A: Mila KurdsMore times than not. I mean, at one point, I remember, Mark and I were in the car doing a scene, and we barely finished the dialogue, and you hear the loudest scream, and John was so excited, yet, he ruined the take. And Mark was like "John, just two seconds! Just wait two seconds!" He doesn't yell "cut," he just screams.

and what you thought when you actually played it. A: Chris "Ludacris" BridgesYeah, we played it a little bit, and I liked it. Absolutely. I didn't get a chance to play it a lot, but from what I did, that's why it was so exciting and surreal to be in the movie. MilaYep. Here here. You took the words right out of my mouth.

ModeratOi•., Well, since we're about to wrap up, why don't you each let us know what you've got coming up for you shortly. Chris, I hear you might have an album coming out. MilaNovember 25th. November 25th the album drops. Chris "Ludacris" BridgesThe name of that album is Theater of the Mind. RockNRolla is out in LA and New York now, and comes out in the rest of the country on October 31st. Go check it out, it's really good. And then there's a movie called Game that comes out in '09 which Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine directed and Gerard Butler is in that. So, those four things. ModeratorThat's it? That's all you got? Chris "Ludacris" BridgesNo, I have more, but I'm just gonna say those for now. Tell all the college kids I have a Web site called wemix.com , and it's a Web site where people can put their original music and content on the site and get feedback from their peers. So check that out. Q: ModeratorWill do. Mila, what's coming up for you? A: Mila Kunis I just wrapped a movie today called Extract. It's Mike Judge's next movie. It's Jason. Bateman, myself, Ben Aftleck, Kristen Wiig, It's really funny, very much in the vein of Office Space. So that was wrapped today, and other than that I have "Family Guy" and then Christmas so I'm excited, and Thanksgiving.

The secret is out, movie is a success

gt7 s

By Melissa Dixon

Staff Writer

Compassion, turmoil, friendship and discovery are just a few words to describe what "The Secret Life of Bees" is about. The movie stars big names like Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, Sophie Okonedo and Dakota Fanning. It is set in South Carolina in 1964 during the Civil Rights Movement. Lilly, played by Fanning, is being raised by her abusive and alcoholic father, played by Paul Bettany. He is unwilling to talk to her about her mother that is deceased and very unsympathetic to his her. Lilly has few of her mother belongings, but one she cherishes is a wooden picture. Queen Latifah Lilly forms a bond with their Bees." housekeeper, Rosaleen, played by Hudson. Lilly and Rosaleen head into town so Rosaleen can vote which is where she is beaten by a group of white men not wanting her to vote. Lilly sneaks into the hospital and her and Rosaleen start their new journey together. They arrive in a small town where Lilly recognizes her mother's wooden picture on a jar of honey. The store owner directs her to a pink house where she finds the bee farm. The Boatwright sisters, played by Latifah, Keys, and Okonedo, welcome Lilly and Rosaleen into their home. August, played by Latifah, teaches Lilly the ropes of the bee farm. During her stay at the bee farm she witnesses turmoil through her friend being beaten for taking her to a movie, sadness of death and what being loved is All about.

and Dakota Fanning star in "The Secret Life of In the end Lilly discovers the mystery of who her mother was and is able to find love from her new surrogate mothers. She is able to discover who she is and finally spread her wings and fly. This movie shows the evil of the times but displays how love, friendship and compassion can overcome evil. I think anyone that sees this movie can take something positive from it. This movie may not be the best date movie, but it would be great for a group of friends or with your mother and sister. Produced by Gina Prince-Bythewood "The Secret Life of Bees" opened at number three beating out "W". The performances of the actresses and actors truly make this movie. I highly recommend this movie, just be sure to grab sorrie Kleenex on the way in. .t I 4

UCO shows film to help prevent gun violence By Ryan Croft

Staff Writer Unconfirmed reports of gunmen and gunshots fired on campus sent Western Kentucky University into lockdown yesterday. That incident, along with last year's Virginia Tech and this February's Northern Illinois University shootings are reminders that university gun-violence is a prevalent danger. UCO is taking new steps to make students safer from potential gun-violence on campus. As a part of this initiative, Emergency Management will show "Shots Fired On Campus: When Lightning Strikes" this Thursday. "Shots Fired" is an instructional DVD and training program designed to help students prevent and survive a shooter on their campus, according to the Center for Personal Protection and Safety – the company that created the program. Emergency Management Coordinator Norman Nieves said the DVD and presentation is not groundbreaking, new information, but common knowledge. "But it's put in a way that we can understand. It's things that we don't think about until we're faced with that type of a situation," he said. Nieves emphasized the point of the screening is not to scare students, but to get them thinking practically about what to do if an "active shooter" situation occurred. "Is it going to happen on our campus? Probably not," Nieves said. "But then, Virginia Tech didn't think it would happen on their campus." Nieves explained that "Shots Fired" was originally created by CPPS as an active shooter survival guide for the office and workplace, but was redesigned for students after the Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois University shootings. CPPS is an education institution made up of former U.S. Department of Defense and FBI officials, according to its Web site. The site also states that CPPS is dedicated to "researching and disseminating" the best ways to prevent and deal with deadly workplace violence. Nieves said "Shots Fired" has previously screened at UCO with positive results. "'It's a great thing, what you're doing... it got us to think.' That's the feedback I've gotten," Nieves said. Nieves reemphasized his point that the "Shots Fired" presentation is not to scare, but to prepare students for a possible reallife scenario, however unlikely it may seem. "If you had asked me 15 years ago... if Oklahoma City, in the middle of the heartland, was going to get hit with a terrorist bomb...I would have laughed at you," Nieves said. "But that's exactly what happened. So, you just never know... we're just trying to get people to think and discuss...the video." Emergency Services will screen "Shots Fired" every hour, on the hour, today in room 322 of the Nigh University Center from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nieves said the DVD runs about 20 minutes, then Emergency Services will conduct a discussion and question and answer session during each presentation.

Volleyball bounces back from loss By Kaylea Brooks

Sports Editor The Bronchos lost to the West Texas Buffs Oct. 16, but came back with a close win against Eastern New Mexico on Oct. 19. UCO gave up all three sets to the Buffs, defending LSC champs, 25-21, 25-14, 25-17 to end a 14-match home winning streak. The loss left UCO 10-16 on the season and 3-4 in league standings. The Bronchos stepped up against Eastern

New Mexico in a tight game with four sets 25-20, 23-25, 26-24, 25-15. Kim Iten had three straight kills that helped the Bronchos defeat ENMU. Kristen Wilson had 22 kills and 23 digs, Jessica Legako had 11 kills and 21 attacks. Iten had eight kills with 14 digs, and Meaghan Wedberg had six kills, 43 assists and 13 digs.

UCO football beat Southwestern State on Bulldog turf last Saturday, 23-16. The Bronchos failed to score in the first half and were behind the Bulldogs, 0-6. But the second half brought a complete turnaround with UCO scoring three touchdowns and a field goal. The teams were tied in the fourth quarter, but an amazing 56-yard pass by Brandon Noohi to Kendall Hendricks allowed the Bronchos to score and win. Neither team scored in the first quarter, but SWOSU's Chad McIntosh kicked two field goals to give the Bulldogs the lead in the first half. After halftime, the Bronchos came out ready for battle, scoring their first touchdown with Ryan Gallimore receiving a six-yard pass from Noohi. Kicker Chad Susman scored an extra point. The Bulldogs inched forward in the third quarter with another field goal by McIntosh, and the quarter ended 7-9. Six seconds into the last quarter, Noohi made a two-yard run for a touchdown. He then tried to pass for a two-point conversion, but failed. UCO scored again three minutes later with a field goal by Susman. The Bulldogs then rallied together and tied the game with a touchdown by Kyle Wimberly and an

extra point by McIntosh. The score remained tied until 02:24, when Hendricks received the touchdown pass and Susman kicked a fieldgoal to achieve the ending score of 23-16. The Bulldogs actually beat the Bronchos in net offensive yards with 358 yards. UCO had 352. SWOSU had 119 yards rushing and 239 passing. The Bronchos had 85 rushing and 267 passing. Individually, Da'Marean Pullen had a net of 83 yards rushing. Gallimore caught eight passes for 36 yards, Pullen caught six for 19 yards, Rick Montgomery caught five for 75, and Marqus Stutson caught five for 69 yards. Quarterback Noohi completed 27 of his 42 passes. The defense was well rounded in tackles, with several new names on the list. Terrence Hill was on top this game with 11 tackles and a sack, Ellis White came in second with eight tackles and a sack, Jermelle Cudjo was third with seven tackles and two sacks. Micah Howeth also had two sacks, and Matt Gates, Terry Hardeman, Kenneth Pointer, and Jason Palmer all had one sack each. This Saturday is the homecoming match up against Midwestern State at 2 p.m. Before the game, students from Jill Lambeth's Principles of Public Relations class will hand out brochures recycling.

Women's golf finishes fourth at 'state competition

Timeout: UFC Madness

LAWTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Final-round putting problems dropped Central Oklahoma to a fourth-place finish at the Oklahoma Intercollegiate here Tuesday as the Bronchos wrapped up their fall season. UCO was second after an opening-round 296, but the No. 14-ranked Bronchos came back with a 320 Tuesday to finish two trips around the par-72 The Territory Golf Club with a 616 total. No. 7 Tarleton State shot a closing 302 to finish at 588 and claim a 19-shot win over Tulsa, while Redlands Community College was third in the 12-team field at 613. Emily Leahey led the Bronchos with a 76, while Cassy Knight and Mary Sample both shot 80 and Maria Jimenez and Raelynn Farthing both had

"We just had a poor day on the greens and had a lot of wasted shots. It was a windy day and the course played pretty tough, but we gave a lot of shots away." --UCO coach Michael Bond

84s. "We just had a poor day on the greens and had

a lot of wasted shots," UCO coach Michael Bond said. "It was a windy day and the course played pretty tough, but we gave a lot of shots away." Leahey finished seventh in the medalist race with a 151 total after shooting a 75 in Monday's first round, while Knight came in 12th and Jimenez tied for 18th. The Bronchos enjoyed a stellar fall season, winning one title while finishing second, second, fourth and sixth in their other four events. "We had a great fall and I'm proud of the girls," Bond said. "We're taking baby steps to get where we want to be in the spring and I'm excited about what we can do."

By Kaylea Brooks Sports Editor Ultimate Fighting is a relatively new sport that has captured the attention of many men and some women as well. Formed in 1993, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has become more popular in recent years, thanks in large part to pay-per-view. The organization underwent changes in 2001 with new ownership and restructuring that has made it one of America's most entertaining sports with 13 to 14 annual pay-per-view events. UFC consists of mixed martial arts, which combines multiple forms of fighting including jujitsu, judo, karate, boxing, kickboxing and wrestling. Such a sport can seem like a free-for-all, but there are specific rules. Scoring in some states is based on what is approved for most fighting sports. These include blows with hands, feet, knees or elbows, and grappling, such as submission, choke holds, throws or takedowns. Fouls are mostly common sense and / or attacks most real fighting men wouldn't pull. Some of these are head butting, eye gouging, biting, hair pulling, groin attacks, throat strikes and kicking an opponent when grounded, just to name a few. A fighter can win by an opponent tapping out either verbally or physically, a technical knock out, decision based on score cards (unanimous, split, or majority), and by a technical decision or draw. A win can also be due to disqualification of an opponent, a forfeit or no contest. The sport is rough, to say the least. Even if there are rules, UFC is the closest to "anything goes" as fighting gets. This is a busy month for UFC. On Nov. 15, threetime UFC Heavyweight champion Randy Couture will take on Brock Lesnar, a six-foot-three, 265 pound rookie whose specialty is wrestling. Couture has more experience under his belt, and hopefully experience will make up for the 45 pound advantage that Lesnar has. The match is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. and can be watched live via pay-perview, of course. Kenny Florian and Joe Stevenson are scheduled to fight in the lightweight division on Saturday as well. Stevenson has won 34 out of 42 matches, and Florian is fairly new with only 15 matches under his belt, but he has won 12 out of those 15, so a win isn't completely impossible. For the heavyweight division, Gabriel Gonzaga and Josh Hendricks will be a nice showdown. Both are relatively the same in height, weight, and even record. This one could be a draw.
