UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA

Edmond council approves UCO facility at Arcadia Lake University and city will share use of outdoor recreation area

by Brett Deering Vista Staff Writer UCO's plans for a water sports and outdoor education facility at Arcadia Lake sailed through the Edmond City Council by a unanimous vote, Oct. 24.

"I believe Lake Arcadia offers an array of opportunity for the community," said Wayne Page, Ward 1 Edmond city councilman.

"Currently, it is under utilized and should be a recreation area for more people and more uses."

"It will truly be a community center," said Mike Herrin, director of the UCO Wellness Center.

"We think that it's going to be a great partnership for the university and the city."

national "Make a Difference Day," by volunteering at the Regional Food Bank, Infant Crisis. Services, Jesus House, three Goodwill stores, and South Lindsay Baptist Church in Oklahoma City.

Liz Kiser, Campus Life volunteer coordinator, said there was a waiting list of people wanting to participate in the event.

Kaiser said she is trying to figure out why so few people actually came. She said she informed the presidents of the organizations that they will not get organizational credit if they did not actually work.

"We didn't get the turnout we wanted or we were hoping for," said Liliana Vargas, finance junior and president of the Hispanic American Student Association.

Bruce Edwards, who works for Urban Harvest at the Regional Food Bank, said they had expected 50 people but only 15, mostly from HASA, worked. He said several students came briefly and left after the facility tour.

The students who stayed helped harvest vegetables and

prepare the gardens of the Regional Food Bank for winter.

The food grown will feed hungry Oklahoma families for free, said Edwards said.

Holly Sapp, associate director of the Baptist Collegiate Ministries, said 23 people helped paint curbs around South Lindsay Baptist Chruch in Oklahoma City. They also painted a house for a woman from the church.

Five students did inventory work at Infant Crisis Services where they also checked expiration dates on the baby formula, said Krystle Nelson, interior design and English education senior.

Eight students showed up to volunteer at three Goodwill stores.

"Seven students were supposed to work, but only one showed up," said Mistie Kuykendall, general manager of the Britton Road Goodwill store.

"The ones that did show up are making a difference," said Chris Kirby, Urban Harvest director.

Plans under way to publish African journal each semester

by Trisha Evans Vista Senior Staff Writer

UCO students are planning an African journal to address social, political and economic issues in African countries.

The journal will be published once a semester and contain articles on issues like poverty, AIDS and child soldiers, said Michael Mugo, actuarial science senior and managing editor of the journal.

Mugo first got the idea from his friend, who worked on a similar journal at Stanford University. He said the UCO journal will be patterned after the Stanford journal, Sauti, the Swahili word for voice.

Mugo said the journal will educate students and increase awareness about problems in Africa.

"There is a lot of ignorance in America about Africa," Mugo said.

He said tribalism is a major issue in Kenya, where he is from.

"When you go to the rural

will also be taught at the facility.

Kreidler said NCAA competition crew and water ski teams are possibilities with the new complex. "Nothing is for sure, because that's all part of fundraising. But if our students want to form a crew-club, that could someday lead to athletic competition," he said.

Kreidler said the design of the 4,000 square-foot facility is patterned after east-coast 'crew' boat designs, with a highpeaked roof for boat storage.

"It's basically the same design as the University of Virginia's or Harvard's boat-house," he said.

Kreidler said private funding will continue on the facility and is projected to open in summer 2007. He said that with the surplus funds from the construction of the Wellness Center, no new student fees will be allocated.

"These (fees) have been paid for and are already in the bank,"

Alcohol, sex awareness project planned during run of upcoming play

by Courtney Bryce Vista Staff Writer Theatre students will be teaming up with Bacchus, an organization aimed at preventing alcohol misuse, to promote the upcoming play "Pterodactyls" by passing out information about various issues including AIDS and alcoholism Oct. 31 through Nov. 2 in the Nigh University Center.

Daisy Bristow, play director and theatre instructor, said "Pterodactyls" addresses social issues including AIDS, alcoholism and homosexuality.

"They (students) will be able to receive information over drugs and alcohol to help guide them to promote healthier life styles," Bristow said.

Bristow said she had already collaborated with on-campus nurse and health-educator Misha Mowdy on a different project for alcohol awareness.

"I figured since alcohol and AIDS were involved (in

the play) it would be good to call her for health education," Bristow said.

Mowdy said this is the first time she and Bacchus have collaborated with the theatre department to promote a play.

"It will be a great venue and a great way to reach people," Mowdy said.

Mowdy said a table will be set up where students can pick up pamphlets on various topics including tips on responsible drinking and how to get tested for AIDS. "Basically, we're just backing up the play with information," Mowdy said.

Bristow said condoms will also be available at the table.

"Because we're focusing on AIDS awareness there will be condoms and literature on how to properly protect yourself," Bristow said.

Mowdy said the condoms will not be "passed out" but

Former UCO Pom Pon members will dance for Hornets Dancers chosen in top ten from pool of 180 Honeybee Dance Team hopefuls

"But (Hornet's) games are on Wednesday and that's when UCO practiced."

Parker said it was obvious she wouldn't be able to do both and she eventually told Owens that she had to quit.

"I was kind of nervous at first, but he was totally understandable," Parker said.

Reazin said she talked to Brooke Wilson, spirit coordinator for Campus Life.

Judge Alito replaces Miers as Supreme Court Nominee

Right applauds Coburn for taking on 'pork' in Washington Editor's nate: The contributors to the Toss-Up agreed to a column from the right this week and a column from the left Nov. 8.

"If the voters really understood what we were up to they'd vote us out of office," Senator Robert Byrd once said. A few weeks ago, the public got a glimpse on what really goes on in Congress thanks to Senator Tom Coburn.

The culture on Capitol Hill for a long time has been to set aside money for special projects that only benefit a politician's district such as a museum dedicated to the evolution of household appliances or a random grant to study if cow manure really adds to the destruction of the ozone layer. These projects, often referred to as pork, are helpful in reelecting members of Congress, but only add to the deficit. The underlying rule in Congress has been not to criticize one's pork.

Senator Coburn decided to break that rule.

Last week, Coburn joined with six other senators dubbing themselves

1994, government spending has exponentially increased as well as the deficit. So much for fiscal

appropriations bill on the Senate floor, Coburn attempted to add three amendments that caused a firestorm from his distinguished colleagues. The amendments were intended to redirect funding to the hurricane ravaged Gulf Coast. One amendment took on the "bridge to nowhere" in Alaska that will connect 50 people to the mainland of Alaska and costs 223 million dol-

Louisiana.

The distinguished senator from Alaska, Mr. Ted Stevens, then threw a tantrum threatening to resign if the measure passed. Unfortunately, only 15 members voted for the amendment. Later, Coburn took on a sculpture garden in Washington, a parking lot in Nebraska and an animal shelter Rhode Island. All of Coburn's measures, how-

the Fiscal Watch Team proposed a package of spending cuts that will save 130 billion dollars for the next two years.

I wholeheartedly applaud Coburn's efforts. It is high time that Congress reign in spending. Democrats are often slammed for their tax and spend policies, however, the numbers show that ever since the Republicans took control of the House in

conservatives.

The party that once nominated Barry Goldwater as its presidential nominee now embraces big government to solve all its problems. God only knows how the American people are going to pay for all the programs that Congress has put into place. This only exacerbates the Social Security solvency crisis. Note to young people: Don't count

on a Social Security check when you retire. Congress has already spent it.

Though Coburn's amendments may have • crashed and burned, the Senator showed light on a destructive practice. The American people now have decision to make.

Should they continue to vote in fiscally irresponsible politicians or finally hold them accountable?

Even if Coburn might be known for some odd statements ranging from lesbianism in the Colgate school system to the safety of breast implants, he should should commended for his courageous stance.

"It's a fine line between passing them out and making them available," Mowdy said. "We do make them available. It (UCO) is a public institution."

Mowdy said she will refer students that need professional help to clinics and places that offer free HIV testing.

"We are not going to be set up to council," Mowdy said. "It's about the play and health education factors about the play."

Mowdy said many students turn to sex, drugs and alcohol because of stress and relationship problems.

"A lot of times they (students) are using them (sex, drugs, etc) as a crutch or escape from something," Mowdy said. "Many start from peer pressure and it escalates."

Mowdy said she thinks the play will make an impact even though she hasn't seen it yet.

"I think anytime you present something to a group or audience it makes them conscious of the subject and how it starts out innocently," Mowdy said.

School of Music's F Clef Recital will feature all bass at Jazz Lab

by Courtney Bryce Vista Staff Writer

Faculty and students will play music at an all time 'low' using only bass clef instruments in the School of Music's "F Clef Recital" at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 1 in the UCO Jazz Lab. Dr. Lori Wooden, music professor and coordinator of the event, said she came up with the idea to have a recital using only low-sounding instruments including the tuba, cello, trombone and bassoon.

"I open it up to any faculty that want to and are free to play," Wooden said.

Wooden said this year she even opened it up to a few

students.

"It's a great chance to collaborate and play together. We're just making music together," Wooden said. "That's what we do. It's also a good opportunity for our students to hear us perform."

Wooden said she will be playing the contrabassoon.

"A contrabassoon is probably the lowest pitch woodwind instrument," Wooden said. "It's simply a double bassoon. It's twice as long."

Dr. Tess Remy-Schumacher, associate music professor, said both she and the cello ensemble she teaches will also be perfonn ing.

"It's an amazing sound when

you have eight low string players playing together," RemySchumacher said.

Remy-Schumacher said she has studied music in Germany and England and taught for six years at a University in Australia.

"I've never seen this (bass clef recital) anywhere," RemySchumacher said. "It's a really wonderful way to make music."

Remy-Schumacher said she thinks it motivates the students if the faculty stays active in performances.

See 'Saw' for predictable surprises, BASS from page 3 blood, blood, blood and more blood

by Nathan Winfrey Vista Staff Writer "Saw II," the unnecessary but in some ways superior sequel to last year's sleeper hit "Saw," is like "Home Alone" for sadists. If you're considering buying a ticket, imagine that little Macaulay Culkin went nuts after defending his home from the would-be burglars and moved on to more fatal booby traps, exchanging his paint cans and little toy cars for cleverlyrigged guns and incinerators.

In this go 'round, hardboiled detective Eric Mason (Donnie Walhberg, brother of Mark and the less recognizable Wahlberg refugee from "New Kids on the Block") races against time to save his son from psychopathic serial killer Jigsaw, as the delinquent youth has become one of many strangers trapped in a deadly house filled with slowacting nerve gas and enough dangerous objects to put Wile E. Coyote to shame.

The trapped characters do not work well together. They are selfish, secretive and do not get along with each other. This is not a flaw in the writing; on the contrary, it is likely how a house full of desperate strangers with hours to live would act in real life. Especially if you're a fan of TV's "Survivor," it is interesting to watch the backstabbing (and sometimes bludgeoning) that occurs between the contestants in Jigsaw's game.

For better or worse, it's a lot more commercial than its predecessor, exchanging a winding, Swiss cheese plot and terrible acting for a far more cutand-dried purpose and the star power of (at best) a second-rate

primetime TV police drama.

But with the increased budget and streamlined premise comes trouble. We see only snippets of the disgusting "charm" that made the original such a hit, and gives a nagging feeling that you're watching a dumbed-down tangent sprung from the original with less care and precision than a barber trimming a moustache with a sledge

Micha el (Noam Jenkins) struggles with a mask most foul from the maniacal Jigsaw, the villain In "Saw II."

hammer.

Walhberg holds the cast together as the detective, with a totally out-of-place Beverley Mitchell, the little blond girl from "7th Heaven," playing a not-so-innocent victim and Shawnee Smith, the secretary from TV's "Becker," returning as igsaw survivor Amanda, rounding out the recognizables.

Tobin Bell also returns as the diabolical madman, watching the brutality from afar via closed-circuit TV. Bell is by far the best actor on set, and his performance is so creepy

and convincing that it nears the Christopher Walken zone.

"Saw II" develops characters with more subtlety that can be expected from a movie of this type, providing histories and reasons for us to care for many of the victims even if some of the performances are flat.

In typical sequel fashion, the body count is higher, which certainly is not a complaint.

People don't see movies like this to savor witty dialogue or ponder subtle social commentary; they pay their $6.50 or more to see splashes of blood, bloody stumps and mutilated bodies, things the "Saw" franchise delivers in droves.

I did feel that writers Darren Lynn Bousman (who also directed) and Leigh Whannel I wasted some of the deaths, incorporating a "she died somehow" approach for one of the characters and some other tallies on the death toll that I thought were unimaginative cop-outs.

Something that the "Saw" movies do well is invent horrible experiences for the characters to endure. The writers' creativity in this aspect is scary, as each elaborate death trap consistently makes audiences cringe and those with weak stomachs reach for a paper bag.

Most of the "surprises" are obvious from a mile away, but the ones that count will likely catch you completely off guard.

The writers cleverly weave this new story in with the first, even tying up some loose ends left by its predecessor. The ending proves there's plenty more mileage left for this series, should the filmmakers choose to continue, and something tells me they will.

lence in your performance," Remy-Schumacher said.

Wooden said the only theme of the recital is that the instruments are in the bass clef.

"It's everyone's personal choice (on pieces), which is what makes it interesting," Wooden said. -It's open-ended and you never know what it's going to be."

Wooden said she started doing this recital in 2001.

Grady County authorities recaptured one of two men who escaped from the county jail early Monday.

Sheriff's deputies found Timmy Owen, 25, hiding in a house in Chickasha about 11:15 a.m. Monday, Undersheriff Irene Perske said.

Owen and Ronald Johnson, 33, overpowered a guard and used a rope made out of bed sheets to escape just after midnight Monday, Perske said.

Johnson remained on the

loose Monday afternoon.

The jailer wasn't seriously injured.

Owen was being held on domestic abuse and aggravated assault charges.

Johnson is a black male, 5 feet 9 inches tall, about 150 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He has a tattoo of the word "loco" on his right arm, Perske said.

Johnson was being held on a bond revocation for a drug charge.

Perske said a weapon wasn't used in the escape, but that Johnson should be considered armed and dangerous.

"Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" is as much fun as the title suggests, and packed with banter that rolls off the tongue just as easily.

Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer _ known for their strong personalities both on and off screen _ bounce off each other with the ease and comfort of an old comedy team. The delivery is often so quick and deadpan, you may have to go back and see it a second time, just to catch the lines you missed while you were laughing.

Downey plays thief-turnedactor Harry Lockhart, who unexpectedly finds himself cast as a detective in a movie screen test; Kilmer is a private eye known as Gay Perry (because

he's gay, hence the name), who works as a Hollywood consultant and has been hired to train him.

Together they end up having to solve a real murder in Los Angeles with the help of Harmony Faith Lane (the kittenish Michelle Monaghan), a femme fatale/wannabe actress who happens to have been Harry's childhood crush when they were growing up in a small Indiana town _ with dreams of stardom, naturally.

It would appear that all the elements are in place for a stylish, old-school film noir, but writer Shane Black, directing for the first time, subverts the genre while simultaneously embracing it. That idea alone could have been overbearingly smug in its self-aware hipness; look no further than the title, which the film shares with a collection of reviews by none other than the late, great Pauline Kael.

Instead, the result is a comedythriller hybrid that's silly, smart and never, ever dull.

This should come as no surprise coming from Black, who pioneered the concept of such cinematic cross-pollination when he wrote the original "Lethal Weapon," a mix of fast-paced action and even faster laughs, of two cops with nothing in common but the bad guys they're chasing. "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" is, however,

surprising in itself _ or at least in the absurdity of some of its imagery.

Just to give you an idea, this is a movie in which a woman's body is wrapped in a sheet, dropped from the roof of a boutique hotel, then shoved in the trunk of a car _ and it's played for laughs. It's a movie in which a character's finger is cut off not once but twice before being consumed by a shaggy dog who presumes it's a treat _ then gets a sad, needy hug from the finger's former owner. It's a movie that features a barely seen supporting figure named Flicka, seemingly for the sole purpose of setting up a "My Friend Flicka" joke.

Harry, as our narrator "My name is Harry Lockhart, I'll be your narrator," he congenially announces at the film's start _ is fully aware of the conventions of the hard-boiled detective tale he inhabits, and he's aware that we're aware of them, too. And he has such a good time playing with them, it's impossible not get swept up in the movie's manic energy.

Harry and Gay Perry naturally don't like each other at first, but even the way they argue has a certain fondness about it.

"Stop dripping," Perry suggests matter-of-factly when a soaking-wet Harry drips all over the interior of his car. "Die," is the cheery way he bids Harry good

night.

The beauty of the way Perry is written _ and the way Kilmer plays him _ is that he's never a flamboyant stereotype; he's a veteran detective who just happens to like other men. And it's easy to forget that long before his better-known heavy roles in movies like "The Doors," The Saint" and "Wonderland," Kilmer got his start with rapidfire comedies in the mid-'80s like "Top Secret" and "Real Genius."

Downey, meanwhile, has always shown himself to be a master of dry, low-key humor look at "Wonder Boys," the underappreciated "Two Girls and a Guy" or his Emmy-nominated supporting work on "Ally McBeal." He's an ideal fit for this kind of role: a sort of damaged figure whose dark sense of humor keeps him together.

"Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang," gets too dark itself toward the end, in a way that makes it feel like an entirely different movie, and seems irretrievable. But it recovers, and ultimately goes out with a bang.

"Kiss Kiss, Bang Barig," a Warner Bros. Pictures release, is rated R for language, violence and sexuality/nudity. Running time: 103 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Bronchos top ASU for second straight title

The UCO football team was defeated 31-24 Oct. 29

by Southeastern Oklahoma at Paul Laird Field in Durant, Okla.

The loss drops the Bronchos to 2-7 on the season and 2-6 in Lone Star Conference play.

The Bronchos racked up 425 yards of offense to the Savages' 351, and scored 21 points in the fourth quarter.

But turnovers and misfires doomed the Bronnchos as they dropped their third straight.

UCO wide receiver Fred Shaw led the Broncho offense, catching nine passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns.

The Bronchos will close the season Nov. 5 at Wantland Stadium when they host Northeastern State University at 6 p.m.

In last Thursday's Vista, in a story about UCO chemistry professor Dr. John Bowen, it was reported that Bowen proposed the forming of an outdoor adventure program at UCO. In fact, such a program already exists. It was started by Fred Fieth of the UCO Wellness Center, and includes the new Ropes Course.

Bowen's proposal was to expand the outdoor program to include more trips for climbing, rafting, etc.

The UCO soccer team defeated Angelo State 2-1 Oct. 30 at Tom Thompson Field. The victory gives the Bronchos their second consecutive Lone Star Conference Championship and the fourth in six years.

The Bronchos led the entire game, but nearly gave it up near the end when ASU scraped for the comeback.

"Mentally, we just let down for a little bit," Head Coach Mike Cook said. "And that's the thing, it's 90 minutes long. We gotta play for 90 minutes."

UCO's Marissa Terry scored the first goal of the game, giving the Bronchos the early advantage at the 19:21 mark in the first half. Two passes from Lacy Cooley and Moriah Chinnock provided Terry the chance and she knocked it

home.

At the 39:45 mark in the second half, Carmen Davis scored off a rebound of a shot by Anna Snedeker to give the Bronchos a 2-0 lead.

Angelo State's offense strained, only attempting six shots on goal for the entire game. But with 19 minutes remaining, the Rambelles managed a goal from Angela Chavez, who slipped it past UCO goalkeeper Rebekah Svensson. The Rambelles fought hard in the remaining minutes to tie the game, but could not make it happen.

The victory improves the Bronchos' overall season record to 14-3-1 and 8-01 in the Lone Star Conference.

UCO is ranked number one and is hosting the Lone Star Conference Tournament Nov. 3-6. Two first-round games are scheduled for Thursday, followed by the semi-final round Friday and the finals Sunday.
