Issues affecting students on ballots today ■ Nine state questions will be on the Oklahoma ballot, including a statewide lottery that would benefit education.

Current Composition: U.S. House: 1 Democrat, 4 Republicans State Senate: 28 Democrats, 20 Republicans State House: 53 Democrat, 48 Republicans

Oklahoma voters will go to the polls Nov. 2, not only to vote for president and congressional seats, but also on several hot-bed state questions. Two in particular, State Question No. 705 and No. 706 would allow a statewide lottery, first proposed by Gov. Brad Henry when he was elected in 2002. Also on the ballot will be State Question No. 712, which would allow electronic gaming machines in casinos and at horse tracks, with some proceeds going toward education. As the lottery proposal is written, it would earmark money toward "educational

Steven Kreidler, UCO's vice- president for finance and administration said UCO would not benefit much financially if the lottery passes. However, students eligible for the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program scholarship would see the benefits. "The lottery question is dedicated to OHLAP," Kreidler said. "It would make college affordable for more students. There's more benefit to students, than to the university." State Sen. Mark Snyder, a Republican for Dist. 41 which represents Edmond, does not think the state questions instituting a lottery is the best idea

WASHINGTON - In simple mathematics, control of the Senate goes to the party with 51 of 100 seats. But this year the Constitution, the calendar, the presidential election and a political maneuver make simple math complicated. Republicans need 50 seats to retain control after Tuesday's elections. Democrats must have 51 to take it away. If President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney are reelected, and the Senate is 50-50, Republicans would maintain control because the vice president can break a tie.

see SENATE, page 5

Students to protest presidential options ■ Only the Democratic and Republican nominees for president will be on the Oklahoma ballot, but some students have found a way to get their views across by leaving the presidential line blank.

The Nov. 2 election will present a mixed bag of presidential candidates from the known, the unknown, and a rogues gallery ranging from a porno actress, an incarcerated man and some who hope to reinstate prohibition.

Discounts are for Tuesday, Nov. 2, unless otherwise stated.

However, in Oklahoma, a state where write-in votes for president are not allowed, only two candidates will be on the ballot. "Just Bush and Kerry will be on the Oklahoma ballot," State Election Board Secretary Mike Clingman said. But that is where another option comes into play, voting "None of the Above."

CAMPUS ANNOUNCEMENTS ■ Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 2. Voters should bring a photo ID.

Rep. Wayne Pettigrew, a Republican for Dist. 39, was the author of State Question No. 712 that would enact the State-Tribal Gaming Act. He is also in favor of State Questions No. 705 and 706. Pettigrew could not speculate on the actual dollar amount that UCO would see if the lottery passed, but said that students eligible for OHLAP would see the money within the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2005. "Both the lottery and the gaming questions benefit UCO," Pettigrew said. "There will be more money for scholarships."

The NOTA 4 Oklahoma initiative, sponsored by the Green Party of Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Libertarian Party and the Constitution Party, encourages voters to vote on other issues and races, but to leave the presidential line blank. And while Clingman confirmed that write-ins would not be accepted by the optical- scan

voting procedure, voters can protest by leaving the presidential line blank. "It (the ballot) will be accepted unless you don't vote for any race," Clingman said. "If there is one race cast, it will take the ballot." In 2000, some supporters of the Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader were able to circumvent Oklahoma's

"no write-ins" measures and scribble Nader's name on the ballot. The votes did not count, however members of the GPOK could achieve a certain level of satisfaction and pride at having voted their way. Micah Gamino, a UCO journalism student and Green Party

OPINION

November 2, 2004

Quote of the day

Good for you, but where has my body armor been for the LAST FOUR MONTHS?

Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of happiness. —Lao Tzu

Today in History On this day in 1948, Harry S. Truman learned he had won the presidential election, despite editors of the Chicago Daily Tribune printing Thomas E. Dewey as the victor. Truman was presented with one of the newspapers with the infamous headline, "Dewey Defeats Truman."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the individual who composed the section titled "Where the Candidates Stand": (No byline was listed so I am unsure who to address this to). The following statements are incorrect: " John Kerry wants to overturn the ban on stem cell research." " George W. Bush instituted a strict ban on stem cell research" Both are patently wrong. There is no ban on stem cell reseach. Anyone who wants to do stem cell research can do so now. There is no ban and there are no restrictions on private research for both adult stem cell research and embryonic stem cell research. To state otherwise is a lie, plain and simple. The issue is regarding government funding of embryonic stem cell research. Kerry sup-

ports the government expanding funding of stem cell research of stem cells taken from human embryos. President Bush has limited government funding of this reseach to twenty already existing cell lines. The president opposes taking of destoying human embryos to enable research. Additionally, the entire listing appears to come from Kerry campaign materials, with none coming from the Bush side. The only non partisan information provided is the listing of the Web sites. In the future if you want to put opinion and one sided political statements, then please put them on the opinion page where they belong.

CARTOON BY ERIC OSBORN

CORRECTION It was incorrectly stated Oct. 28 that President George W. Bush instituted a strict ban on stem cell research. The ban is actually on federal funding of stem cell research. The Vista apologizes for any inconvenience of confusion this may have caused.

Sincerely,

Get out and vote

Stephen Lanier

LETTER TO THE EDITOR As I read page 5 of the October 28 edition of "TheVista", I wondered if it was a paid political ad or part of the series to inform voters on the issues. I find it ironic that Gavin D. Elliott chose this same

Millions of Americans will head to the polls today to cast their ballots. Student voters could be what tip the scales in what is being billed as the closest presidential election in recent memory. But students should be cautioned about being too overzealous about one candidate on the national level and having no knowledge of the issues that could directly impact them

the most. This year, nine questions ranging from an Oklahoma lottery to cigarette taxes to samesex marriages will be on the ballot. Before heading out to the polls, be aware of what and who you are voting for. Know the candidates and where they stand, and — most importantly — know the issues that will affect you.

THE BODY POLITICK

Mob mentality makes for a lousy voter How do you want people to think you vote? How do you want people to view the civically involved in you? Do you want people to see a religious person who votes the conscience of a church or religious group? Or maybe you want people to see you as an antiestablishment free-thinker. Would you vote differently if ballots were done in public, with your friends and peers watching? Don't let voting become pretense. I encourage everyone voting today to be selfish. Think about yourself and your family, and what would make things better for you, and what would directly impact your day.

CAMPUS QUOTES

JOSEPH WERTZ COLUMNIST Make no mistake, political parties are social clubs. They have meetings, officers, newsletters and group opinions. They, at their very nature, are elitist. If you share in certain views, you belong to a certain group. Perhaps you really do believe in the social

club, or political party, but then again you may not. Political parties stimulate ego. They prey on the desire to make others view you in a certain light. What do you think the point of those bumper stickers are? They aren't for the public, they are so the car owner can feel comfortable knowing that random people see them in a specific way. People are encouraged to be a part of a political party because of the power in numbers. A group of people can amass more clout than an individual can on their own. But there are sacrifices. There is safety in numbers, but feeling comfortable isn't what voting

the importance of voting, I am going to lose it. The spirit of voting shouldn't lie in grand visions of what your life and country could be like, but simple everyday self-centeredness. When the ink dries, are you better off for the decisions you made? Vote for yourself. You are your best representative. Don't vote how democrats or republicans tell you. When you go into the booth, forget the commercials, bumper stickers and campaign slogans. Vote as a student, parent, worker — whatever... vote for yourself, and vote as an American.

Do you think the lottery will help or hurt our state?

"I think it will help our state because it will add more mo ney to our education system."

"I think it will hurt it. Instead of people putting money into food, they will be putting it into the lottery trying to hit it big."

is about. Things aren't going to be any better just because a different social club is running things. So you better not feel relieved if your team wins some spots that have power or control. Let me fill you in on a little secret — the teams are the same. Republican or democrat, it makes no difference whatsoever. Filling the ranks of both groups are people that represent the population in words alone. Politicians combine money with words people want to hear. They want you to get the message. Can someone who isn't from our own ranks really represent the truth, as Americans know it? If I hear another idealistic view of

NEWS November 2, 2004

NEWS IN BRIEF Polls suggest higher voter turnout WASHINGTON — Voter turnout is likely to be higher than In recent presidential elections — especially among young voters — in a very close race, weekend polls suggest. Those polls suggest the race is very close nationally with some polls showing President Bush and Democratic Sen. John Kerry even and another showing Bush slightly ahead. Bush has a slight edge at 48 percent and Kerry at 45 percent in a Pew Research Center poll, while several national polls released this weekend showed the race even. New polls show Bush and Kerry knotted in key states like Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota and New Hampshire.

Bush, Kerry make most of last campaign day CINCINNATI — President Bush and Democratic challenger John Kerry swung into a frenzied last day of campaigning Monday, Bush appearing at dawn in the Midwest and Kerry stumping in Florida for the top prize in a presidential election still too close to call. Squeezing every dwindling hour for campaigning, Bush laid on a six-state, seven-stop tour stretching from early morning into late night, mostly in the Midwest. Kerry was working the heartland for a final time, too, after a morning stop in Florida, scene of the disputed 2000 vote that gave Bush the presidency.

Fresh Arnencan troops arrive m Iraq BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. troops clashed with Sunni insurgents west of the capital Monday, and gunmen assassinated Baghdad's deputy governor as fresh American soldiers arrived in the capital — reinforcements that will push U.S. military strength in Iraq to its highest level since the summer of 2003. American artillery pounded suspected insurgent positions in Fallujah, witnesses said, where U.S. forces are gearing up for an offensive if Iraqi mediation fails to win agreement to hand over foreign Arab fighters and other militants.

Bryan County ballot includes liquor- bythe- drink option DURANT, Okla. — Twenty years after Oklahomans gave counties the option of liquor by the drink, Bryan County voters will decide whether spirits can be sold by restaurants and public clubs. If approved in Tuesday's general election, Bryan County will become the 42nd county in Oklahoma to authorize liquor by the drink since voters statewide authorized it in a countyoption basis in 1984. The ballot issue is running into opposition in the county, where liquor by the drink has been rejected once before. The county voted 4,792 to 3,179 against liquor by the drink in 1985.

PROTEST from page 1 member said for this election GPOK members would not "waste their votes," by tampering with the ballot or attempting to write in the party's candidate for president, David Cobb. "With the election this close, and the country being so polarized this time around, most of us believe it would be too risky to try and write in our candidate," Gamino said. In Oklahoma, an independent or third-party candidate must receive 37,027 signatures to appear on the bal-

way for unscrupulous entities to approach schools and churches to hold raffles with no money going to education. "The minute we approve this (lottery) there will be a proliferation of lotteries," Vaughn said. "People will approach schools and churches...all 39 Indian tribes will have the right to have a lottery." Vaughn said people will be drawn toward the lottery with the biggest jackpot, and if that happens to be a lottery other than the state lottery, "students won't receive a dime," he said. Though Pettigrew argued that State Question No. 712 would funnel money from tribes and racetracks to education. "We already have legal tribal gaming due to federal regulation," Pettigrew said. If passed, Question No. 712, which would allow gaming machines at racetracks and at Indian casinos would delegate proceeds to five categories, most to racetrack owners and horseracing affiliated organizations, with an undetermined portion going for education and compulsive gambling programs. Estimates of the revenue from the lottery vary depending on who is asked. Numbers vary from a conservative $150 million each year to upward of $300 million.

Despite the actual dollar amount, if passed, schools and the OHLAP, would receive about one-third of gambling proceeds. Vaughn estimated that if the lottery brought in roughly $150 million each year, that by the time the money was taken out for education and divvied up, that UCO could expect to receive about one-quarter of a million dollars to apply toward scholarships each year. Pettigrew put the numbers more in the neighborhood of $300 million lottery revenue yearly for the state, and $70 to $100 million dollars each year would go toward education. When asked if Pettigrew believed the state lottery would pass, he confidently replied, "it won't be defeated." And if the lottery measure does not pass, Vaughn said he hoped this would be the last that Oklahoma voters would hear on the lottery question. "The citizens have said no twice," Vaughn said. "Pretty soon people get tired of seeing it again." Nevertheless Oklahomans will ultimately decide on election day if state questions No. 705 and 706 concerning a statewide lottery, pass or fail, and the future of gaming machines with question No. 712.

from page 1 Rep. Ray Vaughn, a Republican for Dist. 81, is adamantly opposed to the lottery for several reasons. "I think gambling is immoral, an unstable source of funds, it hurts lives, ruins families and is an incredible waste of money," Vaughn said. He further said that if the state questions pass, the proceeds benefiting UCO would not be worth the cost of the games, and the treatment of individuals who might suffer gambling addictions. "We've defeated it (the lottery) before by a 70 percent margin," Vaughn said. "I think the chances are looking less and less like it's going to pass." Vaughn did confirm that if the lottery passes the state will receive 30 percent of proceeds to inject into education. Of that 30 percent, Vaughn said it would be further divided so that higher education would receive 45 percent, common education 45 percent and the remaining 10 percent for school accornmodations and teacher retirement. Vaughn said the University of Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State University would receive the "lions share" of the money divided among the 28 higher education institutions in the state. Pettigrew supports a measure added to the lottery question to allow charitable raffles, though Vaughn sees it as a

New system to deter 'floating' check writers by Trisha Evans Student Writer Technological changes in the banking industry will soon affect our checking accounts. Banks began implementing the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act Oct. 28. Better known as Check 21, it is intended to update the system of processing checks to the

information age. Instead of sending the actual check itself, which costs billions to transport every year, the banks are beginning to send an electronic image of the check. As a result checks will be clearing much faster. "A lot of people like to float their checks, and that's not going to happen anymore," said Theresa, a teller at International Bank of Commerce. Float is

their lives as at all. "I have never floated a check," says Darsha Craig, also a freshmen. Check 21 requires that banks honor electronic copies of checks. "Banks have the option to electronically send checks or send paper checks," says Steve Emde who is the Branch Manager for Bank of Oklahoma in Edmond. "Electronic copies will be legally binding now," says Dr.

the delay time that has allowed consumers to write a check on Wednesday in hopes that it would not clear until they deposit their paycheck on Friday. For some students who stretch their resources too much, this new legislation might be a problem. "I write hot checks a lot," says Doni Ashcraft, a freshmen. Other students see this not affecting

Randall Ice, Chair of UCO's Finance Department. "It is definitely to the bank's advantage," says Emde. "It is going to greatly speed up the collection process." Although Bank of Oklahoma is not transmitting checks electronically Emde looks for them to in the future. When the original copy of the check is destroyed some are worried that it will affect check

fraud. However, the bank is required to keep the original copy for a certain period of time. According to Emde, since fraud depends on a paper system, "In the long run it should reduce fraud." After two years, Check 21 will be evaluated by the Federal Board of Reserves.

Presidential hopefuls prepare for election ■ President George W. Bush and Sen. John Kerry made their final stops in the last day of campaigning before the election. by The Associated Press CINCINNATI — President Bush and Democratic challenger John Kerry swung into a frenzied last day of campaigning Monday, Bush appearing at dawn in the Midwest and Kerry stumping in Florida for the top prize in a presidential election still too close to call. Squeezing every dwindling hour for campaigning, Bush laid on a six-state, seven-stop tour stretching from early morning into late night, mostly in the Midwest. Kerry was working the heartland for a final time, too, after a morning stop in Florida, scene of the disputed 2000 vote that gave Bush the presidency. In an airplane hangar in Wilmington, Ohio, Gov. Bob Taft warmed up Bush's crowd of several thousand supporters on Bush's sixth straight day in the crucial battleground state. He's putting his heart and his soul on the line for us, for our families, for our future," Taft -

said. "We have got to do the same." "I know the economy of this state has been through a lot, but we are moving in the right direction," Bush said, addressing a wider audience of people who have lost jobs in Ohio during his four years in office. "We have to keep your taxes low and I want you to remind your friends and neighbors that my opponent will raise the taxes on Ohio's families and Ohio's small businesses." Both sides had get-out-thevote armies primed for action, plus lawyers deployed across the country ready to throw any photo finish into court at the first sign of polling-place irregularities. "I expect this election is going to be decided Tuesday night," Kerry told The Associated Press on Sunday. "but,'given experience, I would be irresponsible if I wasn't prepared to be able to protect every person's right to vote." In an interview broadcast

Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America," Kerry predicted "a record turnout" and said he believed "Americans are determined not to see a repeat of 2000." Bush won the presidency in 2000 in a postelection tangle broken when the Supreme Court stopped a Florida recount. • Bush said it was vital to see a clear winner emerge election night, especially considering how closely the process is being watched around the world. "We'll see how it goes Tuesday night but I really think it's important not to have a world of lawsuits that stop the will of the people from going forward," the president told "Dateline NBC." The long, bruising campaign was finally ending, surely not a moment too soon for the combatants. Kerry occasionally coughed during his speech at a Tampa, Fla., rally Sunday night, which in the past has been an early sign of losing his

voice. Bush stocked up on lozenges and cut down or eliminated caffeine, which constricts the vocal cords, said adviser Karl Rove, who figured the president's voice would be hoarse in another day anyway. Asked what Bush is doing to save his voice, Rove cracked, "Just chewing on me less every day." Bush pitched his case for continuity in the war on terrorism before tens of thousands filling the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati on Sunday night, the fifth consecutive day he campaigned in Ohio. He planned 19 hours of campaigning Monday, beginning, again in Ohio. Traffic backed up for miles before dawn in Wilmington with thousands sitting in the jam for a chance to see the president. Sunday night, With U.S. and Iraqi forces preparing for an onslaught against the insurgent stronghold in Fallujah, Bush offered this explanation for the bloody run-up to Iraqi elections

at the end of January: "Iraq is a dangerous place today because Iraq is moving toward freedom." A bit of Ilth-hour giddiness set in: Bush advisers descended the steps of Air Force One in Cincinnati wearing camouflage jackets, a Halloween stunt tweaking Kerry for donning "cammo" to go hunting in the same state. They handed out M&Ms on the tarmac. The Democrat summed up his case before a crowd of thousands Sunday night in a Tampa park, the city's high-rise buildings as backdrop. "This is the moment to hold George Bush accountable for the deficits, for the loss of health care, for the loss of jobs, for the loss of America's influence and respect in the world," he said. "This is the moment to restore our hopes and dreams and bring back the vision of this country." Kerry told the AP that if elected he would quickly name a Cabinet and begin a "flurry of

activity" to heighten the country's security. "I'm going to make America safer and I have some very strong and real steps to take quite immediately to make that happen," Kerry said. New polls told a now-familiar story. A strong majority in a Pew Research Center survey said this election is especially important, a result that could presage a high turnout. Fully 84 percent said so, compared with only 67 percent in 2000 and 61 percent in 1996. Bush was stumping in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Iowa and New Mexico on Monday before a crowning home-state rally in Dallas and a night at his Crawford ranch. Vice President Dick Cheney flew to Hawaii for a late-night rally before heading back to the mainland early Monday. Kerry spent Sunday night in Florida, with two stops in Ohio, two in Wisconsin and one in Michigan lined up on the last day.

Oklahomans cast votes days before election ■ State Election Board Secretary Mike Clingman said he expects a near record turnout in Tuesday's election. by The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY - With high interest in the U.S. Senate race and state questions, many Oklahomans already have cast their votes by mailele6tiOn'bOii s. 3; a4 Clfilgmart,' state Election *.pard -- secretary, said "in-person" ',..11;aitie voting started with a bang friday',‘ in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman and, other locations. Clingrnan is predicting a near ;fecord. turnout for Tuesday's election, lii0,:feattires a nationally watched .eii'`.4e race and state ..questions on tambling, smoking and gay marriage. "We've had reports of much bigger ',than ever in-person absentee voting," he state election official said Iii ' Oklahoma County, more than 250 people voted during the first hour and another 100 voters were in line. "There was a half-hour wait all day 'long Friday in Oklahoma County and 'even a longer line in Tulsa," Clingman said. "The same thing in Cleveland C.,ounty.: In 'Pittsburg County, officials .said they had 400 votes by 2 p.m. and that's big for that county." Voters were allowed to cast their

ballots early Friday, Saturday and Monday at county election boards. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday at more than 2,000 precincts. Many of those going to the polls are ex • ected to be new voters. More than

before regiStration dliWd on including 39,393 Republicans, 25;506 Democrats and 12,666 independents. Clingman is expecting a turnout of between 1.3 million and 1.4 million. A record 1.391 million voters turned out for the 1992 presidential race. ,President Bush is a heavy favorite, over Democrat John Kerry. Oldahorna has not voted for a Democrat for president since 1964. U.S. Rep. Brad Carson of the 2nd District and his predecessor, 'Republican Tom Coburn, were fighting for the Senate post being vacated by Republican Don Nickles. Other reasons for predictions of a heavy turnout include a battle between Democrats and Republicans for control of the Legislature and a series of emotionally charged state questions. Gov. Brad Henry was leading the charge for passage of a state lottery, a plan to

Both candi4ates: hit the . CanliSaig,n Both trail' in buseelast.week to rally their supporters. • Coburn, 56, predicted "we're going to win this election", at the start, of a bus tour in Oklahoma City. He was joined by Nickles and other GOP congressmen from Oklahoma. The MuskOgee doctor bas, /enipliasized hiS commitment to cut' sii6nding and ease the financial woes of the Social Security and Medicare systems. Carson, 37, has vowed to press for Oklahoma's fair share of federal funding, saying the 2nd Congressional District suffered for funding under Coburn. Carson planned a get-out-the-vote rally in Oklahoma , City on Sunday after hosting a tailgate party in Stillwater with former University of Oklahoma football coach 'Barry

Switzer and former Oklahoma State coach Pat Jones. The two ex-coaches are backing the Claremore Democrat. Polls show the strong support for the Henry-backed lottery plan, State Question 705, and a companion measure su • • orters say will • rotect pro- ; ponents Mclude -church leaders and the Oklahomans for Good Government organization headed by former Rep.

Chaffin' by the Cooler

UCO misses chance to win fourthWith Brandon Chatmon straight LSC North championship

Americans have anticipated this day for weeks!!! The choices made today will have a longterm impact on the happiness of many Americans... Will Dwight Howard and J.R. Smith get enough run to compete for rookie of the year? Will Marcus Camby, Nene and K-Mart get equal playing time? Will Isiah's Knicks join the And 1 Mixtape tour??? It's NBA opening night... what else is there to talk about? It was a crazy offseason with Kobe finally getting rid of Shaq, K-Mart heading west and TMac and Steve "the Franchise" swapping teams. The NBA is as wide open than ever... granted EVERYBODY said the Lakers were locks to win last year, but that's another column for another day. East Atlantic (in order of finish) Boston- They have athletes and look at the rest of this division... N.Y. Knicks- if they were on the And 1 mixtape tour... OH BABY.. in the league.. OH *$&%! Toronto- Vince wants out... I guess what people say bout Canadian healthcare is true... Philadelphia- AI and... how old are Allen II and Isaiah (his sons)? Are they draft-eligible yet? New Jersey- Hopefully box of trading cards they got for K-mart has a LeBron rookie card! Central Detriot- They "play the right way". Indiana- Jermaine's not the best O'Neal in the East anymore. Cleveland- Flight #23 would be better if they still served "Booze". Milwaukee- If T.J. Ford gets healthy... lookout!! Chicago- Last year I had them making the playoffs... good thing I picked the Steelers last week. Credibility.... RESTORED!! Southeast Miami- The Diesel and Dwyaywyneywnye Wade... scary! Orlando- If Grant's ankle holds up... wait, didn't I say that last year... Washington- At least Gilbert Arenas is fun to watch. Atlanta- Al Harrington and Antoine Walker on the same squad. In related news, the Hawks have hired a masseuse who specializes in right arm fatigue. Charlotte- (blank)

Mart might be the best addition of the offseason. Utah- Jerry Sloan actually has some talent now. Portland- Poor Sebastian, please pray for his soul. Seattle- Will only have a impact on the NBA season if Ray Allen goads Kobe into a seasonending altercation. Southwest San Antonio- Tim Duncan and Co. add Brent Barry to the mix. And Shaq's gone! Houston- People don't understand how complete a player T-Mac is, they will in a couple months... Dallas- They are putting t00000 much stock into getting Erick Dampier... And?!?! Memphis- Still looking for that differencemaker... New Orleans- "But New Orleans isn't even west of the Mississippi...," Byron Scott said between sobs. Pacific Sacramento- Peja and C-Webb can't get along... really? Why not they both disappear in the playoffs with the game on the line... L.A. Lakers- "If we can get Vlade to cut down to two packs a day and get Chris Mihm to... urn... can we do the offseason over again?" Jerry Buss said. Phoenix- Who in their right mind would give Steve Nash over $60 million, I can't imagine anybody doing something like that. L.A. Clippers- Well Kobe, what if we could come up with a system where you play for the Lakers one month, then us the next month... Golden State- I thought people associated with Stanford were smart... Rookie of the Year: Devin Harris, Dallas Harris is one of the best rookies in the league and he's going to a team that needs him to step in and play well. Jason Terry ain't a point guard... MVP: Shaquille O'Neal, Miami Hey all Shaq actually has to worry about this season is winning games. No more drama! Coach of the Year: Flip Saunders, Minnesota. If Minnesota wins the West that means Flip smoothed over Spree, "Sam I am" enough to mold a team that plays together.

West Northwest Minnesota- If Spree keeps complaining, the Wolves might not win this division. Denver- Oh, so that's why he's so Melo... K-

"We played really good as a team except in that second game, we just kind of let down on our passing," Kim Morgal said. Morgal sparked UCO with three services aces for the early six-point advantage. "We are the type of team that if our passing doesn't work everything else doesn't work either," Morgal said. In game two UCO came within four with score 21-25 but MSU kept the lead to earn the victory. Game three was in reach of both squads early. MSU tied it up at 11 before Whiteley jolted three kills starting an 8-0 Central run, earning UCO a 30-24 victory. The Indians tried to rally in the fourth game leading, 16-14. Morgal and Lacie Allen registered two kills apiece in a five-point stretch as Central took the lead for good at 19-16 before wrapping up the .30-25 triumph. Defeating MSU gave the Bronchos their fifth-straight 20-win season. "Games one, three, and four were played well, game two we

kind of laid back a little bit. They run a kind of fast-paced outside offense, it was pretty tough to stop it, you've got to jump out early on them, they were pretty successful at hitting the ball outside, once we made a few adjustments we were able to close them out," Head Coach Jeff Boyland said. Schult led the Bronchos with 23 kills. Schult said, "Collectively as a team we did really well, the first game we came out and we executed on passing which is huge for our team, we had ball control, they couldn't stop us, the second game we let up a little too much." Emily Whiteley had 19 kills and posted .500 for the fifth time in eight matches with 15 digs. Morgal had 15 kills. Wascovich contributed with nine kills, while Allen added 15 digs and seven kills.

Beard baffles Bronchos UCO can still earn a share of the LSC North title with a win over rival Northeastern State on Saturday by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor

for a 42-yard touchdown. The Bronchos forced SOSU into a punting situation on their next drive but the Savages faked the punt, with Beard running for five yards on 4th-and3. After the conversion, Beard found Derek Hixon for threestraight completions. Hixon's catches for 19 yards, 12 yards and a 11-yard touchdown were his only catches of the game. UCO marched right back down the field to cut the lead back to 38-28. Allgood zipped a pass through the SOSU secondary finding Zach Edwards on a post route for a 19-yard TD with 2:12 left in the third quarter. But the Savages scored 17 answered points in the fourth to complete their upset bid. Beard hit King for a 20-yard touchdown pass and Cuva hit a 30-yard field goal to secure a 48-28 lead. Savage Defensive End Noble Polk went 48 yards for a touchdown as he weaved his way to the endzone after intercepting a pass with 25 seconds left.

Central was held to 71 rushing yards (2.1 per carry) and committed 12 penalties for 97 yards. In a game of big-plays, neither team had a scoring drive of over 4:30. Allgood threw for 293 yards on 23-of-43 attempts with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Kevin McKenzie rushed for 61 yards on 14 carries. Verrett finished with 122 yards on seven catches. Edwards had nine receptions for 101 yards. Uriah Matthew was all over the field for the Bronchos defensively, finishing with 15 tackles. Fred Shaw added nine. Bernard Moore had an interception and four tackles. SOSU travels to East Central in a critical LSC North battle Saturday, while the Bronchos will be at Northeastern State. Northeastern is 0-9 overall and 0-4 in the North. With a victory, UCO will share the North title with the winner of Southeastern/East Central.

Drew Beard displayed why he was named Lone Star Conference North Preseason Player of the Year as he led Southeastern Oklahoma to a 5528 upset of No.9-ranked Central Oklahoma at Wantland Stadium on Oct. 30. Beard, a 2003 Harlon Hill (Division II national player of year) finalist, proved unstoppable throughout the game, accounting for five total touchdowns. Beard passed for 367 yards on 20-of-33 attempts and rushed for 106 yards on 19 carries. SOSU (7-2 overall, 3-1 in North) gained 555 offensive yards, averaging 7.9 yards per play and converted 7-of-8 redzone chances. The win moved the SOSU into a tie atop the North division with UCO (7-2, 3-1) and East Central. The Savages scored 21 unanswered points to start the game. Beard opened the scoring with a 7-yard touchdown run. Photo by Galin D. Elliott On the first play of the second quarter, Melissa Terry battles a opponent in a Bronchos game earlier this season. Beard found Michael Mooney streaking down the middle for a 71-yard touchdown and a 14-0 Savage lead.
