Pioneer FOOTBALL PROGRAM HIT WITH PENALTIES reporter speaks at UCO by No Lupov Staff Writer "I believed that women had to outwork the man," Pam Henry, the first female reporter and anchor in Oklahoma said during a speech Oct. 29 in UCO's Communications building. Dressed in a blue Hawaiian shirt sitting in a power wheelchair, Henry was illustrating her colorful biography as she was the producer of a famous late night talk show. The class, which was spread throughout the auditorium, had the chance to meet one of the broadcasting pioneers in Oklahoma. Henry worked as a producer, public affairs program host and capital reporter. She is best remembered as manager of news and public affairs at OETA where she worked for 16 years prior to her retirement. "I had to retire and it broke my heart," she said. Born in 1950 with polio syndrome, as a child she did not let the circumstances take control of her life. "I was a strong swimmer (as fast as the boys) due to the strength in my arms from the crutches," said Henry, adjusting her body in the wheelchair without an effort.

UCO head football coach Chuck Langston tries to motivate the team during a time-out at the Homecoming game at Wantland Stadium Sept. 22. by Hannah Jackson Staff Writer UCO submitted a response to allegations of potential violations of NCAA regulations by the football program on Nov.2. The response included notification that the UCO program will adhere to selfimposed penalties, regardless of the outcome of a meeting with the Committee on

Infractions, which will occur in December. The response included acknowledgement that mistakes were made within the program, especially areas of oversight and program monitoring. The information included in the response was the result of an internal investigation led by university lawyer, J. Brad Morelli. UCO also hired two Oklahoma

City lawyers as outside counsel, Toby Baldwin, to aid the internal investigation and Charlie Babb, who held an advisory position. The information submitted will be used to assist the NCAA in determining the outcome of the allegations. "I am personally committed to the principle of institutional control and am disappointed with what

occurred in our football program two years ago," said UCO President W. Roger Webb. The self-imposed penalties include a 3-year probation of the football program, which will force certain restrictions on the team regarding NCAA play-offs, said Charles Johnson, UCO News Bureau Director. UCO will also voluntarily

forfeit two football scholarships. Johnson explained that UCO, as a Division II school, uses equivalency scholarships. Equivalency scholarships can be divided among players, each getting a certain percentage. For instance, the average UCO scholarship player receives 30 to 50 percent. Therefore, two scholar-

Immigration law provokes protests Miss Asian UCO to be crowned Nov. 10

by AP Writer OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Two Catholic priests are comparing illegal immigrants to Oklahoma's early settlers in a new twist to arguments against deporting the illegals to Mexico and other countries. After all, the priests say, the original "Sooners" broke the rules when they slipped into the state early to claim free land on April 22, 1889, ahead of the "Boomers," who stayed at the border until signaled across. The Rev. Michael Chapman and the Rev. Don Wolf evoked Oklahoma history as they spoke to hundreds ofmostly Hispanic legal and illegal immigrants who gathered at the Capitol on Thursday to protest the immigration law's implementation. "You are beginning a new page in the 100-year Boomer-Sooner legacy," said Chapman, pastor of the Holy Angels Catholic Church in Oklahoma City. "We are so proud of our legal-illegal heritage. We've got to find a way to incorporate that into our laws in Oklahoma." Oklahoma "defines itself by those who settled here illegally," said Wolf, pastor of mostly Spanish-speak-

MeShawn Conley, director of UCO's Multicultural Student Services, believes that leadership initiatives such as Meyer's fashion show is a great example of how the students who have held the title have worked to serve as leaders both here at UCO and in surrounding communities, which helps contribute to the growing participation in the pageant. "The increase in interest in this pageant has so much to do with the wonderful young ladies who have served in the role of Miss Asian UCO," Conley said in a statement to University Relations. "They have actively shared their stories with other girls and have become the type of queens that people respect and admire." In a statement to University Relations, Myers, a senior psychology major, said that as Miss Asian UCO she has tried to attend as many multicultural activities on campus as possible so that she can open herself up to all of the different cultures at UCO.

chain in Oklahoma has seen a loss of about $300,000 per month in sales. Latinos have disappeared from public eye because of their fear of deportation. Many companies that are losing either Latino employment or business are suffering. Employees must remove all illegal immigrant employees by June 2008. Otherwise, the employee could be charged with a federal offense. Even more overwhelming is the fact that housing or transporting illegal immigrants can also lead to a federal charge. Aiding and abetting a Latino — imagine that permanently on your record.

To those immigrants affected by this bill, thank you for your economic assistance. We'd now like to make you outlaws.

Chartwells expands healthy options in their meal plans by Aaron Wright Managing Editor When questioned about the cuisine in the cafeteria, several residential students felt that their options should be healthier. Jennifer Yeaman, director of marketing for Chartwells, the food provider for the university, is dedicated to giving these students what they want. "My goal and my theme this year is to focus on health and fitness," she said. To promote this concept, Chartwells has adopted many new programs. One of the programs, Meatless Monday, encourages students to forego from eating meat for one day a week. Yeaman said this program has already been implemented, but she wants to promote it more to students. This program is a national health campaign in association with Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The goal is to reduce consumption of saturated fat by at least 15 percent by 2010. It is not a promotion of the vegetarian lifestyle. Fish and seafood are not taken into consideration as part of this program. Only red meat, poultry and high-fat dairy products are affected. For Super Food Friday, a food that falls under the category of "super food," based on it's nutritional content, is selected and promoted every month. On Fridays, this food is served in a variety of ways. November's super food is

winter squash and December's super food is cranberries. Balanced Choice boards are also available to get students more interested in health. For this program, boards are set up every month in the Central Cafeteria and Central Plaza dining areas with health information. In the pockets of these boards are information about super foods and nutrigrams. Nutrigrams are similar to mini excerpts from newsletters. They contain information on the health benefits of certain foods. During this month, coffee will be discussed. All of these programs are developed by a team of nutritionists and chefs. Their services are available due to a partnership between the company that owns Chartwells and Johnson and Wales, a college of culinary arts. These chefs have also compiled a recipe book with lots of options for educational cafeterias. Specific lists of . healthier recipes are called the balanced choice menu. Chartwells recently completed the Clean Your Plate initiative in October, which encouraged students to reduce the amount of food wasted each week by 15 percent. Each week the goal was met, Chartwells donated cans to Britville Pantry, a partner with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. Yeaman said this program not only helped

reduce waste, but also promoted smaller portion sizes. Coming up from Nov. 12 through Nov. 16 is Total Health Week. During this week, food off of the balanced choice menu will primarily be served. This eliminates foods like hamburgers and anything that has been deep fried. "We're worried there's going to be a revolt if we pull all that for a week," Yeaman said. She explained that they are just asking students to reach outside their comfort zone and try new types of food. Along with the balanced choice menu options, Total Health Week will also be celebrated with door prizes and raffles. Yeaman said they are also working on getting one of the cooks from Legends to give a demonstration cooking class. Pulse on Dining is an initiative by Chartwells to give residential dining facilities more of a restaurant feel. UCO wants to adopt this program and make changes for on campus dining. Yeaman said in the next few weeks, students should expect changes concerning the look of the places they eat at. One such change is new dishes which should be here by the weekend after Thanksgiving. She noted that they wanted to eliminate the mix-and-match of plates. "We're trying our best to jazz it up the best we can," she said. Recent changes include

Some decorative items, such as signs, have to maintain a certain look for corporate standards, but much of the design scheme is open for change. Other future plans for the food service include getting organic food introduced on the menu. Adwalla, a brand of smoothies and meal replacement bars have already been introduced on campus about a week ago. Yeaman said they are selling very quickly. She has already had trouble locating her favorite flavor, the wheat grass smoothie, because they are sold out.

Student opinion is also important to the company as they continue to revamp their dining service on campus. Surveys are continually being given to students to obtain their views. Several additions in the past, such as the implementation of a sushi bar, have been made as a direct result of expressed student wants. "There are a lot of resources we have that I really want to promote," said Yeahman. She voiced that the biggest problem she has is distributing and promoting the information to students who have meal plans. Currently, she uses newsletters, word-

of-mouth, advertising and boards in the dining facilities. She mentioned that she is looking for an intern. "We're just trying to build relationships with different organizations here on campus," she said. Chartwells is a part of a company called Compass Groups. This company services both primary and secondary educational institutes throughout North Am erica and the United Kingdom.

Pakistan's top military official declares emergency rule by Abha Eli Phoboo Staff Writer Pakistan's General Pervez Musharraf, Saturday night, declared an emergency rule citing dangers posed by extremists in the country. He fired the supreme court judge, suspended the constitution and banned private television news channels and monitored international broadcasts. "Pakistan's sovereignty is in danger unless timely action is taken," said Musharraf in a televised address. "Extremists are roaming around freely in the country and they are not scared of law-enforcement agencies...Inaction at this moment is suicide for Pakistan and I cannot allow this country to commit suicide." Musharraf is Washington's strongest ally in the war against terrorism, yet this new turn of events puts President George W. Bush and the U.S. government in a tight spot. Media reports President Bush calling for a quick return to civilian rule and the release of detainees in Pakistan. "Frankly, there is little the U.S. can do to influence what is going on in Pakistan today. Pakistan is a critical actor in supporting the mission of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan, as well as trying to apprehend remnants of AI-Qaeda. Withdrawing support from Pakistan would put at risk both of those operations. We can seek to influence what happens next, but threatening to end the material support we provide to the

Pakistani government is not a very viable option," says Louis Furmanski, UCO professor of political Science. In his Newsweek column, "Dancing with the Dictator," Michael Hirsch says, "Washington doesn't have many friends left to call on in Pakistanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;perhaps the No. 1 generator of anti-U.S. terrorism in the world today." Many political analysts agree that the U.S. stand on Pakistan and Musharraf's actions makes the commitment toward democracy seem hypocritical. "We are, unfortunately, backed into a corner where we are seen as support a military dictatorship at the same time that we say we are promoting democracy in the region. Our hypocrisy is clear for all to see. Hopefully a Pandora's box that could inflame the wider region has not been opened," adds Furmanski. The United States and the United Kingdom have expressed concern over the situation in Pakistan. The BBC has quoted Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as saying that the declaration of emergency was "highly regrettable and asked Pakistan to hold free and fair elections. British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, to the same news agency, said it was vital that the Pakistani government "abides by the commitment to hold free and fair elections on schedule." Reuters has reported Pakistan's Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz as stating that the national elections will be held in mid-Janu as sched-

Police officers in plain clothes arrest a lawyer who was protesting against state of emergency imposed by the military ruler President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, Monday, Nov. 5, 2007 in Lahore, Pakistan. Legions of police firing tear gas and swinging batons clashed with lawyers Monday as security forces across Pakistan blockaded courts to quash protests uled despite the emergency rule. Siham Zafar, economics sophomore at UCO, from Pakistan, says, "I don't agree with Musharraf's actions. A lot of people are against him for the steps he has taken. Now, the international community will not consider Pakistan a democracy any more." Musharraf's crackdown has been building up slowly in last few months. This is apparent from the media reports concerning the deportment of Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan's former prime minister, and the hush-hush deal the exPakistani Prime Minister Benezir Bhutto was said to have struck with Musharraf. Speculations of Musharraf's hunger for power has been put into question and as a young democracy, the country's situation is expected to

be volatile. This month itself, Newsweek's international edition put Pakistan on its cover declaring it the most dangerous country in word, a place where "Jihad still lives." "Whatever has happened and what Musharraf is doing

is certainly not democratic. But the country is so rife with corruption that there perhaps is no other way but to impose martial law. Democracy is still new in Pakistan, it'll take a long time for the country to grasp the concept," said Khusro Iqbal, president of the UCO Pakistan Student Association. Soon after the opposi-

arrested since the weekend whereas analysts say it could be as high as 2,000. Another concern that has been raised is Pakistan as a nuclear power holder. Furmanski says, "While one cannot totally dismiss the prospect of a Pakistani nuclear weapon falling into the hands of non-state actors, it is highly unlikely that this would hap-

pen. Nuclear weapons are the `crown jewels' of any military establishment and their safeguarding is of the utmost importance. Moreover, considerable technical safeguards exist which would prevent an unauthorized detonation of a nuclear device. A more realistic concern would be the government of Pakistan falling under a hard-line Islamist party. But if this were to happen the threat would be felt more by India, than the US." Neighboring India is certainly in the wait-and-watch mode, as Furmanski says, Pakistan's political stability would be in the best interests of both India and the United States.

NCAA from page 1 ships is the equivalent of four to five scholarship-athletes. The final self-imposed limitations involved the amount of transfer recruits and the maximum number of football student-athletes. The UCO football program averages 16 transfers a year, but will restrict themselves to eight transfer recruits for the next two years, said Johnson. The maximum number of football student-athletes will also be reduced from around 100 to 90 per academic year. "I remain steadfast in my commitment to ensure that all employees of the University of Central Oklahoma understand and support the serious nature of NCAA compli-

ance," said Webb. UCO first received notification of allegations in September of 2006 but weren't officially notified by the NCAA until August 2007. Almost three weeks after the formal notification, Webb suspended head foot-

ball Coach Chuck Langston. The suspension lasted two weeks, from Aug. 20 to Sept. 3. According to an Aug. 21 press release, Langston was also banned from any offcampus recruiting for one year. In a Nov. 2 press release,

it was stated that around the same time UCO also placed an additional employee in the office of Tami Peck, the university's athletic compliance officer. The press release also stated that a comprehensive system was being developed and implemented to effec-

tively monitor the recruiting process for prospective student-athletes in all sports. "Everyone in the football program and other athletic programs, especially regarding recruiting, will be educated on the NCAA recruiting rules," said Johnson. A comprehensive NCAA rules education process is currently being implemented at the university. "It's all aspects of NCAA compliance," said Johnson, "Coaches and assistant coaches need to be aware and have some kind of training to help in that awareness." Peck has initiated a bimonthly mandatory meeting with coaches from all sports, during which new and proposed legislation is discussed. Monthly head-coach meetings were already in place, but these meetings have been

added for all coaches, including assistant coaches, to discuss relevant topics, said Johnson. "I will not tolerate any action by any employee, within our coaching ranks or elsewhere on campus, that does not support the university's values of civility, community and character. There will be no tolerance for intentional violations of NCAA rules and regulations," said Webb. Webb's presence, along with other university representatives, has been requested at the meeting with the Committee on Infractions to determine the outcome of the allegations. The meeting will be held in Indianapolis Dec. 7 through Dec. 9, 2007. Hannah Jackson can be reached at hjackson@thevistaonline.com.

N. Korea disables its nuclear facilities

IMMIGRATION from page 1

by AP Writer SEOUL, South Korea (AP) North Korea was expected to begin disabling its nuclear facilities Monday, marking the biggest step the communist country has ever taken to scale back its atomic program. The North shut down its sole functioning nuclear reactor at Yongbyon in July, and promised to disable it by year's end in exchange for energy aid and political concessions from other members of talks on its nuclear program: the U.S., China, Japan, South Korea and Russia. Disabling the reactor at Yongbyon, north of Pyongyang, would mark a further breakthrough in efforts to convince the North to scale back its nuclear program. The country conducted its first-ever nuclear test in October of last year. "By Monday morning, they will begin their work," U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill said in Tokyo on Saturday, referring to the U.S. team that arrived in Pyongyang last week. "It's a very big day because it's the first time it's actually going to start disabling its nuclear program."

"By the end of the year ... we hope to have arrived at an important milestone, where there is a complete disablement of the Yongbyon facilities." Christopher Hill

It was not clear as of late Monday evening whether the disabling process had begun. The team could not be reached in North Korea. South Korean nuclear envoy Chun Yung-woo said Monday that the U.S. team will determine which specific disablement mea-

U.S. nuclear envoy Christopher Hill speaks to reporters upon his arrival at the Incheon International Airport after visiting Beijing, west of Seoul, Thursday, Nov. 1, 2007. Hill said work on disabling North Korea's main nuclear complex will probably begin later this week, a development that would move the communist country one step closer to disarmament. sures it will take first after considering technical issues and safety concerns. Last week, South Korean Foreign Minister Song Min-soon told reporters the team will carry out about 10 measures to disable the Yongbyon facilities. Chun said he had not confirmed that the U.S. team started the disabling work as scheduled. Hill said the U.S. intends to achieve the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula while President Bush is still in power, and that North Korea â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of the world's most isolated countries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; appeared to be opening up. "I'd like to see us get through this in the current U.S. administration," Hill told a news conference in Tokyo. "We started this process, and

I'd like to see us finish it." To disable the program, the facilities must be stripped sufficiently that it would take at least a year for North Korea to start them up again, Hill said. Hill added the U.S. hoped to disable North's uranium enrichment program by Dec. 31, not just its plutonium-production facilities at Yongbyon. "By the end of the year ... we hope to have arrived at an important milestone, where there is a complete disablement of the Yongbyon facilitie2, a full list of additional facilities for disablement, and that uranium enrichment is also resolved to mutual satisfaction," Hill said. The envoy said American lawyers were working with North Korea to prepare to

remove it from a U.S. list of states sponsoring terrorism, but that Pyongyang ultimately needed to meet requirements stipulated under U.S. law. Taking Pyongyang off the terror list, long a key demand of the North, was one of a series of economic and political concessions offered for the country to disable its nuclear reactor that produces plutonium for bombs. "As they participate in the six-party process, I think there is a desire to overcome their isolation," Hill said, warning that the would be slow.

said later in an interview. "That was not following the rules. But we haven't forgotten them and we certainly haven't accused them." While the "Sooner" tag carried a negative connotation in the state's early days, that did not stop the University of Oklahoma from adopting it tl name of their athletic earns. 1/1Witkiithe, according to the OU official Web site, Sooner became a synonym of "progressivism" and a Sooner was known as "an energetic individual who travels ahead of the human procession. He was a prosperous, ambitious, can-do individual. "And Oklahoma was the Sooner State, the land of opportunity, enterprise and economic expansion, very much in the progressive spirit that engulfed the old South in the 1920s." Chapman said the Hispanic immigrants are comparable to "people leaving Ireland or the eastern United States and corning west with the promise of finding a way to make a living. "They made some great sacrifices and faced many obstacles and some of those obstacles were legal obstacles." He said many of today's illegal immigrants are good people who "did one wrong thing. Since they got here, they have established a home and a job and raised kids. They've been good de facto citizens." Rep. Randy Terrill, RMoore, who introduced the anti-immigration measure, said the priests are historically accurate, "but we're not the same country and we're not the same state as we were then." "There are no vast expanses of land in need of settlement and technological advances have made dissolution of old allegiances more difficult," the lawmaker said. Some churches and charity groups that work with Hispanics say the law has

They said they would continue providing services to immigrants, despite a section in the new law making it a felony to harbor or transport an illegal immigrant. Terrill said having illegal immigrants leave Oklahoma "is the intended purpose of the bill." As far as arguments of the priests that the bill in inhumane, he said: "I don't want to engage in a religious debate with these folks. I understand their point of view. I just disagree profoundly with them." Some say the law will present hardships for families by forcing breadwinners to abandon spouses and children, who are legal residents. Terrill said negative consequences always affect families of law breakers. "They have no one to blame but themselves," he said. He vowed not to be put on the defensive on the issue and said he planned to make the law "even tougher" next legislative session. Terrill is considering proposals to permit the seizure of assets tied to harboring or transporting an illegal immigrant and to give law enforcement agencies incentives to join a federal program whereby officers are given training by federal immigration authorities. The Tulsa County Sheriffs Department had 30 deputies trained under the program. The result: 735 arrests of people suspected of being illegal immigrants since July 1, according to Sheriff Stanley Glanz. Other sheriffs departments have not joined the program, with some officials saying they have all they can handle fighting serious crime in their counties. Under the,noy law; all local enforcement agencies now have the authority to detain illegal immigrants for federal authorities if the illegals are charged with DUI or a felony.

Hollywood writers negotiate for compensation to avoid strike by AP Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) Hollywood writers were back at the bargaining table Sunday in a last-minute push to avoid a strike against TV networks and movie studios over writers' share of profits from DVDs and the Internet. The battle has broad implications for the way Hollywood does business, since whatever deal is struck by the Writers Guild of America will likely be used as a template for talks with actors and directors, whose contracts expire next June. "We'll get what they get," Screen Actors Guild President Alan Rosenberg told The Associated Press. Negotiators were meeting with a federal mediator Sunday evening in hopes of avoiding a strike that writers had set to begin 12:01 a.m. Monday. The guild announced AP Photo sweeping plans to picket every major studio in Los Angeles Picket signs lie in a van at the Writers Guild of America headquarters Sunday, Nov. 4, 2007, in Los Angeles. starting at 9 a.m. Monday, Hollywood writers were back at the bargaining table Sunday in a last-minute push to avoid a strike against TV along with Rockefeller Center in New York, where networks and movie studios over writers' share of profits from DVDs and the Internet.

The strike would not immediately impact production of movies or prime-time TV programs. Most studios have stockpiled dozens of movie scripts, and TV shows have enough scripts or completed shows in hand to last until early next year. The actors' union has urged its members to join the writers' picket lines during their off hours. If a writers strike lingers and actors show support, producers could try and undermine the writers' position by seeking a more favorable deal with directors. Writers and directors have clashed in the past, mostly over writers' feelings that directors take too much credit for a movie and neglect the contribution of writers. In 2004, the directors' union settled its contract first and backed down from demands for a higher share of profit from the lucrative DVD marketplace. Writers alicl actors then had little choice but to accept a similar deal. "This is a bare knuckle fight and a chess game," said Jonathan Handel, an entertainment lawyer at the Los Angeles law firm of TroyGould. "If producers do reach a deal with the DGA, it would be to cut the legs right out from under the strike. Then the focus shifts to SAG." The DGA said it has not yet scheduled contract talks but was closely monitoring developments. i I

South Carolina votes to keep Stephen Colbert off ballot by AP Writer His announcement came after the South Carolina Democratic Executive Council voted last week to keep the host of "The Colbert Report" off the state's primary ballot. The vote was 13-3. Colbert poses as a conservative talk-show host on the Comedy Central show. "Although I lost by the slimmest margin in presidential election history — only 10 votes — I have chosen not to put the country through another agonizing Supreme

Court battle," Colbert said Monday in a statement. "It is time for this nation to heal." Colbert had said he would run only in his natike South Carolina, a key primary state. He said he planned to run as a Democrat and a Republican — so he could lose twice. Colbert, 43, later declined to file with the GOP, which has a much higher filing fee ($35,000) than the Democrats ($2,500). "I want to say to my supporters, this is not over," Colbert said. "While I may accept the decision of the Council, the fight goes on!

The dream endures! ... And I am going off the air until I can talk about this without weeping." In reality, "The Colbert Report" was going off the air because of a strike by Hollywood writers that began Monday. Many talk shows were expected to be shown in repeats during the strike.

Bronchos ranked 18th by Justin Langston Staff Writer

One of the potential roadblocks for the season was replacing Brown and finding a strong starting center. Last season, Brown was one of the team's top scorers, scoring 27.5 points per game. "Anthony was really our biggest loss," Evans said. "We've got to do the most working to replace him." Finding a replacement for Brown has not been easy, but the team has three potentials that will be filling the center

This year, the UCO Men's Basketball team looks to take it all the way to nationals, starting the season as a nationally ranked team and looking to dominate the competition. Although they will be losing the high scoring center Anthony Brown, who graduated after last season, the team still looks strong, with an excellent opening lineu sand a strong reserve. This season, UCO will begin ranked 18th in the nation. While this is a huge honor for the team, head coach Terry Evans is more concerned with winning the conference and making sure the team plays good basketball than how high the team is ranked.

position for the team. Ronald Hill, a six-foot-eight junior who Evans describes as having "really long arms," Terry Tucker, who averaged just under 15 points per game last season, and Michael Sosanya, a promising freshman. As for the current lineup, Evans sees the team as having a great deal of depth, with a lot of strengths in different areas. The team is confident in their opening line, with Evans saying there are 11 potential starters, which can change from game to game. The only constant in the starting line, as things stand right now, is forward/guard Sam Belt, who led the team in scoring last season, averaging 30.5 points per game. The season looks tough as always, with UCO playing the number four ranked North West Missouri, as well as games against St. Gregory's and New Mexico Highlands from outside of the Lone Star Conference. Although Evans said that UCO had "one of the tougher seasons in the league," he didn't appear to be worried. "We have a lot of depth," Evans said. "And it's going to take the whole team, all of us, to pull together and win." Justin Langston can be reached at jlangston@thevistaonline.com

Bronchos finish strong in conference by Alex Gambill Sports Writer The Bronchos hit hard Thursday and Saturday in Texas to claim victory in their last conference matches in the Lone Star Conference, bringing them to 28-5 and 11-1 in the LSC. UCO colonized the Pioneers of Texas Woman's University 3-1. Central finished 30-23, 30-25, 25-30 and 30-26, which tarnished the Pioneers' record to 6-5 in the LSC. "Texas Woman's is a big rival," UCO head coach Jeff Boyland said. "In the third game, they came out really effective, changing some schemes offensively and we were a little bit slow to adjust to it." Kelsey Reynolds received a season-high of 21 kills in a game. She hit .250 and also churned out eight digs. Lacie Allen had 32 digs, which broke her own single-season digs record in Thursday's match. This brought her to 821 to break the LSC mark of 790 she set last year. Allen now has 2,590 digs in her career. Mari Araujo made 17 kills and helped greatly on defense with 31 digs.

Carolyn O'Connor helped as well with 17 digs. The Bronchos' blocking was , low with only two blocking singles and four blocking assists. Jessica Legako stepped up with 13 kills and kept her errors down to only two. Courtney Whitlow also kept her attack errors low with only one and made 11 kills. Meaghan Wedberg played a smart game setting 56 and making 10 digs. The Bronchos tamed the Lion's Saturday in a five game rumble in the jungle. UCO finished 30-22, 2830, 28-30, 30-18 and 15-10. The Bronchos came out playing a little slow, making 13 kills and 12 errors in the first game. In the second game they kept their errors much lower with only four and made 13 kills, but that wasn't enough compared to the Lion's 16, which won them the game. In the third game the Bronchos made more kills but did not play as clean and racked up 11 errors. "We had a talk after the third game and they were actually playing to make the conference tournament," Boyland said. "They had to beat us for that to happen."

By the fourth game the Bronchos "woke up" and were ready to slay the Lions, finishing 12 points ahead. UCO then kept them down 15-10 in the fifth with only one lead change and three tie scores. "We haven't won a five game match yet this year," Boyland said. "So it was good of them to win that." Araujo claimed 24 kills in the match and Reynolds followed with 15; Legako also helped with 14. Allen kept the Bronchos on path with 42 digs, being the third best UCO match in the number of digs. UCO finished with an astounding 115 digs. Being 11-1 in the LSC, UCO is ranked No. 2 for next week's eight-team LSC Tournament in Canyon, Texas. The Bronchos will face No. 7 Texas A&M-Kingsville at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 8. Boyland said the team will watch some films of Kingsville to prepare them for their upcoming match. "If we can win that we will be playing the winner of Midwestern and Cameron," he added.

The UCO Hockey Club had a tough weekend as they traveled to Phoenix to take on Arizona State where they suf fered two defeats.

McAlister replaced Somerfield with Sgro, and he was able to shut down the offense for most of the game, barring a couple of shots. UCO tried to turn the tide, but they never managed to pick up the pieces. "That was [Arizona State's] first game on home ice, so they had a fired up crowd," McAlister said. "These next games though are going to define how we end the year. UCO will be returning home this weekend for a series against the University of Kansas.

UCO soccer team gets stunned in the conference finals by Jeff Massie Sports Editor After yielding only one goal to a conference opponent, and going undefeated in Lone Star play, the Broncho soccer team seemed to have lost some of its luster in the conference tournament played in Edmond. UCO, winners of the last conference titles, failed to three-peat when they lost 21 in the finals against West Texas A&M. The defeat came a day after the Bronchos squeeked out a narrow 3-2 double overtime win versus 910-3 Texas A&M-Commerce. Against the Lions, it looked as though UCO would roll early in the game. The Bronchos galloped out to a quick two-point lead with the game not even six minutes old. Midfielder Kasey Mahaffey

and fullback Ashton Morris both scored off of rebounds, the first came from a deflectiOn by the keeper and the second score was set up when the ball ricocheted offthe post. The team from Edmond outshot Commerce 32- 12, but the Lions managed to score three times after the Bronchos two. With the game tied at the break, the Lions added their third and final goal 22 minutes after play resumed. In danger of being bumped in its first game, UCO's Carmen Davis received a pass from Jenny Racicot and took the ball on a breakaway and put the tying ball into the back of the net. The Broncho defense stepped up in overtime as Commerce was unable to get off any shots. Then, in the second extra period, Racicot took an unassisted

shot from 20 yards out and put it past the keeper and into the upper corner of the goal. It was in the finals where UCO crossed paths with the 13-6-1 and sixth seeded Buffalos of West Texas A&M and fell 2-1. The Buffalos went 5-5 in conference this season, including a 2-0 loss to UCO in Canyon, Texas. "Obviously this is an extremely difficult loss for myself and this team," head coach Mike Cook said in a statement to UCO's Media Relations. The game was close with West Texas sporting a narrow 14 to 13 shot advantage. The Bronchos struck first in the contest when Kasey Mahaffey received a pass from Carmen Davis and scored in the 28th minute.

Jermelle Cudjo prepares to take on a Southwestern Oklahoma State player at Wantland Stadium Oct. 27. UCO won the game 10-7 but lost to West Texas A&M this week 31-0.

West Texas A&M has been tearing through opponents all season and maintained its perfect record after applying a 31-0 beat down on UCO. The Buffalos, ranked fourth in the nation, have won all 10 of their games this season and have clinched at least a share of the conference title with this victory. They have also finished on top of the conference the previous two years. The Bronchos found themselves in a hole early in the game. After a short kickoff and a 15-yard return, West Texas quarterback, Taylor Harris, connected on all four of his passes and led the team into the endzone. The drive accounted

for 58 of Harris' 401 yards through the air. It was Kolo Kapanui who hauled in a 33yard strike for the score; he then ran the extra point in to put the Buffalos up by eight. Harris completed 30 of his 50 throws, including three touchdowns and one interception. After falling behind 15-0, UCO moved the ball inside the 20 yard line and threatened to score twice during the first half. The first drive ended four yards short of pay dirt when quarterback Ryan O'Hara's fourth down pass to Rick Montgomery was deflected by defender Bret Jones. Then on first and 10 with the ball on the Buffalo 17, backup Broncho quarterback Colin Clancy threw an interception. Clancy entered the game

after O'Hara threw a pick, but he finished the game with zero completions on three attempts and one interception. O'Hara saw the majority of the action and connected on 16 of his 28 passes. He also threw an interception during the game that had eight Broncho receivers coming away with receptions. UCO trailed the dominant Buffalos 18-0 at the half and would not move the ball back into the redzone until the fourth quarter when the margin had been expanded to 31-0. Two Broncho fumbles ended a pair of drives on the A&M 17-yard line, the first came from running back Ben Birmingham and the other by De'Marean Pullen.
