New program hopes to 'rock' students By Nelson Solomon Co-Editor

Interest in UCO's recently created Academy of Contemporary Music is on the rise, said Charlie Johnson, executive director of University Relations. "I've received many phone calls and e-mails about the program," he said. UCO President Roger Webb announced the creation of the new academy on Oct. 9, which will be housed in the Oklahoma Hardware building in the

Bricktown district in downtown Oklahoma City. In partnership with Europe's leading school for rock and pop musicians, the Academy of Contemporary Music based in Great Britain, UCO will provide a comprehensive range of experiences for students who aspire to a career in the music industry, a press release from University Relations stated. Susan Wortham, from the office of enrollment management, said applications are only due in April, although they are currently being accepted. She said part of the application process involves the submission of a demo. "This is a unique model, as there is nothing like it in the U.S. that lets students be educated about how to practically pursue a music career, while also connecting students with professionals," she said. From performance to producing, to the business to the music industry, the ACM@UCO will provide the most innovative music industry education available

President-elect Obama poised for White House By Stephani Tobin and Melissa Dixon

Staff Writers President-elect Barack Obama entered Grant Park in Chicago Tuesday night in front of 160,000 supporters, making history as the first African-American person to be elected President of the United States. "Change has come to America," Obama said to a loud and emotional crowd. "We are, and will always be, the United States." NBC projected a win for Obama at 10:07 p.m. when the candidate earned 284 electoral votes. A few minutes later, Sen. John McCain called Obama's headquarters to concede. In his acceptance speech, Obama called McCain a "brave and selfless leader" and credited his fight and sacrifice for his years in the Navy and the Senate. He also credited Sen. Joe Biden, his family and his wife, Michelle, who he called "the rock of my life." "There will always be setbacks and false starts," Obama said. "I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face." At 8 p.m., Obama led with 175 electoral

votes to McCain's 70 votes. At 9 p.m., McCain took Texas and Obama took Ohio. Obama had 59 percent of the vote in Pennsylvania after 55 percent of the precincts reported. Anchors on MSNBC said that they did not expect to project a winner until after 11 p.m. and after all the votes came in. The Northeast states lost all of their seats in the House of Representatives at 9:08 p.m. At 10:07 p.m., MSNBC projected Obama as the winner based on the electoral votes he picked up and the states he was projected to win. Reports came in at 10:11 p.m. that McCain called the Obama camp to concede the election. McCain gave his concession speech shortly after at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, Ariz. "We must move on together and work together," McCain said to his supporters. "The failure is mine, not yours." He also thanked his supporters for giving him a fair chance, and said that Obama's success "commands his respect for his perseverance." Obama also earned the electoral votes in Colorado and Florida at 10:15 p.m. Political pundits for MSNBC agreed that although Obama earned his win, McCain was a good candidate who fought well for his position. see OBAMA, page 5

Actor Joaquin Phoenix confirms he's done with making movies Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP): The writing on Joaquin Phoenix's fists said it all. The words "Good Bye" were penned on the actor's knuckles at a premiere Saturday night for his latest film, "Two Lovers," and Phoenix confirmed a surprise announcement he made last week: He's giving up movies. "I think it's just moving on. It's rediscovering something else," said Phoenix, 34, said in an interview with Associated Press Television News before Saturday's American Film Institute festival, which also premiered "Che," starring Benicio Del Toro. "Two Lovers" is his last film, he said. His publicist had disclosed Friday that the actor intended to focus on music. Phoenix first mentioned his decision to "Extra" early last week at a fundraiser in San Francisco. He abruptly

ended that interview after the reporter wondered whether he was joking about giving up acting for music. Phoenix learned to play guitar and did his own singing to play country legend Johnny Cash in "Walk the Line," which earned him an Academy Award nomination. His publicist also said Phoenix has been directing music videos in recent years. "It's like greener pastures, you know what I mean?" Phoenix said Saturday. "And so, I'm just going to try and like, I'll just be doing— the other thing. Hopefufy,,-;Ii will enidti6nally impact AP Photo you withithat, as weu iry fi "Two Loversop fnrstars Phoenix as a heartbtoken man torn between xcneedy, neurotic neighbor ( 'Gneth Paltrow) and ther, seisible woman (Vinessa -ShAst his parents want him thil-prorry.

Student-directed play to be performed in OKC By Angela Morris Staff Writer

The play "Crumble," directed by UCO student Stephanie Whaley, will be performed Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. at Paseo hang-out spot, Sauced. The production of "Crumble" is Whaley's senior design thesis for her technical theater major. Whaley was in charge of picking the play, directing, choosing the production spot, casting the characters and designing set and costume said UCO adviser Angela Marks. Whaley said she began looking at about 20 different scripts in June

and Assistant Director Haley Jane Pierce began rehearsing for Crumble Oct. 1. "It ['Crumble'] takes you to a real place," musical theater senior Finch said. "It's like you're peeking into someone's apartment." Whaley said she chose Sauced as her performance venue because of its intimate atmosphere. Whaley said in the professional world, a majority of theater takes place in a backroom. Theaters such as Mitchell Hall are not the norm. Sauced is located at 2912 Paseo Drive at the corner of Walker and 28th.

with Marks before Whaley made "Crumble" her choice. "It's a play about communication," Whaley said. "Crumble" deals with a girl, Janice, overcoming the grief of losing her father and attempting to have a good relationship with her mother, Carol, for the first time. "The thing I love about the play is it has a sense of being out of place and time, even though it's in chronological order," Whaley said. Whaley then cast five other theater or musical theater majors: Kassie Carroll, Hilary Finch, Dallas Lish, Ashley Meyer, and Justin Steer. The five cast members, Whaley,

LOS ANGELES (AP)-- Nixon's back. So are Kate and Leo, Nicole and Baz, a herd of stranded zoo animals and a very vengeful James Bond. Despite the harsh economy, Hollywood has been on a box-office roll the last month, and studios head into the year's homestretch with a solid lineup of returns, reunions and promising newcomers that could uphold the old saw about movies as a recession-pro:if business. Lighthearted fare such as "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" and "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" provided a brisk prelude to the holiday season, of which the first big offering is the animated sequel "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa." The movie reunites a voice cast led by Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith and David Schwimmer as the foursome of zoo buddies, now stuck on a wildlife preserve in Africa after their ramshackle plane crashes. Stiller enjoyed making the sequel more, partly because he wasn't so lonely in the recording booth doing the vocals. Actors generally work alone on animated flicks, but one pivotal scene between Stiller's Alex the lion and Rock's Marty the zebra was recorded with both actors in the room. "I really wanted to have that experience to see what came out of it. It was a lot of fun improvising back and forth, doing a scene with somebody else like a regular movie," Stiller said. "Just getting Chris in the room and riffing with it was inspiring." Among other big films: Daniel Craig returns as Bond in "Quantum of Solace"; "Titanic" stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are together again in the domestic drama "Revolutionary Road"; Nicole Kidman reteams with "Moulin Rouge" director Baz Luhrmann for the World War Hera epic "Australia"; Kidman's ex, Tom Cruise, stars in his own World War II tale "Valkyrie"; Frank Langella reprises his stage role as Richard Nixon in Ron Howard's "Frost/Nixon"; "Babel" co-stars Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett reunite for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"; Keanu Reeves stars in an update of the scifi classic "The Day the Earth Stood Still"; and a best-seller comes to the screen with "Twilight," about a teen's romance with a

studly vampire. "You can relate to falling in love with the wrong person, not your socio-economic class, not your gender, not your race, or the bad boy in school — someone your family and his family and society doesn't think you should be with," Hardwicke said. "In this case, it's extreme, because he's not the same species." "Quantum of Solace" picks up where 2006's "Casino Royale" left off, with 007 out to avenge the death of his great love. Bond bounds around the world, going rogue as his quest tosses him up against a phony environmentalist cornering a South American water supply and lands him in the company of a woman (Olga Kurylenko) with her own mission of vengeance. Unlike the always slick Bond of old, Craig again presents an operative with rough edges, who reveals his emotional scars in the downtime between the action. "You've got this mix, this man that works incredibly intensely for short periods of time on incredibly terrifying missions, then has to go back to normal life, and doesn't cope with it very well," Craig said. "I love that idea that he's at his best when he's in trouble." Other upcoming Hollywood highlights: HOLIDAY TALES: "Four Christmases" features Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn as a couple suffering through the ultimate holiday horror — four separate family gatherings with parents, stepparents, siblings and other kin. The cast includes Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Jon Voight, Mary Steenburgen and Vaughn buddy Jon Favreau. In "Nothing Like the Holidays," a family copes with upheaval, new additions and old resentments as siblings head home for Christmas at their parents' place. The cast includes John Leguizamo, Debra Messing, Freddy Rodriguez, Alfred Molina and Elizabeth Pena. HEAVYWEIGHT DRAMA: Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio played lovers whose romance wound up on the rocks after the ship hit the iceberg in "Titanic." With "Revolutionary Road," they play a couple on another sort of collision course as they try to break free of their stifling suburban lives. "We knew if we were going to a relationship, a love story again, it would have to be dramatically different," DiCaprio said.

Mortar Board aims for more students By Abha Eli Phoboo

Senior Reporter The Mortar Board Senior Honor Society is reaching out to international students and minorities this semester. In an attempt to promote diversity, the society is making an effort to encourage uninvolved student groups to join honor societies at UCO. "We want to maximize our membership and encourage students of different backgrounds and nationalities to be a part of it," said Victoria Adigun, membership coordinator, who is spearheading the effort. "Our society has a lot to offer students who are its members," Adigun said. "You make a lot of connections and its a good way to network. We have famous people like Condoleezza Rice who are part of the alumni." The requirement to join the Mortar Board Senior Honor Society is a minimum GPA of 3.0 or the top 35 percent of an individual's class. Students will be sent an invitation

letter at the end of the year if they are juniors or will be seniors next semester. Members will have to pay a fee and receive a pin. They will be invited to participate in national conferences and given opportunities to seek internships with former alumni. The society also seeks to encourage its members to practice leadership and give back to the community. "We have community service projects going to encourage leadership and get a better grasp on advocacy for education," Adigun said. "We are changing a big deal and are trying to get the word out there. We want it to grow because this is a prestigious society and has a lot to offer its members." The society is part of the "Read & Lead" book donation drive that is taking place on campus. Those interested can attend the Society meetings that place every second Monday of the month. For more information, visit the society's Web site mortarboard.org .

More than half of America is rejoicing over President-elect Barack Obama's victory, while a little less than ADMI N I ST IVE half has no choice but to hope for the best. ASSISTANT My voice and opinion hold no Tresa Berlemann weight for most people, but I feel I ADVISER must state my worries. My worries, Kelly S. Wray however, are not fears, nor do they consume my thoughts at all hours of the day, but more or less linger in the unwelcomed air. My concerns are simple in words, but complicated in nature. Those who oppose Sen. Obama's ideas, I have a feeling, will be seen as anti-change or anti-American. My worry is that those who continue to oppose will slowly be snuffed away, scorned for their ideas. What will keep Sen. Obama supporters from calling those who oppose him "old fashioned" or "stuck in their ways?"

Chris Albers

Programming President disagrees with review To the Editor of the Vista, I was appalled after reading the Augustana review that was placed in October 30th's edition. The article was poorly written and stated false information. The review declared that "despite the freezing cold, the live music and the free Red Bull seemed enough to draw a decent crowd of a few hundred." I am proud to say that the Augustana concert drew one of the largest crowds that the Student Programming Board has seen at this university in a few years. In fact, this concert had over 2,000 spectators. I believe stating that there was a decent crowd of a few hundred diminishes the value of our organization. The review also stated that Augustana is an "Austin-based band." This is untrue. The band is California-based, San Diego to be exact. This review also had no information about the other bands that opened for Augustana. Like I said, it was poorly written with a lack of information. I am writing you not for controversial efforts but because I am a strong believer that if a review is made about an event here

What's the point? These were some of the same reasons that caused many not to vote for Sen. John McCain. Many presidents have been idolized, the "I like Ike" campaign, for example, and many have become a celebrity, but this election seems to be at a new level. I personally was becoming bored and agitated with the election process and I wanted it to be over with, but my concerns hold true. As a nation,

we may become so caught up in the "change" we are promised, we won't ever step back and make sure that the change is going to be for the good of us all. My second concern is that over the next four years, we will be so blinded by the word "change" that Obama will be able to say anything and we will believe him. Obama, I have no doubt, is exactly the change America was looking for, and so I hope over the next four years, America gets exactly what they asked for. Like I said, I am not scared of what may come, but rather inching forward with great caution and discretion as we change into the next phase of America. But don't let your tears blur your vision. Keep your head on your shoulders and give your trust sparingly.

Educational system fails to prepare students

Augustana, a well-known band, performed at UCO during Homecoming Week. on campus that the facts should be correct. TheStudentProgramming Board works too hard to give the University of Central Oklahoma's students fun and exciting events. Reviews such as this one seem to lower the positive perception of our organization. I also would like to hope that a university newspaper such as The Vista would help to encourage events in a positive manner while giving correct information to the students. Sincerely, Garrett D. Johnson University of Central Oklahoma Student Programming Board President

As I was perusing the course catalog the other day, as many of you are doing right now, trying figure out what class will meet that one last general education requirement for next semester, I came across this entry: "UNIV 1012 - Success Central This course assists students in transitioning to university life. The class acquaints students with techniques that encourage student success, improve and refine academic skills, and develop skills and attitudes needed to achieve educational and personal goals." Since you're reading this, it's probably a safe assumption that if you aren't currently or haven't already taken this class, you have at least heard of it. In a nutshell, you learn how to manage your time, good study habits to pick up and different ways of dealing with stress, among other things. Basically, it's a class that teaches you how to do college. Classes of this nature are fairly common in the public university tradition. During my years at OU, the class was called Gateway to College Learning. OSU also has similar classes. As the system is right now, these types of classes are necessary to ease the transition between high school and college. Several people have told me, and I share the same thoughts, that looking back on their academic

Excogiate This BY GREG NEWBY

"Public schools are just not getting the job done in an effective manner. They focus on cramming trivial knowledge into students' heads." careers, they were not as close to being prepared for college as they probably should have been. Why not? Our current education system is defunct. Public schools that teach kindergarten through 12th grade are just not getting the job done in an effective manner. You would think that their biggest priorities are teaching and shaping kids as people, giving them the skills to be productive members of society and showing them how to better themselves. Instead, they focus on cramming trivial knowledge into students' heads in order for them to score well on standardized tests. Higher test

scores mean more government funding. This is not to say that all of our teachers are money-grubbing tyrants that are only interested in padding their retirement accounts. We can look at salaries across the state and see they're not in it for the money (a different topic altogether). The issue here is the flawed academic system these educators are forced to deal with. So, how do we fix it? I hate to say it, but the main remedy for this problem is money. More money is needed, but better moneymanagement is needed even worse. Instead of worrying about having big, elaborate buildings and spending on frivolous technology, concentrate on paying teachers more. A talented person will stay underpaid for only so long. Why can't we focus our financial energy on keeping good teachers around and rewarding the ones who genuinely care about what they're doing? By the time you graduate from high school, you should already be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed at the college level. After 12 years of education fundamentals, I shouldn't have to come to UCO and pay for two or three credit hours to learn how to be a student.

Not your average slice of pizza By Daviyion Johnson and Ryan Kolb

Restaurant Reviewers

This week we decided to embrace our inner college student and enjoy one of our favorite food staples: pizza. The destination we visited was supercheesy: Cheezies Pizza, which is located east on 2 nd past Bryant, near Henry Hudson's Pub and Jimmy John's. Cheezies has has been open only since late September and has been doing an excellent job of feeding the financially challenged. It is a small place with a similar setup to most pizza places with no tables to sit at, just a bench to wait. We wish we knew this ahead of time so we could have called in our order. Nevertheless, we only had to wait about 12 minutes for our food to be ready. They also had some of the friendliest people working the counter and the manager on duty even brought us candy as we waited. We took it back to our lair and chowed down. Now, it's unfair to pit pizza joints against each other, but Cheezies could definitely hold it's on the brawl for your hard-earned cash and with deals like this, it's easy to see why. Daviyion ordered a large, meaty pizza, appropriately called "Lotz-A-Meat," which cost only $7.99 for Canadian bacon, Italian sausage, pepperoni and hamburger. Every

delectable bite and sniff of this pizza pie had us singing that's amore. The quality and taste of their toppings were on par with all the best pizza places we've eaten and maybe better. Ryan wanted to go a different route and got a calzone, also well priced at $7.99. It came stuffed with pepperoni, sausage, cheese and special sauce (we don't think it's the Big Mac sauce). It was heavy (at least a pound), loaded with meat and cheese and extremely delicious. The calzone was primo quality, maybe because it had garlic and Parmesan cheese for a glazed and sprinkled topping, by Vista photographer Chanel Henry although we're still not sure what the special sauce was inside. Cheezies Pizza is located east on 2nd past Bryant, near Henry Hudson's Pub and Jimmy John's.

'Get Smart' gets by with one-man Carrell comedy By Ryan Croft

Staff Writer

, There seems to be a kind of trend that goes along with movies based on old television shows - they're either a success (Mission Impossible, Sex and the City) or a complete train wreck (Dukes of Hazzard). Few people may realize that 2008's Get Smart is based on a 1960's T.V. show of the same name, written by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. Now, I have never seen a single episode of the T.V. series, but given Brooks' "Midas Touch" for screwball comedy and the series' five-season run, I assume it provided at least a few belly laughs. The movie, like the series, is a spymovie spoof full of the typical spy-movie spoof fare: secret agents, double agents, bad guys with foreign accents and lame jokes, pocketknife flamethrowers and Bill Murray hiding inside a tree.

Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is the top analyst for CONTROL, a secret government organization that was supposedly disbanded after the Cold War. Max's lifelong dream is to be an agent, a dream for which he has trained vigorously and lost a couple-hundred pounds. Alas, Max is just too good at his desk-jockey position to become an agent. After an attack on CONTROL's headquarters, orchestrated by evil-spy organization KAOS, leaves many of Control's spy's compromised, Max is hastily paired with the beautiful Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). The two must kick, shoot, and wisecrack their way through Europe and Washington D.C. to infiltrate KAOS and thwart an imminent nuclear attack on the United States. Director Peter Segal (The Longest Yard) gives us enough choreographed fistfights, shoot-outs and explosions to let Get Smart work as a decent action flick. Carell's

'Girlies' get noticed Senior Reporter

They are photographers, designers, painters, crafters, welders, knitters; they are jacks-of-all-trades, and they happen to all be girls. The Oklahoma City Farmers Market will host "The Girlie Show" this weekend to showcase the talent of local women interested in crafts. Due to successful shows in the past, tickets are on sale for $15 dollars in advance, $20 at the door on Friday and Saturday and only $5 on Saturday. Tickets can be bought in Oklahoma City at Shoe Gypsy in Nichols Hills Plaza, New Leaf Florist in Casady Square at Penn and Britton and Blue 7 on 7518 N. May. People attending can find almost anything they could want, from Amy Baldwin's Curly Q Mosaics, to Samantha Lambs whimsical photography. "I'm highlighting my newer stuff; it's all based off of nostalgic items like pocket watches and ships and ships," Lamb said. "I'm using bold tones and really just trying to emphasize the feeling of home." Women interested in becoming a Girlie

for next year's show will have to wait until next year to fill out an application that will be available online at TheGirlieShow.net . All participating Girlies are encouraged to vary their price ranges and sell some items for $25 and less. The application process also requires all participants to submit four "accurately representative" pictures of work they'd like to show. Attendees can rest assured they will be viewing quality work. The show is not only a great way to showcase female Oklahoman talent; it keeps fan favorites in business. All profits made from the show enable the Girlies to keep supplying great art for years to come. "Not only do they have the great opportunity to find unique handmade items they can support local economy and business," Lamb said. "A lot of crafters want to make this what they do for a living, and supporting local artists is so incredibly important. Also, Christmas is coming around the corner and there are plenty of cool things for people to get." The Friday show will be from 8 p.m. until midnight and the Saturday show will be from noon until 5 p.m.

deadpan humor and Allen Arkin's (as the head of CONTROL) wisecracks provide the general comedic flow of the movie. The main problem with Get Smart is its reliance on Carell's tone and mannerisms to provide 90 percent of the laughs. Aside from the laugh-out-loud-funny moments of physical, often pain-oriented humor and a handful of other one-liners given to supporting characters, Get Smart often feels like a one-man Carell comedy routine. Other than her good looks, there is very little redeeming value in Hathaway's Agent 99. Although a romance develops between Agent 99 and Max, the two share little believable chemistry. Carell's Max is helped in his quest and his comedy by a pair of tech-nerds (including Heroes' Masi Oka) and superstar-spy Agent 23 (Dwayne Johnson, formerly WWE's The Rock). Terrence Stamp provides a passable spy-movie bad

guy as KAOS' main agent known only as Siegfried. The only special feature available on the DVD is an "alternate selection" viewingoption, which the DVD cover claims provides over 63 percent more material that is either a different version of the scene you just watched or scene that just didn't quite make the final cut. I had already seen the movie in theaters. So, I decided to start watching it in this "alternate selection" format. Unfortunately, it seems like every other scene in the movie has one or more "alternates" â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it took me more than 10 minutes to make it through the opening credits, and most of them were not better than the originals. Get Smart seems to buck the traditional T.V. series-to-movie trend of either succeeding or sucking by simply walking a passable middle ground, it doesn't so much get smart as simply get by.

Culture shock: UCO feels new electricity Bronchos adapt, win six straight under new coach • P1S50.tt,g4&toes-,v4-.., 4..vpicomottro -

By Matt Caban

Staff Writer Change is the buzzword around this year's edition of the UCO Bronchos football team. There was a change at the top in the form of a new head coach who brought in a new staff and a new way of doing things from the moment of his hiring as UCO's 11th head football coach Dec. 27, 2007. Head coach Tracy Holland said his vision for the program has always been to dream big. "We're going to play for championships," Holland said. "That might seem a bit outrageous given that we were on probation and a lack of success over recent years." A six-game winning streak HOLLAND has guaranteed the Bronchos at least a share of the Lone Star Conference North Division title. The team can win the title outright with a win Saturday over Northeastern State or a loss by Southeastern Oklahoma. Holland has already won over his players and staff with his vision and winning attitude. Defensive coordinator Steve Patterson said the players have benefitted from the doaching change and what he calls a change of culture. "When you've gone through some losing seasons sometimes you kind of lose that belief in yourself a little bit," Patterson said. "I see a change in those guys believing in themselves...believing that they can win." Junior guard Nolan Williams agrees that Coach Holland has brought the team a different attitude. "He's a player's coach," Williams said. "He brings a winning attitude to the team." But first the team had to cope with a fourgame losing streak to open the season.

UCO running back Jason Palmer hugs the sideline during a run Saturday afternooMyrjpg UCO's last home game of the season against East Central. The Bronchos won the game, 30-17, for their sixth consecutive victory. Cgn ..1.0klahoma will will close out its regular season at Northeastern Oklahoma State at 2 p.m. Saturday. With a win, UCO could claim a piece of the Lone Star North Chanpionship. "We struggled and went back into our old habits a bit and then things just started clicking," Pattersort said. Patterson said the team's turnaround came as players started building confidence in themselves, other players, the system and the coaching staff. "It's just kind of steamrolled from there," Patterson said. Junior quarterback Brandon Noohi said the biggest reasons for the turnaround are believing in each other and the system Holland installed. "We bought into the program and success has come with the sacrifices that we made to succeed," Noohi said. Offensive coordinator Jay Wilkinson said the team took a while to adjust to its new

offense, called the no-huddle. "It was kind of slow going and I think our start kind of proved,that," He said.. The new offense came with a big learning curve and it took the offense until about week six to master it, Wilkinson said. "Anytime you get good quarterback play and the offensive line is giving him time to throw the football, you've got a chance to win some football games," He said. Sophomore wide receiver Marqus Stutson said the no-huddle offense is all about timing and precision. "It requires you to be in great shape," Stutson said. "It keeps the defense off guard." However, Wilkinson was quick to

attribute the work of the team's defense. "That, to me, is a bigger part of the win streak...we finally ...played as a team," Wilkinson said. Holland agrees that the team has truly come together. "It's a story of perseverance, I think," He said. "We had a plan in place and stuck to it." The turnaround would not have come about without the leadership of the team's seniors, Holland said. "They are 16 outstanding young men," he said.

"We can start over, and if we play hard and do well, we could go to the National Tournament," he said. The playoff seeding includes West Texas A&M at No. 1, followed by Texas A&M-Commerce, Midwestern State, UCO, Abilene Christian, and Northeastern State. Caynon, Texas, is home to the West Texas A&M Buffs. Abilene Christian's soccer program started two years ago and is fairly new. Its record is 9-7-2.

"One of the things we need to work

on is ball control." The Bronchos started off the year with several road wins in September, but the last few matches have been hard losses for the team, including a close loss to Texas Woman's, a hard fall to No. 2 in conference Texas A&M Commerce, and a heartbreaking loss to Dallas Baptist on Tuesday. The Bronchos are 12-20 for the season.
