It looked like a biker rally. Dozens of leather and denimclad men and women lined the street in front of New Covenant United Methodist Church in Edmond and waved American flags. Hogs, Choppers and the like roared down Boulevard, revving their engines loudly as they passed a small group set apart from the fray.

The Terry May Memorial Park will be dedicated at 11 a.m. Nov. 11 on the north side of Thatcher Hall. Capt. Justin Covey, assistant professor of military science, said the park was completed last week. New fences, benches, shrubs, trees, a flagpole and cannon adorn the grounds. People on and off campus donated money to pay for the memorial. Lt. Col. Stuart Jolly said he submitted a proposal to build the memorial soon after May's death in Dec. 2003. Lt. Col. May retired from UCO in 2002 where he was vice president of Academic Affairs and a professor of military science. May was an active member of his church and Kiwanis club and he wrote for the Edmond Sun.

Dr. Robert McGill, chair of the Department of Theatre, Dance and Media Arts, said Rose State College, St. Gregory's University, Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, Northwestern Oklahoma State University and UCO will each perform a play in front of a respondent, whose role is to determine which plays advance to regionals. Dr. Douglas Getzoff, UCO theatre professor and coordinator of the event, said the university frequently hosts the festival. "It averages out that we host every other year," Getzoff said. McGill said there are many reasons why UCO hosts the event more than other schools. "We (UCO) are right here in the middle," McGill said. "And we probably do it very well. Our kids are well trained and they know how to do it (run the event)." McGill said UCO is probably the biggest school to enter, and smaller schools can barely afford the entry fee, much less host. Getzoff said the entry fee is $200 per school, and UCO gets to keep $75 from each entry

The new program to offer a UCO bachelor's degree in business at Rose State College has become more popular than anticipated in its first semester. "We know we have a very large population of students who want UCO degrees. It has even grown a little faster than we had initially expected," said Dr. William Radke, provost and vice president of UCO Academic Affairs. UCO and Rose State presidents Dr. W. Roger Webb and Dr. Jim Cook, respectively, signed the agreement July 21, for the new program at a ceremony at Rose. At the time of the signing 48 students were pre-enrolled in the program. Radke said the program offers students a way to get a UCO degree at a more convenient location. "There are a lot of reasons why they might not want to come to the main campus here at UCO to do this. These students are what we call adult learners, so they have jobs; they have families and all sorts of reasons that making the trip up here is difficult for them. So this provides them the opportunity to get a four-year degree without coming up here to do so," he said. Radke said another reason why UCO is implementing the new programs is to better the education level of the community. "UCO has a brain gain initiative to increase the number of citizens who have bachelor degrees," he said. "The partnership between

The Pegasus Astronomical Society hosted its only public "Star Party" of the semester from 7 to 11 p.m. Nov. 7 at Plunkett Park. Janet Laughlan, math education senior, said, "The society is a group of students. We do star parties and observe things that are happening in our skies." Laughlin said at the parties, members set up telescopes to view the sky and it's free to all students.
Dr. Charles Cooper, UCO College of Mathematics and Statistics chair and the club's adviser, said, "The society promotes the beauty and understanding of the night sky." One of the lessons Cooper said he wants students to learn is "an appreciation of the night sky and the glory of everything that's out there." Even if you don't have a telescope, the skies can still be appreciated, Cooper said. Thomas Williams, society president and engineering and physics sophomore, said, "We
do surveys, we do observations and submit our data to NASA." Williams said as one of the few astronomy clubs in Oklahoma, the society holds public star parties to get more people involved. "Most of the time we are just looking at various space phenomenon," Williams said. He said the main focus of this party was "gazing at the Mars opposition."

My Turn... My fellow Bronchos, There is nothing more refreshing than walking along the sidewalk and hearing the marching band pump out another incredible piece of music. There is nothing more exciting than going to a BSA step show and having the time of my life. There is nothing more liberating than walking by a statue that encourages you to just take a moment and "Breathe." What a great university this is.

CORRECTION The Vista reported on Tuesday, Nov. 8 that the UCO soccer team had 14 members. There are 21 players on the UCO soccer team.
Bikers, police, UCO students and residents of all different political and religious affiliations turned out to shield
Martin's family from a protest by members of the church, who have lately made a habit of protesting military funerals. The biker groups have adopted their own habit of revving their motorcycle engines to drown out their voices and holding flags and salutes up to block them from view. In the words of John Mellencamp, "Ain't that America?" It's a beautiful thing to see Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, atheists, churchgoers, uniformed military personnel, leather-clad veterans on motorcycles and others stand together against people who
truly deserve universal opposition. And what's more, it was all done legally and respectfully. No one threw firebombs or punches; no one was arrested. Westboro's right to free speech was preserved. Consideration for the family of the deceased was the real priority, and that goal was met. It's good to know that despite all our bickering we can agree that some things are still sacred, and take action together to make sure those things are protected.

Simple steps balance mental and physical health with academic demands
L
ook around your morning classes. Attendance may have noticeably dwindled lately, particularly before 10 o'clock and perhaps even • after. Some students have decided to drop at the last opportunity, while others are merely absent at random times now more often than usual during this last quarter. Having departed from just
the usual Friday desertion phenomenon, any given weekday is subject to lower turnout as we juggle seasonal illness, final projects, and personal issues. Gray mornings tempt us to stay under the covers, and the time change adjust still makes us take a double glance at the clock. Bouts of colds and the flu interrupt normal study habits, annoying infirmities that
can keep you from going to class for as much as a week or so even with the best remedies. Group work may be particularly hindered by classmates' absences, and exams, presentations, and major course papers follow in quick succession. Holiday plans, booking flights and balancing gifts with travel budgets, are often an odyssey in themselves that require extra time, research, and number crunching. Most of us have little time to assemble the perfect Thanksgiving dinner or get a jumpstart on Christmas shopping, tasks deferred to the last minute in favor of surviving more immediate daily pressures. Burnout may ultimately result from the combined effect, an official stress-related condition that keeps you from feeling
motivated or capable to face
current struggles. No one will call your mother if you miss a test or repeatedly skip class. Your adult status has earned you a certain amount of freedom, and a few simple strategies will help you keep on top of it with your health intact. Make a sincere effort to keep attending classes despite other pressures. Feeling prepared for your next test can come just from regular exposure to the material. Ask plenty of questions to feel more engaged, and don't be afraid to interact. If you really must miss, speak with your professor at least one class before and exchange contact information with someone in the course to get notes prior to returning. Cumulative absences throughout the semester will result in course failure despite your current average, and some
courses will register a lower grade after a predetermined number of no-shows or recorded instances of tardiness. Class syllabi are often misplaced or altered, so check your professor's policy and see how many more sessions you can afford to miss. Prevent illness with hand washing, good nutrition, and extra rest. Go to bed an hour earlier and prepare as much as possible the night before to dash out the door a little later after hitting the "snooze" button. Exercise will stimulate your immunity, besides releasing endorphins that promote a general sense of well-being. A multivitamin will also help your system defend itself against common ailments, especially if healthy meals have been more difficult to prepare recently with your hectic schedule. Prioritize what you have to
do. Make a list and decide what can wait. You can live with a messy apartment for another month if it means making a better physics grade. Delay returning phone calls and only answer argent e-mails. Your mental health may demand that you take a break, especially if you work on weekends or have family commitments. Dedicate one day to recuperate, sleep late, and enjoy a peaceful activity before heading back to the books with renewed energy. When you feel truly overwhelmed, switch your work schedule with a colleague, and ask for help from friends or relatives with other issues. Any schedule is feasible for a limited period of time.

WORD ON THE STREET: MEMBERS OF A KANSAS CHURCH PROTESTED THE FUNERAL OF PFC. DAVID J. MARTIN ON
NOV. 8
Compiled and photographed by Naomi Takebuchi and Brett Deering.
Do you think protestors at a soldier's funeral should be allowed First Amendment protection? "I don't think they should be allowed to go to funerals and riot against them. And, I don't think they understand that the person who died was protecting the country itself."
"No, I don't actually. It's a sign of disrespect to the fallen, especially since they were there serving their country."
"Gosh, that's hard. It's freedom of speech and I agree with that, but I completely disagree with them protesting the funerals."

UCO and Rose State College should be a great support for those students who are completing, or have completed, an associate degree and who want to pursue a baccalaureate degree," said Dr. Donna Guinn, assistant vice president of UCO Academic Affairs. Radke said the program has had a successful first semester on the Rose State campus. "One of the neatest things we discovered out there was that on the weekends over 60 percent of the students using the Rose State library are UCO students," he said. To further the progress of the students, Rose State is donating a building on their campus for the program. "They are using their dollars to refurbish the building," Radke said. He said the facility, which will include a commons area and a computer lab, is set to open in late spring or summer. While a new building is

to cover costs including food for the judges and printed programs. Getzoff said the theatre program received a grant from the Edmond Convention and Business Bureau to pay to have a respondent come out. They (respondents) recommend what shows go on," McGill said. "They may be able to pick two." McGill said winners of the local competition advance to a regional level. He said nominations are then made of plays and individuals to be considered to compete in Washington, D.C. "They (the respondents) get together and pick six shows to represent the best across the country," McGill said. "They seem partial to original scripts. I think they look for diversity." McGill said UCO regularly makes it to the regional level. The last time the program advanced to Washington, D.C. was in 1974 with "A Moon for the Misbegotten." This year, UCO theatre students are competing with "Pterodactyls." Matt Charnay, theatre performance junior, said he has competed in the festival since he was a freshman. He said he was even nominated beyond the regional competition for the `Irene Ryan Award' one year with a role he played in "Death of an Anarchist." The award was developed
by Irene Ryan, who played the grandmother in "The Beverly Hillbillies," to give a scholarship to the top actor or actress of the competition. He said even though he didn't win the award, he was chosen for an all-expenses paid trip to Washington, D.C. to watch the competition and participate in workshops on a national level. "I was the only person (from UCO) to go that year," Charnay said. Getzof said James Dolph, English instructor, won the 2005 Student Dramaturgy Award and went to Washington, D.C. for his work in "Two Gentlemen of Verona", which competed in the festival last year. McGill said a dramaturge is someone who is deeply involved in the production by researching things including the era of the play, language pronunciations and social issues. Charnay said he enjoys seeing shows from all over the state. "As artists we're kind of trapped in Oklahoma," Charnay said. "It's good to see fresh shows you've never seen before."

At its weekly meeting Nov. 7, the International Student Council voted 7-9 against an appeal to allow a re-match between the West Africa , and US7A. teams-in the-UCO World Cup soccer tournament. The U.S.A. team asked to reschedule a week before the Nov. 4 game because several members of their team would not be available. The game resulted in the West Africa team beating the shorthanded. U.S.A. team 5-1. Tempers flared and the game was terminated because of excessive fouls and misconduct, said Jalal Daneshfar, ISC adviser and referee of the UCO World Cup. Ray Ofosu, captain of the U.S.A. team, said the appeal was made because four members of his team missed the game because of religious commitments. Ademola Adeyemi, captain of the West Africa team and vot-
ing member of the council, said his team is busy preparing for the International Festival and would not have enough time to play in a rescheduled game. After debating for almost an hour, the council decided the semi-final game would not be re-scheduled and West Africa will play Japan in thefitialg-at 4 p.m. Nov.. 11.

Three brothers remember soldier as a prankster
from page 1 "He'll never be able to squeeze my head and tell me it's a gigantic melon like he used to," joked younger brother Daniel Martin, his voice cracking with emotion. "My heart will never heal right again. That's all right, I wouldn't want it to." David Martin's three brothers each delivered a brief speech, remembering their sibling as a prankster who loved being a soldier and serving his country. Neil Martin said his brother was born on the perfect day —April Fool's Day—because he
was a joker who loved to pull pranks. Rev. Adrian Cole recalled how David once dressed up for Halloween as "Adam," wearing only a fig leaf. "I don't know how much candy he got that year," Cole said. "Even in death, Dave was selfless," Neil Martin said, noting that in his will his brother left all of his belongings to his mother, except for a laptop computer that he left to a fellow soldier in Iraq who didn't
have one. Neil Martin said he and his brothers also frequently discussed getting identical tattoos but could never decide on an image that would be worthy of permanently etching on their bodies. David Martin's death, he said, helped them decide. Neil, Andrew and Daniel Martin each had an image of a set of dog tags, hanging from a cross, with the date of his birth and death and words that read, "My brother, my hero."

Daisy Bristow, director of "Pterodactlys", said she doesn't think the controversial issues the play displays will hurt its chances with the respondent. "It (theatre) is an art form," Bristow said. "They (respondents) know theatre is about life." Getzof said workshops will be offered to the theatre students Nov. 18 for movement, makeup, stage combat and audition techniques. He said that 'High School Drama Day' is also Nov. 18. High school students pay $10 to take workshops with college students, attend the two shows of the festival performed that day and attend "Independence", a smaller UCO theatre production, at 3 p.m. in Pegasus Theater. The festival will begin with Rose State College's performance of "True West" at 7 p.m. at their college. The other four performances will be Nov. 18 through Nov. 19 at 12:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in Mitchell Hall.

As the funeral was in progress many of the bikers rode down the street to a parking lot on the Southwest corner of 33rd and Boulevard to be ready to line up and salute the fttneral procession. A man in weathered black leather, a scarf, and sunglasses who identified himself as Diesel, of the Naysayer's Motorcycle Club in Midwest City, said the plan was for those on motorcycles to meet in the parking lot, then follow behind the procession. As the group waited, bikers from Kansas and Oklahoma mingled, shared war stories and their thoughts with one another about the Kansas protest group. The bikers from Kansas felt it important to stress that the protestors do not represent their state. Kansas affiliations and club logos included the names of each bikers hometown in yellow lettering on their jackets and vests bearing the names Mulvane, Florence and Andover. One of the riders with the Kansas flag displayed on her bike was Tammy Honn of the Kansas Legion Riders Post 136 from Mulvane, a town about 15 miles southeast of Wichita.

Humanities, journalism professor lives life
UCO student, DJ warned for Halloween tomfoolery
of adventure, rulebreaking, travel and cats Campus Profile: Professor Holly Easttom by Nathan Winfrey Vista Staff Writer
Humanities professor Holly Easttom probably holds the UCO record for most times kicked out of the Vatican, most recently for crossing a rope to touch a sculpture by Michelangelo. "I wanted to touch (it), but I knew I would be kicked out if I did. So I pretended to be blind, but I forgot to take my glasses off The gig was up, and I was out," Easttom said, talking fast with her windswept red hair carelessly tussled and hanging over her glasses. She said the guards would have probably believed her story if not for that telling detail, though she said she now knows it was wrong to fake a handicap. Adventurer, scholar and cat lover, Easttom has traveled the world exploring the historical sites that are now her career and passion. "I cannot imagine my life without teaching humanities," she said. She teaches five humanities classes at UCO three days a week and then drives to Shawnee, where she teaches journalism full-time at Oklahoma Baptist University. "I don't need the money," Easttom said of her UCO humanities classes. "It's just a fun class to me. It's my hobby." She also advises the OBU yearbook and newspaper, the
Bison. "I just love the atmosphere at UCO, especially this department," Easttom said. "As a teacher, I have a mixed philosophy. It breaks my heart when people take less away from this experience than they could... I want them to have fun, but they need to realize that this is their creation. They are the sum total of their experience," she said. Easttom said she wants prospective students to understand that while she tries to make her classes fun, they are difficult. "It's a tough class; it's not easy," Easttom said. "According to ratemyprofessor.com , I am challenging, yet goofy." She said out of 40 people at the beginning of the semester, she usually ends up with about 20 at the end and maybe six of those receive A's. Despite the hard work her students must complete, they seem to adore her. There is a facebook. com group that claims Easttom is
the greatest humanities professor ever, and it has more than 100 members. Easttom said she sits down once a week to answer all the messages students send her. Kara Locke, liberal arts senior with a humanities emphasis, said she changed her major because of Easttom. "She can take a subject that a lot of kids hate and make them turn it into their major," Locke said. "She's a little more animated, but on difficulty, she's a female Dr. Law." Law, known as the "Darth Vader" of the Humanities Department, is Easttom's mentor and the reason she teaches humanities, she said. Easttom said she received her first 'B' on a test in Law's class,
house and latch onto walls, so we knew something was wrong," she said. The vet prescribed strong medication for the cat that resembled Easttom's blue blood pressure pill. Once, she tried to medicate her cat and herself at the same time. "I popped the pills and as soon as the pills went into the respective mouths, I realized I had switched the hands," she said. Her cat was fine, but she said she had to tell her class what she had done to explain her peculiar behavior that day. Easttom said she's also famous for her really bad jokes. "I use them as threats," she said. If students start to complain, she asks them if they want to hear a joke, and they stop complain-
Professor Holly Easttom laughs in her office Nov. 2. which she found by accident and changed her life forever. She began to go to Law with questions and advice, and when she graduated she begged him for a chance to teach humanities. She had already substitute taught for him and other teachers, and he granted her wish. "He's been fantastic to me... he's a fantastic role model," Easttom said. "He gave me a shot when he didn't have to." "Sometimes you can just look out across a sea of students and know that they're full; if you cram one more fact into their heads, they're going to blow, so I'll just tell them a cat story," she said. "I'm famous for my cats. I'm the crazy cat lady, but I'm married so it doesn't count," she said. She would not reveal the exact number of cats she owns, but hinted, "Let's just say I had to get a kennel license." "Riku has an anxiety disorder. The cat would run through the
ing. Having lived in Thailand, Holland, England and Germany, Easttom's adventures have taken her to the far corners of the world, including a run-in with authorities when she tried to climb into a tunnel she found at the Sphinx in Egypt. "Armed guards suggested I not do that, but a little of the Sphinx rubbed off and I have a piece of Sphinx butt at home," she said. "I was blessed with being a military brat, so we traveled a lot. Also, my first husband was in the military," Easttom said. She was born in Stillwater, but moved to Germany with her parents and two older brothers when she was six months old. Her family moved back to America when she was 12, but she married young and moved back to Germany with her army husband. She has since divorced and happily remarried. "I'm married to the perfect

man," Easttom said She said his name is Steven Thompson. "I kept my last name; I'm a feminist." Together, they have a son named Schuyler. "He's 13 and brilliant," she said. She uses over 3,000 slides for each of her Humanities I and II classes. "That's really what this class is about, showing that history is alive. Art is alive," Easttom said. "For me the good art is proof in the possibility of perfection. can you get any better than that?" "I try to have a lot of fun, I hope it shows," she said. "For me as a student, the classroom was my clean, well-lighted place," she said. "...Because it's the only weapon you have against the absurdity. It's the only weapon you have against despair. For me, it was almost a religious experience." Easttom completed her bachelor's and master's degrees at UCO, and then began work on her Ph.D. at the University of Oklahoma in post-modern American literature, specializing in existentialism. "I'm a theistic existentialist. But obviously religion can't be a component in my class here, or politics," she said. She said she doesn't know whether she will continue with that degree, or if she will switch to communication. "I've been like a vessel on the water...a year ago, I would have said I would be teaching humanities full time, now I'm teaching journalism full time. Who knows where I'll be in a year?" Easttom said. "I'll teach at UCO for as long as they let me...where else can somebody pay you to talk about things you like and they have to pay attention?" she said. "I've had a good run. If I were to die tomorrow, no complaints," she-said.

New 'opera'tunities for students Jewelry artist offers by Courtney Bryce Vista Staff Writer
The School of Music's opera program will introduce a new technique of equal role-playing in its production of "Mostly Mozart" Nov. 15 and 16 at the UCO Jazz Lab. Kevin Eckard, assistant professor of voice and director of the opera program, said they usually perform one big opera a semester with a few lead roles and a big chorus. He said, however, that this semester the opera will be a collaboration of scenes from four different operas that will feature all students in the Opera Workshop class. "It's healthier for young developing voices and an opportunity for more performers to participate," Eckard said.
Jenny Diehl, liberal arts senior with a vocal performance minor, said she thinks having an opera program brings a little more 'class' to the school. "It adds classical music and introduces other languages," Diehl said. "You can take off your clothes in any show but to do it in Italian (is another thing)." "This production is part training through class," Eckard said. "We had a large enrollment. The real challenge was picking pieces that got all students involved." "It's been really nice where you actually have a part where you not only get to sing but also act," said Carol Hamiliton, music education sophomore. "You have a chance to work with lots of levels." Eckard said the performance is preparing students for a bigger production next semester.

From left: Carol Hamilton, music education sophomore, is dressed by Amanda Waterman, vocal music education senior, Nov. 8 in the Music Building during a rehearsal for an upcoming production that will include scenes from the opera "Figaro." Eckard said this is the first year UCO has offered an opera workshop class. He said the class meets from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday and most of the rehearsals are during that time. "Because we've changed this (opera) to scene performance, it is more education based instead of performance based," Eckard said. "Students learn important things that you don't have time to teach when you do a full show." Eckard said he's been working really hard to expand the program by offering this course in the curriculum. He said putting together performances in an offered class is widely used by other schools, even though this is the first year for the class at UCO.
Diehl said at one point in her scene her character disguises herself as a male doctor and has to sing in a German accent. "It's funny to see a soprano singing ugly on purpose," Diehl said. Diehl said her favorite part in the opera is when sophomore Shannon Love sings "Batti, batti" to freshman Myles Simpson. "I can't take my eyes off her when she sings to him because it's so sweet and she's so into it," Diehl said. "I've never seen an underclassman so passionate." Hamiliton said she is playing the role of Cherubino in "The Marriage of Figaro," which is another of the selected operas. She said her role is a boy. "It's been a little hard for me to act as a male so I had to observe men and the way they walk and talk," Hamiliton said. "In my scene I'm basically feeling all these hormones and feelings of love." Hamiliton said the hardest thing for her is singing in front of her peers. "You have to perform your scene and sing in front of your peers," Hamiliton said. "It's hard because they're your biggest critics." Eckard said he hopes people get an appreciation for this type of music and what it takes to perform it. "A lot of people have misconceptions of what classical is," Eckard said. "Opera is not boring and it's not something you should roll your eyes at or groan over," Diehl said. "It can be very interesting and very funny." Eckard said all students in the opera program are expected to perform well. ' They ve all -done - a good job -and they're all ,doing good work," Eckard said. "You expect them all to do well. You don't expect anyone to surprise you."
passion for metal by Courtney Bryce Vista Staff Writer
Hurricane Rita might have delayed jeweler and metal smith Arline Fisch from visiting UCO, but it didn't stop her from rescheduling her workshop in textile techniques in metal for Nov. 14. Charleen Weidell, assistant professor of art and coordinator of jewelry/metalsmithing and sculpture, said Fisch was one of her graduate professors at San Diego State University. "She'll be doing a handson for metal students," Weidell said. "She'll be teaching textile techniques in metal. She'll also be showing images of her work and others working in this field." Weidell said the art program has been redesigned this year to support areas of emphasis in studio art including ceramics, jewelry, painting and sculpture. "We offer a jewelry/metalsmithing major," Weidell said. Weidell said Fisch is part of the 'Visiting Artists' program, which is covered by student fees. She said this is the first year Fisch has visited UCO. Fisch said she earned a Bachelor of Science in Art degree from Skidmore College in New York. "I chose to go there because it had a large and fine art program," Fisch said. Fisch said she found her passion for working with metal when she went to graduate school. "I studied art in general (at Skidmore)," Fisch said. "And when I went to graduate school I began working with other materials. I was most compatible with metal." • -' Fisch said' sFie attended the University of Illinois in Champaign in 1952 where she earned a Masters of Art degree. After that she applied to the Copenhagen School of Arts and Courtney Bryce can be reached at Crafts in Denmark. cbryce@thevistaonline.com .

art students worked with an apprentice for five years before they could apply for design school. And even then, there was a chance they wouldn't be chosen to go to school. Fisch said her inability to speak Danish worked against her when she applied. "When the school finally decided to let me in, I learned Danish," Fisch said. Fisch said all the classes were in Danish, so it was also a necessity. She attended the school on a Fulbright Award. Fisch said she also received three other Fulbright Awards to research her craft in Denmark and to teach for six months in Austria and one month in Uruguay. Fisch said the San Diego State University was looking for someone to establish a jewelry program in their art department. "I guess the art department decided they wanted to expand their crafts program," Fisch said. Fisch said she established a curriculum and a studio for jewelry making at the university. Fisch also wrote a book called "Textile Techniques" in 1975, which went out of print. The second edition wasn't published until 1996. She was interviewed by a fellow artist in 2001 for the Smithsonian Archives for American Art. "The collection is made up of oral interviews of individual artists," Fisch said. Fisch said her work is displayed in collections around the world, including the Vatican Museum in Rome and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Fisch will give a presentation of her work at -6' p.m. on Nov. 14 in room 115 of the Education Building.

The school record is 32, set in 1994, while the 2002 team won 30 games and the 2001 squad won 26. UCO receives a bye in the opening round of the LSC tournament as the No.1 seed for the North.

UCO golfers struggle with Hawaii wind by Harry Gatewood III Vista Senior Sports Writer UCO is the lone Division II team in the Hawaii Fall Intercollegiate men's golf tournament in Kaneohe, Hawaii. The tournament is filled with NCAA Division I teams. The Bronchos finished day one of the tournament in ninth place.
The Bronchos shot a nasty 304 for the first round of the par-72 Kaneohe, Klipper Golf Course as winds gusted from 30-34 miles per hour. Twenty golfers shot higher than 80 on the day. New Mexico State leads the tournament at 283 with a three-shot lead over the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Baylor roars in at third
and San Diego State fourth in the 21-team tournament. All five UCO golfers didn't fall in the 80 plus category, as Todd Dayton and Matt Ellis both shot 75. Chris Hutson and Michael Vitale posted scores of 77, while Chance Cruson shot a 79. Dayton, a first-team AllAmerican for the Bronchos last year, was two-under-
par through 10 holes before bogeying three straight, driving a back-nine 41 for a 75. Ellis made the turn at evenpar 36 before making three bogeys on the closing nine. The Bronchos have finished no lower than second in their four fall tournaments. Harry Gatewood ICI can be reached at hgatewood@thevistaonline.
