Students to evaluate professors online ■ Students will need to get online to critique their classes and professors this semester. by Joseph Wertz Staff Writer Beginning this semester, students will evaluate their classes and professors online rather than by hand as part of a new program initiated by the office of Academic Affairs. Students are asked to evaluate the effectiveness of their classes and professors at the end of each semester by participating in a "Student Perception of Instructional Effectiveness" evaluation. The evaluations were handled by
Testing Services traditionally, but were outsourced to a private company last year due to cost cutting measures according to administration officials. "The Office of Testing Services needed equipment upgrades to continue doing the evaluations," said Dr. Patricia Lagrow, assistant vice president of Academic Affairs. "We decided to outsource the evaluations to save money." Doing the evaluations online will save around 54,000 dollars and won't necessitate using class time to fill them out "Students at UCO responded very
well to online enrollment. We are hoping this is the same for the evaluations," Lagrow said. Seventy-two percent of the surveys were filled out for the spring 2004 semester, and administrators are hoping the online evaluation will increase that percentage. Web-based evaluations at other schools have reported return rates as high as 90 percent. Students doing evaluations online were also more likely to leave comments. "The faculty finds student comments most effective," Lagrow said "The number and quality of student
comments on the (online) evaluations was much higher. It's most helpful to the faculty to inform them on what needs to be improved and what might have helped them." The Information Technology department will handle the programming of the evaluation as well as the statistical analysis. Evaluations will be from Nov. 15 to Dec. 10 and can be found online at http://Broncho.ucok.edu/iquest or by logging on to UCONNECT clicking the UCO evaluations link on the "My Courses" page.

Tree planting ceremony to celebrate donations by Sarah Skinner Staff Writer The UCO International Office and National Collegiate Network of Japan will host a Cherry Blossom Tree Planting Ceremony beginning at 9 a.m., Nov. 12, at the southeast corner of Evans Field. The National Collegiate Network Foundation will donate five cherry blossom, or Sakura, trees to UCO to promote growth in the educational exchanges between Japan and the United States and to celebrate the relationship between the two countries. "We envision the day when they are blooming," said Ronald L. Paddack, director of International Student Services. "We will have our own cherry blossom festival just like they do in Washington, D.C." The ceremony is open to UCO students and there will be free Japanese food. The Japan American Society of Oklahoma will also provide dance entertainment. Ceremony speakers include: a speaker from Japan, Kathryn E. Gage, Vice President of Student Services, Ronald L. Paddack and Yuka Kawai, a senior Management Information Systems major. Yosuke Yamamoto, a vocal student, will sing a Japanese song at the ceremony, and Rebecca Teeters will sing the national anthem. According to the N.C.N. Foundation, U.S. colleges and universities continue to attract an increasing number of Japanese students. The number of Japanese students studying in the United States has tripled over the past decade. Nearly 50,000 Japanese students are enrolled in American universities. "We have 361 Japanese students this semester," said Ronald L Paddack. "So, they are a sizeable group on the campus."

Graduate strives to better lives of orphaned Ukranian children ■ Timber Massey joined the Peace Corps after graduating from UCO in 2002. She now lives and works in the Ukraine teaching English. by Lauren Pulsinelli Senior Staff Writer Most people begin job searching or go to graduate school after receiving their bachelors degrees, but UCO graduate Timber Massey decided to join the Peace Corps. At 12 years old, she said she decided volunteering for the Peace Corps was something she wanted to do. "I had a friend whose parents met while serving as Peace Corps volunteers in Africa. They used to tell me so many amazing stories about their experiences there," Massey said. But it wasn't until after she graduated from UCO in December 2002 and went backpacking through Europe for a few months that she signed into the Corps. Her plane landed in Ukraine in October of 2003.

Peace Corps member seeks to collect donations from UCO for children at orphanage by Lauren Pulsinelli Senior Staff Writer Although many charities have begun collecting items for worthy causes in America, Timber Massey is asking that UCO students, faculty and staff donate items for Ukranian orphans. "The children desperately need new clothes and shoes. Every time that I go to visit them they are wearing the same exact clothes," Massey said. "Their clothes are old and tattered. It is often difficult to tell the boys from the girls because all of the girls have short hair, and the girls often have to wear boy's clothes and vice versa. Most
of all them need warm clothes and shoes for the cold Ukrainian winters." The director of the orphanage also said it would be nice to have film for a Polaroid camera to take pictures of the children. They purchased a Polaroid camera, but they cannot afford any film because it's So expensive, she said. "They would like to have pictures so that the orphans will have some way to remember their childhood," she said. "And of course, toys would be greatly appreciated because right now they hardly have anything to play with

Every politician seeks to enact legislation and make policy decisions based on their own values and beliefs; this is without exception. Individuals who embrace our values govern in a way that we approve of I would propose that what frustrates the writer of the editorial isn't that people are voting based on moral values, but rather that the moral values of the majority of our nation are in direct contrast to her or his own.
Dear Editor, The idea that "Morality and democracy shouldn't mix" put forward in The Vista's Nov. 4 staff editorial is simply preposterous. Our laws are not "designed to equalize opinion into a rational set of rules that we can all live by." Rules are established on the basis of moral principles, and the idea that a democracy could exist without these principles is contradictory. Laws are an extension and representation of our moral views. I .assert that we should adamantly support individuals

THE BODY POLITICK
Political parties don't get to set the agenda Disappointment isn't a strong enough word to describe how many in the Democratic Party are feeling right now, but losing the presidential election could be a benefit to the Democratic Party. It can be chalked up to word choice or conversational tone, but there was an air around many in the Democratic Party that anyone who would dare vote for Bush was a complete moron. Issues aside, this strategy has failed — twice. Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana said, "We (the Democratic Party) need to be a party that stands for more than the sum of our resentments." Resentment is running thick and you can hear the bad taste in the mouths of democrats everywhere. It is impossible to convince people that they are inherently dumb. While

in favor of equal rights of homosexuals. You know this because they are vocal about it. What many Democrats aren't vocal about is their religion, or what guides their morality. Since most Americans are religious, then why don't Democrats speak more about religion and morality? It makes many democrats angry that such seemingly simplistic values is what guides choices in many parts of America. But it's not going to change anytime soon. American voters cast ballots for people they can relate to, who they feel represents their feelings and ideas. Republicans win elections by focusing their efforts on specific issues they know people care about and vote for. Republicans care about winning, and they are getting good at knowing
exactly what it takes to do so. The Democratic Party needs to listen to the agenda that American voters set. It's ultimately up to them. You can't ignore what Americans see as important. And like it or not, Americans vote for family, religion and morals. Instead of trying to convince voters that you are dumb for voting on a moral basis, they should spend some effort putting their issues in a moral light. There are countless gay couples in America, with high family values that go to church and don't live in depravity. I know this because I know some of them. Yes, even here in Oklahoma... if you can find them in the heartland why can't the Democratic Party bring some attention to them?

You will never win an election trying to get people to vote to an issue. To win, you need to find the issue that people care about, and prove that your issues fit within a standard. The democrats didn't know their audience very well. Eighty-three percent of Americans describe themselves as Christians. Whether or not this should be a campaign issue, it is. What inspires people to vote? In 2004 it wasn't the economy, terrorism or Iraq. Voters cast ballots based on "moral issues." Gay marriage and abortion are two big issues that are based on voter's perceptions of morality. You can be prochoice and for gay rights and still be a moral person; you can even be a Christian. Many democrats are pro-choice and

NEWS IN BRIEF Ashcroft, Evans resign from Bush cabinet WASHINGTON - They served President Bush in different ways, but both will leave large, empty chairs in the Cabinet Room: Attorney General John Ashcroft, the face of the administration's tough tactics against terrorism, and Don Evans, the longtime friend who headed the Commerce Department, are leaving the president's team. Both resigned Tuesday, the first members of the Cabinet to leave as Bush heads from re-election into his second term.
U.S. forces hold 70 percent of Fallujah NEAR FALLUJAH, Iraq - American forces bottled up guerrillas in a narrow strip of Fallujah's alleys and streets Wednesday after a stunningly swift advance that seized control of 70 percent of the insurgent stronghold. In Baghdad, kidnappers abducted two members of Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's family, the government said. A militant group calling itself Ansar al-Jihad claimed in a Web posting to have carried out the kidnapping and threatened to behead the hostages within 48 hours unless the siege of Fallujah was lifted and prisoners were freed. The claim's authenticity could not immediately be verified.
Death of UCO journalism student remains under investigation â– Angela Abbitt's death may be one of many alcohol-related deaths of college students around the country. by The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY - The Oklahoma medical examiner's office is investigating whether alcohol played a role in the Oct. 21 death of a student at the University of Central Oklahoma. Angela Abbitt, 24, was found dead on a friend's couch the morning after drinking with friends at a southwest Oklahoma City club. "We are awaiting the results of toxicology tests," said Kevin Rowland, chief investigator for the state medical examiner. Physical trauma has been eliminated as a cause of death. Alcohol is "highly suspected" of playing a significant role based on information provided to police, Rowland said. Vicki Abbitt, Angela's mother, said friends of her daughter told her she was
drinking from midnight to 2 a.m. at the club on the day she died. "She had three of the free beers," her mother said. "She also had two of what they call Jager Bombs, which is Red Bull mixed with Jagermeister." After the club closed, Angela Abbitt caught a ride to a friend's home and had another beer before going to sleep on the couch, friends told her mom. "Then she just didn't wake up," Vicki Abbitt said. Red Bull is a nonalcoholic, high-caffeine energy drink and Jagermeister is an imported liqueur. Several alcohol-related deaths of college students have been reported around the country in recent months. University of Oklahoma freshman Blake Hammontree was found dead in a Norman fraternity house in September following a night of drinking at a frater-
nity party. Hamniontree's blood-alcohol content was 0.42, more than five times the amount considered legally intoxicated. A second OU student was hospitalized after drinking at another fraternity party. In Colorado,. at least five alcohol-related deaths of college students have been reported this year. A 24-year-old Colorado Mountain College student who died of heart and lung failure because of alcohol is apparently the latest to die from excessive drinking. Joseph Michael Osborne's body was found at an off-campus house in Steamboat Springs, Colo., on Oct. 27. Osborne had a blood alcohol content of 0.302, more than three times the legal limit, Routt County Coroner Rob Ryg said.
Bush picks Gonzales to succeed Ashcroft WASHINGTON - With a hug and words of high praise, President Bush named Alberto Gonzales as attorney general on Wednesday, elevating the administration's most prominent Hispanic to a highly visible post in the war on terror. "His sharp intellect and sound judgment have helped shape our policies in the war on terror," Bush said of the man who has served as the White House's top lawyer over the past four years.
Trade deficit narrows to $51.6 billion WASHINGTON - The U.S. trade deficit shrank to $51.6 billion in September, an improvement brought about as exports posted their best month on record. The latest snapshot of trade activity, reported by the Commerce Department on Wednesday, came after the deficit had swelled to $53.5 billion in August _ the secondhighest level ever registered. September's trade deficit represented a 3.7 percent reduction from August. The size of the deficit in September turned out to be smaller than the roughly $53 billion or $54 billion deficit that some economists were forecasting. The narrowing in the trade gap in September came as exports rose and imports fell. Exports of goods and services grew to a record $97.5 billion in September, marking a 0.8 percent increase from the previous month. Exports were helped by a weaker dollar, which makes U.S. goods cheaper to foreign buyers, and improving foreign demand.
State drops in rate of female incarceration TULSA, Okla. - Only Mississippi puts more women, per capita, behind bars than Oklahoma, according to new statistics. Mississippi incarcerates 134 women per 100,000 females in the population, up from 126 last year, according to a U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics report released this week. Oklahoma incarcerates 127 women per 100,000 females in the population. Last year, the state's figure was 131. Since 1993, Oklahoma had led the nation in sending more women, per capita, to jail. Oklahoma is fourth in the nation in overall incarcerations per 100,000 people. Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas have a bigger portion of their populations in prison than Oklahoma. Between 1995 and 2003, Oklahoma saw a 3.1 percent increase in females incarcerated, compared to Mississippi's 13.4 percent increase, according to the report. State prison officials can't explain the decline.

Last semester she taught English at the local medical and technical schools, and this semester she started working at the local orphanage near her home called "Baby Nest." The orphanage is for children three to six years old, with a total of 70 children - 40 boys and 30 girls. In Ukraine, the orphanages are divided into four different levels, Massey said. The first level is for healthy children who have been abandoned by their parents, or whose parents' rights have been taken away. The second level is for children who are slow in mental development. The third level is for children who are physically ill. The fourth is for children who are physically and mentally ill. "When I look at these children, I cannot believe that anyone could abandon them. They are all so precious and unique," Massey said. Many of the orphans had parents who were addicted to drugs or alcohol or were too young or too poor to take care of them, she said. Massey

MOVIE REVIEW
`End of the Century' a bittersweet homage to the Ramones The Ramones are one of those bands that transcended commercial success to exert a much more powerful influence than could have been predicted on popular culture at large. "End of the Century" Review by Michael Robertson
Many of their predecessors like The Velvet Underground, The MC5 and The Stooges are cut from the same cloth, not selling many albums during their creative peak, but building a cult fan base that spread their aesthetic throughout the next generations of young musicians, who would eventually carry the torch of punk rock into Top 40 radio. But unlike those other bands, The Ramones are starting to achieve a new sort of iconic fame as the penultimate
underdogs, staunch believers in their own vision of rock-n-roll that gutted out more than thirty years of obscurity with only the bare minimum of material comfort, much less public accolades. The 2003 documentary "End of the Century," which was shown recently at the Sam Noble Museum of Art and is soon to be released on DVD, breaks through the mythology of The Ramones and tells the story of four losers from Forest Hills, Queens, N.Y., who, with nothing to do and nowhere to go, decided to amuse themselves with drums and guitars and somehow changed the musical landscape forever. The documentary opens with the surviving members of The Ramonesbeing inducted into the RockN-Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, an event that would have been unimaginable to them at the band's inception in 1974. Through old home footage and
interviews taken at different times through the years, directors Jim Fields and Michael Gramaglia paint a fairly complete picture of the dynamics of the band. The picture isn't pretty. Apparently, the members of The Ramones could barely stand each other. Singer Joey Ramone (real name Jeff Hyman) held a grudge for years against guitarist Johnny (real name John Cummings) for stealing his girlfriend and marrying her. The band's resident screw-up and bass player Dee Dee (a.k.a. Douglas Colvin) provides bittersweet comic relief as he recounts his fights with the other band members, his struggles with addiction and his many brushes with death. Drummer Tommy (Thomas Erdelyi) provided a lynch-pin of rational logic in the early years, but quit playing with the band due to eventual burnout to become their producer. A huge cast of characters, including
fill-in Ramones member and Clash member Joe Strummer, and a huge number of underground New York rock luminaries give their take on The Ramones and what they meant to them, giving the documentary a feel of real history. The section dealing with Phil Spector holding the band hostage in the studio with a gun is one of those classic rock-n-roll stories worth the price of admission. The sad part of the story stems from the fact that three out of four of the original band members are dead, starting with Joey in 2001 of cancer, followed by Dee Dee in 2002 of a drug overdose, and the most recent, the death of Johnny from cancer in 2004, which occurred after production of the film had stopped. Knowing this going in, the documentary has the feel of an extended eulogy. It is said that the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame induction . would have •
meant the most to Hyman, who missed the ceremony by a year, and watching the induction is doubly sad knowing that Dee Dee died only a few months after the footage was made. Despite whatever sadness there is in the story of The Ramones, what really defines this film is the music. The ferocity of The Ramones musical attack comes through loud and clear, fueled, rather than impeded by their personal and professional problems. And that is the point. Rather than letting themselves remain 'punk losers,' working dead-end jobs and sniffing glue, the members of The Ramones translated their problems and fury at the world into art. They may not have made as much money as they would have liked along the way, but their legacy speaks with a louder, more authoritative and poignant voice than mere dollars ever could.

`Learned Ladies' to debut next week ■
The play will be at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 18 through 20 and at 2 p.m. Nov. 21 in Mitchell Hall. by Kelley Chambers Staff Writer `The Learned Ladies,' a French comedy written in the 1700's will be performed by members of the Theatre Department, Nov. 18'through 21 in Mitchell Hall. The story takes place in the home of Chrysale, described in the script as a "well-to-do bourgeois," who lives with his wife and daughters, a group of intellectually refined ladies. The problem is that Chrysale's dominating pedantic wife pushes him around, and one of his daughters just happens to be in love, much to his wife Philaminte's disapproval. Theatre senior Matthew Hammervold plays Chrysale. He said that his character's biggest dilemma is his wife. "She's into verbal abuse and he's terrified," Hammervold said. "He's just finding his backbone and being able to stand up to his wife." Devon James, another theatre senior plays Henriette, the object of suitor Clitandre's desire, played by Matthew Charnay. Henriette has her father's approval to many Clitandre, but not the blessing of her overbearing sisters and mother. "She is one of the smartest ones in the house truly," James said. "She's in love and in love with the idea of children and marriage and getting out of the house." Madness ensues when a self-
centered con man comes mincing onto the scene trying to sweep Henriette away by first winning over her mother and sisters by reciting long-winded poetry. Henrietta must quickly convince her father to stand up to her mother, in favor of Clitandre, before she is married off to the wrong man. Slowly Chrysale is able to muster the courage to confront his wife and stump for Henriette and Clitandre's love, with the help of his brother and alcohol. "He gets more confidence when his brother is around and when more people are around," Hammervold said. "The alcohol gives him liquid courage." The play was written by French playwright Jean Baptiste Poquelin Moliere, and is the first main stage show directed by newly acquired theatre professor Daisy Kopp. "It's been wonderful. The cast and the artistic staff has been fantastic to collaborate with. Everyone is so creative and enthusiastic and hard working," Kopp said. "They go above and beyond the norm." Kopp has also recruited several other diverse academic Photo by Justin Avera departments to help with certain aspects of the play to give Adam Lake, theatre performance senior; Devon James, theatre performance senior; Annie Macumber, theatre performance junior; and authenticity to her intellectual Sara Craig, theatre arts junior, rehearse for 'The Learned Ladies' Nov. 3 in Pegasus Theatre. ladies.

UCO music faculty Drs., Sam Magrill, Tess RemySchumacher and Ron Howell will perform German composer Johannes Brahms', "Trio in A minor, Op.114, for Clarinet, Cello and Piano" and an original piece composed by Magrill entitled "Hommage a Brahms." "The idea was to write something that mixed French and German aspects, then write something reminiscent of
Brahms or that might remind someone of Brahms," Magrill said. The concert will also be the debut of the UCO Faculty Woodwind Quintet, which was formed this semester. The faculty in the quintet include Earl Hefley on flute, Kathrine McLemore on oboe, Howell on clarinet, Dr. Ted Honea on horn and Dr. Lori Wooden on bassoon.

"The leadership and the hard work they put in every single game, that experience of being there for four years and knowing the big games and what needed to be done and their personality. They're not just good players, but good people as well. That always is going to be something that we miss," said head coach Mike Cook. UCO had made the National Tournament for two years 'straight, dropping to Metropolitan State in 2002 and 2003. Joining Gulisao on the firstteam All-LSC unit was sophomore midfielder Lindsey Hull. Fischer, freshman midfielder Sarah Addison, junior fullback Anna Snedeker, senior fullback Stephanie Finley were second team All-LSC selections. Sophomore forward Audri Habibi and senior midfielder Lily Defee were on the Honorable Mention list. UCO finished 13-6-2 on the year before being beaten in the semifinals of the conference tournament. "It was a lot of fun coaching this team this year. We had a lot of good team chemistry, we worked hard every game and never made excuses, we just didn't get as many balls in the goals as we needed to," Cook said.
