Joseph Harzheim and Juliana Escobar perform a Latin dance during the International Festival Nov. 9 in the Nigh University Center ballroom.

According to the International Student Committee, the 31st UCO International Festival Nov. 9 in Nigh University Center was a huge success with more than 1,000 people attending the program. The festival marked the finale of the International Week. “This is the biggest and best the festival has ever been,” said Glenn Freeman, UCO international adviser. The Ronald L Paddock Scholarship, started in honor of the founder and former director of International Student Services, was also announced. “The scholarship will benefit international students with financial difficulties,” said Freeman. With nine different performances from all over the world and a stall display combined with food festival in the Grand Ballroom A, B and C, the theme this year was “Gliding Through The World’s Cultures.” Each participating country or the international student organizations had designed their own kites and hung it over their stall. However, since not all kites were built to fly, the originally planned kite-flying event after the festival had to be scrapped. The stall displays were elaborate and many participating countries used tents to shelter their space and recreate architectural and cultural significance. Pakistan won the stall display contest. Its stall was elaborately covered with straw and an idyllic scene of a rustic Pakistani village had been recreated. “We worked really hard on this and I’m so glad we won,” said Khusro Iqbal of the Pakistani Student Association.

by Ivo Lupov Staff Writer UCO Forensic Institute launched a two-day workshop on DNA auditor testing Nov.7 and Nov. 8 in the Nigh University Center. The FBI has a responsibility to ensure the quality of DNA testing. Auditor training provides knowledge of how laboratories should comply with equal laboratory standards. This was the first midwest region’s type of audit training, Adams said. “I wanted to bring this kind of quality training here not only to UCO, but to the state of Oklahoma,” Adams said. Adams, originally part of the DNA Advisory Board which developed the testing standards, said there are two separate sets of standards. One is created to preserve all convicted offenders’ samples and the other for forensic DNA casework. Two FBI laboratory representatives presented the workshop: Richard Guerrieri, chief of the DNA Analysis Unit and Heather Seubert, DNA examiner. Since the creation of the database in 1998, 30,000 cases have been solved due to the state partnership in sharing such information, Adams said. Every cell in the human body has a genetic material. Among 99.9 percent of its information is the same among all people, which is related to basic work of the cell itself. The remaining 0.1 percent is unique for every person, and is used in labs to identify criminal evidence. The only case where there is a 100 percent identical DNA is between identical twins. “Currently there are 175 laboratories [in the country] that do DNA analysis,” Adams said. Equal testing standards are required for DNA laboratories to become part of the National DNA Database, Adams said. “Standards are different

Guidelines recommend, but you have to have the standards,” Adams said. “Any laboratory that does DNA testing has to follow these standards. Every lab that does DNA testing has to be part of the National DNA Database.” “Close to 20 percent of the solved crimes are interstate. The crime happened in one state and the convicted offender’s sample was collected in another state,” Adams said. Columbia Law School’s research shows there is a five percent failure rate in the United States justice system. The workshop is preparing the law enforcement representatives to evaluate their laboratory, based upon these standards. Everybody attending will receive a certificate showing a full understanding of the DNA standards and how to apply them. The event is to create continuing education for professionals and bring higher educational levels to UCO’s forensic students. Ivo Lupov can be reached at ilupov@thevistaonline.com.

Holocaust survivor discusses life experiences during WWII “Fate has placed upon me an unprecedented and painful duty of telling what happened in the Holocaust. Yet, the lessons of the Holocaust still haven’t been learnt." -Michael Breston by Abha Eli Phoboo Staff Writer

Michael Breston speaks in Constitution Hall about the Holocaust Nov. 9.

Route 66 turns 80

After four years, Holocaust child survivor Michael Breston returned to UCO to commemorate Kristallnacht Nov. 9 in Nigh University Center with a presentation and lecture that recounted his experience during World War II. Kristallnacht, meaning Night of Broken Glass in German, marked the night 68 years ago when the Nazis of the Brown Shirts participated in a night of wanton destruction. “With Kristallnacht, the Nazi state clearly sanctioned violence against the Jews in Germany,” said Jeff Plaks, associate professor of History and Geography. “Killing units called Einsatzgruppen under the command of the SS followed, their task was to murder Communist officials and Jews.” “Typically, the Einsatzgruppen herded their

victims into fields to be shot and buried in mass graves. Sometimes they enlisted local anti-Semites to assist them. They killed about one and half million Jews,” added Plaks. He said by the time the death camps were liberated in 1945, the Nazis had murdered about six million Jews, or roughly two/third of European Jewry. Michael Breston was born in Rafalowka, a small town in eastern Poland. He lived in the ghetto until Sept. 29, 1939, when his mother and brother were killed. Having been forced to hide in an attic with a false wall, Breston managed to survive but still struggles with survivor’s guilt. “Fate has placed upon me an unprecedented and painful duty of telling what happened in the Holocaust. Yet, the lessons of the Holocaust still haven’t been learned. Even as we speak, genocides are taking place in Africa,” said Breston. “The Germans made slaves

not properly dressed in freezing cold, had dogs chase me, and lived through it all,” he added. “The entire process of surviving depended on luck. We lived running from barn to bar, forest to swamp with no personal belongings.” Breston and his father met with an uncle and his family and together they built a bunker where they managed to hide with five other Jews. At night, they would go to the farmers’ fields to ask for food. “We were in a little town where priests encouraged his congregation to save Jews. That was rare because German farmers were encouraged to report Jews for a kilo of sugar per head. If you reported five Jews, you got five kilos of sugar,” added Breston. Soon after, Breston joined a partisan group. “My function

out of the Jews. You would think they would be happy with free labor but now, they treated the Jews badly after dehumanizing them,” he adds. The Jewish ghettos were liquidated with massacre and other inhumane activities. At 10 years old, Breston hid from the Nazis in the attic room. One day, Nazi soldiers came into the house and talked of taking down planks, which formed the false wall, and use them to make fires to keep warm in the winter. “I was terrified but thankfully, they never did it. That was my first miracle on the road to survival,” said Breston. Breston soon met his father who had stayed outside the village. Together, father and son traveled through dark woods and lived through circumstances that Breston believes he could not have survived under normal circumstances. “I’ve spent nights in the forest where wolves roamed,

STAFF EDITORIAL In the news today we hear a lot about terror organizations spouting religious rhetoric and trying to link that to their cause in Iraq or another former fascist country. My Muslim friends always say Islam is a religion of peace and my Christian friends say to turn the other cheek by not retaliating. I haven’t seen either ideology practiced much. America is primarily a Christian nation, so why isn’t it turning the other cheek? I can’t imagine Jesus spreading “freedom” by strapping on an M-16. What’s with this Orwellian doublespeak? Mission Iraqi Freedom has turned into more of an American occupation. What about the fact that we helped put Saddam Hussein in power and supplied him with weapons? Yes, we were wrong about the weapons of mass destruction and the connection between Iraq and al Qaeda. Actually, there is a connection.

We are the connection. We helped supply Osama Bin Laden with weapons to fight the Soviets in the 1990s, which led to the Taliban control of Afghanistan. With the recent resignation of Donald Rumsfeld, our Yale-educated, cowboy president might gain a new perspective on this immensely unpopular war. Here’s a song from John Lennon titled “Imagine.” “Imagine there’s no countries, it isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too. Imagine all the people, living life in peace.” Lennon’s lyrics may sound naïve but they make more sense than what George Bush or Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Instead of focusing on the virgins you’ll get in heaven or how big your palace will be that Jesus promised, people should live for today. We might as well

worship Santa Claus. He has undying dedication toward selflessness and hard work. At least he brings presents to all the good little children in one day. Maybe we should focus on world peace instead of the advancements of our religious ideologies. Let’s face it, your religion and other religions all believe in an invisible man watching down on you. Now, who’s naïve, you or a Beatle from Liverpool? If you look into your religious texts and don’t come across toleration and peace, look into your heart. I’m not saying abandon your religion. But live for today, live life in peace and share the world. “You may say that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one.”

Breston from page 1 was to find out in advance if there were any obstacles in mission and be a detective,” said Berston. Breston acknowledged that the experience had altered his view on God and religion. “I couldn’t understand how God could allow such a catastrophe to take place.” With time, he said, he had learnt to reasonably talk to Germans. “In the beginning, when I met a German, I reacted internally even though I didn’t express it. As I grew older, I realized that you cannot blame the children of the Nazis for what their parents did. Germany is a democratic country now and the children are trying to make amends,” he added. After liberation, Breston returned to his Polish town and lived under the Soviets who promised to send him to school. They did send him but told him he had to work part-time in the mines. Breston refused and went to study elsewhere. Even years after the war had ended, Breston says he experienced nightmares and relived the memories of the Holocaust. “I couldn’t speak about it. When I came to America in March 1951, I got another shock. Jews were discriminated against here. I had to be very careful what profession I got into.” Breston received a degree in engineering from the University of Maryland and began work. However, the memory of the Holocaust persists with time. “It is only diplomatically that you can resolve such issues. The only way to do so is probably have the United Nations create a separate multi-national force just to prevent genocides,” he added.

International from page 1 in the performance competition. The basis of the dance that they showcased, a ‘Bhaangra’, reflected the quiet simplicity and contentment of the lives of the Pakistani villagers. Japan with its Taiko drum display won the main trophy in the performance category. The Japanese students

had made their own drums and the beat they played imitated the drumbeats that were used to send messages across great distances during battles. Nepal came third with their dance to a rather tragic song “Jindagani Darpan Chhaya” (meaning Life is Like a Mirror), which was taken

from a hit Nepali movie of the 90s. The dancers wore costumes from various castes and regions of the country. Nepal also stood second in the stall display category with its recreation of the image of ‘Kumari’ or the Living Goddess of Nepal. “A girl from the Shakya clan is chosen and made the Kumari until she reaches puberty. She is worshipped as the Living Goddess by all Hindus,” said Sony KC, vice president of the Nepali Student Association. The Association of Latin American Students came in third

in the stall display contest. They had mixed the varied cultures of the Latin American countries. This was also a theme carried into their dance performance. “This was my first International Festival here and the organizing committee did a wonderful job,” said Dr. Dennis Dunham, director of International Student Services.

Route 66 turns 80

news in brief

Bush, panel meet on course of Iraq war WASHINGTON (AP) _ President Bush met Monday with a bipartisan group seeking consensus on a new approach for the war in Iraq amid widespread agreement that the administration's current efforts have not worked well enough or fast enough. White House press secretary Tony Snow described the meeting as a conversation in which both sides shared views. "This is not a deposition," Snow said. Further, he said there was not a presentation of alternatives but rather an assessment of the situation on the ground now.

WASHINGTON (AP) _ The National Mall in Washington will get its first monument to an African American, Martin Luther King Junior. Ordinary and no-so-ordinary Americans took part in the groundbreaking Monday, including Oprah Winfrey, poetnovelist Maya Angelou and former President Bill Clinton.

Route 66 celebrates its 80th anniversary this week, making it one of the oldest highways in the United States. AP Story Old U.S. Highway 66 marks its 80th anniversary on Saturday, and even though the roadway has fallen into disrepair in some places, efforts to preserve the spirit of the highway continue. The National Park Service has a Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program, and this week in Oklahoma City, representatives from the eight states through which the highway travels _ Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California _ met and visited two restoration projects that are being funded with federal cost-share grants. One of those properties is Owl Court in Oklahoma

City, which likely started in the early 1930s as a gas station. By the 1940s, it included a garage, cafe, motel rooms and a managerial residence. John Dunning said he bought the property to keep it from becoming a parking lot. He’s been renovating the property for three years, with the intention of opening small motel rooms. That plan made him eligible for $10,000 in Park Service grants, but he must match that amount with money, materials or labor. Another Oklahoma City property on the highway undergoing renovation is the Tower Theatre. The preservation committee approved funding to help repair the theatre’s neon marquee. Those attending this week’s

meeting wanted to see examples of how other Route 66 properties might be restored, said Michael Taylor, a representative of the federal Route 66 preservation program. The idea of the grant program is to assist current owners of Route 66 properties in restoring buildings that might not be eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, Taylor said. The grants say, “This is an important property on Route 66. This is a stamp of approval,” Taylor said. He said the old highway now appeals primarily to those in an older generation and to foreign tourists.

Israeli PM arrives in U.S. for talks WASHINGTON (AP) _ Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert brought his concerns over Iran's nuclear threat to the White House on Monday and offered assurances he was not looking for a confrontation with Tehran. "I am not looking for wars," he declared in advance of his meeting with President Bush. "This is not an issue of Israel only," Olmert said of Iran's nuclear efforts, which Israel and the United States say is aimed at building nuclear weapons. "This is a moral issue of the whole world."

Bus bomb kills 20 in Baghdad BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) _ A bomb tore through in a minibus in a largely Shiite Baghdad neighborhood Monday, killing at least 20 people and wounding 18. Gunmen killed at least 10 people, including a television cameraman, a city councilman and a Sunni sheik, in executions and assassinations around Iraq. Gen. John Abizaid, commander of all U.S. forces in the Middle East, met with the country's Shiite prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, to "reaffirm President Bush's commitment" to success in Iraq, the government said. The two discussed the effects Iran and Syria were having on Iraq's security, according to the Iraqi government statement.

S. Korea not ready to join Odds and ends in the news U.S.-led ship interception

AP Lee Jin-man

South Korean Unification Ministry official Lee Kwan-se answers a reporter's questions during a news conference at the government house in Seoul, South Korea. South Korea insisted Monday it is doing enough to prevent weapons proliferation from neighboring North Korea and refused to fully join a U.S.-led counter-proliferation initiative in the wake of Pyongyang's nuclear test. By JAE-SOON CHANG AP Writer South Korea balked Monday at Washington’s demand that it fully join a U.S.-led effort to intercept North Korean ships suspected of carrying supplies for the North’s nuclear and missile weapons programs. The South insisted that it was already doing enough to stem possible weapons proliferation from North Korea which detonated a nuclear bomb on Oct. 9 and announced no new measures to sanction the North under a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning the test. The decision underscored Seoul’s reluctance to anger Pyongyang and complicated efforts to resolve the standoff over the North’s nuclear program now that the communist regime has agreed to return to long-stalled international

nuclear disarmament talks. “It’s basically not necessary to take (new) measures,” Park In-kook, a deputy foreign minister, said at a news briefing. Seoul has joined the U.S.-led initiative, aimed largely at stopping North Korean weapons traffic at sea, only as an observer out of concern that its stopping and searching North Korean ships could lead to armed clashes. Monitoring North Korean shipping would be much more difficult without South Korea, because countries in the initiative can only conduct searches within the territorial waters of participating countries. Ships on the high seas have right of free passage under international law. South Korea is to submit a report Monday on how it would carry out the unanimously adopted Security Council resolution to a U.N. committee charged with overseeing

the sanctions on North Korea. The resolution bans the sale of major arms to North Korea and calls for the inspection of cargo entering and leaving the country. It also calls for the freezing of assets of businesses supplying the North’s nuclear and ballistic weapons programs, as well as restrictions on sales of luxury goods and travel bans on Pyongyang officials. South Korea has rejected criticism that it is too soft on North Korea, citing as an example its suspension of humanitarian aid to the impoverished North after it test-fired a series of missiles over international objections. The South insists it could inspect North Korean ships under an inter-Korean agreement but it has never done so despite allowing dozens of the communist country’s vessels to transit its waters.

A woman’s attempt to pass a counterfeit $20 bill at a gas station was easily foiled when the clerk realized something odd: It was blank on one side. Leah R. Jarolimek, 21, of Cedar Grove, was charged with a felony count of forgery after her failed attempt to buy chips and cigarettes, according to a complaint filed Friday in Sheboygan County Circuit Court. Jarolimek handed her driver’s license to the clerk early Wednesday to prove she was old enough to buy cigarettes and the bill, according to the complaint. The cashier told police the bill was placed face up on the counter but it felt suspicious when she picked it up. Teresa Wells said she flipped over the bill and found it blank. Jarolimek replied she didn’t know it was fake, the complaint said. Wells said Jarolimek had to pay for the chips, which had been opened. When Jarolimek went to her car to get money, Wells copied Jarolimek’s information from the driver’s license. Jarolimek faces up to three years in prison and a fine of $10,000 if convicted. WEXFORD, Pa. (AP) One formal wear store experimented with the most literal of Veterans Day sales. Pete Scolieri, who owns One Enchanted Evening in the Pittsburgh suburb of Pine Township with his wife, Linda, said they wanted to show support for the troops. They decided on giving away 120 new wedding gowns to women with military experience or those who are engaged to past or present servicemen. “This is just fantastic,” said Rosalind Ramos-Alvarez, who has been in the military for 21 years. She set aside two ivory gowns to try for size. Most giveaway gowns retailed between $500

and $2,000, but one dress was listed for $5,850. One Enchanted Evening donated 100 dresses and several vendors donated 20 others. “It’s just a matter of hey, these guys are over there, whether they want to or not, whether they believe in the cause or not. So how can we give something to them?” said Pete Scolieri.

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) Hundreds of Australian drivers have come up with a way to weasel out of tickets: Blame it on a dead guy. More than 200 motorists have avoided parking and speeding fines by accusing either a dead man or an out-of-state resident for their errors, police said Saturday. Under New South Wales state law, if car owners sign a sworn statement that they were not driving the vehicle when an offense was committed, they can avoid paying speed camera fines that arrive by mail and parking tickets left under windshield wipers. A recent government audit of the excuses given in those sworn statements revealed that 238 motorists had blamed one of two people: a dead man and a person living in neighboring South Australia state, Police Superintendent Daryl Donnolly said in a statement. Police say a 53-year-old businessman from South Australia has been unfairly flooded with traffic fines. He believes the scam started after he rented a sports car in Sydney. Some $61,000 of fines have been avoided this way in the past three years, Donnolly said. He said car owners charged with swearing false statements face up to five years’ imprisonment if convicted. NEENAH, Wis. (AP) _ A sanitation worker who found $1,900 attached to a discard-

ed desk at a city scrap heap says he deserves the money _ but the city won’t give it up. “It’s been very hard on me for being honest and then being told that because you’re honest we’re going to pat you on the back and take your money,” David Voight said. Voight, 52, found the cash in July, in envelopes attached by magnets to the underside of the metal desk at a junk drop-off site. Voight turned the money over to police and waited for someone to claim it within 90 days. Now that the 90 days are up and no one claimed the money, city officials have been wrangling over what to do with it. City Attorney James Godlewski said the city owns the money if Voight found it within the scope of his duties, but if he was acting as a private citizen, it would belong to him. Voight said he had permission to scavenge things from the scrap heap, and he was doing it on his own time when he found the money. “It wasn’t mine to begin with,” Voight said. “But it kind of rubbed me the wrong way that all of a sudden the council said since it was found on city property you can’t have it.”

Dr. Larry Lee Foster passed away at the age of 66.

After teaching business at UCO for 38 years, professor Dr. Larry Lee Foster, 66, passed away Saturday. “To sum up his life he devoted his life to make the lives of others better,” said Shawn Ezell, a senior finance major. The former business department head never had children of his own, but his students said he cared for all children as if they were his own. While at UCO he was the Kappa Sigma fraternity adviser, volunteered his time mentoring foster children and was a Sunday school teacher. Twenty-five years ago Dr.

Foster was hired and since served as a mentor to the current Dean of the College of Business, Dr. Michael Shirley. “He was caring and a committed man who gave his life to teaching here at UCO and for 38 years which is incredible,” Dr. Shirley said. “He was committed to serving others.” His memorial service is at 2 p.m. Nov. 15. at the Church of the Servant United Methodist Church, 14343 N. MacArthur in North Oklahoma City.

Under the Influence of Giants blend disco and indie-rock by Nathan Winfrey Senior Staff Writer Disco-infused indie-rockers Under the Influence of Giants resurrect the ‘70s with their self-titled album, the band’s first release on their new label Island Records. With a “Saturday Night Fever” strut, Under the Influence of Giants sport mop tops, scarves and headbands, infusing the glam of The Darkness with standard indie rock sensibilities. Their retro sound rings of the Bee Gees and Prince, with a falsetto chorus on smash single “Mama’s Room” to rival Barry Gibb. Under the Influence of Giants have done more with this album than produce catchy music and invoke images of psychedelic colors and spinning disco balls— they’ve produced an album that could be a cornerstone in the resurrection of a musical genre that has laid dormant for decades. Disco isn’t dead, and here are 11 songs to prove it. Instantly ear-catching, once “Mama’s Room” breaks into the high parts, there’s an instant hook unlike the world has heard since Dan Hawkins of The Darkness first sang “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” in 2003. Funky, electrifying and instantly infectious, their hookloaded tracks demand repeated plays, especially first track “Ah Ha.” The dance-pop kickoff would have been a hit at Studio 54, with a disco flare,

heavy synth from keyboardist Jamin Wilcox and Aaron Bruno’s Michael Jacksonesque “ooooh-ooooh”-ing. Third track “In the Clouds” is an explosive, sure-fire hit once “Mama’s Room” gets played out and steps out of the spotlight. With a dance-in-yourchair beat and echoing, computer-manipulated voices, “In the Clouds” is one of the strongest tracks on the record and reason enough to check the band out. Slower songs like gliding, wistful “Stay Illogical” take down the intensity of the hyperactive rush prominent in the faster-paced tracks. Its chorus, repeating “At least I tried to help her/At least I tried to tell her about you” is so characteristically Bee Gees that it’s hard to believe it isn’t a cover. “Heaven is Full” is a strong addition with a full sound heavy on warbling effects and thumping retro bass, then it’s back to slow Bee Gees mode with “I Love You.” Spanish-sounding disco trumpets and the signature bass herald “Against All Odds” with angry opening lyrics “You’re fool’s gold/We all know.” It’s easy to overlook anything beyond track seven, simply because the rest of the album will keep you hitting repeat so many times that you won’t have a chance to fall in love with the last few songs. But the quality doesn’t decrease any; “Under the Influence of Giants” just takes a breather.

Under the Influence of Giants release their self-titled debut album on Island Records, combining disco and rock.

But don’t bypass secondto-last track “Faces.” It’s as funky as the first few and is the kind of song that’s forgettable, but on a flip through your iPod’s track list, it will be

impossible to skip over once you hear the familiar Spanish countdown that precedes it. Packaged with the CD is a bonus disk featuring two songs, including an electronic remix of

“Mama’s Room” that’s no where near as good as the original. If you can’t get into the fun, retro spirit of Under the Nathan Winfrey can be reached at Influence of Giants, see a doctor. nwinfrey@thevistaonline.com.

'The Scarecrow' makes its debut in Mitchell Hall Theater by Steven Reckinger Copy Editor The theatrical production of “The Scarecrow” will make its UCO debut Nov. 16 through Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 19 at 2 p.m. in Mitchell Hall Theater. “The Scarecrow” is a fouract play and was written by American poet-playwright Percy MacKaye around 1911. It is based on Hawthorne’s short story “Feathertop,” published in his book “Mosses from an Old Manse.” The setting takes place in Massachusetts during the 17th century around the time of the Salem witch trials.

Men's basketball takes 90-58 win in Chickasha by Matt Caban Sports Editor The third time was the charm as the UCO Bronchos men’s basketball team won its final preseason tune-up 90-58 over the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma. UCO’s victory over the Drovers marked its first win in three preseason games. Senior forward Anthony Brown, junior guard Sam Belt and junior center Jason Arbet led the Bronchos’ scoring streak. Brown scored 22 points, Belt had 19 points and Arbet added 16 points off the bench. UCO head basketball coach Terry Evans said the trio came up big against the Drovers. “When the three of them score like that, we are tough to beat,” he said. Evans said he was glad to see Belt and Arbet step up after sub-par performances in the Bronchos’ other preseason games. “I was glad to see both guys score a lot of points without

taking a million shots,” he said. Belt said the players were challenged to step up after UCO’s two preseason losses. “Anthony had played real well and the rest of us hadn’t so we had to play better,” he said. “We wanted to start the season off right.” The Bronchos’ trio of doubledigit scorers weren’t the only hot hands as UCO shot nearly 63 percent from the field. UCO also made five of 13 shots or 38.5 percent from beyond the arc. Belt said the key to the Bronchos’ high shooting percentage was shot selection. “In our first two games we averaged 23 three’s and didn’t hit many,” he said. “This time we had great shot selection.” Evans said his team benefited from a change in venue after its first two losses to Division I schools, Oral Roberts University and Lamar University. “Sometimes when you are playing in those big division one arenas, you get intimidated,” he said, “so it helped our guys to get back to playing in the

type of arena they’re used to.” The Bronchos played before a crowd of about 180 against the Drovers in Chickasha. Despite posting a 32-point victory, the Bronchos still managed to turn the ball over 19 times. Evans said half the turnovers came on fast breaks. “When you have the ball in a three-on-one situation you should score, not turn the ball over,” he said Evans said the team has to be more consistent in this area, but overall he is satisfied. “We’re not complaining,” he said. “Anytime we can get 90 points and hold our opponents under 60 points is good.” With their preseason schedule completed, the Bronchos will this prepare for their regular season opener versus Oklahoma Baptist University at 6 p.m. Nov. 17, at the Oklahoma Christian Classic in Oklahoma City.

Webb told of investigation by Tiffany Batdorf Sports Writer The NCAA sent UCO President Roger Webb a “notice of inquiry” Oct. 26, informing him that the university’s football team is now under investigation. According to the letter, the NCAA’s investigators plan to complete their investigation by Feb. 15, 2007. The letter also states that there is the possibility of violations primarily involving the provision by the football staff of impermissible inducements and extra benefits beginning in Dec. 2003. The NCAA did inform Webb that new information could be found during the investigation. If new information develops he will be informed. At the end of six months Webb will

be provided with a report of the NCAA findings in writing. The letter gives Webb the right to request a meeting with the enforcement staff to discuss the inquiry in more detail. It is not known if a meeting has or will be set-up due to the request of Webb at this time. In the event allegations related to possible major violations of NCAA legislations are substantiated, the Committee on Infractions will consider the case either through the summary disposition or hearing process, according to the letter from the NCAA. The summary disposition will involve a written report that is jointly prepared by the institution, the enforcement staff and all involved parties. The closing of the letter asks Webb as the president

of the University of Central Oklahoma for his cooperation and assistance to the end that complete information related to this matter may be developed. According to NCAA Bylaw 32.5 the enforcement staff has developed reasonably reliable information indicating that an institution has been in violation of the Association’s governing legislation that requires further in-person investigation. If after six months, the investigation has not ended after the one year mark another letter will be sent to Webb notify him of the information gathered and the staff will review the status of the case with the Committee on infractions.

UCO had a total of seven finalists and 13 placers. UCO head wrestling coach David James said the team’s performance was a good sign for this season. “Right out of the chute, it was a good opener,” he said. Senior Jared Henning and junior Kyle Evans led the way with their respective titles.

Henning won the 133 lb. championship with a 3-1 decision over Oklahoma State University’s Brad Neitenbach. Meanwhile, Evans took his 141 lb. crown with a 5-1 decision over Lindenwood’s Marcus Cobb. Evans and Henning were joined by five teammates in the championship finals. However, each man of the quintet finished second in his respective weight class. James said about 15-20 college wrestling teams were represented at the match. “We’ve gone to this tourna-

ment for a number of years and had four or five champions, but I can’t recall having seven finalists before,” he said. “We’ll have to work on closing out the day with a win.” At 149 lb., UCO senior Shea Timothy dropped a 2-0 decision to Lindenwood’s Mark Dickman. The Bronchos were on the wrong side of two other UCO-Lindenwood championship battles. UCO’s Pen Philips (165 lb.) and Heath Jolley (197 lb.) lost their matches to Jacob Dieffenbach and Kyle Frawley respectively.

In the Bronchos’ other championship matches Jared Hess lost a 10-2 major decision to Eastern Illinois’ Greg Perz at 184 lb. and senior Josh LeadingFox lost a 3-2 double overtime decision to Andrew Ubben of Fort Hays State at 285 lb. James said he was glad to have seven finalists, but wants to see the team finish championship opportunities. UCO also had five wrestlers participate for third place in the consolation finals.

Women's team drops preseason games Football fumbles to by Tiffany Batdorf Sports Writer Bronchos women’s basketball suffered losses in its two preseason games last week. The Oklahoma Christian University Stars handed UCO a 24-point loss on Nov. 8 and two days later the Bronchos fell 91-88 in double overtime to the Oklahoma Flyers. UCO v. The Stars “We need to just iron out some execution,” first year head coach Guy Hardaker said. “We will move on and everyday we

will get better.” Hardaker said the lead changed four times early in the game, with UCO making the first basket. “At 11-11 we went seven minutes without scoring and we had to burn a couple timeouts,” he said. Hardaker said OCU has the winningest women’s basketball program in the nation. “In the first half we didn’t play to our full potentional,” sophomore forward Lizzie Brenner said. “We just didn’t execute.” OCU has a 6’4” Slovakian, Romana Vynuchalova, who had

10 points for the Stars; Mikelle Brown had 14 points; and Zanita Johnson with 14 points. “We were just undersized,” Hardaker said. The Stars’ 20 points that went unanswered by the Bronchos was thought to be the difference in the game, Hardaker said. Bronchos junior guard Cassidy Pillow led with nine points. Brenner had eight points and ten rebounds for a game high. Freshman guard Cristina Yarbrough helped out with eight points, six steals and two assists for her first game with the Bronchos. UCO v. Oklahoma Flyers “The girls played hard,” Hardaker said of the double overtime loss. “Honestly they are very courageous girls. They were out posted by six inches.” The Oklahoma City Flyers are a team of primarily former state college standouts that travel the region playing exhibition games. The Bronchos gave up a 13 point lead with 1:44 left in the game. A last second three point shot by sophomore Mallory Markus spun out of the rim

to put the game into its first overtime. “We just didn’t capitalize on the last second points,” Hardaker said. The Flyers made 15-19 free throws while the Bronchos shot 19-25. “The Flyers are very well coached,” Hardaker said. “I am very pleased with the girls’ effort. They know they have to play hard to get better.” The Bronchos trailed going into the half 34-38. They played most of the second half with a man-to-man defense. Markus led the Bronchos with 26 points. Junior transfer Antonia Smith ended the game with 15 points and nine rebounds. Brenner had 12 points, nine rebounds and five steals. Pillow added 10 points and nine rebounds. The Bronchos begin their season opener with the UCO Classic at the Hamilton Field House. UCO will play Oklahoma Christian at 8 p.m. Nov. 17 and 3 p.m. Nov. 18 against Arkansas Tech.

In the fourth quarter the Bronchos were up by 11 points and the game came down to the last play of the game. “We jumped out early and scored on the first drive,” junior quarterback Ryan O’Hara said. “This was a tough loss, it was our rival game, and my last foot
