Organization challenges others to join in food drive

Campus to begin holiday activities

by Kelley Chambers Staff Writer

The UCO Student Academy of Forensic Sciences is heading up a two-week food drive to help the needy by collecting canned food for the Hope Center in Edmond.

The club is also challenging other clubs to gather food, with a $100 prize on the line.

Dr. Kathryn Gage, vice president of Student Affairs is offering the cash award for the club that collects the most weight in canned goods.

Gage said she was approached during

111/Nom` ROW S.° UCO's recent "Poverty Awareness Week" by forensic students who wanted to help the needy during the holidays.

"I fund good works on occasion," she said. "I said, 'You guys go forth and be wonderful and I'll provide the initiative.'

"The forensics club are a very bright enthusiastic group and said they wanted to do a food drive," Gage said. "I have a special passion for wanting to address the issue of children and families living in poverty."

Cheryl Woods, assistant director of the Hope Center, said she welcomed the offer from the forensics students, especially as the need for food has increased in the community.

"We have had more requests for food in the last 12 months than ever," Woods said.

Woods said the center, founded in 1984, has helped an upward of 900 families in the recent months, far exceeding the average of 500 to 600 needy families served each month in the past.

The reason Woods said the increase took place is because of a "population increase."

But the center does not serve just Edmond.

"They (the needy) are corning from far north Oklahoma City, north to almost Guthrie, Arcadia and far west Oklahoma City," Woods said.

The Hope Center will also host a free dinner on

The UCO Division of Student Affairs hosted the first Oklahoma Conference on College Student Character Nov.13 in the Nigh University Center. Blake Fry, director of Campus Life said more than 230 students, faculty and staff attended the event from UCO, Langston University, Oklahoma State University and the • University of

Oklahoma.

The purpose of the conference was to explore a range of character elements, such as: leadership, spirituality, diversity and health and service, Fry said.

Speakers featured at the event were Robert Page, the University of Kansas director of Multicultural Affairs; Brent Scarpo, founder of New Light Media, a nonprofit organization designed to educate the

OPINION

November 18, 2004

Quote of the day You can't wallow with the pigs at night and then soar with the eagles in the morning. —Hunter S. Thompson

Okay, well remember that next time you need a doctor.

Today in History On this day in 1928, Walt Disney debuted his talking animated cartoon, "Steamboat Willie," the first cartoon with synchronized sound. The cartoon starred a mouse named Mortimer, which was later changed to Mickey.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Vista, I see that Kyle Houts is at it again. Character assassination is much more effective than honest debate in politics. He forgets that the root of liberal means 'free' and that liberal therefore means 'favoring social freedom.' If Mr. Houts villainizes those who defend 'social freedom', perhaps he does not hold freedom in as high esteem. It is also questionable whether the actions of the current conservative Republican administration, i.e. enacting the Patriot Act, curtail-

ing reproductive choice, and denying gay men and women equal status in society, adequately respect freedom.

Furthermore, Mr. Houts seems ignorant of the fact that at least 48 percent of the U.S. voted against the Bush administration.

I doubt that half of the country considers itself 'unappealing.'

Perhaps, in the future Mr. Houts could refrain from character assassination, a dirty and divisive tactic.

Remember others this holiday season

LETTER TO THE EDITOR As co-president of the UCO Democratic Socialists and 'a., founding member of the UCO..

Progressive Coalition, I would like to respond to the comments directed at both of those organizations made by a Mr. Kevin Houts, the president of the College Republicans, in The Vista of Nov. 16.

Despite the fact that neither Mr. Houts nor any member of his organization attended the only meeting of the UCO Progressive Coalition, he broadly and falsely asserts that it is organization of liberals trying to hide behind a new moniker. "Progressive" is a term that is increasingly being used, as it is in this organization, by critics of liberalism on the left and center who oppose its support of giant corporations and trade agreements that destroy developing nations, its failure to protect human and civil rights at home and abroad, and its cowardice in failing to oppose an illegal war of aggression. Clearly there are significant differences between these ideologies. Just as I extend to Mr. Houts the courtesy of not assuming that he is a neoconservative, libertarian, fascist, or

other right-wing ideologue, I would request that he extend the same courtesy to the membership of the UCO Progressive Coalition.

On the subject of the Economics Club debate, the UCO Democratic Socialists agreed to participate in the debate before their representative had met with any of the other clubs invited to attend.

The change in format of the debate had nothing to do with the response of the UCO Democratic Socialists or any other organization.

Although I respect the attempt to provide a counterpoint in the Vista's coverage of the UCO Progressive Coalition, such efforts only serve to inform the UCO Community when they come from an informed perspective. With all do respect to Mr. Houts, his comments from a position of ignorance serve only to distort the subject at hand.

T

he holidays are here again as the Coke cans bearitig the image of Santa Claus indicate.

It's always easy to get dragged down by the worries of fulfilling quotas of gifts for loved ones and deciding to "ba-humbug" it all.

Santa has already set up shop and it's time to request presents.

But that's the odd thing about the holidays: for every greedy child, there is a volunteer collecting presents for people who aren't financially able to afford a proper

Thanksgiving meal or put gifts under the Christmas tree.

There are many worthy organizations who offer services to collect food, clothing and toys around Oklahoma for those who need it.

This year, instead of walking past the guy from Salvation Army ringing his bell, make the bottom of his jar ring by flinging a few quarters into it. It may seem small, but the collected efforts might do more than you think.

For every gift you buy for a family member or loved one,

make a resolution to donate a gift or some.ofthose clothes collecting , in your closet that don't fit anymore.

Get rid of those cans of corn that have been sitting on your cabinet for years by donating to a food drive.

Spend a few hours at a soup kitchen on Thanksgiving morning.

Remind yourself that the holidays aren't about commercialism, and you will make a more memorable holiday for everyone.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, I am replying to Tre Ronne's letter on Tuesday, Nov. 16. A few points: First, I don't consider Christianity bad because the Crusades or the Witch Trials happened. I don't blame Islam because some fanatical believers flew planes into the World Trade Center. In my book, the people were certainly bad, but not the belief system.

Secondly, I have re-read

my letter a few times and I cannot see where I suggested morality doesn't exist outside religion. I can look at the letter and see that I didn't say it, but I don't find that suggestion anywhere in my letter.

Thirdly, I never called or implied non-Christians immoral. Again, as I'm looking at my letter, there is no evidence of that at all. I think these last two points are mere assumptions on your part

made simply out of convenience in order to have something to fit into the structure of your argument. Also, I don't (and nowhere is it stated or implied in my letter) assume that those professing 'faith' follow the same moral code.

These 'assumptions' on your part seem so far off from what I actually said, I'm wondering if you are confusing my letter with another reply to the same editorial that I replied to. I just

think that you take way too much out of my letter that just simply is not there.

Lastly, I was not aware that atheism or agnosticism were faiths.

Thank you at least for taking the time to read it.

Sincerely, Jason Fisher interpersonal communications senior

Spellings named Education Secretary

from page 3 WASHINGTON — President Bush on Wednesday named White House domestic policy adviser Margaret Spellings to be the nation's eighth education secretary. 'The issue of education is close to my heart and on this vital issue there's no one I trust more than Margaret Spellings," Bush told her. If confirmed by the Senate, Spellings would replace departing secretary Rod Paige in the Cabinet-level job of overseeing the Education Department. Spellings, who was joined in the Roosevelt Room of the White House with her two daughters, became emotional as she accepted the post.

Oklahoma signs five-year contract with Dell OKLAHOMA CITY — The state of Oklahoma is getting a Dell — a lot of them.

A five-year exclusive contract that state officials signed last month with Austin, Texas-based Dell Inc. could be worth more than $150 million based on figures released Tuesday.

The contract, signed by State Purchasing Director Tom Jaworsky, requires that all agencies governed by the state's Central Purchasing Act buy their desktop and laptop computers from Dell.

The Dell deal was signed less than two weeks before the computer maker announced it will build a 120,000-square-foot sales and customer service center on the Oklahoma River a few miles west of downtown Oklahoma City.

Dell first revealed plans to locate a service center in Oklahoma on July 7, but the contract timing was purely coincidental, said Scott Meacham, state Office of Finance director.

Bleek outlook for' women in Oklahoma .11 _ I

OKLAHOMA CITY — A new report on the status of women says Oklahoma is one of the five worst states in the nation for women.

One in seven Oklahoma women lives below the poverty line and one in five has no health insurance, according to the national survey released Tuesday by the Institute for Women's Policy Research.

A woman's median income in the state is $3,500 less than the national average and women in 40 other states are more likely to have a college education, according to the study.

The institute also reported that women in 43 other states are more likely to work in managerial or professional positions.

The report ranks all 50 states and the District of Columbia on women's economic progress, social and economic autonomy, health, reproductive rights and political participation.

Oklahoma tied with Arkansas for No. 47 in the biennial ranking. Others at the bottom are Texas (45), Tennessee (46), Kentucky (49), South Carolina (50) and Mississippi (51).

Catholics broaden Christian alliance group WASHINGTON — The nation's Roman Catholic bishops voted Wednesday to join a new alliance that would be the broadest Christian group ever formed in the United States, linking American evangelicals and Catholics in an ecumenical organization for the first time.

The alliance, called Christian Churches Together in the U.S.A., is set to kick off next year. It would also include mainline Protestants, Orthodox Christians, and black and other minority churches, though with about 67 U.S. million members the Catholic Church would be the largest denomination.

"It's not to create some kind of megabody or megachurch," said Bishop Stephen Blaire, chairman of the ecumenical committee for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "It is a forum for participation so that we can pray together, grow in our understanding together and witness together our faith."

GRADUATION from page 1 in the ceremony, so we ask those who don't need their tickets to turn them back in, so we can give them to people who need extras," Lagrow said.

Students can sign up for the extra tickets Nov. 22 and 23 in the Nigh

Caps, gowns and tassels can be purchased in the UCO bookstore in the Nigh University Center. Tassels are $4,

UCO debate team ranked fourth in nation

by UCO News Bureau The UCO debate team members recently ranked fourth in the national Cross Examination Debate Association's Team Sweepstakes Results, are preparing to devote most of their Christmas break away from family and a couple hundred miles south of home.

The team's next debate will take place from Jan. 3 through 10 at the "Texas Two-Step" in Dallas.

The two UCO teams to compete, an open division and a junior varsity division, will consist of James Davis and Tyler Henry of Edmond, and Lindsey

Shook and Andy Casey, both of Tulsa.

Davis and Shook will compete in the open division, Casey and Henry in the junior varsity division.

"Their dedication is a reflection of the 101-year tradition of competitive intercollegiate debate at UCO. Not many students will give up two weeks of their Christmas for school activities," said UCO debate head coach Jason Stone.

"I believe this event highlights our debaters' determination."

In all, 12 students comprise the UCO debate team.

UCO hosted the 45th Annual Joe C. Jackson Collegiate Debate Tournament, Nov. 5 through 7, at which the more than 20 colleges and universities participated. University of Kansas won the open division, Emporia State won the junior division and the University of Alabama won the novice division at the tournament.

UCO debaters did not participate, as they served as hosts for the event.

At the five tournaments in which UCO has participated this year, a number of awards have been secured.

These include being named

as open division semi-finalists, open division quarter-finalists, open division third place speaker award winners and for the open division eighth place speaker award at Wichita State University.

At the Kansas City Community College Tournament, UCO debaters were awarded first place speaker award in the junior division, as semi-finalists in the open division, champions in the tournament's junior division, eighth and 10th place in the open division and received a fourth place speaker award in the open division.

At Emporia State University, the team received second, fourth and fifth place awards in the junior and novice divisions.

At the Missouri State University Debate Tournament, the UCO debaters were named novice division champions, open division semi-finalists and junior division quarter-finalists.

And at a second Kansas City Community College Debate Tournament, the team was awarded second and fourth place in the open division speaker award category.

"The team is off to its best start in decades," Stone said.

"This fourth-in-the-nation rank-

ing, in all division levels, is a product of the overall strength of our program."

"UCO's team has been incredible in novice, junior and varsity divisions, and is ranked higher than debate teams at many of the nation's larger universities, including the University of Oklahoma, Emory, Dartmouth, the U.S. Military Academy, University of Kansas, Northwestern, Wake Forrest, the University of Michigan, James Madison and many others."

Evolution discussed at campus forum 1111 "After the Scopes Trial: Creationism versus Evolution Today" attracted hundreds of people Nov. 11 at Howell Hall.

by Lauren Pulsinelli Senior Staff' Writer

About 200 people gathered in Howell Hall for an open forum on evolution as part of the Research Revolution program.

The program strives to get people involved in various science topics. The Nov. 11 discussion was entitled, "After the Scopes Trial: Creationism versus Evolution Today."

The trial took place in a small Tennessee town in 1925 and became the center of national attention when defense lawyer Clarence Darrow went up against progressive politician William Jennings Bryan over a Tennessee law that forbade the teaching of the theory of evolution in schools.

Seventy-nine years later, evolution remains a controversial issue and is still argued about. In Oklahoma, Rep. Bill Graves, R-Oklahoma City, has tried several times to require the disclaimer in all textbooks covering evolution used in Oklahoma schools.

The American Civil Liberties Union opposed the disclaimer stating it was a violation of the separation between church and state.

The disclaimer states that evolution is a "controversial theory" that some scientists present about the origin of living things.

Former Gov. Frank Keating chose a textbook-committee to mandate placement of the evolution theory disclaimer in every school biology book.

Under the headline "Gov.

Gutless," the Tulsa World said has fallen behind."

Dr. Sharon Young, a biology Keating was "unwilling to stand up to those who would lead the professor at Southern Nazarene state back to the Stone Age on University attended the forum and said the problem with eduthis issue."

Stan Engle said he attended the forum because he wanted his family to see what is being taught in high schools and universities, and discuss it with them. "To compare it to what God's Word says, which is our authority for life. I want them to understand that if they reject God's Word in their life they will end up in confusion and chaos," said Engle.

Engle operates the Creation Museum in Oklahoma City that opened in March of 2003. "We have had people visit and learn more about origins. We do not apologize for believing in the Bible as God's Word and it has all the answers to man's questions," said Engle.

The museum has exhibits on DNA, fallacies of evolutionary thinking and informative displays on the earth. "Biblical creation is supernatural. In plain language it was a miracle.

Creation was not spread out over a major portion of the supposed evolutionary vast time history of the universe," said Engle.

WASHINGTON – Alberto Gonzales will face tough questioning during hearings on his nomination to become the next attorney general but is on track to be confirmed, the Senate Judiciary Committee's top Democrat said Wednesday.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., met with Gonzales and warned him to be prepared for lengthy questioning about his positions on how the Geneva Conventions apply to the war on terrorism and whether his close relationship with President Bush jeopardizes his independence.

"There are going to be issues that are going to come up where the interest of justice may be at odds with the interest of the president as an individual, and you have to go with the interest of justice," Leahy said he told Gonzales.

To cite one high-profile example, Gonzales – if confirmed – will have to decide whether to recuse himself from the investigation into the leak to the press of the identity of undercover CIA officer Valerie Plame. Outgoing Attorney General John Ashcroft did step aside under pressure, and Gonzales testified in June before a grand jury hearing evidence in that case.

"I think this is an issue that will be raised at the confirmation hearings," Leahy said.

Leahy also said Gonzales, currently the White House legal counsel, is a less controversial figure than Ashcroft, who frequently clashed with Democrats over congressional oversight and tactics used in the war on terror.

"The president could have picked a more polarizing figure. He did not. I applaud him for that," Leahy told reporters after the 30-minute meeting.

"I think he has a far better chance of confirmation with substantial votes from both sides of the aisle than a'rnoVe divisive figure would have."

During a brief photo session with Leahy, Gonzales did not respond to reporters' questions about a controversial memo he wrote in 2002 contending Bush had the right to waive anti-torture laws and international treaties providing protections to prisoners of war.

Critics have said that position helped lead to abuses of the type seen at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison.

Ashcroft will stay on as attorney general until Gonzales is confirmed.

The Judiciary Committee has not yet set a timetable for confirmation hearings, in part because of turmoil over the panel's chairmanship in the next Congress.

The current chairman, Republican Orrin Hatch of Utah, is stepping down because of term limits on committee leadership. Next in line is Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who is attempting to solidify support among his GOP colleagues after conservatives questioned whether he would be an obstacle to Bush's judicial nominees.

UCO to compete in Kaufman-Brand Open Nation's best wrestlers and teams among the competition at the largest tournament in the nation this weekend

by Harry Gatewood III Sports Writer The Central Oklahoma wrestling team will travel to the Nebraska-Omaha KaufinanBrand Open Nov. 20, where more than 700 competitors are expected; the largest single-day collegiate wrestling meet in the nation.

The meet at NebraskaOmaha Sapp Fieldhouse will feature some of the top college teams and wrestlers in the area.

"We have some new guys in our lineup and new people in our program and they're just trying to improve and get better.

It's something we can build on," said Coach James of the meet.

There are two divisions in the Nebraska-Omaha KaufmanBrand Open. The 20-and-under

division for younger wrestlers and the Open division.

UCO uses meets like the Nebraska-Omaha to give experience to freshmen, redshirt freshmen or sophomores to add experience.

"For the individuals that went, they gained experience, and that's what's important, because they lack it. I always look for the guys to have good representation at every single weight," Coach James said of the Missouri Open.

All-American Wade Bramlitt (141) was held out in the Central Missouri Open due to injury. He'll try to be back for the Oklahoma Open.

Pen Phillips (165) looks to be out with a rib injury and Shea Timothy at (149) has an aggravated shoulder that will keep him out this week.

"These opens are so long and hard on us. We are just playing it smart there," Coach James said of the injuries.

The Nebraska open is highly competitive as last year the Division II Champions, Nebraska-Omaha took the open.

Coach James said, "It's a monster. We're probably going to see a little bit of everyone, some Division I, Division II, NAIA, and Junior College teams. Of the Division I programs that are there, probably 10 are Top 20 teams. Our guys will have to fight and scrap for everything at that event, it'll be the biggest tournament in the country this weekend."

Some of the contenders at the Nebraska-Omaha Open are: Oklahoma State, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and Northern Iowa.

"We'll have to go and compete hard. Hopefully, some of our guys can go and do well and place," James said. "Our concept or motto this year is everyone contributing, and that is what we look for."

The Bronchos competed in the Central Missouri State Open Nov. 14, and eight Bronchos finished in the top-six, with two runners-up at their weight.

James said, "We don't look that bad, I thought our guys performed hard."

The host Mavericks return six All-Americans from last year's NCAA II championship team, including two-time defending national heavyweight champion Les Sigman.

UNO will host the NCAA II championships in Sapp Fieldhouse March 11 and 12.

Bronchos open season at home

by Harry Gatewood III Sports Writer Head Coach Shawn Williams and the Central Oklahoma women's basketball team will open their season at 8 p.m, Friday hosting Missouri Southern and at 3 p.m., Saturday against Central Arkansas.

UCO won their lone exhibition game over the Oklahoma Flyers on Nov. 2, handing them a one-way ticket home in the 70-63 win.

"In the offseason we ran them a lot, so they should be good as far as conditioning, weightlifting and a lot of shooting drills so hopefully all that will pay off. This year the team's main focus is to be more competitive in games and more competitive than we were last year," Coach Williams said.

Missouri Southern opened their season with a 50-46 loss Nov. 15 against Northeastern State.

Senior Vonny Wilson had 12 points to lead the Lions.

MSSU has three starters back, led by senior guard Aubrie Hallman (Wichita, Kan./Cowley County CC), a second-team All-MidAmerican

Intercollegiate Athletic Association selection in 200304.

Wilson, a 5-10 forward, (Fort Worth, Texas/Grayson CC) and Guard Katie Deen (Norman, Okla./Norman North) join Hallman for their senior campaigns.

Senior Laura Hamilton said, "We'll be ready for them, we've already got the scouting report and watched film of them.

They're a fast team and they have good shooters, we'll just have to execute."

MSSU is coming off of their best season since 1995-96.

The Lions finished 19-9 overall in 2004 including a 7-1 record in the month of February, with victories over three nationally-ranked opponents.

Maryann Mitts holds a 13492 (.593) record in eight years as a collegiate coach, including a 51-35 mark at Southern.

"The focus in this week's practice is to improve our inside game and our bench. Lindsey Wilson was out and Micha Hester was out, so hopefully those girls will come back and we can get some bench production," Williams said.

Hester was knocked out with

7

a twisted ankle the day before the Bronchos played the Flyers, while Wilson has had excruciating shin splints.

At 3 p.m. Saturday, UCO will take on Central Arkansas.

The Sugar Bears were picked second in the Gulf South Conference West Division preseason poll.

Central Arkansas' Carone Harris, a senior All-American guard from Bradley, Ark., was All-GSC West last season.

Top newcomers include: center Jennifer Sweeney of Searcy, Ark., a transfer from Southern Methodist, and center Victoria Richards from Bradford, Ark., a transfer from Three Rivers Community College.

Senior Jackee Brown said, "We've been working on our defense and were just going to try and put some full-court pressure on them. Play defense and get steals, that's our game plan."

"We just want people to come out and watch us play and try to improve. The guys and the girls host games on Saturday so that will be something to come and see," Coach Williams said.

Laura Hamilton dribbles in the Bronchos' exhibition win over the Oklahoma Flyers on Nov. 2.

The Central Oklahoma men's basketball team opened their season with an 86-68 win over St. Gregory's on Nov. 16 at Hamilton Field House.

The Bronchos used their depth at the guard position to pressure the Cavaliers into 23 turnovers, which UCO turned into 24 points.

UCO's guard rotation of Kevin Russell, B.J. Raney, Terry McVay, Kentrell Gaddis, Jason Greene and Mike Currin hounded the SGU guards throughout the game as the Bronchos earned their first win of the season.

"That's one of our biggest strengths. We have six or seven guys who can score and defend," Head Coach Terry Evans said.

The Bronchos were balanced offensively with four Bronchos scoring double figures. Sam Belt and Joe Kennerly led UCO with 15 points apiece, while McVay added 12 and Greene added 10.

Evans said, "For Joe Kennerly, Jason Greene and Sam Belt, it was their coming-

UCO forced two turnovers

by SGU's Corey Humphrey while taking a early 7-2 lead with 16:49 left in the first half McVay's layup extended the Central lead to 18-7 after a 6-0 run with 11:54 left.

The Bronchos full-court pressure continued to force Cavalier mistakes as Belt's layup after an Eric Bowie turnover, gave UCO a 15-point cushion (33-18) with 5:44 left.

Belt's layup was part of a 100 UCO run that was finalized

by Tyler Phillips' offensive rebound and layup to give Central the 38-18 lead with 4:09 left.

UCO pushed their advantage to 23 (44-21) after Muyi Sosanya's two free throws with 1:07 left.

But a 3-pointer from the Cays' Daven Vo cut the Bronchos halftime lead to 4426.

UCO's on-the-ball defense forced the Cays guards into 20 first-half turnovers which the Bronchos converted into 20 points.

"When you can create mistakes and turn them into easy baskets, that's an easy way to win games. In every game we want to win the turnover and rebounding margin," Evans said of the points off turnovers.

Central had 23 bench points and 16 points in the paint in the first 20 minutes.

Kennerly was 5-of-8 for 10 points and five rebounds in the first half.

In a attempt to slow the Bronchos down, SGU came out of the locker room in a 2-3 zone

defense.

The halftime adjustment slowed UCO as the Cavaliers were able to cut the Broncho cushion to 47-36 with 16:28 left in the game.

"We played better against zones in the preseason but their zone wasn't the problem. We still scored 42 points in the second half," Evans said.

Central refused to let their lead fall below double-digits as Tarin Baker's jumper cutting the UCO lead to 57-47 with 11:31 was as close as the Cavaliers would get.

On the Bronchos next possession, Russell split the two SGU defenders at the top of the 2-3 zone and fed Henderson on the wing. His 3-pointer put the Central lead back to 13.

"In the second half we didn't have the same intensity, that's what we work with our guys on, not having any lapses in intensity," Evans said.

A McVay trey with 6:38 left pushed the lead back to 20 (7555) and Central cruised in the final five minutes of the win.

"We played intense and smart in first half We held them to 20 points in 19 minutes," Evans said of the key to the victory.

Kennedy's eight rebounds (including four offensive) led the Bronchos while Henderson had nine points and seven boards. Belt had a team-high three steals in addition to his 15 points, while Greene had four assists to pace UCO. SGU's Baker scored a gamehigh 24 points and had nine boards.
