The Student Voice Since 1903

WORLD WRAP Marine creneral says TN/remarks misconstrued WASIUNGTON (AP) Blacks do as well as or better than whites in some military skill exams but lag in others, according to statistics released by the Marine Corps.

The Associated Press requested the information after Gen. Carl Mundy, commandant of the Marine Corps, said in a television interview that minority officers did not shoot, swim Or use compasses as well as white officers.

Mundy has since apologized for the comments broadcast tin CBS-TV's "60 Minutes." In a speech last week, the four-star general promised to increase the number of minorities in the corps, saying his remarks . ,vere misconstrued.

About 18 percent of the corps' 159,000 enlisted men and women are black; about 5.4 percent of its 18,000 officers are black.

Followers of Maharishi to open Heaven on Earth TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Foliowers of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi have purchased the Camelot Parkside Motel for $1.15 million and plan to rename it Heaven on Earth Plaza Hotel.

The 330-room establishment will reopen next year offering Eastern Indian philosophy, healthy food and coffee or juice bars in place of lounges, said Thomas Headley, president of World Plan Executive Council.

The nonprofit group, inspired by the founder of transcendental meditation, operates a for-profit subsidiary called Ileaven on Earth, which functions as its hotel management company.

"We have hotels that are very health-oriented, ecology-oriented and nature-supporting," Headley said.

The group bought the building Monday from Landex Riverview Ltd. The organization has bought hotels in Dallas, Houston, Denver, Cleveland and Baton Rouge, La., in the last three months, Headley said.

Guns don't kill people -Gun laws kill people

f one definition of "gun control" is "being able to hit your target," then the anti-gun forces in this country are really off the mark.

Many people equate gun ownership with violent crime, and are afraid, and certainly that is understandable. Some citizens do use guns when committing crimes, as many do when thwarting crimes. Media coverage of bank robberies, burglaries, and random school yard, restaurant and workplace slayings escalate the fear.

Gun control proponents often take aim at "the gangs," and drug dealers, pointing to isolated incidents of car jackings, "drive-by" shootings, and gun battles with police. If you make guns illegal, their argument usually goes, then streets will be safer, and crime will be down, and skies will be sunny again, trala.

These well-intentioned, would-be do-gooders are firing blanks, however. They're hoping that the noise of the gun going "bang" will scare people around to their side of the question. Meanwhile, they ignore two obvious points: a thing beimg illegal keeps only law-abiding citizens from doing it—criminals, by their nature, involve themselves in things illegal quite often—and, many of the crimes being committed don't involve guns or weapons of any kind at all, thus outlawing czuns won't affect those statistics.

If one hundred anti-handgunners were locked in a room together, and then told that one half of the people in the room were to beat the other half with big sticks, then the half being beaten on would almost certainly want big sticks too, to protect themselves. Yet they seem unable to apply this same logic when the question of gun ownership is drawn.

Responsible citizens who want a handgun to protect their home are soon facing a mandatory national five-day waiting period before being able to purchase the firearm, whereas the burglar who has stolen a gun from one home in order to better steal that responsible citizen's valuables will be under no such restriction.

Let people take a test to prove they are competent to handle a handgun when they purchase it, just as they do for the privilege of driving a car, or selling beer, or passing the seventh grade— and let the criminals beware.

POINT/COUNTERPOINT Gun control, will it work?

Dr. Terry M. Clark Guest Columnist

I

was a Goldwater Republi can, but it's time to control gun use in this country. The first step is the Brady bill, to slow acquisition of cheap handguns by those who buy them with the obvious intent of doing harm.

Secondly, we ought to mobilize the national guard, and the U.S. Army, which no longer has enough work to do.

As a deterrent to crime and violence, station two soldiers on every corner in the inner cities, armed, with fixed bayonets. Don't claim they're not trained for police work. It's a war zone there, and the military is trained for war.

Washington, the capitol of the free world, is also the crime capitol of the world. At stake is "civil"-ization as we know it. We cannot abide the highest murder and crime rate in the civilized world.

According to the Constitution, the government's job is to "establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare .. .

Since the government is doing none of these things in American cities at the moment, and since we don't have enough money to hire enough police, and since we're wondering what to do with our military without wrecking our economy, the utilization of the Armed Forces as a national police force would help accomplish those goals, making the streets safe, once again, for citizens to ". . . enjoy the blessings of liberty . . ."

Dr. Allen L. Bird Guest Columnist

S

trong control is needed in this country — but it is not control of inanimate objects, the guns.

We need urgently to improve the judicial system and gain control of criminals whose rights have come to overshadow that of their victims.

The Brady bill will not control criminals, nor will it keep any guns from the hands of those who would .. misuse them.

Even the title, Brady bill, shows how futile a five-day, seven-day or 15-day waiting period is. The man who pulled the trigger on Brady had owned the weapon for several weeks.

Ninety-one percent of the nation's police chiefs and sheriffs said that banning firearms would not reduce criminal ability to get firearms.

When violent mobs terrified residents, killing many in Los Angeles, citizens were suddenly awakened to the need to protect their families, but discovered they were denied personal protection by California's waiting period.

Usually, a 911 call gets quicker response than 15 days, but still not quick enough to stop a thug breaking into your house.

Placing the military on each street corner merely makes this country a police state. This is not a "civilization" as we know it —it is merely moving further clown the road to totalitarianism.

It would be a shame if, after Eastern Europe has finally gained a measure of freedom, we found our own citizens giving theirs away.

UCO plans first fall ceremonies

By Joyce Kirtley

Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma will hold its first fall graduation ct. 'remonies Dec. 18 in the Hamilton Field House for students completing their graduation requirements in December.

The ceremony for the Colleges of Business Administration and Liberal Arts will take

place at 11 a.m., and the Colleges of Education and Mathematics and Science ceremony will be at 3 p.m.

The ceremony will be separated into two parts because about 930 students will graduate this fall, said Terry May, commencement coordinator and assistant vice president for academic affairs.

"This is a means for better serving the students. It also makes it easier on spring commencements because there are so many stu-

dents," said May. By having the two ceremonies in the fall, the names of all the graduates can be called, said May. The number of students graduating in the fall has been high the past few years. The students have either had no ceremony or waited for the following spring, said May. "The fall commencement will continue, unless students decide otherwise," said May.

TRAFFIC APPEALS Continued from front page

A variety of violations for those accused of being wrongly parked at the University of Central Oklahoma face the six member appeals board.

Failure to display a valid permit accounts for the most appeals totaling 26.

Other appeals include 11 citations for being in no parking zones, nine for incorrect parking, nine for illegally parking in staff/faculty areas and eight for parking in a non- authorized lot such as areas designated for residents.

Two appeals involve multiple violations and one for a meter infraction.

Robert Caldwell, parking services manager, said there are more than 6,000 parking spaces at UCO and the number of tickets issued this month has decreased from October's numbers.

On the average, the 10 Parking Service Officers each issued 26 citations per day during September.

During October each officer averaged 15 citations each day.

Caldwell attributes learning the hard way to the decrease.

"More people got their permits because they were given tickets for not having them, " he said. As of the end of October, 12,785 parking permits have been issued at a price of $15 per semester or $25 for the year.

Money generated from parking citations is targeted towards the maintenance and upkeep of the parking lots and the operating

budget for Parking Services, Caldwell said.

Excuses for parking violations occasionally confront Caldwell by those who were cited, he said.

"The most common I get is 'I was able to do it last year — Caldwell said. "The reason was that in the past, the police were not able to enforce all violations with the other duties that they perform," he said.

"One girl said, 'I pay 525 to park here so I should be able to park anywhere I would like to," Caldwell said.

He also noted that telephone calls are welcomed if someone would like to report an improperly parked vehicle, but that a person from one department probably called attention to more than they had bargained for.

"One department called and said their faculty/staff lot was.full of commuter vehicles. Well, we went over there and found four of those (commuters in faculty/staff spaces) and 14 faculty/staff members with no permits in their cars."

The Traffic Appeals Board consists of three Student S enate members and three Faculty Senate members where one will serve as a non-voting Chairperson.

During the appeals process, the board can either uphold the ticket, dismiss it or place the person on probation where the fine is dismissed they receive no citations in 60 days.

Appeal forms are available at the University Parking Services Office and must be filed within 72 hours after the date of issuance.

Students graduating in December can order personalized graduation announcements from the University Center Bookstore immediately.

Students may order by package plan or by individual item. The three package plans are A, B and C. Package A, 50 personalized graduation announcements, 50 thank you notes and one souvenir cover goes for 567.99.

Package B, 40 personalized graduation announcements, 40 thank you cards and one souvenir announcement cover and one souvenir cover cost $55.99.

Package C, 30 personalized

graduation announcements, 40 thank you cards and one souvenir cover cost $43.50 Individual items comes in groups of 10. Ten personalized graduation announcements cost $9.00. Each additional announcement will cost $5.

Ten thank you notes cost $6.50 and a souvenir graduation cover cost $5.95. Tassels are also available in different colors at $2.50 each.

The personalized announcements contain the name of the college, the graduation announcement, the name of the graduate and the degree obtained.

"Orders placed will be ready for pickup in 48 hours," said Paul Mengwasser, assistant bookstore manager, "and payment is due when the order is placed."

In previous years the bookstore had to enter each card by hand, "but now S teve Coffey (Computer Sales Specialist with the bookstore) has written a program that allows it to run by itself, bringing turn around time down," he said.

"What takes the time now is the packaging," said Coffey. "We do anywhere from 250 to 300 announcements a day."

Graduating seniors can either pick up graduating announcement forms or fill them out at the bookstore, Mengwasser said.

The bookstore is open until 7:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 5 p.m. on Fridays so students can pick up their orders to save on shipping costs.

For further information, contact Mengwasser at the University Center Bookstore, Ext. 2211.

UCO student wins Oklahoma Mr. Romance Cover Model title

By Bobbi Beldon

Student Writer

University of Central Oklahoma student Mark Wells was named Mr. Romance CoverModel Oklahoma Oct. 24 at Crossroads Mall.

Chosen from a field of 14 contestants, Wells won an all-expense paid trip to Nashville to compete in the second annual "Mr. Romance Cover Model" pageant, April 29, 1994.

Prizes for the two winners in the national competition will include cover model contracts.

Wells, a Jones resident and a biology major, found out about the contest from a friend.

Sara Orwig, who has published 41 romance novels and teaches novel writing in the UCO creative studies department, escorted contestants on stage during the evening attire segment.

The 14 contestants were asked to answer two questions.

The first question was "Why do you want to be on the cover of a romance novel ?"

Wells said that with the fastpaced computerized 90s, it would be nice to be associated with romantic values and old fashioned ideas.

The second question was "What brings out the romantic in you?" A woman who can be herself was Wells' reply.

His plans are uncertain but does include the medical field.

Wells' hobbies include weight lifting, karate and snow-skiing.

He became a licensed massage therapist in Florida, where he worked for a physical therapist and specialized in helping triathletes.

Wells will make community appearances until the national contest.

"Mark Wells conveys the traditional values of Oklahoma men.

The University of Central Oklahoma's Department of History and Geography will offer a new upper division course, "History of the Balkans," for the Spring 1994 semester.

The Balkans have a history of not only being bloody but also a history of drawing outside powers into their fights, said Anne Lynch, assistant professor at the history and geography department.

The course is a study of the major events which have led to the disintegration of the area's stability.

"The course is designed to inform citizens about the cultural history of the region," said Dr. James Baker, chairperson of the history and geography department.

"It's important for U.S. citizens to be well-informed about the Balkans, considering the fact that we may soon be sending troops to the area."

World War I started over nationality wars in the Balkans.

Nationality groups like ethnic groups are defined by religion and language. The different groups in the Balkans are not neatly separated at all, Lynch said.

"They live very close to each other and surrounding each other, so once you become a nationalist and try to find your own group it is virtually impossible," said Lynch.

"The area has a very complicated religious situation, Orthodox Christians make up the majority with a small part Catholic and only Albania is Islamic."

Professor uses martial arts disciplines to teach math

With amazing agility and precise skill, she demonstrated forceful kicks and rapid arm blocks. They are the moves to Songahm One, the first form in the Songahm style of Tae Kwon Do. The woman is Dr. Leslie Ribera, new professor of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Mathematics, an art of the mind, and martial arts, an art of the body, are only two of the diverse accomplishments in which Ribera has excelled. She' s also roofedhouses and bungee jumped.

Criminal justice conference addresses education in prison system

By Judie Tennell

Student Writer One hundred and fifty offenders a week enter the Criminal justice system. At an Oct. 27 conference held at the University of Central Oklahoma, officials discussed the topic of education in the prison system.

Owen Modeland, superintendent of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, addressed a group of Oklahoma educators at the Oklahoma Commission on Edu-

cation Administration's 31st Annual Critical Issues Conference.

"The need to provide volunteer education, vocational or academic, is important in the rehabilitation process," said Modeland.

Modeland recently returned from the Governor' s Commission on crime.

"The conference showed how crime is impacting society," said Modeland.

Governor's Commission dealt with the issues of volunteer education in the prison system.

Foundation office offers scholarships

By Bobbi Beldon Student Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma Foundation office scholarships are at an all-time high according to the Foundation office.

For the 1992-93 academic year, the Foundation awarded through its general fund $131,000 in scholarships and program support to the university. • The Foundation awarded 115 scholarships for the Spring 1993 semester and 165 scholarships for . the Fall 1993 semester.

The selection committee, members of the Foundation board of trustees, reach their decision for

the awards based on grade point average and financial needs. Two particular scholarships are awarded for single parents and Veterans of Foreign Wars.

The amounts of the scholarships vary due to donor money and interest.

"We encourage students topick up a Foundation Scholarship Application , and to type a personal letter about themselves expressing their hopes and dreams" said Carolyn Wall, Foundation office."

Applications arc available in Rroom 102 of Evans Hall and are due back on Nov. 19.

tional programs in prison will be keep the taxpayer from spending another $14,000 a year to house an inmate," said Modeland In the Modeland' s presentation to the group of educators, a former prisoner talked about what he received through prison education.

"He's paying taxes and really excited about it." said Modeland.

Twenty percent of the 16,000 inmate population are illiterate.

Seventy-five percent to 80 percent of inmates have drug related problems. The average prison term is about 20 months.

Modeland said he felt that society needs an 'attitude adjustment'. While being incarcerated, the inmate through education could be made into productive member of society. Without a skill, the incarcerated are more likely to return to prison.

"Modeland spoke to educators from 24 state educational associa-

tions," said J.B. Flat, representative from the Education department.

"He spoke mostly to superintendents and principals," said Flat.

"Modelands presentation was very good. He could talk to students to work on prevention. Take care of them before they get in the system," said Flat.

Man who taught teen to point gun convicted in cabbie's death PAWHUSKA, Okla. (AP) — A Tulsa man who says he instructed a teen-ager how to point a gun when pulling off a robbery has been convicted in the December shying of a cab driver.

Jimmy "Tiny" Lanford was convicted Monday of firstdegree murder and conspiracy to commit armed robbery in the shooting of Charles Gross, 44, whose body was found in rural Osage County. He had been shot three times in the head.

Jurors fixed Lanford's punishment at two life sentences.

Jimmie Lee Lokey, 17, who prosecutors allege pulled the trigger. will face trial next spring.

In testimony during the five-dalv trial, Lanford testified he told Lokey how to hold the gun at the cabbie's head when asking for money. He said the plan was for Lokey to rob the cab driver, then take the cab and meet Lanford and another location.

Lanford claims he abandoned the plan when the cab took Lokev in a different direction.

Clinton signs 'religion' bill targeting Supreme Court decision WASHINGTON (AP) — President Clinton Tuesday signed a bill making it harder for government to interfere with what he called the most precious of all American liberties — religious freedom."

In a South Lawn ceremony attended by leaders from religious and civil liberties groups, Clinton said the bill honors "our principles that our laws and institutions should not impede or hinder but rather protect and preserve fundamental religious liberties."

The law targets a 1990 Supreme Court decision that made it easier for state and federal governments to pass laws that restrict an individuals religious practices.

The decision upheld laws that infringe on religious freedom eo long as they serve a valid government purpose and are not aimed at inhibiting religion.

The new law poses a stricter test, which the courts used before the ruling. That test requires that restrictive laws serve a compelling government interest in a way that poses the lightest possible burden on religious freedom.

2 UCO students elected to Nursing Association offices

By Michelle Peller Student Writer

Two members of the University of Central Oklahoma Student Nurses Association were elected to state office at the annual Oklahoma SNA Convention held last month in Oklahoma City.

UCO SNA members Susan Logan and Janie Roberts, who will both graduate in May 1994, were elected for the first time as state officers at the convention, said Susan Lee, UCO nursing student.

Susan Logan was elected as newsletter editor and Janie Roberts as treasurer, Lee said.

The state office is a board of directors which includes 12 students and three consultants who put together the conventions and provide information for students and other colleges, said Logan.

The responsibilities of a newsletter editor entails gathering articles, writing articles, researching information on workshops, past conventions and upcoming conventions and gathering ads, Logan said.

"I'm more or less the gatherer and proofreader," she said.

The treasurer will take care of the finances of the association, said Roberts.

"I'd like to see it profitable...," she said.

Oklahoma has 28 registered nursing schools, said Roberts.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — The University of Oklahoma's entry in a race of solar-powered cars crossed the finish line in Adelaide, Australia, in 22nd place.

"The Spirit of Oklahoma Two" finished the race at 4:45 p.m. on the eighth day of the race, which was Monday in Oklahoma, according to John Fagan, a university engineering professor who accompanied the team.

Sixty-one cars began the race but Fagan said only 30 would finish. The rest were coming in on trailers.

Fagan said everyone on the Oklahoma crew is in good health, although they've all lost a few pounds.

The Oklahoma crew had been out of touch with the rest of the world for days. Even the race committee didn't know where it was, Fagan said.

Ile said when the car came to towns with phones, they were racing too hard to stop, and when they stopped for the night they were in places with no phones.

The race began Nov. 7 in Australia's Northern Territory and ended in Adelaide in the south, 1,865 miles away.

Honda's $6.6 million "Dream" car came in first, setting a world record when it crossed the finish line in an unofficial time of 35 hours over less than five days.

nursing program..., "she said.

"This really gives us a chance to blow our own horns."

"We're a very successful organization," said Roberts. "We'd like to see continuation of that."

Both Logan and Roberts said they feel that they have the experience needed to hold the positions.

Logan feels that qualities such as creativity and good organization skills will help her in this position.

"I was enthusiastic about getting this position," she said. "I was pretty excited about it and still am."

Schools will be able to write in to the newsletter to let the other campuses know what they're doing, Logan said.

"I want to more or less tie the

other schools together," said Logan.

The newsletter is a "communication tool between Oklahoma constituents (nursing programs)," she said.

Roberts feels by owning and operating her own business a few years ago, prior to coming to Oklahoma, in addition, being married to a CPA, will give her the experience needed for the position.

"I'm looking forward to meeting students from other schools and working with members of the board," Roberts said.

Logan said both members will hold office until next October.

UCO's nursing students attended the convention where a banquet, workshops and election of board members was held, said Logan.

The Student Nurses Association at the University of Central Oklahoma will sponsor a burncare seminar for the first time from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Nov. 19 in Ballroom C of the University Center.

A burn specialist from U.S. Army Brook's Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas will cover topics such as: initial care forburn victims, intermediate care and long-term rehabilitation, said Susan Lee, UCO nursing student.

This workshop is being held because "there's so little informa-

An army recruiter was recruiting nurses to join the army and had a brochure of various topics.

The officers of SNA chose burncare as the topic because it seemed the most interesting and all the other topics had already been discussed in class, said Lee. "We wanted on depth (information) and wanted to encourage nursing students from other schools," she said.

Black Student Association president plans to introduce new courses

By Terri King Staff Writer Black Student Association president, Robert Lee Page, said he plans to speak to the Student Government Association introducing plans for multi-cultural history and humanities courses to be offered at the University of Central Oklahoma.

In the plan, students would have the option of taking ethnic studies courses like African American or Native American history in place of the current general education courses in history or humanities.

Page said the BSA is planing to start a petition drive around campus to present student support for the plan.

"We want to get the students involved. To get a change at UCO, you must begin with the students," said Page.

Page said he has a long-term goal of seven years for the plan beginning with minors being offered and then eventually a major.

Page said people have many

studies program has been at OU since 1977 and a minor is currently offered in the field.

Butler said he is not in favor of letting students choose what courses they will take, but that such courses should simly be required.

"We don't give a choice about studying Rome or Greece," said Butler.

Butler said he doesn't think a person should be able to get a history degree in Oklahoma without studying some Native American history for instance.

Chairperson of humanities and philosophy, Dr. S tephen Law, said the debate over a multicultural curriculum at UCO has been going on for 10 years.

Law said students must first become familiar with their own basic cultural history, forms and mainline traditions before they can benefit from ethnic courses.

"We can't understand another culture without understanding our own first. We need to add to the curriculum not substitute," said Law.

"Multiculturalism does not teach people to hate America. It teaches that the United States is everyone's. Minorities want our memory recognized so everyone can see," said Page.

Page said that if the history and culture of non-Anglo Americans was adequitely represented in textbooks, there wot Id be no need for multicultural studies.

President of the First American Student Association and Student Senate member, Michelle Aitson, said there is a need for students to be able to choose multicultural courses to increase awareness and education about other cultures.

"I don' t think there is an awareness among most people. I have friends who don't have any idea about Native Americans and what we have to offer," said Aitson.

UCO puts Greyhounds back on the bus with 36-7 loss

By Scott Moore

Student Writer On a cold, wet, overcast Saturday afternoon at Wantland Stadium, Central Oklahoma finished the 1993 campaign much in the same manner in which they started it - with a blowout.

The Broncho's handed Lone Star Conference rival Eas tern New Mexico a 36-7 thrashing in front of 500 shiverin g fans and finished the regular season with a 7-3 overall record, their best mark since 1985.

The seniors were honored before the game and they responded by leading the way on both sides of the ball.

Senior tailback Tyrone Jones spearheaded the Broncho offensive attack that amassed 385 total yards. Jones led all rushers with 141 yards on 31 carries and finishes the season with 1,108 yards good enough for his second straight LSC rushing title and his second straight 1,000-yard-plus season. His four-year total of 3,204 yards places him at fourth on UCO's career rushing chart.

Senior quarterback Terry Payne finished 8 of 13 for 150 yards and one touchdown (a 58-yard scoring strike to junior split end Tony Bryson). Payne has amassed 1,287

yards this season and finishes seventh on UCO' s single season passing chart.

Senior flanker Chad McCoy grabbed two passes for 36 yards, including a tough 21- â– ,arder in the third period that maintained a scoring drive. McCoy ownes a 20game pass catching streak, catching at least one pass in every game he has played as a Broncho.

The Broncho D held ENMU to just 148 yards total offense and a grand total of minus 23 yards on the ground. Senior linebacker Jason Melkisetian led the defensive charge with 14 total tackles, 10 unassisted. He finishes his career second on UCO's career tackle list with 416, just two away from tying the record. Melkisetian has led the Bronchos in tackles in nine of the last 10 games.

Senior defensive end Ira Richards recorded seven tackles, four for losses totaling 26 yards.

Richards also scored on a twoyard fumble return after forcing a fumble from ENMU quarterback Torrance Garfield with 3:28 left in the second quarter.

The defense also scored a safety with 8:43 left in the second when Garfield threw the ball away to avoid a sack in his own end zone.

Intentional grounding was called resulting in the safety.

Wrestlers claim titles Central Oklahoma had nine placers in last weeks Central Missouri Open, including two champions.

Winning titles for the Bronchos were three-time All-American Randy Zenner at 118 pounds and two-time national champion Keith Cunningham at 167.

Heavyweight Robert Washington finished second, while 126-pounder Brian Melchiori, 158-pounder Wes White and 190-pounder Chad Humphrey all placed third.

Other placers for the Bronchos were: Chris Griffin (177), fourth; Ryan Martin (134), sixth and Richard Hollis (142), sixth.

Zellner and Cunningham began their battle to become UCO's alltime winningest wrestler by both winning their titles.

Cunningham, ranked eighth on UCO's career won-lost list, upped his career record to 108- 36 while Zellner moved into a tie for 10th at 101-34.

Both appear to have excellent chances to pass the record of 131 set by four-time national champion Johnny Nimmo from 1986-1990 (131-38-1).

Defending national champion Wes White had a ten-match winning streak stopped in his first match when he was pinned. White came back to win four-straight.

Bronchos end year early Playoff hopes dashed despite win

By Justin Harper Vista Sports Editor Despite ending the year with an impressive 36-7 shellacking of Lone Star Conference rival Eastern New Mexico Saturday and notching its best record since 1985, Central Oklahoma's football team saw its NCAA Division II playoff aspirations fall by the wayside.

UCO, whose 7-3 mark was the schools best since the '85 squad went 7-2-1, did not qualify as one of the four teams from the West Region field. LSC champion Texas A&M Kingsville and regional powers, UC-Davis and Portland State, were obvious choices. However, the fourth team, Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference champ Fort Hays State, was a 30-0 loser to the Bronchos on Sept. 11.

UCO was done in by three-straight conference losses in October and its 2-3 mark in the LSC. The seven-win season was the 30th in school history.
