Web classes a popular option for students by Lauren Pulsinelli Senior Staff Writer Internet courses from "Greek Tragedy" to "Psychology of Grief' have been added to the classes offered next spring and is the only way some students are able to complete their college requirements. With more than 30 web courses being offered next semester, more than any other semester, the classes are filling up quickly.

"We need to offer more online courses at the university," said Dr. Kurt Hochenauer, an English professor who teaches both Internet and traditional courses. In the fall of 2002, Hochenauer was responsible for implementing the first online English composition course at UCO. This spring he will teach two online English Composition and Research classes. "There would be more

courses if professors asked; it's not because of the administration," Hochenauer said. "I think the university is very supportive of online courses." He said if students need a specific course to be offered, the student should talk to the head of that department. The Web courses are already filling up, and Hochenauer's classes have reached maximum enrollment and are currently closed. A reason some professors

might not want to teach Web must be able to answer quescourses is tions related to because of the writing assignhours.

Grad student arrested on domestic abuse charges

■

UCO professor explores the life of a Seminole chief.

by Joseph Wertz Staff Writer

by Kelley Chambers Staff Writer

A 23-year-old UCO graduate student was arrested Nov. 11 for a domestic abuse incident that occurred the day before at a university apartment complex near campus. Farland Deangelo Johns, a first-year wellness management graduate student was arrested by UCO Department of Public Safety officers after an incident occurring Nov. 10 at the Broncho 4 Apartments located near campus on the 900 block of Washington. "There was a knife involved [that was] used by the victim, but there was no injury resulting," said Jeff Harp, director of Public Safety at UCO. DPS has filed domestic abuse paperwork with the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office. "Under Oklahoma law we have 10 days to file charges," Harp said. Johns was unavailable for comment.

UCO adjunct history professor John L. Elder recently published a book about a Seminole warrior that he said has been mostly overlooked by historians. Upon further exploration, Elder discovered that very little was written about Wildcat, and the information that existed was often incomplete or vague. The book, "Everlasting Fire," was a 14year project that chronicles the life and times of Cowokoci, also known as Wildcat, a Seminole chief who led his people in battle in Florida and eventually to land in Oklahoma, promised to his people by the U.S. government in the mid 1800s. Elder said he first discovered Wildcat while taking a Southwest Studies seminar at UCO (then Central State University), more than a decade ago. "I was looking for something different," Elder said. "When I discovered Wildcat, he made such an impression on me. He was a patriot of the Seminole tribe." Elder's book strives to tell the whole story of Wildcat based on travels and exploration of documents about the Seminole tribe in Florida and Oklahoma. "It's the first time the whole story had been taken into consideration," Elder said. "Before I started, he (Wildcat) was only mentioned fleetingly in history." The book documents the plight of the Seminole people in battle in Florida to their journey to Oklahoma and Wildcat's eventual flight to Mexico where he died of smallpox. Several photographs and maps produced by Elder add a visual element to the sites and journeys written about in the text. Elder's mentor in the History and Geography Department, Royce Peterson, has read the book and described it as "excellent." "He has taken an important subject and turned out a very good book," Peterson said. Elder's book has received a glowing review from The Oklahoman, and he has been busy attending book signings around the state.

OPINION November 23, 2004

As you well know,

Quote of the day Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Albert Einstein

sealing these records violates the First Amendme...are those scissors? I've never been one for "details."

Today in History On this day in 1936, LIFE magazine debuted. The first cover pictured teh fort Peck Dam in Montana, part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program. On page 2, a photo showed a doctor slapping a newborn baby. The caption read, "LIFE begins."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, Where should I begin? Well, in the first letter by Tre, we are supposedly told that the root of the word liberal is "free." I find a small bit of irony in the fact that liberals such as yourself do not support this war in Iraq, which has "freed", or as you might prefer in the examination of the definition of liberals, "liberated" 25million Iraqi citizens from a tyrannical dictator who ruled by terrorizing his own people into loyalty via torture chambers, rape rooms and mass murders. Secondly, our man Tre points out that 48 percent of the U.S. voted against the President. Half is 50%... I've got news for you, sir. OVER half, 51%, of the U.S. voted for the President to be re-elected. This is called a majority. Also, I believe it is also worthy to note that no President has won over 50% of the popular vote since nearly twenty years ago _during Ronald Reagan's Era. Welcome to the minority, Mr. Ronne. My next few comments go out to Jacob Bone, the cochairman of the UCO Democratic Socialists. Sir, you made a comment saying that no Republican was present at

the UCO PC meeting. When the description of your organization entails attacking President Bush by defining the war in Iraq as "an illegal war" and other such negative comments regarding the current administration, do you honestly expect Republicans to attend your meetings? If you did, you might want to make a few changes to the ideology of your organization to see that happen next meeting. Secondly, when your membership includes such prominent liberal organizations such as the Democratic Socialists, G.A.T.E., and liberal professors of this organization, I believe it is a very fair assessment to simply title this organization as, yes, I know you hate it but here it is, liberal. Putting up smoke screens by re-titling the same cause that is of the UCO Young Democrats, Democratic Socialists and the liberal professors in your organization only advances our argument that the liberal left is now at the point of making desperate measures to champion their failing ideology.

STAFF EDITORIAL

Students should know their rights ecently, e members of the staff of The Daily 'Collegian, the school newspaper of Oklahoma State University, have experienced difficulties obtaining informa-

tion under the Oklahoma Open Records Act. "The purpose of this act is to ensure and facilitate the public's right of access to and review of government records

so they may efficiently and intelligently exercise their inherent political power," the act states (51 0.S.1991, 24A.2.). Students and every other

Oklahoma citizen should familiarize themselves with this important statute and the processes involved in requesting and obtaining with information they are entitled to.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the editor: I sit here at one of UCO's computers with a copy, of the Nov. 11 issue of The'Visia in hand. I am extremely upset to find that the only person to attempt to appease the almighty video game gods is Mr. Osborn. Every time I pick up a copy of your paper, I read

things about the election or morality. These things are only fillers to get you from -"one issue to the next. As Mr. Osborn knows, "Halo 2" was recently released and yet you let this hard-hitting, once in a lifetime story slip through your fingers. Everyone was talking about

how close the presidential election was this year. Well, if you want real controversey, I propose this question to all who read this...Which is better, "Halo" or "Halo 2." I personally have no stance on this issue as of yet. My bank account is low and I was forced to get a job to purchase my own copy. I

plan to quit as soon as I get enough money to find the alien insurgent once again. Fow now, I sit alone in my bed,. curled up in the fetal position crying into my "Tickle Me Elmo" doll and a pint of "Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey." Kevin Pratt Funeral Services, freshman

HEART OF THE AMERICAN DREAM

Erasers make the best pets for college students Like many college persons, I live in an apaitinent. As with many apartments, it's a bad idea to have any pets larger than an eraser. This rules out most animals other than microscopic beings such as yeasts, amoebas and sometimes fish. Those Sea Monkeys you used to get as a child are ideal because they are the perfect combination of microscopic organisms and fish, and they make absolutely no noise unless you obtain a stethoscope from a doctor. To obtain a stethoscope from a doctor, simply schedule an appointment through one of his many receptionists and ask if you can have his stethoscope

GAVIN D. ELLIOTT COLUMNIST for some very scientific research you are about to conduct. When he asks what this very scientific research is, tell him it's top secret or something. Whatever you do, don't tell him you are going to use it to monitor Sea

Monkeys. He would probably not give it to you then. After you obtain your stethoscope, you should place it directly on the surface of the Sea Monkey container. You will promptly hear the tortured screams of hundreds of starving Sea Monkeys because you have no idea what to feed these things. Now your very scientific research is complete. People in apartments sometimes break the "bad idea" rule and stick with conventional size pets such as cats, dogs and small horses. As I said in the beginning, it's always a bad idea to have a pet which

is larger than an eraser. Still, there are some dogs which are, in fact, smaller than erasers. These are the dogs that are most often found in apartments and, strangely enough, have evolved the highest annoying per square inch ratio in the dog kingdom due to their close proximity to large numbers of people. There is one of these such dogs in my apartment complex. When I get home from a hard days work at the office, I can always count on its incessant yapping to welcome me home. Sometimes it likes to hide behind a parking curb and jump out and latch on to my pants leg.

He thinks it's a game, and I guess I've come to love it as much as he does because when the owner is not looking, I kick it really hard in the ribs and send the furry-faced beast flipping end over end into the air, yapping. Now, before any animal rights activists get all jumpy and start sending me mail with lots of misspelled words, keep in mind, the dog likes it. Otherwise he would stop hiding behind the parking curb and jumping out at my pants leg. I suspect it's the only real fun this dog has during its day and sits at the door, waiting to get kicked in the ribs by the short guy with a Dodgers hat on.

CAMPUS QUOTES What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? "Dressing, because my mom knows how to make it."

"Rhubarb pie. It tastes good."

"Yellow cake. I have been having it since I was three."

"Smoked turkey. It's nontraditional because it's smoked.

NEWS IN BRIEF Israelis encourage Palestinian elections JERUSALEM — Israeli leaders told Secretary of State Cohn Powell on Monday that they will do their utmost to allow Palestinian elections to take place, including easing travel restrictions in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In a sign of improving ties after four years of Mideast fighting, Israeli officials also said they are willing to renew talks with the Palestinians on some issues, including security, and to coordinate the aftermath of Israel's planned withdrawal from Gaza and parts of the West Bank in 2005.

REVIEW from page 1

NEW YORK —The wrath of David Stern was unleashed, giving Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson and Jermaine O'Neal a long time — extremely long in Artest's case — to ponder the error of their ways. The NBA commissioner suspended Artest for the remainder of this season Sunday and disciplined eight other members of the Pacers and Pistons, sending a strong message that the league won't tolerate the type of unprecedented violence displayed Friday night.

Angry deer hunter kills five people BIRCHWOOD, Wis. —A deer hunter shot and killed five people and wounded three others in northwestern Wisconsin following a dispute about a tree stand during the hunt's opening weekend, authorities said.

"Submissions were chosen by the faculty advisors from the honor societies of the Liberal Arts College, as well as by individual professors," Rice said. "From these submissions, blind jurying determined which would be accepted for publication." According to the staff, "New Plains Review," the literary journal of UCO, solicits original, unpublished work in prose, poetry, drama, fiction

and research by students and faculty.

Each piece can be no longer than 25 pages, the title of the manuscript must appear on each page, and the authors name must not appear on the manuscript.

Then, a hard copy of the piece plus a disk with the authors name and title of the piece, containing the manuscript in Microsoft Word, must be turned in to the "New Plains Review" office or to the top left drawer of the metal chest outside the office. Each disk can only contain one submission. Authors that are accepted for publication are then advised by e-mail. Manuscripts can be picked up at the "New Plains

Review" office until the end of the semester following the submission deadline. Disks can also be claimed after publication preparation.

Central Oklahoma women's basketball Head Coach Shawn Williams captured her first career win against Central Arkansas 89-80 in the UCO Classic on Nov. 20 at Hamilton Field House. The Bronchos sit at 1-1 on the season, having lost to Missouri Southern in the season-opening 68-55 decision. Posting her first career and season win Williams said, "I feel excited about it, it was a big win. Central Arkansas is a great team." UCO dashed to an early lead in the first half coming strong out of the gate with a 10-3 run. Central Oklahoma led by as much as 11 (17-6) with 15 minutes left in the first half. Central continued to lead until 1:31 when Allicia Kellogg of UCA hit a 3-pointer to knot the game at 38. Lindsay Young hit a trey off an assist from Jennifer Bullis putting UCO up by three before the half. Kellogg nailed another three with 11 seconds left putting UCA even with the Bronchos 43-43 going into the locker room. The Bronchos struggled with the Sugar Bears to start the second half in a tug-of-war scoring battle. The Sugar Bears held a three-point lead at the 9:40 mark.

Evans wins at 141 by Harry Gatewood III Sports Writer Redshirt Freshmen Kyle Evans fought his way to the top, winning the 141-pound title in the 20-and-under division of the Nebraska-Omaha open on Nov 21 in Omaha. Evans' effort led the Central Oklahoma wrestling team with sophomore heavyweight LeadingFox joining Evans as the only other top qualifier. LeadingFox captured fifth place in the open. The Nebraska Open attracted over 700 wrestlers and 50 teams. Evans opened the two-day event with two decisive decisions. He then earned a 6-0 shutout victory in the third round before beating No. 2seed Tyler Safratowich of Minnesota 6-4 in the quarterfinals. Evans followed the win over Safratowich with 11-1 rout over George Roath of Dana (Neb.) in the semifinals. Evans cruised to an 8-2 triumph over Mike Zinnel of Iowa Community College in the championship match. Evans won six matches on his way to the title at 141, wrestling in one nail-biting match during his march to the title. Heavyweight LeadingFox skipped round one with a bye and took an 10-6 win before getting knocked out in the

quarterfinals. LeadingFox was pinned by two-time defending Division II National Champ Les Sigman of host NebraskaOmaha. LeadingFox rebounded with two-straight consolation wins. The heavyweight had an 3-1 sudden win over North Dakota State's Tim Kraemer. LeadingFox then fell to Iowa's Matt Fields. LeadingFox earned a forfeit in the fifth-place match. Shane Caruthers had a strong showing at 125 in the 20-and-under division. Caruthers won six matches coming a mere one match from placing. The redshirt freshmen fought hard in the consolations with both losses coming to Tony Valdez of Iowa Community College. Jason Leavitt at 157 and Ryan Daniels at 184 fought strong winning three matches apiece in the grueling Open division. Freshman Ryan Henning won three matches at 141 in the 20-and-under division. Central Oklahoma competed without key components such as All- Americans Wade Bramlitt and Kevin Lochner. Jerod Goodwin was pulled out of the tournament after suffering a minor injury in his third match.
