UCO awarded grant for emergency planning ■ Of 200 higher education institutions that applied for a portion of a $3.2 million disaster resistance grant, UCO was one of 27 chosen. by Joseph Wertz Staff Writer UCO was one of 27 colleges and universities to receive a $75,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The "Disaster Resistant University" grant will be used to create plans and projects focused on reducing loss to students, faculty and facilities. "This grant is new for FEMA," said

For students stressed about final exams the perfect gift might be massage therapy. Holiday gift certificates for massage are available at the Wellness Center by licensed massage therapist Latitia Jackson. "There's a lot of stress around here," Jackson said. A stressful semester is the main reason the Residence Leadership Council will host a night of relaxation with Jackson and give a lecture on ways to reduce stress in West Hall. "It is primarily for residence, but we are not going to turn people away," said West Hall Residence Associate Sarah Reed. "I'm sure it will be a big hit with the students." Jackson graduated from UCO in 1992 and then worked as a department secretary. Before she left to go to the Whitter River School of Massage in Arkansas, Jackson promised her colleagues she would be back. Jackson's connections at UCO might have helped her become the Wellness Centers massage therapist, but it was probably the eight-month, 500-hour program followed by a two-hour state board test and a one-hour, hands-on massage test to get a license that qualified her for the job. Jackson specializes in Swedish massage, reflexology, deep tissue and reiki. Reiki, Jackson said, is "an old, old Japanese technique of doing energy work. Basically energy comes from the hands-on technique, and there is a higher power that pulls tension right out of the body," Jackson said. "The energy just flows out of my hands. It's not because I'm a special person. It's just that I have taken the time to develop this technique." When Jackson meets with clients she talks to them about their daily routines, so she can determine what type of massage would be best for

OPINION December 2, 2004
Quote of the day There are more pleasant things to do than beat up people. —Muhammad Ali
Today in History On this day in 1867, writer Charles Dickens gave his first public reading in the United States in a New York City theater. The line for his first reading in New York was more than a mile long.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Editor, I have been silent too long. Mr. Cleek hit a nerve that has been aching for some time. I am amazed at how conveniently short his memory is regarding the reasons listed by the Bush administration for our invasion of Iraq. The President managed to convince congress that Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden were in league with each other. He also falsely alleged that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The war in Iraq was to be a war on terrorism. The Iraqi people were at the bottom of the list. Exactly how have we improved the lives of Iraq's citizens? Prior to our arrival the only terrorist in Iraq was Saddam Hussein; their country is now a magnet for every terrorist, in the middle east, who dreams of jihad against the United States. The majority of the 1200 terrorists killed in Fallujah were not Iraqi
citizens. Car bombs, mortar attacks, and random shootouts with U.S. led forces are dangers that the citizens must be concerned about on a daily basis. The Bush administration says that the situation will only deteriorate as Iraqi elections draw near. My, how their lives have improved. And for the record Mr. Cleek, I am a moderate. I am also an honorably discharged veteran of the United States Army, and was a combatant in Operation Desert Storm. I am adamantly opposed to the war in Iraq. Any military action that places the men and women of our armed services in harms way to forward an administration's personal and financial agenda is criminal. Edward Lee McGuffin, Engineering Physics Freshman
Tri Almost 40 million Americans are afflicted with HIV/AIDS It hasn't gone away. It just waits in the shadows. CARTOON BY ERIC OSBORN
LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the editor: In the Nov. 23rd Vista, Travis Cleek welcomed me to the minority. His tone implied that being in the minority is shameful. Mr. Cleek, I would like to remind you that 19th Century abolitionists were a minority. I hardly think that unpopular views constitute failed ideologies as you wouldlike to believe. Even good ideas-- take time to spread, particularly when those ideas are vilified by people holding and benefiting from the popular ideology. Mr. Cleek, you seem to think that people oppose the Iraq
war because they oppose other people's freedom. This is simply not the case. I oppose the war because I doubt our ability to impose a democracy through invasion and occupation. Hopefully time will prove otherwise. I oppose the war because I fear the hatred that springs from violence and that leads to more violence. And I oppose the war because I believe that the Bush administration was motivated less by desire to spread democracy and more by desire for regionaldominance (check out the Project for a New American Century
and its founders). Furthermore, I would hardly call the Iraqi people more "free" when they are trapped between extremist insurgents and our military. At most, you can say that anti-war advocates have a pessimistic view of war, but then, I would call that a realistic view of war. Tre Ronne General Studies junior
THE BODY POLITICK
Cure for AIDS is truth and honesty Dec. 1 was World AIDS Day, and gave us a much-needed excuse to take a look at a largely preventable epidemic that is destroying lives and families worldwide. As it stands today, 39 million people are living with HIV/AIDS globally. Nearly 12 percent of those infections occurred in 2004. Clearly there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, but new drugs "cocktails" are allowing many infected to live much longer. AIDS drugs typically cost $1200 a month, and have terrible side effects. Maybe you don't know someone with AIDS who has to take forty pills a day, but maybe you know someone who has underwent chemotherapy for cancer. The medication makes you feel worse than the disease itself. There are two main aspects of the world AIDS crisis. The first is treating
JOSEPH WERTZ COLUMNIST people already infected with the virus, and the other is the prevention of new infections. When was the last time you saw someone who was visibly dying of AIDS? Maybe not in person, but maybe an account in a newspaper or a magazine? At some point in the media, people quit dying of AIDS, and began living with AIDS. You might be able to chalk up the newer word usage to sensitivity to
those with the disease. However, political correctness is diluting what the main focus of the HIV/AIDS epidemic should be — preventing new infections. Lines are drawn politically, but here in America, neither political party is doing enough. Both the Republicans and the Democrats are ignoring ways to prevent the spread of AIDS. There were over 2 million new HIV/AIDS infections in 2004 in children under the age of 15. Most AIDS infections occur through sexual encounters and there are always countless safe sex advocacy groups centering around teaching safer sex. Children under the age of 15 shouldn't be having sex. Yes, many, if not most of them are having sex, but they don't have to be. AIDS is just one reason we need to spend time and money informing children that abstaining from sex is the best tool available
to prevent the AIDS infection. Many Demorcats however, don't like the idea of teaching abstinence. It most likely stems from religious overtones in many pro-abstinence movements. But for quite a few deomcrats, teaching abstinence just dosen't seem a viable option. We have everything to gain from teaching children to hold out on having sex. Forget family values, religion or marriage. We are talking about disease prevention, and the health of our youth. Republicans aren't off the hook either. Needle exchange programs make many in the Republican Party shiver. Sixty-one percent of women affected with AIDS is due to injection drug use, or sex with a partners who inject drugs. More than half of all children born with HIV is as a result of injection
drug use. Though interevenous drug users are social pariahs, like it or not, needle exchage programs work. A study of 29 cities with needle exchange programs done by the Center for Disease Control shows nearly a six percent decrease in HIV infections. We just need to paint an accurate picture of the AIDS problem, how people are infected, and what we can do to prevent more infections. We don't need to pick and choose a few programs to support, attempting to find a single channel to prevent infection. The AIDS pandemic should have a single primary goal — to do anything and everything possible to prevent AIDS infections. We have to find a way to be empathetic to those living with HIV/AIDS without glossing over the reality of this disease.

Parade to cause parking lot closures
NEWS IN BRIEF

Ukraine parliament brings down government
Staff Writer
KIEV, Ukraine — Ukraine's parliament brought down the government of Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych with a no-confidence motion Wednesday in a show of the opposition's strength. The outgoing president called for an entirely new presidential election to be held to resolve the country's spiraling political crisis. Yanukovych and his opposition rival Viktor Yushchenko sat down for talks Wednesday in the presence of European mediators and outgoing President Leonid Kuchma. Tens of thousands of opposition supporters have been demonstrating in the streets for days, saying the vote was fraudulent and that Yushchenko was the winner.
Barghouti to seek Palestinian presidency RAMALLAH, West Bank — Associates of Marwan Barghouti said Wednesday that the jailed Palestinian uprising leader has decided to run for president, reversing an earlier decision and throwing Palestinian politics into disarray. The deadline for announcing a candidacy is midnight Wednesday.
AIDS Day observed around the globe GENEVA — Campaigners sang, lit candles and marched Wednesday as they observed World AIDS Day by turning the spotlight on the need to protect women and girls, often sidelined in the fight against the disease. "Today the face of AIDS is increasingly young and female," said Peter Piot, head of UNAIDS. "We will not be able to stop this epidemic unless we put women at the heart of the response to AIDS."
The commuter portion of the C-8 student parking lot will be closed the morning of Dec. 2 to allow room for the staging of the holiday parade.
Commuter parkers will be allowed to park in the adjacent faculty/staff lot. The C-8 parking lot is located in the southwest corner of the main campus, south of Mitchell Hall. The UCO Department of Public Safety has been placing flyers on cars
alerting students to the lot closure. "There will be many unhappy people, and I wish this was something we could avoid," said Jeff Harp, director of Public Safety at UCO. The commuter portion of the parking lot will be the only section closed.
`SNL-esque skit to feature cast of nine students, comedians by Michael Robertson Staff Writer
UCO Campus Life will present "Friday Night Live," a student-written comedic skit show based on the "Saturday Night Live" format, at 7:00 p.m. Dec. 6 in the Nigh University Center's Constitution Hall. Dallas Strimple, event coordinator, said the show will feature a nine-person cast and will be hosted by UCO student body President Lane Perry. Strimple said the cast wrote their
own material, doing weeklong writing sessions to brainstorm ideas. "They all just got together and threw out ideas, then worked them up together into skits," Strimple said. Cast member Jason Hines said he's always been a "Saturday Night Live" fan and was excited to audition for the show. "At first, I thought we would just copy "Saturday Night Live" skits, but it's like we write our own original "I spent stuff," Hines said. Thanksgiving break writing scripts."
Hines said that some of the material contains political humor, including a skit he wrote in which President Bush holds auditions for new cabinet members. Other skits include 'A Dramatic Moment with Jason Hines,' in which he tells an ironic dramatic story and a skit about a lifeguard that takes his job too seriously. "Everyone had awesome ideas, and we just went with it," Hines said. For more information about "Friday Night Live," call the office of Campus Life at 974-2363.

Lucas' donation aids film department LONG BEACH, Calif. — "Star Wars" creator George Lucas donated $100,000 to California State University, Long Beach, for film department scholarships and equipment. Lucas donated the money at the request of the Department of Film and • Electronic Arts. Although Lucas attended the University of Southern California, director Steven Spielberg, his close friend, went to Cal State Long Beach. The university needed the money to fix or repair equipment damaged by an October storm. A satellite dish on the department's building fell through the roof during the storm, allowing water to seep into the building. The department may not have been able to restore damaged cameras, projectors and videotape machines without the Lucas donation, department chair Craig Smith said recently.

Henning, LeadingFox lead Bronchos in OU Open
Central heads into conference play with a 2-2 record by Harry Gatewood III
The game was a tug-of-war contest featuring 20 lead changes and 14 ties. OCU scored five unanswered points from the foul line, breaking a 68-68 tie and taking an 73-68 lead with 12 seconds left. Lindsey Wilson cut into the lead, hitting a 3-pointer with 0:04 left, to draw the Bronchos within two at 73-71. But UCO was called for a foul while trying to force a turnover on the inbounding pass. OCU nailed the two clinching free throws with three seconds remaining.
Sports Writer The Central Oklahoma women's basketball team broke even last week at the Cameron PowerAde Classic in Lawton, Okla. losing to Oklahoma City University 7571 and defeating Oklahoma Panhandle State University 7560. In game two of the holiday classic, OCU made sevenstraight free throws in the last 49 seconds to hand Central a pain-staking 75-71 loss in the Cameron PowerAde Classic on Nov. 27.

Meghan Craig made four 3pointers and finished with 19 points to lead the Bronchos. Laura Hamilton hit all three of her 3-point tries in adding 11 points. OCU won the game at the line, hitting 28-of-39 free throws while the Bronchos hit 13-of-16. The Stars jumped out to a 17-5 lead early in the game, but UCO came back to tie it 18-18 on a Jackee' Brown jumper. OCU ended the half with a 31-30 lead. The game went back-andforth in the final 20 minutes before the Stars last minute free throw barrage. The Stars are ranked fifth in NAIA after finishing as national runner-up last year. In game one of the classic on Nov. 26, Jennifer Bullis' career-high 14 points and clutch 3-pointer late in the contest helped Central Oklahoma snuff an Oklahoma Panhandle comeback attempt in a 75-60 UCO victory. The Bronchos never trailed, grabbing an 33-17 halftime lead. Central expanded the lead to 26 midway through the second half. OPSU rallied, hitting four 3-pointers in a seven-minute span cutting the lead to six at 63-57 with three minutes remaining. Bullis hit a trey seconds later to up the lead to 66-57 as UCO pulled away in the final minutes. The Bronchos were hampered by 29 turnovers, with 19 in the second half. Bullis hit 4-of-5 treys while adding four assists and was one-of-four players in double figures. Jackee' Brown was 9-of-11 from the free throw line in scoring 11 points. Lacie Allen added 10 points and eight rebounds while Amber Robertson added 10 points. The Bronchos are 2-2 and travel to Texas this weekend to face Texas A&M-Kingsville tonight and Texas A&MCommerce on Friday.
