itterbugs beware. The next cigarette butt or tissue you toss out of the car could cost you. Oklahoma City and OKC Beautiful have teamed up for Litter Blitz 2001, an anti-litter campaign running from April 17 through May 15. One portion of the plan is to ticket motorists who litter from vehicles. This includes anything thrown from a car to improperly tied-down loads on trucks and trailers, said City Manager Jim Couch. Oklahoma City Police Chief M.T. Berry and Couch had an informal meeting April 17 to discuss the police department's role in the campaign. "Chief Berry recognizes that our police officers on patrol are critical to any long-term solution to littering. We think a blitz of littering tickets will have a deterrent effect — even when Litter Blitz ends on May 15," Couch said in an April 17
press release. Littering tickets in Oklahoma City begin at $85 and an Edmond citation costs $235. The second phase of the project is city-wide clean-up. Mayor Kirk Humphreys is urging citizens to organize trash pick-up events across the city. OKC Beautiful will supply gloves and bags. "Beautification is one of my top priorities, and we need to aggressively address our litter problem. We have to find longterm solutions, but we can also make an immediate impact with a program like Litter Blitz," Humphreys said. Any group participating will be honored publicly at the end of the campaign. Team leaders can call OKC Beautiful at 525-8822 to schedule times for trash removal by city collection vehicles. For more information on how to help with trash pick-up, call 297-2535 or log on to www.okc-cityhall.org. •

Buyback may trigger thefts at UCO, campus police warn BY NATALIE SMITH
C
Staff Writer
rime is everywhere. The crime rate at UCO is low, but still relevant, especially to the victims, according to UCO Police Chief Jeff Harp. Since book buy backs will start soon, unattended backpacks may be reported stolen so that people can sell the books for money, he said. Book buy backs at the University Book Store go on year-round, but from now until finals are over is the best time to sell them back to get the best rate available. "It is a shame that people can't trust anyone anymore. I mean, stealing people's backpacks? Give me a break," said Marce Terry, speech and language pathology graduate student. "Theft of property is the most frequent crime anywhere, and UCO isn't excluded," Harp said. Harp went on to say that larceny is simply people taking advantage of others. Most thefts are crimes of opportunity. There were 15 cases of burglary reported at UCO in 1998. There are very few reported cases of auto theft on campus — one in 1997 and four in 1998. "Most cars that are stolen turn up sooner or later. The ones that aren't are at the bottom of some lake, or shipped off to Mexico to be sold as parts," Harp said. Crime prevention is the key. Harp stresses that people should just be careful to lock their doors, roll up their windows and keep their things with them. •

SPORTS Bronchos finish fourth at LSC Championships BY RYAN Ross
U
Sports Writer
CO track and field placed fourth in the Lone Star Conference Track and Field Championships in Stephensville, Texas on Saturday, April 21. UCO women, going above and beyond last year's 5.5 points, accumulated 89 points in the two-day meet, while the men had 52 points. "With everything that these young men and women have gone through, I believe that if this is the caliber of people coming out of college, this world is in pretty good shape," Coach Paul Parent said in recognition to the last UCO track team to possibly ever grace this campus. Romy Krueger dominated the middle
distance running events in winning a pair of individual titles and leading the women. Krueger, who was virtually unstoppable, easily won the 800- and 1,500-meter runs, while also finishing third in the 3,000. "We had some great performances by both teams, but Romy really stood out and you can't say enough about what she accomplished," Parent said. "I was really proud of the way we competed and the things we were able to do." Krueger broke her own school record in winning the 1,500 in 4:47.01. UCO's women also got an individual gold medal from Delisa McClain in the hammer, while Hiroshi Watanabe won the hammer to lead the men's team. Runner-up Jamie Lucero finished third in the 1,500, while Sarah Winters was
fourth in the shot put and sixth in the hammer. Renea Bums took second in the javelin. Becky Harvey paced the Bronchos' charge in the long distance effort, placing third in the 10,000 and sixth in the 5,000. The Bronchos also got a third-place finish from Charles Sterling in the 400meter dash. Rob Zimmerman and Brandon Motte finished 4-5 in the 400meter intermediate hurdles. Taking fifth in the shot put and sixth in the discus, Brent Davidson achieved a pair of top-six finishes. UCO's 1600-meter relay team came in second. The Bronchos will return to action on Saturday, April 28 as they head to Winfield, Kan. for the Southwestern Kansas Relays. •

SPORTS Bronchos sweep Southwestern BY RYAN Ross
U
Sports Writer
CO baseball ended the regular season with a perfect road game record as they swept Southwestern Oklahoma State (SWOSU) on Friday and Saturday, April 20 and 21 in Weatherford. The No. 12-ranked Bronchos, finishing the season at 37-10 while winning the LSC North championship at 21-3, dominated the three-game series against the Bulldogs. UCO stormed over SWOSU on Friday and picked up 13-10 and 16-6 doubleheader victories on Saturday. "We wanted to finish the regular season on a good note and we were able to do that with a good sweep on the road," said UCO Coach Wendell Simmons, whose team is a perfect 15-0 in road games this season. "To go through an entire regular
season without losing on the road is a tremendous achievement." NCAA Division II home run leader Ray Danzy had UCO's big bat as he belted his 19th homer of the season to give the Bronchos a 7-5 lead. The Bulldogs got one run back in the bottom of the sixth, but the Bronchos got two more in the top of the seventh inning as Rod Richardson had an RBI single to make it 9-6. SWOSU's three-run rally attempt in the bottom of the seventh inning pushed a tie and forced the game into extra innings. UCO answered the Bulldog's rally with a ninth-inning four-run charge. Rothy Briggs put the Bronchos ahead with a two-run homer, then Dusty Jones stepped up and added a two-run single, making it 13-9. SWOSU managed only one run in its half of the ninth inning. Richardson went 4-for-4 to lead
UCO's 19-hit attack, while Briggs and Danzy both had three hits and Al Morales picked up the pitching win in relief. UCO started the nightcap off with a three-inning, five-run charge as Danzy had a two-run single. The Bulldogs would not go easily and pushed across six runs in the fourth to go on top 6-5. Rogers answered SWOSU back in the fifth inning with a two-run homer as UCO added three runs. UCO broke the game wide open in the sixth inning with five more runs. Todd Higgins and Matt Wright had RBI doubles in that frame to give UCO a commanding 13-6 lead. Justin Vinyard's two-run single in the seventh inning aided for three UCO insurance runs.

Secretaries to be celebrated at April 25 luncheon
Alumni banquet ahead BY MICHAEL LARSON

A
Staff Writer
dministrative Professional's Day, formerly known as National Secretary's Day, will be celebrated Wednesday, April 25. A Secretary's Day Luncheon is planned for April 25 at UCO. It
will be in the University Center Grand Ballroom at 11:30 a.m. The theme for the luncheon is "It's a Jungle Out There," and the keynote speaker will be KWTV Channel 9's Jenifer Reynolds. "The reason I asked Jenifer to speak at the luncheon is because she used to be a secretary. She's got some fun stories to share,"
Outstanding Mentor Award
Kimber Shafer, director of programs and promotions, said. Shafer used to work with Reynolds, and says that she is an inspiration because she worked her way up to the top, while working and caring for her two little girls. National Secretary's Day occurs during Professional Secretaries week, which is the third week in April. It has been celebrated since 1952 as an effort to honor secretaries and other
office staff for their efforts and to attract more people to office and administrative careers. "Secretaries should be recognized all the time, not just on Secretary's Day, because they are the backbone of any good business," Brey Woodress, senior general education major, said. For more information, call the UCO Programs and Promotions Office at 974-2245. •

"Patch Adams" doctor, clown speaks at Muskogee symposium BY SARAH ROBERSON

Staff Writer
unter "Patch" Adams, the physician behind the 1998 Universal Studios movie, is speaking today at the 2nd Annual Azalea Pediatric Symposium. The conference is designed to give information on technology and medical advances in pediatric healthcare. Adams, as both a medical doctor and a clown, uses laughter to help his patients through a vision of free health care. "The best therapy is being happy," said Adams on the Wellness Show. "All the other things doctors can do are at best aids." Adams, who has devoted 30 years to changing America's healthcare system, is currently building a hospital at the Gesundheit Institute in West Virginia.

Fans of Tolkien trilogy await new film
The Battle for the "Ring of Power" rages on in New Line Cinema's
BY BETH HULL
Staff Writer R.R. Tolkien fans around the world are anticipating the New Line Cinema release of Fellowship of the Ring December 19 — the first installment in the epic trilogy Lord of the Rings. "I'm pumped! They're actually staying truer to the books from what I've heard," said Michelle Swedlow, senior physics major. "It's been about_ 15 years since I read all of the books, so before the movies come out I plan on scanning through them again so I can see how well the movies were made." The films are based on Tolkien's fantasy novels of the same name. Fellowship of the Ring chronicles the journey of hobbit Frodo Baggins and his friends as they seek to destroy the powerful One Ring so it doesn't fall into the hands of the dark lord Sauron.

The film version stars Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins and Ian McKellen as Gandalf the Grey, wizard and friend of Frodo. Dr. Bettie Jo Knight, UCO associate professor of English, has taught fantasy literature in the past and is a fan of Tolkien's work. "There are so many themes [Tolkien] is dealing with, that even people who aren't into fantasy tend to enjoy Tolkien's work," Knight said. "Looking at a fantasy world can help you look at your own world in a new perspective." Local game and comic shops expect to have more film-based products for sale following the release. Ed Bryan, owner of Game HQ in Edmond said he expects new items to arrive in early fall. "There isn't much out right now, but there are several games due to be released in September," Bryan said.
Jim Lane, owner of Dragonfyre Comics in Oklahoma City, is a fan of the Tolkien trilogy and anticipates a larger fan base after the film's release. "There's going to be a lot hype and publicity, so I'm hoping it does well. I think there's already a lot of interest in the fantasy-type stuff now, but it's been mostly from older people. I hope this movie will encourage a younger fan base," Lane said. Game publishing company Wizards of the Coast has already released a Lord of the Rings board game targeted at players 12 and older. According to Jack Sabin, director of corporate communications for Wizards of the Coast, there has been a demand for Tolkien games for quite some time. For more information about the film, visit New Line Cinema's website at www.lordoftherings.net. •

RHA to travel to California conference BY ANNE SCHLESSELMAN
U
Student Writer CO's Residence Hall Association (RHA) is
planning a trip to the National Association of College and University Residence Hall conference May 24 through 26 at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles. There will be over 200 universities all over the United States and Canada attending the conference, said Christi-Lynn Bethea, RHA adviser. "Each conference has a philanthropy project," said Bethea. The project at USC will take place the day before the actual conference. "It is more of a beautification project," said Stephanie Bowman, vice president of RHA. The association will be cleaning up graffiti as well as surrounding school playgrounds and planting flowers,
said Bowman. The conference provides programs such as leadership skills, ideas for events to do at UCO and a lot of information, said Bethea. There will also be speakers for the association. UCO's attendees will present four programs: "We Like to Move It Groove It," "How to Survive College on $1.10 and a Roll of Duct Tape," "Just Kick It" and "Swing Into Leadership," said Bowman. Displays and banners will be entered into competition during the conference also, said Bethea. Nine students and one adviser from UCO will be attending the conference. "Anyone who lives in a residence hall is a member of the RHA, but to go to this conference they must be active members," said Bethea. Being active includes attending RHA meetings and showing leadership roles in the different committees and service projects provided by the association. •

This is the second year that UCO has been directly involved in the walk. Around 100 UCO students and faculty are expected to attend the event. All the money will go to the American Heart Association. "Almost everyone has a friend or family member affected by heart disease. This gives us a chance to do something about it,"
Wallenmeyer said. If anyone would like to attend, registration begins at 8 a.m. at the ballpark. For those who cannot make it to the walk can sponsor a student who is walking. For more information on attending or sponsoring the walk, contact Wallenmeyer at 974-2316. •

ony Award winning Broadway, television and film actress Anna Maria Alberghetti will perform at the Broadway Tonight Series fundraiser benefit in May at UCO. "An Evening With Anna," will begin at 7:30 p.m. May 12 in Mitchell Hall Theatre. Alberghetti will sing a mixture of Broadway hits and Italian classics, said Susan Reger, informational specialist/writer for the UCO president's office. Reger said the fundraiser is held to offset the high cost of Broadway shows that are coming to UCO. Director of the Broadway Tonight Series, Jon Finch, has known Alberghetti for several years. Finch said he invited Alberghetti because she is a prestigious, Tony Award-winning actress.
"She appeals to the older symphony crowd," said Finch. Alberghetti has agreed to volunteer, allowing all proceeds to go to the fundraiser. Reger said both Finch and Alberghetti believe in raising the standards of art. Alberghetti won a Tony award in 1962 for the musical "Carnival." She has been in films with various famous actors and actresses such as Bob Hope, Charlton Heston, Jerry Lewis and Rosemary Clooney. She was also on the "Ed Sullivan Show" many times. Reger said Alberghetti will be in two movies this summer titled "Friends and Family," and "The Whole Shebang" with Bridget Fonda and Stanley Tucci. The sponsors for the show include Subway Development Incorporated, The Edmond Sun, Oklahoma Arts Council and Citizens Bank. To make reservations, call Reger at 974-2654. •

BY DAVE THE GREAT, Sta-ff-Mys-tk Advice Dude
A
s the semester draws to a close, I would like to dedicate this column to all the people I have helped with my advice over the last semester. Unfortunately, they are all still in jail or the hospital I could not call them and get any quotes (except for one man whom I gave dating advice to, but all he would say was "die Dave ... Dave must die ... kill ..."). The last advice of the semester goes to two people who wrote in to www.thevistaonline.com's forums. (Yes, all the letters I print are actually submitted by readers.) I am an attractive-looking female. I have liked this guy for a while now. He is a sexy tall blonde. I have had extreme fantasies about him. I have yet to have the courage to go up to him and talk. I see him about four times a week on campus here at UCO, and I talk to one of his track friends every once in a while. I e-mailed him a while back but he never knew who I was; all he knows is that I know him and that I like him. He always said that he would meet me. I am just wondering how I can get the courage I need. My friends all say that a good-looking woman like me has no reason to worry, but I do anyway. Please help me sooth my love sickness! —Shy Girl
Dear Shy: Many people are more courageous in the semi-private world of e-mail, but get tongue-tied in face-to-face situations. No matter how good-looking you are, it is still perfectly natural to be shy — almost everyone is (although it's silly and counter-productive, as most men feel that confidence is the sexiest quality a woman can have). Since you tell me he has agreed to meet you, set up a meeting in a safe place, and not just safe in the traditional sense of "crowds of people, a cop nearby and well-lit." Find a place that gives you all of these things, but also some distractions, conversation pieces and a graceful way out for both of you. Avoid movies, as sitting in the dark next to a perfect stranger for two hours while watching Freddy Got Fingered is enough to creep anyone out, and meeting at McDonalds is a sure-fire way to spill mustard on your shirt minutes before he arrives. I recommend one of Edmond's antique stores, about half an hour before closing time. This gives you things to look at and talk about if the conversation flounders, and when the store kicks you out, it gives you the chance to gracefully part ways if you turn out not to click. As far as getting the courage, call the store first to find out what times they close, then write an e-mail, re-read it a few times, let it sit for a while, then send it the next day. It is just like jumping into a cold swimming pool.

I have heard that spring and summer are a good time to go hunting. the species I want to hunt this year is the same as what I have tried to hunt the last two years. It is the illusive pooh bear who likes to groan "oh bother." Every time I engage in the hunt, it always seems to run away before I can get a shot off. Since this is my last year at UCO, I was wondering if there is a chance that I will catch this creature. —Jazzyfreak

The grand tradition of the pooh bear hunt goes back to England's middle ages, when nobles would ride forth and skewer poohs, piglets and the occasional depressed donkey. Pooh hunting came to America in 1781, when George Washington released several flocks of poohs into the Virginia woods. The tradition died out during WWI, when the poohs were almost hunted to extinction to feed out troops overseas. Still a protected species in most states, recent breeding efforts have allowed Gov. Frank Keating to sign legislation allowing controlled hunting of pooh bears in Okfuskee, Okmulgee and Cado counties. Bring a big shotgun, a jar of honey and enough cash to fend off the herd of Disney lawyers who will sue me for writing this satire.
