world. Consider this commentary a good-bye letter. On behalf of the editors and reporters who will remain, the departing staff has some suggestions for students and organizations who wish to have coverage for their event or special person. First, The Vista is not a public relations arm of the college. The Vista is a working newspaper dedicated to teaching student journalists how to do the job. Second, give the managing editor as much lead time as possible. This increases the chances that an event can be covered. Third, ask if the story really is news. Will a student who has never heard of your group care? Does the story belong in a newsletter instead? Fourth, remember that The Vista serves the entire UCO student community. Many stories cannot be covered due to time and space constraints. Last, remember that these are student writers who are learning from every story, every mistake and every interview. As for the staff who are leaving â&#x20AC;&#x201D;it's been fun but we're outta here! Bye.

Oklahoma colleges graduate 24,822 students this spring By N. David Owens

Staff'-''

'ff;'-:

he brains of 24,822 students will get a stamp of approval this spring, according to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. These brains, and the bodies they are attached to, will receive academic diplomas from Oklahoma's higher education system this spring. "We hope to see Brain Gain 2010 take root and increase the number of graduates every year," said Laura Callahan, public information officer for the Regents. The Brain Gain 2010 initiative is the Regents' longrange plan to increase the number of Oklahoma residents holding college degrees per capita to compete with other states. "It's up slightly from last year...when 24,801 (students) were estimated to receive diplomas," Callahan said. More than 1,400 of the

soon-to-be-degreed brains reside in the skulls of UCO graduating seniors and masters, said Donna Auby, of the degree certification office. These students will be addressed by Dr. Roger Webb, president of UCO, at the graduation commencement ceremonies May 5 and 6. The Regents are encouraging people of all ages and backgrounds to improve their educational standing. "As the State Regents start towards their goal of increasing the number of degree holders in Oklahoma, it is exiting to see Oklahomans of all ages

achieving their goal," said Hans Brisch, chancellor of the Regents. The most popular fields of study for the current crop of graduates are business, education, criminal justice and psychology, Callahan said. Graduates earning their associates degree this spring are most likely to be studying business, nursing and general studies. Over 4,100 students have made it to the masters level, while 384 have earned doctoral degrees and 650 have earned professional degrees in areas such as law and medicine.

We hope to see Brain Gain 2010 take root and increase the number of graduates every year. Laura Callahan Public Information Officer for the Regents \V`

NolteMor

ixing business with pleasure isn't normal 1 y advisable, but to members of the College of Business Administration, this week is high time to do just that. On April 27, UCO's College of Business Administration (CBA) will host its annual banquet to recognize students who have excelled in the past year. The banquet, which will be held in the University Center Ballroom, will be hosted by Dr. David Harris, dean of the CBA.

Among the numerous accolades to be given out are the Milton Bast Outstanding Business Student award, the Laura Valentine Trust Scholarship and the Farmers Insurance Group Scholarship. The Milton Bast award, which is the highest honor at the CBA, will be presented to Ercilia Castle, a student in the college's marketing department. In order to be selected for the award, a student is first nominated by their department and then voted on by each faculty member in the CBA. "It's a great honor because

all of the people that surround me every day are very special," said Castle, who will also be receiving the Collegiate Marketing Association Outstanding Student Award as well as the Marketing Department Outstanding Student Award. "I don't think I could accomplish any higher achievement here," Castle said. Dr. Stacia Wert-Gray, chair of the marketing department, expressed great satisfaction in Castle's selection. "It is because of the vision and commitment that drives leaders like Ercilia Castle that we have a united voice on issues such as the summer graduation," said Wert-Gray, noting Castle's involvement with the efforts to include summer graduates' names in the spring commencement book.

Wrangler wins AFL honor 1 OKLAHOMA CITY, OK-The Arena Football League named Oklahoma Wranglers' offensive specialist Carlos Johnson the league's Player of the Week today. Johnson capped a career night by catching the game-winning 28-yard touchdown pass from Ron Lopez with :41 left in Oklahoma's 6864 victory over the San Jose SaberCats Friday night. Johnson posted career highs with 11 catches, 182 receiving yards and four touchdown receptions. He added a 49Carlos Johnson yard kickoff runback for touchdown, totaling 87 yards on three returns overall. "I'm very proud. I've worked really hard and the hard work is paying off," Johnson said. "Getting the opportunity has made a big difference. Plus, (quarterback) Ron Lopez and I have been on the same page since training camp. He knows what I'm going to do before I do it and I know what he's thinking." Through the first two games, Johnson is second in the AFL in receptions (10.5 per game) and receiving yards (142.5) and third among active players in scoring with 42 points (six receiving touchdowns, one kick return TD). That 49-yard return for TD also helped boost the second-year player to eighth overall in kickoff returns. His 21 catches this season already have surpassed the 20 he had in 1999. With 285 receiving yards and six TD receptions, he's close to his rookie year totals of 306 yards and eight touchdowns. "At the beginning of the season, we weren't sure that Carlos was going to be our starter. We weren't sure that he had enough juice in him," Wranglers' head coach Bob Cortese said. "We always questioned his toughness, but you know what? I will never question his toughness after last week and this week. He's a young guy that I think is going to make a name for himself with the Wranglers." —From staff reprots

Thanks, UCO, for the memories By Celie Rabalais

Editor in Chief -

he goal I have strived to achieve is in my grasp. At 2 p.m. on May 6, I will walk into the Hamilton Field House as one of UCO graduates. It has been a long, hard journey, but the end of the road is in sight. Finally. I have enjoyed my years at UCO. They allowed me an opportunity to interact with people of all different races, creeds and nationalities, as well as achieve the higher education I was seeking out. I made friendships with people of all age groups that I hope will last a lifetime. During my fmal year, I started working for The Vista as a reporter. I quickly moved up the ladder to columnist, copy editor and finally to editor-in-chief. The climb was hectic and stony but, I made my way up to the top. All in all, I've enjoyed my work at The Vista. The long, tedious hours (sometimes as many as 18 hours a day) was well worth all the skills I have learned. My self-confidence blossomed as I learned I could do things I never dreamed of.

Who would have thought I could handle a college schedule, maintain a high GPA, raise two teenage children, keep my marriage intact and still put in long hours designing and laying out every issue of the paper (with the exception of one) back-to-back, and not lose my sanity. But, hey, I did it. Thanks to the love and support of my husband, kids and family. I also would never have achieved what I have without the support and encouragement of the Journalism staff. Especially Dr. Clark, Dr. DeSanto and Mrs. Sump. They were always there to encourage me when I needed it. Also, The Vista staff was instrumental in helping me achieve my goal. Whenever I started to feel defeated, they were there to pull me back up. A special "thanks" goes to John Reagor, Robyn Lydick, Allison Franklin, Carmen Gore, Jarrod Briley, Chieko Hara and Ms. Nancy Brown. There is one person to whom I

owe a great big "thank you." And , that person is Farzana Razak. If it wasn't for Farzie (as we lovingly call her) I would have been lost. She was always there to bail me out of a troubled spot and willing to share her awarding-winning design and layout knowledge with me. Last, but not least, I thank my readers who have followed my progression in the paper and have written encouraging e-mails to me. The high praise of my articles gave me the extra little push to continue

on. Of course, there were often times when I wanted to throw my hands up and say "That's it...I quit.. Those times were the worst part of the job. I'm ashamed to say, but they were often. And the sad part is, those times had very little to do with the everyday workings of The Vista. They had to do with professors, who instead of complimenting and encouraging the school's "student" newspaper, looked for any little thing to drive it down into the ground. No matter how many good articles were written, very little was said about them. It was the few articles in which a word was misspelled or misused, or a story in which a reporter was provided the wrong information that professors felt inclined to complain about and

belittled the paper with journalist name calling. But, I never gave up. I felt if I did, I would be no better than those who belittle and name called. Because, if I gave up, I would have been giving in to them. I'm not sure what the future holds for me, but I'm not worried. Mainly because I know that the education I received at this university, both in the classroom and out, has prepared me for what ever obstacles life throws into my path. So, I bid good-bye to my years at UCO, my job at The Vista. and to all those who have read my articles over the past year. As Bob Hope would say, "Thanks for the memories." Until we meet again in words, God bless. C'est la vie!

Philosophy, Humanities offers 10 non-traditional courses By Zach Anderson

Stafflitlier ired of taking the same old courses to fill those humanities and philosophy requirements? Thanks to the UCO humanities and philosophy departments, those tedious hours of study may soon be nothing more than a distant memory. The humanities and philosophy departments are currently offering nontraditional courses for fall enrollment, ranging from

studies on folk culture to gothic horror films. "These courses are largely geared toward expanding liberal arts learning," said Dr. Stephen Law, UCO department chairman of philosophy and humanities. "We are attempting to represent the synthesis of all of the various subsets of liberal arts. A student may be interested in a humanities course coming from history, or from art, or from music, so we have offerings that try to be synthetic in their presentation so you have art, literature, STUDENT SPECIALS

They can see where the things they are interested in fit in the over all humanities and philosophy picture," Law said. Currently, there are 10 nontraditional studies humanities courses being offered and five philosophy courses. In the humanities department, classes being offered include: Classical Humanities, American Humanities, Folk Culture, Greece and Rome at War, History of Film, The Crusades, Women: 1870-1938, Aztec & Maya, Gothic Horror Films, and Women, Witches, and Religion.

poem. "It's an important course because it is probably the most sophisticated of the cultural areas on the North American continent," said Dr. Margaret Flansburg, professor of humanities and philosophy. "This course will help students to understand how important the culture of these tribes is to America's heritage. It helps students to put their own cultures into better perspectives." Gothic Horror Films will focus on the macabre world of the gothic genre, focusing on gothic tales from the 19th century to classic films of the 20th century. Women, Witches, and Religion will asses one of the darker sides of Western civilization: the persecution of women as witches. The course will investigate the background one of the most horrific phenomenon to take place in American history. The philosophy department will also be offering students its own colorful palette of class choices. Courses being offered by the philosophy department include Hindu Philosophy, Philosophical Greek, History of Philosophy, Theory of Knowledge, and Language and

Mind. Hindu Philosophy will introduce the ideas behind one of the world's largest religions. Philosophical Greek, which is also listed as a foreign language course, will aid students in learning basic Greek grammar and syntax. History of Philosophy will study the complexity of critical questions within society. Theory of Knowledge will deal with epistemology, the question of how we acquire knowledge and what constitutes true knowledge. The course will provide a comprehensive analysis of epistemic problems and proposed solutions. Language and Mind will study how language information is processed in the mind. The course has an emphasis on philosophy and psychology. The philosophy and humanities faculty hope that students will remember these courses when making enrollment decisions for the fall.

Journalist puts year in perspective J

ournalists have reputations; most are not fit to print in this publication. Over the course of this year I have learned that the true sense of the word journalist has become an obsession. There is nothing more exciting than watching a person's face when they read your words. Sometimes the sheer surprise of my absolute boldness causes wide eyes and deep gasps. There are times when eyes mist and cheeks blush with concern or unexpected understanding. As college students we get so involved in our own lives that we are taken aback by situations that plague others, especially when we realize it can happen to us. The dreams we dream daily meander through a labyrinth of

shortcomings and uncertainties. We freak out if something stands in our way. I know this. I am the true control freak. My life is my destiny. Nothing has the power to foil my plans but me. Lately, I have learned to relax. I realize that life is more than 8 o'clock classes, oral presentations and 15-minute deadlines. I have a story to tell. That story must grace the eyes of my audience through letters strung together into articles. It is like a sort of teamwork. The letters, with no meaning alone, string to words, with a bit more meaning. Sentences convey ideas, and paragraphs prove points. The Story can change lives. I have a duty to my audience. I must be concise, understanding and sensitive. I learned the sensitivity through

By J.W. Reagor

layout/Design my duties as sports editor. I tasted tears for the first time listening to a coach address his team. As a reporter I took a deep breath and held it in. Sometimes I think I should have let them flow like wine. I watched records fall by the wayside as dedicated athletes scripted their names on the

pages of UCO history. I survived a news room. I endured through three editorsin- chief, three copy editors and three managing editors. Religiously, The Vista arrived on the newsstand each publication date. There were many sleepless nights and a few trips to Applebee's. Trust me, happy hour is the best. On more than one occasion, I considered giving all of this up. It did not seem worth the heartache and stress that it caused in my life. Then people like Paul Parent, Gary Howard, Jill Kelsey, Alton Lusk, and Terry Clark praised my efforts. People that I look to for inspiration actually noticed my work. That alone is enough to make me evaluate my position in life. I gained a new respect for the Greek system. I realized their purposes and their absolute dedication to unconditionality. A sort of family connection that most college students lose sight of. There is sense of connection rivaled only by best friends. Then there was Mr. UCO. I take my hat off to Travis Tidwell. He is a dedicated friend and a talented performer. He is

also a promising Engineering student. Funny how life takes turns on you. I thought I was going to be a famous vocalist. I thought Travis would be dancing across a Broadway stage. I never thought he would be on the stage with me as part of a scholarship competition. I did expect him to beat me. First runner up isn't bad. All of the gentlemen in the competition would have been fine representatives of this university. We had fun and we got along as if we were high school running buddies. Tension was non-existent. This year blessed me with some awesome friends. The Vista staff, the Athletic department, and professors in the Journalism department. I guess the simple truth is this. Through your college career you have several people that tell stories. Some you believe half of, some you believe very little and some you just dismiss. What you take out of it is a new and exciting understanding of self. This year hasn't been bad. When all else fails just think... it can only get better.
