Dr. Terry Clark, the chairman of the journalism department, said that since he has been at UCO, he has never seen anything like the recent rash of thefts from the Communications Building. On April 2, someone stole a scanner and slide adapter from Room 215. On March 15, someone stole a digital camera from the Bronze Book office across the hall from Room 215. The cost of stolen equipment from all three thefts is around $2,500, Clark said. "I've been here a long time, and we have rarely had [a theft]. We treat our students as professionals and they act responsibly," he said.
or the third time in less than six weeks, property was stolen from the Communications Building at UCO. About 11 a.m. April 23, staff reported computer equipment missing from Room 215, the computer lab. Lab supervisor Kelly Jorgenson said the theft has rendered useless half the Macintosh computers available to students in the Communications Building. J.W. McBee, a junior general journalism major said, "For one of the only two labs [on ' campus] that use Macintosh, it's a shame it's See THEFTS, Page 9 — been half disabled."

Librarian corrects Lexis-Nexis statement
I
am happy to see the new Lexis-Nexis databases discussed in last week's (April 18) paper, but please clarify one misstatement: Lexis-Nexis is not a substitute for other library databases. It complements indexes in EBSCOHost, FirstSearch, and SilverPlatter. The addition of full-text law materials, business data, statistics, in-depth news and broadcast transcripts through Lexis-Nexis gives students and faculty access to up-todate_ information previously not available to them. However, scholarly literature is still found primarily through sources such as EBSCOHost's Academic Search,
Business Source, Basic BIOSIS, or FirstSearch's MLA, Psyclnfo, and other subject-specific databases. Lexis-Nexis is not a substitute for any of these important resources. Last year the Oklahoma Library Technology Network, a state-funded organization that provides databases to Oklahoma libraries, contracted with EBSCOHost to give free access to everyone in Oklahoma. Since we already had a contract with EBSCOHost, we were able to reallocate that money to LexisNexis. It will be evaluated annually along with all other subscriptions based on use
and feedback from the campus community. Since July 2001, 450,000 searches have been executed via the library databases. Obviously, students are making good use of the library in this way. If anyone has questions about the differences in various resources and the complexities of searching, please ask a Reference librarian. We're available in person, by phone at 974-2878 or by email at reference@ucok.edu . Jane Taylor Head Reference Librarian, Max Chambers Library

rish filmmaker Trish McAdam is flying to America to publicly screen her new documentary April 30 at 7 p.m. in Room 120 of UCO's Communications Building. The documentary, entitled Hoodwinked, discusses the role of women in Ireland and how it has changed since 1920. McAdam is best known for her 1996 film, Snakes and Ladders. The film depicts two female street performers in their late twenties struggling to maintain their friendship despite toil in their personal lives. McAdam will show Snakes and Ladders at Meacham Auditorium in the University of Oklahoma's (OU) Memorial Union building at 7 p.m. on April 29. John Springer, assistant professor of English and director of UCO's film studies minor, invited McAdam to introduce her film and hold a question-and-answer session after its screening.

entral Oklahoma baseball suffered a major upset after the Tarleton State Texans defeated the North Division champions 9-4 in an elimination game of the LSC Baseball Championship April 26. To say the Bronchos failed to showcase a championship caliber play in the tournament is the collegiate sports world's understatement of the year. A respected UCO pitching staff was battered for 42 mind-boggling hits, the defense cracked giving up 11 errors, and at least 24 runners were left stranded in the two loss, one win showing. "We didn't have a good tournament, it's as simple as that. We didn't pitch very well, we certainly didn't play any defense and we left too many runners on base," simply stated UCO head coach Wendall Simmons. UCO pitching gave up a season high 18 hits in a first round faceoff against Tarleton. It was no surprise that the Bronchos never led in the contest as they stranded 12 men in the Texans' 12-4 rout.

CO softball finished the Lone Star Conference Softball Championship in second place behind Texas A&M Kingsville after the Javelinas took the title with a 5-0 victory over the Bronchos April 27. The Bronchos beat Eastern New Mexico in the first round, advanced to defeat nationally ranked Texas Woman's, but suffered their first lost against Texas A&M. After eliminating TWU in the loser's bracket, UCO women needed two wins against the Javelinas to take the LSC title, but came up a hair short. "We came down here with the goal of wining the tournament and came up short, but I'm proud of the way we battled," said UCO coach Genny Honea. "We beat a nationally ranked team twice and had a chance in the finals until the last inning." In the first round of the tourney, UCO pitchers Jessica Kirby and Jennifer Chavira combined to allow only three ENMU hits in the Broncho's 4-2 win. The real battle took place in the second round against No. 15 ranked Texas Woman's where the big bat of April Ferrall staged a come-from-behind win. Behind 4-1, Ferrall smashed a

entral Oklahoma captured the Lone Star Conference golf championship with a 54-hole score of 870 over the defending champion Cameron Aggies' 880 at Garland, TX April 23. Cameron took control early with a blistering eight shot lead on the front nine, before UCO came back on the final nine and finished the final round with a two-shot lead. "Cameron got off to a great start and it looked like they were going to blow right by us for awhile, but our guys didn't panic and we stayed consistent," said UCO head coach Dax Johnston. Matt Norgaard's one-under-par 70 led the team to its victory with help from Dan Drake and Todd Dayton's one-over 72 scores. Chris Starke rebounded from a harsh triple bogey to nail four straight birdies and finish at 74. Drake and Dayton tied for fourth in individual play and earned first team All-LSC honors. Norgaard ranked sixth and took second team All-LSC honors.

he looming clouds didn't scare away devoted World Within participants. As 4
p.m. rolled around, so did the sunshine, just in time for the World Within Reunion Picnic April 23. Over 300 people attended the event. Participants stood in line while light conversation murmured
over the sounds of music being played. Vendors donated bread, brisket, coleslaw, potatoes and soda pop. Participants were assigned specific tables to sit at so they could meet new people. The tables formed two circles and were covered in blue, green, red, and yellow tablecloths.

A few students attempted to fly people's food. Before he handed over the microphone, he added with a grin, "One thing family picnics don't need are speeches." The fun began as community sponsor Mark Neighbors playfully tossed a water balloon, which was aimed at President Webb. The participants were divided into four teams according to their tables. An old-fashioned game of tug of war began. About 30 participants on either side of the rope attempted to bring down the other side. Participants were then asked to stand and dance to the Hokey Pokey led by Dr. Kathryn Gage, Dr. Ronald Paddack and Sandy Franklin.

Where in the world is that cache? GPS owners play hide and seek with location devices BY JERA STONE
Staff Wri ter
rushing the leaves on the ground and brushing aside the low tree branches, Wesley Horton stops and checks the handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) device and a compass in his hands. "We are close, but not quite there yet," Horton said. Horton, a registered nurse, is standing in a wooded area off Bryant Avenue and Kickingbird Road in Edmond. In this April afternoon, grass and leaves are green and the dirt is slightly damp. Horton is hunting for treasures

with fellow GPS device owner, John Wood. They call it Geocaching, pronounced "Jee-O-Cash-ing." Geocaching works when GPS device owners post the longitude and latitude of the caches they've hidden in various places on a website for other geocachers to find. Horton checks his GPS, into which he has entered the coordinates he gets off the website for this cache. This particular cache is named "Moonshine" after a sealed letter hanging on a nearby tree by an unknown person in memory of a beloved Labrador.
Call us today at 341-7987 or visit as at 930 S. Boulevard
"Sometimes you can look at the path and see where people have trotted," Horton said, looking around him. Wood, a computer system operation specialist, smiles but doesn't help Horton. Wood knows the exact location of the Moonshine cache because he put it there. "I started doing this with some friends for a couple of months last year before I bought one of my own GPS," Wood said. Wood looks to the direction of a nearby apartment complex where some UCO students reside. "All those people living there, yet they have no idea this is here," Wood said. Horton said the sport started in 2000 when the U.S. government stopped scrambling Global Positibning Satellite signals, thus enabling the civilians to pinpoint locations to within a few feet with the GPS systems. "Some guy stashed a cache and posted the coordinates in a newsgroup," Horton said. The guy is David Ulmer of Portland, Oregon, and the cache was 'located at N. 45 17 460 and W. 122 24 800, Horton said.

Wesley Horton arranges some items he found while geocaching — a game in which Global Positioning System (GPS) users play a sort of hide and seek with various items.
Horton and Wood said. "There are people geocaching all over the place, it's turned into a worldwide endeavor," Horton said. Recent status on www.geocaching.com shows 16,935 active caches in 119 countries. Caches are graded by geocachers that have found them, Horton and Wood said. "For some of the really tough ones, you can decode the hints
they give you on the website," Wood said. . Horton said most caches have medium difficulties. "A lot of people take the whole family geocaching, so we don't want them to be too difficult," Horton said. They have, however, heard of caches underwater or in strange places like up a water tower and inside a drainage ditch, Horton and Wood said.

resting on an opposite table, "It's in my college and I deal with a lot of people I know. There's no stress. All of my customers are nice and we're all here getting educated together." Todd Nixon, retail operations manager for Chartwells Dining Service, manages 55 employees working in the Nigh University Center's food court, Lakeside Cafe, the convenience store and the two table vending locations. Regarding the ceasing of table vendors he said, "We haven't made a decision fully." Nixon said the student vendors sell the same items the vending machines sell, and that they had no conflict with the exclusive nature of UCO's campuswide Coca-Cola vending contract.
Nixon declined to say how much profit the vendors were grossing for the company. He said Jinini will graduate in May and said Cintapalli will get transferred to a different position with Dining Services if the tables are shut down. Cintapalli said, "If it's cold outside or people don't have time in-between classes to go to the food court, they can come here and grab a snack." Harvey Mainkins, sociology freshman, said of Cintapalli, "They ought to keep him around. This guy knows all of his regular customers and they all know him." Chartwells Dining Service is the second largest university dining service in the U.S. and the largest worldwide. •

Highlander DVD 'is still the best'
16th century Scottish swordsman who runs an antique shop is facing his mortal enemy in the 20th century. That may not sound too creative, but add the fact that both are immortals that have lived hundreds of years and it becomes an intriguingly original idea. In fact, the idea from film student Gregory Widen's senior thesis has spawned four feature films, two TV series, one animation series and millions of adoring fans around the world since 1986. As the tag line for Highlander says, "there can be only one." The recent release of the Highlander: The Immortal Edition DVD reminds fans of the mythological tale that the original film that started it all is still the best. The film is directed by Russell Mulcahy, who prior to this film directed mostly music videos for the likes of Elton John and Duran Duran. Christopher Lambert (Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of The Apes, Mortal
A
Kambat) is the New York antique shop owner who calls himself Russell Nash. The police have been puzzled by a series of deaths in which the victims' heads were severed. Brenda (Roxanne Hart), the forensics expert who has written a book on medieval sword making, is intrigued when she finds a rare sword at one of the crime scenes. The hunt leads her to Nash, who denies any knowledge of what Brenda seeks yet can't explain away a manic man who is trying to kill him with a gigantic sword. Nash's real name is Connor MacLeod. He's an immortal who has lived more than 400 years. The only way to kill him is for another immortal to sever his head with a sword. When an immortal kills another immortal, he will receive all knowledge and strength the dead has ever possessed. And that is why MacLeod has to face Kurgan (Clancy Brown), an immortal who would like more than anything to kill all other immortals so he may have all the power in the universe. The film didn't gamer its cult status until long after the theatrical release. For some reason, the American audience didn't get the uncut version that the European audience watched in the theater.
ATTENTION STUDENTS! What professor here at UCO has really impacted you --helped you??? You can honor that person by nominating him/her for the Dordick Outstanding Mentor Award. Please stop by EVANS HALL 101 to pick up a nomination form. Must be turned in to UCO Foundation by May 6. Award; Professor. $500.00 Student: $50.00
This special edition DVD, which includes the uncut version, gives the audience a more comprehensive story and explains a lot of things such as the relationship between MacLeod and the woman working in his antique shop. The character of MacLeod has always been fascinating to me since I first saw this film. Lambert's trademark intense gaze brings to the screen MacLeod's pain. This was Lambert's first film in English and it is quite true that he does better acting with his actions and expressions than words. For Sean Connery fans, this might be the only movie in which you will see him wearing an earring. Connery gives a fun and somewhat flamboyant performance as the Egyptian/Spaniard mentor who taught MacLeod sword fighting and about being an immortal. The script by Widen, Peter Bellwood and Larry Ferguson develops the character MacLeod quite well. The audience can see that being an immortal is a curse to him because he has to outlive everyone he has ever loved. The commentary track on the

Highlander: The Immortal Edition DVD features uncut scenes, still photographs, music videos by Queen and an additional CD with three extra songs by Queen.
DVD is pretty standard though it does give some insight into what the filming process was like in each scene. The video and audio quality on this DVD has improved compared to previous editions but is still not spectacular. The audio mix especially leaves much to be desired. I like Queen's music as much as the next person, but I don't appreciate it when I can barely hear the lines. The DVD also includes some
still photos, three of Queen's music videos and an additional CD with three songs by Queen. One thing I do have to mention is the packaging of this DVD. It is one of the more stylish ones I've seen with its metallic box with embossed letters that is fit to be displayed as a piece of artwork •

know that to have Jolie in a film without utilizing her dazzling wildness would be a waste. The performance of "Satisfaction" has trademark Jolie written all over it. Jolie, though she gives a decent and subtle performance, just doesn't seem too comfortable with the character of Lanie. The platinum blond hair on her looks so bad that it's distracting. Burns, one of my favorite multi-talented actors, is the saving grace of this film. He is witty, sarcastic, stubborn and vulnerable. He made Pete an interesting character with what little he has to work with. Shalhoub, who would probably forever be cast in somewhat comical roles, was not given the chance to explore the character of Prophet Jack. That is a pity because so many possibilities could have come from it. Stockard Channing has a small role as a famous and skilled interviewer that Lanie strives to be like. I'd have to say that Channing outshined Jolie in their short scene together. Walking out of the theater, I didn't get any satisfaction from the film, but it's great to have that Rolling Stones song in my head for days. •

The College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, Va., had "strongly discouraged" such relationships until last November, when it banned affairs between professors and all undergraduates, and graduate students whom professors supervise. "With a 12-to-1 student-faculty ratio, we put a great emphasis on student-faculty academic relationships and wanted to clarify what was outside the bounds of appropriate behavior," university spokesman Bill Walker said. The faculty at Ball State, in Muncie, Ind., has been trying to decide how strong a statement it should make when it votes on a policy next month. "We're trying to find an appropriate way to acknowledge this kind of relationship without being overly intrusive," said John W. Emert, chairman of the University Senate. Virginia Lee Stamler, an Iowa City, Iowa, psychologist who cowrote a book called "FacultyStudent Sexual Involvement," said colleges reacted to court decisions in the 1980s and '90s that schools were responsible for protecting students. Administrators began adopting the policies to protect schools from lawsuits and students from bias and
exploitation, she said. "These relationships destroy the educational environment," Stamler said. "They are detrimental to students." That's not always the case, said Jane Gallop, a professor of English and comparative literature at the University of WisconsinMilwaukee. Gallop had affairs with professors while she was a graduate student in 1974. As a 27-year-old professor, she had a yearlong romance with a 29-year-old student. She said it's illogical to ban all romances simply because some could become exploitative. "There are two ways of looking at college students — treat them as children or treat them as adults," said Gallop, 49, who no longer dates students. "The policies don't distinguish between relations that students want and relations that students don't want." Barry Dank, an emeritus professor of sociology at California State University-Long Beach, said such policies violate privacy and don't work. "When it comes to matters of the heart, bureaucracy is not going to help matters," said Dank, 60, who met his wife, Henrietta, 62, four years ago when she was one of
his students. They dated for a year and a half. The university discourages such relationships, but the Danks said their supervisors never voiced objections. •
