doctored under former coach Jim Seward, and a more conservative approach to the game clock. Reducing turnovers and stressing defensive rebounding were two factors Evans singled out as weak areas in which he hopes to coach the basketball team. "It's the oppoitunity of a lifetime to be head coach at the college level. For me, coaching basketball is like being an entrepreneur. It's tough to have your own business and then go work for someone else," Evans said. Evans mentioned recruitment as a cornerstone in reestablishing UCO basketball as a Division II powerhouse. He believes his strong relationship with in-state coaches will help build a stronger Oklahoma-based recruiting class. "Kids not only choose the school, they choose the coach and the system," Evans said.

CO named former Midwest City coach Terry Evans as the new head coach of the men's basketball program in a news conference at Hamilton Field House April 5. Evans, 31, is a former college basketball standout at the University of Oklahoma and was chosen from a field of 41 applicants for the job. Evans said his plans for the team are to focus on tough, smart and aggressiVe performances by his players, both in athletics and education. "My expectations are high for our kids...both on and off the floor," said Evans, who believes good students are more likely to listen to coaching. Evans describes his type of play as "...fast enough to win." Evans said his do-whatever-ittakes game play might combine elements of UCO's highscoring offense previously See COACH, Page 4

he problem with politicians is that at some point they cease being in touch with the common person. Politicians who don't have a regular job and a regular life are far removed from many of the things their constituents have to deal with. The effect is that they cannot effectively represent the people. This perfectly illustrates why the officers of UCOSA should not have faculty parking permits. They are not faculty.

Broadcasting program secures 35 awards at annual ceremony BY LAURA BELLO

Senior Writer

CO's broadcasting program won 35 awards at the Oklahoma Broadcast Education Association (OBEA) annual awards ceremony Feb. 22 in Oklahoma City. The statewide event included nominations from 17 Oklahoma schools and was judged by broadcast professionals. Associate professor of broadcasting Dr. Keith Swezey said the number of awards reveals the quality of the broadcast program at UCO. "This shows the excellence of the program overall," he said. He said UCO's program gives students opportunities to participate in real-world broadcast situations. One example of this includes the nightly newscast, The Edmond Report, which airs on Cox Communications Channel 22 in Edmond. "Students are involved in one capacity or another in the production," he said. The Edmond Report placed first, second and third in the Newscast Category. Senior Broadcasting student

Jared Broyles anchors on The Edmond Report three times a week. He said UCO's program is different from other schools because their broadcasts are live as opposed to taped programs. He began his schooling at Oklahoma Baptist University and transferred to UCO. "It was like night and day. It doesn't even compare to UCO and the experience we get here," he said. Broyles said that even though UCO is not as well funded as OU or OSU, the OBEA awards PHOTO BY ELISE CARR prove that UCO has an Communications instructors Julie Corff and excellent program.

Starters Jessica Kirby, Jennifer Chavira, and reliever Falon Barnes all saw action in the doubleheader while dominating the pitcher's circle. "Our three pitchers really took care of things out there and they all did a great job for us today," said coach Genny Honea. "Anytime you can go on the road and sweep a doubleheader you've got to be happy and I'm proud of the way we played today."

Pitching key to softball success BY DARA LAWLESS

Sports Writer

n the Lone Star Conference North Division preseason poll, UCO softball was picked to finish four out of the six teams. Despite those predictions the Bronchos have overcome the odds and look to become tough postseason contenders. As of April 1, UCO ranks second in the LSC North Division softball standings and holds the best overall winning percentage outside of the conference. Most impressive of UCO's accomplishments so far this season is the fact that their team pitching is No. 1 in the Lone Star Conference with a low 1.58 ERA. Leading the star studded Broncho rotation, is Jessica Kirby who ranks third of all LSC Division II hurlers with a 1.35 ERA and 68 strikeouts. So far this season batters have only

managed to hit a minute .199 average against her. Senior transfer, Jennifer Chavira stands beside Kirby among LSC leaders. She ranks fifth with a 1.71 ERA and third in strikeouts averaging almost 11 K's per game. To complete the rock solid pitching staff is reliever Falon Barnes who ranks in the top ten in saves and maintains a1.99 ERA. These three pitchers combined represent an imposing force that makes UCO a fearsome thing for opposing batters to face. April Ferrall has been brilliant this season with a .416 average that ranks her in the top ten in LSC hitting. She is first with her .831 slugging percentage and second in homeruns with seven. Julie Cyr, batting .354, is tied at third in the LSC with 12 doubles and is ranked in the top ten in RBIs. See SOFTBALL, Page 7

SPORTS Bronchos extend streak to 14 wins BY DARA LAWLESS

Sports Writer

roncho baseball added to a 14-game winning streak after a 11-10 victory over Northeastern at home April 6. UCO came back from a six run deficit against the Red Men when they combined a startling seventh inning offensive blast and a well pitched relief game from Anthony Reed. "This group finds ways to win even when things don't look good," commented UCO head coach Wendall Simmons. "We came up with some clutch hits in the seventh to get back in it and Reed threw the ball well in the clutch for us." In this close to four hour, extra inning game, the majority of the excitement came during the Broncho's rally in the seventh. The bottom of the seventh found UCO down 10-4, but not for

long. John Rogers and Mike Hill began rejuvenating the Bronchos with consecutive singles. Jon Bliott then loaded the bases on a fielder's choice. Travis Davidson found a gap in leftcenter for a three run double that suddenly put the Bronchos back in the ballgame 10-7. Bryan Coy grounded out for the first out but advanced Davidson to PHOTO SERVICES third. Barrett Junior John Rogers tries to make a play during the Whitney scored Bronchos rain-drenched 11-10 extra inning win.

Davidson on a double down the left field line making it 10-8. Rothy Briggs displayed heads-up base running when he singled and moved to second on the late throw to the plate that scored Whitney. Briggs took third on a wild pitch while Justin Carroll and John Rogers loaded the bases again. NSU pitching choked on a 3-2 pitch to Hill and walked in the tying run. The eighth and ninth innings were silent which put the game into an extra inning. The Red Men singled in their half of the tenth and a sacrifice bunt put the runner

on second. UCO snuffed out Northeastern's hope when Davidson caught the runner stealing and Reed struck out the next batter. Rogers led off once more with a single and was advanced to second on a sacrifice. Rogers found his way haphazardly home when the right fielder tried and failed to gun him down at third off of Davidson's fly out. The No. 5 ranked Bronchos improved to 33-4 on the season and 12-1 in the Lonestar Conference North Division. •

SOFTBALL: New predictions are conditional continued from page 6 The Bronchos suit up six players batting over .300 and carry a decent fielding percentage of .942.

can hold together in the field to back up their pitchers and the batting can kick it up a notch, the Bronchos could be making a very serious run in the postseason. UCO will test their mettle against the No. 1 Southeastern Savages in a battle for the LSC North Division top spot April 16th. •

Roberta Sloan said this is a great opportunity for students to learn about the movie business. "We are just- thrilled that she said yes when we asked her to come," Sloan said. Sloan credits the Dean of College of Arts, Media and Design Christopher Markwood for being supportive of the department's effort to bring in talents. Kathleen McGill graduated from the University of Michigan with a master degree in theater, and started in the finance side of the film industry, said professor McGill. "I think she will be able to give students a realistic portrayal of

what it's like to be in the movie business," he said. Professor McGill said he is proud of his little sister. "What I admire about her is how thorough her knowledge is about the business," professor McGill said. "She knows when she's being told the truth, or when she's being lied to," he said. Kathleen McGill said she was thrilled when A Beautiful Mind won four Oscars in March. "I wasn't there at the ceremony, but I certainly was watching," she said. McGill's other production credits includes the TV series

"ED," and films like Apollo 13 and Center Stage. "I can't wait to meet the students there and find out what their interests are," Kathleen McGill said. She hopes to encourage students who wants to get into the movie business, Kathleen McGill said. "We can always use some more talented people," she said. A separate lecture will be at 3 p.m. April 12 in Room 205 of the Communications Building. Both sessions are free and open to the public. For more information, call 9745511. •

PERMITS: UCOSA parking perk evokes mixed feelings from students continued from page 3 We felt as a whole it wasn't right to use the permits after the bill did not pass that would benefit the students and help the parking problems," Harris said. Current UCOSA president pro-tempore Jason Vaughn said the officers having the permit is a privilege and necessity rather than a perk that comes along with the office. "I don't consider us a typical student organization, because we

represent every student organization on campus. Because of the nature of the work we do, I feel like student government officers should be allowed faculty staff permits. We work our required hours, but there are some times we are here close to 40 hours serving the students," Vaughn said.

Smoke instigates cafeteria evacuation BY STEPHANIE NEASE

We couldn't see what was burning. Apparently the smoke just built up in the room until we opened the door," Kane said. She closed the door immediately and called the campus emergency number. Robert Nall, director of the physical plant said, "The smoke was caused by the rubber coating on some wires burning." The incident left a twoinch-thick bundle of wires blackened and wrapped in melted plastic coating.

moke poured from a room in the Central Cafeteria, prompting cafeteria assistant manager Lyn Kane to call UCO police for help at about 12:45 p.m. March 31 as students gathered for lunch. Fire trucks arrived, police evacuated the building, and yellow-clad firefighters with gas masks entered to search out the smoke's source. Firefighters found sparks coming from an electrical panel in the mop room, said Ben White, Edmond fire department battalion chief. Around 1 p.m., firefighters successfully turned off the panel, which blacked out some parts of the building, and police notified maintenance.

SMOKE: Incident blamed on loose screw; no major problems found continued from page 11 Nall told Kane the sink and the wet mops should be moved away from the vicinity of the electrical box, which is in the mop room, a closet-size cubicle. He said he saw no indication water had caused the incident. An hour was spent waiting for word from the electrician

inspecting the damage. If a severe problem was found, food service might have to be moved to Nigh University Center, Kane said. "The last time that happened," Kane said, "it was just before Christmas and it was really chaotic because there were a lot of banquets going on in the center,

so our people and their people were having to work around each other trying to get their jobs done." When word finally came, it was good news — the electrician found no major problem, Kane said. Nall said, "Ultimately the

problem was a loose screw. They work themselves loose because of the vibrations — it's the nature of electricity." This caused a loose wire, which vibrated and sparked. The sparks burned the rubber coating, which caused the smoke, he said. "A plaque on the building says

OSU crash victim fund tops $700 thousand FROM WIRE REPORTS

Associated Press STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — More than $700,000 has been donated to scholarship funds created after the Oklahoma State University plane crash, university officials said. Wayne King, senior vice president for development for the OSU Foundation, said 1,811 people have donated $706,017 toward the scholarship funds. Twelve scholarship funds have been established: 10 in the names of the crash victims; a men's basketball memorial fund and an education fund for dependents and siblings of the victims, King said. Both pilots, two players and six other men associated with the university were killed Jan. 27, 2001, when their plane crashed in a field near Strasburg, Colo. A memorial to the victims was dedicated at the site in August. Earlier this year, a memorial was dedicated at Gallagher-Iba Arena. Killed were publicist Will

Hancock, players Nate Fleming and Dan Lawson, student assistant Jared Weiberg, trainer Brian Luinstra, radio play-byplay announcer Bill Teegins and engineer Kendall Durfey, pilots Denver Mills and Bjorn Fahlstrom, and director of basketball operations Pat Noyes. King said most of the donations to the scholarship funds came about sik to eight months after the crash. Much of the scholarship money will be awarded for the 2002-2003 school year, though some scholarships already have been awarded, King said. Families are given the opportunity to decide which college, campus or program receives the scholarship. Some families have not decided upon a scholarship designation, King said. A final report on the cause of the crash is expected this spring from the National Transportation Safety Board. Anyone wanting to make a donation can the OSU Foundation-at (405) 385-5151-. •

Students postpone graduate school for work experience BY ANGELA TURNER

Associated Press ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — In this shaky economy and uncertain job market, some graduating college students in New Mexico are latching onto any work experience they can, putting off earning an advanced degree that could help them down the road. Roseanne Bensley, associate director of New Mexico State Univerity's Career Placement Center, said work experience attracts employers, who often have more applicants than job offers "They're expecting a higher standard in the quality of the students than they may have in the past," she said. "They're being more selective. Sears recruiter Dave Favela said while the company requires a degree for management positions, years of education don't make up for some applicants' lack of people

skills. international management. "The "They're book smart, but they pay range for bachelor's and fall a bit short in life experience master's is very different. I want and practical experience," he said to be competitive in the market." at a job fair at the University of Yolanda Fortune, who New Mexico earlier this year. represented the Bureau of Prisons He said Sears in Phoenix at the looks for people who UNM career fair, are good "They're book didn't have a degree communicators, when she advanced smart, but they flexible, mobile and from a counselor's goal-oriented for the assistant to a counselor fall a bit short in credit department's at a prison. $34,000 -a-year life experience "I think long-term management trainee experience in any field and practical program. would be equivalent to UNM graduate a degree," she said. experience."

"They will help you obtain "I was thinking about the your graduate degree, but they money," he said of his pursuit of a want you to get your experience master's in economics and at the same time — it's

rewarding," he said. An advanced degree would factor in at Wells Fargo only if two applicants were equal in sales experience and personality, said Pedro Marsical, a manager at an Albuquerque branch. "It's more of a personality that we're looking for rather than a type of major," he said. "We have all degrees and all majors working for us and doing well." But in the health care field, the difference between a bachelor's and masteris can be several thousand dollars. A direct-care position with Devereux Cleo Wallace, a children's group home in Colorado Springs, Colo., requires a bachelor's degree and pays $19,000 to $20,000 annually, said Eliza Marquez, supervisor of staff training and resources. Working on the clinical side with children requires a master's and yields about a $27,000

starting salary, she said. Marquez said the vision of the company, which has 19 facilities nationwide, draws applicants more than the pay. "The majority of the people in the psychology field, they're there for the kids and not the money," Marquez said. For Rachel Chaparro, 22, who graduates from UNM this summer, getting a job is her primary focus. "Right now, I'm looking at getting stable," she said. "I'd rather start working for a while and maybe down the road" earn an advanced degree. A bachelor's and work experience can take a person far, said recent University of New Mexico graduate Jessica Deuel.

Christian school confiscates magazines FROM WIRE REPORTS

Associated Press

EARCY, Ark. (AP)- â&#x20AC;&#x201D; At Harding University, senior Heather Gray got a yellow slip in her mailbox, saying her Cosmopolitan magazine was returned to the publisher. "I'm 22 and will graduate in six weeks," Gray said. "I understand its a Christian environment, but this is almost too far." Students know when they enroll in the Church of Christ college that they aren't allowed to receive pornography. But some question whether Harding officials have gone overboard, and their concerns have prompted the school to back off for now. At a chapel meeting of the student body last week, school president David Burks told students the college would no longer withhold their magazines. He declined to comment specifically on the policy.

A new student handbook due in July will have a revised policy on publications. By then, administrators expect to have decided what the new practice will be with regard to magazine subscriptions. In February, free copies of the men's magazine Maxim were sent to students. Much of the content related to sexual matters, said Harding spokesman David Crouch, and some parents and students complained. University officials began taking a closer look at all the magazines that passed through campus mail and started returning publications they thought inappropriate, Crouch said. Besides Cosmopolitan and Maxim, other publications intercepted before reaching students included Rolling Stone and catalogs from Victoria's Secret, students said. Many students support the university's practice. They say

the private college has a right to monitor student mail and university administrators are capable of deciding what students shouldn't see. "I think this is good," said Steve.Cloer, Harding's student association president. "Here at Harding, you come for a Christian environment. I think magazines like that don't contribute to a Christian environment." Gray said when she got her yellow slip about three weeks ago, she went to the campus mailroom to find ,out why. She said she was told a university board was reviewing magazines and drafted a list of publications deemed inappropriate for students. But Crouch said the university made no list of offensive publications. He conceded, though, that the school made mistakes by refusing to distribute some magazines. â&#x20AC;˘
