Campus housing has been experiencing rapid staff changes recently, but according to residents and resident assistants (RAs), dorm life is running more smoothly than ever. Residence Life lost staff members Greg Stewart and Andrew Naylor to out-of-state moves and Janice Ruffin to a new position in the Multicultural Center. Their departures have forced several position changes within the department and have left some still vacant. "The assistant director of residence life and Murdaugh Hall coordinator jobs are open and there's no East Hall Coordinator yet. Todd Duncan [director of residence life] will fill the position until someone's hired," said Dawniel Carlock, Murdaugh Hall RA. Residents and RAs agree that the staff has adapted well to the shake-ups.
"It's running smoothly so far. I haven't noticed any changes," said Mindy Orgain, freshman business management student and second year West Hall resident. For East Hall RAs Jeff Coleman and Wyatt Worden, this year has been easier than the last. "Everything's running smooth as clockwork. There's more teamwork and better organization this year," Coleman said. "I've had no complaints so far. I actually had more problems last year," Worden said.

UCO department gets new name
Part of the herd

BY SARAH DA
Staff Writer
ue to recent trends in business and industry, the UCO Department of Decision Sciences has implemented a new name. The department changed its name to the Department of Information Systems and Operations Management beginning this semester. "The new name relates to the subjects taught in the department," said Dr. Saba Bahouth, department chair. A bachelor's degree of business administration in management information systems (MIS) and a bachelor's degree of business administration in operations management and analysis are the two degree options the Dr. Saba Bahouth department offers. "The revised programs are well-integrated and put into application the strategic relationship that exists between operations and information," Dr. Bahouth said. According to Bahouth, the Business Statistics class that was taught under the department will now be taught by the economics department. Over 700 students are enrolled in the Information Systems and Operations Management program and 250 students graduate from the department annually. Students are likely to find jobs after graduation because of popular technology firm internships, Bahouth said. "The paid internships are given to students by 15 to 20 local firms," Bahouth said. •

Concert to feature romantic piano at Mitchell Hall BY MENA GANESAN Staff Writer
The Chopin Society of MidAmerica will open their Central Oklahoma Concert Series 2000-2001 season Saturday, Aug. 26 with a performance featuring Ning An, winner of the Sixth American National Chopin Society Piano Competition. "The concert series was founded in 1985 by Jan Steele to give the community the opportunity to enjoy professional artists in a small, recital
atmosphere," said Patsy Wylie, board member and former president of the Chopin Society of Mid-America. An, presently on a concert tour of the United States after his debut recital at Carnegie Hall in New York, will also appear in a solo recital and as a featured artist with orchestras in New Orleans, Chicago, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Cleveland and El Paso. The Concert Series will also host the Chestnut Street Philadelphia Brass Quintet and prize-winning vocalist, Sergiu Schwartz.
"Many people aren't aware of us even though it is our fifteenth season," said Wylie. "I encourage all students and faculty to attend our concerts, and they will probably get hooked on classics and live music," she said. The concert, scheduled for 8 p.m., will be held in Mitchell Hall Theater. Tickets for the event are $15 for adults. All children accompanied by a ticket-holder and all UCO student with a valid ID will be admitted free. For more information call 3403500. •

Broncho soccer starts 3rd season with one goal in mind BY MARY HALL
Sports Writer aving already built themselves as one of the top teams in the Lone Star Conference after just two years, the Broncho women's soccer team is ready to make history this 2000 season. "The players are working hard, they have great attitudes, and I feel like the mentality is a lot tougher and they really want to do something accomplished this year," said head coach Mike Cook. Seven starters, including the league's Offensive Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year, along with other experienced players return from last year. Cook is also excited about nine freshman recruits. "The freshman that we've recruited are unbelievable players, some of the best players in the state," he said. Cook said he is looking forward to the possibility of four or five freshman starting or playing extensively. The Bronchos had back-to-back

the playoffs
winning seasons in the first two years of the program, following a 119 campaign in 1998 with last year's 13-5-1 finish that saw UCO break into the NCAA Division 11 Top 20. Cook, who came to UCO after a highly-successful tenure at Southern Nazarene, enters the 2000 season with an overall record of 112-36-2, a .755 winning percentage that ranks second in NCAA Division II among active coaches. Cook attributes the success of the program to the players. "In soccer, it's a player's game. We work them hard in practice, but when you get in the game, there's not time out, there's no set plays and you rely on your players," said Cook. When recruiting players, Cook says that he looks for hard working players who want to build something. "That's the thing that I pushed here — let's build a tradition," said Cook. "There's no history here — let's build our own history." Many would say that Cook is building history. UCO is picked to finish third in the LSC this year only after two years of experience.
Stay in Touch!
Cook admits that he does not care about the rankings. He says that the team's number one goal this year is to make it to the playoffs. "We said if we don't make it to the playoffs this year, it will be a total disappointment," said Cook. During the first season, UCO struggled early, losing its first two games and five of the first seven, but secured a winning season with a late five-game winning streak. The Bronchos followed with last year's 13-5-1 campaign, getting off to a 122-1 start and making it into the Division II Top 20 before losing three of their last four games. Cook said he is going to focus and concentrate on the conference games this year. "We play a lot of Division I schools which most schools don't do just to make ourselves better so we can excel in the conference," said Cook. "We want to make the playoffs and see what happens from there." said Cook. The Bronchos will start the 2000 season at home by challenging Metropolitan State at 3 p.m. Friday Aug. 25 at Tom Thompson Field. •

Herrin, Williams receive promotions
A
pair of veteran UCO coaches recently assumed additional duties in marketing and promotions for the UCO athletic department. Mark Herrin, in his 11th year as head volleyball coach, has taken on the role as coordinator of marketing and promotions while women's assistant basketball coach Shawn Williams has been named his assistant. Herrin has directed the Bronchos to a 226-130 record in his 10 years at the helm, with UCO winning the Lone Star Conference title and making its only NCAA Division II national tournament appearance in 1994. UCO has had nine winning seasons under Herrin, including eight straight entering the 2000 season. Williams, a standout guard for the Bronchos during a two-year playing career in the late 1980s, is in her sixth year as the assistant women's basketball coach and has helped UCO post four consecutive winning seasons. "This is a much-needed step for the athletic department and we're lucky to have two outstanding individuals to help market and promote our teams," said UCO athletic director Skip Wagnon. •

Broncho volleyball 'back in the saddle' for new season BY TRACI STARKEY
I
Sports Writer
he 2000 UCO volleyball season gets underway this weekend when the Lady Bronchos host the Sleep Inn Invitational on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 25 and 26, at the Hamilton Field House. The Bronchos are returning four starters and three other letter winners from last year's team which finished third in the North Division of the Lone Star Conference. They are also touting the 1999 North Division Player of the Year, Alma Brahimaj. With all this talent, expectations for the season are high, and the team is looking to contend for the divisions' conference title. "At one time it may have been intimidating to come into a season like this, but we've been here so many times, we've gotten used to it," said Mark Herrin, head coach of
the Bronchos. "We have been picked first or second in the division since 1993." Herrin is entering his 11th year as head coach, with, a 226-130 career record with the Bronchos. He has posted nine winning seasons during his tenure, including the past eight in a row. He was also named LSC Coach of the Year in 1994. He says that the emotional level of the team is good and the chemistry is right. After their first inter-squad scrimmage Aug. 19, he said he was pleased with the intensity and communication of the team. "One thing that I really look at early in the season is just how well we mix with each other, and right now it's happening," said Herrin. He attributes the continued success of his program to the quality of the players. He says that recruiting good, solid players and keeping them is what has made the
Bronchos a consistent championship contender. "We have a great program and great kids; and it's highly competitive," said Herrin. "We just want people on campus to know we're over here, it's a great show, and they should get involved." •
Lexy Fortner prepares to serve during the Bronze-Blue match Aug. 19. Fortner is a sophomore from Edmond and plays outside hitter for the Bronchos. The season starts this weekend when the Bronchos host the Sleep Inn Invitational at the Hamilton Field House.

Cars, clothes and cosmetics: Women pay higher prices
.1
PHOTO BY TSUYOSHI SHIRAISHI
Cherlyn Rooker browses through the women's department at Target. Rooker says she is satisfied with the price and design of Target's clothing selection. According to a recent study, women's items are often priced up to 50 percent more than comparable items in the men's, department.
most women, the fact that they pay more than men for comparable items is pretty obvious. For years, businesses have taken advantage of the perception that women are "natural shoppers" who like to spend money and are not very savvy consumers. The prices we pay are routinely inflated unnecessarily. Products are marketed as "specially-formulated for women" even though they are virtually identical to the product intended for men but priced up to 50 percent more than the men's product. One of the most frustrating consumer experiences for women is buying a car. The salesperson has flexibility on the final cost of a car, so they will naturally try to get as much as they can from any shopper. Studies have shown, however, that dealerships make considerably more profit from women than men. Unfortunately, women are perceived by auto salespeople as unknowledgeable about cars, so they are less likely to be flexible with a female customer. .0
Therefore, women should do some homework before they go shopping. With a phone call to your local bank, you should be able to find the dealer's cost. Start negotiating at about $300 higher than their cost and let them know that you plan to check prices at other dealerships. The dealer should be motivated to offer you a fair price or risk losing the sale altogether. The same principals hold true with auto mechanics. The best way to protect yourself is to find a mechanic recommended by another woman or take your car to a mechanic who has consistently treated you fairly and to no one else. Women also pay more on consumer items such as clothing, shampoo and deodorant. Again, getting a fair price can take a little effort, especially on clothes. Shop around and avoid trendy boutiques and department stores to save money. In reality, a designer-name blouse bought at a mall is no better than the one at the discount store down the street, only more•expensive.
Also, if you know you can get something cheaper at another store, ask the clerk for a reduction in price (it never hurts to ask). For certain types of clothing such as sport shirts, T-shirts and shorts, check out the men's section and you will probably find better prices. Another area where women traditionally pay more than necessary is health care. Women incur some costs, such as maternity, that men will never face but surveys have found that doctors will often order more tests and prescribe more medications for women than they do for men with the same symptoms or illness. Unfortunately, there isn't much women can do to reduce the cost of some services like hairstylists and dry cleaners. Women tend to wear more fragile garments that require a little more care in cleaning and typically, women have longer hair that takes more time to cut, perm and style. However, with a little effort, women can save money. • —From Consumer Credit Counseling Service reports

Eventually, other offices on campus will go online with the system, allowing students to enroll, check out library books and get university paychecks online. In conjunction with Stampede Week, representatives of UCO's
student services office are hosting a contest for students to name the new computer system. Entry forms can be obtained from Room 213 of the Lillard Administration Building and should be returned to Room 424 of the University Center by 4 p.m. Sept. 4. An entry form will also run in the Aug. 29 issue of The Vista. Prizes will be awarded for winning entries, Noftsger said. •

he Paseo District offers one of Oklahoma City's best and least-known restaurants. At Galileo's Bar & Grill, dining is pure pleasure for the taste buds. My dining experience at Galileo's was perfect from beginning to end. Galileo's is easy to find by exiting to the right off Broadway Extension onto 36th St. and then going south on Dewey Street, which turns into Paseo. Plenty of parking is available. Upon entering Galileo's, you'll be greeted by friendly waitstaff who are quick to seat you. Inside dining is always available as well as outside patios in front and back when weather permits. The decor inside Galileo's is eclectic with moziac tiled tabletops, hardwood floors and an enormous, handcrafted, darkstained wood bar stocked with anyone's beverage of choice. Galileo's has a nice selection of beer with several different brews on tap. An extensive wine list is also available. Galileo's, located at 3009 Paseo in OKC, offers something for everyone. Created by Chef Vet Phiasiripanyo, formerly of Nikz at the Top and four other business partners, Galileo's opened in December 1998. For starters, or even for small appetites are appetizers such as fried olives, stuffed gold pepper, pesto potato wedges, spring rolls and pretzel (two pretzels dusted in garlic and spices served with cilantro mustard), which start at about four dollars. My dinner companion and I tried the grilled portabella focaccia which was great. Also on the appetizer menu are a nice selection of dips such as hummus served with grilled pita bread, tapenade which is a black olive, garlic and caper based dip served with grilled pita bread, roasted red pepper dip and sesameeggplant puree. Some of Galileo's soups include potato, poblano chile and corn soup and tortilla, lime and chicken. These range from about $3.50 to $3.95. Salads with fresh romaine lettuce, roma tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and red onion are available and can also be ordered as a wrap

or sandwich. Chicken, turkey or shrimp can be added. King Tut's pyramid (available as a wrap only) sounded good with hummus, grilled eggplant, fresh spinach and roma tomatoes for $6.95. Several pizza selections are offered including the popular Paseo Pizza with mushrooms, bacon and mozzarella cheese served with red or white sauce for $7.95. You can even create your own pizza by combining any ingredients on the menu. For entrees, try any number of the pasta dishes including seafood fettuccini for about $10. I ordered the special for the evening which was a steamed salmon filet wrapped in a banana leaf served on a bed of soba noodles with stirfried vegetables. Presentation was perfect as was my dining companion's KC strip, which was grilled to perfection. Our waitress, Nicky, did a great job making sure we were happy. Dessert items include temptations such as Apple Pie
Sundae and Strawberry LaBomba, which is a concoction of strawberry and amaretto cream enveloped in almond flecked cake. They also have Tiramisu with Kaluha with mascaepone cream and marsala floating atop kaluha cake. Prices range from $3.95 to $4.95 and portions are enough for two people. Galileo's has a nice selection of beer with several different brews on tap. An extensive tequila and wine list is also available. On Tuesday nights, expect an early crowd because Galileo's is closed on Monday. Wednesday night is poetry reading and Thursday is open-mic night for anyone daring enough to perform on stage. Live bands play on Friday and Saturday nights. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. and Sunday, 4 p.m. to midnight. Galileo's is closed on Monday. To—go orders are welcomed.

his is not news. This isn't even an "editorial," in the traditional sense of the word. This is a column. My column, to be precise. I've been allotted this space to blather about whatever I very well please, to the chagrin or delight of The Vista readership. Today, I felt the need to write about the first thing off the top of my head — my haircut. My hair has always been something I've struggled with. I have traditionally kept up a conservative short-to-medium length "do," as is customary for most mild-mannered kids from the suburbs. Whether it be my kitchen barstool look (courtesy of Mom, no doubt) or the ever-popular bowl cut (I think we dubbed it the "skater" in 6th grade), I just never pursued anything longer. Many efforts have been made to change its general appearance since 6th grade; however, most attempts I've made have wound up as nothing more than stylistic hiccups dividing periods of sameness into a group of white-bread epochs. I decided to change my pattern. This past summer, I decided to grow my hair out. That is, until May. Maybe it was pictures of Dad during his college heyday, or the subconscious desire to sport the Tom Cruise/ Mission: Impossible 2 look, but I decided to leave behind my square, anti-hip look in favor of something more rugged, more roguish. For all of my impending coolness, I still looked like a slightly sloppier version of Wally Cleaver. In an attempt to "rough up" my otherwise vanilla appearance, I started shaving with less frequency than before. . I was quite pleased with the way that with every
glance in the mirror, my transformation from "guy" to "dude" was making itself known. 1 would grin at the mental image of myself riding through the Oklahoma cross timbers with my top down and my hair blowing in the summer breeze. Upon the acquisition of an Eagles tape and a jean jacket, I would be ready to face the world (as tinted by aviator sunglasses, of course). The rest of my family did not seem to share my enthusiasm. Comments about my appearance became more and more commonplace. Mom would hint about the length of my hair, asking if "I was wanting to wear it in a pony tail" or something to that extent. Dad would take a neutral position on the subject; I got the impression that he would express his solidarity with me, if only he knew how to fix his own chicken-fried steak. As is often the case, the awful truth about my look came from my younger brother. "Mike, you look iike a bum!" he finally told me. He was right. I did, indeed, look like a bum. And so, without fanfare, I dashed my aspirations of taking it easy. The dreams of jean jackets and aviator sunglasses were, with the hum of the barber's clippers, rendered as nothing more than a passing summer fancy, a dream as brief as the moment between night and dawn. That evening, I made a point to shave my three-day stubble (which really only looked like a five o'clock shadow, anyway). In postscript, I've actually grown to like my shorter, sleeker look. It's far more manageable, the gray hair doesn't stand out, and the people around me aren't embarrassed to be seen with me in public. Maybe it's not about how you look after all. Perhaps the laid-back element that seems to come with the 1970s hair is really just a mind set, one that can be reached just by one's way of thinking. Or maybe I should grow a mustache. •

Napster appeals to pro-technology circuit court BY JON HEALEY

The argument is the same one that Napster's lawyers tried on U.S. District Judge Marilyn Hall Patel in San Francisco, who nevertheless slapped the company with a potentially crippling injunction. But the 9th Circuit, whose turf includes Silicon Valley and Hollywood, has a track record that some copyright experts say is more favorable to innovative technologies like Napster. Napster, the most popular online music service, is challenging a pretrial ruling by Judge Patel that it enabled the widespread violation of copyrights held by record labels and songwriters. Patel's July 26 order gave Napster two days to stop those violations, but Napster's lawyers said the company couldn't do that without shutting down the service. Hours before Patel's injunction
H
was to take effect, 9th Circuit Judges Alex Kozinski and Barry Silverman granted. Napster's request for a reprieve. The case, they said, raised substantial and new questions about what constitutes a copyright violation and how to remedy it. Jonathan Schiller, a lawyer for Napster, argued that Congress specifically gave consumers the right to copy music for personal use in the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992. In fact, he said, the 9th Circuit held in 1999 that the law protects all non-commercial copying when it rejected the record labels' lawsuit against a portable music player made by Diamond Multimedia, a subsidiary of Santa Clara-based S3 Inc. Patel held that the law doesn't apply to computers, an opinion that Volokh shares. But Schiller said they were misreading the statute. Napster's brief also contends that the service is protected by_the Supreme Court's 1984 ruling in favor of Sony Corp.'s video cassette recorders. That ruling protects any technology that has a "substantial non-infringing use"; in Napster's case, Schiller said, that includes letting users sample songs before buying them and downloading
music from bands that want their music to be distributed that way. Finally, the brief argues that Patel made several errors in determining the facts of the case, such as giving the record labels the benefit of the doubt when evidence was lacking or in conflict. That's a critical argument, given that the appeals courts traditionally defer to the lower courts on questions of fact. The labels and publishers have until Sept. 8 to reply to Napster's written arguments. Commenting recently, Amy Weiss, a spokeswoman for the Recording Industry Association of America, said, "Judge Patel issued a thoughtful and well-reasoned opinion that we believe will be upheld on appeal." Hank Berry, Napster's interim chief executive, said he is continuing to propose changes in the service that could compensate artists and settle the lawsuit, but so far the labels haven't been receptive.
Legal experts say that the 9th Circuit is active and respected on copyright issues, although not as influential as the federal appeals court based in New York. Mark Lemley, a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley, said the court is probably best known in tech circles for its 1992 ruling in a copyright lawsuit brought by videogame and console manufacturer Sega Enterprises Ltd. against videogame designer Accolade (now owned by Infogrames Entertainment S.A.). The court, Lemley said, was the first to endorse "reverse engineering" â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the practice of taking a product apart to figure out how to make another product compatible with it. The ruling doesn't necessarily mean that the 9th Circuit is less protective of copyrights, Lemley said. Attorney Mark Radcliffe of Gray Cary Ware & Freidenrich in Palo Alto agreed, noting that the 9th Circuit ruled in favor of copyright holder Nintendo in a
separate reverse-engineering case. "A lot of judges come not from an intellectual property background, so they have kind of peculiar views of intellectual property," Radcliffe said. The Sega decision, for example, indicates a little bit of sentiment that "big evil corporations" were trying to use copyright law "to hold back the garners," he said. Pam Samuelson, another law professor and copyright expert at UC-Berkeley, said the precedent set in the Sony case should help Napster. It takes "an aggressive new theory to overcome the implications of a major U.S. Supreme Court decision," she said. In addition to being technology-savvy, the 9th Circuit "have also generally been attentive to the wider public interests at stake in intellectual property decisions, which means that aggressive new rights holders' theories of liability don't always succeed in this court." â&#x20AC;˘

Campus life can be fun without funds, writer says BY MIKE GREER
Staff Writer
S
o you just moved into the dorms, you have no money, no car and you're trying to figure out whk to do for fun. Simple. Make friends with someone who has a car and money. It's like getting a sword in the old school Legend of Zelda. You're playing the game but you can't do anything fun until you find the proper accessory. Actually it's not that bad. There are a lot of things to do within walking or biking distance of campus. Most of them are fun, some even legal. There are basketball and volleyball courts on the south side of the dorms. There's a full court on University Street by the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity house for more competitive players. If you don't play, you can always just go out and talk some trash. There's also Broncho Lake. You can't do anything with the lake, but I've spent a few nights watching the fountains, and I have no regrets.
UCO also has free theater events throughout the school year and summer. I saw Much Ado About Nothing this past May on the grass next to University Street. It was .a really good show. It was funny, it was free and I had a blast. In addition to the entertainment available for students' viewing pleasure, UCO has plenty of clubs and organizations to encourage participation. There are organizations for everyone from Yo-Yo junkies to swing dancers and all of them provide an easy way for students to get involved and meet other people with similar interests. There are also plenty of things to do just outside the limits of UCO. Off-campus activities are a lot easier to come by if you have a car. If you don't, Al's bicycles on the west side of Broadway, south of K-Mart can set you up with a good deal on a new bike. If you're sickly broke, you might score one from a garage sale or a flier posted on campus for a little less money. Once you've got a bike, you can hit up the shopping centers north of campus_ on Danforth Street and Bryant Avenue or south of campus on 2nd St. and Bryant Avenue. After a few weeks of cafeteria food the shopping center's Burger King will taste like home

cooking. For entertainment as well as great atmosphere, I would highly recommend Hafer Park. The park, which is located on Bryant Avenue and 9th St., is a decent but manageable walk if you're not a total wuss. And with all it has to offer, it's worth it any hour of any day. Among the long list of things to do at the park are PHOTO BY TONI RUIZ the Shakespeare in the Park A duck pond, complete with a fountain, is just one of the theater productions.
