Thrift announces UCOSA agenda by Audrey Dodgen Editor in chief Kate Thrift, UCO Student Association president, announced plans for her yearlong term Monday. Thrift, a senior political science major, previewed her agenda before a joint session of the House and the Senate. Thrift said that while she knows what she would like to accomplish, her primary goal is to represent the student body fairly. "Students keep giving me suggestions as to what they think needs to be addressed. I will try to Fix those things before I try to change things that don't matter as much," she said.
Thrift said increasing the involvement of international students on campus was a primary concern. "Sometimes the students who are from this area don't always know what to say to the international students. The language barrier tends to be a big problem, and it can get really awkward," she said. "We'd like to see the international student organizations hosting more events where people can come together to learn about other cultures. That's what helps us learn about each other," Thrift said. Thrift said she would also like to address the issue of Dead Week. "We hope to pass legislation that will encourage facul-

ty to keep from holding exams the week before finals. Students could use that time to prepare for final exams," she said. Move-in and move-out times also need to be more flexible, Thrift said.
"If a student doesn't sign up to move out and have their room checked on Friday or Saturday [of finals week], they are automatically put down for Thursday. For students who have a Friday final, getting out of the dorm on
Thursday can be a huge burden," she said. Thrift is also the student representative on the committee overseeing renovations to Wantland Stadium. The committee has narrowed the field of bidders to Five and will begin conducting interviews in early September. Thrift said the renovations to the university's sports cornplex are a sign that UCO will meet President Webb's goal of being the state's school of choice by the end of the decade. "People keep calling UCO Oklahoma's 'best kept secret.' There is no reason for it to be a secret any longer," she said. "There is no reason that you can't look at all of the
schools in Oklahoma the same size as UCO and know that we are the best. We have the best professors, the best support staff and definitely the best student body," Thrift said. Thrift also said that everyone who graduates from UCO will take that name with them every time they look for a job. "This is the education and experience we will take with us. When we leave here, we will be graduates of the University of Central Oklahoma. That should motivate us to help make is even better," she said. "I can't imagine going to school anywhere else. UCO is a great place to be."
New smoking policy takes effect Monday by Rick Russick Staff Writer

Freshman Megan Guyer takes a smoke break outside the Nigh University Center Wednesday.
Smoking will be prohibited within 25 feet of all doors on campus after Sept. 1, said Dr. Don Powers, UCO director for Quality Assurance and Safety Management. According to a new state law, those caught breaking the rule will be subject to a $100 fine. "We aren't going to be head hunting. Those breaking the law will be warned first," Powers said. "There will be fines, but we will be giving people time to adapt to the new law," said Sergeant M. Sherrick McCray of UCO's Department of Public Safety. "I have never heard of any schools ever giving out citations specifically for smoking except maybe in places like New York," he said. The new policy is part of a joint resolution passed by the Oklahoma House of Representatives and Senate. The resolution will ban smoking in front of all doors to buildings and public transportation. Mike Griffin, a finance senior, said he likes the new law, but thinks the administration should designate smoking areas.
Griffin said no one should have to stand out in the freezing cold. Matt Gray, a biology sophomore, said the law is no big deal. He said if someone doesn't like the new law they should quit smoking. "If they want a cigarette bad enough, they can go out in the cold and smoke it," Gray said. Dennis Tapp, a marketing junior, said he doesn't mind smoking 25 feet away from the door. "Hell, smoking is bad for you and if [the new law] is to keep other people's health up, it's good," he said. Angela Bratcher, a public relations senior, said the law is a step in the right direction, but doesn't think smokers should be separated from everyone else. "I think the new law is great. There are students who like to congregate, but don't like the smoke. If we smokers want to harm ourselves that's okay, but we shouldn't have to hide," she said. McCray said both UCO department officials and campus police will enforce the new law. "This is a courtesy issue. We are all adults, and we simply have to respect state law," he said.
Campus civic engagement priority for Betz by Jim Epperson HI Senior Writer In association with 151 other public colleges and universities nationwide, UCO is participating in a new civic engagement program, the American Democracy Project. Dr. Don Betz, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs, spoke to faculty and staff members Aug. 27 about how the project will begin at UCO. "This is about change, campus culture and the things we value," Betz said. National statistics show that younger people distrust the government and that their voter turnout is low, he said. Betz said, during the first year of the three-year project, a "conversation" with faculty and staff will take place to determine the best action for civic engagement. Betz said he will conduct a campus audit to look in every "crack and cranny" to determine the best
course of action for the university. Also, administrators will meet with faculty members to see what civic engagement activities are already being done on campus. The new project will be able to reach 1.5 million students in the participating schools and help them become more active citizens, Betz said. "Students need to become effective and engaged members of society." Betz said he will be meeting with student organizations soon to discuss their role in the project. Dr. Sue Sasser, assistant professor of economics, attended the meeting. After the meeting, Sasser said she thinks the project is needed. In her own class, she has noticed students not knowing of or showing civic engagement. Sasser recently gave a survey to her students in which she had students rank economic issues in order of importance. She said student ranked economic freedom as one of
the least important issues. "This is really disheartening," Sasser said. Dr. Brett Sharp, assistant professor of political science, said the civic engagement Betz is speaking about is a lot more than just voting. "It even involves just having dinner with a friend, writing letters to newspapers and joining organizations," Sharp said. Campus Life Director Blake Fry said his office has done a lot of work with Campus Compact, a national coalition between 900 college and university presidents promoting volunteerism. Fry said Campus Compact will work with the American Democracy Project. Fry said he anticipates working on the project. Betz said that someone asked Benjermin Franklin what kind of government the forefathers created. Franklin's response was, "A republic, if you can keep it." `We might lose it our own way ourselves," Betz said.

Exercise a little courtesy We are busy people. We juggle class schedules, jobs and family responsibilities on top of everything else. In the chaos, we sometimes have to pare down our lifestyle, eliminating non-essential activities and commitments. When did we sacrifice common courtesy? Have we evolved into a people too self-focused to recognize the needs of others? Has our haste killed our sense of compassion? When a fellow student collapsed recently on campus, our police department responded within minutes of the first call, a call that was not made until 10 minutes after the collapse. An unconscious student lay outside on the ground for 10 minutes before someone called authorities. Sure, it can easily be assumed that no one was near the student at the time. But once the fire truck, ambulance and two police cars drove up, people flocked to the site like a spiritual migration. Questions floated around the crowd and were called out from dorm windows as the flashing lights drew more curious bystanders to the scene. But the question that should have been asked first and foremost was "What can we do to help?" Where were these gawkers fifteen minutes earlier when their fellow student was in trouble? Such an incident is unacceptable.
There are 19 SafeWalk stations on our campus, one in every building with classrooms and several posted outside. Buildings that do not have SafeWalk stations have phones readily available to anyone in need of emergency assistance. Even better, those of us with cell phones can easily call 9-1-1 from right on the scene. OK, let's refer back to those fables and lessons on common courtesy we were taught when we were younger. Try to remember the Golden Rule, that old adage that begins, "Do unto others..." How many of us have skipped class or called into work for something trivial, like going out to eat or seeing a movie - or even just getting another hour of sleep? How can we have the audacity to turn around and say "I don't have any time" when it comes to the serious things in life? Is it really that difficult to take a few minutes to offer directions to a lost freshman or hold the door for someone struggling with an armful of books? Administration has provided us with the facilities to respond to emergencies on campus but it's up to us to do something about it. Helping our fellow man is something that we should act on daily, not just in matters of life and death.

The battle over a monument of the Ten Commandments still rages in Alabama. One lone judge dares to defy the very laws he claims to defend. Who is that lone ranger? Alabama's Chief Justice Roy Moore. He's the one who placed that monument in the Montgomery courthouse rotunda one night in 2001. The problem is he did it without the votes of the other judges. "Removing that monument would violate the oath of office [I took] because laws are based on Judeo-Christian values," Moore said in a December New York Times briefing. Judge Myron H. Thompson of the Montgomery Federal District Court ordered the removal of the monument Nov. 18. He said the monument violates the separation of church and state and improperly promotes religion in a government building. After many deadlines, the Federal Appeals Court ordered Moore to remove the monument by Aug. 20 or the state would face a $5,000 fine daily. Alabama governor Bob Riley doesn't want the state to face fines but feels there is "nothing wrong or unconstitutional about public displays of the Ten Commandments." The United States Supreme Court has ruled that displaying religious symbols is acceptable as long as that symbol is not overly conspicuous. Thomas Jefferson believed that religion was a personal matter of the heart, something between a person and their god. He believed that there was to be a "wall of separation" between the government and the church. This wasn't to take freedoms away from Christians or anyone else. Instead, the wall Jefferson spoke of was meant to
preserve the natural rights of mankind to choose whether to worship or not to worship. Government should not endorse religion. At the same time, it should not keep anyone from practicing the religion of their choice. Until the Reformation, many European countries were required to give homage to the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church. Those who didn't acknowledge the church were often severely punished. After the Protestant Reformation, those in Great Britain were required to pay homage to the Anglican Church. The Pilgrims left tyranny in pursuit of religious freedom. However, the early colonists did not always practice freedom of religion, although they thought they did. Ever heard of the Salem Witch Trials? Jefferson believed that no one should be told how to practice religion. If the creator grants religious freedom to mankind, man cannot take these rights away. The U.S. motto "In God We Trust" was adopted by Congress and President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Some people are offended by this motto and believe that it should be changed. The government is not forcing people to believe in God. The motto just states that the majority of those in government acknowledge the existence of God. Jefferson said he did not one religious sect to rule over others. Would Jefferson want the Ten Commandments taken out of the courthouse? No. Would any of the founding fathers want the Ten Commandments taken out? Probably not. The founding fathers .
wouldn't have put the monument there in the first place.

New organization aims to help recruit ballplayers by Jim Epperson III Senior Writer
Photo by Gavin Elliott
Student Assistant Coach Jo Nixon and Assistant Coach Joe Dickinson teach Bronze and Blue Angels rules of recruiting football players Aug. 20.
The UCO football coaching staff created a new student organization this fall to help recruit new players. The Bronze and Blue Angels, an organization geared toward women, met for the first time Aug. 20 in the Hamilton Field House. "Recruiting is the lifeblood of any football organization," Assistant Coach Joe Dickinson said to open the meeting. A strong recruiting organization is essential for a solid program, Dickinson said. A football team can't have a good team without good players, he said. "Everytime we have a game, you're meeting the recruits coming in," Dickinson said to the new
girls. He said he coached and helped similar organizations at other universities, including Tulane University and the University of Oklahoma. "We had 50 ladies at Tulane and 100 at Oklahoma," he said. Student Assistant Coach Jo Nixon, who also spoke at the meeting, said the members of the new organization will participate in luncheons, dinners meetings, banquets, homecoming activities and summer football camp. Nixon said the NCAA has specific rules that do not allow universities to officially begin recruiting until January. Until then, everything is unofficial, he said. "We'll fly guys in from all over the country," Nixon said. Dickinson stressed that the Bronze and Blue Angels will
uphold professionalism. He said similar female organizations, like the Georgia Girls, have been perceived as escort services. "Everything I do or you do reflexes on Coach Langston," Dickinson said. Korryn Walker, business management senior, who is on the advisory board of the Angels, said she wants people to know that their job is serious. "We wouldn't put ourselves in any kind of predicament to be considered an escort service," Walker said. Ashley Reeves, criminal justice senior, said Nixon recruited her in the Nigh University Center. She has been part of a similar organization in Texas and she wants to promote school spirit. "UCO people need more spirit," Reeves said
International students have campus orientation by Robert T. Crauthers Staff Writer The International Office held an orientation for international students Aug. 22. The meeting introduced students to the campus and to rules of western society. Jalal Daneshfar, coordinator of immigration and campus life for international students, spoke on campus involvement and student regulations. The focus of the meeting was immigration requirements. Daneshfar told them it is extremely important to follow the rules and remain in good standing. "Good standing can mean different things," he said. For the university, it only means disciplinarily and academically, but federal regulations require students to keep their registration and records upto-date. "Loss of student status could result in deportation," he said. Many things could affect their status. Students may only work 20 hours a week whether on or off campus. Special permission is required for the stu-
dents to do so, Daneshfar said. UCO allows international students to work on campus, including in the restaurants here, he said. He told the students it would be tough to find an on-campus job. "The opportunities change very quickly, though," Daneshfar said. Njeri Mbugua, president of the International Student Council, spoke briefly on the activities sponsored by the organization. Some of the activities mentioned were a co-ed world cup soccer tournament offered to all students on campus and an international festival of food, arts and entertainment. The organization also sponsors a Graduation and Scholarship Reception and a field trip during Fall Break. After the meeting students were given a surprise lesson in country line dancing. Nancy Morten, bench aerobics and line dancing teacher at UCO, directed them in the techniques. "It gives you a chance to shake it," said Dr. Ronald Paddock, international office director. Students were all given cowboy hats and bandanas for the event.

At a special meeting on Monday, Enid City Commissioners adopted an emergency resolution to accept the $192,000 construction grant for Enid Woodring Regional Airport. The grant will cover 90 percent of estimated costs of expanding the airport terminal to accommodate a security checking area. Airport Manager Don Cornell said the grant will provide for an additional 1,500 square feet to the terminal so that passengers can go through security checkpoints into a waiting lounge for their flight. Currently, the security checks are done in a metal trailer. There are

four flights from the airport daily, three to Dallas and one to Denver. "We've needed it for a long, long time," Cornell said of the upgrade. Federal Aviation Administration officials asked city officials in May to establish specifications and cost estimates for the construction. The total cost of the project is estimated at $213,500. The remaining 10 percent of the funding will come from airport funds. Cornell said the expansion will increase the total size of the airport to just more than 6,000 square feet.

Old Blue Crew to cheer again by Rachael Tully Staff Writer

Shai Rasmussen, chairman of Ole' Blue Crew shows her school spirit Aug. 25.
A new UCO spirit club will be stirring up Broncho pride this fall, said Mike Kirk, assistant athletic director. "Old Blue Crew will be THE school spirit organizadon," said Shai Rasmussen, chairman of the new club."We are dedicated to promoting love for our school." The group plans to have some of its 65 members at every athletic event held at UCO. "From football to soccer, we will be cheering our students on all the way," Rasmussen said. Originally founded in 1998, the spirit club was first called Ole' Blue Crew. But as students graduated, the club died off, Rasmussen said. "With the unveiling of the new logo and newly renovated
stadium, a new energy is being felt on campus," Kirk said."It is influencing great changes." The revival of Old Blue Crew is one of the changes, Rasmussen said. With support from President Webb and Dr. Kathryn Gage, the spirit club plans to help motivate students to get involved on campus. The spirit crew plans to help UCO cheerleaders by making posters and banners for pep rallies and games. Kara Essary, cheer captain, said that the organization would bring excited fans to the games and would give the cheerleaders enthusiastic fans to cheer to. "We are here not only for athletic support, but for complete university support," Rasmussen said. The group is holding its first meeting 7:30 pm at Broncho Lake.

Fraternity rush begins by Jim Epperson III Senior Writer UCO fraternities seem to have left behind the "Animal House" days, becoming a respected organization where members can make lasting friendships and social connections. The days of drunken partying in fraternities are passing, said George Kohlhofer, Pi Kappa Alpha president. He said frats have been presenting a positive role on campus for some time. "No Animal House.' We are helping freshman grow into what they are going to be for the rest of their lives," Kohlhofer said. To get people to join the fraternity, the Pikes hosted a concert Aug. 23. Kohlhofer said this is the third semester Hinder has performed for the Pikes. Girls also came to the concert to persuade guys to join the Pikes. UCO freshmen Brinda Cunningham and Jennifer McKenzie said at the "Hinder" concert that they were helping with the recruiting process.
"Someone asked us to talk to some guys and tell them to rush Pike," Cunningham said. The brothers at the Kappa Sigma house took a different approach to recruitment. They built a waterfall off the roof of their house into a pool in the front yard. They started the waterfall Aug. 26 with a 20-horsepower pump that sends water from the pool to a reservoir on the roof. Then it overflows down a large gutter into the pool. Kevin Holmes, president of Kappa Sigma, said he is expecting a lot of recruits. "Our frat is a great way to better yourself and make your college experience better socially, academically and civilly," he said. Reasons to join a house vary. For many freshmen, like computer science major Mike Shannon, choosing a frat is based on academic discipline. "Some frats say they will give five hours of mandatory study time, but others say I might not even sleep some nights," Shannon said.
He said it is ludicrous if he cannot sleep on a school night, especially since his purpose at UCO is to get an education. Shannon said he has enjoyed Rush Week so far, and he has narrowed his decision to Alpha Tau Omega and the Pikes. He said these frats stressed education the most. Shannon said he narrowed his options when another fraternity lied to him about being invited to parties. He said he would never join a frat that he could not trust. Many students like Brad Max, professional golf management freshman, said frats offer a great social environment to meet friends and girls. Trevor Sadler, a psychology senior and member of the Pikes, said joining a frat is the fastest way to meet people. "We introduce our brothers to other sororities and fraternities — that's hundreds of people," Sadler said. After college, brothers will have a large network to find job opportunities across the country, he said.

makeup right off your face. Easy-to-throw-together outfits that are cool, yet look put together are best for this weather. T-shirts are a definite must for college girls. They go with almost every outfit and they're great to throw on when you get up 10 minutes before class. But even if you slept through your alarm, you don't have to look like you just woke up. Capri pants compliment Tshirts nicely and there are many styles to choose from. Just make sure you buy straight-legged or flare capris; tight pants that hug the calf are unflattering. Make sure the hemline hits between your lower calf and ankle. If it hits above the lower calf they look like Huckleberry Finn pants and if it sets below the ankle it looks like your pants shrank in the dryer. Choose wisely! I visited Kokopelli at the intersection of Bryant and 15th and found some good buys. Kokopelli sales associate, Cecilia Barlow told me, "Michael Stars [tees] are hot, they're always in and they're great for all ages." She was right. The store carries both matte and shiny styles in T-shirt and tank top cuts so you can dress your capris up or down. They also carry fun khaki cargo capri pants. The owner of Kokopelli wanted to welcome UCO students back for the fall semester, so, if you take a copy of The Vista to Kokopelli when you go shopping, she'll give you 10 percent off any Michael Stars TPhoto Provided shirts until Sept. 6. Happy shopping! Carrie Chlebanowski, senior journalism major models a The 100-degree-plus weather we have endured the past few weeks has been agonizing. There are few worse things than opening the front door and being blasted with heat that melts the
Kokopelli outfit, perfect for summertime heat.

UCO's jazz lab has been named best venue for live music in Oklahoma City.
Jazz lab voted best in OKC metro The UCO Jazz Lab was recently voted the best live music club in Oklahoma City. by the Oklahoma Gazette's readers in their "Best of OKC 2003" issue. Lee Rucker, the director of the year old UCO Jazz Lab, said the award is reflection of the total team effort of the jazz lab staff, and the staff of the College of Arts Media and Design. He also expressed appreciation for all the great local bands that are available in the Oklahoma City area, the national acts that perform in the Jazz Lab, and Hideaway Pizza's involvement. "The Jazz Lab is also a great recording studio," Rucker said. "We offer a wide range of services from demo to multi-track recordings and have a variety of
studio equipment available," he said. The Jazz Lab attracts a dynamic range of music, including rock, blues and jazz performers. "The acoustics are great. More importantly, it's a venue where people come to really listen to music. The music has their utmost attention. That's what makes it so special," said Marjie Shadid, a jazz singer who performed there Aug.23. Shadid said that the managing staff is very organized and dedicated to keeping the Jazz Lab looking and sounding good. "I thought the acoustics in the Jazz Lab were phenomenal," said Crystal Henderson, a UCO freshman who attended Marjie
Shadid's performance. "The listening environment was also really laid back," Henderson said. "Everyone had their eyes glued to the stage, watching and listening intently." "I would definitely recommend the Jazz Lab to anyone who loves to listen to live music," she said. Live performances are every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8:00p.m. On Thursdays UCO students can enter the Jazz Lab for only $5. For more information on the Jazz Lab, scheduled bands, or the Jazz Lab's studio, visit their website at www.ucojazzlab.com .

family and coaching staff to the crowd that had gathered in anticipation of the upcoming 2003 football season despite the near 100 degree temperatures. Langston expressed his excitement about the upcoming season and talked with great pride about the team he inherited at UCO. Then he praised the parents of the players for, as he put it, "raising such great character kids." After Langston's speech the team began doing various types of warm up drills on the field. The quarterback drills drew most of the attention as both Erick Johnson and Aso Pogi looked sharp. The coaches continue to indicate that there is no leader in the
yard punts during drills showing he could be the key factor when the Bronchos battle for field position this season. His longest in a season is 54 yards. Haglund, who was the second leading scorer for the Bronchos in 2002, showed improvement from a year ago nailing every kick during field goal drills. His longest was a 47-yarder that had plenty of distance and easily cleared the cross bar. Seven-on-seven passing drills followed special teams drills. The defensive backs were to much for Johnson and Pogi as senior Dewight Devaughn and red-shirt freshman Tim Stone each had interceptions.
Sophomore Jason Debay, freshman Tyler Ellis, senior Danny Nephew, and freshman Chad Whiteside had sacks for the defense. The biggest play for the offense came on a shovel pass to sophomore tailback Derrick Camacho for a 22yard gain. Camacho returns as the leading rusher from a year ago but will play behind new starting tailback Jarrod Manoy who transferred to UCO from Trinity Valley Community College with Langston.
