UCO acquires artwork from Murrah Building

by Timber Massey tm@thevistaonline.com Twenty-four works of art from the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building are now on permanent display in the UCO Max Chambers Library, said Pam Husky, a retired UCO professor and Assistant Chair of the art department, UCO Director of Galleries and Museums Zina Gelona said Husky was instrumental in bringing the exhibit to UCO. Husky said, "After the bombing the art work was stored in a warehouse for about five years."

"We had to work very closely with the General Services Administration in order to make a permanent place for the art to be displayed," she said.

The General Services Administration administers the Art in Architecture Program,

which provides for fine art in public places such as federal buildings, said Husky.

According to Gelona, several of the fluorescent lights in the library had to be changed because they were hazardous to the fibers in the artwork.

Husky said she first became interested in the artwork at the Murrah Building when she was a UCO undergraduate 30 years ago.

At that time she had a ceramics class with Franklin Simons, an artist whose work was on display at the federal building.

According to Husky, Franklin Simons' "Monolith IV" was one piece in a series of three. She said the first piece that was on the third floor of the Murrah Building was destroyed during

New computer literacy program boosts graduates' job oppurtunities

by Michael Larson ml@thevistaonline.com A new certification program is drawing UCO students to a heightened computer literacy with the lure of career options and real-world internships.

The Certificate in Emerging Technologies (CET) program gives students pursuing nontechnological degrees the option of taking courses like "Law for E-Commerce" and "Information Management in Political Science" and have a certification to show for their efforts.

"We thought there was a tremendous need to educate non-technology field students about technology," said Program Director Dave Harris, professor of management.

The program has placed 10 students in internships at local Information Technology (IT) companies. The Internship in Business Administration (MNGMT 4953) class attempts

to place students in internships pertinent to their field, while teaching them skills involving technology.

Students wishing to earn the certification are required to take 18 credit hours in courses from at least three of the school's five colleges. At least 12 of those hours must be completed at UCO, and none of the student's major coursework can be counted toward the certification. The student must earn an overall 2.5 GPA in classes counted toward the certificate.

Examples of companies participating in the internship program are Oklahoma City's Advanced Academics, an online education company, and New Vision Consulting, an IT consulting firm based in Edmond, and Pace/Butler, an Edmond computer resale company.

"The goal is for students to have an understanding and an appreciation of technology prior

to graduation," Harris said.

With 16 classes available from all five of UCO's colleges, Harris said the program aims to give students as much flexibility as possible in earning the certification.

A three-year $150,000 grant from the National Science Foundation started in 2001 grants scholarships to students seeking the certification. The grant's final year, which begins in January, has an application deadline of September 27. The scholarship is only available to US citizens.

Though the program is in its infancy, it boasts an enrollment of 35 students. Harris said students should begin graduating from the program this semester.

Ebony Dallas, senior advertising major, is confident the CET program will unlock new job opportunities not available to her without a background in computers.

"Not only will I be qualified to work in my major field of advertising, I will also qualify for jobs in the computer field."

She said she took the class to add computer skills to her resume, she also gained exposure to the business world associated with the IT field.

Barry Lofton, Director of the TRIO program, regularly refers his students to the CET program. Lofton, who assists "first generation students'', or students who's immediate family have not obtained college degrees before, said many of his students come from backgrounds in which they weren't exposed to computers and technology.

"A lot of these students are afraid of computers, and avoid using them," Lofton said.

"We try to make them understand that once they graduate from UCO, not having computer skills will hinder them from finding a job."

Plagiarism.

The Oxford Essential Dictionary, American Edition, says to plagiarize is to ''take and use (the thoughts, writings, inventions, etc., of another person) as one's own" or ''to pass off the thoughts, etc., of (another person) as one's own."

The faculty and staff of UCO are adopting new measures to combat its threat, including speaking to the freshmen on the first day of Stampede Week.

"It's my biggest concern," said Jarrod Noftsger, assistant to the Vice-President for Student Services and senior conduct officer.

Dr. Amy Carrell, director of Graduate Studies of the English Department, said plagiarism is an all-encompassing problem. It spans from undergraduates to graduates, from foreign students to American students.

"It happens a lot," she said.

Carrell said many students fall into plagiarism because they don't know how to correctly site sources, they have forgotten the procedure for siting, or they deliberately do it.

"A lot of it is time," she said.

She also said many students may not realize that plagiarizing is stealing.

"It is theft of another's words or ideas. It appalls me," Carrell said.

She has dealt with many different cases of plagiarism in her twenty years of teaching.

Some student blunders she mentioned include the student

Dr. Bob Palmer, UCO professor and chair of the art department, has another mural underway in Edmond.

According to Palmer, the mural will be on the east wall of a shopping center located at Second Street and Littler. Palmer said the wall faces a camera shop that was originally the first public school in Oklahoma Territory.

Palmer said Lucille Warrick, Vice Chairperson of the Edmond Historic Preservation Trust, contacted him to paint the mural.

Warrick said,"We are in the process of renovating the school into a living history museum."

"Fourth and fifth graders will be taught Oklahoma history in the new building," she said.

Palmer said Ben Beyoung, a UCO undergraduate, Nick Bayer, a UCO graduate, and Chris Small, an art lecturer at OSU in OKC, will be assisting him.'

"The mural will give the illusion that it is an old photograph because it will be the color of sepia-tone and appear to have been hand tinted," he said.

"Photographers at that time did not have paper which could achieve the rich black color that we do today."

Palmer said he and his team will project the actual photograph onto the wall and paint the outline of the image. He said that they will fill in the images with paint and add people to make it look more life-like.

kbampus Quotes

Plagiarism is such a big problem on campus that many professors are taking great measures in warning students on the first day of class this semester.

Would the warnings cut down students' idiotic action of copying other people's work to pass them off as their own? (Clifford the Big Red Dog's website? We'll probably never figure that one out.)

Guess we'll have to keep our eyes open for that.

The saddest part is that students might actually think they could get away with stealing other people's work.

To underestimate college professors is a big mistake no one should make in their academic careers.

They've been around the block a few times. They've all been students who are scrambling on deadlines.

They've got their masters' and doctors'.

They know all the tricks in or out of the books.

Do you really think they can't tell if you are writing the paper or not?

The truth is probably that so often we wait till the night before our papers are due to write that 12-page research paper, and we are just not thinking clearly any more.

By the time the clock strikes four times and the complete darkness of the sky is about to give away to the slightest hint of white light of dawn, anything that would finish the paper begins to look good.

Except, your conscience should be your guide.

Or, if you don't have that, let the fear in your heart tell you that by making that mistake, you could very well have gotten yourself expelled.

And even if you are allowed to stay in school, every little thing you write from then on would be under scrutiny because you will be on every professor's black list.

"Drop a letter grade."

i, long time no see," "fabulous dress," "how are you" etc are well worn phrases that sound almost like cliches. One will often encounter them at clubs, get-togethers, party circuits, and even in the corridors. I have often wondered how the other person would react if I had chosen to reply in detail to such casual queries. No doubt he or she would be astounded. This is because often beneath the hum of such vacuous conversation lies a meaningless silence.

If the above is true then how should one communicate? True communication requires one to go out on a limb from time to time. It is an interactive skill. When we decide to truly communicate we often decide to share something of ourselves, and it usually consists of being who we are. However, this would necessarily entail a certain amount of self-disclosure and empathetic feedback. These are not easy processes. In fact we often shy away from them.

It is pretty clear from the above that we all need acceptance; we crave understanding. But we fear rejection.

Further more, a growing number of us today gather into groups only to be lonely together. And why is this?

Because we would rather indulge in stereotyped non-communication. Such communication only creates a vacuum of uneasy silence, wherein we are shielded from what we desperately want to know - perhaps ourselves.

Life often presents opportuni-

unexplained acts of unleashed aggression towards the weak etc. In such situations we are often polite, but our body language tells it all. "Am I my Brother's Keeper?" We often become greatly ashamed and do not respond. There prevails a thunderous silence of non acknowledgement.

As students of Psychology we are taught that when the truly troubled person comes out of his place of hiding and reaches out for understanding, he only asks for possible understanding without judgment or evaluation. This process of non-judgmental acceptance can only be achieved by training ourselves to focus on the person through active listening. In fact the greatest compliment we can truly pay another is to be able to listen to him.

I have often wondered how relationships transpire? I do believe they occur through shared communication between two people. It is called the "encounter." In the true encounter, silence becomes shared and makes way for a dialogue of understanding. There is a mutual exploration of oneself and the other. Then within each of us dawns an understanding paving the way for a relationship. And yet each person always remains a distinct self.

We invariably relate silence to a state of noiselessness. However welcome this state may be, it is much more than passivity. The true regenerative spirit of silence creates a state of alertness within that introduces us to the throb of the universe. It is in this dynamic state of silence that there is total focus enabling one to truly 'see', 'listen' and 'hear' becoming a witness to an awakening which enables the what is to unfold.

Silence is of many hues. There is the silence that disempowers and demeans. There is also the silence that empowers and emancipates. The choice is ours. However, for freedom we need the latter silence whose voice is that of the unknown. We then elect the road less traveled. We may even have to traverse the razor's edge from time to time; or they could be no roads at all and we create them by walking. It is often in

Bush schedules Oklahoma stop to promote Republican canidates

by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline.com

Steve Largent

Jim Inhofe

President George Bush will be visiting Oklahoma City on Aug. 29, said Mark Nichols, manager of Steve Largent's campaign for governor.

"It is confirmed," Nichols said August 21.

Bush will attend a fundraiser-luncheon in Oklahoma City at the Cox Convention Center to support Largent, the former Tulsa congressman, and Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, Nichols said.

Dr. Louis Furmanski, UCO department of political science chairperson, said Bush is "coming to pump up the Republican Party in Oklahoma, pure and simple."

Nichols said during the luncheon Bush will discuss the international situation and education.

Recently, the national public debate over how to remove Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been intensifying.

Furmanski said an attack on Iraq without direct evidence of state-sponsored terrorism would be unethical, illegal and unconstitutional. He said Bush's education stances were less objectionable than the administration's foreign policy.

Nichols said Bush will speak about education issues such as House Resolution 1, the "Leave No Child Behind" legislation the president signed into law in 2001.

Oklahoma investment portfolio shrinks due to revenue shortfall OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Declining state revenue has led to a drop in the amount of money available for the state to invest, according to the state treasurer's office.

Oklahoma has an average of $107 million less to invest this year. The decline will result in less interest income, which goes into the state's general revenue fund for appropriation by the Legislature.

Sue MacHugh, chief investment officer for the state treasurer's office, said investment funds have decreased from fiscal year 2001 levels because of lower revenue collections and withdrawls from the state's Rainy Day Fund.

"Those two things combined affected how much money was available from month to month," MacHugh said Friday at a meeting of the Cash Management and Investment Oversight Commission.

MacHugh said the drop does not mean the state has lost $107 million.

"We invest operating money, rather than let it sit in a bank account," she said. "Because of the shortfall, we have less money to invest."

Interest earnings are down from fiscal year 2001, said Tim Allen, spokesman for the treasurer's office.

Investment earnings for fiscal year 2001 topped $100 million. But earnings dropped during fiscal year 2002 when the state earned about $73.8 million.

Treasurer Robert Butkin said "the ongoing economic turn-

down along with reductions in interest rates by the Federal Reserve" were factors in the decline. Federal interest rates declined from 6.5 percent in January 2001 to 1.75 percent in January 2002.

Allen said interest earning estimates for fiscal year 2003, which began July 1, were adjusted to coincide with lower returns on investments.

Last week, the Office of State Finance reported general revenue fund collections in July were down 14.9 percent from the previous year and 13.5 percent below estimates.

The July shortfall forced the state to use $93 million from the Cash Flow Reserve Fund, leaving only $73 million in the fund. MacHugh said that gives the state $93 million less to invest.

State money is invested in fixed rate investments. Yields on treasury bonds have decreased because of the tendency of investors to move from the more volatile stocks to bonds. That trend also raises the price of bonds.

UCO offers training for UConnect users

by Fawn Porter fp@thevistaonline.com Training sessions are being offered for UCO's newest communication tool, UConnect, which allows faculty and students to interact and excange information via the web.

Sandra Franklin, assistant director of Technology User Services, said training sessions will be ongoing for staff, faculty and student organizational sponsors as they familiarize themselves with the system.

"Training sessions will be offered at least once a month thereafter," Franklin said.

She said three separate training sessions are being offered for faculty and staff The first session is an overview and hands-on demonstration for faculty, staff and sponsors of student's organizations. This session concentrates on the group portals, which includes email, chat rooms and the group itself.

The second session instructs on the usage of course tools built into the UConnect system such as adding links, message boards, email, chats and calendars.

The third session is directed toward the Web Course Tools (WebCT). UConnect with WebCT is used for more extensive assignments.

WebCT is another program used in conjunction with UConnect. It enables faculty to conduct web classes as well as give students surveys, quizzes, syllabi, lectures, and receive the online submission of assignments.

"With WebCT, a professor can do everything they would in do on paper in class, online," Franklin said.

For faculty using WebCT, the training sessions will be an all-day affair, Franklin said.

But for those who are simply using UConnect, training sessions will last approximately 1 1/2 hours, she said.

"Faculty may also schedule a time for their classes to attend a training session and be instructed in the demonstration and usage of UConnect", Franklin said.

"It will also be made sure that they can login," she said.

For students, UConnect training will be offered twiceeach semester.

"Students will automatically be instructed at Freshman Orientations," Franklin said.

"There will also be general training each semester."

Fry said he is excited about the ease and efficiency of UConnect..

Students are now connected within one system. Franklin and Fry said that although the asterisk plus banner number still exists, students no longer have to use it to gain access.

"Access is now gained with one simple login," Franklin said.

All training sessions are free.

Faculty and staff training session days and time are available online at technology.ucok.edu ., or to schedule a time to bring a class call 974-5590.

BRIEFS National AUSTIN, Texas (AP) A Williamson County Sheriff's Department deputy has been arrested and fired for taping shut a teenager's mouth during an interview.

James Mitchell Surovik was charged with official oppression, a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000. He is out on $5,000 bail.

Earlier this month, Surovik was interviewing three teenage suspects about a home burglary when one became uncooperative, said Jamie Balagia, Surovik's lawyer.

"He was interfering with some questioning that was going on with one of the other suspects, just making smart-aleck remarks every time that the other individual was struggling to respond," Balagia said. "He was asked to please...be quiet a number of times."

When the boy refused, Surovik put tape over his mouth.

The teen removed it but stayed quiet after that, Balagia told the Austin American Statesman for its Saturday editions

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) The FBI has seized more than $10 million from a bank account it says may be linked to a man whose securities licenses were suspended in 2000 for selling bogus investments.

FBI Special Agent Michael Bush said in an affidavit that he sought the seizure because he received information that Philip Lehman, founder of Tower Equities Inc., was trying to transfer about $10 million from an account at Key Bank to one in Switzerland.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Merz granted a warrant, made public on Friday, based on Bush's affidavit, the Dayton Daily News reported Saturday. The money was seized Wednesday.

No charges have been filed.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (AP) A jury ordered a delivery company to pay $60 million to a man from Sunbury, N.C., left with severe brain damage and other health problems after a traffic accident.

Brian Hugen, 40, was injured when a driver for Velocity Express hit another car and then Hugen's on Virginia 32 in Suffolk in August 2000. The jury deliberated less than an hour Friday before finding the company responsible.

"My sense is they evaluated the future cost of health care, coupled with the devastating injuries," said John W. Drescher, one of Hugen's lawyers.

With his guidance and a massive amount of cooperation from a large herd of bovine in El Reno, two UCO students are learning to do the sort of research that may one day save mankind, said UCO Biology Professor Dr. David Elmendorf.

Scott Maddox, a biology graduate student, and Niyati Sheth, a senior pre-med student, are the interns for the research project studying how a huge amount of cattle waste in a watershed will affect the quality of the water, and what might be done to reduce fecal contamination.

It all began in March 2001 with a press release announcing a $20,000 research grant awarded to UCO by Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

"The purpose of the grant is to train students to do research," Elmendorf said.

According to BioTech's Life Science Dictionary, a watershed is "all of the land area that contributes surface run-off to an existing or proposed reservoir or intake used for water supply."

Elmendorf said there are two watersheds within the cattle grazing area for the research.

The control is a watershed where nothing is done to keep fecal contamination from the cattle from entering the reservoir.

The experiment is a watershed with several manmade ponds strategically placed to catch contaminated run-off on its way to the reservoir.

Theoretically, the experiment provides both time and opportunity for a constantly changing

culture of bacteria to naturally purify the trapped run-off by acting upon the nitrogen and oxygen content of the contaminated water, Elmendorf said.

Weekly water quality testing is done on both the control and the experiment, he said.

Dr. John Daniel, a geologist with USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Grazinglands Research Laboratory in El Reno, assists the research team by doing the nutrient testing at the USDA facility, Elmendorf said.

ext toi Contraceptive Resea.74 StAT The Lynn Institute is now participating in a clinical research study on behalf of a pharmaceutical company of an investigational conbination of oral contraceptive medication for the prevention of pregnancy in women The combination of oral contraceptives is designed to allow for quarterly rather than monthly menstruating, thereby reducing the number of menses from 12 to 4 per year.

The students and him do the microbiology testing at UCO, Elmendorf said.

It's been a little more than a year, and tests are showing some reduction in the levels of fecal contamination on the experiment site, he said.

That means the group might have identified an economical method to reduce the amount of contaminated run-off of a cattle operation, which is what they had hoped for, Elmendorf said.

Rush week begins for campus fraternities

STRANGE STORIES SOUTHAMPTON,

by Summer Pratt sp@thevistaonline.com Rush begins at 8 p.m. Aug. 29 at the fraternity houses near campus and at the Commons Clubhouse for Pi Kappa Alpha.

Jarret Jobe, Greek coordinator, said during Rush Week, men interested in joining a fraternity will get to visit the different fraternity houses and select the one they wish to join.

"The guys will go around to the different houses with their cards and get a stamp from each house," Jobe said.

"After they have a stamp from every house they can decide which house to sign on with."

Jobe said prospective members must visit all houses before they can sign a bid card.

A bid card is a commitment that the prospective member makes about not joining another house and it also gives the fraternity permission to check on the potential member's grades.

Jobe said no prior affiliation with a fraternity is necessary to attend Rush Week.

Blake Fry, director of Campus Life, said the purpose of Rush Week is to give the men a chance to consider their different fraternity options.

"We want to make sure they feel comfortable with the people they'll spend their college careers with." Fry said.

Fry said all fraternities may seem the same to people who are not involved in Greek life, but they are actually quire different.

"Each one has its strengths and its own unique characteristics" UCO has 6 fraternities; ACACIA, Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Nu, Sigma Tau Gamma and Pi Kappa Alpha.

Fry encourages students to come to Rush Week with an open mind and consider all the houses.

Jobe said each house will have something different going on during Rush Week, like karaoke, volleyball or live music.

The second day of Rush Week is September 4. The final day is to be announced.

For more information on Rush Week, call Jarret Jobe at 974-2580.

Thursday Concert Series begins with renowned Indian musician

by Timber Massey tm@thevistaonline.com M.V. Narasimhachari will present a concert/lecture/ demonstration of Indian music on 2 p.m., Aug. 29 in Room 135 of the Music Building, said Dr. S. Narasinga Rao, Dean of the College of Graduate Studies and Research.

"Narasimhachari is an internationally renowned musician and dancer from Madras, India," Rao said.

"He and his wife have been artists-in-residence at UCO since 1995. Students will be given a great opportunity to experience Indian culture through his presentation."

Narasimhachari said that he began dancing at the age of five with his older brother M.V. Anand after being influenced by .

their father, who was a dancer and composer.

"At that time young boys were chosen to play the part of female characters," said Narasimhachari.

"Some of the smaller villages in India still carry on this tradition."

Narasimhachari said that in I 969 he and his wife, Vasanthalakshmi, opened a school for modern dance called the Kala Samarpana Foundation.

They have produced 22 dance dramas which they have performed throughout the world, he said.

"For the last thirty years I have been on tour for - -least three to four months out of the year," said Narasimhachari.

"It makes me very happy to give demonstrations and lec-

tures. I am always so busy that I barely have time to think about the things I miss in India."

Narasimhachari said his wife and their two daughters, Lavanya and Lasya, stayed in India to teach at their music and dance school.

According to Narasimhachari, he and his family perform and teach Bhara-tanatyam and Kuchipudi styles of Indian classical dance. He said he also plays the Mridangam, which is a South Indian classical drum.

• "Anytime that I am in the United States I always make it a point to visit UCO," said Narasimhachari.

Admission to Narasimhachari's presentation is _free. For further information call Dr. Rao at 348-2174 or 9742524.

Oklahoma vyes for the world's largest pb & j OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Oklahoma, known for its western heritage and college football prowess, may soon be able to brag about having the world's largest peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Mansion.

"We're going to build it, and they will certainly come," she said.

The sandwich will measure 8 feet by 8 feet and will be made the morning of the festival from a single loaf of bread, using Oklahoma products.

It will be sliced into bite size pieces for Septemberfest visitors after a representative of the Guinness Book of World Records has certified it as a new record, Keating said.

Mike Kubicek, executive secretary of the Oklahoma Peanut Commission, said Shawnee Milling Co. will provide flour and the peanut butter and jelly will come from Clement Foods.

El Reno Main Street will provide the oversized oven for preparation of the giant loaf. Visitors are

expected to eat the sandwich by 1 p.m.

Septemberfest began in 1997 after Gov. Frank Keating and his wife created Friends of the Mansion, Inc., a nonprofit organization that works to restore and preserve the Governor's Mansion.

The idea was to hold a familyoriented event featuring Oklahoma entertainers, products and crafts.

"Each year the crowds have grown and last year we estimated that more than 20,000 people came to visit," said Cathy Keating. "We certainly hope that future first families will continue this tradition."

Septemberfest includes tours of the governor's home, exhibits, games and attractions that cover the mansion grounds. The festival is free.

A man will stand trial on attempted murder for allegedly trying to kill a friend who had given him a "wedgie" during a Phish concert, a judge ruled.

Daniel Strouss, 19, of Richboro, held a grudge for months before shooting his friend, 19-year-old Eric Kassoway of Langhorne, with a 9 mm gun on June 12, authorities said.

Strouss was attending the concert about a year ago when Kassoway sneaked up behind him and yanked up his underwear, according to testimony at a hearing Thursday.

On the night of the shooting, Strouss drove to Kassoway's home and waited until Kassoway came home, then shot him in the arm and leg, authorities said. Kassoway nearly died from loss of blood.

LAPORTE, Ind. (AP) Officials from some northwest Indiana counties are looking for a new place to store decomposed bodies after the morgue they had been using stopped accepting the bodies due to excessive odor.

Authorities led by LaPorte County Coroner Dr. Vidya Kora want the county to provide a place where bodies can be kept in cold storage, the Post-Tribune of Merrillville reported Thursday.

Decomposed bodies from LaPorte, Porter and other nearby counties used to go to the morgue at Memorial Hospital in South Bend, but that hospital stopped accepting bodies from other counties several months ago after it became difficult to control the smell.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) A truck equipped with video screens airing commercials is attracting attention from Myrtle Beach residents and criticism from city officials.

The Motion Media truck belongs to Ty Hulsey and Scott Ridenhour, owners of Charlotte-based Motion Media and Extreme Photo.

"It's fun, it's visually exciting and it's different," Hulsey said. "It's a perfect fit for Myrtle Beach."

But it may also be a moving violation of Myrtle Beach law. The city prohibits vehicles used only for advertising and bans small ads posted atop taxis.

Ridenhour said the Motion Media truck has found a loophole by carrying photographic supplies.

Signs and logos on the sides of vehicles are acceptable, as long as the vehicle is used for some other purpose, said zoning administrator Mandy Todd.

by Timber Massey tm@thevistaonline.com any UCO students are probably familiar with the band Spider Douglas.

"I wish we had an interesting story as to how we came up with the name," said singer/songwriter Jarrett Jobe.

"It just kind of came to us one day when we were practicing."

The band, which is made up entirely of UCO students and alumni, released their first full-length album in late February.

Spider Douglas was started two years ago by guitarist/songwriter Sean Ridenour, who Jobe calls the "sparkplug" of the band.

"I had been singing and playing guitar for a band called Platform Sam," said Ridenour.

"It was difficult for me to really put on a good show because I was always tied behind a microphone, which is why I called Jarrett. The guy never stops singing; everything comes out in notes. Not to mention that he is an inherent performer."

At first the band had a hard time finding members who were willing to devote the time needed to form a solid group.

"When you start a band it becomes your number one priority," said Jobe.

The band was completed when Jarrett's brother Jordan joined to play bass along with Jimmy Cornelius on guitar.

Their independently released CD "Magna Cum Laude" was recorded in Tulsa at Natura Digital Studios.

It is available at Randy's M & Ms and CD Warehouse.

"The CD has given us a chance to reach a lot of people who aren't able to come to the shoWs," said Jobe.

"It has really helped open a lot of doors for us as far as getting our name out."

Ridenour said, "We didn't want to play out of state without a CD because it would be pointless to travel places and have people like us but not be able to show their friends what

"Now when we play shows out of the state we have something to leave behind, even if we end up giving away the CDs for free."

"We are really not in it for the money, sometimes it's just nice to make enough gas money to get us home after a show," said Ridenour.

Jobe said, "We would love to be able to make a living by playing our music but if that doesn't

happen at least we had fun while we were doing it."

The band likes to play live as much as possible, he said. They have performed throughout the metro area as well as in Dallas and Springfield.

UCO volleyball teammates face-off, but remain true to colors

by Kelley Chambers kc@thevistaonline.com The new and improved UCO women's volleyball squad hit the court for their first public appearance on Saturday, August 24 playing four intense intrasquad games at Hamilton Fieldhouse.

The games were a chance to work out any last kinks, fine tune the team and debut new players before they head to Florida to open the season at the North Florida Invitational in Jacksonville.

Players were divided into two teams the Blue and the Bronze. Coaches split the teams evenly by pairing seasoned veterans with younger players to face each other in a best out of five series.

At the end, the Bronze team in white shirts defeated the Blue team 3-1.

Head coach Mark Herrin was happy with the day's games and said that practice has been going very well.

His players have remained injury free and the new players have been very responsive to everything they've been asked to do, he said.

Coming off of last year's 268 championship season, Herrin said that he believes his girls have what it takes to once again bring home championship this season.

"Any coach will tell you that you need to be a little bit lucky, get the breaks and avoid the injuries. If they'll be as focused as they were last year, they should be there at the end,"

No.1 offense and defense clash in scrimmage

by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com The intrasquad scrimmage held Saturday morning August, 24 at Wantland Stadium could be called a success from both sides of the ball.

Tarik Abdullah did most of the damage on offense making several runs early right through the Broncho defense.

Later on, the defense made some big plays to stop the powerfiil UCO offense.

"I was pretty pleased with how the offense and defense worked today. The defense is really working hard and if they can just stay healthy this season, we could be much better on that side of the ball," said coach Gary Howard.

The srimmage was labeled a success by most of the team, but Dee Dee Carter said they could have performed a little better.

"We could have done some things better. We definitely dropped some balls on offense and the defense could have been better," Carter said.

The Bronchos ran 59 plays in the scrimmage, with the No.

The second meeting between the starting units went to the defense, which gave up just 19 yards in 10 plays.

The defense got big plays from defensive end Danny Nephew, who had two tackles for loss, and linebacker Evan Helvey.

Cornerback Richard Prince broke up passes to highlight the No. 1 defense in its second try against the top offense.

Abdullah finished the scrimmage with 70 yards on six carries, while Johnson was 6-of-10 passing for 44 yards.

The second and third-team offenses combined for 152 yards in 40 plays, hitting 7-of14 passes for 87 yards and rushing 26 times for 65 yards.

Back-up cornerback Vince Hall had the only touchdown of the day with an interception and 55-yard return, while end Josh Epperson had a sack.

After the sounds of the scrimmage died down, the Bronchos left the field with an overall sense of satisfaction.

1 offense going against the No. 1 defense for two series and the second- and thirdteam units also going headto-head for a pair of series.

The Bronchos will have one more tune-up scrimmage on Tuesday night, before they open the 2002 season on Thursday, Sept. 5 against Western Washington.

Abdullah, UCO's starting tailback this season, had runs of 31 and 38 yards in the opening series as the offense moved the ball inside the 20yard line twice.

Instead of trying for the touchdown, UCO decided to kick a field goal both times.

Ryan Lopez hit a 36-yard field goal and David Goodson missed from 38 yards out in place of regular place-kicker A.J. Haglund, who was suffering from a hamstring injury.

The No. 1 offense racked up 102 yards in nine plays in its first try against the top defense. Quarterback Erick Johnson hit 3-of-4 passes for 26 yards in addition to Abdullah's runs.

Big man on campus plans to complete collegiate career at UCO

by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com One man who needs no introduction on the Central Oklahoma campus is split end Dee Dee Carter.

After his explosive season on the football field last year, the whole state and all of the Lone Star Conference knows his name by heart.

During his sophomore season, Carter completely took over the Lone Star Conference and most of UCO's wide receiver records.

He set single-season school records for receptions (76) and broke a LSC record with 1,469 yards.

On top of all this, Carter had eight touchdowns including one for 90 yards.

He made all this happen on a football team that finished the season with a disappointing 3-8 record.

Photo Services "I love this offense at Dee Dee Carter celebrating a touchdown run last year.

UCO. Coach Massey has a lot of confidence in me and receiving the ball for touchthat only makes me better downs. He only played out there on the field," offense three times in high Carter said. school.

Carter, a junior 6-foot-1 It took the UCO coaching wide receiver from El Reno, staff to see his potential on hasn't always been the man the offensive side of the ball

and now he loves it.

"I love to go after the ball and make the big plays.

Scoring touchdowns is what I love to do now," Carter said.

With all this talent, people may wonder why Carter wouldn't transfer to a Division I school like Oklahoma or Oklahoma State, where he could play against the best of the best.

Well, stop wondering because he likes it just fine where he is.

"I absolutely love it here.

The coaching staff is great, my teammates are great, wouldn't leave this school for the world,"he said.

This season should be another successful one for Carter, who is already a preseason favorite to win this year's Harlon Hill Trophy.

With two more seasons left of college, Carter says he has big plans after graduation.

• "I fully intend to play foot- right there ready to take on ball in the NFL," he said. that challenge."
