"All of the graphic design faculty, some of the art department, the dean and other professionals designers have been invited, and are expected to attend," Graphic Design Professor, Keith Weber said.

Seniors under the guidance of Larry Hefner, use parts of undergraduate course work and rework it throughout the year to be shown at the exhibit, which is planned for each graduating class.

The title of the exhibit was a collaborative effort of the seniors. Promotional flyers were sent out to Ad agencies and design agencies primarily, in the Oklahoma City area.

Declaration to make exit stop on campus

by Sherrod Wall Staff Writer In conjunction with the American Democracy Project, Central will host one of the original Declaration of Independence manuscripts and related events Dec. 6.

More than 50 guest speakers will take turns reading the historical document, which will be displayed for the public from 7 to 9 p.m. in Constitution Hall of the Nigh University Center.

Central spokesperson Charlie Johnson said the doaiment was originally intended to be read aloud because, when the document was created, the public was not well versed in reading.

"To help people understand what the declaration is about, a student actor will play Abigail Adams to explain portions of the declaration," Johnson said. Invited

readers of the document include Gov. Brad Henry, Mayor Sandra Naifeh of Edmond, Oklahoma Supreme Court Justice Marion Opala, KFOR reporter Quin Tran, nurse Cheryl McKay, Edmond Sun publisher John Tucker, UCO Faculty Senate President Mary Brodnax, UCO provost and vice president of Academic Affairs Don Betz, UCOSA President Kate Thrift, entrepreneur and businessman Vince Orza, other various political figures, members of the media, police officers, and the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America.

The Liberachi Quartet, Central's brass quartet, will play at the beginning of the program.

"Just to see a part of our country's history is phenomenal," Johnson said. "We hope that our program will help us understand what Jefferson called an 'expression of the American mind. )5,

Design seniors host 'Graphically Speaking' clearly and effectively to the intended audience, in order to change their perceptions. It is visually communicating a thought, idea, message or belief it is graphically speaking.

Each student's provides business cards that they hope professionals will pick up.

"It has been really successful, students have been given jobs based on their presentations," Webb said.

The seniors are given a whole week to prepare their exhibit at the art center. The seniors paint the walls and arrange and divide the wall space the have been allotted.

"There are so many intricate details that are involved that it becomes a real working event," said Clint Walkingstick a graphic design senior.

"Students coordinate with each other and students run the show," Walkingstick said.

"It's the best way to do it.

We have the best school of design in the state because it's done this way and it impresses everyone," said Walkingstick.

Anyone is welcome to attend the exhibit even though the basic purpose is to get the senior's name out to professionals. Friends and families of the seniors come and see what they have done for the past four years. The exhibit is also good for potential students.

"It's a nice way to end the school curriculum, a chance to put all effort to a professional standard one last time before they step out," Weber said.

"Students make connections and a lot of students have gotten big jobs from the shows, Walkingstick said.

"Sometimes students decide to create their own ad agency by making their own connections and getting their gears in motion."

Those displaying work are Christina Fesmire, Jennifer Galloway, Erin Henry, Mikasa Hopper, Detra Humphrey, Donita Humphrey, Johnny Hong Kyu Kang, Kevin Kibbe, Kristi Kenney, Leslie Little, Jennifer Mangiliman, Lacey Thomas, Clint Walkingstick and Brandee Yates.

UCOSA restructures House

by Rick Russick Staff Writer

April Atkinson, broadcasting junior, shops in the University Bookstore Dec. Z.

A bill to restructure the UCOSA House of Representatives passed the student senate Nov. 17.

If approved by the House, a new campus organization called the Commuter Student Association will be formed, splitting the House into three equal subdivisions.

The other two organizations will be the Residence Hall Association and Greek Life.

Student Senator Nicholas Harrison said that the restructuring of the House seemed necessary because student interests are not being represented.

"Since UCO is comprised of many commuters," Harrison said, "it only seems logical that there should be an organization that represents them."

Speaker of the House Joe Garvey questioned the bill, voicing concerns over how well students will be represented.

"I am wondering how well this plan is going to work," Garvey said. "For one thing, the Commuter Student Association is brand new, and Harrison is its only member."

Garvey also voiced concerns over the way the organizations are being divided.

"The Greek Life organization only represents about 6 percent of campus, yet they will be given equal power to the commuters, who represent a much larger percentage of the school's population," he said.

Garvey said giving a smaller percentage more power seems unfair to those who have a greater representation.

Harrison said that the actual dividing lines, within the House,

are only a proposal and that if the House has any ideas on the subject, they are welcome to present them.

When asked why the Senate (instead of the House) wrote the bill, Harrison said that the House had never really put any ideas on the table.

"Garvey's idea of leadership is sitting back and saying, 'That sounds good to me,"' Harrison said.

Garvey said that restructuring the House has been a concern since before the bill was ever written and that a proposed joint meeting is set for January.

"To be honest," he said. "I just knew that students interests needed to be better represented and this is a way to do it."

"If Garvey has a better idea, then certainly it will be considered."

Dear Lisa,

I've been trying to meet a man on the Internet for quite a while, and have recently tried Quickdating. I have the same kinds of experiences repeatedly -- guys decide before we even talk on the phone or meet that they're too busy for a relationship, or they say they've met someone else -- only to reappear on Match.com in a week or so. These are guys who approached ME, mind you.

Thanks, Is It Me? Dear Is It Me, I'd like you to re-read your letter, because I'm seeing a really distinct pattern here, and I'm wondering how you're missing it.

Let me break it down for you — Guys are interested in you online, and then after communicating with you, they lose interest. Guys are inter : ested in you at Quickdating, and after spending a date with you, they lose interest. This, unfortunately, seems to be a pattern. To-answer' your question, no, I don't think it's the venue (Quickdating or online dating) because the only common factor in those two scenarios is you.

Something is happening between the initial attraction and the process of dating, and without tagging along on one of your dates, I'm probably not going to be able to pinpoint it. However, I'd guess it's something pretty serious if a man would rather buy a new pair of glasses than spend 10 minutes to swing by your place to pick up the ones he left.

Your Quickdate date was sending you a few clear signals at the end of the date (the kiss on the forehead, no suggestion at getting together again, abandoning his eyewear) that he doesn't want to see you again, so I think calling would be pretty fruitless. I also think the chances of him doing a play-by-play on your date so you can learn from your mistakes is pretty slim. So, I'd let this one go.

That said, I'm guessing your dating strategy is a little off-kilter somewhere. Are you too clingy? Are you more interested in finding a groom than meeting someone great? Are you insecure? (You mentioned you were sure your "match" at Quickdating had other "matches" as well — of course he did — most people meet an average of six matches at an event, the question is, why does that matter to you?)

I think the best suggestion would be for you to objectively look over your emails to the men you met online who initially contacted you and then disappeared to see if you can spot a pattern — I'd especially be looking for the last few emails before things hit the skids. If you can't see what's causing the trouble, ask a friend to help. Once you pinpoint the problem, try to solve it. That might mean focusing more on your own life and what makes you happy before you try to find a relationship, toning down a "do-you-want-to-get-married-or-not-

Now my most recent conundrum. I met a guy I liked at Quickdating, and we were a "match" (I'm sure he had several others), and went out on a five-hour date (after talking on the phone for 2 1/2 hours a few days prior.) I KNOW we were both having a good time, we laughed a lot, and even cuddled a little -- but when he left, he kissed me on the forehead and said goodbye. No word of calling, getting together again, nothing. He even left his glasses at my place and when I called him on his cell phone right after he left, he said he'd just buy another pair (not, I'll just get them when I see you next!). What is going on here? Why would he spend that much time, seeming to really enjoy himself, knowing I was enjoying myself and not want to at least keep the door open to getting together again? And the other big question is, whether I should eventually call him. I feel like if nothing else, I need to learn from these confusing experiences. Any ideas? Do you think these kinds of things happen frequently to other women meeting online or through speed dating?

because-my-clock-is-ticking" approach, or whatever else seems to be the problem.

The good news is, you don't seem to have trouble attracting men you are interested in. I'm sure you're really a great person -- you may just need to work a bit on your dating game.

Kisses, Lisa

Sigma Lambda Gamma increases breast cancer awareness with 'Breast Cancer Workshop'

by Rachael Tully Staff Writer

of Breast MRI of Oklahoma, served as the featured speaker of the event.

Nearly 20 students listened as Stough spoke and then answered questions from the all-female audience.

"Many girls in college are afraid of breast cancer," Stough said. "They think that it can never happen, even though it does."

Stough explained the importance of self-breast exams and yearly mammograms.

"Women should start getting yearly mammograms at the age of 30 to 35," she said. "The earlier the detection, the better the chance we have to beat it."

Breast cancer affects many families each year, Stough said.

"Statistics say that one in eight women will develop breast cancer," she said.

The women of Sigma Lambda Gamma national sorority held "We all have mothers and sisters," she said. 'The education we a "Breast Cancer Workshop" educating Central students on prepossess has the power to influence each member of our families." ventative measures in the University Center Nov. 20.

Herrera recalled a personal experience with breast cancer.

Dr. Rebecca Stough, director of imaging and clinical director "My mother works at the University of Oklahoma Health Center and she lost her best friend (her co-worker) to breast cancer," she said.

"All of a sudden, she found a lump and it spread so fast," Herrera said.

Lisa Obregon, senior criminal justice and Spanish major, said she had also suffered personally from the effects of breast cancer.

"My mother fought the disease for almost ten years," she said.

The workshop reinforced the importance of preventive exams and self-checks, Obregon said.

"I know my mom would be proud of me," she said.

"Tonight encouraged everyone to learn more about breast cancer."

Salica Whiggins, post-graduate Spanish major, said the philantrophy program united her sorority sisters.

"Tonight I felt comfortable," she said. "Our group is very diverse, but it's all about sisterhood."

"These girls are here whenever I need someone to talk to or to support me," Whiggins said.

Sigma Lambda Gamma's philantrophy is breast cancer and awareness and support, Castellanos said.

"Our girls had a jump-a-thon a couple of weeks before our workshop to raise money for the Susan G. Komen research center," she said. Donations from the jump-athon reached nearly $200, she said.

NEWS Fashion Finds with jiff ACCen Besides the songs, the snow, the presents and the meaning...the holidays are decorated with a lot fun fashion. With all the parties and festivities during the holidays, it is important to wear the appropriate clothing for all the different events.

During the day, when it's cold and the wind is blowing and you're fighting the conditions on your way to your classes, you can still look fashionable. As much as some of you enjoy the wind-blown look, you don't always have to look as if you've been in a tornado. Those of you who just roll out of bed in the nick of time for class know what I'm talking about.

Beanies are the in thing right now. Wearing a colorful hat to hide that bed head is a great way to keep up with the fashion trends without trying too hard. If you accompany the beanie with a matching scarf, you can make just about any outfit look well put together.

For the girls, bright, colorful sweaters are popular. It's a great way to stay warm and look cute. Instead of wearing jeans everyday, adding a couple of pants in different colors to your wardrobe will broaden your outfit choices. Red, orange, and blue are great colors right now.

Party invitations should start overflowing your mailbox soon, so it's best to prepare your wardrobe now.

Guys, your clothing is versatile for the different events.

For a festivity that takes place during the day, a sweater, or button-up shirt hanging out over a pair of jeans is a good choice.

For the evening, wear slacks

or nice khakis instead of jeans and you'll be set to go. To add a sleek look to your evening outfit, you can wear a nice jacket, whether it's a casual sports coat or a nice leather jacket (not fighter jacket style.) The coat should hang below your belt line and hang straight instead of tapering in towards your body.

Ladies, your options are more open. For nice daytime events, casual slacks and a fun sweater or top would be suitable. Button-down shirts with polka dots are popular right now. You can dress up an outfit if you wear a diamond necklace, earrings, or bracelet.

Claire's Boutique always has great cubic zirconium jewelry perfect for the occasion.

Eveningwear can be even more fun to work with. Corset tops are really hot right now.

For a cold night you can wear a scarf around your shoulders for a warmer look. If the scarf is sheer, you will still be able to keep the sexy look.

Fun, vibrant colors are always great for the holidays. Using color or sequins in you outfit can dress up your look a lot.

If all else fails, black is a safe color and you can accessorize it with jewelry or a scarf.

Dresses and skirts are most classy when they hit the middle calf or ankle. Anything hitting above the knee is too much for the winter months besides, your poor knees will freeze.

Remember, even though you may be at a party, you still need to dress for the season.

Shoes are an important part of you holiday outfit. Many question whether you should

wear open-toed shoes around the holiday season. I say, think about your comfort first. If your toes will freeze all night as their hanging out in the cold, buy closed-toed shoes.

Closed shoes can be just as cute. A thin heel makes every outfit look dressier.

Purses can make or break an outfit. Although many of you may ditch your bag during the evening, you want it to compliment your outfit as you carry it. A small, evening purse is best suited for fancy gatherings. The most important thing to remember...don't carry a large bag. If you're not traveling, don't carry a luggage-sized bag. Small and dainty is the best choice, all you really need for a party is touch up makeup, lipstick and money for a cab...in case you get in a bind.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Years, and Happy Shopping!

by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer No. 20 UCO finished the 2003 football season with a 49-6 loss to mighty No. 3-ranked Texas A&MKingsville in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II playoffs Saturday at Javelina Stadium.

Despite being handed their worst defeat since 1976, the Bronchos finished a solid 9-3 under first-year head coach Chuck Langston and made their first appearance in the NCAA playoffs since 1999.

"I'm extremely proud of this football team for the season we had," said Langston. "To be 9-3 and in the second round of the playoffs in our first year is a great foundation for our program."

Fellow Lone Star Conference team TAMU-Kingsville improved to 11-1 with its eleventh straight win and will move into the semifinals to face defending national champion Grand Valley State next week.

"Kingsville has a great, great football team and they'll represent the Lone Star Conference well next week," Langston said. "Their offensive line and defensive line controlled the game today, no doubt about it. I hope they go on and win a national championship for the league."

Both teams had uncharacteristic days in the turnover column as the Bronchos committed six in the

game including three first half interceptions by senior quarterback Erick Johnson while the Javelinas, who entered the game with 30 giveaways in 11 games, had none.

Johnson's first interception came on a throw to the end zone late in the first quarter when the Bronchos had a first-and-ten from the Kingsville 35. Kingsville's Eddie Morton downed the interception for a touchback.

The Javelinas took over at their own 20 and proceeded to drive 80 yards in just three plays for the touchdown. It was their third score in as many possessions making the score 18-0.

The Bronchos would again find themselves threatening inside Kingsville territory after taking the ensuing kickoff and driving 44 yards in 11 plays.

With a second-and-seven from the Kingsville 36. Johnson's pass would again find Morton who returned his second interception 30 yards to the UCO 39.

Central's defense forced the Javelinas to go three-and-out for the Bronchos first stop of the afternoon.

But again, the Javelinas' Jason Lee would intercept Johnson's pass on the Bronchos next possession and Kingsville continued to roll for the rest of the second quarter on their way to a comfortable 32-0 halftime lead.

The second half would be much the same story with the Javelinas

pulling away to a 49-0 lead into the fourth quarter before the Bronchos finally managed a touchdown with 7:49 to play.

Starting at their own 34 after a 14-yard kickoff return by Chad McGaugh the Bronchos went 66 yards in just seven plays taking only 1:47 to score but were unable to come up with the two-point conversion as Johnson's pass to Bruce Shields was knocked away by Lee. The drive was highlighted by a Johnson to Dee Dee Carter pass completion for 38 yards to put the Bronchos in scoring position inside the Kingsville 15.

Central would get the ball back again on their own 36-yard line with 5:14 to play. Johnson tried for the home run ball on the first play but it was intercepted again by Lee who was tackled immediately at the Kingsville 33 and the long pass proved to be as good as a punt.

Central's defense held on three plays, and both offenses didn't throw another pass after that and time was allowed to run out on the Bronchos 2003 season.

Johnson finished 8 of 21 for 104 yards to move into third place on UCO's career passing list despite a dark day for himself and the Broncho offense that was without star running back Jarrod Manoy for all but one possession of the game due to a nagging hamstring injury.
