TODAY IN HISTORY In 1945, the so-called "Lost Squadron," a group of U.S. Navy Avenger bombers, took off from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, never to be seen again. The planes and their 11 crewmen were popularly believed to have vanished in the "Bermuda Triangle," and were later depicted in Stephen Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

he class weaves through the mock Grecian pillars that dot the lawn of Howell Hall like tombstones in an ancient graveyard.

The five columns are strategically lined up in a row, each displaying some amount of manufactured decay.

The first two columns are broken in half.

With their jagged faces pointing in opposite directions, they confront feared forces of ignorance that attack the university from the north and south.

The next column towers over its war-torn colleagues covered in pristine white. The base, shaft and capital seem capable of withstanding the pressure of tons of concrete and marble, but the only weight placed upon it is the pressure of the air around it. With a flick of my fingernail, however, the impostor is unmasked. A shocking Pepto-Bismal pink surface emerges from beneath the clean white exterior.

The final two columns in the row stand together supporting a triangular roof, but they too lack utility. The overhanging roof does not cover anything — it is merely ornamentation.

The other columns on campus also vary in size, stature and manufactured decay. Giant and petite columns have been built into the exterior of a red brick building. Ornate Grecian columns in the center of the Education Building battle with crayon red light fixtures in the glassenclosed stairways for attention. Six massive columns dwarf the students lounging in the foyer of Howell Hall.

So many columns, so much mock decay.

Why? Former UCO President George Nigh hired an architectural firm to design the columns as an illustration of the type of education available at the university. What would Socrates or Aristotle have thought of his efforts? When they were educated over two millennia ago, it was not in the midst of the ruins found in Greece today.

When will we learn that impostor pillars of the past possess paltry power? These columns are merely mock relics of the past — they cannot impart learning to the students who see this odd site. Education emanates from the energy of enthusiastic educators, not architectural embellishments. •

Campus phone operators keep communications alive

BY MENA GANESAN

Staff Writer

U

nderneath the mass of reading materials and reference books in Max Chambers Library resides one of the most inconspicuous departments at UCO. The ladies of Basement Room 002 serve as the pulse of campus life by simply answering phone calls 17 hours a day, seven days a week.

UCO telephone operators Dorothy Malone and Marilyn Walsh have each spent over 15 years at the university providing students, faculty and staff with information regarding everything from campus phone numbers to finding a babysitter.

"These girls have to work even if the campus is closed for bad weather," said Telecommunications Director Ron Beard. "If they can't get here, campus police will pick them up and bring

them to work."

Two years ago, the telecommunications department was moved from the basement of Murdaugh Hall to the library. The ladies processed at least 1000 calls an hour for the first three weeks after the move.

"Our throats were sore at the end of everyday," Walsh said.

Still, Malone and Walsh persevere to keep the UCO campus informed.

"These ladies are the heartbeat of the university," Beard said.

In a plush, baby blue, windowless office, Malone and Walsh not only direct calls to campus departments but also provide the UCO community with some rather unusual requests.

"When George Nigh was president, he called the operator and asked if we could look out the window and tell him if the pizza place across the street was open. We were in the basement of Murdaugh Hall

then," said Malone.

"One of the weirdest things that I can remember happening was on a Friday when there was a snow blizzard, a student called on Friday afternoon to find out if class was canceled on Monday," Walsh said.

Both Walsh and Malone are former UCO students and have been in the Edmond area most of their lives.

Malone took some classes at UCO in 1957 and returned in 1985 as full-time operator after retiring from Southwestern Bell.

"I love it up here," she said. "We get to meet a lot of nice people. I had never been around international students before and we have made several friends and some of them we still keep in touch with."

Walsh graduated from UCO in 1978 with a B.A. in home economics and continued her stay here as operator.

KCSC programming director Kent Anderson during his on-air shift.

CSC-FM, UCO's public radio station, attained their fundraising goal of $90,000 on Nov. 10 with five hours remaining in their 10day fundraiser.

"Support for our public radio station is extraordinary," said Brooke Harry III, underwriting director for KCSC. "We had a higher than usual number of new contributors during this fundraiser with great support coming from the university and throughout the community."

During the 19th hour of the last day of the fundraiser, a listener contributed $750 to put the amount exactly at the station's goal of $90,000.

In order to continue broadcasting, KSCS must rely in part on listener donations which are accumulated through fundraisers in November and March. This

November's fundraiser was unique because Oklahoma City radio station KMGL, Magic 104.1 collaborated with KCSC to support the fundraising drive.

"I'm not aware of this kind of partnership existing anywhere, certainly not in this market, said Brad Ferguson, KCSC general manager. "Their participation dramatically improved our exposure, and we hope, our support base."

The $90,000 will be used to pay salaries of KCSC employees, program expenses, compact discs, purchasing and maintaining radio equipment, and "everything it takes to operate a radio station," said Ferguson.

KCSC, 90.1 FM, broadcasts classical music 24 hours a day from their studios in the UCO Communications Building.

The same programming is also carried via satellite in McAlester on KBCW, 91.9 FM. •

SPORTS Sophomore standout lone placer at annual Las Vegas Invitational first-round loss made Muhammed Lawal do things the hard way, but Central Oklahoma's sophomore standout responded in impressive fashion at the 19th annual Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational Dec. 2.

Lawal finished sixth at 184 pounds as UCO's lone placer in the rugged two-day tournament that attracted 52 teams, including most of the country's top Division I programs.

UCO was in 24th place with 36.5 points heading into Saturday night's finals and the No. 4-ranked Bronchos were second behind No. 2 North Dakota State among the 10 Division II teams in the field.

Lawal, who dropped a 9-8 decision in "This is a great tournament Friday's first round, came back to win six with a lot of great teams straight consolation matches before losing a talented individuals and tough 6-5 decision in there are no easy the semifinals to No. 2 seed Rob Rohn of matches."

Lehigh.

Lawal lost another heart-breaker in the David James UCO coach fifth-place match, falling 3-1 in overtime to No. 3 seed Cash Edwards of Boise State.

"Muhammed did a great job, especially coming back like he did after losing his first match," UCO coach David James said. "He really put himself in a bind having to go all the way through the consolations like that, but he grinded out some tough wins and showed what kind of competitor he was.

"He's a young guy who's still learning, but he made a good account of himself this weekend and will just keep getting better and better."

Lawal gave up a takedown at the second-period buzzer to fall behind 7-4 in the 9-8 first-round loss Friday morning, then rebounded with four consolation victories Friday night to stay in medal contention.

The Plano, Texas sophomore used a five-point thirdperiod to pull out a 7-3 win in his first consolation match, then had 10 takedowns in winning his next three bouts with relative ease.

—

Lawal returned Saturday morning and had two takedowns in a 5-2 win over No. 8 seed Josh States of Buffalo and a clutch second-period reverse in a 3-2 quarterfinal win over Southern Oregon's Dan Sturgell before falling to Rohn.

UCO had two other individuals make it to Saturday in 133-pounder Cole Province and 141-pounder Joe Schneider.

Province, a redshirt freshman from Claremore, breezed to 14-1 and 8-1 victories to make the second round before falling to No. 2 seed and returning Division I AllAmerican Todd Beckerman.

That dropped Province into the consolations, but the hard-nosed youngster responded with easy wins of 7-0 and 9-2 Friday night to stay alive, then was eliminated Saturday morning when a 7-1 Schneider, a senior from Washington, Mich., had an 8-2 first-round victory before falling 5-4 in the second round to Brown's Dave Dies on a riding time point.

The senior All-American came back in consolations late Friday night with two close wins, including a clutch 2-1 victory over North Dakota State's Jake Theilbar to avenge a first-round loss to Theilbar in last year's Division II national tournament.

Schneider was knocked out of the tournament in his first match Saturday morning with a 13-4 loss to No. 6 seed Matt Goldstein of Lehigh.

UCO's other seven individuals were eliminated Friday.

Sophomore 157-pounder H.M. Chapman won three matches, while 125-pounder Mark Dodgen, 149-pounder Gable Sullivan, 174-pounder Dennis Parker, 197-pounder T.J. Tallent and heavyweight Jeremy McCoy all won two matches.

"This is a great tournament with a lot of great teams talented individuals and there are no easy matches," James said. We lost some matches early that I felt we should have won, which was disappointing, but hopefully we're learning that you have to be ready to go a full seven minute match every time you step on the mat."

Coach, players earn honors C antral Oklahoma women's soccer coach Mike Cook has been named NCAA Division II Great Plains Regional Coach of the Year, with high-scoring forward Sally Holmes a first-team selection on the All-Region Team.

The all-region teams and coaches were selected by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). The NCAA Division II National Coach of the Year will be voted on from among the eight regional coaches of the year, with first-team all-region players going on the All-America ballot.

Cook, a former college standout and professional player, has guided UCO to back-to-back winning seasons in the first two years of the program after being named UCO's first-ever women's soccer coach in December 1997.

He officially took over the reigns of the program on Jan. 19, 1998. He quickly put together a schedule and recruited several top-notch players in getting the Bronchos ready for their initial season of competition.

Cook took over at UCO when the school added soccer just three years ago and he led the Bronchos to a 21-3 record, the Lone Star Conference championship and the quarterfinals ofthe Division II playoffs this season.

Cook has a 45-17-1 record at UCO and is 133-39-1 in eight years as women's head coach. He went 88-22-

1 in five years at Southern Nazarene, winning NAIA Southwest Regional Coach of the Year recognition three times.

Holmes was an unstoppable force for the Bronchos in 2000, scoring an LSC-record 81 points on a leaguerecord 35 goals and 11 assists. She was the LSC Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight season and set conference career records for goals (56) and points (129) in just two years.

She started her career at Oklahoma State, spending two years there before transferring to UCO in 1998.

She missed her first season with the Bronchos with an injury, but came back in impressive fashion last year.

She was also a three-year standout at Memorial High School in Edmond and was named Daily Oklahoman Big All-City selection for the Bulldogs.

UCO also had three second-team All-Great Plains Region players — sophomore forward Kim Brown, junior midfielder Jeorgia McGinty and sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Vogel.

Brown was second in the league in scoring with 45 points, making 18 goals and adding nine assists.

McGinty had a league-leading 14 assists and added six goals for 26 points, while Vogel allowed just 20 goals and posted 13 shutouts this season.

Professor honored with surprise party, scholarship

BY SARAH DAVIS

I

Staff Writer

he Richard A. Peters Scholarship has been established by the Applied Liberal Arts program in honor of Dr. Richard A. Peters, history and geography professor.

The scholarship will be given out on a yearly basis to applied liberal arts majors with a good GPA and other outside skills and abilities.

Peters served as chairman of the history department from 1968 to 1982. From 1983 to 1996, he was the director of the Applied Liberal Arts program.

"Dr. Peters was a founding father of the applied liberal arts program," said Dr. Siegfried Heit, current director of the program.

The program has about 30 to 36 majors graduate per year. The minimum GPA is 2.5.

Majors in the program take courses in

Biting the bullet

communications, foreign language, public relations, business communication, finance, management, marketing, career preparation/computer skills and 24 upper-level credit hours in liberal arts.

"Applied Liberal Arts majors need to know communication skills and how to meet with other professionals. Each individual major is a little different so it takes time to work with each student," Heit said.

A surprise birthday party for Peters's 70th birthday was held from 1 to 3 p.m on Dec. 2 at the First United Methodist Church Christian Activity Center in Edmond.

Faculty and friends of Peters attended the party where tax-deductible donations were accepted in his honor.

"We have the seed money for the scholarship already. We'd like to offer several in the future with the money we gain from the interest," Heit said.

For more information, call Heit at 974-5633. •

Rapper gets more than McNuggets at McDonalds

BY MARTIN MBUGUA

Wire Reporter

stop at the Golden Arches has landed fugitive rapper 01' Dirty Bastard back behind bars.

The Wu-Tang Clan rapper was arrested Monday night when two Philadelphia cops recognized him sitting in a car in the parking lot of a McDonald's restaurant, police said.

"The government is trying to kill me," the 31-year-old entertainer, who was born Russell Jones, said Wednesday through his lawyer.

The troubled rapper — on the lam since bolting from a California drug treatment center last month — was spotted by cops as he sat in a Mitsubishi sedan outside a McDonald's in the industrial Gray's Ferry neighborhood.

Officers Becky Andeison and Charlene Joyner told fellow cops they know ODB's music and instantly recognized him.

"They are fans of his music, and they knew from media coverage that he's wanted," said Detective Frank Wallace.

The rapper tried to speed off in the car, but the cops quickly pulled him over — much to their delight.

"They were really interested to meet him," Wallace said. "It was a

A

neat experience for them."

The Staten Island, N.Y.-reared rapper was arraigned Tuesday on charges of being a fugitive from justice and held without bail. An extradition hearing was pending.

The burger-joint bust was the latest in a long string of legal problems for Jones, who also briefly went by the moniker Big Baby Jesus.

He has been arrested nine times in the last 13 months and faces several drug and motor vehicle charges in New York.

A California judge placed him on probation and ordered him to attend drug rehab for threatening to kill a club bouncer and for wearing a bulletproof vest in March 1999.

The rapper escaped from a Pasadena, Calif., drugrehabilitation center Oct. 17.

Despite his legal woes, Jones delighted hundreds of fans last week by showing up onstage for a cameo appearance during a WuTang Clan concert at Manhattan's Hammerstein Ballroom.

"I can't stay on stage too long tonight — the cops is after me," he told the crowd.

He also vowed to elude capture, saying he planned to become "like a bird," living off "birdseeds or whatever ... you'll see." •

Mexicans place hope in new president

DECEMBER 5, 2000

Testing tips offered

BY KARIN HICKENBOTHAM

BY ALFRED CORCHAFXY & LAURENCE IL1FF

Wire Reporters

A

fter generations of searching for their own democratic liberator, Mexicans on Friday will place their hopes in Vicente Fox, a rancher-turnedpolitician who once dreamed of bullfighting or preaching the Bible rather than leading 100 million Mexicans into a bloodless revolution.

In a ceremony at the National Palace, Fox will become the country's first leader in 71 years to come from outside the traditional ruling party. He will be the 63rd president in Mexico's tumultuous history since the Spanish Conquistadors were kicked out of power in 1821.

Perhaps more important, the 58-year-old Fox will usher in a new era for a country clamoring for change, as it cements its fledgling civil society while seeking a place in the global economy.

Like other nations making the transition from closed, semiauthoritarian societies, the stakes are high for Mexico. The country is trying to break out of its boom-bust economic cycles and develop a solid middle class --

two key concerns for the United States.

Like other groundbreaking figures, the man heading his nation's charge into the 21st century is the most unconventional of leaders. Friends and supporters describe him as a man of uncanny charm, both irreverent and populist, a gentleman politician and a man of the people. The last trait may be his strongest attribute, these observers say, as he plans the transformation of a corrupt and poverty-stricken society in the six years of his administration.

"Other than the pope, Vicente Fox is the only person I know who has a message for everyone," said Guanajuato Gov. Juan Carlos Romero Hicks, who holds Fox's old job. "Whether you're a student, a campesino, unemployed, middle class, or part of the elite, he has a message for you. That's why Fox is the right man for the right moment in history. He can bring us together."

How long his soaring popularity will last is anyone's guess. Fox's image as the new sheriff in the violent and corrupt wild, wild west of modern Mexico has raised voters' expectations to a feverish pitch. Supporters see him as larger than life, larger even than his 6 foot-4 inch frame. Critics see him as more style than substance.

Should he fail to deliver on his

promises, especially on raising living standards and reducing corruption, his ongoing love affair with the Mexican people could come to a grinding halt, analysts say.

"The Mexicans are like expectant parents and Fox is the baby inside of us," said Gustavo Madrazo Lopez, a plumber and part-time taxi driver. "Right now, we're all full of hope and excitement, but after Dec. 1 when Fox takes office, reality will hit us hard. He'll either disappoint us or turn out to be exactly what we needed."

It's been 36 years since a Mexican president took power without an economic or political scandal hanging over his head, so this transition feels like a party to millions of people. As part of the festivities, Fox is scheduled to ride around Mexico City in a transparent vehicle like the "Popemobile" of John Paul II. On Saturday, the party will continue as Fox plans to take his message to Oaxaca and Monterrey.

On Sunday, he goes to Guadalajara.

"We haven't had a celebration like this since the days of Maximiliano," said pollster Maria de las Heras, referring to the French-backed emperor of the 1860s. "This is the first time that people feel they have the right to celebrate." •

TESTING TIPS FOR

Student Writer

he department of testing services has some study and test taking strategies that may be helpful to students, considering final exams are just around the corner.

Even though students try and avoid it, the most commonly used strategy is "cramming" for a test.

Barbara Mills, coordinator for testing services said, "The best way to study for exams is to treat every exam as a final and prepare accordingly."

However, students have their own ideas when it comes to preparing for finals.

"I read and take notes while reading, I also quiz myself," Ebony Dallas, advertising sophomore.

Clint Walkingstick, a graphic design sophomore says he uses class notes to study for a test.

"It is also excellent when a professor earns the paycheck and gives out a study guide. Professors hate finals just as much as we do!"

"I take notes in one specific notebook then when I get home I recopy my notes from each class in a different notebook. I also use note cards when I have them," Gina Greenwood, photojournalism junior.

Jennifer Kay Smith, biology freshman agrees. "(I) read over notes until I have them memorized. Then I copy them back down."

"I study notes from class, do practice examples and read the book," Baron J Morvant, computer science graduate.

"I use notes. I will usually type my hand written notes. It's easier for me to read," Connie J. Thorton, art education senior.

When students where asked if their study habits change when taking a final rather than a regular exam a few replied: "Yes, because they (finals) influence your grade more than regular tests," Danny Trent, business administration freshman.

"No change, but I do study more," Brad Burleson, biology sophomore.

Tennille Gunter, elementary education junior, says that she doesnft change her habits because the final is basically the same type of test, but with more information and worth more points.

"No, because the way I study for a test usually does fine for me.

T

COLLEGE STUDENTS If taking an objective exam: ir Answer the easiest questions first and underline key words (if allowed to write on exam). irlf uncertain on true and false questions look for the words "all, never, always, everyone" and they're usually false. ir Words such as "frequently, probably, generally" are usually true.

If taking a multiple choice exam: Read _ each answer carefully and eliminate those obviously incorrect.

"When opposite statements appear in an answer, usually one is correct. '

If taking an essay exam: t•-Before writing create an informal outline (mind-mapping) ir Strive for organization and avoid choppiness. sir Practice using transition words like "therefore, also first and

.

Changing anything will just make me more anxious," Sheila Morvant, elementary education senior.

Chris Patterson, graphic design freshman says, "If I donit know the information by the time I test, I wonit know it in a day."

"Nope. I stick to the method that works best for me," said Walkingstick.

"I do. The final is usually worth a lot more toward my final grade... I know what grade I need to make... (and) study accordingly," Baron Morvant.

"Yes, I do study more and put more into it, cause it (the final) counts for more points usually," Marcy Priest, promotions management senior.

Dallas thinks the same about finals. "I just study harder and longer because if I flunk the final, I will flunk the class."

"No, (I) just study a lot longer and eat a lot more pizza," Zane Benson, accounting senior.

Before the exam a few tips may help in relieving anxiety: be prepared, have someone test you verbally, create a self-exam, breathe deep and exhale slowly.

Some last helpful hints are to eat right, get enough rest, limit chemical usage, and exercise regularly. •

Kinko's founder gives big bucks to Cal Poly University; Orfalea's $15 Million to benefit College of Business

BY FRANK MORAGA

Knight-Ridder Tribune In what is touted as the largest individual cash or stock donation ever recorded in the 23-campus California State University system, Kinko's founder Paul J. Orfalea and his family have made of gift of securities valued at $15 million to California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.

The donation, announced this week, will be directed toward the college of business to establish the Orfalea Family Endowment for Excellence, focusing on entrepreneurship, globalization and technology.

Kinko's is currently a privately owned corporation. The university will be able to cash out the stocks once the company goes public.

The contribution also includes a $5 million challenge gift to attract private support for the college and establish endowed professorships in critical areas, the university reported.

The university will seek approval from the California State University board of trustees Jan. 24 to name the college the Orfalea College of Business in honor of Paul Orfalea's parents. The dedication is expected to be held this spring.

"Cal Poly deserves recognition for encouraging its students to gain experience through hands-on internships and collaboration with businesses, enabling graduates to be well-equipped upon entering the business world," Orfalea stated in a release. "It is our hope that this gift will further endorse the mentoring between teachers and students that provides a

"Cal Poly is nicely poised for a strong program in entrepreneurship," he said. "This (donation) will boost us to a different league." Earlier this year, Orfalea donated $3 million for student scholarships to Westmont College, a small, private Christian liberal arts school in Santa Barbara. It was the third-largest donation ever given to the school.

The company he founded has also been active on the education front.

The Kinko's Partnership in Education Program has donated more than $2 million to educational programs and institutions in the last four years. •

Damaged Navy ship USS Cole to be disarmed in Yemen

he expected arrival of the injured USS Cole at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Miss., is only weeks away, but Navy and Ingalls officials are still tightlipped about the ship's location and the date of its arrival.

"The time line is still being discussed as it moves on to Pascagoula, and I have not even seen that time line," said Mike Zitko, public affairs officer for the Navy Supervisor of Shipbuilding Conversion and Repair in Pascagoula. "We're discussing the time line, the rules of what's going on after the arrival, and a communication plan — how we are going to communicate to the media and the public."

Speculation about dangerous amounts of spoiled food harboring bacteria that could pose a health hazard is probably unfounded, said Lt. Jane Alexander, of the Navy office of public affairs at the Pentagon.

"I don't foresee it being a public health issue," she said. "Ships have ways of dealing with and disposing of spoiled food. The ship's power was only off for a couple of days.

They probably disposed of it in the normal way that ships dispose of spoiled food, through the garbage system."

Zitko said that any spoiled food remaining on board the ship when it arrives in Pascagoula would be removed by people trained to handle it, possibly employees of the Food and Drug Administration.

"The proper officials have to go in there and offload it," he said.

"We're waiting to hear exactly what's going to be done." •

COSA recently wrote a resolution seeking immediate action concerning the condition of the music building.

"After every rainfall the basement of the Music Building is flooded with water. The water has damaged many of the instruments," said Jason Vaughn of the senate in the concurrent resolution 000-101.

"No action is being taken by administration. All they have done is talk about it," Vaughn said.

The resolution states the current state of the Music Building is not a good educational environment and atmosphere for a college class to be conducted.

Students feel that the issue should be addressed immediately, and plans should be drawn to solve flooding problems or build a new music building, according to the resolution.

The resolution also suggest a committee involving UCO members that will partner with

Physics department recognized UCO's students have been able to secure permanent positions, which is in no small part due to their applied emphasis," the AIP report said.

Highly-ranked programs in Category I have made strong efforts to create substantial professional physics master's options for students.

They grant more than three applied degrees a year, and the majority of graduates find secure employment in the industry.

"Industry is looking for problem solvers, people with the fundamental and applied background that will allow them to participate at all levels in the high-tech industries of the 21st century," Jassemnejad said.

Students in the program are currently encouraged to take at least six hours of management science to prepare them for industry work.

The UCO department of physics and engineering have developed an advisory board with representatives from business, government and the university to aid further development of the physics master's program.

"It doesn't stop here. We must continue to adapt to the dynamic world of industry and help our students prepare to meet the challenging and rewarding careers of the high-tech workplace," Jassemnejad said. •

Bush, Florida's GOP-heavy legislature edges closer to naming electors

BY MONICA DAVEY

I

Wire Reporter

he Republican-dominated Florida Legislature is edging closer to choosing the state's 25 delegates to the Electoral College itself, an unprecedented move drenched in political risks and alliances.

A GOP-leaning committee of state lawmakers is scheduled to decide Thursday on whether to recommend a special session, in which the Legislature could choose a slate of electors for Republican George W. Bush. That would attempt to remove any questions about Florida's electors from the courts, where Democrat Al Gore is hoping recounts in three counties might erase Bush's 537-vote lead in certified results.

On Wednesday, several Republican and Democratic members of the Select Joint Committee on the Manner of the Appointment of Presidential Electors said the special session was probably inevitable. It could even happen as early as next week, they said.

The final decision to call a special session rests with key Republican legislative leaders Tom

Pumpkins tickets fetch big bucks

BY CHARLIE MEYERSON

Chicago Tribune s the Smashing Pumpkins — arguably Chicago's most successful rock band — prepare to call it quits after 13 years, demand for tickets to the group's sold-out final two shows reached fever pitch Wednesday, Nov. 29.

The asking price for two fifthrow tickets to Wednesday's show at the United Center was $1,200 at midday on eBay. One ticket to Saturday's final, more intimate show at the band's first major showcase, the Metro, 3730 N. Clark St., was going for $1,500.

Metro owner Joe Shanahan, who first recognized the band's promise, said he'd been flooded with requests from friends and acquaintances.

"You find out you have lots of friends from fifth grade," he said.

And officials at the two Chicago radio stations most closely identified with the Pumpkins described interest in tickets as extraordinary, even though tonight's show will be broadcast on the radio and the Web. "The excitement is huge," said WKQX-FM 101.1 program director Dave Richards, whose station will put tonight's performance on-air and on the Internet beginning at 6 p.m.

"The Web site is out of control with people looking for tickets," he said. "We're getting an out-ofcontrol number of phone calls — the usual question, which is, 'I know you guys are getting so many calls, but if there's any chance ...'"

Hard Day's Night rereleased; director recalls its making

BY JAMI BERNARD

Wire Reporter

I

here are no extra bits," Richard Lester said firmly, and you can hear hearts breaking from Liverpool to Shea Stadium.

Lester, 68, directed the Beatles in "A Hard Day's Night" in 1964. The movie is being rereleased Friday with a digital assist and much fanfare, but, as he says, no extra bits. Not that we need them. It's enough to bask in the sheer energy of the film. Its fast and furious style laid the groundwork for MTV, the opening scenes of the first "Austin Powers" film and more.

The lads from Liverpool looked so relaxed in front of the camera (well, maybe not George Harrison) that you would think Lester shot the film with no script. In fact, there was one, by the late writer-actor Alun Owen, and it was Oscar-nominated.

Meanwhile, Gilbert Taylor's stunningly immediate black-and-white photography suggests nothing more or less than the frank realism of cinema verite.

Lester's innovative film has lost nothing in the intervening years. Although it has not gained anything in terms of additional footage, that's not to say there were no extra bits at one time.

"All four Beatles had a key scene on his own," recalled the now-retired Lester during a brief visit to New York between world cruises with his wife. "Ringo (Starr) was walking around with a dreadful hangover by the river, George had a scene

multiple cameras was the thing that made what I did different from the people who were my influences. The directors of the French New Wave used a single camera and shot their films in a very traditional way, although with great energy."

Lester also directed the Beatles in "Help!" (1965), Lennon in a serious acting role in "How I Won the War" (1967) and McCartney in his concert film "Get Back" (1991), so he is forever paired in film history with the Fab Four. But he directed other films, chief among them "The Knack" (1965), "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" (1966), "Petulia" (1968), "Robin and Marian" (1976), and various "Superman" and "Three Musketeers" jaunts.

Film is a young person's game, according to Lester. "I always said that if I went into a cinema and looked around and thought everyone was a hamster with a very fast metabolism anxious for the next cut, and I'm out of sync with them, that would be the time for me to stop," he said.

Advances in technology flummox him, he admits. "I always used to edit by having bits of film round my neck, looking for bits that we had cut out of it, two frames lying on the floor somewhere. Nowadays a 19year-old will say, "You want green?' And he makes it green. Or, "Don't worry about that police car, I'll get rid of it later.' And that's so foreign to me. I think my time is over. I had 40 years of filmmaking and television - I think that's reasonable enough. I can go off and have lunch now." •

Playboy cover creates controversy at high school newspaper

BY SHANNON KING

Knight-Ridder Tribune

C

OLUMBIA, S.C. The goal was to update students on a few graduates of Dutch Fork High School. But the result was nothing more than obscene, some parents say.

"As a mother it goes against everything I believe," said Greta "This district Bickley, who holds itself up as has a 14-yearold daughter being excellent in at Dutch Fork. "This terms of district holds academics and itself up as being this is the best excellent in they could come terms of academics up with." and this is the best they —Greta Bickley could come mother of Dutch Fork up with."

H.S. student The fuss is over a story that ran in the October edition of the school's student newspaper, The Renaissance. It included a photo of Dutch Fork graduate Lauren Hill, who posed for the cover of Playboy magazine's October 2000 issue.

Bickley and a few other parents question the newspaper's decision to print the Playboy cover in the newspaper.

Debra Milhous wrote a letter to the school newspaper staff saying that the photo was in poor taste.

"I didn't think it was appropriate for the students to print," said Milhous, who has two children at Dutch Fork.

"The damage has already been done and there's nothing they can do about it now. But if they're going to let this happen, then what's next?"

Editors of the newspaper said they stand by what they did and they have the support of the teacher who oversees the staff, and district administration.

Student adviser Amy Medlock said she discussed the photo with attorneys and school principals before permitting students to print it.

Medlock said she even edited the photo so it would not be revealing.

Medlock and the editors agree students were interested in the article, which also featured three other graduates: Matt Duffie, a model for

Abercrombie and Fitch.

Charissa Seaman, a dancer for pop singer Britney Spears.

Erik Kimrey, a football player at the University of South Carolina.

"It's entertainment and that's what the students want to read about," she said. "We wanted the students to know about the interesting jobs some of the graduates are doing, and being on the cover of Playboy is a big deal."

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1988 that school administrators do have the discretion to determine when published material is inappropriate for students.

Mike Hiestand, an attorney at the Student Press Law Center, in Arlington, Va., said reprinting the cover isn't illegal and agrees there is some news value in informing students of a

graduate's success.

"I don't think they did it in a sensational way," Hiestand said.

"They heard the rumors, they checked it out and reported the news."

Melody Fitzwater, 16, a junior at Dutch Fork, said the photo wasn't offensive to her and the newspaper had every right to publish it.

"It wasn't like they inspired anyone to choose a career," she said. "It was just a harmless (article) for students to read about former Dutch Fork students."

Butch Barnhart, chairman of Dutch Fork's School Improvement Council, said he hasn't heard any concerns from parents about the photo.

"I haven't had one call about it and it wasn't mentioned at our meeting a few weeks ago," Barnhart said.

Bickley said she was stunned when her daughter showed her the photo. She said she was even more offended that the article didn't feature graduates in other careers.

"I didn't see anything highlighting a doctor, lawyer or teacher," she said. "I don't want my daughter thinking the best she can do is be in Playboy magazine."

Medlock said that because Dutch Fork opened only nine years ago, most of the graduates are still developing their careers.

She said the newspaper staff is considering making the updates part of a series.

Hill, an Irmo native, was unavailable for comment. •

MY TURN

FEA1 0

Zach Anderson, President of UCO's Student Programming Board

I

figured it would be best to enlighten you all on the burning passion that completely encompasses my life (no, not that Marilyn Monroe poster.) I'm writing about the UCO Student Programming Board.

OK, so maybe it's not my all encompassing passion, (I mean, that pin-up is pretty good), but SPB is a pretty important aspect of my life as a college student.

So, without further fanfare comes the portion of this dissertation containing an actual point.

For those of you who don't know, SPB is the organization on this campus that basically conducts most campus-wide activities. In other words, we get a pretty nice chunk of your student activities fee.

Battle of the Bands? Yeah, that's us. Drive-in Movie Night?

Us too. The controversial Homecoming Car Bash complete with nutritious carcinogenpacked grilled hotdogs? You betcha. Drunken-Monkey Gladiator Jell-O Fest 2000? Well, hey, we can't do it all. Give us time. We're working on it.

Back to the story. Now that you, the reader, have somewhat of an overview of what SPB does, I'm gong to use the rest of my allotted space for shameless self promotion. You see guys, just like pimpin', programming at UCO ain't easy. On this "nontraditional" campus, it's kinda tough for "campus life" to exist.

In fact, our campus life is basically

on life support you know, hooked to a breathing machine with failing kidneys running to a catheter. But, where others would be content to pull the plug and put the campus out of its misery, myself, along with several other devoted students, have decided to fire up the defibrillators.

CLEAR!!!! (God, I love ER!) This spring, we are bringing in a plethora (yeah, I said "plethora") of entertaining acts for you guys. And guess what — they're all free. Yeah, that's right.

Free. So basically, there's no excuse for not getting out and enjoying the newly revived UCO campus. Here's a quick rundown of things to come.

Jen Cohen — This hot music up-and-corner from Nashville (no, she's not country) will be gracing the stage of Pegasus Theater on March 2, along with her backing band. Jen has already developed a following on college campuses across the nation and is now adding UCO to her resume.

Darren Carter — This one-ofa-kind comedian who I have had the pleasure of seeing in person (and yeah, he's hilarious) will be performing in Pegasus on March 29. Trust me. This is an act you don't want to miss.

Fade 2 Shade — I know, I know. The name screams pathetic early nineties pop, (Nothing Compares 2 U, etc.), but trust me, these guys are the real thing. This Minneapolisbased band was selected as one of MTV's Choose or Lose artists for college bands, along with being selected to perform at VH1's "Save the Music" campaign.

Their mix of rock, jazz/funk and rhythm is just incredible. They'll be performing here on April 17. I just purchased their CD, "Time Will Tell." Take my word for it — this is one group you've got to see.

ENJOY YOURSELF. For crying out loud, you're in college.

Have fun while you still can.

These programs are coming, so why not cut some time out of your schedule now and plan on attending. I guarantee it will be

MY TURN

FEA1 0

Zach Anderson, President of UCO's Student Programming Board

I

figured it would be best to enlighten you all on the burning passion that completely encompasses my life (no, not that Marilyn Monroe poster.) I'm writing about the UCO Student Programming Board.

OK, so maybe it's not my all encompassing passion, (I mean, that pin-up is pretty good), but SPB is a pretty important aspect of my life as a college student.

So, without further fanfare comes the portion of this dissertation containing an actual point.

For those of you who don't know, SPB is the organization on this campus that basically conducts most campus-wide activities. In other words, we get a pretty nice chunk of your student activities fee.

Battle of the Bands? Yeah, that's us. Drive-in Movie Night?

Us too. The controversial Homecoming Car Bash complete with nutritious carcinogenpacked grilled hotdogs? You betcha. Drunken-Monkey Gladiator Jell-O Fest 2000? Well, hey, we can't do it all. Give us time. We're working on it.

Back to the story. Now that you, the reader, have somewhat of an overview of what SPB does, I'm gong to use the rest of my allotted space for shameless self promotion. You see guys, just like pimpin', programming at UCO ain't easy. On this "nontraditional" campus, it's kinda tough for "campus life" to exist.

In fact, our campus life is basically

on life support you know, hooked to a breathing machine with failing kidneys running to a catheter. But, where others would be content to pull the plug and put the campus out of its misery, myself, along with several other devoted students, have decided to fire up the defibrillators.

CLEAR!!!! (God, I love ER!) This spring, we are bringing in a plethora (yeah, I said "plethora") of entertaining acts for you guys. And guess what — they're all free. Yeah, that's right.

Free. So basically, there's no excuse for not getting out and enjoying the newly revived UCO campus. Here's a quick rundown of things to come.

Jen Cohen — This hot music up-and-corner from Nashville (no, she's not country) will be gracing the stage of Pegasus Theater on March 2, along with her backing band. Jen has already developed a following on college campuses across the nation and is now adding UCO to her resume.

Darren Carter — This one-ofa-kind comedian who I have had the pleasure of seeing in person (and yeah, he's hilarious) will be performing in Pegasus on March 29. Trust me. This is an act you don't want to miss.

Fade 2 Shade — I know, I know. The name screams pathetic early nineties pop, (Nothing Compares 2 U, etc.), but trust me, these guys are the real thing. This Minneapolisbased band was selected as one of MTV's Choose or Lose artists for college bands, along with being selected to perform at VH1's "Save the Music" campaign.

Their mix of rock, jazz/funk and rhythm is just incredible. They'll be performing here on April 17. I just purchased their CD, "Time Will Tell." Take my word for it — this is one group you've got to see.

ENJOY YOURSELF. For crying out loud, you're in college.

Have fun while you still can.

These programs are coming, so why not cut some time out of your schedule now and plan on attending. I guarantee it will be

K kids, it is time once again for my favorite holiday: Dave's Day of Denial. I hate X-Mass with all my shriveled coal-like heart, so every year I enter a state of intense denial and pretend all the annoying jewelry store jingles and plastic reindeer are just hallucinations brought on by a bad batch of Jose Quervo.

My lawn is mined with ebola grenades and my guard dogs are trained to attack children bearing peppermint. Anyone who wakes me before St. Patrick's Day will be fed to my cat. Now behave and read your horoscope.

ARIES : ( MARCH 21 - APRIL 19 ) Cut back on the drugs and maybe you will get a job someday.

TAURUS : ( APRIL 20 - MAY 20 ) Yes, it is acceptable to stick your hands in your pockets when it is cold outside. The reason you are going to be in so much trouble is because you are trying to stick your hands in other people's pockets.

You cannot claim to be a health nut just because you once walked all the way across the room to change the channel.

Sorry, but no one really believes you are sweet and innocent.

Could this possibly have something to do with your new web site?

LEO : ( JULY 23 - AUG 22 ) You know, people would probably stop calling you Euro-Trash Yuppie Scum if you would stop wearing those turtlenecks.

VIRGO : ( AUG 23 - SEPT 22 ) This week you will experience the joy of parenthood when your pet packs up his food dish and leaves you for the house down the street that has cable and Nintendo.

LIBRA : ( SEPT 23 - OCT 23 ) You will experience massive quantities of confusion when you are unable to fathom why both your parents and the person you are dating refuse to speak to you. This could possibly have something to do with you waking up in Mexico hung-over and freshly tattooed.

SCORPIO : (OCT 24 - NOV 21)

DOWN 1 Greek peak 2 Sorrowful drop 3 Discusses 4 Galena, e.g.

5 Selling point

Just a friendly reminder: The average person gains 10 pounds over the holiday season. It looks like you are off to a head start this year.

SAGITARIUS : ( NOV 22 - DEC 21 ) Start planning ahead for Semester Break by carrying the business card of a reliable Bail Bondsman. You will want to trust me on this one.

LAST CHANCE1

SKf January 2-15, 2001

CAPRICORN : (DEC 22 - JAN 19)

TRIPS

I hate to disappoint you, but at your age you shouldn't still be believing in Santa Claus.

3/4/5/6 or 7 nights

1. 800•8UNCHASE

www.sunchase.com

AQUARIUS : ( JAN 20 - FEB 18 ) People who watch Dawson's Creek are in for a shock this week when it is revealed that Dawson is really a 40-year-old cross dresser.

PISCES : ( FEB 19 - MARCH 20 ) A word of caution: Satin sheets are slippery, and wood floors are really hard.

Comments, complaints, death threats and marriage proposals can be sent to our staff mystic at bave&otBored@collegeclub.com , or you can IM him through DaveGotBored on AOL/IM. Even over the holidays.
