ollowing an evening of talent, beauty and entertainment by former Miss UCO winners Jan. 27, Miss UCO 2000 Andrea Springall crowned Alyssa Baldwin of Edmond as Miss UCO 2001.

"It was just one of those completely surreal moments where everything's kind-of in slow motion," said Baldwin.

"It was absolutely amazing. I really was not expecting it."

The evening's festivities included vocal performances by Miss UCO 1993 Heather Geery Heinecke, Miss UCO 1996 Lisa Poling Howard and Miss UCO 1998 Hayley McPheeters Thompson.

Springall played the violin during the pageant.

A slide show and introductions of former pageant winners was also held.

As Miss UCO 2001, Baldwin will receive $3,000 in scholarships, a wardrobe allowance and a June trip to compete in the Miss Oklahoma

CO lost to Northeastern Oklahoma State (NSU), 9691, at Hamilton Field House, Jan. 30.

The loss was the third in four outings for UCO, who dropped to 12-7 overall and 3-2 in the Lone Star Conference (LSC) North standings.

NSU, looking for its third straight North Division title, improved to 16-3 overall and a division leading 5-0 in the conference.

"Its hard to win anytime you have a team shoot like that from outside, and they hit some unbelievable shots," UCO head coach Jim Seward said. " I thought we played really well during certain stretches of the game, but then we would get away from what we were doing."

Accurate long range shooting became NSU's ultimate weapon

against the Bronchos. The Redmen hit an astonishing 16-of-21 attempts, with a 76.2 percent average from 3point range.

UCO out-rebounded NSU 34-29 and hit 47.7 percent from the field.

Marlon Dawson, who continues to lead NCAA Division II in scoring, hit five 3—pointers and had 27 points for the night Northeastern came out with an early 15-point lead at 27-12.

However, Dawson rallied UCO to a 20-3 run with a trey at 5:04 left in the first half.

The scoring was back and forth for the remainder of the half, but as the buzzer sounded NSU's Ozzie Lockhart threw a desperate 55—footer giving the Redmen a 50-47 advantage.

Eight leads changed and seven ties were broken as UCO battled Northeastern in the final 20 minutes of the second half.

Dexter Tennell's 3-pointer created UCO's biggest lead of the

night at 75-71 with 9:22 left but, NSU came storming back tied and then forged ahead 87-84 with 2:12 remaining.

UCO tied the game at 87—all on a 3-pointer from the top of the key at 1:45. NSU senior guard and forward Keith Felton answered with a 15—foot jumper at the 1:08 mark to tie the score at 89.

The Redmen broke the deadlock for good with its 16th and final 3—pointer.

Dawson sunk two free throws at 0:32 to bring UCO within 1 at 92-91. However, NSU, in the final 23 seconds, hit four free throws to clinch the win.

The Broncho's Lennox McCoy added 14 points, Chris Strodes had 12 points and eight rebounds while, Tennell finished with 11 points.

UCO are going on the road to Midwestern State in Wichita Falls, Texas on Feb. 3, and they will get a rematch with NSU in Tahlequah, Feb. 5. •

UCO also won three events and had six runner-up finishes in the men's portion of the meet.

"We ran extremely well and just keep getting better and better," UCO coach Paul Parent said.

"Our women had some unbelievable performances, both as individuals and in the relays, and we've made tremendous progress this season."

Miller, a junior from Enid, was UCO's only dual individual winner.

She took the long jump crown with a 17-foot, 3 1/4-inch effort, then blazed to a 7.39 clocking in also winning the 55meter dash.

UCO got championship and school-record - individual efforts from Delisa McClain in the weight throw (48 feet, 5 inches), Romy Krueger in the 800 meters (2:13.72), Jamie Lucero in the 1,000 meters (3:07.90), while the winning two-mile (10:07.93) and distance medley (13:06.20) relay teams also established school records.

f lung cancer and chronic coughing were not enough to keep a person from smoking, cigarettes are now the second leading cause of residential fire injuries and deaths in Oklahoma.

The Injury Prevention Service and Tobacco Use Prevention Division of the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), as part of National Burn Awareness Week, wants to call attention to these preventable cigaretterelated injuries and deaths.

According to data collected by the OSDH, there were 79 burn injury victims from cigarette-related residential fires from 1995 to 1999. Eighty percent of these burn victims died.

"Males were more than twice as likely to be injured as females," according to Martha Collar of the Safe Kids Project.

"Forty-nine percent of persons injured were asleep when the fire started and almost a third of the injuries occurred between midnight and 4 a.m.

Fifty-six percent of the burn victims had been drinking alcohol."

Cigarettes, typically manufactured to burn when unattended, are the single leading cause of fire deaths with economic costs at $4 billion per year. The economic costs are health care, lost productivity, personal property

"A lot of people just think politics nowadays is disgusting, so they don't pay attention to anything anyone says," said Presberry.

Along with the decline in political interest, the freshmen survey shows a continued shift in the percentage of students who define themselves as "liberal" or "far-left" in their views.

The percentage rose to 28 percent from 26 percent in 1999.

Computer use is at an all-time high, with 78 percent of college freshmen reporting frequent usage of computers. This figure is up from 68 percent from last year and 27 percent in 1985.

The survey's gender gap shows women remain less confident of their computer skills than men.

LETTERS UCO student says thanks to faculty, classmates

W

hen I first thought about writing this letter, I had wanted to publicly thank an unknown young man who helped me get my truck started after class on Thursday, Jan. 18. I now want to extend my gratitude to the faculty and students here at UCO. On Thursday, I had just :ompleted my last class of the day in the Liberal Arts Building and my truck would not start. I had just

opened my hood to see what the problem might be when a young man approached and asked if I needed a jump. He went to another parking lot and returned later with his car and jumper cables. It was determined that the battery was OK. He then crawled under my truck, located the starter and tapped on it until we were able to get it started. I am sorry I never got his name. I was very impressed with

this young man's generosity and manners. Thank you very much. I did get home and ultimately replaced the starter.

On Saturday, Jan. 20, I received word of my mother's death.

Although expected, it was not easy to accept. I want to thank my professors and fellow classmates at UCO for their kind thoughts and assistance during this very trying time. I want to personally thank Jan

Lawrence and Katie White for allowing me to have copies of their notes for the classes I missed.

It is reassuring to know that there are wonderful, loving people in the world and especially heartwarming to know they are located right next to me in the classrooms at UCO. Jerry Crice, junior applied liberal arts major

When there is a problem, such as a mouse in a specific room, a student desiring to move out must first contact someone in their residence office and talk with them about their individual problem.

"If a student wants to keep a room private [after their roommate moves out] and

does not have a roommate, then yes, we do [charge a single room fee]," Duncan said.

Other problems reported in the dorms this year involve heating and cooling and shower repair.

I

his past week, I happened to finally catch (in its completed form) a film George Lucas produced some 20-odd years ago which has gone on to be considered a classic.

This movie had it all-narrow escapes, sage advice from an elder, verbal sparring between a "tough guy" hero and a girl, and an instantly memorable cast.

I'd forgotten how good American Graffitti is.

Sitting in my dorm room, accompanied by the best Little Caesar's has to offer, I set out to watch the copy of Graffitti I'd rented a few nights before with friends of mine (but had failed to watch at that time). I'd seen the movie before, but never all at once, and rarely before midnight (TNT has a bad habit of showing the best movies in the dead of night). I obviously had been missing out.

For anyone who hasn't seen this movie, here's a rundown: Steve and Kurt are supposed to leave for college. Kurt doesn't know if he wants to leave California, while Steve is all gung ho; his only worry is parting on good terms with his girlfriend, Laurie, who is still in high school. Steve lends Terry "The Toad," his car, and Terry clumsily cruises for chicks, not quite sure what to do when he actually finds one. Milner is out cruising as well, only to be saddled with a pair of unexpected problems: a 12-yearold girl with an attitude and a guy by the name of Bob Falfa looking to challenge Milner's title as "King of the Road."

And that's just the first 15 minutes.

While Lucas has since entrenched himself firmly in the sci-fi genre, he truly proved himself as a gifted director/talent scout with this movie.

Oh, and there's the cast. Ron Howard was the most experienced actor of the lot at

the time of filming, but the number of unknowns who built careers after this movie is staggering. Where else could you find Richard Dreyfuss, Suzanne Sommers, and Harrison Ford all in the same film? Oh, yeah, and then there's Wolfman Jack ...

The important thing about this movie wasn't the cast or the director, though. It was the story (or stories). Watching American Graffitti, it occured to me how universal certain experiences really are.

That's the beauty of this movie. Whether you were the class president, the motorhead, the dorkiest guy in town, or the girlfriend who got left behind, there's something in this movie you can relate to.

In particular, the relationship between Steve and Kurt reminded me a lot of the last summer before I started college, when my friend Tony and I cruised about with nowhere and everywhere to go. There were eerie resemblences between some of the situations the pair find themselves in and things that would happen to us.

The scenes that hit closest to home are the ones with Kurt, as he desperately chases after some elusive blonde in a white Thunderbird. No, I didn't quite do that, but when he finally seems to catch up to her and makes up his mind, it hit home on a certain level (don't worry, I won't spoil the ending).

We all have to move on at some point. As Wolfman Jack put it, "There's a big, blue, wonderful world out there to see." You don't see it by just sitting at home with what's comfortable.
