Residents remained outside the building as mechanical technicians, along with residential employees and police guarded the premises and searched for the cause of the incident.

Free tax help offered at UCO BY BETH HULL

PHOTO BY TSUYOSHI SHIRAISH1
The UCO Accounting Club, in cooperation with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, will provide free tax assistance from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays until April 12 in Thatcher Hall.
Some of the other services offered are electronic tax filing and non-resident assistance for international students. "What we do a lot of here at UCO is non-resident returns. No matter who you are or where you're from, if you have income in the U.S., you must file with the IRS," said Sheets. Sheets suggests international students attend a session to find out what they are required to submit to the IRS. Non-residents cannot file electronically. Sheets suggests arriving prepared. "If you're coming to the VITA
site, bring all of your W2s and 1099s, so we can help you. If you want to file electronically, bring a voided check or deposit slip," said Sheets. The sessions run on a first-come, first-served basis, but late arrivals will also be helped. "If you get there by 4:30 they'll help you, but electronic filing may not be possible because it takes longer to prepare," said Sheets. A special Saturday session will also be held from 8:30 to 11 a.m. March 3. For more information, call 9742834 or 974-2156. •

r. William Caire has been appointed the dean of the College of Mathematics and Science. The appointment will become effective May 1, 2001. When asked his feelings on his new position, Caire said, "It's very exciting and it should be fun. It's also a bit scary because of the responsibility involved, but that will make me work harder." Caire's education is extensive. He graduated from Howard County College with his associate's degree in biology in 1966 and in 1969, Caire graduated from Texas Tech University with his bachelor's degree in zoology and chemistry. Following, he received his master's

hanks for the advice and comments regarding credit card solicitation that appeared in your editorial on Thursday, Feb. 15. The editorial pictures Auxiliary Enterprises as being not only the enemy but also the solution. Perhaps a closer look might give your readers a different perspective. You stated in your editorial, "Thanks to our Auxiliary Enterprises, hungry to make a dollar, we as students can add one more worry to our ever-growing list ... debt." You also stated that we "enable credit card companies to sucker in desperate college students and eventually help them pile up thousands of dollars in debt." Again, a closer look may tell a significantly different story. First, the university has not allowed our students to be suckered into anything. All of the first time incoming freshman who participated in Stampede Week received credit card awareness and financial management information in their packets. Second, our students are very bright and have stayed in school to pursue higher academic achievements which include managing a budget and paying for the goods that they purchase. I hope you did not mean to suggest that students who are so actively engaged in a rigorous learning process could be so "desperate" as to be suckered so easily?

student enters college. Universities are then able to build on and enhance this positive trait. UCO remains committed to helping our students do just that and our credit card policy does not indicate otherwise. Prior to your editorial, we have never received a complaint from any student regarding credit card solicitation. It is not our policy to "ban" legitimate, legal organizations that have been visiting our campus for a number of years without one complaint. We have never attempted to censor reputable organizations that are reportedly trying to offer the students services etc. I thought it was interesting that The Vista ran a "Classified Service" ad on page 19 of the same issue of "totally free credit card," interest free etc. I assume this was a paid ad and The Vista received money from a company soliciting students to obtain a credit card. The solicitation by credit card companies toward students and others is of course rampant by mail and we have no control over these activities. We care about our students and believe that most UCO students are accountable and responsible. We would be happy to help in any way we can, but to depict Auxiliary as the enemy and the solution, could be seriously questioned. Respectfully,

SAFE-ZONE program provides listening ear to students, faculty BY LORALEA KNOX
Staff Writer
I
he Gay Alliance for Tolerance and Equality (GATE) has joined forces with faculty and staff to start SAFE-ZONE, a program designed to help students who want to talk with someone about their sexual orientation. "All the faculty and staff that are involved in this program will have the official SAFE-ZONE logo on their office door," said Mandy Whitten, president of GATE. "If a student sees this logo, they'll know that they can talk to that faculty or staff member." The SAFE-ZONE logo is a laminated card that will display the GATE logo, the words "SAFE-ZONE" and a short explanation of what SAFE-ZONE is about. "We want students to realize that this is an ally program," said Whitten. "This is not a counseling program. The faculty and staff involved are just there to listen, not to counsel anyone in anyway."
Andrew Naylor, a former GATE sponsor, introduced the idea for the SAFE-ZONE program. After he left, Whitten and GATE Vice President Richard Kingston decided to continue with the idea. "We have been working on this program for over a year," said Whitten. "It was a lot more work that we had initially thought." Although listening and being a "friend" are some things required by those faculty and staff involved, there is no formal classes or training required. "We've given them all a 30-page manual," said Whitten. "It includes some helpful hints, some phone numbers and a list of all the gay-friendly places in Oklahoma City." Although SAFE-ZONE is not a counseling program, those involved are positive that it will help students in many ways. "If we can provide outreach to just one student, then the program is worth all the work," said Whitten. •

"We will not give up on looking for that new technology, but in the meantime, we simply are not going to react for the sake of reacting," NASCAR President Mike Helton said. "We're not going to do something because it's a reaction that we will take credit for. We will do it because it's the right thing to do."

SPORTS Bronchos trounce Missouri Western BY RYAN

Sports Writer
U
CO baseball defeated Missouri Western (MWSC) 14-8 on Sunday, Feb. 18 at Broncho Field. The Bronchos won two games of the threegame season-opening series with the Griffons after the two teams split a Saturday doubleheader. "We were aggressive at the plate and made some things happen offensively," UCO Coach Wendell Simmons said. "Defensively we were pretty solid and didn't have any errors after having a bunch in the second game Saturday." UCO stayed ahead of MWSC throughout the entire game. The Bronchos took a 2-0 lead in the first on a John Rogers' RBI double and a sacrifice fly by Rothy Briggs. UCO led 6-1 after three innings before MWSC rallied with four in the fourth inning to pull within one at 6-5. Dusty McSwane had a RBI double in the fifth inning which pushed the Bronchos ahead 8-5. The score was 9-6 when UCO put the game away with a five-run eighth inning. UCO's bats thundered as McSwane sparked an uprising with a three-run triple, while Rogers and Dusty Jones both had run-scoring doubles. The Broncho's bullpen heated up as Ricky Belk came on in the fourth inning. Belk, picking up his second pitching win in relief, gave up just four hits and three runs in five innings of work. Rogers and Rod Richardson had three hits for the Bronchos, while Briggs, David Jones and Todd Higgins each had two hits. The Bronchos, now 2-1, return to action Tuesday, Feb. 27 when they host St. Gregory's for a single game at Broncho Field. •

CO men's tennis opened the 2001 spring tennis schedule on Feb. 16, going 2-1 in three consecutive home matches. In a match held at Oak Tree Country Club Friday Feb. 16, UCO defeated Cowley County (Kan.) Community College 6-3. The Bronchos repeated their victory as they downed Cowley 5-4 on Saturday Feb. 17 at the Edmond Racquet Club. Science and Arts of Oklahoma (USAO) gave UCO their first defeat of the season, 5-4, at the KickingBird Tennis Center on Sunday, Feb. 18. "We played fairly well and it was good to finally get the season started," veteran UCO Head
Coach Francis Baxter said. "We had two matches every time and that was too much to overcome against USAO." Defaults became UCO's downfall against USAO. The Bronchos were forced to give up both the No. 3 doubles and No. 6 singles in every match. Gregg le Sueur, Adam Clayton and Mouhcine Guettabi each won all three of their singles matches over the weekend, while the doubles team of Clayton and Henry So were both defeated. The matches against Seminole Junior College in Seminole, Feb. 21, were canceled due to weather concerns. Both UCO tennis teams are scheduled to go to Canyon, Texas on Feb. 23-24 for matches against West Texas A&M, Metropolitan State and Midwestern State. •

SPORTS Krueger paces Bronchos
C
entral Oklahoma's women captured five individual titles and the men claimed one relay championship at the 13-team Broncho Indoor Invitational in Norman on Feb. 16, as the indoor track and field season started winding to a close. The Bronchos go back to the University of Oklahoma's Mosier Indoor Facility on Thursday, Feb. 22 at 4 p.m. for the Eagle Invitational in the final regular season indoor meet. The NCAA Division II Indoor Track and Field Championships are set for March 9-10 in Boston, Mass. "It was a pretty good meet for us once again and I thought we competed well," UCO coach Paul Parent said. "We tried different things with some kids to prepare some for the outdoor season, but it was a good outing for us. We've had a good indoor season and hopefully we can
finish strong this week." Freshman standout Romy Krueger once again paced UCO's women, winning the 800-meter dash and finishing second in the mile run. Krueger, who has already qualified for the national meet in the 800, won that race over teammate Miwa Isoe with a 2:17.26 clocking and she met national provisional qualifying standards in the mile with a schoolrecord 5:04.89 finish. The Bronchos also got championships from Denietra Miller in the 55-meter dash, Alisha Adams in the 400-meter dash, Sarah Winters in the shot put and Delisa McClain in the weight throw. Winters, McClain and Renea Burns joined Krueger as two-event placers. Winters was sixth in the weight throw in addition to winning the shot put, while McClain added a third in the shot put to her gold

UCO's men won the mile relay in 3:18.92 as Kinnith Jones, Stanley Stokley, Michael Morgan and Charles Sterling combined efforts to win that race.

your diploma and frame it and hang it on the wall. When a student goes to a job interview after graduating, the employer isn't going to ask to see your diploma, they'll ask to see your transcript. The specific major and minor will be printed there." When Fluetter was faced with
this response by Legere, he said, "If that's the case, then why not make the diploma as pretty as it can be? It's not very expensive to include the major and minor of the student." Although some students are upset about this policy, Legere says that this procedure is not going to
change anytime soon. "Not at this point," said Legere. "We are in the middle of implementing a whole new student administration that will take place over the next 14 months. This will change how we do business." Other students feel the same way that Fluetter does on this issue.
"I don't understand why they leave it out," said Lee Bahavar, senior computer science major. "When you graduate you feel like you've accomplished something. You want to take your diploma to your work and hang it on your wall. It would be nice if it included your specific major." •
I
completely disagree with the young lady who wrote in and was upset because The Vista put the Oklahoma State University (OSU) plane crash story in the back of the paper. Part of healing is letting go of the grief and the pain. It is not good for everyone involved in a painful time to have the story on the front page of every newspaper and the leading story of every news cast done. The plane crash happened on Saturday. The Vista did not come out until the following Tuesday. Who in the state of Oklahoma does she think did not know about the plane crash? And for her to compare the crash to the bombing was outrageous. The Oklahoma City bombing was a malicious attack that killed 168 innocent people. The plane crash, while a terrible tragedy, killed 10 people. I don't see the comparison. They were both terrible tragedies but it is time to heal. Personally, I don't want to see the bombing on the front page of The Vista come April 19. It brings back all those terrible feelings and fears every Oklahoman and American had after the bombing. Let's heal and not keep having to relive the tragedies. We should be focusing on the good aspects of life and not always the bad or tragic aspects. So I want to THANK The Vista for going ahead with life and being a positive light in the dim world.

J
NOLEY
Staff Writer
ust when you thought the season of love was over, the Valvoline Co. has begun a search for lovers of a different breed, car lovers. A love affair with an automobile is not new. Car owners have been naming and babying their cars for years. According to Valvoline, the majority of automobiles still rolling are more than seven years old, and 64 percent of them have been driven more than 75,000 miles. This contest is not for the typical cross-country race car. All entrant's cars must have at least 75,000 miles on their odometer. Drivers must use MaxLife Motor Oil in their cars. To win the grand prize of $75,000, the driver will participate in a cross-country road trip chosen by Valvoline. The winner will also receive a per diem of $50 per day to cover expenses. During the 52-day trip, the driver must be in or touching the
car at all times to win the contest. ten minute breaks will be given every two hours. A support crew will accompany the driver for the duration of the trip. The trip starts in Lexington, Ky. and concludes in New York City, Ny. Entrants must submit a 500-word essay describing their unique relationship with their car by March 23. Essay entries can be sent to www.valvoline.com/carlovers . Official rules can also be found at this web address, or can be obtained by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to the MaxLife Car Lover's Challenge, 645 N. Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611. Prize money is not all Valvoline will be awarding. Valvoline will donate $1 per mile to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. The 75,000 minute-challenge will run from May 7 to June 28, 2001. If you plan to enter this contest, let us know at www.thevistaonline.com . • ,

REVIEW Martini Kings to release new CD BY MENA GANESAN
Staff Writer
CO music students and local swing darlings, the Martini Kings, have found their niche in a refreshing pop-rock genre with their upcoming CD. The self-titled compilation is set for "We're not just release the first week of March as a precursor to playing typical rock a full-length album which is tentatively power chords. We use planned for release in our theory education August. "A year ago we to write complex wanted to do something different songs, but we still try than the swing music to keep it in a format we were playing," Urian Weaver, guitarist that is listenable." said. "We're not just playing typical rock power chords. We use —Urian Weaver Martini Kings our theory education to guitarist write complex songs, but we still try to keep it in a format that's listenable." The CD consists of the Kings' trademark powerful layered horns and high-energy, but this time they have finally flexed their musical muscle by
U
creating original pieces that are as radio worthy as any top 40 band on regular rotation today. The Martini Kings formed in December of 1997 with the intent of playing Ska and found themselves in the midst of a swing revival revolution which led them to immediate success in the Oklahoma City and Tulsa club circuit. Although the band reveled in sold out shows, headlining in large venues such as the Bricktown Brewery and the now closed Boar's Head, swing mania eventually dissipated and the band decided to move forward into a more serious musical effort. "We had a really great time doing this and I think you can hear it in the recording. I think it's going to change everyone's perception of what they think this band should be and I think it's going to open innumerable doors for them," Wes Sharon, producer/recording engineer and owner of AKS Recording studio. Sharon's production credits include the Doobie Brother, Greg Allman, Remy Zero, Simon Says, Radical Spangle, Traindodge and Smarty Pants. The Martini Kings are vocalist Tod Kelih, bassist Joe Gillian, trombonist John Horton, guitarist Weaver, drummer Mike Alexander and trumpeteer Ryan Sharpe. Alexander, Horton and Sharpe are currently music majors at UCO. For more information, call 360-2263 or log-on to www.martinikings.com . •
Lawns to be sprayed in preparation for Spring acilities Management will be spraying the grounds of UCO to help ensure green lawns to frolic on this spring. The spray is not toxic to humans, but students are asked to not walk on sprayed areas until they dry or the spray is no longer visible. Sprayed areas will be indicated with either a yellow or a green dye. There will also be an odor that is harmless. Spraying will begin soon, and may continue through Spring Break covering one section of the grounds at a time. •

Signs are posted on some lawns on campus to remind students and staff not to walk on the newly-sprayed grass.
CORRECTION In the Feb. 15 edition of The Vista, the story "New UCO club strives to reach campus for Jesus Christ" contained several errors. The third paragraph should have stated, "The group follows the Biblical
model of a Paul and Timothy relationship." The fourth paragraph should have quoted Jennifer Garrett as saying, "We are very much based on discipleship." The Vista regrets the error.

BY MICH Saturday Night Live funny again
I
his past Saturday night, I bore witness to a transition that was both unexpected and strangely surprising. Amdist all the talk of NBC's Saturday Night Live returning to hipster status, the show has slipped in a crew of ringers to solidify the show's coolness (at least for the time being). While there are some holdovers from the last "new cast," make no mistake that there has been a true changing of the guard at SNL. And it's funny this time. About five years ago, there was a huge hubub about the show getting an overhaul. We'd just gotten over the mass evacuation of talent that had happened in the seasons previously, and I know I was pretty hopeful that the replacements for the likes of Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman would be funny. They weren't. Sure, there were bright spots, but for the most part I felt that the whole "new" cast was less than the sum of its parts. For every Jim Bruer sketch in which Bill Murray was channeled, we'd get some lame bit which seemed to drag on forever (as well as spawn a movie). I admit it: I quit watching for a couple of seasons. Then something amazing staarted happening: the featured players started stepping up to "starring" status, and the writing became considerably sharper. I give some of the credit to new head writer and Weekend Update co-anchor Tina Fey, who not only has a droll sense of humor (conjuring up just a little bit of Jane Curtain in her delivery) but also has some really cool glasses. Character players like Rachel Dratch (who earned her Mike Ross Bonus Points by playing Led Zeppelin's "Whole
Lotta Love" on a cello while appearing on Conan O'Brien's program) and Jimmy Fallon have also started drawing me back in. Even the old-new cast members like Will Ferrell and Darrell Hammond began earning their keep on the program. This season in particular, I've seen sharper bits on the program than I have in the last five years. Instead of trotting out the same old, tired characters week after week after week, we're getting freshlybrewed laughs. It's good times, my friends. So I had to raise an eyebrow last week when I saw a prodigal son of SNL return to the show for the first time since before the Dark Ages: G.E. Smith guested with the band, providing one of the most shocking moments on television in the last month.. With the prodigal's return, however, we did have to bid farewell to one of the few cast members who has cosistently made me laugh since 1995: Molly Shannon bowed out, making her final appearance a memorable one. One last "Delicious Dish," one last Mary Katherine Gallagher (performing "School's Out" with the band), one last wave goodnight. SNL: Surprise! It's funny again (even without Molly Shannon)! HAVEN'T GOT YOUR FASTBALL TICKETS YET? They're still on sale! The show is tonight (Thursday, Feb. 22) and doors open at 7. It should be noted that our friends 13 Stars have been booked to open and will now take the stage at 8 p.m., with Fastball playing closer to 9 p.m. It's just $3 for students! Have your roomate tape Friends and ER for you, for cryin' out loud! DROP ME A LINE, WE'LL TALK. NO BIG WHOOP. The e-mail address is still Pleasedtomeetme@ucomail.com and there is still a message board on the website (www.thevistaonline.com ). You can still use snailmail, too, but no one seems to do that anymore. •
