Dorm drug arrest costs students $220 By Mike Greer

SfiNWriiez

6 6 think pot should and will be legal in the next 20 years. But it's illegal now, which means that I was stupid and wrong to be in that situation," UCO senior Jacob Sowers

said. Sowers and roommate David Vicks were arrested in their dorm room for possession of marijuana Jan. 17. "When students are arrested, their arrest report is sent to student services," said Capt. Chris Wooldridge, spokesman for UCO Department of Public Safety (UCODPS). "First offense for a misdemeanor usually results in suspension from residence halls," said Jarrod Noftsger, assistant to the vice president for student services and chairman of the conduct committee. "Everything is situational, we're more open when the person is apologetic," Noftsger said. On the night Sowers and Vicks were arrested, Sowers claims they were not smoking. "We were at a place where people were smoking and when we got home, one of the RAs (residence assistants) smelled it on us and turned us in," Sowers said. UCODPS officers found a small quantity of marijuana in the room. The two were arrested, spent the night in the Edmond jail and each paid a $220 bond which counts as their fine. Security on and around UCO campus can be tight. "We have 14 certified officers plus volunteer student officers who aren't certified," Wooldridge said. "The majority of arrests are through the residence halls," Wooldridge said. UCODPS assigns an officer to patrol the dorms and University Commons areas five nights a week from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. Wednesday and Thursday are the only unpatrolled nights. Off-campus security gets even tighter. The city of Edmond employs 86 police officers and three canine units. This works out to about one officer per 800 residents. "The canine units are used for finding people, not for sniffing drugs. We never have and, as far as I know, we never will use them for that purpose," said Sgt. Griffin of the Edmond Police Department. "Most off-campus drug arrests in Edmond are from people who are pulled over or stopped for other reasons," Griffin said. After talking with the person, the police may find illicit drugs. "If it's 2 a.m. and someone's walking on the street it's our duty to stop and interview them," Griffin said. "Most drug arrests in Edmond are not related to UCO. UCO causes traffic and that's about it," Griffin said. Sowers, who organized a dorm cleanup to show penance for his actions is sincerely apologetic for the ordeal. "I'm totally guilty and I'm sorry. It makes no sense to have pot illegal, but I was wrong and I'm sorry." /1

It 's s till t e law

n an article this week, student Jacob Sowers was quoted as saying "I think pot should and will be legal in the next 20 years. But it is illegal now, which means that I was stupid and wrong to be in that situation." Sowers is correct. Possession, cultivation, distribution or consumption of cannabis sativa is illegal. Whether you agree or disagree with the current laws, they still stand and willful violation is nothing more than social protest. A movement is afoot to change the laws, state by state, statute by statute. However, the pro-cannabis forces are going about their agenda all wrong. By focusing on medical marijuana and industrial hemp, the recreational factor is overlooked and will remain under a prohibition even if the industrial hemp and medical marijuana factions win their respective fights. Cannabis, tobacco and alcohol could be under similar legislation. Age controls, additive controls and limits on driving under the influence can be applied to cannabis. For now, however, the law stands and people who are making the effort of getting an education should not spoil their chances of employment with a bust. (e.`.0

Campus DPS advises caution during winter conditions By N. David Owens

Staff`': recent snow storms resulted in hundreds of car wrecks in the Oklahoma City metro area, but none were reported on UCO grounds, said Ted Jones, assistant chief of the UCO Department of Public Safety (DPS). There were also no reported snow-related injuries at UCO due to the quick response to the need for snow removal. Jones said that when winter storms hit, his first advice is to contact the UCO weather line at 974-2002 and get the latest information on the status of university closings. Then watch the weather, stock up on necessities so going outside is not necessary, and if

possible, stay home. If you do have to go out, take precautions such as driving much slower, maintaining a distance of several car lengths between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you, and clean all snow and dirt from your car. Jones said headlights should be clear, windows should have no visual obstructions, and there should be no snow on the body of the car that can blow off and impair vision. Stick to snow routes whenever possible, as they will be the first roads cleared and salted. Snow routes are marked by a green sign with a snowflake pictured on it. Jones said braking techniques vary from car to car. If you have anti-lock brakes, hold the pedal down and do not let up when stopping. The

automatic function of the antilock system will help to control skidding. If your vehicle does not have anti-lock brakes, you should pump them manually, letting up whenever you feel the brakes on the verge of losing traction. Above all, "accept the fact that you are going to be late," Jones said. Your vehicle should have a few basic supplies to be safe. Carry a blanket, a flashlight and

a bright piece of cloth to tie to the antenna if you are in trouble. If your vehicle is parked with the engine running, make sure that the exhaust is free of blockage and keep a window cracked to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be fatal. When traffic is heavy and there are numerous accidents, some police departments will request that you trade insurance

A physical description of the other driver, the car, exact damage that the other car received, tag number, insurance company and policy number, time and place of the accident. Jones said that if an accident occurs on UCO grounds, regardless of whether or not there is an injury, UCO DPS will respond. If an injury, such as , whiplash, is noticed some time after a crash that occurred on UCO grounds, make sure to inform the UCO DPS. When it gets icy "People will slide into each other. . .

Swine Week events:

Swine week raises money for local students

• Monday: 7:30 p.m., Edmond Memorial High School student powder-puff football game. Admission is $5, $3 with any student

ID. By Mike Greer

StaIfitOW t began in the mid 1980s with an article labeling America's youth as irresponsible, freeloading swine. Students at Edmond Memorial High School responded by organizing an annual fund raiser they called Swine Week. That was 15 years ago. This year Swine Week will be Feb. 7 to Feb. 11. "Each year we contact Children's Hospital and sponsor a patient from the Edmond school district," said Daniel Weaver, co-chairman of Swine Week. Last year Swine Week benefitted Memorial alumnus and former UCO student Matt Adams. "We were able to raise $85,000 last year," said Bryson Panas, Edmond Memorial student council senator. Adams, who suffered from an oral cancer, had no health insurance. "They raised enough to pay all my medical bills. It was a miracle," said Adams.

His cancer was completely removed. This year Swine Week benefits Edmond Memorial freshman Brittan Burnett. Burnett had an extensive nerve tumor in the C5 vertebrae which resulted in the amputation of his left shoulder and arm. Twelve students from each grade organized several fundraising events for each day of Swine Week. The fund raising becomes a competition for these students, with the losers having to kiss a pig at the end of the week. Several Edmond restaurants are also getting involved by donating a percentage of a day's earnings. UCO students can contribute by attending Swine Week events or by making donations. There are also donation cups at several Edmond restaurants and businesses, such as Wal-Mart and Cafe 501. Those interested should call Daniel Weaver or Katrina Drain, chairs of Swine Week, at 340-2850, Ext. 134.

• Tuesday: 5 to 8 p.m., Edmond's Central Middle School Swine Week Carnival will have bungee tunnels, a dunk tank, pie throwing at the principal, and an inflatable mountain for climbing. Admission is $5. • Wednesday: 6 to 9p.m., Arctic Edge Ice Skating Night. Admission is $5 with a percentage going to Swine Week. • Saturday: 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Edmond Memorial High School will host a garage sale. All proceeds will go to Swine Week.

Edmond Restaurant Sponsors: • Monday: Johnnie's Charcoal Broiler, CiCi's Pizza and Panera Bread. •Tuesday: Subway and City Bites. • Wednesday: New York Bagel, and the Sonic on Boulevard. • Thursday: All Edmond Carl's Juniors. • Friday: New York Bagel and Jamba Juice.

International alumna celebrates millennium in Chicago Wong represents Malaysia

By Mikel Slate

stammer Qiwen Wong returned to UCO after a short but exciting visit to the Windy City for a millennium celebration not soon to be forgotten. Delegates from more than 200 countries were chosen to represent their country at a dinner hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley of Chicago, who called it, "the most exciting, unique, and diverse New Year's Eve dinner on the planet." Wong, who studied music at UCO from 1985 to 1987, was selected to

represent Malaysia at the millennium event. "It was a fantastic experience for me," said Wong, an accomplished pianist who studied in Poland and New Zealand after graduation. Wong admits the campus has changed a lot since she last visited UCO in the mid-eighties. "I can remember when the UCO International office consisted of just one room in the Lillard Administration Building." Wong said. The International Office is now located in the basement of the University Center, where it occupies a suite of more than ten rooms. This year,

1,770 international students are enrolled at UCO from 99 different countries. Director of the UCO International Office, Dr. Ron Paddock considers Siwen to be one of UCO's most "astounding alumni." Dr. Paddock has maintained correspondence with Wong since her leave for Poland. "We are always thrilled when one of our former students return to UCO," Paddock expressed. "This is especially true of Siwen, because hers is truly a UCO family. Paddock had three of Siwen's sisters in class as well. Wong currently writes and produces

educational theatrical productions aimed at AIDS awareness and prevention in Malaysia. "Malaysia is a very conservative country," Wong explains. "Therefore, we had to write the lyrics in a very special way. We couldn't say anything about sex — we had to word it in a very special way." She is also working on another commissioned piece to promote tourism in her Malaysian town. The production is expected to premier this December.

Professor takes shot at Blazer's game; `puck' isn't with him

rancis Baxter, assistant professor of Kinesiology and Health studies, tried to shoot a goal at UCO Alumni Night with the Blazers game Jan. 29. It was very exciting, especially since I have never had a hockey stick in my hand," Baxter said. How often do you get to go down in front of 10,000 people or so and try something that is impossible?" Each game the players autograph several programs and that is how folks are chosen for the "shoot-out." Because UCO brought so many people, their group was given one of the programs. Baxter thinks it was random that he got it. Baxter said there were several thoughts tumbling through his mind as he stepped onto the ice. "First of all I was thinking 'Don't make a fool of yourself and fall on your face.' "Then I was thinking 'hit it hard enough to at least make it to the net. — Making a goal would net the contestant a new Chevrolet Blazer. Baxter, alas, did not score. "It was heading right towards the slot and then it veered off. I missed it by about three inches." Baxter took his miss in stride. "I was proud of myself. "Heck, I had lots of fun." -

Alternative news mogul conquers the Internet By Trent Dugas

StaftWritot ver 56 million people say the truth is out there. That means the truth must be out there. Over 56 million people say the truth is on the Internet, so the truth must be on the Internet. Over 56 million people say Art Bell is the courier of the truth, so Art Bell must be the courier of the truth. Art Bell is the radio talk show pirate blasting his message to eagerly awaiting audiences. Both on radio airwaves and over the Internet at http://www.artbell.com , Bell has a loyal following and new converts every day. To this day, Bell has had over 56 million people visit his website. This number is incredibly high considering the topic. Bell exposes unexplained events that are not easily put in a box or justified by natural occurrences. He delves into topics that mainstream media will not touch such as conspiracies, UF0s, , government cover-ups and anything where simple explanations do not suffice. Bell's site is in the top two for having the most thorough information on the topic of unexplained I have ever seen. He has a complete archived history of each radio show for people to download and listen to with RealPlayer. His show airs in Oklahoma City on KTOK AM 1000 starting at midnight and runs five hours. He is the hardest working talk show host in the market. But with some recent

tragedies in his life, Bell has allowed people to co-host his show for the past year with Bell only hosting about two shows during the week. Nevertheless, the show's topics remain the same and the show's quality is outstanding. On Bell's site and his radio show, topics include out-ofbody experiences, reincarnation and topics from his recent book The Coming Global Superstorm. On Sunday nights his show switches formats slightly. He calls Sunday night Dreamland, which reaches deeper into the mysterious and unexplained. At times he opens a certain telephone line for people of certain topics. One time he open the line to all people who have traveled through time and another night he asked all vampires to call in. Amazingly enough, hundreds of thousands of people fought the telephone wires to catch Bell's attention on air. What makes the website and talk show so good is that Bell himself believes what he is doing is the truth and believes the truth is found in alternative media. He does not belittle his

news stories of the terrorist NOT in the mainstream news, involvement or the United then stay away. He delves into If you are 158 years old, States military involvement.

Art show features faculty forte By Stephanie J. Eggeling

StaffWriter If you think your professors do not do anything but lie awake at night and dream of trick questions for the next exam, then the Central Museum of Art and Design has a show that might change your mind. The museum is hosting the "Art & Design Faculty Show 2000" through Feb. 20. The show features the artwork of 25 members of UCO's faculty. The annual show gives the faculty a venue to display their artwork. "This is an opportunity to have a setting to bring their

work together and to share those works with the students enrolled in the program as well as the general public," said William Wallo, visual art and design associate professor and museum director. Although the show does not have a main theme, all of the participants do have one thing in common. "The only guiding theme for the show is that everyone that is in the show is involved in an actual teaching role (on campus)," Wallo said. The collection is comprised of a variety of media including photography, printmaking, painting, drawing, graphic design, sculpture, weaving,

ceramics and jewelry. Along with offering faculty the the chance to show their work, students who view the show will also benefit. Wallo said the show will help students gain a specific 'insight into the works and involvement of faculty on campus. The show will also be a cultural opportunity for students. "Like going to any museum they will gain a cultural exposure to different kinds of content and directions that are coming into being expressed inside the arts," Wallo said. For more information about the show, contact the museum at , 974-5209. .4>

On the road to the Olympics...

UCO track member shares plans and inspirations By J.W. Reagor Spoilt:WM,

Denitra Miller warms up during Outdoor track season last year. As a sophomore she holds two university records. She broke both of them in December of last year.

he UCO track team includes an Olympic hopeful who sets records wherever she goes. Sophomore Denitra Miller stunned the audience when she blew away her competition in the 55 dash last Saturday in Norman at the Eagle Invitational. From snap of the gun at the race's beginning, the flashing cameras, and the thud of her body against the mats at the course's end, no more than eight seconds passed. The audience stood in awe. there was over two feet of distance between her and her closest competition. Miller is native to Enid and attended school there. Her track career began when she was in the sixth grade. She gives her mother credit for inspiring her to compete. "She knew that I had talent so

she pushed me..." Miller said. "She is still pushing me now." Miller set the Enid High School record in the long jump with a distance of 18-7. She is still in the running for the 55 meter and holds the record for the long jump. She set the stage in December 1999 with a jump of 18-5 1/4. She also broke the UCO record for the 60-meter dash in December of last year when she ran a 7.99.

I'd like to go to the Olympics... that is a goal...

Denitra Miller UCO Women's Track Member

Paul Parent, head UCO track coach has nothing but praise for Miller. "She's a super hard worker, and she's easy to coach," Parent said. "She listens to you." The coaches are a great source of drive for Miller and her teammates. "The coaches keep us going when we don't want to go." Miller enjoys the concept of the track team. "We pump each other up every day." She said. "As long as we stick together as a team we can do anything." Miller said that it was important for UCO to support the track team during their events. She expressed that the crowd's support helps them run with more conviction. As far as career goals, Miller has her mind made up. "I hope to be a child psychologist when I get out of here," Miller said. "I'd like to go to the Olympics... that is a goal."
