UCO President Roger Webb said the school does not have a concrete plan yet but is exploring ways to cut spending. "My intention is to do that without impacting the quality of education for students and jobs," President Webb said. "It's very difficult to be
cutting budgets at a time when we are growing," he said. He said that there are enough things to be done without impacting _the students. "I don't think that students this spring will notice that anything has happened." The staff and faculty might see some changes. "There will be some travel that would be curtailed," President Webb said. "There will be some supply, some equipment perhaps, might have to be postponed." Each department will be able to deal with the budget cut in a different way, President Webb said. He also said that the lower than expected utility bill this winter, due to warmer climate, is helpful in the situation. See BUDGET, Page 3

Oklahoma has done the right thing by cutting the educational budget. We've already achieved last place in many areas and the state is making sure we hold those positions. Maybe we will eventually achieve last place in many more, if not all, aspects of society. Sports enthusiasts need not worry, of course.

King's birth honored Jan. 15 at Y-Chapel celebration

onight," said the Rev. L. S. Thompson, "I'd like to focus on the dream. I'd like to talk about what has become of his dreams." About 40 people gathered the evening of Jan. 15 in UCO's YChapel to celebrate the 73rd anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birth. The service began and ended with performances by the Ebony Heritage Choir, a group of vocalists with about 25 active members. Philip Thomas, director of the
choir, performed a solo. He is a music education freshman and son of L.S. Thompson. He said the Ebony Heritage Choir will perform again for the Miss Black UCO Pageant in February and for the Gospel Extravaganza in April. Students took turns reading famous quotes by King and giving their interpretations, then L. S. Thompson began his sermon. "Yes, we have reached the economic promised land," he said. "Yes, we have reached the education promised land. Yes, we have more than we have ever had before, but the dream has been tarnished with moral decay."
DINE-IN * CARRY-OUT * DRIVE-THRU
"I think King would be very disturbed about the moral fiber of the country. You can tell television and music are digressing into depravity." Of King's achievements, L. S. Thompson said, "It's like building a house on sand. Without constant attention and consideration, the house won't stand." KJ Peterson, communication broadcast junior, said he came to the vigil, "Just to partake in the festivities. Aaron Sweazy, physical education junior, said he thought King was the greatest civil rights activist in history. "If not for his struggles, it would be impossible to have such a melting pot of people like UCO today." Kenneth James, interpersonal communication senior, said he admires King and other civil rights activists, Malcolm X and the Rev. Jesse Jackson. "I just like being involved. I'm trying to get involved and take advantage of what they've built for us. February is Black History month. Its theme at UCO this year will be "Remembering the Struggle." •

LIBRARY: Student needs evaluated continued from page 1 "It will be helpful if I have a research paper to do," Collins said. Taylor said the library's new executive director Dr. Bonnie McNeely has worked to respond to the students' requests for later operating hours on the weekends. Last semester a suggestion box was added to the library foyer where students could make comments. "It is helpful to have something in writing. In the past, a student would say something here or there, but now we have hard numbers. It made it clear that this is something we needed to do,"
Taylor said. She said the library staff has worked to adjust their schedules to make these changes. Regular library operations will be available except that students cannot pay fines or clear holds during Friday and Saturday evenings. The library hours are Monday — Thursday 7:30 a.m. until 11 p.m., Friday 7:30 a.m. until 10 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. and Sunday 2 p.m. until 10 p.m. "This really opens up two large chunks of time for people to study." •

UCO Wrestling takes home national duals BY BRIAN HOSTETLER Sports Editor
U
CO grappled the highly touted Cliff Keen/NWCA Division II Nation Duals title on Jan. 20 with an easy victory over top-ranked North Dakota State. The Bronchos now look forward to the national tournament held on March 8-9 in Kenosha, Wisconsin. "Obviously it's a good win for our kids and our program at this time of the year," UCO Coach David James said. "It gives us an indication that we're a legit contender for the national championship and now we have to continue building on that." Historically, Broncho wrestling is no stranger to the tournament, winning their first national duals crown since 1996. UCO opened the weekend with a thundering 43-6 win over American International Saturday morning. "We were a little sluggish in some spots but it was a good start for us." Coach James commented.

CO played a tight game, but ran out of fuel in overtime in a 73-69 loss to Southeastern Oklahoma State University Jan. 19. The Savages seemed determined to end its current 3game losing skid early by jumping out to a 15-1 lead over the first 8:42 of the game. But the Bronchos charged back to pull within 4 on a pair of Jason Prichard free throws. SOSU took the rest of the half to stretch a 12-point, 37-25 lead going into the break. UCO came out strong in the
second half with a 13-point turnaround as they took their first lead at 49-48 with 8:12 in the game. The lead would seesaw back and forth until UCO's Dantrail. Coleman tied the game on a lay up with 45 seconds left on the clock. SOSU's chance to win the game in regulation and failed on a running lay up as time expired. SOSU scored the first 4-point in overtime and never looked back. Coleman led the Bronchos with 20 points while Prichard added 16 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks in the losing effort. The Bronchos fell to 8-8 on the season.
The loss came two nights after the Bronchos slipped past the lowly ECU Tigers 101-97 at Hamilton Field House. Coleman led the team with 29 points including 2 clutch free throws that sealed the win. Norton Edmonds had 23 points while going 4-6 from the 3-point range. Demario Jones added 14 points and 7 rebounds while Prichard contributed 11 points and 8 boards.

Baker said. Baker said Ambrose should apologize and admit his mistakes instead of just saying he was sloppy. McGinnis said, "I think what's going to resolve here is that he's not only going to correct these past errors, he's gonna be careful not to make this kind of mistake in the future." All three professors said students that committed the same act as Ambrose did would have failed their courses. They also said that they would not discourage students to use Ambrose's books, but they would encourage them to use them with caution. " I expect to continue to read Ambrose's books, but I will do so with a much higher degree of skepticism," McGinnis said. •

"I think they will be pretty hard on him and his credibility is gonna really fall into question," Baker said. • McGinnis said, "I want to give him the benefit of every doubt although I think the area for doubt has narrowed quite a bit." Baker said he's grateful that Ambrose had raised interests in World War II with his work. "The main thing is he just keeps repeating portions of work he's already done under different titles," Baker said, citing an article of the same opinion by Nicholas Confessore in The American Prospect. "I wish he would have stayed with serious scholarship and not become a Hollywood historian,"

Dantes didn't know how to read or write. He only knew what the carved words said because the warden had mocked it on the first day. His days changed when another prisoner by the name of Faria (Harris) dug through the wall. Faria taught Dantes everything he knew. Philosophy, Mathematics, Science, Logic, Chemistry and sword fighting. He had also stopped believing in God by then. He wanted revenge. And that is exactly what he set out to do when he escaped.

That is only the first hour of the movie. How he goes about the revenge on his enemies proves what a lot of money and influence can do. With a map from Faria, Dantes found the treasure in the island of Monte Cristo, took on a new identity: the Count of Monte Cristo, and with a loyal friend whose life he had saved, he proceeded to torture and destroy all the people who had

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, has the older-and-wiser mentor part down to the bones. Dominczyk played Dantes' fiancée Mercedes (who married Mondego when she was told that Dantes had died) with calm sensitivity instead of overdramatizing. One other person I have to mention is Henry Cavill as Mercedes and Mondego's son, Albert Mondego. All I can tell you is that you can plainly see his father in him. The ending of the film, from what I understand, had been changed somewhat from the ending they originally decided to use. I am not saying it's not an acceptable ending, it is just not nearly as powerful as it would have been had they followed the book faithfully. For the most part, screenwriter Jay Wolpert stayed truthful to the spirit of the original book that was in its unabridged version, over 1000 pages. In his defense, I would have to say that no movie could ever have done this book complete justice, but this one is worthy of braving the cold to see it because it is enjoyable, if not spectacularly so. ♦
Associated Press
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — In gatherings Monday to honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., the message that work remains in the struggle for civil rights resonated statewide. At the University of Michigan, the law school held a spirited forum on balancing civil liberties and national security in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Jeffrey Collins, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, addressed the crowd of about 150 and took questions about the government's policies following the attacks. He said seeing a diverse group of students, professors and community leaders sharing their opinions was a fitting tribute to King's legacy. "I think that is a strong sign of unity that Dr. King would be proud of," Collins said. Hundreds turned out in Detroit for a prayer breakfast and address by Martin Luther King III, who told the crowd problems nationwide with poverty, health care and education remain troublesome despite progress toward equality. "I know we've got mountains to climb ... but I say to you this morning, do not in any way get tired," said King, president of the Southern Christian Leadership

King challenged those in a variety of activities including attendance to use their talents to prayer services, concerts, vigils and work to make their city, state and school programs. At Michigan State University, country the best it can be. He said he hoped those observing the economist and syndicated holiday nationwide would use the columnist Julianne Malveaux day without work to work toward encouraged several hundred students and community members that goal. to keep King's dream "We don't see it as alive, especially when a day off," King it comes to the remarked before "We can not take economy. making his address. these twin values She emphasized "We see it as a day on King was a critic of which people can be of justice and capitalism and said involved in America has a long community service." freedom for way to go before The gathering at granted, and everyone is able to get the local headquarters a good meal and earn of the American Martin Luther an adequate income.

is a part of America's history that has impacted my life, and the lives of millions of Americans," Posthumus said, recalling that he was on a high school class trip to Washington, D.C., when he received news of King's death. "It's a time I will never forget, and it's a time that all of us here today must make sure our children and our grandchildren also never forget." King was assassinated in April 1968 at age 39 on a motel balcony in Memphis, Tenn. He was there to support striking sanitation workers, and that effort — as well as Martin Luther King Jr.'s work on behalf of labor struggles — was highlighted at the AFSCME breakfast. •

THEVISTA highest-stakes slot machines you'll ever lay your hands on. Supposedly these machines were designed to dispense arteryclogging snacks and caffeine-laden beverages when you insert money, but I'd never seen them actually pay. off until recently. Just last week a fellow Vista employee walked into the office with a jingling handful of change and a look of absolute wonder on her face. The machines had paid off for the first time in UCO history. She not only got correct change, but also collected a jackpot of one unhealthy snack and around 90 cents. While the rest of the people in the office pondered this windfall, I ventured out to take a look. I stood debating whether to lay a bet when the cellophane wrappers glinted in the fluorescent light and I heard a distant voice. "Beth... Beth... only 65 cents... we can make your wildest dreams come true..." Once I had been dragged back into the office and scolded about talking to myself in public again, I realized the ovement might have a point. In a state where cockfighting is legal (as long as you don't place any bets), perhaps people like me should be kept from gambling. And going out in public for that matter. Thanks to all of you who have entered the contest for the MP3 player. We will accept entries until Jan. 29, so come by and enter or go to www.thevistaonline.com to name this column. Otherwise, I may have to name it myself and actually -do some work around here. If any of you actually miss the advice column, drop me a line at stanggirl70@yahoo.com and I may answer you. Who knows, someday I may need to take my own advice, and I'll need some practice. •

've lived in Oklahoma my entire life, and I've noticed that many of the laws here are relatively asinine. It's had enough that we have to travel to other states to get tattoos, purchase six-point beer and marry our first cousins, but why does the Oklahoma government feel the need to protect us from gambling? Oh yeah, I forgot. We citizens will become terribly addicted and lose all control of our better judgment, frivolously throwing away our savings, if gambling were legalized. For a moment there I thought I was in control of my own life. My mistake. Kudos are in order for Big Brother. If it weren't for you guys up there at the Dome-inProgress, I might make a decision on my own, such as moving out of state. The lottery issue has come up many times in the past decade, each time to be excluded faster than a homely girl at a fraternity party. In the meantime, Oklahomans spend their money supporting other states by driving there, eating at their restaurants, buying their fuel and purchasing their lottery tickets. It's funny that many of the people complaining about our high taxes are those on the front lines of lottery protests. Now for the good news. UCO has a little-known surprise for you gaming enthusiasts out there — and it's right here in the Communications Building. Across from The Vista office are two of the finest and
