TODAY IN HISTORY In 1966, at age 50, singer and actor Frank Sinatra married 20-year-old actress Mia Farrow at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. Two years later, while Farrow was filming Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby, Sinatra sent his lawyer to the movie set to inform his wife that he was filing for divorce.

CO computers are being audited during July for pirated software to insure compliance before the end of a month-long anti-piracy truce. Business Software Alliance (BSA), a nonprofit trade association which represents software and e-commerce companies from 65 countries worldwide, collected $6.2 million in May from violators in Europe, Asia, Middle East, Latin America and the United States. "A lot of people don't really understand the legalities," said Dr. Cynthia Rolfe, UCO's chief technology officer. "Illegal usage is like photocopying a whole book or magazine." Debbie Bauman, communication manager for BSA, said, "The purpose of our campaign is to educate. There is a federal copyright law and the ramifications of violating it does carry penalties." Fines for non-compliance are as high as $150,000 per violation based on copyright law, she said. According to BSA's state-by-state analysis of pirated software usage, Oklahoma ranks 18th with a 28.9 percent piracy rate. The national average is 25 percent. The study indicated states with smaller populations have the highest piracy rates. See BSA, Page 7

n today's society almost everyone has access to a computer and nearly onethird of the software that is on computers in Oklahoma is pirated, or copied from another computer. Most don't think twice about "borrowing" a program, when in fact it is illegal and can cost thousands of dollars if found. There are many reasons people don't go out and buy their own copy of every program. The main reason hits the pocketbook. Spending hundreds of dollars on a program is a bit much and then double or triple that because most, if not all, computers have more than one

CSC, UCO's classical
radio station, is retiring one of its 10-year veterans and is asking for help in finding a new home for him. Scherzo, the radio station's black and white cat, will be forced to find another home when new furniture arrives. "Scherzo is the Italian word for joke and it's the third
movement of a symphony. He is friendly, but definitely an indoor cat. We just want to find him a nice retirement home," said Brad Ferguson, director of KCSC. Janet Nordgren, a former
KCSC employee, brought Scherzo from the pound to the station about 10 years ago. He is neutered and is current on shots as of June, Ferguson said. "We used to put food out for stray cats, and when the last one died, she went to the pound and got Scherzo," he said. Many people at the station have expressed disappointment in Scherzo being forced to leave, but with all the office renovation that has been done, Ferguson said they want to keep the place clean. Anyone interested in Scherzo should contact Ferguson at 9742415. •

continued from page 1 The current moratorium on unlicensed software gives businesses in Oklahoma City, Atlanta, New York City, Portland, Ore. and Kansas City, Mo. the chance to become compliant. BSA will not hold companies liable if they correct illegal usage before the end of July. "The state requires legal licensure and we follow all state and Regents requirements,') Rolfe said. The biggest problem at UCO is that various departments request different software. Some programs are campus-wide and have site licenses making any computer operating the software legal. UCO's Information Technology (IT) staff will ask for some type of proof, either a purchase order or receipt of purchase, from the user if it does not fall into the sitelicensed category. This information will then be passed along to the BSA staff before the end of the month. Anyone with downloaded software that cannot be verified will have to remove the program. BSA will have a list of licenses to compare against UCO's and might ask the IT staff to show them where these programs are on campus. BSA inspects possible violators based on leads generated through their hotline or online reporting form, said Bauman. "We work with member organizations to see what licenses they have. If a company refuses to let us audit them, then we get a court order and show up with federal marshals. Most companies usually provide voluntary software audits," she said. Rolfe said the university would comply if audited. "We wouldn't just let anyone look into our system," Rolfe said. "It doesn't bother me that they are doing this. It's intellectual property and should be protected." For more information or free audit tools, visit www.bsa.org . ♦

PG-13 Although it was made as a movie component to Squaresoft's popular video game series, this film stands completely independent of the billion-dollar franchise that spawned it. Twodimensional characters and a shaky plot hurt its potential greatness. Its computer-generated graphics are stylish and impeccably realistic. Worth seeing for the visuals, but it could have been much more.

Clint Eastwood is at it again in this story of cranky old men getting their way. Four retired pilots who were passed up for the space program in the '50s fight for their chance to play hero and repair a satellite on a collision course with Earth. This typical Eastwood flick features the expected cliched, gravelly oneliners, customarily followed by a bar room brawl. The movie is otherwise quite entertaining with a not-so-surprise ending.

This British film is the wonderful story of a miner's son who dreams of being a ballet dancer. With his father vehemently against the idea, Billy must fight to show the world his talent. Eventually his father comes around and works to see his son succeed. The British slang and cockney accents makes it difficult for the untrained ear to understand the dialogue at times. Billy Elliot is a movie designed to inspire all that see it.

ith temperatures rising as the summer continues, Labetta Wallenmeyer, director of the Student Health Center, cautions students to consider the dangers of heat exhaustion. Heat exhaustion is initiated when external heat enters the body and cannot exit as rapidly as it's absorbed. According to Wallenmeyer, death can occur in the most severe cases. "You should worry if you stop perspiring," Wallenmeyer said. Heat exhaustion symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, rapid heartbeat, breathing problems, cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, or dry skin. Actions to prevent heat exhaustion may include drinking sports drinks or water every hour when active outdoors. If action is not taken, then heat exhaustion could lead into heat stroke. In this condition body temperature is high, perspiration ceases and consciousness could be lost. "It is most likely to happen when you are doing something that produces heat," Wallenmeyer said. Pati Torbati, Family Nurse Practitioner at the Student Health Center, said to drink water and sports drinks. Water is absorbed quickly, Torbati said, while sports drinks are absorbed over a long

period of time. Consuming both types of drinks reverses the cycle of heat exhaustion quickly and nourishes the body for a longer period of time. In the case of heat stroke, emergency medical attention should be sought immediately. The victim should be moved to a cooler area. The Oklahoma State Health Department warns not to take the
heat for granted because it is deadly. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have produced a pamphlet on heat exhaustion, Extreme Heat, which can be viewed at http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/emergenc y/extreme%2Oheat.pdf.

BY DAVE THE GREAT, STAFF MYSTIC Dave the Great's horoscopes will not be presented in their entirety this week due to a tragic accident involving a vicious bullfrog, a mystical experience and a ham sandwich. Dave was inspecting some crop circles in the countryside near Bath late last Friday. According to eyewitnesses, Dave bent over to have a closer look at a blade of grass, when a large bullfrog jumped onto his head and held on for dear life. His sight obstructed by the bulky amphibian and his hands flailing wildly in the air, our insane columnist panicked and started spouting curse words in Klingon. Witnesses said he shouted something about singing an antidote and soon broke into a loungestyle falsetto rendition of We Are the World. The frightened croaks of the bullfrog, combined with the off-key musical stylings of our staff mystic were dwarfed only by the riotous laughter of the bystanders. Meanwhile, Dave continued to wander blindly through the tall grass, pulling furiously at the frog and singing a happy tune, until he walked onto a warding glyph – an ancient sacred symbol for repelling negativity from an area or one's property. Someone had placed the stone in the center of the crop circle to defend it from unfriendly spirits. Since the glyph was inscribed for protection from evil, physical contact with it caused Dave to vanish in a burst of fire and smoke. Witnesses couldn't say whether he was killed in the incident. Most, however, yawned in indifference. Now how does the ham sandwich relate to all of this, you may ask. It actually doesn't, but our typesetter was very hungry while laying out this issue. We apologize for the error, and the person responsible for the ham sandwich has been sacked. An onlooker found several shreds of paper close to where Dave once stood and mailed them to The Vista. Upon review, we realized these were the remnants of his precious horoscopes. After briefly holding them over a lighted match for a few moments, our fair copy editor decided to interpret what was left for your reading pleasure. As for Dave the Great, it is unknown if he is still alive (not that we really care), but we'll keep you posted. Oh, and you might want to put a few warding glyphs around your home in case he is alive and ever comes to visit. They seem to be pretty effective. Be forewarned: the frog is at large and stealthily searching out his next ham sandwich. If you see him, call your local authorities.

disappearance on April 30 from an efficiency apartment not far from Dupont Circle. All three cases remain unsolved, despite more than $50,000 in rewards for information about the women. "We're not ruling out the possibility that there's a connection between the Levy case and the others," D.C. police spokesman Sgt. Joseph Gentile told Knight Ridder on Friday. Early in their search for Levy, D.C. investigators, theorizing that the Chiang and Levy cases were linked, searched the river shoreline where Chiang's Immigration and Naturalization Service identification card had been found a week before her remains were discovered. D.C. police continued searching for Levy Friday in abandoned or vacant buildings. The searches were not based on any tip or lead, police said. Condit's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, told reporters at a press conference Friday afternoon that his client had passed a privately administered polygraph test by an examiner of Lowell's choosing, during which Condit denied any involvement in Levy's disappearance. •

High bandwidth technology to facilitate videoconferencing at UCO BY MICHAEL LARSON Staff Writer
n May 4, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education launched a computer network application called Internet2 to supply Oklahoma with the latest bandwidth technology. Internet2 will be available to universities, libraries, museums and research facilities through OneNet, a statewide network of educational facilities. Internet2 can transfer data at a gigapop, or one gigabit per second. Kurt Snodgrass, director of marketing and communications for OneNet, said that UCO is paying $67,600 annually for the service. Internet2 access is included in this fee. UCO connects to OneNet through its campus-wide Fast Ethernet line, which transfers at 100 megabits per second. "The primary use for Internet2 is video, because video packets are so large that it just takes a bigger bandwidth," said Cynthia Rolfe, assistant to President Web and UCO's chief technology officer. The Research Corridor, which consists of Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma University and Tulsa University, is currently
0
testing the true capacities of Internet2. All three universities have access to 0C48 lines, which can transfer up to 2.488 gigabits per second, or nearly 2.5 times the total capacity of Internet2. "They want to tax the network and see how the equipment and Cynthia engineering hold up," Snodgrass said. UCO also serves as a router to Edmond high schools, granting them access to Internet2 through UCO's connection to OneNet. When a user is performing a function such as videoconferencing, the computer automatically switches over to an Internet2 connection. "It's all seamless to us," Rolfe said. Phil Moss, Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs for the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and Executive Director of OneNet Applications, said initiating a videoconference over Internet2 would be done automatically. As
long as both endpoints are clients, the conference can be carried over Internet2. Currently, Internet 2 videoconferencing uses the H.323 protocol for transferring highquality video files. A protocol is a set of rules determining the format and Rolfe transmission of data. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education control the state's 25 colleges and universities, two higher education programs, and 10 constituent agencies. They operate OneNet in cooperation with the Office of State Finance. OneNet started in 1992 when Oklahomans voted to set aside $14 million for a statewide network. According to OneNet's web page, "OneNet is not a stateowned utility, but rather a statelead partnership among telecommunications companies, equipment manufacturers and service providers." •
