he 2002 Bronchos wrestling team, which broke the school record for wins, will be coming home victorious from the NCAA Division II National Championship after claiming its 13th national title in school history March 9..

UCO wrestling finished on top of the nation with 128 team points defeating their main rival No. 2 North Dakota State's 116.5.

The Bronchos also boast four individual champions and seven All-Americans of the eight national qualifiers competing in the two-day event.

"What a great, great effort from our team," exclaimed an exuberant Head Coach David James. "We came here really focused on winning a national

championship and we wrestled extremely well for two days."

On Friday, March 8, UCO won six of its eight matches in the first round, trailing two-time defending national champion North- Dakota State Bisons 11-10.5.

After the quarterfinals, the Bronchos moved to the lead with 61.5 points to the Bison's 58 through six quarterfinal and two consolation match wins, while losing only one man to tournament elimination.

Saturday, March 9, dawned a new day on many battered and bruised wrestlers thirsting for more. The Bronchos moved through the semifinals to place five men in the final round for the crown.

Leading this championship team were individual champion crown winners Cole Province at 133, 141-pounder Matt Dodgen, Shawn Silvis at 165, and Muhammed Lawal at 197. Jeff

UCO dominated the division from 1991-95 with four national titles and several individual crowns. This season's title was the Bronchos first championship since '95.

UCO wrestling has, however, produced two runner-up finishes, a plethora of individual crowns, and All-American wrestlers at various weight classes.

LETTERS Student says Ames is 'virtuous man'

I

am writing in response to your article regarding child molestation charges brought against John "Cooper" Ames, who has worked at UCO's Wesley Foundation for the past 11 years.

I am a UCO student and have been going to the Wesley for the past three years. Cooper has been nothing but a friendly, supportive, virtuous man who loves the Lord and adores helping children and college students alike.

The UCO Wesley is supportive of a local children's shelter, and

every year parties, dances, and other events are planned for the children at the shelter (including Halloween and Christmas parties, anda recent Mardi Gras party). I have never seen Cooper compromise his positibn of authority with the hundreds of children he's around everyday — children who adore him.

I am saddened to hear of these allegations. For one, they will destroy his position and career permanently. Secondly, he will be sorely missed by each and

every one of the Wesley Foundation members.

I am praying for Cooper, his family, and the rest of the Wesley Foundation. May they seek faith, strength, and hope in the Lord always — through the good and the bad.

God Bless, Jennifer Woods UCO Junior (major withheld by request)

Journalism department receives $500,000 endowed chair

BY LAURA BELLO

Senior Writer he UCO journalism department received the largest financial gift in its history in February. The Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation of Oklahoma City donated $250,000 to fund an endowed chair in the department.

The Board of Regents will match the gift, which brings the total to $500,000.

The department will use the interest drawn from the money to fund the Edith Kinney Gaylord Endowed Chair of Journalism Ethics, said Journalism Department Chairman Dr. Terry Clark. The interest rate will be at least 5 percent and may increase as

national rates rise. This means at least $25,000 for next year, he said.

Clark said the department has not made a decision on who will be their endowed chair. It may be a faculty member who will focus on developing the ethics program.

The course will be a requirement for all journalism majors.

Clark is developing a syllabus for the fall semester similar to a

rater knowp for a steady hand. In these volatile t an help pitpple build portfolios that are anything Novi-she saves all the theatrics for the s

course that is offered at the University of Indiana in Indianapolis.

"Ethics is defined as a set of . moral principles and values and standards expected by a unit of society," he said.

Clark said that after the Sept.

1 I: terrorist attacks, developing ethics is pertinent.

"Ethics is more important than ever in media and journalism because people are extremely mistrusting [of the press] because of treatment of people in the past," Clark said.

The role of the media is to inform the public, he said.

"A free society needs a responsible press to keep us informed," he said.

Clark hopes the new courses on ethics will make UCO's journalism department a flagship for journalists across the country.

This is the third grant the journalism department has received from the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation. The other grants funded the Victims in the Media course taught by Dr. Kole Kleeman.

Edith Kinney Gaylord founded the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation of Oklahoma City in 1982.

She was the first and only woman on the general news staff of the Washington Bureau of the Associated Press in 1943.

Gaylord invested much time and money to promote excellence in journalism. She died in January 2001.

Edith Gaylord is the sister of Edward K. Gaylord, the owner of

The Oklahoman.

UCO has two other fully endowed chairs each worth $500,000. The Barnabas Chair is in the College of Business and the Inez Miller Chair is in the College of Education, said Executive Director of the UCO Foundation Dr. Nancy Mills.

She said the Board of Regents will match any amount that is given to support a faculty position or department.

Other endowments the Regents support include the artist-inresidence in the College of Music worth $200,000 and the Bamabas Endowed Lectureship for Emerging Technology in the College of Business worth $54,000.

The first Endowed Chair was received in 1996, Mills said.

"This really is a prestigious thing," she said. •

The professional recording studio is also on the second floor.

"Only a handful of universities in the country have anything like this," said recording studio Director Brian Gorrell, a UCO alumnus.

The recording equipment is stacked on a shelf by Gorrell, who sits in front of the control board and a computer. A keyboard sits on the table on his other side.

Right now, Gorrell is the only person that knows how to work everything in the studio, he said.

the room where musicians will perform to immortalize their music.

"We'll also be able to record the performances on stage if we want to," Gorrell said.

The microphones above the stage area are wired to the recording studio, he said.

The studio will serve both commercial and educational purposes when it officially opens in May. "We will be able to rent the studio out for recording commercial jingles or other purposes," Gorrell said.

"That will be a source of revenue for the Jazz Lab." Some courses will be developed

to teach students the technology in the recording studio.

"We are actually looking into maybe adding a commercial music master degree here," Gorrell said.

Gorrell said the Jazz Lab will be a wonderful addition to the UCO Jazz program "Any musician knows that the way you learn is by performing."

After the grand opening, live music will begin at 8 p.m. on Thursdays with a $7 cover charge and Fridays and Saturdays with a $5 cover charge. Hideaway Pizza will play recorded music on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Fund drive created for accused director

BY JERA STONE

Staff Writer everal friends of the UCO Wesley Foundation director accused of child molestation have set up a bank account at the Investtrust, the trust department of the First Fidelity Bank, to accept donations.

Bill Junk, who has known Ames for 25 years, said the donation will be used, for Ames's legal and living expenses.

Junk said that he believes Ames will be exonerated in the end.

"Cooper's a good guy, he didn't do it," Junk said Adrian Cole, senior minister at the New Convenant Church in Edmond, said he was saddened by the news of the arrest.

"I know him pretty well and I don't know what exactly happened," Cole said "We are just trying to get him some support, and we are also praying for the two girls and

S

their fathilies,," Due to the nature of the charges against Ames, the church is not sponsoring the funding account, Cole said "We are just making people aware that the fund is set up, and give them the information," Cole said.

The donations are taxable contributions, Cole said Cole and Junk had both talked to Ames since the day of his arrest.

"He's feeling a lot of stress, and he's just in a state of shock that this is happening," Junk said Cole said; "We are just hoping that the truth will come out either way."

People who wish to donate to the fund should send the donation to the Cooper Ames Fund on 5101 N. Classen Blvd.

UCO wrestling dominates on national level

BY DARA LAWLESS

Sports Writer

he University of Central Oklahoma is now home to the best team in the nation for NCAA Division II wrestling after clenching its 13th national title in Kenosha, Wisconsin Mar. 8-9.

This two-day event was a showdown between the best of the best in Division II wrestling and required every ounce of endurance, skill, and mental toughness from each competitor.

The_ first round was highlighted

by Matt Dodgen's electrifying 13second pin in the first period of his 141 match. Chris Saferite at 125 took his match over the top 13-7. Cole Province at 133 faced down his opponent 7-3 and 165pounder Shawn Silvis came out victorious with a 15-2 major decision.

Jeff Henning (184) won 7-1, while Muhammed Lawal cruised to a 23-7 technical fall win at 197.

Michael Barreras (149) and Nathan Gomez (157) dropped to the consolation round after taking

T

a loss apiece.

UCO took the lead in the quarterfinals with a 5-3 win from Saferite and Province's tough 5-4 match win. Dodgen, who trailed 2-0, turned the tables on his opponent with a reverse to the back for the fall.

Silvis took out the No. 4 ranked defending champion 11-6 in his quarterfinal bout. Henning captured his match easily 8-2 and Lawal trounced his opponent with a 13-5 major decision.

Barrefas bounced back from his loss with a pin and a 10-7 victory, but Gomez fell just short 12-7 in his match.

March 9, the final day of nationals, featured the semifinal and final round to decide who would be the last man standing.

Saferite moved on to the finals with a 6-3 victory, followed by Province's in-control 8-2 match win. Dodgen pulled out a 5-3 overtime win on a takedown in the final 30 seconds.

Silvis pushed his way into the finals 8-3. Henning fell in his semifinal bout 4-2, but bounced back for two wins to take the bronze. Barreras moved through

the consolation bracket with four consecutive wins and placed fourth.

Finally the last showdown arrived with just two men left in each weight class and UCO holding five contenders in the final face-off.

Province defended his 133pound title by an 11-3 major decision. Dodgen took the 141 crown 5-4 over his No.1 seeded opponent, breaking a 2-2 tie in the third with a near fall and holding on to the end.

Silvis slid past the opposition 3-2 for the 165-weight crown.

Muhammed Lawal virtually unchallenged in the tournament became the 197 champion in his 8-4 match victory. Saferite fell in the final 125 match to take runner-up.

The selfless and whole-hearted efforts of every Broncho grappler put 128 team points on the board to take the most anticipated award of all and title UCO, National Champions. All of this gives UCO students one more reason to proudly sport their bronze and blue. •

K

yle Dover pitched the first no-hitter in recent school history and the Bronchos broke out of a hitting funk to crush Nebraska—Kearny in a double header at Broncho Field, March 10.

Dover, a senior who missed all of last season with an injury, gave a standout performance among a year of standout pitching performances for the Bronchos.

Two seasons ago, Dover was selected as a first-team All-LSC North Division player. He finished the season with an 8-2 record and 2.35 ERA. PHOTO SERVICES Prior to the 2000 season, Senior Kyle Dover pitches Sunday afternoon. He overcame four UCO Dover pitched in limited action

with the Oklahoma Sooners before transfering to UCO. UCO's hitters combined for only two runs on two hits, but proved enough for the stellar pitching display.

Josh Hilburn supplied the offense with his third home run of the year.

The Broncho hitters finally got their swing back in the second game, hammering out 20 hits in a punishing 26-4 victory.

Mike Hill had six RBI's including his first homer of the year and scored four runs on three hits to lead the offense..

Rothy Briggs added four RBI's while Bryan Coy had three RBI's, three hits and four runs.

Red-shirted freshman reserve, Jon Elliot made the most of his two at bats with two hits and three RBI's. Barrett Whitney added three RBI's on two hits.

Ricky Belk improved to 3-1 on

Whether you're seeking your first teaching experience, or a first-class teaching experience, California is your answer.

We're seeking graduating and experienced teachers to lead our six million students into the future. And we're hiring in all areas of the state, for many types of teaching positions.

Kindergarten through third grade classes now have 20 or fewer pupils per class.

Schools receive financial incentives for reducing class sizes in other grades, too.

California has a uniquely diverse population, and we're looking for teachers who embrace these differences and use them to enhance the learning environment.

Because the Classroom Reduction Act of 1996 reduced class sizes to 20 students per teacher in grades K-3, we have a renewed need for teachers in those grades.

We also have a great need for teachers who specialize in math, science, ESL/bilingual education and special education at all grade levels.

The medication is designed to be given once a month with an injection under the skin, rather than a pill taken once a day.

Bring your teaching degree toCalifornia Our commitment to education translates into real benefits for teachers: Starting salaries of $34,000 to 544,000 for first year teachers; up to $19,000 in grants for education loans; no-money-down mortgages with low interest rates; and other incentives for teachers in areas of high need.

We need you in California. It's easy to get here.

Time travel adventure exciting; novel adaptation falters

BY JERA STONE Staff Writer

.G. Wells's groundbreaking science fiction, The Time Machine, is once again adapted to screen. This time, Wells's great-grandson, Simon Wells (Prince of Egypt), is calling the shots as the director of the film.

Unfortunately, Wells had apparently decided to chop off all the thought-provoking social elements from great-grandpa's novel, and instead made this movie an action/adventure/romance.

Sounds like one of those comeand-go summer blockbuster movies, doesn't it?

Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential) is the Columbia University professor Alexander Hartdegen who decides to invent the time machine in order to go back in time and change the past for the woman he meant to marry.

After realizing he could not accomplish that mission in the past, he decides that he needs to

Alexander's mode of transportation, the time machine, with the its brass bars, glass knobs, and bright spinning lights, looks quite convincing as a vehicle into time. The special effects of this film is done quite well, with enough elaboration to wow you and not trying too hard to make it cheesy.

The script by John Logan sometimes lacks direction, but has plenty of action to satisfy adventurous minds, as long as you are not expecting mind-boggling sequences or surprising endings.

The romance angle in the film gives Pearce's character a singular purpose for his actions instead of being a scientist who is curious about everything. I get this eerie feeling that I might be watching Groundhog Day when Alexander goes back to the past in the first part of the movie.

Wells does show flair as a director who knows how to frame the shots and makes the movie look stunning. I love the brilliance that allows the audience to see a scene of Alexander in the future and his friend and housekeeper in the present.

Bottom line, forget about the novel and just enjoy the film, be amazed at what technology could do, and take a gigantic ride with Pearce. •

AROUND THE NATION Students urge Indiana University to remove Ku Klux Klan mural FROM WIRE REPORTS

Associated Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Some students at Indiana University are pressing school officials to remove a mural that has been hanging in a classroom since 1941, saying the image of Ku Klux Klan members and a burning cross creates a hostile learning environment.

The 12-foot-square painting by the late artist Thomas Hart Benton, one of 26 murals commissioned by the General Assembly in 1932 to depict Indiana's history, has become a rallying cry for the university's Black Student Union.

Members say the painting hanging in Woodburn Hall symbolizes the problems on campus for minorities, while others say removing it could be costly and damage the mural.

"Students understand that art is controversial," Marshawn Wolley, Black Student Union president, said last week. "But in a classroom where I'm trying to learn about psychology or political science, I don't need to be confronted with images of the Ku Klux Klan to be enlightened."

Chancellor Sharon Brehm promised about 60 students at a town hall meeting last week that

she would decide the painting's fate on March 25.

"We're very committed to diversity. We want all of our students to feel comfortable on campus," Brehm said. "Also, we want to be a campus known for freedom of artistic and intellectual expression."

The Black Student Union, which has complained of too few minority students and faculty members, verbal harassment and a lack of events and funds for blacks on campus, decided to tackle the issue after several students complained.

Members have complained to the university's racial incidents team and are considering legal action and protests, depending on the school's response.

Of 35 complaints to the racial incidents team, all but four favor covering the mural during classes or removing it for display in a museum or elsewhere on campus with the rest of the Benton murals, said • Pam Freeman, director of IU's office of student ethics and anti-harassment programs.

Four people said IU should not touch it.

A plaque placed near the mural explained that it was not intended to glorify the Klan. The

university also created a video about 10 years ago to educate students about Benton's work and the mural to stress that he was trying to depict a negative point in state history.

Faculty members who taught in the room were *ordered to show the video to students, but Freeman and black students said the video is rarely shown.

"The effort to educate has failed," said Freeman, who agreed the mural should be moved. "The emotional turmoil it causes to see that image is very distracting."

White students and other minority students also are speaking out in favor of moving the mural.

"I understand the history of it, and I don't want to hide it," said junior Brian Daviduk, 20, who is white. "But you go to school to learn and become educated. If the mural hinders that, it doesn't have a place in the classroom." •
