Par ing vultures at prey

Stop following me! I'm not giving you my parking spot...I'm going to class.

Vista staffer noticed students vulturing over parking spaces in hopes of parking ten feet closer to the building. In one instance, there were spaces a few feet beyond the particular space in question. One green car came up, spotted a person getting into a car, and decided to wait for the space. Another car pulled up behind the first waiting car. No one moved. The staffer had parked several spaces away and was walking into the building while the now line of cars was still sitting as they were. As the staffer opened the door to the building, the parked car pulled out of the space for which the other car was waiting. The green car pulled into the space and the waiting cars sped past. The driver of the green car saved about thirty feet of walking distance and wasted six minutes. What is this besides laziness or rudeness? The drivers who had to wait to pass the green car may have been late for their class because of a miniature traffic jam in the parking lot. There are adequate numbers of parking spaces. They may not be in the best location, but in contradiction to what real estate agents may say, location is not everything.

Continued from front page disproportionately large amount of the cuts, which will go into effect in fall 2000. Jobe, a senior, volunteered the student organizations to take the brunt of the shortfall, said Roberson. "Jarrett stepped forward, very bravely, and said that they would take half," Roberson said. "I am going to stand with Jarrett," Roberson said. Jobe has considerable influence in the budget process as the president of the student body and the only student on the recommending committee. "I feel that it would be in our best interest for us to take the larger cut," Jobe said. "I have line item veto power

over the budget," Jobe said. "I support this cut because two years ago we (UCOSA) received a 400 percent increase when no other area got that amount," Jobe said. The UCOSA senate objects to the manner in which the cut is managed. "It is my job to be opposed to this, because I represent the student organizations," Harrison said. "I do not want any one area to take a larger cut than any other." "I like to think that the administration will be receptive to student concerns and accept the proposal," Harrison said.

Final decision on the recommendation will be made at a later date, with President Webb having final say in the matter. "Information will be compiled. What we are looking at right now is that UCOSA has put forth two separate recommendations," said Gage. "My own committee met on what to do about cuts in these areas, I have to merge this data," Gage said. The cuts will not take effect until the close of enrollment for the fall semester when the actual amount of the student activity fee revenue will be known.

REFERENDUM Continued from front page It would also be a necessary first step in the initiation of 24-hour room visitation, he said. The proposal received 124 "no" votes and 112 "yes" votes, constituting a 52.4 percent rejection. Only residents of the dorms voted on the 24-hour desk operation proposal because residents of the Commons would not be affected by the results. "I thought this proposal might have passed because it dealt with a primary need — safety. I'm surprised it didn't receive more support," Duncan said. Teeters was also surprised the proposal did not pass and thought that some students may have voted it down because it was presented alongside the cable proposal. "For security purposes, I would like to see it pass in the future. We [RHA] will keep students informed about the proposal and maybe put it to a vote again in the future,"

she said. Duncan said the university may need to address the 24hour desk operation in the future. "It is definitely a topic worthy of future consideration," he said. Now that student support has been measured for the proposals, they will be sent to UCO's administration. "They will know that the students clearly rejected the cable proposal and narrowly rejected the lobby visitation proposal," Duncan said. "Following the voice of the students, I will recommend that neither proposal be implemented. I hope the administration follows the students' will," Duncan said. Both Duncan and Teeters were pleased with the way the referendums were conducted. "The process went very well. I hope RHA will continue to be true to the student voice," Teeters said.

Marine Corps Band trumpeter joins UCO's music department By Zach Anderson

StaffWriter

CO trumpeters now have the privilege of learning from a former member of the United States Marine Corps Band. World renowned trumpet virtuoso Jim Klages has found a home in the UCO music department. Klages is a native of Long Island, New York and has been playing the trumpet since the age of eight. "I discovered the trumpet during elementary school music," Klages said. "I fell in love with it because it was fun, and because it was an outlet, a way of expression. And, of course, I've had a certain measure of success with it." Klages graduated from Fredonia University in upstate New York in 1981, then went on to pursue his master's and

doctorate degree at Indiana University in Bloomington. He has since taught at universities in Kentucky, Indiana, and Colorado. "I love teaching," Klages said. "When I'm teaching, I feel I'm passing on a tradition through the music, by teaching others to follow the thought processes of the great composers. "To pass that on to someone else is the ultimate gift. I love performing, but teaching is the ultimate." While teaching at Wesley College in Kentucky, Klages was offered the opportunity to audition to become a member of the elite Marine Corps Band. As a result of the audition, Klages became the first person in the 20th century to be selected by the Marine Corps Band for the sole purpose of being a trumpet soloist.

Klages feels that being a part of the Marine Band is one of his crowning achievements in music. "Being a part of a tradition that dates back to Thomas Jefferson, a great tradition, completely uncorrupted, that is nothing but music, and music being played at the highest conceivable level possible. It's a terrific and wonderful honor." During his tenure as a member of the Marine Corps Band, Klages was on hand to play for former president Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev during a leaders summit meeting, and has performed for former president George Bush. But his true love is teaching. "I feel we have things in our lives we are called upon to â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Photo provided

Lewis College in Durango, Colo. However, the beauty of the Rocky Mountains wasn't enough to keep him there. "I was too far away from everything. It was like a two hour drive to the airport to get anywhere. I wanted to come some place more connected." A call from a friend tipped Klages off to an opening at UCO and he was hired as professor of trumpet in August. "I love it here," Klages said. "The people in Oklahoma are so incredibly friendly. It's a wonderful place to live." Klages says he is excited about the level of talent available here at UCO, and hopes to open new doors for aspiring UCO musicians. "In the past, there have been

`Boiler Room' lukewarm, reviewer says By N. David Owens

Staff mer

ew Line Cinema's current release "Boiler Room" is an interesting glimpse into the strange world of the twentysomething millionaire culture that is emerging in today's financial markets. A testosterone-driven saga about quick money, fast cars, and young male sociopaths bragging about physical endowment while throwing more racial epithets than Hitler Youth rally, "Boiler Room" revolves around college drop-out Seth Davis (Giovani Ribisi), who runs an illegal casino out of his apartment until he meets two senior partners from the brokerage firm J. T. Marlin casually throwing away $50,000 a night at the card tables. Lured by the promise of quick wealth and a respectable job to please his domineering father (Ron Rifkin), Davis joins the firm as a stock broker trainee, only to be caught up in a web of illegal activity that threatens his sanity, his father's federal judgeship and his freedom. The complete degeneration of Davis from a fairly normal, if dysfunctional, young man into a total leech on society and back again is fascinating to watch. Davis's first day on the job was very much like a Hitler youth rally or an Amway convention on crack, with Jim Young (Ben Affleck) indoctrinating his group

To say this movie was predictable would be like saying the sudden and complete burial of Pompeii under millions of tons of volcanic ash was a mild concern to its inhabitants .

of recruits into the lifestyle of the millionaire for what seems like milliseconds before sending the group of scared young men out into the utter chaos of the trading floor. This is Affleck's only actual contribution to the movie, except for one scene where he sits on a couch drinking beer and watching TV. Affleck's total screen time was around five minutes, yet he receives top billing for this film. Davis becomes one of the best brokers in the firm, bilking people out of their life savings with stock scams that he is conveniently blind to until one of his clients looses his house and family when his bank account is thrown away on a bogus medical stock. To say this movie was predictable would be like saying the sudden and complete burial of Pompeii under millions of tons of volcanic ash was a mild concern to its inhabitants. The only aspect of this film that is not completely compromised by the time the commercials have been viewed is the color of Davis's minivan. It's gray. Director Ben Younger creates a cut 'n' paste backdrop reminiscent of "Goodfellas" combined with "The Finn" to create a fast-paced film that slows down to accentuate emotional conflicts. For the most part, it works well, but lacks the depth of similar works. Younger is a good scene director, but does not have the talent to put all the scenes together in the final product. This film is not without its good parts. Davis's love interest Abby (Nia Long) shows a level of skill and range that we have not seen since her acting debut in "Boyz in the Hood." Ribisi, whom is mostly remembered for his recurring role in the TV series "Friends" as Frank Jr., plays the classic neurotic generation "X" looser with emotion and flair. But the main wonder of this film is the accuracy in which it mirrors one of the main jobs available to twenty something's today— telemarketing. No matter how you wrap it up in nice cars and fancy suits, this

movie makes it clear that stock trading is basically the same concept as selling magazine subscriptions to random people in the phone book. In one witty scene, Ribisi coaches a telemarketer who calls him at breakfast, only to crash his ego seconds later. Staffed by people in their early 20s, with the promise of quick money always waving, yet only going to the select few, telemarketing is marginally less painful than a root canal performed by a drunken gorilla wielding a Black & Decker concrete drill. If you liked "Goodfellas," you will like this movie, but I would still wait until it hits the cheap theaters and smuggle in my own soda. Since I do not have any stars laying around The Vista's office, I give "Boiler Room" three and one-half broken pencils. It would have been four broken pencils if I was able to figure out the logic behind giving an "R" rating to a movie with no nudity, drugs, or appreciable violence. ,Z.n Rating:
