Her roommate and best friend Sasha Miller describes Clarkson as outgoing, very unique, sensitive, and loving.

"She's very big on community service," Miller said.

"She's involved in everything."

At home, Clarkson praises her family for her upbringing.

"They taught me the difference between right and wrong," Clarkson said.

"My parents also taught me to have good morals and values and to be proud of myself."

Clarkson believes that she has a close relationship with her family.

"I have a younger brother who is 15 and we hardly ever fight," Clarkson said.

She sees her mother as her mentor.

"Everybody probably says their mom (as a mentor), but mine really is," Clarkson said.

"She's a wife, mother, she works, and takes care of the family and she makes everything seem like it's OK." Clarkson believes her own philosophy on life is very true.

"Treat others how you want to be treated," Clarkson said.

Clarkson said the way you treat people will always come back as to how they treat you, whether it's positive or negative.

"And always smile."

State money needed to help renovate old UCO buildings

By Trent Dugas StallWriter ew construction for the decaying UCO I art and music buildings on campus has been on a capitol improvement project list for the past several years.

Keith Weber, research assistant for the president's office, said the administration recognizes the problems with the aging buildings and has been pressing the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education for a solution.

He said the only way for the Regents to answer the problems with UCO's capitol improvement issues is for the Oklahoma State Legislature to appropriate the money.

"There are obviously a number of pressing capital improvement needs on campus and there's just as obvious no money to really meet those needs," Weber said.

"Needs and priorities have to be funded and we don't have the wherewithal to just pull that kind of cash and those kinds of resources out of the air," he said.

Money to meet UCO's capitol

improvement needs, Weber said, might come from the Oklahoma State Legislature.

"There is some speculation that the state legislature will probably consider, in the next session, a capitol improvements bond issue for education," he said.

Weber said the UCO administration has admitted capitol improvements are a priority on campus, as always,

"We would have to look at several things if we were to do that (build a new building). We would assess the existing building and find out what kind of shape it's in.

"And so what we have to determine is whether its cheaper in the long run to add on to the existing building, to tear the old building down and put an entirely new one in its place or to build a new one somewhere else on campus," he said There are obviously a Until U CO number of pressing receives capital improvement funding, needs on campus and students will have to there's just as obvious deal with a soggy no money to really music meet those needs. building Keith Weber and an art building Research Assistant with classes President's Office scattered across money is the issue. campus.

management settles and implements any traffic plans, students need to be cautious when crossing and to "walk that extra five or ten feet to a crosswalk."

Captain Chris Wooldridge from UCO's department of public safety (DPS), said officers on campus do not write tickets for jaywalking.

"It takes a lot of time to stay out there and watch people doing it," Wooldridge said.

"To tell you the truth, I don't know whether Edmond even has a Jaywalking ordinance so we could write them through Edmond and _I don't know how well the state would receive them if we sent them a bunch of tickets for crossing the road illegally."

Wooldridge said jaywalking is a problem on campus and students need to use common sense.

"I've driven along that road

many times where I have been just going alone and they don't look, they just walk out in front of you and then you have to stop or you will hit them," he said.

"A lot of times they don't look before they cross a crosswalk. It's going back to grade school almost, when they tell you to 'look left, right, left' to make sure there is no traffic coming before you cross the road."

He said traffic has slowed down on Ayers since a new stop sign was installed going into the Commons.

"Since they put the divider in the street and with the parking alongside it, people think of it (Ayers) more as just an oncampus street than an actual thoroughfare," Wooldridge —Photo by Chieko Hara said.

hose who pass by the University Center's Consitution Hall the night of Nov. 11 may hear the sound of a fiddle.

The 42nd annual Central Follies will showcase campuswide talent including fiddle playing, piano playing, singing, and comedy, said Vonnie Roderick, sponsor of the University Center Activities Board (UCAB).

The talent show will begin at 7 p.m. and is free to the public.

Fourteen acts will be showcased.

Roderick selected five judges not affiliated with UCO to choose the top three acts, which will receive cash prizes. The amounts have yet to be determined, but last year the winning act received $150.

According to Roderick, the judges are "talented people who are able to recognize real talent."

Audience members will vote for the People's Choice Award,

"It's hard to tell how competitive the Follies will be this year," Roderick said.

"Last year, they were more for fun than anything.

The performers always practice, but it's never been cut-throat."

During the voting, winners from two previous Central Follies will perform.

Marcy Priest, last year's winner, will sing and play the piano. Janet Jobe, 1996

winner, will perform an act with Sean Ridenour that involves singing and playing guitar.

Members of UCAB organized the Follies and will MC the show, said Roderick. Between acts, they will wear costumes on stage that represent different decades. Music from these decades will be played in the background.

"We are hoping for a big crowd this year. Since sororities and fraternities are represented, we expect a good turnout," Roderick said.

`Uncommon' professor talks about common concerns

By Mary Daniel

GuestWriter he professor's office is nothing more than a cubical on the second floor of Old North. Her walls are sparsely decorated with pink lacy wall hangings found in local craft malls.

She appears motherly and common. She looks as if she runs the neighborhood PTA and bakes cookies for her Sunday school class. Closer examination confirmed that the adolescent psychology professor, Barbara Carlozzi is not common.

Tucked away in the corner of her desk is a crystal apple with the inscription "Teacher of the Year."

After hearing her talk, it becomes apparent that she is a deep thinking, reflective person who is caring and selected her career carefully.

The professor's career started in

The professor stated knowledge base to provide positive that "the general attitude about learning experiences for their teenagers today is that they are students, and to remember to tailor materialistic and selfish." She says each learning experience in the that "today's teens are filled with classroom to the individual. social concerns and students Carlozzi also wants her students to preparing to teach these kids understand the importance of being should make an effort to draw positive role models for these concerns out of their

students."

"Many kids are unwilling to share concerns with adults," Carlozzi said. She hopes her students will make the effort to allow the kids in their classrooms to feel comfortable about opening up.

The professor hopes her graduate-level students will acquire the "belief in the power of just listening, and an understanding of human resilience."

When discussing human resiliency Carlozzi mentioned one case that has stayed with her throughout all of her years of teaching and counseling.

She began to cry as she reflected on this difficult case.

Carlozzi was still a school counselor at the time and had a ten-year-old girl come to her for help because she was being sexually abused. In order to put the child's perpetrator behind bars, the

girl had to testify and relive the horrific acts.

Carlozzi told the girl she did not have to go through the court appearance if it would be too difficult for her.

The child replied by saying that if she did not testify then this person might hurt another girl.

Carlozzi said she could not believe how a child who had been through so much could still think of others. It is this type of situation that cemented her belief in human resilience.

Appearances are deceiving.

Carlozzi looks so common.

She chose her field of study after years of experience in the classroom and after years observing human behavior.

Carlozzi is an uncommon woman who hopes to share her understanding of the human spirit and her understanding of adolescents.

KCSC holds annual funding drive

By Robyn Lydick

StaffWriter A smooth, masculine voice pours out from the speakers.

"In 168 hours of the week, we bring you 159 hours of classical music."

So starts Kent Anderson's call for members for KCSC-FM, the classical radio station at UCO. Anderson is the program director, but is an on-air personality, too.

KCSC is holding their fall funding drive. Another drive is held in March.

The station is aiming for $85,000 in pledges.

"A certain percentage of our funding comes from the university," said General Manager Bradford Ferguson.

"The Corporation for Public Broadcasting matches the

pledge amount from the fund drive, and that pays the salaries and program and affiliation fees."

Ferguson said the payroll for the station is around $260,000 and programming runs between $75,000 to $80,000 annually.

Six full-time staff and five part-time staff run the station, Ferguson said.

To cover the cost of running the station, members pledge money to KCSC during fund raising drives.

The station sees the fund drive as an agreement with the listeners.

"When the $80,000 is raised, the drive is over," Anderson said.

"We have a good faith agreement with the listeners."

Ferguson agrees.

"People who pledge to public radio follow through," Ferguson

said.

"It's something they believe in."

Ferguson estimates the station has about 3,000 supporters.

The make up of supporters for the station is varied.

"Out outreach isn't really on campus, although some students, staff and professors do listen," Ferguson said.

"We are the only fine arts station in Oklahoma. Our community is formed of people who love good music," Ferguson said.

Good music isn't exclusively classical at KCSC. "We get a tremendous amount of support for 'A Prairie Home Companion.' It's an expensive program," Ferguson said.

Student honored as Fulbright Fellow

By Robyn Lydick

StaffWriter Theresa Little spent last year teaching English in Nuremberg, Germany as a Fulbright Fellow.

She is the first UCO student to be a Fulbright Fellow.

Little taught students in the last three years of college preparatory school, the equivalent to advanced placement high school courses.

"I had never been to Europe," Little said.

"I applied as a chance to work on my language skills."

Little holds a double bachelor's degree in English and German as well as a bachelor's in music education. Both degrees are from UCO. She is currently working on a master's degree in comparative literature at UCO. Daily life in Germany is very different, Little said.

"I rarely eat breakfast here, but the woman I rented my room from would leave a pot of tea and some bread and jam out for me,"

Get Fit Fast With Fitness Kickboxing

Little said.

"She always asked if I had eaten breakfast."

The landlady was an early trial for Little's skills in German. She spoke no English.

"She was wonderful," Little said. "(Staying with her) really gave me an opportunity to practice my language skills."

The students had taken classes in English before, so communicating with them was not a problem, Little said.

On her days off, Little traveled around the country and made a few trips to England and Poland.

"Some days I would go to Stadt Park to the market place to shop," Little said.

The shops were specialized, one shop carried produce, another carried bread, Little said.

"There was one department store which carried pretty much everything."

Little said the year in Germany helped her.

"It helped my language skills tremendously. I'm in a German class this semester. My experience has helped my ability

to function in that class."

Little joins the ranks of past recipients Maya Angelou, John Updike and Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

Established in 1946, the Fulbi-ight program was designed to increase mutual understanding and peaceful relations between the United States and other countries. The program awards grants for study and research abroad.

"When I left for Germany, I certainly felt I had a lot to live up to," Little said.

"Now that it's over, I feel like I helped a lot of people in Germany get rid of some of their stereotypes of Americans," Little said. "They, in turn, helped me."

Little applied for the Fulbright Fellowship at the urging of Dr. Hans Nollert, chairman of the Department of Foreign Languages, Little said.

"A friend of mine from high school went to the University of Oklahoma and had a Fulbright grant from there," Little said.

A further surprise was awaiting her.

Veterans deserve a 'Thank you,' reader says Dear Editor: lease publish this in honor of Veterans' Day, Nov. 11.

WHAT IS A VET? Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye.

Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg; or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's alloy forged in refinery of adversity.

Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem.

You can't tell a vet just by looking.

What is a Vet? He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating, two gallons a day, making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel.

p

He is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is out weighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 36th parallel.

She is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang.

He is the POW who went away one person and came back another—or did not come home at all.

He or she is the Drill Sergeant who has never seen combat—but saved countless lives by turning slouchy, noaccount rednecks, and gang members into Soldiers, and teaching them to watch each others' backs.

He is the parade-riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medal with a prosthetic hand.

He is three anonymous

Panelists will be: Robert Barcum, executive vice president of Netplex, Inc.; Dan King, human resources manager of Enterprise Rent-A-Car; Pat Fennell, executive director, Latino Community Development Agency; Senator Glen Coffee; and Dr. Doug Fox, UCO executive-in-residence.

UCO football gears up for Northeastern State

By Justin Villines Sportswriter

T

,

his will be the 59th meeting between UCO and Northeastern State and keeping with tradition, this is another game with everything on the line.

The Bronchos capped off its first unbeaten regular season in 15 years and won its first-ever Lone Star Conference championship with a 36-10 route over NSU last year.

This year UCO needs a win over the Redmen to clinch at least a tie for the overall league and LSC North Division titles and a possible spot in the NCAA Division II playoffs.

Both coaches know this will be a tough game and a lot is at

stake.

"We need to rebound from last week, this is traditionally a tough game for us," UCO Head coach Gary Howard said.

The Bronchos are coming off a 20-14 loss to Southeastern Oklahoma in Durant last Saturday. The loss snapped a trio of UCO streaks; 21-straight regular-season wins, 17 consecutive LSC victories and 15 straight road wins.

"This will a big game, there is a lot riding on the outcome," said NSU Head coach Tom Eckert.

Last week the

Redmen thumped Oklahoma Panhandle State, 64-7.

NSU has the No. 1 ranked defense in the NCAA Division

II.

Alton Lusk (8) delivered two touchdown runs in last Saturday's loss to SOSU. The Bronchos next host Northeastern State University.

The stingy Redmen defense is led by defensive back Itis Atkinson with 81 tackles, while linebacker Dallas Curtis has 72 tackles.

UCO's Greg Briley had a streak of his own stopped in the loss against the Savages. Briley had his seven straight 100-plus rushing games snapped, rushing for 93 yards on 21 carries.

The Bronchos defense was led by linebacker Lucas Kerr with 15 tackles and has 72 this season.

Bronchos lose but refuse defeat by critics n emotional inferno swept through the University of Central Oklahoma when the Bronchos were defeated by the Southeastern Savages.

Sometimes a team just wants it so bad that they can't see past their own ambitions.

They were ruthless in their own right, and that is understandable. The spirit of competition was fierce.

Even though I personally felt the loss, the actual defeat was nothing compared to the rage that I felt when I picked up the NCAA rankings Tuesday.

I seem to recall the fact that we were number two in the nation when we went to Southeastern.

Hey, second best is not too bad.

How in the world can a team

that was riding the heels of the pentacle of NCAA rankings suddenly become number 18?

This is not possible. What is the mystical power that allows teams with two and three defeats in their conference to outrank a team with only one loss under their belt?

Well, all of these questions are not easily answered.

As unfair as it seems the NCAA rankings are merely a matter of opinion.

Granted, I am sure there are criteria. However, they seem to be buried in the depths of bureaucracy There is a committee of coaches that cast votes on their favorite teams.

Once the votes are cast they are tallied. The team with the most points gains the king of NCAA standing within their

By: LW. Realtor

vistasports@journalincom division. The same rings true for conference and regional ratings.

Now the real mystery unleashes true wrath.

If teams are tied there is no tangible way to chose which team receives the best ranking.

Am I the only person that is

missing the logic in this system?

Hey, I have been wrong. I am sure there is a perfectly viable explanation as to why we are two points from dropping out of the top twenty in the nation.

The problem is I can not find the reasoning within my analytical brain. More over there are possibly coaches that areon the committee voting on their own teams.

I suppose this is fair because the presidential candidate is allowed to vote for himself. It is the way of politics.

Could NCAA rankings be political?

That is not a question that I can answer. It is so difficult to acquire the small responses. It resembles questioning the emperor collegiate athletics.

I sense a dare. It seems that the ranking masters have told

UCO that we are less than adequate.

I do not believe that for one fleeting nanosecond.

We are Bronchos. We stand in the midst of the fire and watch others burn as we deliver strength through our unity.

Never let the opinions of others drive you to the point frustration.

We are a team. Not only in our arenas, but by the ferocious pounding of the heart of community.

The game belongs to the fans, and the fans belong to the athletes.

It is a continuous cycle feeding from the energy created by the intensity of collaboration.

Go Bronchos! Show the nation that we have more than enough to take it all the way. <

looming over campus, Weber said many factors played into the decisions of which of which colleges received new buildings.

He said since UCO had different administrators when the construction occured, he was

not sure why those colleges received new buildings instead of art and music.

In the last round of construction, Weber said many of the current top administrators were not in the positions they

are today so he could not comment on facts.

"None of the senior leadership of the university were here or they did not occupy decision making positions they do today," he said.

He speculated their growth rate could have been the key concern.

Weber warned not to get any hopes up because it is "way, way too early to tell" if the Oklahoma State Legislature will appropriate improvement funding.

He said when the time comes for governmental debate over capitol bond improvement issues, we can make a difference by contacting legislatures and let them know UCO needs improvement money.

He said the UCO administration has done its job by using the proper channels and informing the proper people.

"In the sense that we have to recognize the challenge we have and the needs we have and prioritize those needs and let that be known to the State Legislature and the State Regents of Higher Education," Weber said.

Dr. Karen Carter, music department chairperson, said the music building is in dire need of renovations or rebuilding.

"The major problem has to do with the water," Carter said.

"We have leaky roofs and anytime it rains a considerable amount of water will get into the building. We are also sitting on top of some kind of water spring." Carter said.

She said the building stays consistently wet and is a health hazard for students and faculty.

"We have a lot of mold and mildew in the building," Carter said.

"It's not healthy at all. They just completed a check on the air quality and there are several rooms that are really high in

mold and mildew count."

Even though the music department needs a new building, she said the lack of money is a recurring problem for a solution.

Dr. Bob Palmer, chairperson and associate professor of visual art and design, said the art program is a nuisance to other buildings on campus because the art classes are scattered in other buildings.

Palmer said the other buildings could use the space the art classes are occupying.

He said the art program has classes in the new education building, the library, in Wantland Hall, the new wing of the science building and in the art, and liberal arts building.

"Believe it or not, we use to all be contained in this (art) building," Palmer said.

"From here (art building) we went to the industrial arts building then they tore that building down and that is when we got dispersed."

Palmer said the art building's lack of space is a problem with students and faculty and he hopes to see the art program united once again in the future.

Continued from page 7 "Prairie Home Companion" is a mix of storytelling and folk music.

Anderson continues the folk theme on Saturdays with "Different Roads," his folk show.

"I started folk oriented programming in 1983 as a student employee," Anderson said.

"Bluegrass has a more sincere sound (than country), and if you go to the roots of bluegrass, you find Appalachian music, which goes back to Celtic music."

Celtic music is featured on "Celtic Connections," hosted by Bryan Kelso Crow.

The folk block begins at 5 p.m. on Saturdays.

Other offerings are "Music from the Hearts of Space," electronic and acoustic music and "Schickele Mix," which shows how various genres of music relate to one another.

Anderson sees the station as

an "alternative to crass commercialism."

"So much of what is on commercial radio is junk. So much is corporate," Anderson said.

"Three corporations own the radio stations in Oklahoma City.

They have no connection to the area."

Anderson minces no words in his opinion of the state of radio.

"Good radio is local radio."

Free music offered on MP3 website

By Trent Dugas

StatrAriser

I

f you are like me, an outof- cash, college student partaking of a UCO education, then you may find it just as difficult buying new music for your listening pleasure.

Between eating day-old donuts from the trash at Dunkin' Donuts and bottling my own drinking water from a drainage ditch, I have found something free.

Free music to be exact.

All you need to do is obtain a computer, which seems easier to find than my next meal, and log onto the World Wide Web. Once on the Internet, maneuver your browser to www.mp3.com .

This site contains thousands of downloadable, free songs in every genre of music.

MP3.com carries over 150 different categories of music from death metal and Jazz fusion to East Coast rap and technoacid.

Most groups on the site are not popular, mainstream artists but still, the music on the site is free with the click of a mouse.

You can listen to the songs from the web-site or download them onto your computer.

The music uses the latest technology of MP3 encoding which is faster to download and takes less room than a normal music file.

The drawback is that MP3 encoding can only play on an MP3 player which is not common outside your computer.

Also on the site is free software you can download to play your new music on your computer. You can also download music software to convert normal music files to MP3 and convert MP3 to normal music files.

If you are lucky and the ,umpu' r you are using has a CD burner then making your own compilation of music is a good idea.

The MP3 file is so small while maintaining the best quality, that you can burn around 150 songs onto a CD. Try MP3.com and find out what is making the record industry so nervous: free music. <

This site contains thousands of downloadable, free songs in every genre of music.

The Ebony Gospel Choir performed on Friday, November 5 in Constitution Hall.

Ebony Gospel Choir gives performance of the century

By Ercilia Zolkiewicz

Staffigriter, "Shout with us!"

"Praise with us!" • "Worship with us!" shouted Blanche Washington, director of human resources, of the audience dancing and clapping before her.

The rhythmic sounds of UCO's Ebony Gospel Music and Arts Choir (EGMA) filled Constitution Hall on Nov. 5.

"The Rhythm and the Praise" is a well deserved title for the exciting, lifting music of these talented performers.

Michael E. Johnson, Sr., EGMA Choir music and arts director, called to the audience, "If you are a believer, if you know Jesus Christ is Lord, give Him a high praise in the house!"

A solid "Amen!" rose from the audience.

"We're going to lift up in the name of Jesus!" Johnson exclaimed.

Scene Two's theme was "Old School."

In this act, the choir dressed as an old school congregation. The audience laughed as the artists combined comedy with spiritual sounds. The EGMA Choir sang "We've Come This Far by Faith" and "Lord Help Me to Hold Out." Scene Three's hip-hop style included rap artists and UCO students Tre' Anderson and Isaac Onalapo.

The EGMA dancers' performance created the atmosphere of a dance club on stage.

Billy "Tre" Hodge, III, Varee Smith, and Fran Castleberry captivated the audience with poems.

Two mime performers, Raymond Washington and DeAngelo Hill stole the hearts of a few young girls as they slid across the stage in concentrated, yet flowing movements.

"They are cool. Tight," said 11-

year-old Chelsea Williams.

Scene Four set the stage for the finale. Rhea Jenkins played a young girl who prayed to God in hopes that her grandmother would allow her to go to "The Spot," a Christian club where young people sing, dance, mime, and site poetry in their praise.

"Rhythm and the Praise" with a little bit of worship was the set for Scene Five.

The audience became one with the choir as Johnson asked them, "Go up to two people and give them a God hug and tell them that we're going to have a good 21st century."

"This is the last concert of this century and He deserves a 21st century standing ovation!"

The Ebony Gospel Music and Arts Choir captivated the zest of Christian sounds in an awesome, uplifting performance.

Johnson was not exaggerating when he said, "It'll be a night you won't want to miss."

xactly two years ago, The Vista printed a commentary about how UCO failed to recognize Veterans' Day. The reporter commented that the school calendar did not even list this holiday.

Sadly, nothing has changed.

One letter to the editor was submitted (page 11) for this issue, but aside from that, nothing has been said.

It seems that most students take their freedom for granted by never considering whose sacrifice was made to ensure it. It would not even be surprising if this was the first students heard of Veterans' Day being honored today.

Over five hundred students do know what day it is.

They are the veterans who attend this campus.

This is not to preach to students about how they should respect their freedom. It is to plead for them to find out why they should honor those who fought for their freedom. Thank you, veterans.
