Campus tour opens doors for students by Rick Russick Staff Writer Attempting to experience a day of college life, developmentally disabled high school students toured Central's campus Nov. 11. As part of the Oklahoma "Tech-Now" project, 50 students from the Oklahoma City area met professors, sat in classes, met college students and were presented with college information. Dr. Donna Kearns, professor of Education and Special Services, assisted the students on the campus tour. "I put together a scavenger hunt for the students. By giving them small assignments, the students were instructed to visit various areas of campus," she said. "By doing this, the students learned what it's like to live in a dorm and even register for classes. Basically, they would become a college student for a day," she said. Funded by the Oklahoma Developmental Disabilities Council, the Tech-Now project gives students with disabilities the opportunity to access the latest technology and explore

the job market. Kearns said that although for some students, the process may take a long time, the project is designed to help students succeed, "For some students the process may take one year and for others, four years. It really

doesn't matter. By using technology, students build technology," Kearns said that in a past assignment, the students were instructed to build and design their own cereal box. The students were given a brief outline of tasks they would need to accomplish. She said that by gathering their own materials and sketching out their design ideas, the students had to scan photographs or images onto a flop-

py disk and then transfer them to the layout design of the box. Each cereal box contained useful information and facts about the career the student was interested in. Cereal inside the box might be shaped like different objects used in the career or the name might revolve around the job. Examples listed inside the Tech-Now handbook include names like "Frosted Shuttles" for an astronaut and "StockO's" for a stockbroker. Kearns said that the TechNow program is an excellent hands-on experience for disabled students and that they should be given a chance like everyone else. "I think people with either emotional or mental disabilities have abilities as well," she said. Kearns said many students at Central are disabled in one way or another. Some students even have athletic scholarships to other schools. "Just because [students] are disabled, doesn't mean they can't learn," she said. "Many disabled people have hidden talents that many of us can only dream of."

Music Theatre to open 'She Loves Me'

Jay Kiottinger (Georg) and Regan Schreier rehearse their lines for the musical 'She Loves Me' Nova 7 in Mitchell Hall.

The University of Central Oklahoma School of Music will present the popular musical "She Loves Me" at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 13 through 15 and at 2 p.m. Nov. 16 in UCO's Mitchell Hall Theater. The music for "She Loves Me" was written by the legendary team Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, who also are responsible for the Broadway hit "Fiddler on the Roof." The story is based on the classic movie "The Shop Around the Corner," and was the inspiration for the popular 1998 film "You've Got Mail" starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. In the production, "Georg" and "Amalia" work together at a perfumery in 1930's Budapest. They cannot stand each other at work, as they are constantly bickering. The bright spot in each of their lives is the romance each is having with an anonymous admirer via the mail. However, neither knows they are actually writing each other. "The show has an ageless human sincerity about it, and it is captivating by nature. You can't help but fall in love

student Writer Chesley Stiggers was crowned Miss Black and Gold 2003 November 9th in Central's Constitution Hall. Along with the title of Miss Black and Gold, Stiggers competed with four other contestants to receive $500 in scholarship money. "I knew I had tough competition and I was very surprised when they announced me the winner," she said. The pageant began with the contestants dancing to "Queen of the Night," by Whitney Houston. Stiggers, along with contestants, Tamarah Moore, Tanischa Williams, Candy Davis, and Shekemah Wallace modeled swimsuit and evening gowns, competed in the talent portion and answered questions onstage. Stiggers performed a monologue "Thank you," which she said showed her gratitude toward the

Lord and all that he has done for her, kept her through and blessed her with. She said that practice was a time commitment and that she felt that she committed her time and was devoted to being at every practice. Other awards were given at the pageant as well. Stiggers, also received the People's Choice Award, chosen by the audience during competition. Moore was runner up and received a trophy for selling the most ads. Miss Sisterhood was Wallace and Stiggers. Stiggers was also honored with the Miss Talent Award. Stiggers, a junior corporate communications major, said she is thankful and feels blessed to receive the title of Miss Black and Gold. She was sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha, which she said has done a lot for the African-American community.

with these characters," said Greg White, producer and director of the musical. The show includes many memorable songs, including "Vanilla Ice Cream." This tune closes the first act, with Amalia professing her love when her secret admirer brings her vanilla ice cream to cheer her up. At intermission, the audience can enjoy a treat of vanilla ice cream in the Mitchell Hall lobby, courtesy of Blue Bell Ice Cream. The show stars Michael Dalke as Georg, Jessica Chesbro and Lindsie Van Winkle as Amalia, Jay Krottinger as Kodaly, Natalie Fisher and Stephanie Long as Ilona, Matt Meyerdirk as Maraczek, Jeff Johnson and Michael Renya as Sipos, and James Grigsby and Thomas Owens as Arpad.

Two Holocaust survivors will speak of their experiences of living in Nazi Germany at 7 p.m. on Nov. 13, in the Constitution Hall of Nigh University Center. "This is a compelling story about the evil side of men, but at the same time it is about the good side of humanity," said Dr. Jeff Plaks, history professor and Holocaust expert. Ruth Steinfeld and Lea Weams were born in the early 1930s in western Germany. The Jewish sisters will tell their memories of Kristallnacht, or "The Night of Broken Glass," which occurred on the nights of Nov. 9 and 10, 1938. On these evenings Nazis targeted Jews across Germany and Austria, and Nazi soldiers stormed into the sisters' home,

wrecked the furniture and took away their father. In the 1940s, the Nazis confiscated the family's property, put them on a train and sent them to Gurs Concentration Camp in Southern France. The sisters will recall the unbearable conditions they were forced to endure while being held in Gurs until the Children's Aid Society arranged for their escape. This is the third year Central has held a program recognizing the anniversary of Kristallnacht and the second visit by the sisters. This free event is sponsored by Phi Alpha Theta and is free and open to all students and faculty as well as the entire Edmond community. Plaks said he especially wants to bring awareness of the Holocaust to high school students through these visits.

Central Flashbacks with Rick Russick

In some countries, an olive branch bears a strong resemblence to a .45.

Past horrors teach lessons for future Civil rights activist and best-selling author, Maya Angelou once said, "History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again." Among the shining lights of invention and exploration, history is full of horrific crimes against humanity — religious wars, slavery, mass murder. Terrible as these events may be, it is important that we pass on the knowledge of the evil as well as the good so future generations know who we are and where we have been. The Holocaust is one such tragic event in our relatively recent history. Approximately six million Jews were murdered under the 12-year Nazi regime. During the era of the Holocaust, many groups were targeted because of their. perceived "racial inferiority" or political, social and religious beliefs. Jews, the disabled, Jehovah's Witnesses and people of Gypsy, Polish or Russian heritage were among those persecuted. The Nazis, who came to power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were a racially superior "master race" and that those deemed "inferior" were unworthy of life. Concentration camps had been established to imprison victims of ethnic and racial hatred and opponents of the Third Reich, even before World War II began. During the war years, millions were deported from the occupied territories to extermination camps, where they murdered in specially

developed killing facilities. This mass genocide continued into the final months of the war. Before the Nazis came to power, the Jewish population of Europe stood at over nine million. By 1945, close to two out of every three European Jews had been killed. The persecution and segregation of the Jews was implemented in stages. In began with anti-Jewish legislation and boycotts, but grew increasingly violent. One such infamous occurrence is "Kristalnacht" or "Night of Broken Glass." On Nov. 9 and 10, 1938, Nazi soldiers stormed the ghettos where Jewish families had been forced to relocate, pillaging homes and destroying property. Phi Alpha Theta is sponsoring an event to recognize the 65th anniversary of Kristalnacht. Jewish sisters, Ruth Steinfeld and Lea Weams will speak about their childhood during the Holocaust and their memories of Kristalnacht, deportation and life in a concentration camp. The free event begins at 7 p.m. tonight in the Constitution Hall of the University Center. It isn't often you have the opportunity to hear the events of history from someone who lived. Invite your friends, younger siblings and children to come listen to an eye-witness account of the Holocaust. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Shame on Times; Veterans' Day for soldiers Op-Ed by Rick Russick Veterans' Day has come but hopefully it is not gone. Every day, we are bombarded with story after story about the soldiers, our soldiers in Iraq. First of all, I don't want to argue the issue of whether we should go to war or not. I could go on forever about that subject. I do, however, think that our military needs to be recognized for their valiant efforts. The men and women who have served our country gave us the freedoms we enjoy. Veterans from the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World War I and II, Korea, Vietnam and the wars in the Middle East need to be recognized, remembered and appreciated. Now, I have one question for all you Old York Times fans out there. Why, did the Old York Times not put a picture of President Bush placing a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier? Instead,

they chose to show a picture of an Iraqi funeral hoping someone would blame our men and women in uniform for the loss of lives. Don't get me wrong, I am not devaluing the importance of the lives of the Iraqi people. They have been killing each other for years. But, to be called an American newspaper and put a slanted story like that on the front page, especially on the one day of the year we set aside to recognize our service men and women? That is a slap in the face to every soldier that ever served and ever will serve. As journalists, we have a professional obligation to cover both sides of the news, regardless of our personal opinions and beliefs. If the front page of the newspaper has been reduced to images of propaganda, then, Old York Times, you are nothing more than a tabloid. Meanwhile, Central's integrity has been lessened because we've been filling our newsstands with images that insult the incredible individuals who are also dying in Iraq—our American men and women in uniform.

Welcome, "Centralites", to another installment of Flashbacks, courtesy of Max Chambers Library and the Archives. I want to aciologize to my faithful readers for last week. Research papers sometimes must take the place of columns, so I had to take a few days off. Anyway, let's forget about that, and take another trip down memory lane. On Nov. 16, 1907, Oklahoma changed from a territory to statehood. Although considered a state school for five years, Central State Normal School could at last celebrate its name. Nov. 11, 1914 was "Dedication Day" for Wantland Field. Before that day, our football field had no official name. For those of you who don't know, the field is named after Coach Charles Wantland, one of Central's first coaches and athletic directors. Nov. 11, 1930, Central celebrated the 12th anniversary of the end of World War I, also known as Armistice Day. Today, Veterans Day is not only observed to remember those who served in World War I, but also to recognize all veterans in all wars foreign and domestic and those who are currently serve. The Vista's Nov. 12 Veteran's Day issue featured four small flags across the top of the front page. Hold on to your hats, Oklahoma! Did you know that Will Rogers once attended Central? He was managing editor for the Bronze Book in 1926 and was one of the main factors in getting a football stadium built. On Nov. 3, 1937, congressman and Central graduate Rogers spoke to the Kiwanis. On Nov. 12, 1942, with World War II in full swing, the Bronze Book went one whole year without being published because of decreased budgets. Extra money for such programs had to go toward the war effort. Luckily, students who paid their deposits got refunded in full. Nov. 13, 1949 was inauguration day for Central's 15th president, W. Max Chambers. Here is something for you music majors. The Nov. 15, 1956 Vista featured a story about the Music and Fine Arts Building located near Howell Hall. In 1955, the Oklahoma Chapter of the American Institute of Architects chose the building as one of Oklahoma's 11 outstanding buildings for its design and acoustics. On Nov. 18, 1958, the Baptist Student Union students moved into their new building. Nov. 8, 1960 was Election Day. The Vista asked students who they would choose, Kennedy or Nixon? "It is your responsibility as an American," read the Vista editorial. In a headline, "Freshman Air Election Views," some students felt Nixon would keep the country out of war. Many students thought World War III was at hand. "He [Nixon] knows when to call a bluff. He can keep the U.S. free and proud, not bowing down to anyone," one student said. However, many students thought JFK would make a good president because he had good looks and charm. One student boldly suggested that Elvis be nominated as president. Ladies and gentleman, Elvis has left the building. On Nov. 12, 1963, The Vista was awarded for the second time, "Best Newspaper" in four categories at the Collegiate Press Association Convention. On Nov. 12, 1964, The Vista announced that the new Broncho Field House would open Jan. 8, 1965. Later, the field house was renamed Hamilton Field House after another football coach, Dale Hamilton. On Nov. 10, 1966, Central hosted a famous general. In a ceremony honoring Vietnam veterans, Gen. W.C. Westmoreland was one of the main speakers.

Theater Review `She Loves Me' musical version of 'You've Got Mail' by Lauren Pulsinelli Staff Writer

Movie Review

and the opposite of his boss Mr. Maraczek, played by Matt Meyerdirk who has the worst luck with love. Maraczek found out his wife was cheating on him. It was a creative twist to think the wife was actually cheating on the husband. Then to add to the twist Maraczeck becomes so upset that he apparently tries to kill himself. He has bad aim, and shoots himself in•his arm - after all this musical is about love not suicide. Maraczeck is in the hospital at the opening of the second act and by his side is Arpad, played by Thomas Owens. Arpad is a delightful character and watching him reminded me of the character Screech from "Saved by the Bell." Arpad is a teenager with a crackingly voice. He is also the only character not consumed by love. Rather than being bothered with love, Arpad tries to push ahead in his career. He is tired of being just a delivery boy - he wants to be a salesclerk. Luckily, there is a job opening –

"She Loves Me" is a popular musical showing at Mitchell Hall at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 13 and15 and at 2 p.m. Nov. 16. The stage is outlined with a silver metal heart because "She Loves Me" is, ironically enough, about love. It has all the great characteristics of how people can find and lose love. The character's relationships in love are different but they all have one thing in common- perfume. They all work together in a perfumery shop. The main characters are Georg Nowack, played by Michael Dalke, and Amalia Balash, played by Lindsie van Winkle. These characters send anonymous letters to each other. They work together but can't stand each other, but each fall in love with the person writing the letters. This play takes place in the 1930's, but it is based on the same play that the 1998 movie "You've Got Mail," with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, is based on. There are many similarities CROSSWORD between the two despite the dif1 2 3 ferent eras. There is also a happily maro ried man named Ladislav Sipos. He is the ultimate family man

Holiday date? Try 'Love Actually'

Maraczeck has to fire the creepy Stephen Kodaly played by Jay Krottinger, for sleeping with his wife. So, to sum up - we have nervous new lovebirds, a perfectly content husband, Screech, and a creep. What's left? The ex slut that is ready to change her ways. Ilona Ritter, played by Stephanie Long, is fun because she sings, "I resolve come what may I will not be this girl one more day." Ritter said that she could do better with a library card, and she does. She meets a man and pretends to be smart. This musical has too many humorous aspects to it for this article, but anyone can attend the performances and see the whole thing. Overall, the cast keeps the audience entertained, and the musical is a classic. Some of the cast is split because according to Greg White the director, "This should be an educational experience for the students."

by Kim Roberts Staff Writer Love Actually gets my approval. Whether you're looking for a date movie or a different kind of Christmas movie, this is it. It tells several separate but intertwining stories of love set in contemporary London – some sad, some sweet. Five weeks before Christmas, love is in bloom everywhere you look. There's the newly elected (and single) Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) who on the first day of the job falls for the woman who brings him tea (Martine McCutcheon) and his sister (Emma Thompson) who finds her husband VOri kiCkaan)- is' in 'IcAre with Ws'Sec• • A young schoolboy and his stepfather (Liana Neeson) try to find new love after the death of his mother, from the stepfather's crush on Claudia

Fashion Finds with jiff The two main qualities girls notice when they first encounter a guy is the way he carries himself and the way he smells. If you catch a girl's attention at first sniff; she will more likely than not turn her head for a second whiff. And if the smell is a pleasant one, well let's just say she's not batting her eyes 'cause her contact suddenly tore. Fragrances mix with your natural chemistry. Every fragrance smells a little different on everyone. So keep that in mind when you ask for a certain bottle of cologne on your Christmas list. What smells good on your buddy won't necessarily smell good on you. If you plan to hit the stores soon for a new scent I have a few suggestions, just make sure you wear it for about 15 minutes before purchasing it. It usually takes about that long for a scent to mix with your pheromones. Mary Dunham, prestige manager of Ulta near Penn and Memorial, pointed out a few popular items for the winter months. Polo is one of the best sellers mentioned Dunham, as is Calvin Klein. "Armani Life is the newest one," said Dunham. It smells wonderful. It has a sophisticated, powder aroma about it. It's very rugged. Polo Blue is another good seller at Ulta.

Schiffer to the prettiest girl in school. After finding his girlfriend has been cheating, a writer (Colin Firth) flees to France, where he falls for his housekeeper, although there's the whole language-barrier thing. There's the unrequited office crush (Laura Linney) who finally gets somewhere with her `beau,' a new bride (Kiera Knightley) having trouble with her groom's best man, and the pathetic rock star (Bill Nighy) gaining 15 more minutes with a horrible new Christmas song. Like all movies, these love stories come together in the end—on Christmas Eve. However, it is rated `R' for nudity and language, so the modest should bewa,re.,,That being said, this is a great feel-good ifilpykeelebrates, without the 'corn-ball' effect, the ,

pitfalkarkijoys of love i4 Love Actually is in theaters now, so check your•. local theater listings for times. Black, by Kenneth Cole smell great too. "It goes on strong then fades real quick," added Dunham. A good quality may I add for those of you who have a lead finger. Hugo Boss and Lucky are still popular scents among guys. One of my personal favorites is Burberry Weekend. I've learned that one gets a girl's attention. Now guys, I know when you think of Victoria's Secret, cologne is not the first thing that comes to mind. I think girls, lingerie, girls in lingerie, Tyra Banks, then girls again come to mind first. But I'm sure after all that has gone through your thoughts cologne is the very next thing you think of Right? Of course! Victoria's Secret has two great scents for men, Very Sexy for Him and Very Sexy for Him 2. A Victoria's Secret employee, who requested to remain anonymous, said the men fragrances are quite popular. Every girl I've ever asked who has smelled the colognes has loved them. Very Sexy for Him is more "crisp" of the two fragrances. It is vibrant where Very Sexy for Him 2 is lighter and "more woodsy." According to a study broadcast on the Discovery Channel, candy is the most sexually arousing smell to women. Liquorish was rated the number one most arousing fragrance to women. So guys, if you're living on a minimal, college budget, but you still want to snatch that certain girl...go buy a bag of liquorish. Happy Sniffing!

Flu shots available for students at Health Center Central Station serves up opportunities by Sherri Christian Student Writer Influenza vaccinations are now available for faculty, staff and students from 8 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Central Student Health Center. The flu shots cost $10. Medical staff at the Health Center recommend receiving an influenza vaccination in October or November to be protected from infection. Flu season in the United States generally begins as early as November, peaks in December and continues through early March, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, Etc. reports. Who should get the flu vaccination? All students, anyone 65 years and older, individuals with chronic illnesses or impaired

immune systems and all caregivers, should be vaccinated said LaBetta Wallenmeyer, registered nurse and director of Central Student Health Center. The flu vaccination is not recommended for people who have egg allergies or have had allergic reactions to previous flu vaccinations. "Today's vaccines are highly purified and are very rarely associated with side effects. It is very important that we emphasize the fact that people do not get flu from the flu shot," said CDC director Dr. Julie Gerbding. Symptoms for influenza include high fever, chills, soar throat, muscle aches and fatigue. If you visit your doctor within the first 48 hours of developing these symptoms there is medication that can be provided that will lessen the severity of the virus, Wallenmeyer said. Influenza is a very significant

health threat. Influenza-related illnesses hospitalize more than 114,000 Americans each year and are responsible for an estimated 36,000 deaths yearly in the U.S., reports WebMD, an online medical information website. This year the influenza vaccination protects against the New Caledonia, Panama and Hong Kong flu. A least 85 million doses of the influenza vaccination are available this year, making a shortage as in previous years unlikely. The Student Health Center is open Monday through Friday. Students must sign in at the clinic between 11:30 a.m. and 12:10 p.m. Contact the Health Center at 974-2317 for details regarding prices and services provided.

Central's 28th annual International Festival to dish out culture, food and entertainment by Kacy Hensley Student Writer The 28th Annual UCO International Festival will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. November 13 in the University Center Ballroom.

by Sherri Christian Student Writer The Central Station coffee shop is celebrating its fourth year of serving cappuccinos, sandwiches, salads and more to provide students with hands-on experience of working in the food industry. Central Station gives students in the Nutrition, Dietetic and Food Management or Hotel and Restaurant Management programs the opportunity to practice for their future careers. The student-run coffee shop is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday in the Human Environmental Sciences building through Nov. 24. Four years ago, Dr. Marilyn Waters, human environmental sciences professor, and her students came up with the idea Central Station as a way to assist the students in obtaining needed training for their degrees. The

students researched the project and determined there was a need for a coffee shop. Waters applied for and received a grant to establish Central Station. Students from the Environmental Sciences building and the interior design program were responsible for designing and overseeing the construction of Central Station. "It is remarkable how the students take ownership of the facility and pride in their success," Waters said. The students learn what is involved in a running a food service business. They are responsible for arranging waste management, maintaining inventory and calculating the cost of production. Senior students participating in the program are focusing this semester on quality food production. There is a new production manager and new menu items every day. Each production man-

ager must design a unique menu that includes an entree of a sandwich or baked potato, a desert and a seasonal soup or salad. Central Station's signature items — turkey sandwiches, brownies, muffins and smoothies — are also available daily. By the end of the semester, each student will have, had the experience of working as manager, production manager, business manager and food production staff in Central Station. Central Station profits are used to support the program and improve the facilities. Each semester Waters purchases a new piece of needed equipment for the program. Central Station menus are available online through the UCOnnect website. Central Station will close Nov. 24 for the reminder of the fall semester and will reopen the third week of the spring semester.

ments on campus," said Jalal Daneshfar, the Central Immigration/Activities director. Sixteen countries will be represented through displays, arts and crafts, tourism information and food samples. Students from Nepal, Kenya, Pakistan, Taiwan, Iran, Japan and India will present live entertainment throughout the day, There are 1,631 international students from 100 countries attending Central. Daneshfar said that the festival is open to everyone.

Public relations professional speaks on majors and careers by Hilarie Fite Student Writer A former president of the Oklahoma City Public Relations Society of America educated Central students on future career opportunities at the Public Relations Student Society of America meeting Nov. 11. Andy Oden, director of Foundation Relations at the. Oklahoma United Methodist Foundation, Inc., counseled 20 students in the Communications Building. Students listened as Oden gave useful advice on job searching in the journalism field. "The ones [jobs] you really find a passion for are the ones that you will succeed at," he said. Sarah Shahan, senior public relations major and PRSSA secretary, said the meeting helped her become aware of how useful a good portfolio can be.

am ■ ■ ■

"The meeting made me realize I need to start focusing more on my portfolio," she said. Sarah Iovan, senior public relations major and senator of PRSSA, said Oden's professional guidance inspired her. "Now I know that there are people out there who will help me," Iovan said. "That encouraged me." Over the past 20 years, Oden has become locally and nationally recognized for his work. His resume includes press secretary for Oklahoma Lt. Gov. Jack Mildren and positions with Oklahoma Department of Transportation and Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Oden says he now considers himself a "generalist" who works with media relations and internal employee communication. Students said Oden's accomplishments gave them a glimpse into the world of media and pub-

lic relations. "When he started talking about his experiences, I got excited about what I'm getting into," Iovan said. "PRSSA offers opportunities for us to hear from professionals about our specific major." Professor Jill Kelsey, advisor of PRSSA, said she encourages students to become involved in oncampus organizations, especially those pertaining to their majors. The organization shows students how far their degrees can take them, said Rachael Tully, junior journalism major and vice president of PRSSA. "Tonight reflected the purpose of PRSSA," she said. "With development of personal excellence and education, organizations can help bring your future to you." Students interested in joining PRSSA can contact Kelsey at 974-4250.

Amy Sharp, Sigma Kappa member, said the ladies kicked off the week with a celebration on Monday evening for the founders of the sorority. They inviting the alumni over to their house for a ceremony and banquet honoring the ladies who started Sigma Kappa in 1874. On Tuesday, they went to the Carriage Inn Retirement Home to spend time with the residents. They also handed out hand made photo albums. Wednesday, they picked up trash on their adopted street, which included an area from Danforth and Broadway to Second. On Thursday they volunteered at the First Presbyterian Church on Rankin for their "Festi-fall." The girls served food, face painted and worked the moonwalk for the kids. They also helped clean up afterwards by putting games and tables away for the church. Thursday was a busy day for the women because they also made time to bake and bring cookies to their sorority house, other Greek houses and some UCO faculty. To end the week each member donated at least one personal care product to the Maine Sea Coast Mission which supports isolated mainlanders and fishermen who spend long periods of time out at sea away from their families. The Sigma Kappa girls collected more than 50 items to send to those men and women.

Students pause from day to feed hungry, homeless by Sarah Iovan Student Writer Nearly 200 Central students were challenged to think of the hungry before sitting down to their own buffet dinner in the cafeteria on Nov.2. Students entering the café were asked to make a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich that would be distributed to the homeless of downtown Oklahoma City by the Residence Life Leadership Council. "Over 200 sacks were put together," said RLLC's student leader Mark Simpson. "It was really awesome to see so many students helping," said junior Nick Sorensen. RLLC designed this relief effort, "Operation Feed the Homeless," as one of their many

programs aimed at serving the campus and getting students fired up about UCO, Simpson said. A sack lunch with a sandwich, fruit drink and a cookie, were given to people at bus stations, benches and parks in downtown Oklahoma City on the afternoon of Nov. 3. "Any person we saw in need received a sack," said Simpson. "RLLC students also ended up serving hot dinner at the Salvation Army with the sacks playing a lifesaver role when there wasn't enough dinner to go around," said RLLC's advisor Stephanie Bowman. After the experience the students agreed that they had never been so thankful for food before, Bowman said.

Bronchos lose final exhibition, open season at Incarnate Word by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor Despite 43 points from Deshone Henderson, the UCO men's basketball team lost their final exhibition game of the season to Northwestern Oklahoma 83-80 in overtime last weekend. "Deshone's performance was a pleasant surprise. We knew he could compete from his days at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M but he hit some big shots and also played a complete game with 11 rebounds," said Head Coach Terry Evans. The Bronchos got off to a slow start, shooting only 32 percent in the first half creating a 33-21

deficit as they headed to the locker room. Henderson sparked a UCO rally in the second half of play, helping the Bronchos outscore the Rangers 53-41 in the final 20 minutes to force overtime. But NWOSU outscored the Bronchos 9-6 in the overtime to take the three-point victory. UCO was hampered by ankle injuries to Jamaal Ramey and Reggie Paul during the contest, in addition to playing without starting point guard Nick Graham who injured his hand earlier in the week. Henderson did his best to lead the Bronchos to a comeback win as he shot 14-of-27 in the game while also contributing 11 rebounds and

three assists. Kentrell Gaddis was UCO's second leading scorer with nine points, while Ramey had 10 rebounds and six points before his injury. The Bronchos open their regular season Saturday as they travel to Incarnate Word. "We open the regular season at Incarnate Word, which is one of

the better teams in our district," said Evans. The injury bug has hit UCO hard in the preseason. "We might have five of our scholarship players out, including four of our five starters but we have good depth and I expect those guys to step up and take advantage of this opportunity to play," said Evans.

Bronchos showdown with Tarleton State will crown LSC North champ by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer

Deshone Henderson shoots the ball against University of Sciences and Arts in the Bronchos win on Nov. 4. CORRECTION: As of today, the UCO football team had not secured a postseason berth.

The final game of the regular season awaits the Bronchos of Central Oklahoma in Stephenville, Texas Saturday when they take • on mighty Tarlton State for the Lone Star Conference North Division title. The Bronchos and the Texans each currently own a 3-1 record in the LSC North and will continue to share the Division lead until Saturday's 2 p.m. game at Stephenville Memorial Stadium. And if that doesn't do it for you, try this, the winner will most likely receive a bid to the NCAA Division II nation playoffs while the loser is probably done, better luck next year. The Bronchos, 8-1 overall,

are coming off a 62-42 victory over long-time interstate rival Northeastern State in which they racked up 511 yards of total offense including 232 yards rushing by junior tailback Jarrod Manoy who now leads the league with 1,007 yards and 11 touchdowns. They have been pretty good on Chuck Langston's maiden voyage having suffered their only loss on the road to Southeastern Oklahoma on Nov. 1. The bad news is that TSU, 73 overall, defeated SOSU 42-28 also on the road on Oct. 18. The score being almost the reverse of the 43-26 whooping that the Savages handed the Bronchos. The good news is that there's a flipside to that coin. Last weekend TSU found themselves bn the lesser end of a 21-17 score at Southwestern Oklahoma, a team that UCO had beaten in early October by almost the opposite score of 20-17. The series record of 4-1 still plays in UCO's favor, but the one TSU victory came in Edmond last year when the Texans survived a hard-fought game 34-27. The Bronchos racked up 441

yards of offense in that contest against the Texans' top-rated defense in the league. LSC and UCO career receiving record holder Dee Dee Carter caught five passes for 134 yards in that game with quarterback Erick Johnson throwing for 236 on 15 completions. Enough about the offense, the defense will have their hands full this week taking on one of the most potent offenses in NCAA Division II. The Texans come in averaging a league-leading 490.0 yards a game. UCO ranks eighth in the LSC in total defense, giving up 355.3 yards a game. TSU is first in passing (353.4) and eighth in rushing (136.6). Senior signal-caller Cliff Watkins is TSU's headmaster, having hit 233 of 376 passes (62.0 percent) for 3,158 yards and 27 touchdowns. Watkins has plenty of good hands to throw with seven of his receivers owning 20-plus catches on the year led by flanker Will Moody (62 catches, 968 yards, eight touchdowns) and split end Jeremy Madkins (56-928, seven TDs).

Chattin' around the cooler

Soccer squad receives national tournament bid by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer No.25-ranked Central Oklahoma found out Monday they will be traveling to Denver, Colo. this weekend to take on unbeaten top ranked Metropolitan State in the NCAA Division II women's soccer national tournament. The Bronchos, 15-4-2, will be joining the four-team Midwest Regional after receiving a bid to the national playoffs for the second straight year and the third in four years. "We're excited about being in the national tournament again," said UCO coach Mike Cook. "It will be quite a challenge for us to go up against Metro State in the

first round but we're glad our season is still alive and that we have a chance to play again." First round pairings Friday have UCO taking on No.1 Metro State (19-0-1) at 11 a.m., and No.15 West Texas A&M (14-3-2) verses Lone Star Conference champion No.20 Texas A&M-Commerce (16-23) at 2 p.m. "We like the matchup with Metro State," Cook said. "It's nice to be the underdog for once." Friday's winners will meet in the regional finals at noon Sunday with the champions from each of the eight regionals set to advance to the quarterfinals scheduled for Nov. 22 or 23 at sites not yet determined. "We're tired of playing the

same old teams and we're gonna go give it our best shot," he said. Central lost twice to Metro State last year, the first time during the regular season in a tight 1-0 contest and 2-0 in the second round of the national playoffs. "I really thought we outplayed them in that first game last year," Cook said. The Bronchos finished second in the regular season Lone Star Conference standings this year behind Texas A&MCommerce and then was knocked out of the LSC Tournament semifinals by West Texas A&M 2-0, the same team who ended their school record winning streak during the regular season.

Oklahoma 77, Texas A&M 0. Yes, at a glance that score makes you think the Sooners wanted to blow the Aggies off the field. And Bob Stoops has defended himself and his team nationally, simply because it appears the Sooners got carried away. But anyone who WATCHED the game cannot possibly think the Sooners were trying to run up the score. The national "experts" simply looked at the score and started talking like they watched the game from the first snap to the final seconds. When Stoops brought in Paul Thompson to begin the second half, I thought: "It's a little early, isn't it?" The score was 49 to 0 but I didn't think it was time to call off the charges. If OU scores 49 in one half who's to say A&M might not do the same. It's not very likely, but you never know. So there is no way the Sooners were running up the score, that's not even the issue. The real question is this: If you are getting blown out, do you really want the other team to just quit??? I played sports growing up and when I got handled like that I NEVER wanted somebody to give up and just quit competing. Why would you want someone to basically say "We're just so much better than you that we aren't even going to try anymore." Don't you have any self-pride at all? Why do you want people to treat you like you're second-best? Why get mad if they don't?

That doesn't make sense. Sometimes it's good to be embarrassed, then in the hot summer workouts and two-adays when you want to quit, you can remember how much better you have to be to compete at that level. Embarrassment can be an outstanding motivator. Every member of the A&M team should be worried about making themselves better so they don't have to worry about anyone ever being the position to "run it up ' on them again. I'm not saying leave the starters in for the entire game, but once you put your second team in you should run your normal offense. Those players practice just as hard as the starters, they deserve to be able to compete like the starters. If the other team can't stop it that's their problem. That should just motivate them to get better. They should want to be at your level anyway, so why should they want you to let up and not compete? They shouldn't. They should remember it, remember how good you are and use that to make themselves better, PERIOD. Don't worry about what someone else it doing. If you can't do anything about it, that's on you. Don't get mad at them for competing. That's what they have trained all season to do, nobody practices letting up on other teams. Why should they? And the real question is: Why should anybody want them to?

"I am very pleased with the progress of the team at this time. Our season focus was on our conference play and we did a very good job of defending our championship," said Boyland. If the Bronchos win, they would likely face South Division winner and tournament host West Texas A&M in the championship match. If the Aggies are upset in the semifinals, the Bronchos would face either Eastern New Mexico or TWU in the championship round. UCO went 22 - 6 overall on their way to their third straight LSC North title.

The Bronchos face the winner of the Abiliene Christian/Cameron match on Friday. UCO heads into the tournament as the No.1 seed from the North Division which earns them a bye in the first round. "We had to beat both Cameron and TWU in less

than 5 games to even have a chance at the North Championship. Our team stepped up to the plate and are very focused on the conference tournament," said Head Coach Jeff Boyland. The Bronchos split to matches with Cameron as each squad won in the other's home gym. The two teams finished in a three-way tie along with Texas Women's in the North Division, with UCO winning the tiebreaker.
