Bronchos selected for Division II Playoffs

By Justin Villines Sports Writer r the second straight year Central Oklahoma is in the NCAA Division II playoffs.

UCO, 8-2 and tri-champions of the Lone Star Conference, will travel to No. 5 California-Davis on Saturday.

"We are happy to be in, we want to represent the conference," said UCO Head coach Gary Howard.

The Aggies, 9-1 on the year, are the. No. 1 seed in the West Region, while UCO is the fourth seed.

In the other West Region game, No. 2 Northeastern State will host No. 3 Western Washington.

UC-Davis won their seventh straight game with a 55-24 route over Western Washington Saturday.

"There's a lot of strong teams in the region," Howard said.

F

Despite dropping their final two games to Southeastern and Northeastern State, the Bronchos earned a spot in the 16-team playoff.

UCO was eliminated in the quarterfinals in 1996 by UC Davis and last year by Texas A&MKingsville.

This will be the Bronchos ninth playoff appearance. UCO went to the NAIA playoffs six times, winning national titles in 1962 and '82.

Eight first-round games will be played on the campus of the higher seed, and the winners will meet in the quarterfinals.

Quarterfinal winners advance to play in the semifmals.

Northwest Missouri State defeated Carson-Newman in the 1998 national championship game to win its first ever NCAA title.

This year's championship game will be played on December 11 at Braly Municipal Stadium in Florence, Alabama.

Free scholarship guide offered to UCO students

S

pring enrollment began last week, presenting students with hefty bills for tuition.

Federal financial aid and the Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant (OTAG) help many students pay for school expenses.

Sometimes these are not enough.

That is where the office of Prospective Students and Scholarships comes in.

The office publishes a 48page guide of all scholarships

offered to UCO students. The guide tells how many of each scholarship are offered and what the award amounts are.

Applications for most scholarships are in the guide.

"Financial aid is based on need," said Ronnie Hopkins, scholarship coordinator.

"Scholarships are usually based on academic achievement."

Hopkins offered simple advice to applicants — fill out the entire application.

Despite late season losses to Southeastern Oklahoma State University and Northeastern, the Bronchos earned a surprise spot in the NCAA Division ll Playoffs.

The Bronchos, 8-2 in conference play , will leave Friday to take on the University of California Davis, 9-1 in conference action.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Continued from front page

"A lot of times they'll turn in an application with the entire back page blank," Hopkins said.

"Or only a few lines will be filled out."

Applicants will also need copies of their transcript and some scholarships require letters of recommendation, Hopkins said.

Scholarships fall under three categories: departmental (including athletic), general and Foundation.

The UCO Foundation exists to provide assistance to students, said Dr. Nancy Hughes, executive director of the UCO Foundation.

"We raise private funds to support UCO students. In 1999 we gave $245,000 in awards."

Hughes said the Foundation is always adding scholarships.

"It's our main mission," Hughes

said.

The deadline to apply for Foundation scholarships for fall 2000 is March 1, 2000.

The next deadline for a scholarship is Nov. 20 for the Intertribal Indian Club of Tulsa.

This $500 scholarship requires that applicants be members of a federally recognized tribe with onequarter quantum degree of American Indian blood.

They must also be enrolled at an accredited college, university, graduate or professional school with a GPA of 2.5.

Applicants must also be actively involved in traditional American Indian activities such as singing, dancing or education.

January brings the deadline for the Oklahoma chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) scholarships.

"We're stubborn. We won't give up," said senior journalism major Marsha MacEachern.

"This is definitely something we want to do. We are very excited about it."

Getting the rest of the campus as fired up is another matter entirely, many students said.

"It's a joke," sophomore Nick Majocha said of a potential squad.

"How can you have cheerleaders when you don't have real sports?"

Besides, cheerleaders —those happy, perky types — are "against everything Emerson is," said sophomore Megan Bradner.

"We're a surly, cynical bunch."

None of the criticism really matters, MacEachern said. After all, the college's athletics department is pleased with the idea.

"I am supportive of other oncampus groups, so why shouldn't they be supportive of us?"

MacEachern said.

wanting to serve in the military.

"The generation to come hasn't had a parent that has served in the war," Watson said.

Years ago, many believed that if you didn't go to college and couldn't do anything else, you joined the army.

Is that myth still true today?

"Actually it's the total reverse," Watson said.

"The business recruiters are looking for juniors and seniors with leadership skills."

Watson said that joining the military is a career choice.

Watson, originally from San Angelo, Texas, said that he misses his family.

"I have two sisters and a twin brother," Watson said.

He attended Angelo State University double majoring in history and biology.

"I wanted to be either a lawyer or brain surgeon," Watson said.

After his assignment at UCO is completed, Watson would like to move to Washington state and reside.

Major Eric Bernstein, assistant military executive officer, describes Watson as dedicated, absolutely professional, disciplined, and someone who always puts his cadets first.

"He looks at the strengths and weaknesses, looks at all the advantages, and does what's right for the cadet," Berstein said.

As a leader, Watson describes himself as honest, candid, and caring.

"I have the 'I can accomplish' attitude," Watson said.

Joining him in Oklahoma are his wife and children.

Watson said his children, Sean, 8, Michael, 5, and Anna,3, are his biggest accomplishment.

"This is a unique skill (perhaps even a gift) which we, as professors, might all wish to emulate," Sloan said.

Watson's mentoring has also been recognized.

He received the Outstanding Mentor award earlier this year.

Dr. Kathryn Gage, vicepresident for Student Services, said the entire campus was Watson's classroom.

"Dr. Watson has stepped forward to offer his time and counsel to our Greek community as an adviser for the Intrafraternity Council (IFC) at UCO. At a time when the Greek community was at a crossroads — searching for identity and direction — Dr. Watson approached me about becoming an IFC sponsor."

Gage credits Watson with the turnaround of the IFC.

"IFC now emphasizes leadership, scholarship and community service," Gage said.

Watson began and runs ClockTower Studio, a graphic design studio staffed by students.

"It satisfies my itch to design," Watson said.

ClockTower has several clients in central Oklahoma.

His students are as complementary as the faculty.

"Dr. Watson is an incredible teacher...I appreciate his attitude, open-mind and especially his criticism," wrote one student on an instructor evaluation form.

Another student noted the fact that Watson lets students think for themselves.

Watson appears almost shy about the award.

Jones, UCO sociology professor, is the 1999 counselor of the year.

Jones received the Jack Way Oklahoma Alcohol and Drug Counselor of the Year Award.

He was awarded for his long term support and commitment to the alcohol and drug counselor profession, his plaque reads.

The Oklahoma Drug and Alcohol Professional Counselor Association (ODAPCA) issued the honor.

UCO is the only university in the state of Oklahoma, Jones said,

to have a bachelor's degree program in sociology and chemical dependence.

The UCO program trains students to become chemical abuse counselors with substances like drugs and alcohol.

Counselors help people who have an addictive personality who abuse drugs and alcohol.

"Many people are attracted to working in this professional field because of their own personal experiences with alcohol and other drug addiction."

Jones is no stranger to being on the other side of the counseling and abuser table.

He said his former chemical dependency problems help him when teaching students to become

counselors.

But he fights the "dry-drunk" syndrome every day.

The "dry-drunk" syndrome, Jones said, is when a person does not abuse chemicals, but through genetics from a chemical dependent mother or father they have the addictive symptoms.

"A lot of times people coming from alcoholic families just swearto-be-darn they will never touch the stuff and it's really an obsession not to drink," Jones said.

Whether actually abusing a substance or experiencing "drydrunk," he said, it destroys a person's life and their families and friends.

here's lots of common wisdom in the music business, and one of the commandments is that world music belongs on public and college radio, not commercial radio. However, that may be beginning to change.

Putumayo World Music, the Bay area-based label known for its global rhythms and colorful packaging, is marketing "The Putumayo World Music Hour," a syndicated program that may upend expectations about where world music can find an audience.

The program evolved out of a conversation label founder Dan Storper had 18 months ago with programmers at the San Francisco triple-A (adult album alternative) station KFOG-FM. "We found that Putumayo's selection of accessible music dovetailed well with the adultrock and triple-A market.

The challenge was to find a way to integrate it into regular rotation."

"We got more stations than we expected, including 25 or 30 commercial stations," Storper said.

"The successes seem to come fast and furious; in places like Portland, it had great ratings after a month or so. Gradually, more stations came on board."

"Despite the lack of radio airplay, there's been a whole world of music that people are hearing in films and TV commercials, which are integrating tons of world music," Storper explained.

So, listeners can hear music from the likes of Bob Marley and Johnny Clegg and interviews with Paul Simon and Carlos Santana as well as hear music from up-and-coming acts. "All these radio stations are tight for space and time," he explained.

"What we've done is encourage stations to put our show next to other roots-oriented shows like "Beale Street Caravan' or "Afro-Pop Worldwide,' shows that share a similar outlook." <

"I was 40 years old before I realized that it was not normal to always be scared of everything and everybody.

"I thought I had to get everybody to like me and if I didn't then that just proves I was as defective down deep as I knew I was."

Jones said he is a strong believer in the link between genetics and an addictive personality. He said the scientific evidence points in the direction of genetically predisposition generations.

"My dad was focused on his drinking and his preaching and my mom was focused on taking care of him trying to keep him out of trouble," Jones said.

"I had to sober up myself like so many of us do. Adult children of alcoholics are four times more likely to become alcoholics than adult children from nonalcoholics."

He said some people have a hard time, from the brain chemistry standpoint, tolerating and moving through stress. Other people, he said have a greater ability to be comfortable with change and uncertainty.

"As we find out that a couple of drinks is the only way we can relax," Jones said. 'We incorporate a couple of drinks as a regular part

UCO's International Students Director 'humbled' by presentation of award

By Allison Franklin

T

he Asia Society of Oklahoma recently presented Dr. Ron Paddack, director of international student services at UCO, with the 1999 Outstanding Civic Leadership Award.

Paddack said winning the award is a humbling and surprising experience, considering the prestige of past winners.

George Nigh, former Oklahoma governor and UCO president; and Sandy Garrett, state superintendent, are past winners, he said.

According to Robb Hibbard,

publications editor for university relations, Paddack's extensive accomplishments during his 23 year career at UCO qualified him to receive the award.

Hibbard said Paddack has established alumni chapters in Singapore; Taipei, Taiwan; Bangkok, Thailand; and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

UCO graduates comprise these chapters and meet on a regular basis. Some have over 100 members, Paddack said.

Hibbard said Paddack also conducted the Oklahoma Experience Program for 13 years.

In this program, 40 Koreans were brought to Oklahoma each summer and were introduced to university life at UCO, Paddack

According to Paddack, more than 8,000 people attended this year.

The Asia Society was formed in 1985 to promote better understanding of Asian heritage and interchange of information among organization members.

Paddack calls the society an "umbrella organization" because it brings together Asian groups in Oklahoma, including the Korean Society, the Taiwanese Association, and the Iran American Cultural Society.

"I have a very high regard for the Asia Society of Oklahoma and their emphasis on education," Paddack said.

"I never would have dreamed that I'd be selected for this wonderful award."

Not a total loss...

UCO Bronchos fall to Northeastern Redmen

By Justin Villines

SportsWriter

N

ortheastern State dimmed Central Oklahoma's hopes of making the playoffs with a 12-7 win over the Bronchos Saturday at Wantland Stadium.

"We had our chances, but we just couldn't execute against a good football team, particularly their defensive team," said UCO Head coach Gary Howard.

NSU's tailback Lamont Turner had a 1-yard touchdown run to give the Redmen a 10-7 lead with 9:03 left in the fourth quarter.

The Bronchos got the ball five

more times, but came up empty on all possessions.

The Redmen defense, ranked No. 1 in the NCAA Division II, managed a safety when UCO quarterback Brett Manning was called for intentional grounding in the endzone with only 35 seconds left in the game to secure the NSU win.

On the following kick senior Johnnie Jones recovered the onside kick and set the Bronchos up on their own 33 with 30 seconds left in the game.

But on the next play, Manning was intercepted by NSU's Prentis Jenkins to seal the 12-7 win for the Redmen.

"On one drive we made

mistakes, but besides that we played well. The first half we played really well," said defensive coordinator Duane Dirk On NSU's first play of the game, Turner fumbled and Jess Loepp recovered the ball for UCO.

The Bronchos took a quick 70 lead, after Manning dove in for a 1-yard touchdown with 11:43 left in the first quarter.

The loss ruined UCO's chances at its second straight LSC title outright and may have prevented the Bronchos from a second straight trip to NCAA Division II playoffs.

Central Oklahoma lost consecutive games for the first time since losing to Texas A&MKingsville and Angelo State in 1996.

Sophomore Greg Briley finished the game with 99 yards on 23 carries.

Sophomore Claude Davis led the Bronchos defense with 11

tackles and one sack. Junior Jon Brazeal added 10 tackles for UCO. Sophomore Lucas Kerr, who played the second half with a separated shoulder, had nine tackles.

"We had a good effort today," Howard said.

The Bronchos entered the game ranked No. 4 in the West region. Southeastern, the region's No. 3 ranked team, was defeated by East Central 14-13.

The top four teams in the region advance to the NCAA Division II playoffs.

UCO, Northeastern and Southeastern are tri-champions in the LSC.

Close quarters to blame...

Freshmen face risk for meningitis, study says

By Linda Etherton

StudentiVriter

c

ollege freshmen who live in dorms face an increased risk of meningococcal disease relative to other persons their age, according to information released by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the U.S. Center for Disease Control Prevention (CDC) on Oct. 21.

Freshmen living in a dorm have a 6.33 times higher risk of meningococcal disease than do college students overall, the CDC states.

Living conditions of college students are conducive to the spread of contagious disease due to close proximity of living areas.

Freshmen have a higher risk than other students in dorms because of a change in their living arrangements.

There is more access to alcohol and tobacco which can suppress the immune system.

They also may have more exposure to the bacteria because of the close living quarters, sharing of glasses, utensils, etc.

The ACIP recommends that undergraduate college students, particularly freshmen, be made aware of the risks and the availability of vaccinations.

"We do recommend it (the vaccine) even though our budget does not allow us to give it to our students," said LaBetta Wallenmeyer, director of UCO's Student Health Center said.

"It (the disease) is very dangerous and there have been fatalities, although none that I know of in Oklahoma colleges this year," she said.

"It's rare, but devastating," she said.

Meningococcal disease is a rare but potentially fatal bacterial infection. It is usually called meningococcal meningitis, inflammation of the membranes around the brain and spinal cord, or meningococcemia, the presence of bacteria in the blood. It is also commonly called spinal meningitis.

Meningitis can be either viral or bacterial. It is extremely important to determine which because the severity and treatment are quite different.

Viral meningitis is generally less severe and recovery is assured with time.

Bacterial can be quite severe, potentially resulting in brain damage, hearing loss, loss of limbs or death.

Approximately 3,000 cases of meningococcal disease occur in the U.S. each year and about 10 percent are fatal.

Early symptoms include fever, severe headache, stiff neck, rash, nausea, vomiting, lethargy and flu-like symptoms.

The disease progresses rapidly and medical care must be sought immediately.

Outbreaks usually occur in late winter and early spring. It is transmitted by air through respiratory secretions and direct contact with an infected person.

The diagnosis usually requires a spinal tap and bacterial culture to identify the bacteria and type of antibiotics needed.

The vaccine currently available is highly effective in protecting against most types of the bacteria but will not totally eliminate risk due to decreased effectiveness against a certain type of the bacteria.

UCO is a member of the American College Health Association (ACHA) which "recommends that college health care providers take a proactive role in providing information to parents and students about meningococcal disease and access to the vaccine.

"ACHA also recommends that college students consider vaccination to reduce the risk for meningococcal disease."

"This is a rapidly progressive disease: one day a student will be healthy and full of promise; the next day he can be dead," said MarJeanne Collins, MD, cochair of the ACHA's vaccinepreventable disease task force and director of student health at the University of Pennsylvania.

"Although meningococcal disease is rare, it is a high-risk event," Collins said.

Wallenmeyer said the vaccine is available in the UCO area at the City/County Health Department for $40 and at some area pharmacies in Edmond, specifically Hospital Discount Pharmacy for $80.

New computer makes easy assignment far from simple

By Celle Rabalais

Editorintaiet

T

,at was supposed to be

basically an easy

a ssignment. All I had to do

was redesign a newsletter.

Since I had already taken Newsletter Design and passed with flying colors, I figured this would be a piece of cake.

It should have been, could have been...if my old computer hadn't recently been fried in an electrical storm.

But, instead, it turned out to be the assignment from...well, you know where.

My husband replaced the burned-out computer a couple of weeks ago and I've had little time to experiment with the new one.

Since it was about noon, I made a sandwich, popped open a cold cola, and grabbed a bag of chips. Now, I was ready to begin this simple assignment.

I sat down, turned on the PC, brought up the menu and selected Microsoft Word.

"Where the heck are the different templates?" I asked no one in particular.

There weren't any.

So I tried to create one. After

eating the sandwich, chips and finishing off the soda I still wasn't successful.

"I hate this new program. I want the old program back."

I know I sounded childish, but it was better than picking up the computer and tossing it through the kitchen window. My husband walked in just about that time. I have to admit, his timing was bad, but not as bad as his statement.

"Quit your whining, it can't be that hard," he said.

Slowly I turned to face him. I could feel my temperature rising and could hear steam sizzling in my ear canals, trying to escape.

"Don't you dare come in here and tell me what is and what isn't hard," I hissed through my teeth.

"You have never, ever tried to do this before, so you have no idea of what you are talking about."

"Don't bite my head off," my husband said, trying not to laugh at my childish behavior.

"Sorry, it's just that I'm so aggravated with this stupid computer," I apologized.

"Gee, are you really?" he asked pretending surprise. "I couldn't tell."

"There is no reason to get

sarcastic," I told him taking a deep breath and trying hard to keep my temper from flaring up again.

"What are you having problems with?" he asked.

"I hate this new PC," I stated simply.

"That doesn't answer my question," my husband told me rolling his eyes.

"I know that. I just wanted to make sure you understood that fact before going any further," I told him.

"Okay, already, I get the idea," he said. "Now, what's the problem."

"This computer you bought,

the latest technological marvel, doesn't have the simple templates I need for this assignment and it won't let me design one," I said glaring at the PC. "Yes, it does," my husband tried to assure me. "You must be looking under the wrong menu."

"I am not looking under the wrong thing," I answered him. "I am looking under Microsoft Word."

"Well, you must be overlooking it then. Move over and let me try," he offered.

He sat down and pulled up the menu.

"You have to start a new document to get the templates," he explained.

He opened a new document and looked at the options.

"You're right, dear, there aren't any of the templates that you need," he said, turning to look at me.

"I told you so," I said as he got up.

I sat down and closed down Microsoft Word.

Pulling up the menu, I noticed this new system had a separate Microsoft Works file.

Bingo!

I finally found the templates I

needed.

"Is everything okay now?" my husband asked, relieved that I found what I was searching for.

"I think so," I replied.He walked out of the room, glad to escape.

I opened the newsletter template.

"Oh crud!" I cried.

The name plate on the template ran from top to bottom instead of side to side.

I can do this, I thought to myself. All I have to do is move the name plate to the top.

That proved to be easier said than done..

After about a hour of furiously trying to figure out what I was doing, again, I pushed my chair away from the PC. My younger daughter walked in just as a stream of profanity left my mouth.

"Gosh, Mom, what's wrong?" she asked, stunned.

"This piece of doggie-do your father bought isn't worth a piece of toilet paper," I screamed.

"Calm down, Mom. Let me take a look. What are you trying do?"

"I'm trying to make the name plate go across the page instead of up and down," I told her.

She took my chair and looked at the screen for a few seconds and started punching some keys.

"There you go. Anything else you need help with?" she asked, getting out of the chair.

I looked at the screen amazed.

She accomplished in a matter of a few minutes what I had been trying to accomplish over the past three hours.

"How did you do that?" I asked, sighing.

"Like this..." she said and brought me step-by-step through the procedure.

"Anything else you need help with?" she asked.

"No, sweetie," I said giving her a kiss on the top of her head.

"Thanks for your help."

"No problem, Mom," she replied leaving the room.

I sat down and finished the assignment in about 20 minutes.

Isn't technology great... if you have a 12 year-old in the house. -4(

he student desks in many classrooms might as well be the very desks we sat in throughout junior high and high school. To add insult to injury, so many desks are crammed into the classrooms that the phrase "classroom" is an oxymoron. There is little room for the class.

No doubt, some classrooms are spacious, and it is wonderful to be able to use computer labs for class meetings, but the everyday class room need not be an uncomfortable, loud experience.

The scraping of the ancient desks upon our 1960s vintage floors is irritating to the students in the room as well as the next two rooms over.

As many students learn during enrollment, there is a limit, or cap, on how many bodies can sign up for a class.

Should the caps not reflect the size of the room?

It is silly and inequitable to assign a class of 35 to a small room and have a class of 12 in a larger room in a different section of the same building.

A little forethought in room assignments could go a long way.

Students don't think, writer says

By Donald White

CollegePressWriker really don't mean to sound like an intellectual snob, but lately I've noticed that a lot of my fellow students seem either dumb or lazy, or both.

I've been going to class pretty faithfully so far this semester with hopes of graduating in December.

And the conversations I've overheard from my classmates make me wonder what a lot of them are doing.in college in the first place.

The most frequentlyoverheard complaint (at least by my observation) is that a particular class or professor is "boring." In some cases, that's undoubtedly true. There is no way to make quadratic equations or cellular respiration interesting. It's not humanly possible. So I can understand that complaint in certain cases.

The problem seems is that students simply don't want to be challenged to think anymore.

Imagine that: students actually discussing ideas!

Do today's college students hang around dorms discussing lofty issues? Some do, I suppose.

But most of the conversations I've overheard sound more like high

school gossip: who's going out with whom, what Suzie Sorority is wearing, which body part Freddy Fratboy just got pierced, and so on.

Can 95 percent of the students on campus really be as shallow and vapid as these conversations suggest? I'd like to think not. But all the complaints I've heard about students being "bored" make me think this might indeed be the case.

"Boring" is a word that elementary school children use to describe material that is too difficult for them to understand, or a class in which the teacher is covering the material too fast.

If they're taught the right way, classes in history, psychology, sociology and political science are among the most interesting students can take.

But as we've already established, most students apparently don't want to think.

They're almost proud of it. They wear the fact that they don't even crack their textbooks all semester as a badge of honor!

They really couldn't care less what's being discussed in class because they only plan to retain it long enough to take the exam anyway.

And how boring is that? <

INLETIE

Librarian 'checks out' The Vista's grammar It seems ironic to me that The Vista would publish an editorial calling for a change in the spelling of the UCO mascot name (11-4-99).

I almost have to admire the unmitigated gall it took for your paper to criticize anyone else's

spelling.

I am constantly amazed at the number of misspellings, typos and grammatical errors that occur in each issue of The Vista.

Have you no shame? No pride? No proofreaders?

Enclosed is one small example in which "their" is used instead of

"they're." Most of us learned the difference in elementary school.

With that level of education exhibited weekly in our school newspaper, is it any wonder that another name for UCO is Broncho High?
