UCO tailback put off NFL for 'unfinished business'

By Trent Dugas

StaffWriter

he main thing that is going through my head is that fumble in ¢98's playoff game," said UCO Broncho tailback, Reggie Donner.

Donner, 26, never imagined he would fumble the ball against the school he played for in 1992 and 1993. The fumble gave Texas A&M-Kingsville an easy score and they went on to beat UCO in the 1998 playoffs.

Coming into the 1999 season, Donner had a chance to become a free agent in the National Football League (NFL) and move his game from a junior player to the

professional level.

"I had a choice to go and more than likely I would have been a free agent but what weighed heavily on me is coming back to school, graduating and playing that senior role that I wanted to play," Donner said.

Donner chose to stay at UCO and finish his senior year as a Broncho.

"I came back to accomplish some goals as a senior," Donner said.

"I wanted to be a senior leader, wanted to be a captain and go out on the field before the game starts to take the coin toss and all that."

Donner said "unfinished business" is another reason why he decided to return to UCO.

He said the decision was difficult and the significance of his decision would influence his life forever.

"It took a lot of pondering and I just followed my heart," Donner said.

"I love this football team, I love these guys and I just feel like we had some unfinished business to settle. I feel we got robbed and I just didn't feel good about that last game we lost against Kingsville last year and I just wanted to come back and do whatever I could to get this team to where we all wanted to be."

During the first game against Emporia State in the Broncho's 1999 season, Donner attained the second unthinkable and fumbled the ball again, bringing back visions of the 1998 fumble.

"My main goal was to run very hard, keep my shoulders down low and not have any fumbles and here I come in the first game almost in the first series and I come up with a fumble some kind of way," Donner said.

"I went to run over the guy, I hit him hard and some how the ball squirted out on me and I even covered it up with two hands."

Donner quickly shrugged off the fumble and continued his normal game by rushing for 208 yards in 32 carries and three touchdowns up to the third quarter.

Then he pulled his hamstring. The minor injury forced him to leave the game.

Donner said he skipped the second and third football games of the 1999 season, had two carries in the fourth game

against Langston and 10 carries in the fifth game against East Central.

By the time of the homecoming game against Harding, Donner said he was ready to play again. He said his legs were strong and he felt good about his play.

That is when Donner's third unthinkable happened.

At the end of a 36-yard run, Donner was hit by an opposing player.

In what Donner calls a "freak accident," the other player hit his knee, twisting it and causing a season ending

injury. He suffered both ligament and cartilage damage in the left knee.

Doctors quickly operated on his knee, put it in a brace and told him his season was over.

Donner would not be back to normal until early or mid-2000.

Donner's NFL prospects were getting dimmer.

"It's going to hinder me," Donner said.

"But it all depends on what the Lord has in store for me.

It's really out of my control. I V

Higher education faces economic development issues

By Ercilia Zolkiewicz Staff

klahoma Higher Education hosted its first-ever statewide Economic Development Day Nov. 12.

UCO leaders, faculty and students met with area business leaders to discuss topics related to the meeting's theme, "Building Oklahoma Through Intellectual Power."

The purpose of the event is to stimulate dialogue between business and industry and Oklahoma university representatives about the benefits of partnerships today and in the future.

The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education adopted an aggressive initiative to move Oklahoma from the bottom to the top one-third of all states for its educational and economic performance.

Called Brain Gain 2010, the initiative addresses an issue which State Regents Chancellor Hans Brisch calls Oklahoma's "most compelling public policy issue."

The link to increasing the proportion of college graduates in the state's population is interaction between higher education and business.

However, this is a new concept for UCO. "UCO and most of the regional universities are new at this game," said Dr. Doug Fox, UCO executive-in-residence.

Through the year 2006, occupations requiring bachelor's degrees are projected to grow the fastest and offer higher than average earnings.

Jobs requiring bachelor's degrees are expected to grow at a rate of 25.4 percent, according to Trends in the Oklahoma Job Market 1996-2006 Projections, Oklahoma Employment Security Commission.

Higher education must work harder to achieve these new goals, Fox said.

Oklahoma leaders must not ignore this problem, he said.

"Economic Development will be the 'flavor-of-the-month' twenty five years from now and

even more so than today," he said.

"Companies crave communities that have an educated population," Webb said in the broadcasted video forum.

"Yes, educate students. But if it's going to be 'development,' it means more students learning more," Fox said.

Although the goal is a partnership between higher education and business, one panelist shared a reminder.

"Business' operate from motivated self-interest," said Oklahoma State Senator Glen Coffee.

"Economic development does not connote the status quo," Fox said.

Fox emphasized the need for change.

"We've got a reality The Oklahoma State Board of Regents for Higher Education and UCO's College of Business problem," Fox said.

Administration presented Economic Development Day, Friday afternoon at the Troy Smith "It's not about what higher Lecture Hall in the Business building. education has done in the past," "fAr*:.' * Fox said.

UCO-SIFE students help professors 'click' with it

By Trent Dugas

stairwriter ome dedicated UCO students are trying to make the university a more professional atmosphere.

Eight members of Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) are volunteering their help to UCO professors in making web-pages.

SIFE provides college students the opportunity to become involved in projects to teach free enterprise in the metropolitan area and around the world.

The volunteers are helping professors build web-pages so that the site can be accessed through UCO's web-site.

"I add that little caveat 'if they choose to' because some faculty may choose not to do their own (web-page)," Rolfe said.

She said there is no way to determine how many faculty members have web-pages available on UCO's site but she said the number continues to grow.

A survey was conducted about a year ago, Rolfe said, and it determined that less than 2 percent of the professors had web-pages on the site.

"Because we made the training available and other factors, a lot of faculty now are taking advantage of this new medium," Rolfe said.

She said within the 18 months, UCO will purchase a new computer server to accommodate the growing needs of the web-site.

Moilanen said he tries to help them recapture that joy.

"They appreciate someone entering their space, there is more trust," Moilanen said.

Moilanen is leaving UCO to become the head of the art education department at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.

"It's the chance of a lifetime," Moilanen said.

This is nothing against UCO,

Moilanen stressed.

Dr. Karen Barnes, assistant professor of occupational and technology education, said his move would be a "real loss" for UCO. "He is phenomenal at what he does," Barnes said.

UCO to light up' with Cancer Society challenge bowl

middle school students will discover how much they know about tobacco in Constitution Hall Nov. 18.

UCO will host the Heartland Division of the American Cancer Society's Challenge Bowl during the 23rd Great American Smokeout.

The four students have participated in several preliminary matches at Metro Tech.

"The Challenge Bowl is a middle school version of `Jeopardy,'" said Dustin Yowell, spokesman for the Heartland Division of the American Cancer

Society.

Other competitions will be for rap songs, cheerleading, banners essays and posters about not smoking.

Former National Football League player Paul Blair will speak to the kids. His topic is "You're Too Bright, Don't Ignite."

Events will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

"The events are definitely geared toward middle school students," Yowell said.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) promotes one day in November to be a day for all smokers to go one day without lighting up.

University Students (BACCUS) is co-sponsoring the event, said Kelly D'Arcy, coordinator of residence life.

The organization will be handing out packets with smoking

cessation information on the day of the Smokeout.

Last year, 8,930,000 people participated in the Smokeout, the ACS reported.

Ten percent of the participants reported they were smoking less or not at all one week later.

The Smokeout is about more than helping adult smokers quit, the day emphasizes keeping children from starting the habit, Yowell said.

Cigarettes are the number one killer of Americans, the ACS reported.

The Centers for Disease Control estimates that 462,938 Americans died from tobacco use, compared to: • 43,589 deaths by alcohol,

• 42,420 deaths by car accidents, • 30,862 deaths by suicide, • 16,685 deaths by AIDS, • 20,971 deaths by homicide • 14,843 deaths by illegal drug use.

Other tidbits offered by the ACS are: 81 percent of smokers would not start if they could do it over, nearly four million American adolescents currently smoke cigarettes and about one in five male students in ninth through twelfth grade uses smokeless tobacco.

New program helps international students make friends

By Connie Mathews

StudentWriter he University of Central Oklahoma Broncho Cousins program that began this fall matches American students with international students in an effort to bring different cultures together.

The program is a joint project between the International Student Office and Multicultural Student Services. The goal is to match students from the Edmond area with Exchange and International students from around the world, in an effort to build friendships and

understanding between cultures.

Participating students are matched according to age, sex and interests. The participants attend approximately three preschedules activities each semester.

The project offers American and international students the opportunity to bond and participate in activities on and off campus.

The activities this year have included Cousins Kick-Off, Tailgate party and Broncho footballs game and "Grandma Silvia's Wedding."

The students also make occasional phone calls to each other, meet for meals, and L

Harris started an International Buddies program in the spring of 1999. His program was designed to help international students learn about on campus activities and organizations so they would have the opportunity to participate.

Eckstein said they have similar programs at the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University.

More than 100 students have Harris said he and Eckstein decided to combine the two signed up for the program.

Jason Harris, President of programs into one, instead of the International student having two different council co-developed the organizations, creating the

Broncho Cousins program.

By matching students with different cultural backgrounds, Eckstein said she hopes students will foster friendships beyond their normal circle of friends.

"The university desires to create a community, we have to encourage relationships between students who might never meet," said Eckstein.

Harris said next semester the program plans to conduct more off campus outings, exposing the international students to more community related activities.

DONNER

Continued from page 2 am healing pretty quick and it is getting better and better everyday."

Donner does not allow negative feelings to obstruct his drive to play football but he realizes what position his injury has put him in.

"They say my knee will be stronger than it was before once it heals but it's all a time factor now," Donner said.

"It's all on a big time table but as the time table goes on I am losing the race. The (NFL) drafts are in April and they say I won't be but half way to my regular self by that time.

"So late February and all of March are the times I need to be running, jumping and catching for the NFL scouts so they can get information about whether they want to draft me or not."

Donner said his chances of becoming a NFL player may be slipping but he is not going to give up without resistance.

His -dedication and willingness to play football starts in the heart, Donner said.

If you have a big heart and you want to be the best of the best

then you will step up to the occasion and try to put forth everything you can.

"It looks like I might not be able to do too much (during NFL scouting) but you ,never know what the Lord has in store for you. I might have a speedy recovery and be able to do some things," he said.

"Somebody might see me as a project. All I am asking is just don't shut me out, I am going to come back. The Lord has not brought me this far to leave me now."

Donner said he has not worked in the weight room since before the knee injury but said his strength is in peak performance.

He said one factor that makes him a NFL prospect is his strength.

He bench presses 500 pounds and squats 600 pounds and with his 215 pound body, Donner said not too many players can match him.

"I don't think I am gonna find many people, especially running backs, that are as strong as I am," Donner said.

"There are some big boys

out there but it's all about the heart and how big your heart is.

"You've got to be real patient and have real good instincts for the game and be a quick learner and be able to adjust. Those are the things, that some people pick up on,

which helps them become a better ballplayer. It's just a God-given talent."

Donner said he is not picky about which NFL team he goes to if a team decides to take him.

He only wants the opportunity to play.

"The Lord will not let this keep me from achieving my goals and getting to the next level and playing football again. I will play," Donner said.

"Just give me a chance to play."

UCO holds Shadow Weekend

By Allison Franklin

StUd0/10Witat

U

CO students who stay on campus Friday, Nov. 19 and Saturday, Nov. 20 may notice 30 or more high school seniors doing the same.

Members of UCO's Student Ambassadors recently sent letters to over 90 prospective students in the OKC metro area, inviting them to spend the weekend at UCO, said Adam Martin, student ambassadors president.

"The goal of 'Shadow Weekend' is to recruit incoming freshmen and give them a feel for the campus," Martin said.

"We want to show them what UCO's like through the eyes of students, not recruiters."

This is UCO's first Shadow Weekend, but similar

recruitment programs have been successful at other state universities, Martin said.

Prospective students are scheduled to arrive at 3 p.m.

Saturday in the Commons Clubhouse.

Upon arrival, each student will be pared with a friend and introduced to a student ambassador who will host them for the weekend.

Representatives from residence life and each of UCO's four colleges will make presentations to the prospective students in the afternoon.

Campus tours are also scheduled for the students, said Martin.

At 6:30 p.m., the students will eat pizza in the clubhouse and will paly games organized by student ambassasors. At 8 p.m., they will attend the musical comedy "Nunsense" in

UCO's Mitchell Hall Theatre.

Afterwards, the prospective students will go to a dance in the West Hall lobby, which all UCO students are invited to attend.

The prospective students will spend the night in their host's dorm room or Commons apartment.

Sunday morning, ambassadors will sserve the students donuts and bagels for brunch. The prospective students will leave campus at 12:30 p.m.

Martin expects Shadow weekend, which is free for prospective students, to be a success.

"If we have even 12 people show up that were planning to go to OU or OSU and they decide to come here, it will be a success," he said.

First Miss Hispanic UCO realizes her royal' position

By Fachaitte Kinslow StaffWriter ove over kings and queens, UCO has just crowned it's first Miss Hispanic UCO. Abby Balderas, a sophomore majoring in elementary education and public relations, decided to enter the pageant for scholarships and experience.

"I hated pageants," Balderas said.

"I thought it was about being pretty and fake, but it's fun, and I get to speak to students."

Balderas said that she did not realize the opportunities of being Miss Hispanic UCO. "Different organizations have asked me to come and speak," Balderas said.

For talent, Balderas sang "Si una yes" by Selena.

"Right before the pageant, I lost my voice, so I was doped up on medicine," Balderas said.

REVIEW

Continued from page 9 saying. "Each girl has something to celebrate."

Then, with vivid pictures and descriptiojns, it depicts girls from around the world playing sports, organizing projects, creating art, making friends and celebrating religion. The book is more of a feel-good read than a learning experience (though it includes a handy reference guide of books, Web sites and girls groups). But some days, feeling good about being a girl is what it's all about. *** Like to make silly faces -- on paper?

Then get your hands on "The Fun Book of Cartoon Faces" or "The Fun Book of Cartoon People" by Bruce Blitz (both $13, Running Press).

Cartoonist Blitz will walk you through cinchy ways to make tons of goofy-lookin' characters. Plus, he throws in a bunch of drawing games and doodle tricks. Great for a rainy day or a boring class (kidding besides, the books might make you giggle so much you'd get caught). *** RATINGS: 4 stars: No exaggeration: We were sorry this story ever ended.

3 stars: Hell000? Thinking of passing this book up? Think again.

2 stars: If this book were a movie, we'd wait for the video.

1 star: Check your pulse!

This read put us into a coma.

UCO Bronchos travel to UC Davis

By Justin Villines

SportsiNtiter

B

attered and bruised, Central Oklahoma (8-2) will travel to Davis, Calif., to take on UC Davis (9-1) and begin its NCAA Division II playoff run.

UCO comes into the contest off a 12-7 loss to Northeastern State Nov. 15. The Bronchos had a season-low 153 yards of total offense;while the defense had their best game of the year, holding NSU to 205 total yards.

The Bronchos and the Aggies met three years ago in the quarterfinals of the playoffs. The Aggies ended UCO's season with a 26-7 loss.

UC Davis is coming off a 55-24 thumping over Western Washington. The Aggies have won seven games in a row.

UC Davis has a balanced offensive attack, averaging 409.4 yards a game.

Quarterback J.T. Sullivan pilots the Aggies air attack, completing 176-of-280 passes for 2,618 yards and 21 touchdowns.

Wide receiver Joe Shoemaker is

Sullivan's favorite target catching 52 passes for 947 yards and 11 touchdowns.

The Bronchos injury list had a couple additions after the NSU game. Sophomores Greg Briley (hand) and Lucas Kerr (shoulder,knee) are questionable for this weeks game.

UCO Head coach Gary Howard realizes his team has suffered some injuries, but he expects others to step up.

"We have had a lot of injuries, but we have to forget about the injuries and play," Howard said.

Senior linebacker Brian Morton will see some limited playing time after sitting out the last two weeks with an injured knee.

"Morton will definitely add some inspiration, a lot of players look up to him," said senior tailback Barry Antwine.

This will be the Bronchos third time out of four years to make the playoffs, and the seniors are thrilled with the chance to continue playing.

"It's our last year to play, to get another shot at the playoffs is great, we're all excited," Antwine

said.

Briley continued to play well for the Bronchos. Briley finished the NSU game with 99 yards on 23 carries. Briley has 1,242 yards on 208 carries and 15 touchdowns this season.

UCO's defense is led by free safety Kelly Heathington with 87 tackles, while Kerr has 81 tackles.

Sophomore Claude Davis has 79 tackles and nine sacks for the UCO defense.

Seniors Johnnie Jones and Alton Lusk are both having special seasons for the Bronchos.

Jones, a Harlon Hill Trophy Candidate, has set the singleseason punt return record with 501 yards and is among the Division II leaders, averaging 15.2 yards a return.

Lusk has 505 kickoff return yards on the season and ranks among the national leaders with a 29.7 average.

Kickoff for the first-round matchup is set for 3 p.m., Saturday (Oklahoma time) at Toomey Field.

The game can be heard on KOKC-AM 1490 (Guthrie) and KNOR-AM 1400 (Edmond). -4

Volleyball players receive honors UCO

Sportsinformation entral Oklahoma volleyball sensation Alma Brahimaj has been named Lone Star Conference North Division Player of the Year for 1999, while Adriana Crovador was a first team pick for the third straight season.

Brahimaj, a freshman outside hitter from Elbasan, Albania led the Bronchos and ranked among the league leaders in kills per game (4.84), attack percentage

(.281), Service Aces (63) and digs (429). She finished second on UCO's single-season list for kills (528) and fifth for aces.

Crovador, a senior outside hitter from Jenks, earned FirstTeam All-LSC North Division honors.

She had 388 kills, 367 digs, and 33 aces on the season and finished her stellar four-year career as the school's all time leader in digs.

She also ranks in the top five in kills, attacks and aces.

"Alma and Adriana both had

terrific years for us this season and they deserve to be honored for their efforts," UCO head volleyball coach Mark Herrin said.

"Alma was virtually unstoppable and I don't think there's any question that she's one of the best players in Division II." "Adriana had another great year and there's not many players who are first team allconference picks three straight years; so that's quite an accomplishment," he said. <

OSU controlled the game with a 1-0 lead until the final moments of the last half.

Sophomore Luke Slattery tied the score with less than ten minutes remaining in the contest.

With less than two minutes left to go in the game, senior Sho

Moriyana secured victory for the Broncho soccer club.

The club is undefeated against other collegiate clubs around the state.

Jalal Daneshfar, head coach of the soccer club has been with the UCO students for over ten years.

Sports writers travel with Bronchos to California was plagued with nightmares Monday night about firebreathing department heads and empty wallets.

Sunday I shouted as I threw notebooks and pencils. I was overcome by the fact that The Bronchos would make their ninth appearance in the playoffs.

Thank you East Central for taking up the slack in the final quarter. Southeastern deserved it, no hard feelings.

All of this excitement rings lightly compared to the rampage that The Vista sports writers endured to get permission to go to the U.C. Davis game on Saturday.

I am not complaining, most of the trip is paid for. That is a good thing because on a sports

/

writer's budget Justin and. I would be hitchhiking.

After the sports staff realized that there was a game in California a panic struck the news room.

How are we going to cover this game? Will the Athletic department allow us to go with them? Would the University reimburse us for any of the expenses?

All of the questions loomed over like a thunderhead raining nothing but doubts and uncertainty.

I am usually a calm person but I wore a path in the carpet as I paced in and out of the door attempting to gain some answers.

I arrived at the office at 8 a.m. Monday ready to talk to the head of the journalism

By J.W. Reagor

Sports

vistasports@journalist.com department There was one holdup. He was absent.

The rest of the staff and I searched the Internet, attempted to buy airline tickets from colleagues, and figured

CORRECTION

how many hours the drive would take.

Not one airline ticket cost less than $1000. I knew there was no way that any member of the department would okay that amount of money.

As I stressed things took care of themselves, amazing how that works.

This is the chance of a lifetime. I have the opportunity to travel with my team, photograph the first round of the playoffs, and spend a night in California.

Nothing could stop me.

As much fun as I have I realize day after day that what I do is serious business. This is the first time that the reality of being a journalist, and more specifically a sports editor penetrated my brain.

HIDEAWAY PIZZA,

The brutal reality plays time and again. The job of the journalist is to deliver the story. If you have to spend your last dime and sleep outside in the coldest of nights waiting for the precise moment that the news breaks, you do it with a smile on your face.

Well, Friday morning I will be on a plane headed for Sunny California. There is no word that describes how ecstatic I am.

I employ a passion that stretches far beyond the average fan. The Vista sports staff shares in that conviction.

Online movie reviews offered for the `fruifgal spender

By Trent Dugas

a worthless movie, in front of a person who talks too much and StaIfWriter behind someone who smells of ' top squandering away three-day-old sweat. your money and time The time has finally arrived in the theater with when you can actually save the appalling movies that bore you movie-ticket stub and place it into the seat like syrup. in a cheap, empty apple juice No more waiting in line, for

jar and collect it for years to come.

Never go to a theater and see a bad movie again.

Next time you decide to experience the big-screen and all the wonders it beholds, either eat a rotten tomato or a

2 'finest ciassi^o . rns.

1 ;‘:

ripe tomato before you go.

All the information you need to make the correct decisions about a movie is a keyboard away. Just hop on the Internet and surf your movie-watching self to www.rottentomatoes.com .

This web-site has movie reviews on all movies: future, current and recent. The site also includes movie news and weekly box-office earnings.

The front page to rottentomatoes.com is linked to separate movie pages which include all the reviews.

The site claims the reviews come from the nation's top critics.

On each of rottentomatoes.com's movie pages there are small quotes about the movie from different critics.

You can then click on the link and it takes you to the critic's full movie review so you can read the whole article.

A good movie receives a nice, juicy, bright red tomato and a bad movie receives a green, rotten, smudged tomato.

Rotten-tomatoes.com also has available: movie trailers to download, links to official

movie web-pages, links to background information about the movie's stars and links to star interviews.

My favoritism for the site skyrocketed after their "tomatometer" rated "Eyes Wide Shut" as an honorable movie. All the nice, juicy bright red tomatoes reflected great ratings about the thriller.

Next time, before you go to the movie theater, visit rottentomatoes.corn.

This will save you from embarrassment. Nobody likes to fall asleep 30 minutes into the movie. But what else can you do when Susan Sarandon is exchanging dialog with the repulsive taste of boredom?

And it will keep you out of the lobby, fighting the ugly, psychedelic trance from the carpet while playing cheap, noisy video games.

Rotten-tomatoes.com will also keep the two young employees standing behind the refreshments counter whispering about you during your encounter with a "tilt" in the pinball machine.

Rotten-tomatoes.com weeds out the rotten movies.

It must be an ultimate high to walk across the stage and finally hold your bacholor's degree in your hand.

All the late nights studying, the grueling exams and the lengthy papers will finally pay off as you grasp the diploma for the first time.

But remember that having a bachelor's degree represents so much more than passing exams and writing reports.

Reflect on the wisdom you have gained, the opportunities you've been given, and the friendships you've developed during your acamedic years.

Reflect on the value that these things hold for your future, as anyone can get a bachelor's degree, but it takes special people to achieve the "education" of a bachelor's degree.

Graduation is a stepping stone to the rest of your life.

When you hold that piece of paper, you are holding bronze memories and the true blue future.
