Ethics committee decides; drops charges BY SARAH BLOUNT

Staff Writer

he UCOSA House of Representatives voted Monday, Oct. 29 to drop all formal charges of constitutional violations against President Brian Downs. Downs faced the possibility of three charges, stemming from funding he authorized over the summer. "There has been no moral breach of obligation or embezzlement of funds," said Todd Rivers, ethics committee chairman. The ethics committee met Thursday, Oct. 25 and Sunday. Oct. 28 to investigate subpoenaed evidence from the offices of Campus Life and Student Services. The committee presented their findings to the House, which voted to drop all charges. Although the resolution has

American customs borrow from other religions "Trick-or-treating."

—KATIE 4 years old

For those without children, Halloween parties can be just as scary. Being in costumes seem to give people carte blanche to behave as crazy as they possibly can. Nov. 1 is the first day of the Days of the Dead, which honors ancestral spirits by inviting them out of their graves, for a time of feasting and dancing. The spirits are then chased back to their graves by noon the following day. This relates to students who have too good a time the

night before and feel like dead the next morning. Many must return to the classroom crypt and hear the chilling voice of their professors. No matter what the occasion, Americans seem to find a way to incorporate many different traditions and culture into the American fabric. But what is noteworthy is these celebrations bring families together as one, even if it is just for a moment. •

"Getting candy."

ne of the greatest aspects of the United States is that we adopt traditions from around the world Halloween, observance of the dead, was first celebrated by the Celts. While we may not completely honor the original intent, we do manage to turn our children into sugar-high demons with chocolate covered teeth. The costumes may scare the spirits, but the scariest part is trying to live under the same roof with these candy-coated banshees.

"The changes we want to make are to fill in loopholes, and at the same time give room for discretion for the president to use funds with a price cap," Tully said. He and Vaughn plan to go over revisions with Downs and co-author joint bills. If the changes are approved by both branches, it will be signed by Downs and then by President Roger Webb. Tully said the bill should be introduced to Congress by the end of the semester. In addition to amendments, Tully said UCOSA plans to bring in four or five alumni who are former members of UCOSA, to help new elects. "We're excited about getting back to business and addressing the shortcomings," Tully said after Monday's meeting. "There are a lot of loopholes, and a lot of reform to be done. The silver lining on this cloud is that although we are young, we can make many changes." •

An attitude such as this will hurt our endeavors as well as all student organizations.

KCSU features new financial program BY LAURA BELLO

Staff Writer

ollege may be a learning center not just for the intellectual, but for the practical. Many students, on their own for the first time, learn about air conditioner bills, credit cards and cell phone contracts. That is one reason UCO's student-operated television station, KCSU, features a new program, "The Financial Forum," that identifies financial matters. KCSU airs on Cox Cable channel 22 "This is an area we hadn't covered yet in our programs," said Dr. Keith Swezey, associate professor of communications. The show, hosted by local financial expert Greg Womack, president of Womack Investment Advisors, will have guests that specialize in public accounting, debt management, credit counseling, mortgages and other financial issues. Most of the guests are from Edmond and are experts in financial matters. "I don't think we will have a shortage of guests. I have quite a few good contacts in this field."

The program is produced weekly by UCO broadcasting students and airs Monday through Friday in the afternoons and evenings. "The students produce everything from preparation, setup, graphics and they direct the show," Swezey said.

broadcasts. The show is limited to Edmond City limits. Swezey said their audience is primarily Edmond residents, but he would also like for students to benefit from the programming. This week's show is "Saving and Investing — Building a Solid Foundation," with guest George Ashford, local investment professional for 30 years. Some up-coming shows will feature Edmond CPAs with information about taxplanning strategies, new tax laws and tips, Womack said. He said since the PHOTO BY ELISE CARR Junior broadcasting majors Jared show first aired, he has Broyles and Jennifer Strahorn go live received phone calls Oct. 29 during KCSU Channel 22's with people asking weekday news program airing at 5 p.m. questions.

Student Writer

The Bronchos outshot the Lions 22-0 in the game, however 16 of those shots came in the first half. "We had so many chances to score and that's extremely frustrating," UCO head coach

Jessi Mathieu passed to a wideopen Courtney Lindsey for the fourth Broncho goal of the game. UCO outshot ASU 18-5 in the contest. Seniors Lindsey, Mathieu, and Lisa Hansen lead the Bronchos defensively. UCO is tied for second place,

Mike Cook -said. "We allowed them to control the entire second half and had to play their game." On Sunday, Oct. 28 the Bronchos finished up regular season play with a victorious 4-1 win over Angelo State at the extremely windy Tom Thompson Field. Denae Taylor led UCO scoring a pair of second half goals. At the 20:25 mark of the first half, sophomore Valerie Gutierrez scored on a long cross kick assist from the right side of the field by senior Jeorgia McGinty. That goal was unanswered until the 35th minute when Angelo State's Sheri Champlin broke away from midfielder and outraced UCO's defense to score and tie the game at 1-1. The game stayed at a standstill until Taylor took over 10 minutes into the second half. Gutierrez had a blocked shot from ASU's goalkeeper at the 54:22 mark, but Taylor was close by for the easy chip into the net. Just six minutes later, Taylor was in perfect scoring position again as the midfielder came out of a pile of players to knock the ball into the right side of the goal to make it 3-1. The Rambelles were unable to control UCO's strong defense, while the Bronchos continued their lead with six minutes left as

t was no trick Saturday, as the Broncho football team picked up their second win of the season, defeating the Bacone Warriors 45-7 in Muskogee. Greg Briley rushed for 105 yards and three touchdowns to add to his team leading totals. He now has 735 yards and 13 touchdowns on the season. Everything went the Broncho's way, starting on the opening

drive. The Bronchos were forced to punt, but the Warriors fumbled on the return and Broncho linebacker Raider McHugh was there to make the recovery at the Bacone 21-yard line. Two plays later the Bronchos were on the scoreboard, when Briley trotted in from the 12-yard line. A.J. Haglund added the extra point to put the Bronchi's up 7-0. After great play by the defense, the Broncho offense was back on the field. Just five plays later they

Once again the Broncho defense forced the Warriors to punt, and the Bronchos went 94 yards in 15 plays to go up 21-0. Quarterback Brett Manning hit Jace Sherrill for a 23-yard touchdown. It was Sherrills third touchdown of the season. The Warriors third possession of the game ended with a fumble forced by McHugh and recovered by Ryan Cooper at the Bacone 29-yard line. This time the Warrior defense held the Bronchos to just two yards forcing a 44-yard field goal attempt by Haglund. Haglund's kick was just short of the mark, but he would get another chance on the Bronchos next possession, This time he capitalized on a 27-yard attempt to give UCO a 24-0 lead late in the second

quarter. The Broncho defense made it possible for the offense to handle the ball one more time before the half, and once again the Bronchos scored. This time Manning found Andrew John for. a 5-yard touchdown pass to put the Bronchos up 31-0 with 21 seconds left in the half. It was John's first touchdown catch of the year. The second half started like the first with the Bronchos scoring on their first possession on a 10-yard Bailey touchdown and a Haglund extra point The score put the Bronchos in command, 38-0. Bacone wouldn't score until late in the fourth quarter to make the score 38-7.

Terrorist expert visits UCO; discusses Islamic extremism BY MICHAEL LARSON Staff Writer

he morning of Sept. 11, Sam Hammons was standing in the Pentagon with Oklahoma Sen. Don Nickles discussing news of the plane crashes•in New York when he saw a flash of light in the corner of his eye. Hammons, a terrorist expert, visited UCO Oct. 23 and gave a speech on Islamic extremism. He emphasized America's need to understand it in the ongoing war on terrorism. Hammons appeared as part of the Liberal Arts College's new Scholar in Residence program. "It was a poignant sight, this black smoke belching from the Pentagon," a sight he said symbolized the ambiguity of the forces America would be dealing with. Hammons was scheduled to take a guided tour of the capital dome that morning, and said he possibly owed his life to the people on board United Airlines Flight 93 who prevented terrorists from crashing a second plane in Washington D.C. "It's a sobering thought to think you yourself could have been a casualty." Hammons described Osama bin Laden's training camps where people are trained for terrorist actions. He talked about bin Laden's management of terrorist cells, which produce ideas for mass destruction then relay them back to bin Laden for funding. "There is no moral ambiguity there," Hammons said. "This is naked evil." "It's fanaticism against freedom." Hammons said Islamic extremism focuses on past grievances and glories, whereas most modern governments and cultures are forward looking. He said the Taliban is attempting to regain the glory Muslims had in the eleventh century, when the Islamic Empire spanned much of Europe. "Extremist groups are to Islam

what the Ku Klux Klan is to Christianity." "If you are going to do business with another country, you need to understand their culture. If you're going to go to war with another country, you need to understand their culture." Hammons said one of the greatest hurdles America will have to overcome is what he calls "mirror imaging," which he defines as "thinking people think like you do." "If we are going to be successful in this war, we have to eliminate mirror imaging."

He argued that Islamic extremists base their behavior on a different system of reason than most other people. He said in their quest for understanding of these actions, people will have to leave behind all their assumptions aboutright and wrong. "Throughout the history of Islam, there's been no separation of culture, religion and government, and extremists think separating the three is a bad idea." Hammons also said the extremist groups had connections to the international drug trade. "The drug trade finances events

Hammons earned a bachelor's degree in political science and history from Oklahoma Baptist University, and a law degree from University of Oklahoma (OU). He retired from his law practice when he was in his 40s, then got his master's degree in international relations from OU. He wrote a thesis on terrorism relating to the Soviet Union. •

Pagan family celebrates fall holidays Samhain and Day of the Dead

utumn always brings me me with their cinnamony smells peace. The vibrant leaves and whispers of nearby ancestors. Contributing Writer rustling in the wind excite For me, as for many people in many cultures, the earthy smells of fall are grounding and energizing at once. 3 Edmond Locations To the ancient Celts, the last 917 E. Danforth day of October was the official end 33rd & Boulevard MI of summer. To Americans, it means 2nd & Santa Fe Ave. Music & Movies much the same: Indian Summer, which has lingered from the Fall Equinox near the end of September, fades into early winter. There is no more fooling; the warm days are gone until they are reborn in the spring. Mythology from Celtic, Mexican, Teutonic, and so many other people say that the veil between the worlds of the dead and the living is at its thinnest at this time. Honoring and communicating with one's ancestors seems the natural thing to do, for several reasons. One is that, according to these beliefs, the ancestors help their living relatives and therefore the living take this time to thank them for their continued Linkin P Lenny Krciv attentions. Another is that spa; a forgotten ancestry is forgotten Ozzy Oshourtie - M i chael Jac identity of one's own self, a loss of sorts. MYERS MURPHY DIAZ LITHGOW Also at this time, say the legends, the keepers of the crossroads let the dead out for a breath of air. The dead like visiting people they know, and up from different cultures have sprung two kinds of traditions: one is the welcoming of the loved dead, and the other is the attempt to frighten Swordfish off unwelcome spirits.

Samhain ("sam-hayn", "sow-en", "sam-man", or "sav-een") is an observance that incorporates both of these traditions. In America, Halloween has evolved into the candy-corn trick-or-treating thing that has surface elements of Samhain, but that is not the celebration written about here. The custom of dressing in the spookiest thing you can find is an outgrowth of trying to look completely unappealing to the wandering spirits so they won't try to possess your body. The "treating" end of this comes from a Celtic hangove — offerings of food to the dead at their funerals and throughout the year, at this time in

particular. For modern pagans, Halloween, or Samhain, is also the turn of the year. Some pagan traditions hold that time stops between Samhain and Imbolc (Feb. 2), others that Samhain is a Witches' New Year. I'm a Unitarian Universalist (UU), and meet with a group in Norman called CUUPs. CUUPs stands for the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans, and this means that a person could be Wiccan, a Druid, a shamanist, into Voodoo, a run-of-the-mill pagan, or someone who's interested in learning more about various pagan religious practices. CUUPs is not a coven or a cult, just an open group anyone can attend. There is no priest or priestess; celebrants take turns volunteering to lead the observations. UUs tend to be a bit academic, and since this group is based in Norman, there is a high percentage of college-educated persons who attend. CUUPs is part of the Norman Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. This year's Samhain celebration was held last Saturday and the facilitators observed the Celtic New Year with a Voodoo-oriented circle. One of the CUUPs Council members had spent some time in Haiti studying the culture there, and brought back much information on the religious practices.

HOLIDAYS: How one pagan family celebrates

continued from page 10

My children, nearly 8-year-old Wednesday and 6-year-old Aspen, are quite sophisticated for their age. It does not escape them that we hold another observation on the days following Halloween; we have done it for years. This year the Days of the Dead will be more personalized for them, as they hope to have a visit from Grandpa Charles this year. The Days of the Dead are a Mexican tradition that we have adopted. Beside the fact that . on American Memorial Day, I really would prefer to be working in the yard or going to the lake. It just doesn't feel right to be at the graveyard. Bees buzzing around the flowers, birds chirping brightly in the trees shading the graves, these things echo the dead, saying "What? Are you crazy? Go enjoy the day!" I just can't get into being in a cemetery'when I suspect that the dead aren't wanting to be there, either, but have to put in an appearance for the living. There are two Dias del Muerto, Nov. 1 — 2. The first is for children and pets (angelitos), and the second is a general day of observance. People all over Mexico observe this holiday. Closer to the big cities, the celebrations are more mundane; in the smaller villages they are more sacred. Preparations are made weeks in advance, for parades and skeleton figurines play

The Days of the Dead are a joyful reminder of life and heritage and identity. Samhain is a yearly celebration that reminds us of renewal, of our blessings, and of protection. In this age, where sacred holidays are carried out in shopping malls and self-imposed isolation from our neighbors

continues to grow, family ties become increasingly more important. Reinforcing them can bring a deep sense of self, and this, in turn, brings the inner warmth and peace of autumn. • The Vista thanks Dr. Theresa Vaughan of the Humanities department for fact-checking assistance.

naturalistic studies are drawn from living specimens.

"This combination offers multiple insights into an avian world that has inspired both the arts and sciences," Wallo said. Sutton has written 13 books, more than 200 journal articles and numerous illustrations. He painted the majority of the watercolors to be featured in the UCO exhibit between 1938 and 1973 during seven trips he made to Mexico. From the time Sutton was 10 years old until he entered college, he corresponded extensively with established bird artist Louis Agassiz Fuertes. Sutton's career included teaching at the University of Oklahoma and the University of Michigan. "Anyone is welcome to attend this exhibit. There are millions of people out there that are bird watchers that would enjoy this," Wallow said.

he Said: So you have an "equally awesome serious girlfriend" and

you have doubts about who to date? If you're really serious about her, why in the world are you even considering another relationship? Your wandering eye needs to be restrained if you are going to devote any more of your time or energy to ANY relationships. Before you do anything, you need to reevaluate your relationship with your girlfriend here. If you find that the commitment you made to her (yes, you made one if you call her your serious girlfriend) is not what you want, you should talk it over with her. If you know for sure you don't want to be with her, dump her now before it's too late to save face. If you think the relationship's worth saving, tell that coastal chick to hit the road. People don't deserve to be lied to by someone they're involved with, and that's what you're doing.

ear He Said She Said: Is Halloween un-christian? — Uncertain of my beliefs

e Said: No. Grow up. I strongly encourage you to have a

conversation with a fully trained member of the clergy for your religious questions; but if some wacky advice columnist is really where you want to get your religious information, I will give it a shot. I have received hundreds of questions like this since I moved to Oklahoma — partly because I am Pagan, and partly because I am the type of guy who will answer pretty much any question. Halloween derived from the Pagan holiday Samhain (pronounced "Sow-wan"), a day for honoring the dead. It should also be noted that we do not believe in Satan, which makes it hard to have satanic holidays. America's version, the "Trick or Treat," started in Puritan New England. It evolved basically as a way for the local kids to scam candy. Puritans picked Halloween because it was celebrated by Christians as "All Hallows Eve." Oklahoma is really the only place on the planet where you will find many people, even educated people (including some Edmond public school teachers) who believe Halloween is Satanic. Although, since I am forced to either buy flowers or sleep on the couch every February 14th, I am almost convinced Satan does exist, and his holiday is actually marked by hordes of guys fighting over boxes of chocolate while their girlfriends plot ways to kill them.

he Said: Since Dave took up so much room babbling (not that

this is an unusual thing for him, but...) I will have to keep this short. Halloween is not evil, but some things people do on Halloween are (such as animal mutilation and destroying some poor kid's jack-olantern). Different christian denominations believe different things regarding Halloween. Like Dave said, talk with a minister about it. Most of all, don't judge others and be nice. •
