athways to peace are tough," says Dr. Don Betz, UCO's vice president of Academic Affairs. He's speaking of his experience working for and with the United Nations, as part of the College of Liberal Arts lecture series that focuses on global affairs this fall. The smiling, tan, and bearded man with a metal American flag pinned over a golden circle on the lapel of his bluish-gray suit stood at the podium in Pegasus Theatre Thursday evening, Nov. 15. He shares his stories at an excited, rapid pace like a Midwestern child who just saw the ocean for the first time and has returned to report to the neighboring children. After years of studying the Middle East, he explains that his first visit revealed how little he really knew. . It all started with an interest in political science and a reliable pitching arm.

After striking out 20 batters to win a pitching contest as a child, Betz told newspapers that he wanted to do something with the U.N. when he grew up. The next day, there was a catchy prophecy in the headlines announcing that a future United Nations diplomat threw 20 strikes. During his sophomore year in college, Betz studied abroad and was able to spend a few weeks in Jerusalem, Turkey, and Greece. That's when something clicked. "That part of the world just made sense to me." Betz jokes that he is half German, half Italian and Catholic with no reason to return the way he did — absolutely devoted to the Middle East where he sensed that something significant was happening. In the Middle East, Betz says,"you realize you don't know a whole lot about the world like you think you do." Graduate school took him overseas again, this time to Beirut, Lebanon. With hand over heart, Betz remembers Beirut at this time as the absolutely

Palestine. This opportunity began his work with the organization called"hard on your luggage, liver, and loved ones." Betz left Tahlequah, Okla., and arrived in New York barely long enough to find his office and hop on a plane to self-sophisticated, laid back Geneva where the conference to discuss terrorism would eventually be held in 1982. The conference had drastic effects on the city. Guards began to actually guard. Twelve miles of barbed wire surrounded the city and signs every 100 feet were translated into four different languages. "If you do not stop when asked, you will be shot," Betz said. A new attitude overwhelmed the city. People were afraid of terrorism. Countries poured their representatives into the conference where 134 governments showed up as well as a large number of nongovernmental organizations (NGO).
glorious "Paris of the Middle East." Working as a journalist in Lebanon, he would go to the Italian press to read the news and began realizing that there are several dimensions to the Middle East. Upon returning from Beirut after his doctorate, Betz received a phone call from United Nations. He was hired as a consultant to forge an international conference on See BETZ, Page 5

This is well above the national average of 74 percent for similar programs in other universities, according to numbers released by the Education Testing Service.

ome students may not be aware of what Thanksgiving means to American students, who may have fond memories (or nightmares) of homecooked traditional turkey dinners. The first Thanksgiving should have set a good example for us to follow in 2001. The first feast featured strangers breaking bread together and getting to know one another, while respecting each other's differences. While many students will be heading home for the holiday, would it be

If sweets don't tickle your taste buds, try mashed potatoes and gravy, cornbread stuffing, green bean casserole and corn on the cob. Once again, menu options are endless. After dinner, watch (or play) football, invade a movie theater with children in tow, go shopping, or fall asleep in an easy chair in front of the television. However we choose to celebrate this Thanksgiving break, remember the golden rule. It's really very simple — drive safely, play nice, and stuff yourself silly. •

possible for those staying at school to share their feast with UCO's international students? What about American students who can't get home for the holiday, and may be too polite to invite themselves? We should take a cue from Thanksgiving's first celebrants, put aside any differences of opinion, and just eat until we pass out. Not just turkey — damn the diet and indulge on pumpkin pie with whipped cream, sticky candied yams, fluffy cake, and crispy cookies. The list is endless.

THEVISTA
n response to the Nov. 15, 2001 editorial, "Apathetic Attitude," I have seen more patriotism in the last two months than 1 have in the last 10 years from both this student body and the American people. I was taught that the duties of a university or college were to provide knowledge, enlightenment, and a better understanding of the world; the time for self-discovery and defining one's self comes with the challenges of life. We are at war because of a terrorist act on Sept. 11, 2001, and I can see no loss of any personal freedoms of American citizens. I will admit that the United States has become more securityconscious because the enemy has found a new way of attacking. This country has not had an armed conflict on American soil since the Civil War. The last attack on America itself was in 1941 with the attack on Pearl Harbor. Today's society has no real concept of battle and the horrors that are part of armed conflict such as wounded civilian population (women and children)
and mass destruction of cities and communities. Sept. 11 was one day, but imagine that terror and destruction continues on the 12th, 13th and so on. That is war. Would you prefer it to be here in the United States or let us take the battle to them? The First Amendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Nowhere in this amendment can I find that civil disobedience is an American right. During these times, I believe we need to remember the words of President John F. Kennedy,"Ask not what your country can do for you, but rather what you can do for your country." Sgt. 1st Class Robert L. Williams Senior instructor, military science

BETZ: 'Watching grace under pressure' continued from page 1 "The NGO's stole the show," Betz said. Betz remembers government officials slowly tip-toeing downstairs from their meetings to listen to the dialogue of the NGO representatives. Groups gathered with names like the International Jewish Peace Union, World Council of Churches, and the International Movement of Women's Issues. Betz says he felt like the proud godfather of the conference. The United Nations changed as it began to include NGO's. This led to the conclusion of the conference — the U.N. would begin taking a public diplomatic initiative. Betz stayed with the United Nations. "The United Nations is people." Betz says, almost laughing to himself, as he explains that the United Nations is very reflective of the international system and as diverse as the planet. He reminds the crowd that the United Nations' only qualities come from the people within. From the beginning, he was warned that he had taken a job with more employers to satisfy than humanly possible. Betz answered to every participating international flag and all were sensitive to his shiftings. "The trick," a colleague advised him, "is to pull this piece together
knowing people will be unhappy." Betz soon made the acquaintance of quality colleagues carrying personalities with surprising contrasts such as a mathematical mind combined with a heart of passion. He met people like Lucille, the Jamaican undersecretary, who often began conversations with Betz by the words, "lend me your fertile mind for a few moments." Then there were those Russian characters, all connected to an intelligence agency, who were convinced that Betz was sent by the CIA. A friend, Delia, was sent to build a government in a city that had faced such great destruction that not one house was left standing. She lived in a ship offshore until homes were created again. From watching these people, Betz says, "I learned how to handle people — watching grace under pressure." Betz experienced standing as a human barrier between Israeli and Palestinian communications when the groups were not speaking to each other. They literally passed notes back and forth, right over his lap. Betz says he could never read the notes, but he never threw away those pants from this memorable event. He must know what he is talking about when he says there is no substitute for a just and lasting peace.
"A displaced people" is how Betz names the conflict between Israel and Palestine. "Israel wants security. The Palestinians want a state." He has witnessed the fundamental level of conflict and describes it as terribly simple. Betz explains that both are connected to the same land and over the years have experienced a severe ripple of effects. "Long before CNN, there were issues burning in this region." Betz pauses to commend UCO for its variety in culture, which he points out, is the key to peace — understanding and accepting differences. Another key to peace is being active in groups like the ones who showed up at the 1982 conference. For example, Doctors Without Borders is an organization not concerned with political issues, race or religion but focused on the relief of human suffering. These groups are a prominent voice. Betz expresses his gratitude for their passions. After a hour long speech loaded with shared memories, Betz slows down his rapid pace of verbal communication to make sure everyone understands the main message of his experiences. He pauses, stands in silence and comments, "Everybody I've met wants one thing...a normal life." •

uess what? No, really, guess what? UCO has a yearbook. Know what else? It's going to be really exceptional this year. Know what else? YOU NEED ONE! Do I sound a little desperate? Well, I'm not, really. At least not yet. Just a little frustrated. No one told me of the challenges that I would face. "The Bronze Book, what is that?" That question comes up all the time. The Bronze Book is your yearbook. UCO is fortunate to still have a yearbook; it is comprised of all the activities for 2001-2002. This year's theme is "Our Wild Style" – imagine what that can include. The yearbook is a collection of memories, of students, of events; a timeline, if you will of what students share here at UCO. Every year a new staff is put together to bring the student body a yearbook. For the past three months my staff of "fearless femmes" and I have been writing, shooting pictures, planning layouts, interviewing celebrities and administrators, and marketing, marketing, marketing—basically doing everything and anything we could to make sure YOU have a fantastic yearbook this year. As cliché as it might sound, I feel like we are re-inventing the wheel. It's amazing the transformation that is being done right here in our small office, little more than a storage closet. Since 1997, the yearbook has been a magazine-style softcover book, had few color pages and little student involvement. That is all about to change. The yearbook is getting a makeover. This year we are going back to a traditional style hardcover book,
color pages throughout, and getting as many students involved as we can. My staff and I are still working, but it's difficult when you throw a party and no one comes. Seriously folks, there will be lots of great stuff in this book, tons of pictures of students on campus, parties, events, even just everyday stuff. But all reflections of what things were like here at UCO in 2001-2002. I was once told that college would be the best years of my life. True, college has been one experience after another. The yearbook is one of the best ways to combine all of those experiences and compile them into one place. This yearbook is your yearbook. These are your memories. Don't let those memories fade order your 20012002 yearbook today. If you don't buy the book HOW will you know what a BRONCHO is? If you don't buy the book how will you be able to find out WHO the mascot really is? If you don't buy the book how will you who won homecoming queen or how will you remember what organization you were in... You won't! You have to buy the book! Anyway, I'm not going to beg, plead, bribe, blackmail, or try to coerce you any more. Or wait a minute. Maybe I will. You never know what sort of pictures we could have on some of our reels. Maybe you want to come by and make sure that one of you in the cow suit doesn't go to print (You know who you are.). If you buy a book I can guarantee it won't. Seriously, yearbook pre-sales are in full swing and we have about 300 left to sell. If you want a yearbook, now is the time to reserve your copy. There may not be any left when they get here in April. And even if there are, you'll save money by ordering yours now. They are only $15 until Dec. 14, after that they go up to $20. For five dollars extra we will ship your yearbook anywhere in the world. Come by and say hello. Our office is in Room 212-B of the Communications Building, or call us at 974-5174. •

"We didn't shoot the ball very well, but I thought our effort and defense was pretty good," said UCO coach Jim Seward. "We got a lot of turnovers and they sent us to the line quite a bit, but we've got to do a better job offensively. It was a good start and gives us something to work with." UCO had six players score 12 or more points including Dantrail Coleman who hit 20, Pritchett with 19, Norton Edmonds and Terry Odom both scored 15.

with Harry, watching him grow up, and now is their chance to see the characters and events in their imagination manifested onto film. The first film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series was released on Friday, Nov. 16. I award director Chris Columbus 50 points for making a film version that stood up to a book held so sacred by Harry lovers worldwide. There is not a lot of dialogue in this movie, instead focusing on
special effects. With so much material that had to be included, attempting to take in everything that made the cut was an enjoyable but trying task. Surprisingly, much of the film version of Rowling's literary descriptions aligned accurately with many theatergoers' imagination. People left the theater with comments like "exactly how I pictured it," "great casting" and "best adaptation."
The movie was more of a string of events - a fast journey that soared through the chapters, dazzling the audience with magic and capturing the many small details of a wizarding world. However, after two hours the movie reached somewhat of an anticlimactic ending. It was hard to grasp the importance of the final conflict, due to a lack of character development. That is not to say I didn't enjoy every minute of the movie. I'm biased, since I already understood what makes each character tick, so character development wasn't necessary for me. It's hard to determine how I would have enjoyed the movie if I hadn't read the books. Movie watchers who had not read were few and far between. One woman, new to Harry Potter, said she enjoyed the movie and was going to read the books soon. Overall, the opening night of the film seemed to be a success to Potter fans. For anyone considering a go at the movie, my advice is to read the book first and then watch. Even if all else fails, Quidditch will not let you down. •

Wednesday by a judge of simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment. He also was ordered to take an anger-management class. Police said McPhatter flew into a rage June 9 when the employee at Sesame Place didn't respond to his daughter's request to have her picture taken with the character. McPhatter, a student at The Citadel military college in South Carolina, called E. Jennie McNelis a "mean Cookie Monster," then punched her through the mouth of the costume, knocking her down, police said. McPhatter and his girlfriend, Sabrina Quiroz, the child's mother, testified that the 22-yearold theme park worker shoved their daughter several times, flung
a paw in McPhatter's face, then tripped. The 3-year-old, Mina, testified before a judge that "Cookie pushed me in the face." McPhatter had faced up to two years in prison. "I'm satisfied. The guy didn't deserve to go to Graterford prison, but the girl spent two months in physical therapy," Bucks County Assistant District Attorney Robert Mancini said. MORRISTOWN, Tenn. (AP) — A man found spray-painted orange from head to knees died from inhaling paint fumes, and his death has been ruled a homicide, police said. Terry Pease, 45, was apparently disrobed and sprayed with
"Halloween-type" hair coloring before collapsing at his cousin's house Nov. 2, Morristown detective Rick Harmon said. No one has been arrested. Pease left his cousin's house with two women and a man, then returned hours later intoxicated and painted orange, Harmon said. The paint fumes overwhelmed Pease's respiratory system, causing his bronchial tubes to swell and cut off the flow of oxygen to his bloodstream, Harmon said. "On the cans of this type of hair dye, there are warning labels that say the paint can be fatal. This is unbelievable," Harmon said. Harmon said he believes that Pease died as the result of a prank but said the investigation is ongoing. •

Staff Writer
dmond artist, C. Butler Pendley, has captured the Old North Tower in a handsculpted ornament. , The ornament features a handpainted, 3-D drawing of Old North, and is available , at Pendley's studio, The Angel House, located at 203 E. Main St. in Edmond. Pendley has a limited edition of 1,000 ornaments priced at $19.95 each. "I decided it would be fun to have a tree with old Edmond on it," Pendley said. "I drive home every night and see Old North. I think people would like to see it in an ornament. These ornaments are nice to have out all year round." Old North Tower was founded as the Normal School of the Territory of Oklahoma. It was built in the fall of 1892, and its first four rooms and an assembly hall were occupied January 1893. Diane Rice of the UCO Archives office said it started out as a small, square building. The wings and tower were eventually added, and the building was completed January 1898. In November 1972, Old North was dedicated as a National Historic Site. The Old North ornament is the third in a series of historic Edmond buildings Pendley plans to design
INTEGRIS
annually. Her first two ornaments are of The Angel House, in both summer and winter. The Angel House is one of Edmond's oldest structures, built in 1902. In 1907, a banker named John Anglea, pronounced "Angel," bought the Victorian house. His son bought the house later, and it remained occupied by the Anglea's family for 64 years. Pendley said the house was then sold to Jim and Joyce Little, and in turn people referred to it as the "Little Angel House." Pendley was drawn to the house, when, in 1981, she was looking for a place for her art studio. Her real estate agent showed her the Angel House, which she bought and has kept since then. "I'm the fourth owner in 100 years," she said. Pendley said she plans to do ornaments with the Arcadia Round Barn and the Rodkey
House in Edmond next. Marilyn Shewmaker, collections coordinator at the Edmond Historical Society, said the Round Barn was built in 1898, and restored from 1988 to 1992. The barn, located on Highway 66 near Lake Arcadia, houses a museum and is open to the public. Isaac William Odor built the Rodkey House, located at 30 E. Campbell St. in August 1900. Owners Henry and Janice Saulnier restored the Victorian style house in 1999. Portions of the proceeds from Pendley's ornaments will be donated to the Edmond Historical Society, to help promote the continuation of historical projects in Edmond. Pendley said in addition to her handcrafted ornaments, her shop features its namesake — Angels. She also sells gifts and accessories, garden related art and Christmas decorations. •
