Kennedy dead The Vista commemorates the life and tragic death of our nation's youngest president. November 22, 1963. The day America lost it's innocence. Forty years ago an assassin's bullet took the life of our thirty-fifth president. This fortieth anniversary will no doubt kick up the conspiracy theories that have somewhat settled over the past few years and prompt an influx of visitors into Dallas' Dealey Plaza where John F. Kennedy made his last ride. Kennedy was the youngest man to be elected president at the age of forty-three and won the 1960 election by a razor thin margin. Despite the narrow victory, he quickly gained the support and admiration of the American public with charm and an endearing personality. During his short term as president, Kennedy encountered several international confrontations in Cuba and Berlin. He eased cold war•tensions on August 15, 1963 when the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union signed a test ban treaty forbidding atmospheric nuclear testing. The signing of the
treaty marked the first limitations on arms since the cold war re-directed at Kennedy by the hands of the mob bosses. Another theory says government killed Kennedy — either began. Kennedy's untimely departure shocked millions and many communist or our own.

CSC Mourns Kennedy's Death By Larry Snipes Classes were dismissed Monday as Central State joined the nation in mourning the death of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Shot to death Friday in Dallas, Texas, Mr. Kennedy was buried Monday in Arlington National Cemetery while most of the nation watched on television. The nation's youngest president, Mr. Kennedy was a particular favorite among the younger Americans. This was demonstrated by initial reaction among students. Usually the weekend before Thanksgiving is a time of happiness' for the Central Students. Thanksgiving provides the students with their first long vacation from the world of studies.
The weekend before is spent thinking of many things the students have to be thankful for. They begin saying goodbye to their friends, they begin to socialize more so as to make up for what they will miss with their friends when they go home for the holidays. Most of the students spent this weekend before Thanksgiving in 'deep thought and sorrow. The President of the United States of America has been assassinated. The governor of Texas had been. The phrase heard around campus was, "Why? I cannot believe it or understand it. Why?" News of the attempted assassination came to the students during the lunch period, about 1 p.m.
Students reacted as if it were a macabre practical joke someone was pulling on them. It took a while for them to realize it could be possible. All of a sudden the Student Union lounge became a focal point of interest as students stopped in their preparations for going home or for Friday night's activities. Students crowded around the television • and discovered that an attempt had been made upon the president's life. Everyone has heard of murders and never thought a great deal on the subject. But, for someone to kill the person who was almost America personified was something unbelievable. Many students were able to push the thoughts of this hideous deed from their mind and continue in their planned Friday evening activities. Those
who were able to do this still went their way with an obvious slowness and sense of depression. Those who were not able to put the deed out of their minds seemed to sit alone, even when they were with a crowd, trying to make something out of it, trying to work it into their way of thinking. Frequent, "I still don't understand" were still heard and an almost frequent, `Nou'll never understand" were also heard. Saturday came with the same mood of, "What's going on?" A man had been arrested for the assassination and had almost already been convicted. Saturday morning no one here at Central knew that the alledged assassinator had already been tried and convicted in someone's mind. The idea of Kennedy's death ,
was a little easier to live with Saturday. Time, even a short time can do a lot. Students seemed almost trying to avoid even mention of Friday's happenings. They seemed to realize that it was beyond their comprehension, beyond their way of thinking. The thought of the president's dying probably never passed through any of the student's minds. The thought even of an attempted assassination was so foreign to the students that the thought of a successful attempt was impossible to comprehend.
The Union Was Quiet The Student Union became the quietest it probably has ever been on a Friday afternoon. Suddenly it was announced that John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th president of the
United States of America, was dead.
Something Unheard Of Slowly, the students realized something unheard of during their lifetime had happened The ? began to break up and all through the group were emotional. "I can't believe it. Not in America. Not in the twentieth century." By nightfall, the president's death had settled in the students' mind and the time for working this tragedy into their way of thinking began. They had to, somehow, learn to live with the fact that there is at least one person in today's culture sick enough to kill the president. Maybe there are more. "Why?" was still heard after. The students began learning to live with the hard fact that they had lost a president.
President Webb speaks on Kennedy's impact by Rick Russick Staff Writer "Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country," President John F. Kennedy said during his 1960 inauguration speech. "That famous call to action is what I give to students and faculty today," President Roger Webb said Nov. 7 as he gave his perspective on JFK's life and presidency in the Will Rogers Room, Nigh University Center. Hosted by the Oklahoma Political Science Association and UCO American Democracy Project, the presentation honored JFK's legacy and the 40th anniversary of his death, which will be marked on Nov. 22. In the presentation, Webb used slides and rare film footage of various high and low points of JFK's life. Highlights were JFK's inauguration speech and Marilyn Monroe's "Happy Birthday" tribute to
the president. Dr. Keith Eakins, associate professor of Political Science and member of the Oklahoma Political Science Association who introduced Webb, said, "JFK served our comtry during a time of great opti-• mism and hope for all Americans." "President Webb has shown [us] great leadership. This can be seen by the great moral [that exists] between students and faculty today," Eakins said. Webb said that he sees a great optimistic spirit on campus. "I love this faculty and this place. I feel privileged to be a part of this university," he said. Webb said that this spirit embodies the values that Central stands for. According to Webb, the "3 C's" or core values on campus are civility, character and community. He said that a new era of hope and leadership resonated across America during the Kennedy presidency and that
same spirit resonates across Central's campus. Webb said he considers JFK to be one of the most fascinating men in history "So many questions have been raised about JFK, and these questions lead to fascination," he said. "Would he have pulled us out of Vietnam or escalated the war like Lyndon Johnson did? Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone or was.there some deeper conspiracy linked to the JFK assassination?" he said. Webb said that one of the questions that still intrigues him is why there is still a compelling fascination with the Kennedy family and the personal lives of the Kennedys. Kennedy said in his inauguration speech that "[...] a new torch has been passed to a new generation, and I accept this torch on behalf of Americans everywhere." Webb said that JFK modeled his
address after Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. He said the "Catholic Issue" was big in Kennedy's presidency. In 1960, Rome, feared that Kennedy would become powerful and eventually control the church. However, JFK took that fear like a grain of salt, Webb said. Walter Cronkite, NBC news anchor, asked the president if religious affiliation would hurt his chances in the election. "Kennedy responded, "'Why, the hell do we have to keep addressing this damn religious issue?"' Webb said. Webb said that Kennedy's election in 1960 proved to be a great step forward for religious tolerance. He said that low points of Kennedy's presidency included the Berlin Crisis, the Bay of Pigs disaster and the Cuban Missile Crisis. "Although, JFK's presidency was indeed marred by such events, he still managed to rise above to become one of
•
the most popular presidents that ever lived," Webb said. He said that the Kennedy legacy was filled with its share of scandals and JFK loved women. Kennedy was accused of having affairs with a mobster's girlfriend and Marilyn Monroe, but Webb said that none of these scandals seemed to faze the White House. "The public seemed uninterested in such things like they are today," Webb said. "For one thing, newspaper reporters didn't feel compelled to write about the bad." "If Clinton had been in the White House 40 years ago, I believe he would have had quite a time," he said. Webb said that the main reason why JFK is still popular after 40 years is because of his good looks, charm and wit. "His presidency lasted a little over 1,000 days, yet JFK spoke to young people in a way that hasn't been done since," he said. •

Central Flashbacks with Rick Russick Welcome Centralites. I hope this semester has fared thee well. Unfortunately, this will probably be the last Flashback I give you until next semester, and if fate wills, I shall pick up where we left off. So, enough said, lets get started on our final journey in the annals of Central history. On Nov.. 22, 1960, the Women's Recreation Association bus overturned near Gore, Okla. Luckily, the girls only suffered cuts and bruises. They were on their way to the Outdoor Education Workshop. Fallout shelters were a big concern during the Cold War years, and 1961 was no exception. On Nov. 21, The Vista ran an editorial questioning whether the fallout shelters were really needed. Some students thought they were financially impractical while others thought there would beno reason to prolong suffering and death. Some even called the shelter a "fraidy- hole." The day Kennedy was shot, Nov. 22, was a low point in our nation's history. On Nov. 26, The Vista featured the front page headline "CSC MOURNS KENNEDY'S DEATH." Classes were dismissed early and The Vista reported that, for the first time, the student union was completely silent. In a Vista editorial that day, the question was asked, "Is the U.S. uncivilized?" On Nov. 19, 1964, Wantland Stadium was officially opened for games. The field is named after Central's first athletic director, C. W. Wantland. On Nov. 19, 1968, The Bronze Book won first place in the 34th Annual College Yearbook Critique and Contest in New York City.
Two years later, on Nov. 17, 1970, The Vista and The Bronze Book were considered the "best all around yearbook and newspaper" by the Oklahoma Collegiate Press Association. Central has always been an internationally diverse institution, but unfortunately, not everyone has always gotten along. On Nov. 25, 1975, about 50 Iranian students gathered in protest outside the dean of Men, Alvin Freiberger's office. At that time, single, international students were required to stay in dorms regardless of their age, while American students could leave the dorms when they turned 23. I've heard many students on campus ask why Central spells it's name wrong. Of course, I am referring to the Broncho. There are two reasons for this. First of all, "Broncho" is an antiquated spelling, according to the Funk and Wagnall's Unabridged Dictionary. The second reason is because that is the way Central originally spelled it. If we were to change the spelling to "bronco," that would undermine, our school's heritage. Unfortunately, the student senate tried to change the spelling. On Nov. 21, 1978, the move to change the spelling went to a vote. Fortunately, the spelling was never changed and Central is still known as the "Bronchos." Here's something funny. On Nov. 21, 1978, complaints about food in the Central Cafeteria led to an editorial in The Vista addressing the issue. "Is criticism justified?" The Vista asked. "No, we do not use powdered eggs," Louise Ford, Central Cafeteria's manager said. "We only use fresh eggs for breakfast; however, sometimes leftovers are used, but we do try to cook to measure," she said. Scandal and politics go hand-inhand, and Central is no exception. On Nov. 20, 1980, President Bill Lillard, after being accused by The Vista of censorship, was being re-evaluated by the
Board of Regents. Tim Chavez, the paper's editor-in-chief, eventually dropped the charges against the president. Hey, did you know that a 70-yearold man attended Central? Check this out. On Nov. 17, 1981, the man graduated Central with a Liberal Arts degree. He said he wanted to go to school when he was younger, but couldn't because of the Great Depression. On Nov. 18, 1982, violence visited Central. Sometime during the night, someone fired five shots at the front door of Old North. Police never did find the suspect but knew the person used a small caliber weapon. On Nov. 17, 1983, two cases of Hepatitis A were found on campus. For some reason, students seemed unconcerned, The Vista reported. Here's something for the anti-smoking advocates. Did you know that The Vista once ran smoking ads? Yep, they did. As a matter of fact, in the 1920s to the 1940s, Chesterfields were the big contributors. Lucky Strikes ads filled the 50s and 60,s, with Camels in the 70s to the 80s. On Nov. 20, 1986, Dr. Ray Tassin, chairman of the journalism department said, "If cigarette ads are banned then car ads should also be banned since more people die from car accidents than cigarette smoking." Here's something that may raise a few eyebrows. On Nov. 24, 1987, The Vista ran a letter to the editor. In the letter, the student was upset because the Oklahomans Against Pornography organization passed an ordinance requiring women serving alcohol in strip clubs to wear at least a g-string and pasties. Citing John Locke and the separation of church and state, the student argued that women in bars should have the right to be nude if they want to be. "Why are female breasts bad but male breasts are not?" the student said.
By CHUCK CRUMBO The (Columbia) State COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) _ From his porch, Mike DuBose had a front-row seat to see how urban war is fought these days. A Vietnam veteran, DuBose watched Marines pile out of two panel trucks and circle a vacant, two-story brick office building across from Olympia Mill in their final exercise in Columbia. Flashes of light from inside the building were followed by deafening bangs. Gunfire crackled throughout the neighborhood. Two helicopters, one like the Huey that DuBose used to ride in back in Vietnam, circled overheard. ' It brings back a lot of memories," said DuBose, 52, who was an artilleryman with the Armys 101st Airborne Division. "It was impressive." In less than an hour Monday's exercise involving members of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit was over, ending the outfits two-week stay in Columbia. During that stretch, eastside residents have heard the helicopters rotors beating the air as they ferried Marines from McCrady Training Center near Eastover to exercise sites. The Marines headed back to their base at Camp LeJeune, N.C., on Tuesday and were to prepare to deploy to the Middle East with the USS Wasp Attack Group. Theyll leave sometime in late January or early February. The lessons the Marines learned in Columbia will serve them well if they have to fight in Iraq, said Lt. Gen. Henry Osman, commanding general of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force. Much of the fighting in Iraq is being done from block to block and rooftop to rooftop in urban
communities. If the building at the Olympia mills had been in a rural area, the Marines might have called in an air attack, Osman said. That option was ruled out because of the residential neighborhood surrounding the mill, he added. So the Marines needed to come in trucks, a more dangerous proposition. "Because of proximity of the neighborhood we had to take this one down by actually bringing in Marines and disarming by physical presence" rather than a bombing attack, Osman said. To make the exercise as realistic as possible, several Marines, including Lance Cpl. Robert Walters, played civilians who approached troops surrounding the building. "No, I didnt try to break through," said Walters, 21, who is looking forward to his first deployment. "I backed up when the Marine told me to get back." Another tinge of realism was added to two bullet traps posted outside the abandoned building. The traps served as targets 'for sharpshooters posted on the roof of the mill across the street. Inside each trap was a papiermache Saddam Hussein from the waist-up. One of the mannequins, which featured a blueeyed Saddam who looked more like Burt Reynolds, had a bullet hole in the left lung _ a lethal shot. Among a half-dozen residents watching from the railroad crossing was Natalie Mudd, 37, who lives nearby. "It was a little less dynamic than what we had expected," Mudd said, explaining that she thought the Marines might have rappelled from helicopters to the buildings rooftop instead of arriving by truck. "But we enjoyed watching."

G.I. Joe model, Medal of Honor winner dies at 85 LA QUINTA, Calif. (AP) — Mitchell Paige, a retired marine colonel who received the Medal of Honor for heroism in World War II's Battle of Guadalcanal, died Saturday. He was 85. Paige, whose family said he was the last surviving Medal of Honor recipient from the historic ground battle, had long suffered from heart problems. On Oct. 26, 1942, Paige was leading a platoon of 33 men when the Japanese broke through the line directly in front of his position at Guadalcanal, part of the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific Ocean. With all the men in his machine gunner group killed or wounded, he continued to fire on advancing troops until reinforcements arrived. He then led a bayonet charge and drove the enemy's line
back. Paige was given a battlefield promotion to second lieutenant and was one of 440 Medal of Honor recipients in World War II, although 250 were honored posthumously. After the war, he wrote a book, "A Marine Named Mitch," and later served as the model for a GI Joe Marine Doll. Earlier this year, Paige was awarded his Eagle Scout badge 67 years after skipping the ceremony for a career in the Marine Corps. Paige earned the Eagle Scout award in 1936 but joined the Marines before being getting the badge. Scout leaders in Jacksonville, Fla., learned of it and arranged a special ceremony there in March to present it to him.

Dochkova I was on a world trip last week. I did it on foot. I beat up all travel records — in four hours I crossed the boundaries of at least 17 countries, without even changing my shoes! The International Festival at Central turned into a festival for my soul and mind. I found myself walking among people from different nationalities. There were Korean girls in "Han-bok," their traditional dress. I met Pakistani students, rushing to perform their best dance and Kenyan representatives fixing their animal skin-like costumes. Europe was ahead — several students from Bulgaria, Kosovo, Belarus and France were smiling at me. My best navigator — my curiosity — was leading me through the stands decorated with food and souvenirs. The tamales in Spain were as appealing as the exotic Asian food. The Bulgarian meals represented a great mixture of oriental, Mediterranean and European tastes. My food quest ended when a food court specialist from Nepal said that the Indian menu was the best.
In this whirlpool of different images, sounds, smells and tastes I fond myself happier and more social. Minutes before, I had been walking in the black-and-white world of my daily life, and there I was then — on a colorful journey in the City of Life in Hong Kong. Lights of Japan were merging into the golden coins of a Kosovo-Albanian costume. My last stop was at the Indonesian islands. Each of the islands has a specific culture, tradition and religion. And yet there is something I common between them: an Indonesian girl, behind the exhibition stand, pointed to the "sabo," the wooden sandals that everybody wears. The adventurous journey was at its end, and I had to anchor on the American cost. My hands, decorated with Pakistani henna, touched the international flags above the stage. I thought that the world could be just like this room, where an exchange of knowledge, experience and understanding builds a partnership between people. This transformation is possible because it depends on us, the students.

Dome sculptor, former senator receives Oklahoma Spirit Award OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Former state Sen. Enoch Kelly Haney, who sculpted the towering bronze American Indian statue that tops the Capitol dome, is the recipient of the 2003 Oklahoma Spirit Award. Haney received the honor Monday at the state's sixth-annual Native American Heritage Celebration in the state Capitol rotunda. Haney beat out a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, twin medical students, a world champion arm wrestler and seven others to win the award. Haney's statue, named The Guardian, is something of a miracle, said Barbara Warner, head of the Oklahoma Indian Affairs Commission. A decade ago, some Indians proposed topping the Capitol dome with a teepee, Warner said. ,"At that time, the climate was not gooch" she said. '''Ten years later, by gosh there's an Indian on ..41111111116.

the dome. So things can change." The statue stands 17 feet from head to toe and holds a staff that is more than 22 feet tall. It took 10 months to make and required 4,000 pounds of bronze. Haney, of Seminole, served 22 years in the Legislature while building an international reputation as an artist. He won the commission for the Capitol statue in a blind competition. The Guardian was hoisted to the top of the new Capitol dome June 7, 2002. Haney said there was no controversy about putting an Indian on the Capitol. He said plans were already under way for a massive statue cornmemorating the 1889 land run that opened much of Oklahoma to non-Indian settlers. ,The $5 million, 38-piece Land Run sculpture, a -project of the Centennial Commission, is being
installed in downtown Oklahoma City on the south side of the Bricktown Canal. "I think this was something to try to say to native people that they are also important," he said, noting that American Indians contribute $10 billion a year to Oklahoma's economy and are the largest or second-largest employers in many counties. Oklahoma has made progress in its relations with Indian tribes, Haney said. The state has more than 200 compacts with various tribes — government-to-government agreements that he said foster cooperation instead of competition. Oklahoma's Native American Heritage Celebration is held every November — National Native American Heritage Month. The Spirit Award recognizes contributions 'to the state aril to American Indian culture and -heritage.
Microsoft joins music market By The Associated Press The marketplace for legal online music services is about to get more crowded with tech behemoth Microsoft Corp. entering the fray. Microsoft plans to introduce a song-downloading service next year that will compete with similar offerings from Apple Computer Inc., Roxio Inc.'s Napster and others. News of the service was first reported Monday by The Wall Street Journal. A company spokeswoman confirmed that Microsoft's MSN Web site will offer such a service, but declined to provide further details. Industry analysts who have been expecting Microsoft's entry say the software giant could shake up the new, fast-growing business of downloadable tunes. The Redmond, Wash.-based company's dominant Windows operating system gives Microsoft powerful leverage, and its deep pockets could allow it to undercut competitors. In addition, Microsoft's Windows Media Player — software that plays music and video files on computers — is already pervasive, and can be easily adapted to facilitate an online music store from Microsoft. Apple, which helped jumpstart the online music business, said it has sold more than 17 million songs for 99 cents each since it launched its iTunes Music Store in April. Since then, a dozen rival offerings have emerged or on the horizon, including services expected from Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Sony Corp., Dell Inc. and Amazon.com . "The current (music) era has all the characteristics of a gold rush," said Phil Leigh, an independent industry analyst with Inside Digital Media. Microsoft shares fell 35 cents Monday to close at $25.15 on the Nasdaq Stock Market

Athletes with head injuries likely to be injured again By LINDSEY TANNER AP Medical Writer
The Choriste class practices Nov. 19 in the Y Chapel for their Dec. 6th concert.
College of Liberal Arts holds roundtable to discuss programs by Sherrod Wall Staff Writer The faculty and staff of the college of Liberal Arts gathered Nov. 11 in Pegasus theater to discuss future programs, and improvements as wells as issues like under-funding. "University of Central Oklahoma, by any measure, against any comparison group anywhere in the country, is under-funded," Dean T.H. Baughman said. "This is reason why we have had to use fees," Baughman said. According to Baughman the only way to solve the problem completely is for the legislature and the regents to appropriate more funds. "There is a concerted effort this year to have a big push to get the legislature and the regents to come to the reality that UCO students deserve the same kind of financial support from the state of Oklahoma that they are currently giving to other institutions," he said. Baughman then discussed how the funds would be utilized. He said that the number one priority for the funding would be to hire more full time faculty. Some of the other major pri-
orities he listed are building facilities for necessary classrooms and faculty offices and making more classes available for students. Baughman then went on to talk about the Liberal Arts college's strategic plan. The mission statement for the plan he said is, 'helping students learn'. "We went for what we thought was the most succinct statement of what the college of liberal arts is about," Baughman said. "It's not clever or unique but it is really what we're really about–helping students learn," Baughman described the plan as a "living document" something that will go on through the course of the years achieving its goals. Assistant Dean Daniel Donaldson reviewed how the Liberal Arts College will utilize fees to improve the environment of the Liberal Arts building. "It's attached to certain courses and is going to be used at least for a couple of years to improve the building conditions," Donaldson said. The first priority is installing new classroom furniture. "Getting those terrible chairs and those terrible desks out is out first priority," Donaldson said.
He said that seven to ten classrooms will be renovated each semester until all the classrooms are done. The second priority is improving the common area furniture in the Liberal Arts building. "Students need places to sit and study and sometimes to take a nap," Donaldson said. The study carrels are also going to be improved. The third priority is miscellaneous improvements such as removing fluorescent lights and installing incandescent ones in their place. "I've heard some people say `I teach in some of these rooms and I like to show 35mm slides with digital pictures and the fluorescent lights really mess up the picture,'" he said. Replacing flooring and carpeting is also something that will occur in the future. "Facilities Management is going to pay for everything— new tile, new carpet," Donaldson said. Donaldson said the common areas will be done during Christmas break. Associate Dean Pamela Washington spoke about how sections are becoming filled to capacity. "The bad news is that we have lots of sections in every
department that are full to capacity," she said. Washington said she opts to compile lists of students that need to take specific classes that are full, so that other sections can be created. "Once I can get a list of potential students–seven or eight–then I have leverage to go to Academic Affairs and ask for additional dollars to open an additional section," she said. Washington also talked about re-instituting a Student Advisory Board. "We had a collection of students that advised us two years ago," she said. "We got lots of good information from them." Washington said that the advisory board was one of the reasons study carrels were placed upstairs. "We would like to re-convene that group," Washington said. Each department will contact Washington and give her names of students that they deem should be on the board. According to Washington the board will talk about how the college can improve the processes that they go through. Making the building more efficient and facilitating the independent study processes that students use are examples of what the board will discuss.
CHICAGO (AP) – College football players who suffer concussions are left prone to another one, especially if they return to action too soon, and they also become slower to recover from such blows to the head, researchers say. • The research – designed to help schools decide when and if to play injured athletes – supports guidelines that say athletes who have had a concussion should wait seven days after symptoms disappear to get back in the game. The results add to previous research suggesting concussions might make athletes prone to more lasting head injury from another blow. Some smaller studies have also suggested one concussion might make an athlete more likely to suffer a second one. But this study found that the reason might have nothing to do with the athlete's position or playing style. Instead, the findings suggest that one concussion might cause tissue injury that leaves players more vulnerable to additional concussions, said Kevin Guskiewicz, director of the sports medicine research laboratory at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Multiple concussions are known to increase the risk of permanent brain injury, and Guskiewicz said after three or more concussions it "might be time to think about taking up tennis or golf." Concussions are a blow to the head that jostles the brain. Symptoms can include confusion, loss of consciousness, headaches and nausea. Several pro football players have ended their careers early after suffering multiple concussions, including quarterbacks Troy Aikman of the Dallas Cowboys and Steve Young of the San Francisco 49ers. The latest findings were published in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association. The findings are contained in two related studies of a total of 2,905 players at 25 U.S. colleges from 1999 to 2001. Guskiewicz helped conduct both studies, which were funded in part by the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
In one study, players with three or more concussions within seven years of the study period were three times more likely to suffer a repeat concussion than players with no concussions. And 30 percent of players with three or more concussions had symptoms lasting more than a week, compared with 7 percent of players with a first concussion. Ninety-two percent of repeat concussions occurred within 10 days of the first head injury, and 75 percent occurred within a week, Guskiewicz said. About 34 percent of college football players reportedly have had one concussion, and 20 percent have had more than one. In the NCAA alone, which represents 1,200 colleges and universities, there were nearly 58,000 football players in the 2001-02 season, the most recent data available, said David Klossner, NCAA assistant director of education outreach. An NCAA sports medicine handbook says players knocked unconscious should not return to play that same day, and that those who have had a concussion but no loss of consciousness should be cleared by a doctor to resume playing, Klossner said. Otherwise, the NCAA has no specific conference-wide restrictions and leaves it up to individual schools to decide when to allow a concussion-injured athlete to resume playing football, he said. A seven-day waiting period has been recommended by some medical groups, including the American Academy of Neurology, but doctors and athletic directors do not always heed the recommendation, Guskiewicz said. Dr. James Kelly, a coauthor of the JAMA studies, said thorough mental-function tests should be given to all athletes after a concussion. Klossner said that an NCAA committee on safety will review the data to help provide guidance for colleges, but that decisions on how to handle concussions should be made on an individual basis. "We can't make that decision for them," Klossner said.

New Zealand tour to Pakistan given go-ahead despite threats to team By STEVE McMORRAN Associated Press Writer

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand's cricket tour to Pakistan will go ahead despite a threat to the team's safety, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said Tuesday. NZC chief executive Martin Snedden said the tour would proceed but would begin a week later than scheduled at the request of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). "The delay to the start of the tour has allowed specific aspects arising out of the threat received against the Black Caps last week to be resolved," Snedden said. "We have been advised not to comment on any specifics related to that threat." The scheduled tour was thrown into jeopardy last week when an e-mail threatening the New Zealand team's safety was received by a New Zealand diplomatic post. The two-sentence e-mail contained a specific threat against the team. New Zealand Cricket has since worked with the PCB, the International Cricket Coundil, New Zealand's ministry of foreign affairs and trade and its own security adviser to establish its source and validity. Snedden said a five-match one-day series between New Zealand and Pakistan would now begin on Nov. 29, rather than Nov. 20. Pakistan announced the delay, reportedly at New Zealand's request, to allow New Zealand players currently touring India to recover from injuries. The New Zealand tour management was unaware of the delay. Four members of the New Zealand team who refused to travel to Pakistan because of safety concerns arrived home from India on Tuesday. Captain Stephen Fleming has also returned to New Zealand, suffering from a stomach muscle injury. "The Cricket Players Association and the Black Cap players currently in India have been kept fully informed and are
satisfied with the revised playing program," Snedden said. "Security will be at an executive level. "We are satisfied with the security arrangements but will continue to monitor the situation in the leadup to and during the tour." The New Zealand players will now return to New Zealand on Thursday for a short break before departing on the Pakistan tour. New Zealand's last tour of Pakistan, in May 2002, was abandoned when a bomb exploded outside the team's Karachi hotel, killing 14 people including 12 foreign workers. New Zealand Cricket has yet to announce replacements for batsmen Craig McMillan and Lou Vincent, fast bowler Ian Butler and all-rounder Scott Styris who have chosen not to make the Pakistan tour. The contents of the threatening e-mail received by New Zealand Cricket have not been divulged. Unsourced reports said the e-mail contained a warning that the New Zealand team should not tour during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The delay to the tour's start ensures Ramadan will be over before the tour begins. Pakistan Cricket Board spokesman Samiul Hasan said security fears were not behind the decision to delay the start. "There were no security fears earlier and nor there will be security fears after (Muslim fasting month) Ramadan," Hasan said. "The tour is revised because New Zealand has injury problems to their key players," Hasan said. Fleming said on his arrival in Auckland he would support any decision made by New Zealand Cricket on the future of the Pakistan tour. He was uncertain whether his injury would allow him to join the New Zealand touring team. "It's pretty much up to what happens to my injury," he said. "I would like to do it, but it depends at this stage on how my fitness assessment goes."

UCO Head Coach Chuck Langston looks on during his team's final home win on Nov. 8.
UCO faces #1 seed Mesa State in rematch by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer No. 20 Central Oklahoma still ranks ahead of No. 21 Tarleton State in this week's American Football Coaches Association top-25 poll despite losing to the Roadrunners 38-23 Saturday in Stephenville, Texas. It was announced Sunday that the Bronchos had earned the No. 4 spot in the West Region, therefore earning a bid to appear in the NCAA Division II playoffs for the first time since 1999. Only sixteen of the top-25 teams made the playoffs and the rest are done for the season despite their ranking in the AFCA poll. The Bronchos are slated for a
rematch with their season-opening opponent Mesa State in Grand Junction, Colo. Saturday Nov. 22. No. 1 seed Mesa State has since won 10 straight games and the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Crown after a 42-16 thrashing in Edmond on Sept. 6. The Mavericks finished the regular season ranked No. 10 in the AFCA poll with a 10-1 record while the Bronchos finished 8-2 and tied for second place in the overall Lone Star Conference standings. The game first round playoff game between Mesa State and Central Oklahoma will begin at 2 p.m. Saturday and can be heard live on www.bronchosports.com .
