The Central football team upset Mesa State to advance to the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs.
Bronchos upset Mesa State in first round of playoffs Central's 20-15 win secures them a place in the second round, where they will face Texas A&M-Kingsville. by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor Deep in Bronchos' territory, Uriah Matthew forced a game-saving fumble by Mesa State's Sean McGraw 'to preserve the Bronchos 20-15 upset over the West Region's top seed in Grand Junction, Colo. on Nov. 22. Despite injuries to several key players, the Bronchos advanced to the next round of the Division II playoffs when they will travel to Kingsville, Texas to face Texas A&M-Kingsville on Saturday. On a cold, muddy field at Stocker Staduim both teams struggled to find their offensive rhythm early. UCO struck first as Jarrod Manoy rumbled for a 11yard touchdown to cap a 11play 80-yard drive. Manoy got the drive underway with a 25-yard run to the UCO 45. On the Mavericks next possession, Matthew forced MSU's Kevin Miller to fum-
ble and Ryan Cooper recovered it on the MSU 15. The Bronchos were unable to capitalize as Manoy fumbled on the ensuing drive, giving UCO the 7-0 lead at the end of the first period. After a stalled Maverick possession, Manoy broke a 64-yard touchdown to give the Bronchos the 14-0 advantage early in the second quarter. The Mavericks responded with a drive deep into Broncho territory, but MSU's Jeff Mowry fumbled and Tyler Holland recovered at the UCO 12 to stifle the Mavericks scoring opportunity. MSU forced a UCO punt then Chad Whiteside forced another Maverick fumble to give the Bronchos the football at the MSU 38. The Central offense couldn't move the football and turned it over on fourthand-11 after Erick Johnson missed Jared Meers with a pass. Mesa State immediately
capitalized on the turnover, taking the ball 85 yards on 4 plays capped off by a 56-yard touchdown gallop by Charles Dukes. Casey Coulter missed the extra point to make to score UCO 14, MSU 6. The Mavericks forced a three-and-out then quickly moved the ball down the field in their two-minute offense. Aided by a roughing the passer penalty, the Mavericks got a 45-yard field goal from Coulter to cut the UCO lead to 14-9 at the end of the first 30 minutes. MSU started the third period with a bang forcing a UCO fumble, then going on a 7-play 37-yard drive to take their first lead of the contest. Mowry took it in from five yards out to give the Mavericks a 15-14 lead. Alfonso Alfini was stuffed on the 2-point conversion attempt, keeping the Maverick lead at one point early in the second half of play. Both teams had the ball for a possession but could do
nothing with it. After a penalty nullified a successful fake punt, Ryan Lopez won the field position battle. His 75-yard punt pinned the MSU offense at their own 6yard line. The Bronchos defense rose to the challenge, forcing the Mavericks into a threeand-out. Coulter's punt only went 14 yards giving UCO the ball at the MSU 15. Johnson exploited the mistake, hitting Dee Dee Carter in the end zone from nine yards out to give the Bronchos the 20-15 lead at the end of the third quarter. Unable to move the ball throughout much of the final period, MSU got their final chance with 4:44 left and the ball at their own 33. Two completions from McGraw to Dukes got the Mavericks into Broncho territory at the UCO 43. Four rushing attempts netted 20 yards to get MSU to the

Rick Russick Staff Writers Disagreements over deadlines for accepting student organization budgets have resulted in a bill aimed toward stripping UCOSA president Kate Thrift of her overseeing budget duties. Some student organizations missed the deadline set for submitting the budgets and, as a result, accusations of favoritism have been brought against Thrift. A bill was introduced to UCOSA by Broncho Battalion Senator Nicholas Harrison charging that Thrift chosen to "execute the lineitem veto" in regard to appropriations. The deadline for student organizations to submit budgets was Nov. 3, Thrift said. Old Blue Crew, Alpha Phi Omega and the American Society of Safety Engineers missed the 5 p.m. deadline said Thrift. Thrift said the Asian Student Association was first thought to have missed the deadline but it was determined later that the organization did meet the deadline. The bill, written by Harrison, states that "[Thrift] does not have the power to review student organization funding requests," and that, "The student body president has overstepped the limits of her authority when she single-handedly denied several student organizations' funding requests." "Legally, it's not her role to do something like this," Harrison said. "She does not
have the right to pick and choose which requests she will approve." Harrison said that the statutes [Thrift] is going by are wrong, something that Thrift disputes. "I'm just following the rules and guidelines set by UCOSA," she said. She said she cannot accept budgets after deadline. "UCOSA stands to work together to better UCO and the students," Thrift said. "This has been just a miscommunication." UCOSA's Rules Committee rejected the bill Nov. 24_ The bill is dead, although Harrison can rewrite it if he chooses, Senate Pro-Temp Amy Dunnaway said. "The Rules Committee didn't like how it was written. It felt like a personal attack instead of a bill on budget appropriations," she said. "It wasn't [Thrift's] decision to not accept budgets. It was the appropriations process. The Senate made the decision," she said. The committee didn't want it to see the floor because it was poorly written, she said. "It shouldn't be on [Thrift's] watch to make sure any organization fails. [Thrift's] job is to make sure that all students and organizations succeed. [She has] a voice and a responsibility to represent every student and constituent," Harrison said. "I took an oath to protect and abide by the rules, not to breach them," Thrift said.
Central to get 'Naked' by Kim Roberts Staff Writer Starting Jan. 19th, Central will broadcast "Naked in the Morning with Irish Dave, Kevin and Buffy" on Z99.9 FM. The show is the brainchild of Central broadcasting students and co-hosts David Doughty, Kevin Rizer and Krista Lander. "We want to be the station on people's alarm clock," Lander said. "We want it set to Z99 so you wake up naked every morning." "Naked in the Morning" will air a mix of alternative rock and talk from 8 to 9 a.m. to radios on campus, Doughty said. Call-ins and guests will also be a part of the format. "We think this is something people will want to wake up for," Doughty said. The show is being done not for class credit but because they felt a need for it, he said.
"They [Doughty, Rizer, Lander] came to be about two weeks ago," said Dr. Keith Swezey, program sponsor and communications professor. "They'll put together a demo tape, and we'll finalize the plans." Swezey, program sponsor, said that if all goes well, the show will air next semester. "People should listen for us during our first week of airing," Rizer said. "Naked in the Morning" will give away free T-shirts and other prizes during the first week on air. Students in the past have used the station sporadically for assignments, but Rizer said there has not been a regular radio program on Z-99 for the past four or five years. "The rest of your day might suck, but the morning will be great," Doughty said.

with Rick Russick On Nov. 18, The Vista ran an editorial cartoon saying, "These are dark days to be a Campus Republican. Forgive them almighty Fox News, for they know not what they have done. They are in need of a liberal hug." Unfortunately, The Vista failed to explain what that editorial was about. The College Republicans knew what that cartoon meant, and still, they failed to respond with a letter to the editor. I am referring to Gavin Elliott's Nov. 11 column on the war in Iraq. He basically asked, "What the hell is going on in Iraq?" Now, if you Republicans really want to know where I stand on this issue, I will tell you that first of all, I think the Iraq War is a multifaceted issue. Those who are against the war are not necessarily wrong, and those' who are for the war are not necessarily right. I can't speak for Mr. Elliott, but I know that I have been also wondering, "What the hell are we still doing over there?" I am for the troops and I am for the war. What I am not for is the Bush administration's handling of Iraq's reconstruction. President Rumsfeld, I mean, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld (I always get that one confused) seems to want us to annihilate Iraq. Secretary of State Colin
Powell wants us to be more democratic and work more with other countries. President Bush has absolutely no tolerance, and sometimes I'm not sure if he really knows what he wants to do. Please, Mr. President, for the love of Pete, don't be like your dad on this one! I'm not saying the guy is an idiot. I mean, I voted for him. Unless one of the Democrats is smart enough to say anything remotely intelligent, I'll probably end up voting for him again. He is passionate in his leadership and he has good morals. But I am afraid that he is trying to hard to listen to both sides of the fence and please the Democrats. Make a decision, Mr. President. We have men and women dying over there. Why the cartoon? Mr. Kyle Houts called The Vista' demanding that we run a conservative viewpoint in our newspaper. If we refuse, he says the College Republicans will no longer `cooperate.' To say that Mr. Elliott's column was liberal shows how one-sided you really are. One more thing, please, Mr. Houts, if you want to get your voice heard, write a letter to the editor. That is the only proper way to get your voice heard. Mr. Houts, please do not threaten us. For one thing, the press can be your friend; however, we can also be your enemy.

Broncho Battalion competes in Ranger Challenge by Michelle Pfeiffer Contributing Writer It was a cool Friday morn-
ing when nine cadets dressed in camouflage fatigues loaded up in vehicles outside Thatcher Hall and headed out looking for adventure. These students are members of UCO's ROTC Broncho Battalion. The adventure they were heading for was the Ranger Challenge Competition. Over a period of two days cadets would be tested both mentally and physically in six grueling events—a night patrol, onerope bridge, grenade assault c ourse, an orienteering or land navigation course, Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), and a 10K forced road march with 401b rucksacks. I was along for the ride and boy, what an adventure it would be. The Ranger Challenge Competition is the collegiate athletic event of Army ROTC. Members of this team would be equivalent to the members of a varsity squad in any other sport. I was honored to be amongst them as we set out. Our adventure would take us to an army base, Fort Leonard Wood, in Missouri. On the road, minds were focused and I sat back and listened to strategies being discussed. I learned that the competition had already started for these cadets. Back at UCO they had already taken two written exams. One exam was over map reading and land. navig4.-
don while the other was over patrolling. We arrived at Ft. Leonardwood and were directed to a large open bay where they were told to set up cots. This is where they would be sleeping. After dropping their gear on their cots, the Broncho cadets sat down to a hot dinner. In the Army, this is affectionately referred to a "Chow." So with a full stomach and high energy, the cadets got to work getting ready for the first event—the night patrol. I was to join them on this patrol, so I paid close attention as the cadets started planning. Their objective was to "recon" an enemy's position and report back the intelligence the cadets gathered. In layman's terms they were to travel undetected to an enemy position, sit and watch the enemy's movement, gather as much information as possible and report the information gathered. At night fall the team started out and I followed close behind. At first glance, the Ft. Leonardwood terrain can fool you. The terrain quickly grew very rough. These cadets moved along steep creek beds, over fallen trees, and across beds of rock. Thorns clung to our pant legs and tree limbs grabbed at our shirts and our faces. I had to be sure of every step I took or my next thrill would be a tumble to the bottom of the creek bed. Six hours and eleven kilometers later, the Broncho Ranger Challenge team found the
enemy and reported back all the information they could gather. It was now 4:30am the next day. It had grown very cold and the cadets returned to their cots to change clothes and take about a twenty-minute nap. Within the hour the next phase of the competition was to begin—the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT). This physical fitness test measured the cadets' ability to do sit-ups, push-ups, and a two mile run. Of course these well-trained cadets wanted to do as many push-ups, and situps as possible, as well as run the two miles in the fastest time they could. They were all pushing for that perfect score of 300. After a long night in the woods these cadets had to be tenacious and muster up a great deal of strength to accomplish this task. It was now 6:00 am and they were off and running. After their fitness test, the cadets we allowed to rest for a bit and take in some hot soup or an Army Meal Ready to Eat (referred to by all as the MRE). This is when I watched as they started to pack their backpack-like rucksacks with the required materials for the next events. We then moved to a new location where I encountered a low creek bed with three large poles planted on both sides. I quickly learned that this site was where the onerope bridge competition would take place. This event was by far, the most fascinat-

ing of the events. The object of this event was to string a rope from one pole to another one across a creek, about 90 feet. This rope was to act like a bridge across this water obstacle. Cadets were to then get across it by making a harness out of a short rope provided to them. They weaved this rope around their legs and it turned into a nifty little harness called a "swiss seat." The cadets slid across this rope on a carabineer attached to their swiss seat. The ultimate task was to build the bridge, get all the cadets across it and then tear down the bridge. All this was to be accomplished under an eightminute time limit. Seems easy enough, but there was a catch. All the cadets had to be wearing a fully packed rucksack, their load bearing equipment (LBE) which consisted of a belt with two canteens and two ammo pouches attached, their Kevlar ballistic helmet, and a weapon as they crossed the bridge. There was another rule; nothing could touch the ground as the team maneuvered across the bridge. Not a single piece of equipment could fall, nor could a cadet scrape the ground in any way. This event would be the epitome of teamwork. Rucksacks are very heavy to carry and weighted all the cadets down. This would be the first time the cadets had to negotiate this event with this equipment, and each rucksack added approxitmately twen-
ty-five pounds to the weight the cadets carried. The Ranger Challenge teams were allowed two tries to successfully complete this event. Of the two times the Broncho Battalion cadets negotiated the bridge, their second try was by far, their best. The cadets' teamwork and motivation had paid off They were only the second school of twenty eight to complete this event in the time allotted. The victory celebration was short lived. The cadets had to move quickly to the grenade assault course. Here I was amazed as I watched these cadets negotiate a unique course. They were given "dummy" grenades and many different scenarios in which to use them. I watch cadets crawl low on the ground up to an "enemy" bunker, assault it with a grenade and move out quickly to the next station. Scenarios consisted of cadets lying down and throwing from their backs, throwing grenades over walls, throwing from within holes, assaulting from around vehicles, and many other combinations. The cadets were pleased with their scores and I could only stand in awe at the precision of each throw and maneuver. According to the cadets, it took a great deal of practice and patience to learn all the proper techniques for throwing the grenades and moving the course correctly. Next the cadets hustled to the orienteering site. Cadets
were given a list of points to first locate on a map. After pinpointing the point on a map these cadets were to find each point's physical location. For this exercise, cadets were to move on foot and work under a sixty-minute time restraint while finding as many points as possible. These cadets headed out into the rough wooded terrain they had traipsed the rough the night before. This time they did have daylight working for them. After returning and receiving their score the Bronchos were ready for their final event. The most grueling event of them all awaited these cadets—the 10K forced road march. Cadets were to run ten kilometers while wearing full rucksacks, their Load Bearing Equipment, ballistic helmet, and they had to be carrying a weapon. They were to stay together and run as a group. The Bronchos crossed the finish line with motivated yells. From as distance you would have never known these cadets had worked hard for two days straight with very little sleep. However, on closer inspection you could see their weathered and tired faces. It had been a long weekend and the Ranger Challenge competition was complete for these cadets. Throughout the Ranger Challenge the Broncho Battalion cadets displayed the warrior spirit of a fighting solider and an untamed Broncho.

Students hold teach-in to promote Democratic candidate for president by Lauren Pulsinelli Staff Writer Central hosted a teach-in for democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich Nov. 21 in the Communications Building. JoshUmar, Central student and campus coordinator for Dennis Kucinich's campaign, started off the event by announcing that he was never interested in politicsbefore Kucinich was running for office. Umar said he began his interest after he was told to look at a Kucinich web site. He was so impressed by what he saw there, he decided to do all he could to help further Kucinich's campaign for presidency. Umar said Kucinich has what no other candidate has — "the simple principle of integrity." Umar is not the only one on campus who supports Kucinich's campaign. Dr. Brendan Lalor, assistant professor of Humanities and Philosophy, contributed to the Kucinich campaign by creating a web site at www.okforKucinich.us . Lalor said he thinks part of Kucinich's appeal is the vast difference between him and Bush. "He represents fundamental change, which is what this country needs now," Lalor said. After Umar finished discussing the reasons for the teach-in, a 30-minute video was shown that incorporated
patriotic images of Mt. Rushmore, the Statue of Liberty, the Lincoln Memorial and the American flag along with actors promoting Kucinich. The video stated that, the president elected in 2004 is likely to get to appoint three justices to the Supreme Court during his term. On the video, Kucinich said if he is elected president, "Only those who agree to uphold Roe v. Wade will be nominated for the Supreme Court." Roe v. Wade was a 1973 landmark case in which the Supreme Court ruled that state laws could not forbid a woman to have an abortion during the first three months of pregnancy. Kucinich talked about being "pro-abortion" but said he wants to work to make abortions less necessary Kucinich discussed his stance on other areas of national government. He talked about the need for separation between corporations, which is similar the separation of church and state. Kucinich said he wants to eliminate the Patriot Act because he instead believes in the "Benjamin Franklin True Patriot Act." This second Act would repeal major sections of the Patriot Act and assure that powers granted in it do not inappropriately undermine civil liberties. The video was not simply

Helping any candidate can be as simple as sidewalk chalking their name or donating a few dollars, he said. One student asked a question about how Kucinich was doing in the Democrati party debates. "When [Kucinich] does speak, he does so brilliantly that he gets standing ovations. Yet he is consistently denied as much time as candidates like Clark," Umar said.

Turnovers and poor shooting led to the UCO men's basketball team dropping games to Emporia State and Oklahoma City University last week, putting them at 0-3 on the season. After a horrible start in the first 20 minutes, UCO fell 91-76 to OCU (3-1) on Nov. 22 at Abe Lemons Arena. The Stars jumped out quickly on the Bronchos taking a ninepoint lead after a 3-pointer by Ryan Godwin. OCU held a consistent 10-point advantage until Muyi Sosanya hit a jumper from just above the foul line to cut it to eight at 19-11. But OCU responded with a 12-0 run capped off by a followup jam from Geno Chambers to give the Stars 'a '31111 lead 'with 5:49'left in the first. The' Bronchos couldn't cut into the lead for the

rest of the half as the Stars took 48-26 lead to the locker room. The Bronchos shot 27% in the first half and only 8.3% from the 3-point line in the first half. UCO battled back early in the second as Jamaal Ramey's lay-up cut the Stars lead to 59-50 with 11:49 left in regulation. But OCU's Eric Tatum took over, repeatedly penetrating into the lane creating free throw opportunities and easy buckets for himself and his teammates. A free throw by Aundrae Grayson gave the Stars the 17point lead with 5:34 left. UCO turned up their intensity on the defensive end igniting a 9-0 run topped by a two-handed dunk by Calvin 011ie to make the score 8071. It was as close as the Bronchos would get as the Stars sealed the game with several free throws from Grayson down the stretch. The Bronchos outscored the Stars 50-43 in the final 20 minutes but their slow start created a 22point grave they couldn't dig out of. The Bronchos turned the ball over 27 times on Nov. 19, leading to a 103-74 loss to Emporia State (1-0) at WL White Auditorium in Emporia, Kan. UCO shot the ball well in the first - half, connecting on 18-of-36 shots. But 17 foul shot attempts by the Hornets and 13 UCO VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Bronchos sweep Midwestern State and Texas Women's by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor The UCO women's basketball team swept two games at the Pioneer Premiere in Denton, Texas last weekend. On Nov. 22, Jackee' Brown's 3-pointer with 2:21 left broke a tie to help UCO to a 55-49 win over Texas Women's University. TWU led 37-27 with 15 minutes remaining but the Bronchos went on a 20-10 run to *tie the game at 47 when Young hit a shot with 2:55 left. UCO took the lead 34 seconds later when Brown hit her 3-pointer, then Young hit a jumper to give the Bronchos a 52-47 lead. Free throws sealed
the deal as UCO improved to 2-0 on the season. The Bronchos struggled shooting the ball making only 19-of-70 shots. Brown's 3- po in ter was UCO's lone 3-pointer of the game as they missed 15-of-16 from the 3-point line. Central had problems from the charity stripe, hitting only 52.4% percent of their free throws. UCO outscored TWU 3734 in the final 20 minutes to earn the five-point victory. Laura Hamilton scored 14 points, secured seven rebounds, dished out five assists and grabbed five steals. Woods added 11 points, Young 10 and
Brown had 9. The Bronchos earned an 6560 upset win over 2003 Division II national tournament qualifier Midwestern State on Nov. 21. It was a battle throughout, with seven lead changes and 13 ties in the game. The Bronchos led 28-26 at the half, despite hitting only 39% of their shots from the field and going 0-for-6 from beyond the arc. The Bronchos led the Lady Indians 56-49 with two minutes remaining but MSU rallied to make it 63-60 with 48 seconds remaining. The Lady Indians' Haley Hobson missed a 3-pointer to

tie with 15 seconds left and Laura Hamilton hit two free throws to secure the upset. UCO rediscovered their shooting stroke in the second half, hitting 54.5% from the field and 57.1% from the 3-point line. UCO had a strong game defensively held MSU to 34.4% shooting from the field and 10.5% from beyond the 3-point line. Lindsay Young was sensational with 15 points in 18 minutes. She hit 7of-12 shots and grabbed five rebounds.
