Non-citizens could face military court

THURSDAY

new order from President George W. Bush will place non-citizens connected with terrorism in military courts, stripping them of aspects of due process including opportunity for appeals.

According to the whitehouse.gov web site, Bush said his order, made Nov. 13, can be used against any member of the al-Qaida, anyone who has "engaged in, aided or abetted, or conspired to commit acts of international terrorism," and anyone who has knowingly harbored such individuals.

Anyone except United States citizens, Bush said.

Three University of Oklahoma (OU) international students, all members of the Pakistan Student Association, are being detained by authorities. If charged in connection with terrorism, the three students could be subject to Bush's military order.

OU President David L. Boren said Nov. 13 in a press release, "Details about the facts have not been released to us by law enforcement agencies, so we don't know enough to comment at this time."

Omair Malik, UCO graduate MBA student, said, "A lot of international students are getting jumpy. They're scared these new laws will make things more difficult for us."

Malik said he had already encountered difficulties since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. When crossing the U.S.-Mexican border, he said he was detained by the FBI for over four hours and questioned.

Irfan Asrar, computer science senior, said, "Now people are telling us, 'if you go over the border, don't expect to come back."

As a result, Asrar said most international students would be staying in the United States over

Christmas break instead of student visas."

Daneshfar said, "Within the Asrar said, "Let's face it, all context of where we are, the the people who carried out the United States has to do what it Sept.11 attacks were here on takes to protect the country and

its borders. If someone commits terrorist acts, they shouldn't be allowed the same protections others enjoy; they've put' themselves in a different category."

He argued the Timothy McVeigh trial would have been shorter and cheaper had it taken place in a military court instead of a civil court.

"In the case of a national tragedy like this, I'm for whatever it takes to get to the bottom of things."

Khuzaima Haider, computer science senior, said, "If a civil court handles these cases, it takes years to finish them. The problem with military cases is you don't have time to gather clues."

Still, Haider was in favor of Bush's order, calling it a utilitarian decision.

"You can get maybe 98 percent fair decisions with military court. If so many people are benefiting, it's okay to make a few mistakes. It's okay to make sacrifices for the sake of six billion people." •

A snowplow clears the sidewalks following a snowstorm that began Tuesday evening. Classes were cancelled at 4 p.m. on Wednesday due to the bad weather.

To find out if classes or events will be cancelled or rescheduled, call 974-2002.

True, snow days do cause problems and require make-up days.

Isn't staying in session a couple days longer better than attending the funerals of your classmates?

Another problem, perhaps the biggest, is road rage. Insanity and ice do not mix.

Suppose a car is in the slow lane and can't move any faster without the driver losing control. If the driver gets in the way of a four-wheel drive truck; pray the

truck is under the control of someone patient.

There is no reason for kamikaze drivers to bully more timid motorists.

How much time are you saving if you end up causing a wreck?

Of course, it is simple courtesy for more cautious drivers to drive in the slow lane.

Some of our foreign students may have never seen snow before.

Let's make sure the first snow of fall 2001 is something enjoyable, not deadly. •

LETTERS UCO news director urges caution during winter weather

A

long- with the winter months comes inclement weather in Oklahoma.

Although we don't always experience the extreme cold, ice and snow that some other states do, there are times when weather conditions present difficulty traveling to UCO, and even walking to and from class.

As always, the Physical Plant Department at UCO will do everything they can to keep our parking lots clear and our sidewalks safe and dry.

Maintenance crews will clear as much snow from walkways as possible before classes.

In addition, they will put sand on compacted snow and ice on those walkways in order to improve traction and safety.

However, to prevent permanent damage to UCO's concrete walkways, maintenance crews will be

using a limited amount of salt to melt ice on the university's parking lots and sidewalks.

With that in mind, it is important to remember to exercise caution and use common sense when walking to and from class at UCO. UCO director of Environmental Safety Don Powers says in addition to choosing your path carefully and walking slowly, it is important to wear proper clothing and footwear for winter conditions.

Smooth leather or rubbersoled shoes can be slick on ice and snow making a fall more likely.

Powers says it is better to wear boots or heavy shoes with a good tread on the sole.

If the tread is worn, it will not offer as much support and safety.

Powers makes the following

suggestions to students, faculty Wear boots or shoes with a and staff to consider during good tread on the sole. bad winter weather conditions. If the tread is worn, it will Before you leave home: not perform as well, just like a check the weather reports.. worn car tire.

You can always take a layer off if you get too warm.

Think about where you are going to park when you get to school, then determine what path you will take to class or the office.

When you get to UCO; walk carefully. Go slowly and take shorter steps, and watch where you step.

It is sometimes better to walk on snow than to walk on ice.

You may have to step off the sidewalk onto snow or grass where it is less slippery.

Airport security tightens in preparation for holiday travel JERA STONE

W

Student Writer

ith the holiday season starting Thanksgiving week, Will Rogers World Airport officials have posted updated security procedures in hopes of getting travelers ready for the busy travel season.

One of the biggest changes travelers will see is in regulations regarding carry-on luggage.

Karen Carney, spokeswoman for the airport said to expect increased carry-on baggage searches. Also, the new guidelines allow only one carry-on bag per passenger as opposed to the two allowed before.

"Passengers and airline personnel will have their bags randomly searched at the gate," she said.

One personal item, such as a purse or a laptop computer, will be allowed in addition to the one carry-on luggage.

"People traditionally try to carry on everything," Carney said.

Carney said laptops might be tested and turned on by security personnel.

"If you have a dead battery and no power supply, you are not taking that computer with you."

Travelers should leave holiday presents unwrapped to avoid the hassle of security personnel opening them if the X-ray fails to detect the content, Carney said.

People traveling with children in car seats should note that they will only be allowed to gate-check car seats for children with reserved seats on the plane.

"If you have an infant who doesn't have a reserved seat, you can't carry the car seat on board," she said.

Passengers planning on bringing food or drink on board should leave them sealed if possible.

"They might ask you to take a drink or a bite if the item is opened," Carney said.

"I'm suggesting that people kind of pay attention to what they are

packing prior to getting to the airport," she said.

"It will save a lot of frustration."

In general, people are encouraged to arrive at the airport two hours prior to the departure time. The airlines will not hold the planes for passengers that are late.

"If you are going through security checkpoints or waiting in line, and your plane is ready to leave, you'll miss the flight," Carney said.

According to the Will Rogers World Airport website, prohibited items include knives, ice picks, straight razors, metal scissors, metal nail files, corkscrews, weapons,

aerosol spray cans, explosives, flammable liquids or solids and certain athletic equipment such as baseball -bats and hockey sticks that could be used as weapons.

Passengers are also encouraged to check with the airlines to find out any additional rules or schedule changes prior to their departure dates.

Will Rogers Airport has had nine flights cancelled from their daily departing schedule since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. The most affected destination is Dallas.

"People are driving to Dallas rather than waiting in line at the

airport," Carney said.

There has also been a decline in passenger load at the airport, but it has picked up steadily in October and November.

Most of the flights for the holiday season are filling up quickly, -Carney said.

"Bring a lot of patience. If you haven't traveled in recent months, it's going to be a lot different."

ACUI begins "Stop The Hate" program BRIAN CATES

I

Student Writer

n response to the growing number of reported hate crimes on college campuses nationwide, the National Association of College Unions International (ACUI) has begun a prevention program.

The "STOP THE HATE!" program's goal is for students to start organizations on their own campuses to combat hate and promote student unity regardless of race, gender or creed. to According www.stophate.com , "College students are not just victims and perpetrators, they are essential allies in a comprehensive approach to hate crime prevention."

The website also states by using

tools from violence and prejudice reduction programs, college students can become effective advocates of preventing these crimes.

With the use of educational methods like "10 ways to STOP THE HATE!" the ACUI has made it possible through this program for students to learn what causes people to commit hate crimes and how to combat them.

"There have been no reported hate crimes this semester at UCO," said John Blair, head of community relations for the Department of Public Safety.

"We have been very lucky."

The UCO Campus Life office said students have not expressed interest in establishing hate prevention programs this semester in light of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Winter catfishing heats up

For those brave enough to face the elements, winter can be a very productive time of year to catch catfish. Among many Oklahoma lakes or rivers, the Arkansas river and its tributaries offer excellent wintertime catfishing, particularly fishing for large blue catfish.

Blake Podhajsky, an information specialist with the Oklahoma Department of Conservation, said catching winter catfish was quite an adventure.

"I had done quite a bit of fishing for channel catfish while growing up, but this was quite a trip. We caught several really big fish with some over 10 pounds. I'm definitely going to try it again this winter," said Podhajsky.

New game systems Gamecube, Xbox, Playstation2 compete for players

BY MICHAEL LARSON

I

Staff Writer

wo software giants will battle for their share of the growing video game console market this Christmas.

The Nintendo Gamecube and the Microsoft Xbox, both of which hit shelves the third week of November, will challenge Sony's Playstation2 with their new hardware and game lineups.

Nintendo has had over 15 years in the video game console market, and this will be Microsoft's first venture into the $6 billion-per-year industry.

Xbox uses a 733-megahertz Intel processor and has 64 megabytes of memory. It has an eight-gigabyte hard drive and an Ethernet adapter for high speed Internet access. It can play DVDs with the purchase of an optional accessory.

Gamecube uses the 485megahertz IBM "Gekko" processor and has 48 megabytes of memory.

It lacks a hard drive and Internet connectivity, but has ports for such add-ons.

Both systems support highdefinition television and have four controller ports.

One-year-old Playstation2 has a

295-megahertz processor, 32 megabytes of memory, and plays DVDs without any additional accessories. It has two controller ports, expandable to four, and a modem accessory.

Xbox launched with 20 games, with the acclaimed "Halo" as its flagship title.

Gamecubes launched with eight games, including a new Mario game, Luigi's Mansions; and Rouge Leader, the latest Star Wars game.

Both systems plan to release more games in December.

Playstation2 has a library of over 100 games, including recent critical successes Metal Gear Solid 2, Grand. Theft Auto 3, and. Gran Turismo 3.

The Gamecube has a suggested retail price of $200, Xbox costs $300, and Playstation2 is $300.

The games on all three systems sell for $40 — $60.

Cody McGoodwin, freshman computer science major, won't be buying -either of the game consoles.

"All they put out is family games."

John Potts, economics sophomore, said he's getting an Xbox. "The controllers are better and the games are more geared toward mature audiences."

Andrew Wolfe, sophomore liberal arts major, is betting on Gamecube. He said he's impressed with the clear graphics and simple controls.

"Everybody knows Nintendo, everybody grew up with Nintendo.

You know they'll bring back old games and make them even better."

Local band Hurricane Jane experiences growing fan base

BY SARAH BLOUNT Staff Writer

n an ually warm November evening in Oklahoma City, the sounds 0unus of Joan Jett flow from an open garage. Midway through "I Love Rock and Roll," a violin strums hauntingly, complementing this rock song with the melodic twist of the stringed instrument.

"That one's ready for the stage!" yells Bobby Stem, a member of the small but growing fan base for local band Hurricane Jane.

The five-member band consists of two sisters, Sarah Martin, who plays the violin, acoustic guitar, and backing vocals; and Laura Wilhite, who plays bass and backing vocals.

Kim Mizar is the lead vocalist, Steve Franklin plays the lead guitar and Terry Church plays the drums.

Their first two performances will be held around 9 p.m Jan. 6 and 13 at Henry Hudson's Hideaway, 6728 N. Olie Ave. in Nichol's Hills.

The musicians have two months as a group under their belts. They rehearse every Sunday evening in a friend's garage. On this particular weekend, the fan club settled down in their lawn chairs, clutched their beers and stretched their legs, a positive energy in the air, coming from both the audience and performers alike.

Sarah's husband, Colin Martin, let out a whoop, and immediately after, Hurricane Jane dived into a long list of karaoke favorites. The chart-topping hits they perform are as well known to their fans as a close group of familiar friends.

"Goodbye Earl," by the Dixie Chicks, was considered a hit in the garage.

Stem shouted over the music, "This is what we do every Sunday!

It's awesome!"

"They play stuff people like!"

Colin said.

The band started and stopped abruptly, experimenting with the mechanics of each song. There was an open discussion of what everyone liked and disliked. Some parts were added to songs, while others were dropped, and suggestions were not limited to the band members, but offered freely by everyone listening.

Founding members, Mizar and Martin, have backgrounds in multiple types of music, including country, classical and rock. Both have previous experience in Oklahoma City, Nashville, Tenn., and Dallas.

The violin, a presence in many

"That's a plus, I think," Mizar interjected.

She nodded her head in agreement when Sarah said alcohol is a good thing, and those are the songs everyone likes.

The girls are also aware of the band's female to male ratio. The y use this to their advantage, showing off their harmonizing vocals during the song "You Don't Own Me." The blended voices and "doowop" feeling conjured images of a classic 1950s jukebox hit.

"I feel like going out for a malt in my '57. Chevy," Stem said with a smile.

Late into the evening and many PHOTO PROVIDED Three members of Hurricane Jane are (left to right) Jarah Martin, songs later, everyone was left Kim Mizar and Laura Wilhite. The five-piece band can be seen feeling tired but "great."

That description was the collective opinion of the complete run through. Wilhite, Mizar and Martin jokingly insisted that each other was the greatest.

"It's a lovefest!" Stem said.

Mizar and Martin reflected upon their new band, and discussed the prospects of being future rock stars.

"We don't want to be huge," Martin said. "Kim wanted to be big when she was in Nashville, but now she just wants to be normal."

"We're not going to sell our souls to the devil..." she added, as Mizar gave a mischievous grin and finished her sentence with "yet..."• Log on to www thevistaonline .com to sound off on current issues.

of their songs, is a fixture for every group Martin has been a member of. She performed in an Oklahoma City string quartet, as well as a fiddler in a country and western band in Dallas.

She has a bachelor's degree in music education, and a masters in music performance, both from UCO. Her many years of experience only leaves her anxious to be on stage again.

"I'm totally ready to play, and I'm not nervous at all."

Wilhite, who minors in music at UCO, also plays the violin, but when instrumental roles were assigned, her older sister pulled rank.

"I usually play violin, but I got the boot, so I learned to play the bass three or four weeks ago," she said.

After the rehearsal, Mizar and Martin managed to salvage some

pizza left over from their small audience. They discussed the birth of Hurricane Jane.

"Kim and I got hammered one night and we were researching mixed drinks on the Internet," Martin said. "We came across Hurricane Jane and both knew that was it."

Their namesake, a reference to the brightly colored mixed drink, is not the only reference to alcohol in the band's lineup. In fact, "Margaritaville," "Jose Cuervo" and "Two More Bottles of Wine" are just a few odes to alcohol they practice each week.

"Jose Cuervo" is pretty sentimental to me," Mizar said.

Mizar and Martin grew wideeyed and laughed about the connection between booze and their chosen songs "Oh my God! Is that noticeable?" Martin asked.

Student; author participates in booksigning

BY JERA STONE

Student Writer

A

.

uthor and UCO student, John Williams, recently joined six other local authors in a book-signing event at the Barnes and Noble bookstore in North Oklahoma City.

The Nov. 17 event sponsored

by Barnes and Noble Booksellers store on Memorial Road showcased seven Oklahoma inspirational authors. Williams, a UCO journalism senior, was present with his book about ..urban legends and hoaxes, The Cost of Deception.

Williams developed the idea for the book when he received an e-mail petition stating that Madalyn Murray O'Hair, who sued to have the Supreme Court

abolish prayers in public school in 1963, was urging Federal Communications Commission to ban religious broadcasting.

A statement he had known to be a hoax for years, he said.

O'Hair has been missing since August 1995, and her body was positively identified March this year.

"It was one of those moments where you think someone ought to do something about, you know, an injustice or wrong or something that's going on," Williams said.

Lisa Dore, who bought a copy of Williams' books, said she did so because she had heard speeches given by Williams.

"I knew that he was a real good speaker," Dore said. She had heard a bit about the book

and thought it would probably be as interesting as the speeches.

The event was put together by the joined efforts of Tamara Cramer, community relations manager at Barnes and Noble Memorial road store, and two of the featured authors, Victorya Michaels Rogers and Margolyn Woods.

"We really thought their books were really dynamic and would really touch people with what the country is going through right now," Rogers said.

She said she would like her books to bring people hope at a time when a lot people might be looking for it.

"I'm a Christian writer, so my hope is that my books would bring people a closer relationship to God." Woods

said.

"I hope people . would have a deeper understanding of who God is, and be inspired to live more fervently," said Brian Waite, author and pastor of Quail Springs Baptist Church.

Other authors at the signing were: Louise Tucker Jones, Cheri Fuller and Mark Hitchcock.

Cramer said the bookstore sponsors about two or three book signings a month for local authors.

"It's just a way for us to reach out to the community," she said.

"It's a chance for people to meet the local authors with different books they may not have been aware of before." •

UCO professor spends semester teaching at sea

BY LAURA. BELLO

H

Staff Writer

often can a professor plan his or her office hours on the deck of a ship in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?

Last fall Dr. Roberta Sloan, theater arts chairwoman, and her husband, Dr. Steve Sloan, Oklahoma University political science professor, spent a semester at sea. They taught on, a ship that left Vancouver, Canada Sept. 13 that stopped in nine countries before landing in New Orleans Dec. 22.

Although the situation sounds surreal, Roberta Sloan insists that the 101-day voyage was not a cruise. • "The students worked very hard," she said.

The ship docked for four. days in the destination cities, which included Kobe, Japan; Shanghai, China; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Penang, Malaysia; Chennai, India; Mombasa, Kenya; Cape Town, South Africa; Salvador, Brazil; Havana, Cuba; and New Orleans, United States.

The trip was full of once in a lifetime opportunities. In Cuba they met with Fidel Castro for four hours. _ "It was good timing with the elections and everything. The . students signed petitions 01A7

requesting a meeting with him.

When we landed in Cuba, 15 vans and buses met us and took all 700 of us."

The Sloans' eyes lit up as they recalled their fondest memories of the trip.

"As I was editing the tape, I couldn't stop smiling. We loved everything about it," she said.

The most exotic place for her was the safari in Kenya.

"It was something we always wanted to do," she said.

Steve Sloan interjected, "Imagine seeing a pride of lions just 10 feet from you eating a water buffalo."

In Kenya, they met with elders of the Masai tribe.

"They looked like something you would see in National Geographic. Tall men holding long sticks in long red dress," she said.

Roberta Sloan directed five small theater productions aboard the ship and a soap opera titled, "Cabin Fever." She said the turnout to watch the productions was huge.

"When you are at sea all this time, you need some entertainment."

Roberta Sloan said the trip taught her about the theater in a global context.

"It enlarged my view on what performance can be."

Dr. Roberta Sloan Steve Sloan said his favorite country they visited was Vietnam.

"I was with a group of students on the highlands, it was muddy, raining — I haven't had so much fun in my whole life."

More than anything, the students on the ship continuously amazed him with their attitude towards the places they went.

"We were on a bus in Ho Chi Minh City when one boy stood to get off the bus. I asked him where he was going. It turns out he was a cancer survivor and wanted to visit the local cancer ward and give them gifts," he said.

She said during training, the professors and staff were told that when dealing with students to remember how they behaved when they were 22 years old.

"You've got to love college kids to enjoy these trips," she said.

The entire experience was to integrate everything from traveling to the learning process.

Steve Sloan said, "The kids worked hard — played hard."

After returning Roberta Sloan said this trip helps to put things in .perspective and changed her attitude towards the little things.

"As a [theater arts] chair, things don't bother me as much as they used to."

Aboard the ship were Kerri Struggs, Olympic gymnastic champion and five Oklahoma students.

With all the adventure and exploring, the only broken bones on this trip was from a boy who broke his leg while playing basketball, Roberta Sloan said.

Semester at Sea is a program

de

ri

instituted with the University of Pittsburgh and the Institute for Shipboard Education. Students enrolled in the school were required to take 12 hours and classes were held every day they were at sea. The professors taught three classes.

The number of students was 639 while the crew and professors brought the head count to around 1,000, she said.

The Sloans encourage students and professors who enjoy traveling to apply for a semester at sea.

Tuition costs range from $12,000 — $15,000, which includes room, board and tuition. Professors get their board expenses paid for and will receive payment for teaching.

TRAVEL UCO students share European travel tips; experiences

BY TAY GAVIN Ad Manager

E

very year thousands of college students set out to tackle the new right of passage, the month-long European backpacking trip. Most of them, however, are armed only with the advice to take the trains and stay in hostels. What they find out when they get there is that there is much more they wish they had known.

"The first thing people should know is it's not a vacation. It's an adventure that takes everything out of you," said Michael Beard, and OSU graduate who spent all of June, 2001 backpacking through six European countries.

Like many students, Beard was lead to believe the trip wasn't as physically trying as it turned out to be. On the other hand, OSU graduate Joni Hibsha who went on a separate trip in June of 2001 was fully aware of the physical trial she would face.

"I knew it would be work, but that's part of what intrigued me about backpacking," said Hibsha.

During their four-week journeys, both Beard and Hibsha encountered and overcame many obstacles. Hibsha was traveling by herself, so she took care of the obstacle of finding a place to stay before she left by reserving a place in hostels. Beard, however, left it to chance assuming he and his traveling partner, Jared Donahoe, would easily find hostels with vacancies when they needed them.

Beard and Donahoe were in for a rude awakening.

"Jared and I came into Amsterdam on a Friday, and all the hostels were full for the weekend.

We learned that on the weekends that's basically the way it is everywhere you go, and we had no place to stay." said Beard.

That's when the two agreed to rent a pension from a stranger for a couple days. A pension is a local's own apartment or loft which they rent out to travelers for just a couple more dollars than the cost of staying in a hostel. Beard said in train stations people just come right up to travelers and ask if they would like to rent their pension, so finding one to rent is not that difficult. He also said the accommodations are much better in pensions than in hostels.

"The pensions are a much better deal. For just a dollar or two more you get your own bathroom and bed. It's not just a big room filled with bunk beds like a hostel, and it's more secure. You can take your stuff off, leave it there and know it's going to be safe because you are the only one with a key to your room," he said.

Many problems like this can be anticipated by reading travel books before you leave. There are two very popular series with content specific to backpacking, Let's Go The and

trip, and you should know that the European culture calls for a different dining experience than many Americans are used to.

"Lots of Americans go over there and gripe about it taking so long because they think it's bad service, but that's just the way it is over there. They aren't in a hurry at all," said Beard.

One piece of luggage you can't do without is your money bag.

They're available anywhere you buy luggage and are essential in keeping important documents like passports safe' during Both Beard and Hibsha had your trip.

However, the following in their money Make sure to keep Beard said he bags: originals and one -Passport with photocopies in photocopy in your discovered one to be case original is lost or stolen money bag and more -Credit cards superior. photocopies in your -Student ID "I thought other bag. That way, -Extra passport photos the Lonely if you lose one or the -Copies of prescriptions from other, you still have Planet books were much doctors in case medications are the documents you m o r e lost or stolen need.

Since packing light is crucial, weren't even valid anymore," he you will need to do laundry a few said.

Hibsha suggests reading the times during your trip. There are books before you leave and using plenty of laundromats, but the cost maps once you get there. That of using them is much higher than way, you don't have any room in in America. One load costs around $8 - $10, and that's partly you pack taken up by books.

For food, Beard and Hibsha because in many laundromats found it affordable and convenient you're not allowed to do the to buy bread, meat and cheese laundry yourself, they do it for you from marketplaces to eat during with their soap.

However, the machines are the day and then eat out at night.

By eating so inexpensively much larger than those found in during the day, they could afford America, SQ if you're with a group you can combine your laundry and the expense.

You are sure to go to a split the cost.

one piece of advice to be true: watch out for pickpockets. In Rome, a woman tried to steal Beard's camera, and in Paris Hibsha was lucky to catch the woman attempting to steal items out of her backpack.

"In Rome and Naples, they're everywhere," said Beard about pickpockets. He said, however, if you handle yourself well you will be fine.

"If you look lost or confused, pickpockets will know you're a

tourist, and they'll probably try to steal something from you. If you at least look like you know what you're doing, they'll probably leave you alone."

The month-long European backpacking trip can be a lot more enjoyable when you smooth the road with the right infoimation and advice, so take , the advice of two experienced travelers: read a good book, pack a good bag and be ready for anything. •

ear He Said She Said: my problem is that my girlfriend has a best friend. Well, that's not the problem. The problem is that her best friend is a guy. She goes to the movies with him, has dinner, and spends a lot of time with him. I don't really think she's cheating on me, but I don't trust him. How can I talk her into finding some girl friends instead?

Signed, Jealous Boyfriend

H

Are all her friends guys? Many women tend to have more guy friends than girl friends. They find guys to be easier to talk to, less fixated on clothes and makeup and generally more fun.

If your girl just likes to be "one of the guys," then get over it, this type of woman is far more rewarding to date than the ditz queens.

You would be lucky to not be stuck with some boring future housewife who spends six hours a week on her nails and can use her orange fake-tan skin to signal passing aircraft.

But if your girl is not the least bit tomboyish, never hangs out with guys other than the one you are worried about and has watched "Dawson's Creek" without breaking into hysterics, be worried.

Now for the guy. Face it, us guys are not known for our restraint when we are fixated on women.

Is he the type that will try to worm his way between you and your girl? Most likely, you rarely see a guy hanging out with a girl all the time unless he secretly hopes she will one day dump the boyfriend and need "comforting." Unless she is his sister, but in Oklahoma even that is no guarantee.

He may be the "sensitive" type that she can talk easily to, or he may be the 'comforting" type she confides in. But whatever qualities she sees in him as a friend, that is apparently all she sees, for now.

Just don't do anything stupid, like threaten him or try to get your girl to stop hanging out with him. That is the only way his little fantasy might actually happen in this lifetime. Instead, focus on being yourself — the guy she is dating, rather than trying to imitate whatever qualities she finds in him, the guy she is not dating.

And when your relationship comes to its natural end, you can go beat the crap out of him for the sheer hell of it. (Editor's note: The Vista does not condone violence, and come to think of it, it is illegal, so do not follow Dave's advice and beat this guy up. No matter how satisfying it would be

S

e Said:

First off, don't choose her friends for her unless you want Little Miss Girlfriend to hit the road. Very few people love control freaks. If you don't believe me, just ask any of my ex-boyfriends.

It's not a big deal for women to have male friends. Most of my close friends are men, and it's actually pretty nice to have them around.

They don't stab you in the hack, they usually don't care how fashionably you dress, and they just make good buddies. It's kind of like having a dog, except guys come pre-hoUsebroken, they smell nicer and they're easier to control.

Meeting this guy is probably the best thing yOu can do. Plan an evening out for the three of you. Go bowling, miniature golfing, to a cockfight, or whatever you choose. Just be sure you do something where you can talk with this guy and get a feel for him. Watch his behavior toward your gal. If it looks like something more than friendship is happening between those two, maybe you should hit the road while you can. • he Said:
