Woodard, freshman, died Sunday in an automobile accident on the Indian Nation Turnpike in Pittsburgh County in southeast Oklahoma. Woodard, 18, a funeral services major, was southbound on the turnpike at approximately 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, according to an Oklahoma Highway Patrol report. Her pickup hydroplaned on the rain-slicked pavement, went onto the center median and struck a storm drain. Woodard was partially ejected through the windshield and pinned under the vehicle. Woodard was pronounced dead at the scene from massive injuries. Woodard was not wearing a seat belt. The air bag in her pickup failed to deploy. "It's always tragic when someone young dies," said Todd Duncan, director of student life. "We are working with counselors to help students deal with this." Funeral services for Woodard will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday at Brown's Funeral Services in Woodard's hometown, Atoka, 4( Okla. -

CO Liberal Arts Representative Kenny Freeman resigned from UCOSA last week because of his frustration with House leadership. "I think we've created an excellent form of government in UCOSA and it will really help the student body...I simply don't agree with the leadership style and policies," Freeman said. "If I can't trust you, I can't follow you." UCOSA Speaker of the House Dale Archer, said he was unsure why Freeman resigned. "I don't know why he resigned. There have been personal conflicts between Mr. Freeman and I, but those will remain personal and not be made public," Archer said. Freeman had served in the UCOSA House of Representatives since January 1998. He said his resignation does not signal an end to his campus involvement. "I gave up my vote to increase

o newspaper can cover every event that occurs within its jurisdiction. Some people submit material for events that should be covered, and the newspaper tries to accommodate them. Some people want to hide from the press. We have been trying to cover as many events as possible on the UCO campus. The Vista cannot provide a reporter or photographer for everything— academic requirements and off-campus employment are factors our reporters must deal with, just as most other students on campus do. We are doing our best. Rudeness and abusive language directed at our staff and/or reporting students working for the campus newspaper are not the key to gaining coverage. We have also tried this semester to broaden our coverage and emulate the workings of a metro newspaper. This has been unpopular with many people on campus, most notably the student government. Once again, we are doing our best to operate as a voice for the entire UCO campus. We are not trying to ignore anyone, and we are not singling anyone out for persecution. We are looking for the news, and will continue to do so. 4

UCOSA not place for fitness center vote, says senator
A
s a Student Senator on this campus, I feel it is my duty and- obligation to do what I believe to be in the best interest of the Student Body as a whole and not just the organization that I represent in the Senate. Taking that into consideration, I am writing this letter in regards to the question of whether or not we should construct a new Fitness Center on our campus. As many students are aware, we [The Senate] are currently in the process of determining whether the Student Government will support the building of a new fitness center. When we make our final decision on November 9th, we will cast our votes and speak for all 14,000 students who currently attend UCO. As a Senator, I have concerns with the Student Senate voting on this question as opposed to having the Student Body vote. In this instance, it appears that the Administration is utilizing the Senate as a decision making body because of the almost guaranteed
response that will be given. Due to the manner in which the Senate appears to be operated and heavily weighted towards favoring certain bodies on campus, it is safer to ask us [The Senators] to vote rather than the student body. Unfortunately, most Senators do not actively seek out the opinions of their constituents when voting on important matters in the Senate. I, myself, belong to organizations whose Senators have yet to ask my opinion on any subject matter. Instead, they vote every Monday on issues based on their personal opinions and desires. In addition to this problem, some Senators do not vote according to the constituency due to the fact that the Senate meets weekly and their represented organization meet on a monthly basis. I ask you, do you honestly believe the majority of students are being represented in the Senate meetings? As a Senator, I would have to say no. Also, I question the motives behind the Administration's eagerness in building this
fitness center. In a recent Senate meeting, the President's Office Representative described the conditions of the music building as being "deplorable and detestable". Yet, for some unbeknownst reason, we are not considering increasing student's fees to build a muchneeded Fine Arts Center. Let's be honest. The only logical and fair manner in which the decision to support the building of a fitness center is to ask the students directly by manner of Student Body vote. If the Administration is seeking support from the students, then ask the students directly and quit trying to slide the question through the back door. If you, as a student, want to vote on this matter, let the Student Government Association (4th Floor-University Center) know your desire to vote. After all, as the Student Government Association, we are here for you—the student. Sincerely, —Michael Willis Senator V See LETTERS, Page 4

Wellness center would improve learning environment, says student
M
y name is Susan White. I am a recreation management major, attending UCO for my third year. The construction of a fitness/wellness center is imperative for this university to be competitive with other universities, as well as providing a better atmosphere for students already in attendance.
Traditional student recruitment is necessary for the progress of this university. A fitness/wellness center located on campus, and paid for by student activity fees will bring those types of students to UCO. These traditional students will also become involved in other campus organizations and strive to improve this school. Physical well-being
is conducive for a positive learning environment. With a fitness/wellness center located on campus and having a relative low cost, a greater convenience for health is provided. With a better physical condition, students' minds are more apt for learning. If this facility were built, I would consistently use it. The convenience and
lack of monthly charges would definitely encourage me, as well as many other students. I will have graduated by the time this facility is reality; but I value the benefits of a fitness/wellness center and would provide funding now to reap the rewards with later classes. —Susan White Junior, recreation management
degree program
Professor says fitness center lacks essential university mission agree with Amanda McGinnis (The Vista, 10/22); it is time to give a new fine arts facility the highest possible priority for new construction at UCO. While I would love to see a physical fitness center on campus, and would undoubtedly make use of it, I
/
do not see it as a high priority. Such a center would not involve teaching or the administering of degree programs, the essential mission of the university. In contrast, the faculty and students in music, theater, and art desperately need new facilities for these very purposes. The present facilities range from inadequate to
unhealthy. How we have managed to attract and hold so many outstanding faculty and students with our present facilities is truly remarkable. But this may not always be true. Look around. UCO is surrounded by colleges and universities with fine arts facilities that are either
relatively new or recently upgraded. This puts UCO at a disadvantage in recruiting both students and faculty. Funding for such a facility will not come easily or quickly. This does not mean, however, that no effort should be made. The faculty and students in the fine arts, with their many wonderful programs, serve the
larger metro community as well as the university community. They have been patient long enough and richly deserve to work in facilities at least commensurate with other departments at UCO. —Dr. Richard Peters Professor of History, Retired
Campus fitness center could decrease obese Americans, says student
p
resident Webb, "If you build it, I will come," and I'm sure many others will also when the Wellness Center is completed. I want a university that offers students, faculties, and the university
community opportunities to improve their health. This has continually been an area that has been neglected for many reasons. How often do we stop for a minute to observe anything we don't have time for because we are
We need this Wellness Center to always on the go! With Americans leading the world provide us with services that will with obesity and problems that result make us aware of our nutrition, from it, it's easy to see how this exercise programs tailored to our own Wellness Center can save money and V See LETTERS, Page 5 allow people to live healthier lives.

unique needs, and a facility equipped to serve various health related necessities. Why should we always sacrifice our health? It's time we made our health a priority! For the author who
complained about the music building requiring repairs and the allergens that seem to float inside, this may be helpful. There are many causes of allergic reactions and if you, or others suffering from allergies, undergo a skin test,
you may be surprised to find that other allergens are causing your allergic reactions. I, myself came from Massachusetts and developed allergic rhinitis here in Oklahoma. I was tested and
found to have seasonal allergies from ragweed and types of grasses. No, you should not have to leave UCO. Instead, get tested and then support building a Wellness Center that the students, faculty and
community residents will be proud of. So, President Webb, ;you have my support for building the Wellness Center! —Rich Gutierrez Music/psychology

Michael Howell, a freshman, psychology major asked "Why? That's what comes to mind. It is a necessary break, I don't see why, if we have to loose a week, why not during the summer?"

Deaf children enjoy Halloween on campus By Ann Purkeypile
studenwriter
A
huge tarantula hung from the ceiling, cobwebs were strewed over each wall, pumpkins and marshmallows dangled from curling ribbons, while children were "booing"— in sign language. The Delta Zeta Sorority hosted a Halloween party Wednesday afternoon for 11 deaf children. They are students of a pre-school here on campus, a satellite school for the Oklahoma School for the Deaf. The children come from as far as Fairview, Okla., 98 miles away, because this is the closest pre-school available for their special needs, said Melanie Coldren, pre-school instructor. Speaking of that politically incorrect word "deaf," Coldren said that some people are offended by the term "hearing impaired," because they don't
think of themselves as impaired, only deaf. Children at the pre-school learn English sign language, a word-for-word system that incorporates English grammar, rather than the American sign language which is signing by concept or meaning. One student, whose deaf parents still use the American sign language, is becoming bilingual, Coldren said. Delta Zeta members, none of whom are proficient in sign language, had little trouble communicating with their guests. The students' teacher and two graduate assistants relayed the messages along with that universal language—the smiling face. Delta Zeta members had several activities for the children, including having them remove one shoe and sock, step in white paint and then again on a black piece of construction paper, and creating ghosts from their
footprints. They also had the children make monster puppets out of brown lunch sacks, construction paper, and markers. Again, communication was not a problem since the students were quick to figure out what to do with the supplies. One Delta Zeta member, Karen Hartline, explained why they chose to do this service. "Our national philanthropy is Galludet University in Washington D.C. It is the only university for speech and hearing impaired. We send them a percent of each fund-raiser we have. Within the past two or three years, our money has helped build a dance studio and also helped with the general expenses at Galludet." Before the children left, Delta Zeta members handed out jack-olanterns full of candy and homemade cookies. And once again, little talking was necessary. Their smiles said it all.

UCO splashes their way to victory By James Gutzmer SportsWriter
R
ain,rain go away was the silent chant coming out of Weatherford during the UCO Southwestern Oklahoma State game Saturday afternoon. UCO defeated SWOSU 20-6 to stay undefeated and ranked number 1 in the nation. "I've been coaching for a long time, and I have never seen conditions that bad. It rained most the game, sometimes even a downpour. The field was already muddy from the last few days, so that didn't make it any better," Head Coach Gary Howard said. Despite the rain, the Bronchos managed 260 yards rushing. Running backs Reggie Donner and Ryan Logan teamed up for 150 and 151 yards respectively. Scott Condict and David Simpson came up with negative 41yards rushing. Logan went over 100 yards for the fourth time this season. Donner surpassed the 100yard mark for the sixth time this year. Donner's effort puts him over the 1000-yard mark on the season. He has accumulated 1090 yards this

year. The Bronchos' defense held the Bulldogs for 40 rushing yards in the game. UCO's defense picked up two
interceptions. One by Tony Thompson, and the other by Jonnie Jones. The Bronchos' defense was led by linebacker Brian Morton and free
safety Kelly Heathington. Morton had 12 tackles, five of which were for losses. Heathington had 11 tackles, two of which were for losses. UCO led 7-0 at the half, thanks to a 10-play 79-yard scoring drive on the Bronchos' opening possestion. A run of 29 yards by Logan and a 23yard run by Donner helped move the Bronchos down the field to the one-yard line. Donner blew through the line to score the only points of the first half. "Our guys played extremely well despite the conditions," Howard said. The two teams combined for seven turnovers, losing four of nine fumbles, all but one in the second-half downpour.

LET US HELP YOU PUT A LITTLE BOUNCE BACK IN YOUR STEP.
In the second half, UCO fumbled on seven-of-24 plays. A slippery snap that came out of Condict's hands set up the Bulldogs' only points in the game. Southwestern turned the ball over with worse consequences. The Bulldogs had back-to-back drops, leading to 13 Broncho points. The SWOSU punter dropped the ball on a deep snap, leaving the Bronchos on the Bulldog five-yard line. Two plays later, Donner scored on a four-yard run. SWOSU's next play from scrimmage resulted in a tipped ball to UCO's Thompson, who returned the ball 15 yards to set UCO up on the Bulldog 15. Two plays later, Logan took the ball around the left end for a 12-yard touchdown. Ronnie Gulikers extra point missed, leaving the Bronchos up 20-0. SWOSU's score in the fourth quarter rounded out the game. The Bronchos took home a soggy victory on a muddy, wet field, 20-6. "I was real happy to come away with the win in a game like that," Howard said. The Bronchos come home this week to play Southeastern Oklahoma State. -4(

he UCO soccer team ended its first season of play by splitting their last two games on the road. On Thursday, the Bronchos defeated Oklahoma Christian in a 2-0 game. The Bronchos' goals came from Jeorgia McGinty and Jamie Lane. McGinty's goal came in the first half of the game and blew past the last defender, said UCO soccer coach, Mike Cook. McGinty ended the season with 13 goals, 14 assists and 40 total points. Her 14 assists set the LSC record for the most assists in a single season.
Lane's goal came in the second half when her shot on the goal was deflected off one defender, Cook said. "Jeorgia is only a freshman and she is a great player with lots of potential," Cook said. The Bronchos then traveled to Tulsa to face NCAA Division I team Oral Roberts University. "We held them to 0-0 in the first half, and we had a couple of chances," Cook said The Bronchos ended the season with a record of 11-9. "We are disappointed in our conference play, but we did better then people expected of us in our first season," Cook said. The Bronchos ended the season with an LSC record of 4-4.

Outdated soldier prevails over enhanced technology in Kurt Russell's latest film By Julie Jordan
NOVEMBER 3, 1998
Foundation seeks excellent college faculty members to receive four $7,500 awards
Staff
p
reviews can be a major element that makes a viewer want to see a movie. And when I saw a preview for "Soldier," I was convinced that it would be a complete disaster. But even though this futuristic flick won't be nominated for any Academy Awards, it was an entertaining and likable film. Kurt Russell plays Todd, a soldier literally trained from birth to be a merciless killer. But as Todd enters his 40s he becomes obsolete, despite his years of experience in wars. Todd and his unit have been replaced with biologicallyenhanced soldiers made by Colonel Meekum (Jason Issacs.) In an attempt to prove "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," Todd's commander (Gary Busey) orders him to fight Caine (Jason Scott Lee.) Todd loses the battle, and presumed dead, is transported to ,R.the waste planet Arcadia. It is here that he struggles to fit in Nith a colony of people stranded

$7,500 award is available from The Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence (OFE) to four university or college educators who are judged to be superior in their field. Linda Temple, OFE director of development, said that anyone, including students may nominate an educator for the award. "Every university in Oklahoma has at least one faculty member who should be nominated for this award," said David Boren, OFE foundation chairman. No UCO educator has ever won the award. Temple would like to see that change, "There are excellent faculty members from all over Oklahoma. Hopefully, some faculty members from UCO will be nominated," Temple said. A panel, overseen by Justice Marian P. Opala of the Oklahoma Supreme Court, will judge all nominations and decide on the four winners. Winners will receive the money during a televised banquet held at the Cowboy Hall of Fame on May 15, 1999. Nomination forms can be obtained by writing to The Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, 120 N. Robinson, Suite 2618, Oklahoma City, Okla. 73102. Forms may also be obtained through the foundation's web site at: info @ofe.org. For more information contact Temple at 236-W06. -4 ,
