Celebrating 100 Years
The Student Voice Since 1903 UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA

Film festival to host acclaimed film on HIV by Rick Russick Staff Writer Central will host the Second Annual Out-OK International Film Festival Nov. 6 through Nov. 8. The festival will showcase the internationally acclaimed film "The Gift" at Pegasus Theatre in the Liberal Arts Building at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 6. A discussion led by a fivemember panel will follow the film. At least one of the panel members is HIV positive. Dr. Kole Kleeman, associate professor of journalism and media studies, said that all of the films shown during the festival are internationally acclaimed and of high quality. He said that although most of the films will be steered toward gay and lesbians, some of the films will focus on heterosexuals as well.
"I believe the university is a place to expose students and the community to other cultures and lifestyles," Kleeman said. "Film is a perfect medium to do that." He said that years of research and advances in combating the disease have made people less sensitive to AIDS, and many do not think they will catch it. " The Gift' is an interesting film for students to see because unfortunately, people think AIDS is no longer a problem. They think all they have to do is take a pill and they'll be OK. Obviously, this is not the case," he said. The film is a documentary that focuses around the story of two gay men who share the desire to become HIV positive. Dr. Joan Luxenburg, professor of sociology and criminal justice, said that "the gift" is when someone, who is HIV infected, gives the disease or "the gift" to some-
one who wants the disease. Luxenburg said that in actuality, only a small number of mentally unbalanced people want "the gift." Other issues the film deals with are "bug chasing" and "barebacking." "Although bare-backing is a term commonly used among homosexuals, bug chasing is used primarily only in Internet chat rooms," she said. Luxenburg said that bug chasers are HIV negative people who want to become HIV positive. The bug juice is the HIVinfected semen. "Gift givers are HIV positive who are willing to infect bug chasers, all of which are contacting each other on the Internet," she said. "Bare-backing refers to unprotected anal sex with multiple partners." She said that people who are interested in acquiring the gift
usually do not openly tell others. Most of the time, she said bug chasers and gift givers will go to web sites that only cater to their interests. "Sometimes it's a turn-on to be able to tell someone on the Internet they are infected," Luxenburg said. When asked why someone would want to be given AIDS, she said that they are usually lonely and want to feel a part of something. "You have to understand that, first of all, those who want the gift are actually in the minority. Second, most of them are usually mentally unbalanced," she said. Luxenburg said that those who want the disease do not want to commit suicide, rather it is an issue of guilt. "They have a sense of survivor's guilt. `I've watched everyone around me die, so why haven't I died?' they may ask," she
said. "They watch friends . die around them and they wonder why they are still alive." Rather than being full-fledged bug chasers, these people may actually just wish to become converted from HIV negative to HIV positive, she said. "It is very difficult to understand why there is an erotic draw for one person to deposit an infected load into another," she said. John Doneti, who is a licensed psychological counselor, who has led support groups for HIV negative partners, will be on the panel along with Terry Dennison, director of educational services of Planned Parenthood of Central Oklahoma. Luxenburg, who has taught courses on HIV and AIDS issues, will also be on the panel. Kleeman, who teaches, Gay and Lesbians in Film and Media, will be moderating.
OktoberWest gives residents a moment to relax at fall's end by Rachael Tully Staff Writer The residents of the West Hall dorms celebrated the end of fall with a piogram called "Oktober West" Oct. 29. Ornamented with leaves and pumpkins, the West Hall lobby hosted a karoke concert, a root beer chugging contest and a German yodeling competition for 50 Central students. Stephanie Bowman, director of West Hall, said "Oktober West" was designed and carried out by all ten resident assistants (RAs). "The RAs were the creative force behind tonight," she said. "The program is for the residents to just have fun, hang out and relax," Bowman said. • Cory Greer, junior early childhood education major and RA, provided Halloween cookies and refreshments for the program. "Many students have had a stressful week," she said. "'Oktober West' is a time for everyone to have fun while celebrating the end of the season." Courtney French, sophomore corporate communication major, had three tests this week and said that the night helped relieve stress. "Tonight helped me not worry about what was due tomorrow,"

Residents Mindy Harmon, Lauren Fotenopulos, Stephanie Bowman, Shannon Fritts and Cory LynneGreer sing karaoke during West Hall's OktoberWest Oct. 29. she said. "It let me just have fun, let loose and not care about school." Students said the highlight of the evening was the karoke concert. Students filled the lobby of
West Hall with lyrics from Britney Spears, N'Sync, Sisquo, Christina Aguilaria and the Righteous Brothers. Mindy Harmon, elementary education major, said the funniest part of the night was when RA
Courtney French sang "Unchained Melody." "She made us all laugh," Harmon said. "Several girls started couple dancing to the song." Sara Ivon, senior public relations major and RA, said she
enjoyed the program. "`Oktober West' showed the unity of the women of west," Ivon said. To date, the West Hall RAs have put on 192 activities for the 450 residents, Bowman said.

Lecture to center on study tour by Neely Tucker Student Writer Central's College of Liberal Arts monthly lecture series will be presented by participants of the on-site study tour of New York City's broadcast and print media. "The Nov.4 presentation will briefly review the intent and makeup of the course; cover in detail the New York tour and encourage faculty to reach beyond the bounds of UCO and Oklahoma to introduce themselves and their students to broader horizons," said Jill Kelsey, Journalism Department Instructor/ Intern Coordinator. The open-to-the-public lecture will take place in the College of Liberal Arts Pegasus Theater, at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 4. Twelve students and 2 instructors participated in the 3-part study entitled "Old and New, New York City Study Tour." "The course was two weeks long, with one week studying the roots an evolution of print and broadcast journalism in New York City and one week in the Big Apple exploring current and emerging media," said Kelsey. The student's also toured newspaper sites and national landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and Fills Island, said Kelsey. "The study tour course was the fulfillment of a dream I've had to take a group of students to New York City to absorb the Big Apple's communication industry first hand," said Kelsey. Dr. T.H. Baughman, College of Liberal Arts Dean, initiated the lecture series to foster education within the community, showcase faculty expertise and provide students with the chance to relate to faculty members in a non-classroom setting.

Iraqi reconstruction debated by Sherrod Wall Staff Writer • Two UCO debaters argued two different viewpoints concerning U.S. involvement in the reconstruction of Iraq. James Davis, a 3rd year debater, advocated full U.S. withdrawal from Iraqi soil, while Justin Schuffert, a 2nd year debater, opposed his viewpoint, believing that the U.S. should remain in Iraq to coordinate its reconstruction. "It took me awhile to decide
what the best way to reconstruct Iraq was, and then it hit me, why should I advocate reconstruction at all?" Davis said. Davis supported his stance with three principals, first, the continuation of U.S. occupation in Iraq will cause more death and destruction, second, the motive behind the war and third, reconstruction is flawed and rejection of the continuation of colonization. "Even though there are benefits that may come from occupation,
they will all end and actually turn upon themselves and become more hatred, more terrorism, and more irresponsibility at the idea that the United States should control and dominate the world, as it tries to through activities such as Iraq," he said. Davis said the point of the war in Iraq is for big corporations and oil, thus moved from to his second principle. The motives. of the United States do not lie with the well being
of the Iraqi's and the reconstruction of their government, but to "show me the money", Davis said. The United Electric Radio and Machine Workers of America were quoted in his argument: "The administrations creation of regional free-trade zones is actually an indication that reconstruction is taking place to benefit America big business not Iraqi people." "Let there be no mistake

More hilarious hijinks courtesy of Cheney and the gang! If I watch the news, it's usually Jon Stewart on the Daily Show or Bill Mahr and his panel discussions. I'm serious. It's the same stuff, just a little added extra humor. More digestible. More agreeable. Now I'm not saying a person shouldn't know what's going on around the globe. It'd be silly to just ignore all the atrocities that go on in this twisted world. That's why we have sitcoms! After you're bombarded with plague, death, and famine, you've got shows like "Friends" and "Will and Grace" lined up. Yep. A living slice straight out of the pie of life. These things happen. If they don't happen in your life, you should change it
Heart of the American Dream with
Gavin
Jack Kerouac called them the "One Big Eye." Families across the country all staring into a box being fed the same information. Televisions are silly. We spend too much money to spend too much of our time sitting in front of them acquiring too much useless knowledge. "Constant over-stimulation numbs me. But I would not want it any other way." That's right. The nightly news feeds us so many stories and images of countless murders, rapes, robberies, drugs, war time drama and down trodden victims coping with sorry hands they've been dealt that it becomes too much. It starts to get hard determining where one vicious act ends and the other begins. One big string of violence after another. "It's so commonplace," the anchor people tell us, "it's a wonder it hasn't happened to you." Time to go out and buy the most high tech home security system on the market, complete with red laser beams, sonar transmitting devices, beeping buttons and esoteric lights glowing bright green so you forget all your fears of your home being breached because you're hypnotized by the flashing lights. Don't forget the bars for the windows and doors. Complete the set. I can't watch the news. Makes me depressed and I start to lose my trust in human decency and belief that good still exists. The news is like anything else. All the bad and evil and degenerate are pointed out and amplified under the camera lights while the good and true tiptoe down the street unnoticed. It makes me mad and I start pounding my fist on the coffee table and change it over to "the Simpson's," where good times abound and a great catch phrase is never far off. Hey...eat my shorts.
so they do. Like on MTV's "Cribs." The MTV camera crew goes to some well-off celebrity's 'crib' and you get a full tour of all the big rooms full of comforts and frills you will never get to experience...unless you watch. Basically saying, "Look at all these things you're missing out on because you're not rich. Ha ha! Look at this. I have my own movie theatre in my basement with reclining leather chairs. Not really because I need it. I just had all these reclining leather chairs sitting around and didn't know what to do with them." Or, if you prefer, there's also "Reality" television, where people do incredibly stupid things in order to receive incredibly large amounts of cash or some other grossly prestigious form of payment. I saw something on Ripley's Believe it or Not where this old guy from the South sat in a tub full of squirming, pissed-off rattlesnakes. "Wow," I thought. "This guy must be getting paid a ridiculous amount of cash to do something so, so...for lack of a better word...dumb." Then, come to find out, he did it all just to get his name in the Guiness Book of World Records. Brilliant! "Survivor." Man, that show isn't about surviving. It's group
politics and backstabbing. Screw that, that show is dull. If I want group politics and backstabbing I'll watch "K Street" on HBO. If you want a show called "Survivor," then give me the reins. My premise for a "Survivor" show would involve 7 people stranded on an island full of wild hogs and blood-thirsty prehistoric marsupials. The waters would be infested with Great White Sharks and ten-foot long octopi cruising the ocean floor. The only things the participants receive prior to the show are machetes, a canteen full of water and banana chips and raisins. That's all. The rest is up to them. The prize in the end is the most precious of all — life. You get to keep it. Yeah, think of how fun that show would be. It's week 6, and Bill's food rations are running low after a crazed wolverine stormed his camp with its white fangs gnashing and clamping. He decides to drape the skin of the bear he killed during week 2 over himself and raid Linda's little camp down by the beach, stealing that horde of bananas, coconuts and pig meat she's got stashed away. But on his way there, everything goes horribly wrong. Creeping through the jungle in his bear costume under the black cloak of night, Bill falls victim to a crude but effective trap placed by Sandy, another participant on the island. He falls six feet down to the bottom of the pit while up above, a little bell rings, alerting Sandy that one of her traps has acquired an occupant. No Vacancy. She runs to the pit and flings a quick spear into the side of the "bear," and it lets out an amazingly human-like scream of agony. Oh well...survival of the fittest. The show must go on. Sorry for all the graphic violence. I'm a product of my society...played too much Contra while growing up. Forgot to mention my show will be rated TV-MA and will only be run by HBO at two o' clock in the morning. Happy watching.

NEWS debate, from page 1 Saddam Hussein was a ruthless tyrant whose misrule will not be missed but let us not be fooled into thinking Hussein's misdeeds were reasons for the Americans being sent to war, not every dictator controls the worlds second largest oil reserve, but Saddam did, " Davis said. Davis transitioned to his third principle by saying: "I believe everyone in this audience tonight as the obligation to fight colonization, and western imperialism in all forms. The continued occupation of Iraq is the new form of colonization." "In fact we celebrate colonization every year on Oct. 12, they call it Columbus Day," he said. "I call it the day of colonization that we celebrate every year. Davis compares the U.S.'s occupation in Iraq to the U.S.'s eradication of Native American culture. He said that the federal government is utilizing the same tactics and beliefs when it comes to Iraq. "The federal government believes the use of the same tactics and beliefs, that might is right— when in doubt blow them up, or when in doubt, take them over," Davis said. "This is exactly happening to the Iraqi people and their lands today just he same way that the American indigenous people were removed off their lands and put on reservations," he said. He said that this mentality has led to complete eradication of many indigenous cultures of Iraq and the world. "There are possible potential benefits but we have to put them in the landscape in what those potential benefits would lead to, and I say that leads to colonization and western imperialism," Davis said. After Davis's argument there was a two-minute cross-examination period for his argument. "While I understand the different points that you have, I don't understand how we will go about
in the interim months, the critical months of Iraqi reconstruction, where people are dependant upon international agencies for food, dependant upon water, and medical supplies," Schuffert said. "Even if you are right, if there are benefits, I still would say that they would not outweigh the value of colonization that is taking place in the status quo," Davis said. Schuffert opened his argument by saying we have gotten too caught up in the debate of the justifications and the ideology behind the war in Iraq and have forgotten the truth. That truth is that the war did occur, and now the Iraqi people need aid. "There are too many things going on that are dependant upon international reconstruction," Schuffert said. Schuffert raised three main issues in his argument, food and water, security and moral responsibility. "I believe that there might be harms from the status quo, that there might be this colonization but the actions taken by the Bush administration are not one of an irresponsible action of withdrawal." Instead Schuffert suggests that the government honor pre-war oil contracts with Russia, China, and France, and decrease our iron fist approach to American diplomacy in the Middle East region. He says this should be accomplished not by withdrawing international presence but by encouraging it. "To reconstruct the basic social services that were destroyed during this act of colonization." "I will concede that bad things are happening right now, and that bad things will occur but the worst thing and the most irresponsible action would ever do is turn our backs and wipe our hands clean," he said. Schuffert also says a substantial increase in our democratic promotion aid must occur in order io insure a self-determinate population and a governing body in Iraq.
"During the war major food production sites were destroyed, the infrastructure to provide fresh water that Iraqi's are dependent upon everyday." Schuffert said that the damages are so significant the Iraqi's if left without support would not be able to handle the reconstruction of these social services by themselves. "An international presence would be able to reconstruct and provide social services quicker despite the fact that the Iraqi people might be able to do it by themselves," Schuffert said. "To withdraw now would be irresponsible, it would leave millions to starve, and die of thirst." he said. Schuffert raises the issue of Iraq's security, saying Iraq's borders could be threatened by Iran. "Iran has hinted that it can provoke mischief," he said. "Iran has a 900 mile border with Iraq and security in Iraq depends upon security on its border." Schuffert quoted from a political analyst close to the conservative establishment of Iran who said, "Whenever we decide to make Iraq insecure we can do that." Schuffert said that if the American Public were to grant President Bush the ability to withdraw moral responsibility for the reconstruction of Iraq it would give credence to the ability of the United States to go around the globe, to take over and destroy but not be forced to clean up. "We can expect him, as soon as the soldiers have come home to wash his hands clean of moral responsibility of the mess he has created, and also the duty to help pay for the countries reconstruction." If the U.N. were to take the U.S.'s place in the reconstruction of Iraq,lt would only give Bush more incentive to take his war to other Nations. "It's time for his opponents to stop seeking to rescue him from his self destruction," Schuffert said.

Cast members rehearse "Accidental Death of an Anarchist."
Theater students to take recent plays to competition by Kacy Hensley Student Writer The Central theatre department will perform three of its recent productions at The Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival on November 20 and 21 in Mitchell Hall Theatre. One of the plays, "Accidental Death of An Anarchist", written by Dario Fo, was directed by Central faculty member Dr. Donald Bristow, who said that everyone involved in the play has hopes to advance from the state level to the regional level. "Our plays have gone to the
regional level numerous times." Bristow said. Seven plays from the state level are chosen to go to the regional level. Bristow chose the play after seeing a London production in March. The play comments on issues such as government, society, and the media. Bristow added lines about the war in Iraq and other current events to add a more modern feel to the play. "Fo's plays are contemporary, they're for the moment." Bristow said. The theatre department will also be reviving last year's production of "Fences" for the cornpetition. "The Women's Project",
written by six Central senior women, will be performed in workshop format by at KCACTF. "Accidental Death of An Anarchist" will be performed for the competition on the evening of November 21. Other schools competing are Cameron University and Clovis Community College from New Mexico. Students and faculty participating in the event are eligible to be invited to participate in programs that involve awards such as grants, internships, and scholarships.
Troops from OK, TX among dead in helicopter attack FORT CARSON, Colo. (AP) _ Troops from bases in Colorado, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Texas were aboard two helicopters taking soldiers for R&R leave when one was shot down in Iraq on Sunday, a Fort Carson spokesman said. Fifteen soldiers were killed and 21 injured in the attack; the deadliest strike against U.S. forces since the war began. Lt. Col. Thomas Budzyna said some Fort Carson troops were among the injured but he didn't know the units or bases of the others injured or killed. The military does not confirm deaths of soldiers until their families have been notified. In addition to Fort Carson, some of the troops on the two helicopters, which were taking many of them from duty in Iraq for R&R leave, were from Fort Sill, Okla., Fort Campbell, Ky., and Fort Hood, Texas. "Many were looking forward to a break in the action," he Budzyna said. "Unfortunately, they faced something else." Fort Hood spokesman Cecil Green said he could not confirm any
details. A telephone call to Fort Sill spokeswoman Nancy Elliott was not immediately returned. Col. William Darley, spokesman for the U.S. military in Baghdad, said in an e-mail that the victims apparently were from an assortment of units and he understood some were from medical units. "When another soldier dies it's like losing a brother," Pvt. Eric Kragan told WSB-TV as he arrived at Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport to start his two-week R&R leave. "It's hard to be a soldier and hear about somebody dying," said Sgt. Michael Williams, also arriving in Atlanta. "Everything from day to day is a different experience, or a different change. From minute to minute you don't even know what to expect." Fort Carson has sent 12,000 troops to Iraq _ its largest deployment since World War II _ including units from the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team and battalions of the 10th Special Forces Group.
At least 21 soldiers from the post have died in Iraq, all since President Bush declared an end to major combat on May 1. Soldiers from Fort Carson have been coming back in small numbers for "rest and recuperation" leave, Budzyna said Sunday. A "Welcome Home" banner hung from one of the post's gates, but he couldn't say if any groups were due back this week Seeing those returned soldiers in their desert camouflage uniforms is difficult for people whose spouses haven't been granted leave, said Heather Harlan, whose husband is a 3rd Armored Cavalry cook stationed at Al Asad Air base and not scheduled for leave. "We're planning a Christmas party but we don't even know how many people will show up," Harlan said. She and her two young daughters plan to visit family in Cheyenne, Wyo., for Thanksgiving because she doesn't want to attend the unit's annual dinner without her husband. "I'm getting as far away from here as possible," she said.

Chicken fighting ban continually challenged TAHLEQUAH, Okla. (AP) _ Gary Gilliam has spent half his life caring for gamefowl and they've rewarded his efforts over the years, winning dozens of cockfights. But now he is in a fight of his own to keep the blood sport legal and continue a tradition tied to his father-in-law's breeding in the 1960s. Nearly a year ago, Oklahomans approved a ban on cockfighting by a 125,000-vote margin. But cockfighting supporters have blocked the law's enforcement with injunctions and temporary restraining orders in nearly 30 of the state's 77 counties. The legal wrangling has resulted in slower sales of Gilliam's birds and a federal law that bans breeders from shipping their birds across state lines has made things worse. "They're trying to take it all away from me," Gilliam told the Muskogee Phoenix & TimesDemocrat. "I've got to go for it. 'We're just going to go on like we were and raise roosters until they put me in jail. This is all I know." The 7,000-member Oklahoma Gamefowl Breeders Association has put up $800,000 to fight the new law, filing lawsuits in district courts all across the state. The ban violates their way of life, the gamefowl breeders say. "We just want to raise these chickens, test them and be left alone," said James Tally, president of the association. "We certainly don't want to be criminals." The group wanted the 011ahoma Supreme Court to withdraw its jurisdiction over the case but the state's high court refused to do so in September. Larry Oliver, an attorney for the cockfighters, filed a brief last Monday arguing the state court should step down. Attorney General Drew Edmondson asked the court to uphold the constitutionality of the ban, which cockfighters argue is vague and deprives people involved in the industry of their property. Because of the challenges, pits will reopen next week, a fact not lost on the group which worked to get the issue on a statewide ballot. The Oklahoma Coalition Against Cockfighting will continue working to get the law
enforced, chairwoman Janet Halliburton said. "I never thought it would've taken this long," Halliburton said. "I can't believe Oklahoma would entertain these delays for what passed by the popular vote." Halliburton said the sport is not only cruel to animals, but encourages gambling and criminal mischief. "It's not a good atmosphere. It also makes Oklahoma the laughingstock of the United States.'' Louisiana and New Mexico are the only states where cockfighting is legal. Some of Oklahoma's gamefowl breeders have moved there or have quit the sport. Gilliam says cockfighting is just misunderstood. "I don't know, nobody knows what the laws are," he said. "But I'm not moving. Everyone thinks we're heathens. We're just people."

Texas Tech professor's lawyers seek jurors angry at government By BETSY BLANEY Associated Press Writer LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Attorneys for the Texas Tech University professor accused of sparking a bioterrorism scare involving missing vials of plague bacteria will probably try to "push a Waco button" and seek jurors hostile to the government, jury selection experts say. Prosecutors, meanwhile, can be expected to pursue panelists who might resent Dr. Thomas C. Butler as a "hotshot, highly educated person who goes around and does something like this," one analyst said. Jury selection was set to begin Monday in the case of Butler, whose 69 felony charges include lying to federal agents about 30 vials of plague bacteria he reported stolen from his lab. Butler, who has pleaded innocent and said FBI agents tricked him into confessing to destroying the vials, faces life in prison and $17.1 million in fines if convicted.
A gag order prohibits attorneys from discussing the case, but analysts say the jury's makeup will be crucial. "There are many people, including psychologists and lawyers, who will say it's everything," said Maureen O'Connor, chairwoman of the psychology department at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. Prosecutors probably will look for jurors who are not well-educated or wealthy and who might see Butler, 62, as arrogant, said Candace McCoy, an associate professor of criminal justice at Rutgers University in Newark, N.J. They will "want people who are going to resent this guy, this hotshot, highly educated person who goes around and does something like this," she said. "You would want people from non-university areas who would look at this guy and say, 'Who the hell does he think he is?"' Defense attorneys will attempt to "push a Waco button," said Steven Penrod, a psychology professor at John Jay
College of Criminal Justice. He was referring to the 1993 raid on the Branch Davidian compound near Waco that left four lawmen dead and preceded the deaths of nearly 80 sect members. "The defense will seek jurors who are skeptical of the government, hostile toward the government and hostile to the FBI," Penrod said. "It should not be hard" in Texas. Butler himself has accused the government of wrongdoing. In an interview with "60 Minutes" taped hours before the gag order was issued, Butler said FBI agents tricked him into saying he had destroyed the vials'so they could calm the public's fears and close the case. Butler said agents told him he would not be charged. One former FBI special agent, however, said that's not how agents handle interviews. "They would not want to come with a false answer just to placate the public," said former FBI Associate Deputy Director Oliver "Buck" Revell. "You can use deception and guile in an
interrogation, but you can't make any promises about prosecution. They could not do that, and I doubt seriously that they did do that." Others have been critical of the government in the case. In August, the National Academy of Sciences protested to Attorney General John Ashcroft about the federal investigation and Butler's prosecution. Butler has been studying plague for more than 25 years and considered one of the world's foremost experts on the disease. "I am very concerned a huge deal is being made out of something that isn't so serious," said former student and 2003 chemistry Nobel Prize winner Peter Agre of Johns Hopkins University. "He is being treated like Al Capone was. (The charges are) way beyond what happened." The government has argued that Butler displayed a disregard for restrictions on how hazardous materials are handled. "An incident that could have
sparked widespread panic of a bioterrorism threat in West Texas was stopped clean in its tracks," U.S. Attorney Jane J. Boyle said in a statement in April. On Jan. 14, Butler reported the vials stolen. Within hours, dozens of federal agents swarmed to Lubbock and a frantic search for the vials ensued. It ended when Butler gave FBI agents a written statement in which he admitted a "misjudgment" in not telling his supervisor that the vials had been "accidentally destroyed," according to court records. Prosecutors allege Butler smuggled plague samples from Tanzania and illegally transported them. Other charges include lying to FBI agents, theft, embezzlement and fraud. Butler is free on bond and on paid leave from Tech, where he is chief of the infectious diseases division of the department of internal medicine at the university's health sciences center. Mediation hearings have begun as part of the university's process to dismiss him.

Bronchos lose first game of year to Southeastern Okla. by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor The UCO football team sufferred their first loss of the season 43-26 to Southeastern Oklahoma on Saturday, Nov. 1. The Bronchos took the early 3-0 lead after a 13-play, 60-yard drive led to a 37-yard field goal by A.J. Haglund. The Savages came right back with a scoring drive of their own capped off by a Tere'l King 10-yard touchdown run. The big play of the drive was a 44-yard catch by Romar Crenshaw that got the ball down to the UCO 23. After a UCO punt, Crenshaw made another big play with a 57yard run to again get SOSU deep into Broncho territory. The Savage drive stalled forcing a John White 35- yard field goal to give SOSU the 10-3 lead at the end of one quarter. The Bronchos responded with a 13-play, 70-yard drive
deep into Savage territory ended in another Haglund field goal from 27 yards out. SOSU came back with a field goal of their own to regain a seven-point advantage. After UCO turned the ball over, SOSU's Drew Beard took advantage with a 34-yard run for a touchdown to give the Savages a 14-point lead. Following another UCO turnover deep in their own territory, Beard again capitalized with a 10-yard touchdown gallop to finish the first half with a 27-6 Savage lead. SOSU opened the second half with a 9-play, 58-yard drive finished off by a 3-yard touchdown run by King to give the Savages an 34-6 lead early in the third quarter. The Bronchos came right back with a 6-play, 45-yard drive to cut into the lead with an 11yard touchdown run by Jarrod Manoy. The Savages answered on
their next drive when Beard hit Crenshaw for a 53-yard touchdown connection to give SOSU a 40-13 advantage. UCO was driving on their next possession until an interception by the Savages' Craig Young, which he returned deep into Broncho territory. The Bronchos began to rally in the fourth thanks to a 13-yard touchdown run by Manoy and 21-yard touchdown catch by Dee Dee Carter. But the Bronchos could not overcome their four turnovers as they ran out of time to come back falling to the Savages, 42-26. Carter had a terrific game with six receptions for 115 yards and the touchdown. Erick Johnson was solid with 262 yards passing on 17 completions. The loss dropped the Bronchos to 7-1 overall and 5-1 in the Lone Star conference. UCO hosts Northeastern State on Saturday at Wantland Stadium.

Bronchos finish season second in Lone Star Conference by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer The Central Oklahoma soccer finished second in the Lone Star Conference after concluding its regular season with two road games over the weekend. The Bronchos led the LSC for most of the regular season but lost their chance at a second straight conference championship suffering a devastating defeat in Canyon, Texas on Halloween to conference rival West Texas A&M 2-0. The loss by UCO clinched the LSC title for Texas A&M-
Commerce (7-1-1 in the LSC). Both TAMU-C and UCO will get a bye the first week of the sixteam LSC Tournament that starts Friday in Wichita Falls, Texas. Central won't see action in the tournament until the semifinal the second day of the tournament Saturday' when they play the winner of the Northeastern State-West Texas A&M game. The Bronchos were able to clinch their second place conference finish when they rolled over Eastern New Mexico Sunday 6-0 in their final game of the regular
.
season. April Bohannan was the star in her first start of the year scoring the game's first goal in the thirteenth minute on a penalty kick. Bohannan also had two assists helping Correy Cabrera score in the twenty-first minute and Audri Habibi score the game's final goal in the eighty-seventh minute. UCO's Joy Hagemann, Melissa Terry, and Anna Snedeker also had goals to round out the scoring in the big win.
