recent study by the online job listing company Jobtrak.com reveals that 52 percent of college graduates expect to be millionaires by the age of 40. More than 2,000 college students and recent graduates responded to the question, "How old will you be when you make your first million?" Twenty-five percent of the respondents anticipate making their first million by the age of 30, 27 percent between the ages of 30 and 40 and 13 percent between the ages of 40 and 50. Six percent don't expect be millionaires until they are over the age of 50. "Considering the income of college graduates in the first 5 years after college, I doubt that it is realistic expectation," said Jessica Reed, UCO sophomore. Twenty-nine percent of the Jobtrak respondents never expect to be millionaires. "I don't think it is as easy as

people think to make a million dollars," said Shauna Farber, UCO junior. However, student perceptions of their future income are changing. "With the American economy being bolstered by the e-commerce wave and game shows giving it away, being a 'millionaire' is a much more obtainable goal than it was 15 years ago," said Carolyn Ford, campus recruiter at Deloitte Consulting. "In the past, the main way for people to make a lot of money was to pick the right stocks and have cash to invest in them. Now-a-days you just need to pick the right company, start-up or technology and invest your time and effort in order to have a chance at the big money." Some students are more optimistic than others about their future income goals. "Hopefully I will have my first my million by the time I am 30," said Erin Miller, UCO sophomore. ♦

he faint sound of PCs humming, the smell of freshly-brewed java, and the gentle click-clack of keyboards has begun its siren call. "Wax up those mousepads and start your paddling, UC patrons!" it seems to say. "Time to catch a wave!" Surf is up- just don't expect to hear The Venturas blasting through "Theme from Hawaii 5-0" in the background. That's right: the Lakeside Cyber Cafe, located across from the food court in the University Center, is now open for business. The cafe offers up freshlybrewed beverages and better surfing than Del Mar or La Jolla could ever hope for. Need your morning caffeine fix? You can have a fresh cup of joe while watching Matt Lauer and Katie Couric on the big screen TV. Don't think that the new cafe was dubbed a "cyber cafe" dubiously, either-

there are several computer terminals, allowing patrons to follow up their coffee by pretending to do homework (don't worry, Vista staffers are probably reading The Onion right next to you). You don't even need to bring your long board. Overstuffed sofas, classy artwork, and mood lighting are also provided for student enjoyment, creating an environment more akin to a hipster hangout than a cafeteria. A definite high-five is due to the Kahounas administration for completing the cafe and providing the UC with a less institutional, more relaxed place for students to congregate between classes. As for students, don't be surprised if your fellow classmates start seeming wired in more ways than one. Just don't let them get away with yelling "Hang ten, Moondoggie!" in the food court. •

X-files creator celebrates success of popular sci-fi show BY LUAINE LEE

Wire Reporter

ASADENA, CA— The creator of "The X-Files" always likes to shake things up a bit. Chris Carter, who will be helming the sci-fi thriller for one more year on Fox, says he doesn't mind that the show is changing. "Everyone's afraid of change. Everyone says, 'That's what made the show work, and that's what's great about the show.' I think, really, Mulder and Scully are the reason. - David (Duchovny) and Gillian (Anderson) are the reason for the show's great success. But that doesn't mean that you can't threaten the paradigm, you can't threaten the model, you can't threaten the relationship."

Ethnicity, income level reflected by enrollment survey BY ANDREW BROWNSTEIN

The Chronicle of Higher Education report released today casts doubt about whether the decline in male college enrollments is a widespread problem. The report says the trend is limited to lowincome and minority students, and is nothing new. The report, by Jacqueline King, director of the Center for Policy Analysis at the American Council on Education, in Washington, calls upon educators and political leaders to "concentrate our time, resources and attention on the students who are in the greatest danger of being left behind in the educational pipeline and to avoid becoming distracted by 'crises' that may have little basis in fact." But one prominent researcher, who sounded the alarm on the crisis in male enrollment several years ago, disagrees with Ms. King's conclusion and remains convinced that the problem crosses racial, economic, and institutional lines. Like many scholars, Ms. King was initially skeptical about the decline. "On an instinctual level, it just didn't jibe with my experience," she said. The report, the first by the center, examines how race, age, and income level

one who first asked, "Where are the guys?" five years ago, he doesn't believe the issue is a fantasy. He notes that the statistics for men and women attending college are almost exactly the reverse of what they were 30 years ago. "If it was a problem for women 30 years ago-and it was-why isn't it a problem for men today?" he asked. He believes the answer is ideologically driven. "Feminism has dominated the politically correct agenda for the past 30 years," he said. "The idea of women as disadvantaged in higher education was once true, but not for the past 20 years." "From that time on," Mr. Mortensen said, "starting with American Indians, on to Hispanics, then whites, then Asians, females have taken over in every other ethnic group." He does not disagree with Ms. King that income and race are "bigger problems." But he suggests that a series of trends-including divorce rates, the increasing number of single mothers, and the large proportion of female teachers in elementary sctools-are contributing to a negative outlook for boys. "We understand these issues of the past," Mr. Mortensen said. "But the gender issue is new, and we're just beginning to come to grips with it." ♦

affect the gender gap in high-school go beyond the overall numbers for men and graduation rates, college-preparation levels, women. "It hasn't been as clearly focused as it college enrollments, and bachelor's degrees should have been," she said. "Looking at men and women from a monolithic perspective is earned. In all areas, she found the song remains not helpful." She suggested that the massacre at the same: Income and race far outweigh gender as determining factors in who enters Columbine High School and the subsequent parental outcry about the and graduates from college. culture of young men added It is a theme the council has fuel to the debate. sounded for years in annual "From that time on, starting The issue is unlikely to reports on the status of die anytime soon.

Tin Drum to be shown By BETH HULL

Student Writer

he Modern Languages Department will show an Academy Award-winning film this month that once sparked an obscenity ruling and questions about censorship. The German film, The Tin Drum will be shown at 2 p.m. Nov. 17 in the Liberal Arts Building. The film will conclude the international film series sponsored by the Modern Languages Department. The film, which won both the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival and an Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 1979, is based on a Nobel Prize-winning novel of the same name by Gunter Grass. In June of 1997, the group Oklahomans for Children and Families (OCAF) pushed to ban the film because of scenes they claimed showed minor children engaging in sexual acts. Oklahoma County District Court Judge Richard Freeman ruled it obscene under Oklahoma child pornography laws, and police seized copies of the film from metro libraries, video stores and homes the same day as the ruling. U.S. District Judge Ralph

Thompson later overturned the obscenity ruling and ordered confiscated copies of the film be returned to their owners, citing state laws that protect bona fide works of art. The subtitled German film is about a young boy, Oskar Matzerath, who grows disgusted with the behavior and hypocrisy of adults. Oskar decides on his third birthday not to grow any more, electing instead to beat on his tin drum. According to Dr. Rudy Nollert, head of the Modern Languages Department, the 3-hour movie is an allegory of German political and economic hardships before and during the reign of the Nazi party and World War II. "It could represent that the German people sought refuge in a political childish innocence, but I think it's more about trying to deal with fear," Nollert said. "Germans and most people in the world deal with war differently that Americans. They experience it as a real loss firsthand, and in America we have an hard time understanding what that means." The Tin Drum is being shown as part of department curriculum, but any students or faculty are welcome to attend. â&#x2122;Ś

torytellers from across the nation will share their talents and raise awareness for their craft when storytelling group The Territory Tellers sponsors "Tellabration!" Nov. 18 at 8 p.m. on the campus of Oklahoma City Community College. The event, which will be held in the OCCC Student Union, will feature several storytellers whose specialties range from tall tales and cultural stories to anecdotes about their families and personal experiences. According to Marilyn Hudson, Ralph Ellison librarian and producer of the Oklahoma City event,

storytelling clubs and volunteers around the world sponsor "Tellabration!" events in their own cities to promote the art of live storytelling. Although children are welcome, Hudson said the event is primarily adult-oriented. "With the types of stories that the tellers present come some "nuances that generally only adults would appreciate," Hudson said. Tickets are $5 and those who attend are asked to bring a pair of new or used children's gloves for distribution by local schools and charities. Attendees may meet the storytellers in a reception afterward. For tickets or more information, call Marilyn Hudson at 321-4451. â&#x2122;Ś

Student pot use rises FROM WIRE REPORTS

arijuana use among college students nationwide increased nearly 22 percent from 1993 to 1999, according to a report by Harvard University's School of Public Health. The report also states that use of other illicit drugs saw a similar increase in the same period. "It's kind of surprising to see an increase because there is so much awareness and education of drug and alcohol abuse," said Mi,sha Mowdy, health educator at the UCO Student Health Center. Researchers at the public health school analyzed student drug use by using information from the school's College Alcohol Study. The study, which was conducted in 1993, 1997 and 1999 examined more than 14,000 students randomly selected from 1119 four-year colleges in 40 states and the District of Columbia. "A lot of alcohol studies show that people will consume more alcohol by the age of 23 than in the rest of their life because of the risk taking mindset of that age group," said Mowdy. The number of students who reported having used marijuana within 30 days of participating in the survey rose from 12.9 percent in 1993 to 15.7 percent in 1999. Students who reported using marijuana in a one-year period, climbed to 26.4 percent from 24

percent. The most significant increases occurred between 1993 and 1997, the report states, with minor increases between the second and third survey. The use of illicit drugs other than marijuana rose nearly 21 percent among college students from 1993 to 1999. Such drugs include amphetamines, barbiturates, cocaine, hallucinogens, heroin, opiates or tranquilizers. Researchers say the increase in marijuana use among college students could be the result of increased drug use reported among adolescents in the early 1990s, as found in a 1999 University of Michigan Study. "The increase parallels an earlier increase reported by the `Monitoring the Future' study, and it may reflect these students' enrolling in college," said Henry Wechsler, the director of the alcohol study. "If that's the case, this is quite different than the drug epidemic in the late 1960s and the early 1970s, where the drug use seemed to start in college and trickle down to younger students. In this case, younger students seem to have brought it into college as they got older." The report will be published in the November issue of Addiction and will eventually be available for purchase on the journal's website. ♦

As a politically riveting television drama Waiting for the votes to be counted has unfolded, state by state, it turned out that the been anathema to modern-day election networks didn't know as much as they coverage, as television and newspapers have thought about the heart of their election spent millions of dollars on polling and exit -light coverage: exit polling data. polling, all with the seeming intent of letting Shortly before 9 p.m., just as the electoral Americans know the outcome before momentum seemed to be building for bedtime.

Two hours after being placed in Gore read on an election that poll after poll said column, the state was declared too close to was too close to call. Several news call. Suddenly the electoral vote balance organizations said Internet records were tilted to Bush. broken as millions of Americans logged on to "We just don't trust the information we're look up results and get other information that getting out of Florida," said CNN's Judy wasn't being reported on television.

CNN was getting 10 million CNN Web page visits every hour. MSNBC projected page views of 5 million for the day. An earlyafternoon report from the online Drudge Report was headlined "EARLY EXIT POLLS SHOW CLEAR WINNER!" The story focused on exit poll results from Waltham, Mass., and West Hollywood, Calif. Yahoo! said the bulk of its visitors came for election returns. The significance of the Internet as an information source was due in large part to the proliferation of computers. But the drama of the day was reserved for television, which offered an unusual and compelling display of reality television. Like in a football game, the score shifted as the electoral count moved west across the country. Bush gained the early lead. When Gore was declared the winner in Florida, 1996 Republican nominee Bob Dole said, "This certainly makes it tough." As the uncertainty over the fate of Pennsylvania's electoral votes continued, NBC's Tim Russert was reduced to using a magic marker on a vinyl board to explain to viewers how Vice President Al Gore could win the election without winning Pennsylvania. Within minutes it became a moot point as the state was declared for Gore.

BMG drops music lawsuit, joins forces with Napster BY MATTHEW MCGUIRE

Wire Reporter

n a move that could temporarily save the Internet file sharing web site Napster, Bertelsmann said it will team up with Napster to form a membershipbased site that will dole out royalties to music rights holders. Once the new site is up and running, Bertelsmann's music subsidiary BMG will in tufn drop its lawsuit against Napster and make its music catalog available through the Internet site. This recent development will be the largest step the music industry has taken to embrace the new file sharing software that has spread like wild fire throughout the Internet. However, Napster is no longer the main music swapping Internet site. Other sites such as Gnuetella, Hotline, JungleMonkey and FreeNet have increased in popularity and use technology that allows users to swap files without a centralized network. With no centralized network, the recording industry may find it

hard, if not impossible, to shut down the music swapping technology. Bertelsmann and Napster announced the deal Tuesday, Oct. 31, and also included plans to seek support and membership from other four major recording companies, Sony, Universal, Warner and EMI. The other record companies have made no announcements. Under the deal, Bertelsmann will loan Napster the money to develop the new service and retain rights to purchase a portion of Napster's equity. Napster's legal woes aren't completely over, however. The company is still caught up in court over the Recording Industry of America's December 1999 lawsuit, which alleges copyright infringement. In July, a federal judge ordered the company to remove all copyrighted material from its network until the outcome of the pending trial. And less than a day later, a U.S. District Court Of Appeals granted a temporary stay of an injunction that would have shut Napster clown. ♦

Jobtrak.com offers job advice PHONE INTERVIEWS Q. I have a telephone interview coming up and I have a concern. Is it appropriate to ask the interviewer if I can contact them instead of them contacting me? I live with a lot of people and the living situation isn't that great, how should I tell that to the interviewer? A. That depends on the employer. Some employers don't like to be rushed; on the other hand, I wouldn't jeopardize the job because you're afraid to ask. I would suggest explaining the situation to the employer in a professional, appropriate manner, e.g. "My roommates aren't always the most reliable at passing on messages. Would it be OK if I call you back in about a week?" Be prepared for them to be less than cooperative, however, and try tackling your living problems instead. Why do you feel your roommates might hinder your chances of getting a job? It might be time to explain firmly to your roommates that this job prospect is important to you, and ask that they do you the courtesy of taking down accurate messages and being polite to callers. If all else fails, consider getting a phone option with your own extension, or even your own phone line. Good luck! Gwendolen Blackburn-Gray

Experiment to uncover Manhood Secrets underway

hat makes a man? Is it the woman he holds in his arms? Is it the way he fights every day? Is it that elusive thing we call "style"? Is it the legacy he leaves behind? In browsing through a bookstore recently, I came across a text that defines manliness, a book that instantly earned a place on my required reading list, sandwiched between the Boy Scouts of America handbook and my Worst Case Scenario book. It's that good. I purchased Bill Zhane's The Way You Wear Your Hat: Sinatra and the Lost Art of Living and instantly began absorbing it. Francis Albert Sinatra once said that he wanted to teach the younger generations, that he'd learned too many things the hard way and would hate for other guys to have to learn the same things that way. Through this book, I think he may be doing what he wished in death as well as in life. Picture Sinatra as a blue specter along the lines of Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Empire Strikes Back, and you've got a pretty good idea of what this reads like. Essentially, Zhane presented The Chairman of the Board with a list of questions (prior to his death, of course), which Sinatra responded to (again, prior to his death). He couples these responses with tales of the Rat Pack in their swingin', singin', ring-a-ding-dingin' heyday, creating a virtual instruction manual for cool. I finished the book and immediately began plotting

out my course, intending to secure myself a seat on the same board Sinatra chaired. How does an average Hary like myself get outta squaresville and start making things happen? In my newly-minted hipster form, I began trying to walk, talk, and act with the same swagger as The Chairman might have. I began addressing folks as "Charleys," saying "ring-ading-ding," and so forth. What good did this do me? I don't know. The experiment is kind of an ongoing thing. I don't know if it's going to workcan a Rat Pack revivalist survive in the post-swing revival, amid a resurgence of teenybopper chirping and would-be grunge rockers who think they're Stone Temple Pilots (including Stone Temple Pilots)?

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts worth the wait, customers say BY DEVONA WELLS

Wire Reporter

t was 1:30 a.m. and a doughnut sounded pretty good to Ed Hayes. He finished closing Riley's Tavern, grabbed a friend and headed to Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. More than three hours later, the two sat listening to Pebbles and Bobby Brown and sipping coffee and ice water brought to them by the doughnut shop crew. Hayes and Scott Lewis held the first spot in the drive-thru line and waited without dozing for the speaker to crackle on and signal the opening of the Central Valley's first Krispy Kreme. They recorded their accomplishment on digital camera, even shooting a picture of a California Highway Patrol unit that pulled onto the shoulder of Stockdale Highway before the store opened to pick up three dozen doughnuts. Behind Hayes and Lewis, 20 cars sat in the pre-dawn chill, a line that would grow dozens long before the restaurant's red neon sign flickered on and spelled out the chain's trademark: Hot Doughnuts Now. Hayes said he hadn't planned to sacrifice a night's sleep for a box of doughnuts, but he liked being part of the hype.

"I don't usually eat doughnuts. I'm more of a bagel guy," he said. The restaurant opened at 5:30 a.m. Workers cheered as the first customers ambled in single file. First up was 69-year-old Wade Griffin, who had staked his spot outside at midnight. He was given a cup of hot chocolate and a doughnut upon arrival. Still, he stood hooked to an oxygen tank on wheels and waited to place his order. "I've been eating these doughnuts ever since they've been in business," said Griffin, who grew up in Winston-Salem, N.C., where the company is headquartered. Wade said it had been close to eight years since he'd eaten a Krispy Kreme. "I told all my friends I'd be the first one in line." He left with three dozen in each hand. More than 150 people stood behind Griffin, wrapped in jackets and sweatshirts, some wearing pajamas, and the line continued growing through the morning. By 8:30 a.m., more than 20 cars waited in the drive-thru lane and customers streamed out the door. The chain has inspired a coastto-coast following, first bringing its secret-recipe doughnuts to Southern California last year after beginning

There were about 50 of the store's 160 workers on hand Tuesday morning. Another nine people directed traffic in the parking lot. Also, an opening team consisting of workers from other stores was on hand and will stay a couple of weeks. By 3 p.m., the store had served 2,000 customers, Stewart said. All but a few customers Tuesday morning took their doughnuts to go. Celia Guerra got her dozen doughnuts close to 6 a.m. and paused at a table to try one. It was a little much, she said. "To me, they're kind of sweet. I'll give them away to my neighbors," she said. Travis Allen, also a Krispy Kreme first-timer, sat with his box of glazed and a glass of chocolate milk. Already, he'd eaten four of the doughnuts and said it's quite likely he could finish the rest. "I'm debating whether I should save some and bring them home to my sisters," he said. Krispy Kreme's glazed doughnuts cost 70 cents each or $4.99 per dozen, general manager Stewart said. A mixed dozen costs $5.49. ♦
