EDITORIAL Pills make abortion easier, no less wrong ow that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the ‘`morning-after" pill, having an abortion is undoubtedly more simple and more painless than ever. But no matter how quick the process becomes, the pang of guilt a woman feels after swallowing the pill will not be quickly removed.

And never will there be pills that effectively rid one's conscience. The procedure may have changed, but the fact remains: Abortion is murder no matter how innocent technology can make it seem.

Statistics show that a majority of abortions are performed as a means of birth control. That is sickening. Are we so callous that we'd sooner kill a baby than suffer the consequences of irresponsible pleasure? And are we so stupid to think we won't someday reap the consequences?

Every year, 1.3 to 1.4 million abortions are performed in the U.S. It is amazing how Americans, and college students especially, place so much emphasis on human rights and equality, and at the same time can justify taking away the

most basic right to live from the most innocent of all creation. If unborn babies could speak, surely they would plead for their lives.

In a recent poll conducted by Gallup, 58 percent of Americans said that abortion should be legal only under a few circumstances or that it should be illegal altogether. Still, 49 percent of Americans call themselves pro-choice, reasoning that it's not fair for mothers to have no choice in the matter. Clearly, who really has no choice in the matter is the baby.

The new abortion pill may be safe for mothers, but let's not forget that its purpose is to kill babies. College students should think twice about the consequences of their actions. Had it not been for mothers who cared enough to give birth despite at least a few unfavorable circumstances, none of us would be here today. •

Shotgun Willie on the road again; The 'red-headed stranger' plays in Guthrie

BY MENA GANESAN

Staff Writer

B

undled in layers of clothes and warm blankets, a mass audience braved the biting fall chill in anticipation of the performance of a living legend, Willie Nelson.

Few artists can boast that their fans would be willing to survive these extreme conditions just to get a little closer to a man that has "I would love created the songs they have known and loved to play in for the past 50 years.

Headlining the threeOklahoma day-long Oklahoma again. Maybe I International Bluegrass Festival Oct. 7 in will play at UCO Guthrie, the 67-year-old red headed stranger sometime." played his legendary music to a mystifyied —Willie Nelson audience.

Fighting off the bitter cold and dust bowl winds, hundreds of fans packed Squires Baseball Field to sing along with such country gems as, "Mommas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys," and "On The Road Again."

After the two-hour performance, hordes of Willie's fans congregated in front of his tour bus for another two hours in the frigid night lingering in line for an autograph, a picture, or just a kiss with country's favorite outlaw.

Willie Nelson

PHOTOS BY MENA GANESAN

Willie Nelson performed at the Oklahoma International Bluegrass Festival in Guthrie Oct. 7. Nelson was promoting his newest release, "Milk Cow Blues."

As the perfect Texas gentleman, Willie was obliged to give his fans a piece of his down-home hospitality.

When the crowd dissipated, Willie invited me in his tour bus to chat with him about his career while he indulged in a late-night dinner of some fried eggs and cinnamon-raisin toast.

The unnervingly sweet musician is anything but a pretentious superstar. He spoke to me in his familiar, conversational drawl that Willie fans have come to cherish in his timeless ballads.

"I love to play in Oklahoma. I used to play here every night 50 years ago with Bob Wills," said Nelson. "We had a wonderful time and the audience was great."

Nelson began his career at the ripe age of six in Abbott, Texas, when "Daddy" Nelson bought Willie a Stella guitar and taught him

music through mail-order catalogues.

His first songwriting success , came in August 1961 when Patsy Cline recorded Willie's "Crazy" and Faron Young followed with "Hello Walls." Both songs reached number one on the country music charts.

Nelson has been honored with several awards including the "Lifetime Achievement Award" presented by the National Academy of Popular Music, the "Living Legend Award" presented by the The Nashville Network (TNN), and the "Minnie Pearl Award" by TNN for a lifetime of achievement for extraordinary humanitarian and community commitment.

A Cherokee Indian, Willie was also named Indian of the Year in Anadarko by the Cherokee Nation.

"I was very honored. It was a big night, a good night," Nelson said.

He has also performed several different styles of music with a motley crew of wellknown musicians including The Rolling Stones, B.B. King, The Stray Cats, L7, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan and Phish.

"I've done everything from country to rock to blues," he said. "I love playing with anyone who will play with me."

Nelson's most recently released album "Milk Cow Blues" hit record stores Sept. 19.

The album is his first all-blues collaboration with such greats as Jimmy Vaughan, B.B. King, Jonny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.

"Milk Cow Blues" was one of the first songs Willie played when he started working beer joints and honky-tonks in Texas.

"I've been singing that song 'Milk Cow Blues', for 50 years," he said.

Nelson's newest collaboration teams him up with Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers and producer Don Was. "Well, I just released 'Milk Cow' so the reggae album will come out next year," he said.

Nelson also tentatively plans on pairing with his old bluegrass pal EmmyLou Harris for a webcasted Christmas Special this holiday season.

"We've been talking about doing a Christmas special with EmmyLou," he said.

Between Nelson's 200 to 250 performances a year and the time that he spends at his beloved Pedernales recording studio/golf course outside of Austin, Texas, he still gracefully accepted an invitation to possibly perform in Edmond.

"I would love to play in Oklahoma again," he said. "Maybe I will play at UCO sometime."

Who doesn't love Willie Nelson? Maybe a rare few who absolutely despise country and bluegrass music, but for the most part, Willie is a national treasure to most music fans. •

he UCO chapter of DECA, a marketing club, hosted the Fall Leadership Conference for Oklahoma high school student DECA members on Oct. 9.

UCO is the only university in Oklahoma that has a DECA chapter.

Members supervised the conference and represented UCO. Local business people in the Edmond area and UCO students were recruited to judge contests in the conference.

"We're still looking for volunteers to be judges," said Audrey Callaghan, DECA member.

On Nov. 6, UCO DECA will host a mini-conference for high school students to prepare them for state contests.

High school students attend workshops at the conferences, to develop personality traits and officer training.

DECA, which stands for distributive education is recommended but not required for marketing education students. It can be taken as a one-hour credit class based on attendance or as a campus organization.

LETTERS Campus cats need permanent homes; feces is dangerous

I

here sure are a lot of kind-hearted people on campus who feed the cats on a regular basis. I would like to suggest that they secure traps from animal control so that they can trap them and take them home or to another more appropriate location, such as Free to Live. If the concern is that they are wild, then it is even more crucial that they be eliminiated from this beautiful campus.

Professor admits to affair with student but no one believes him

BY BILLY O'KEEFE

Wire Reporter

A

ccording to the former College of William and Mary creative writing professor, he, like Clinton, had a glorious workplace affair with a young woman.

Also like Clinton, his affair has been made public, in this case through a prose confession in the October issue of GQ Magazine.

Here's the enviable part: No one believes the guy cheated. Not even his wife. And especially not the William and Mary community, which is less than thrilled with Kashner's representation of the college.

In "The Professor of Desire," Kashner writes of his descent into "a moral mosh pit" of beautiful, hungry young students hailing from carnivorous backgrounds and in search of a man they can trust—and eventually conquer.

"It doesn't take much for them to fall in love with you," writes Kashner. "As a professor of creative writing, you tend to get the dreamers, the romantics, the weirdos.

Spend twenty minutes talking about young Keats, show that drawing of the young poet on his deathbed in Rome, and it's shooting fish in a barrel.

Kashner goes into explicit detail about the Meyers, chairman of the English department behavior and mindset—or lack of—of his at William and Mary, contests that Kashner students, even offering supposedly verbatim never needed a trip to the campus doghouse— copies of written assignments that students until, perhaps, now. used to detail their epic adventures in, and Meyers says that when he spoke with eventual boredom with, sex.

And I think that if his love handles, and says that Kashner's denial devised methods of hiding was explicit and clear— Sam was really having an affair, his bald spot from students. and, perhaps more I probably would've heard What followed was a important, largely seven-month affair with a unnecessary in the first about it a lot sooner than now." college student that place. culminated with sex in her "This is a small town, dorm room—followed by it's a small college, and it's —Terry Meyers the revelation that she was chairman of the English a pretty gossipy town," says department at William and Mary a married woman. The Meyers. "And I think that student's husband, after if Sam was really having finding out about the affair, hanged himself in an affair, I probably would've heard about it a a shower on campus, leaving a suicide note lot sooner than now." that blamed Kashner for his death.'

That goes double, he says, for the After that incident, Kashner writes, he had husband's suicide, reports of which never become a "pariah" on campus. But Terry surfaced on campus, as well as the reaction of

Kashner's wife, fellow William and Mary professor Nancy Schoenberger.

"People are asking, 'How's Nancy? How's she taking this?"' Meyers says. "And the response usually is, 'She's not bothered, because she knows it's not true."'

The William and Mary community isn't quite so forgiving. An editorial in the Flat Hat, the school's student newspaper, blasted Kashner and said that he has "dragged the college's name through the mud."

"One would hope that Kashner would have had the respect not to misrepresent the entire campus in a national publication," read the editorial. "It is an unfortunate, yet irreparable, situation that the College's name is tainted by this distortion. Anyone coming to the College expecting Kashner's world will be sorely disappointed."

Meyers hopes that a resolution will soon come to pass and that Kashner, who left the college this year to write full time, will admit to his sins—or, in this case, a lack thereof.

"It's hard to convey what kind of person Sam is," says Meyers. "He's delightful, witty, wry, subtle. He's a fiction writer, and a good one at that. He lives in a world of fantasy.

"The long and short of it: Sam Kashner has written a work of fiction." •

Friends develop software that lets people, businesses share files

BY CHRIS FARNSWORTH

Wire Reporter

W

hile other people were using Napster to download pirated songs, Randy Saaf had a bigger idea for sharing files over the Internet.

Saaf, then a first-year student at the UCLA Law School, wondered why not use the same kind of software as Napster to transfer files for business, not just fun? He called his friend Octavio Herrera who'd just been accepted to business school and spun the idea to him.

Almost nine months later, Saaf's idea has turned into InterFriendly.net , a company started by six friends who are betting their careers on an idea called "peer-topeer networking," also known as P2P. They're not alone. Peer-to-peer networking is rapidly becoming the Next Big Thing in the tech world.

P2P networking uses software to create "virtual networks" across the Internet. Like Napster or Gnutella, the music services that enable people

to trade digital sound files 52, are in their 20s. online, P2P sends files They incubated their over the Web between idea at Saaf's alma mater, people who agree to share Harvey Mudd College in them.

home version of its software, and charge businesses a licensing fee for a program with more features. The company also plans to advertise on its site, www.interfriendly.net which will launch in October.

Napster has created an extraordinary demand for P2P services, said Stacey Herron, an industry research firm analyst.

"The pure popularity and controversy surrounding Napster only shows the desire for applications like this. ... Consumers really like the idea of sharing ideas with their friends," she said.

However, there's a problem with P2P: No one's made a dime from it yet, and Herron's not sure anyone ever will.

"I'm not sure how they're going to be a viable business and how they're going to make cash off of it," Herron said. "Look at Napster: Napster is insanely popular, and has millions and millions of users, and we're still not sure how they're going to make money and if they're a viable business." â&#x20AC;˘

Charges upgraded in students' death at Northern Illinois U.

BY J. LINN ALLEN

Wire Reporter

S

tudents at Northern Illinois University, already shocked at the death last month of a student hit with a cinder block during a late-night fracas, were stunned again Thursday upon hearing that another student was charged with first-degree murder in

the case.

DeKalb County State's Atty. Tim Johnson said Louis Carfagnini, 21, of Elmwood Park was indicted for murder on the grounds he knew his actions would cause death or great bodily harm, even though he didn't necessarily intend to kill anyone in particular.

The victim, 20-year-old Brian White, a senior majoring in

communications, died from being struck with a cinder block allegedly thrown from a third-floor fire escape in back of an off-campus residence house in the early hours of Sept. 15.

University spokeswoman Melanie Magara said a group of students were leaving the house when Carfagnini allegedly started throwing things, including the cinder block, in an attempt to stop them.

"It was a quiet game, really.

During a regular game, campus police will arrest five to 10 fans for a variety of offences, Boyton said.

PLEASED TO MEET ME

BY MICHAEL ROS <,

B-team takes the field

outine is something that has proven to be a constant with me, like it or not. Maybe it's a sort of predestination thing (or just conditioning), but certain things just seem to happen at certain times on a pretty regular basis.

Case in point: my Tuesday night used to be pretty set in stone. Every week I attended an executive meeting for an organization I was (and am still) in, with general meetings every other week. It was regular. It was understood. It was a routine.

Which is why it was such a surprise when I found myself rocking the very boat which I prided myself on having stabilized so.

Allow me to elaborate: on an afternoon not unlike any other afternoon, I was shooting the breeze with friends of mine in my hallway when a new flier on the bulletin board caught my eye. INTRAMURAL SOCCER, MEN'S AND WOMEN'S LEAGUES AVAILABLE, it read. My interest was piqued.

As a small child, I played soccer for several seasons. With this in mind, I proceeded to talk my friends into going in on a team with me.

The initial plan was to be the soccer version of professional wrestling, with our team being the UCO equivalent of Captain Lou Albano. However, we quickly scratched much of this idea when it was discovered that we were the only team set up by independent students, therefore making us the only option for guys who wanted to play but weren't in fraternities. The way we figured it, we probably were better off not trying to play in shirts and ties. About the most eccentric thing we ended up doing was inviting my parents

R

to provide oranges for half time.

After making phone calls to our players, the only thing left for us to do was take the field.

We hadn't practiced, hadn't prepped, and hadn't met roughly half of our team. With this in mind, I must say that it wasn't hard to pick out our team from ACACIAs. Yes, we looked a little ragtag out on the field, but a common bond was built out there in front of the dozen spectators. Fueled by the orange halves provided by my mom and guided by Fu, Justin, and Alan, a trio of experienced soccer players who became our de facto field generals, we started to shape up.

We played our hearts out on that uneven field north of the fire station over the weeks that followed. We bled, we fought, and we struggled for each and every point. Make no mistake, The B-Team, as we were dubbed, were a force to be reckoned with.

Granted, we lost every game, but we made the other guys work for their win.

After our last game, Robert, our nigh 7-foot tall defender who had never played soccer before in his life, left me with some words of wisdom.

"It was definitely a learning experience," he said. "And it was fun."

So for this week's column, I would like to send out a salute to Zhang, Special K, Derek, Tim, Zach, and the rest of the B-Team crew, a group of guys who taught me the importance of breaking routine every now and then.

Who am I kidding? Over the past few weeks, soccer has become my routine. Now what am I gonna do?

Tune in two weeks from now for more action, and adventure with Mike Ross! I kid you not, you wont want to miss this one!

Questions? Comments?

U. of Pittsburgh student charged with murder in stalking case ITTSBURGH (U-WIRE) — University of Pittsburgh senior Matthew Kaguyutan was arrested and charged with homicide Thursday for allegedly setting the blaze that killed senior Joseph Marcinek on Sept. 29.

According to city police, 23-year-old Kaguyutan set the fire because of his obsession with a woman living inside the apartment building at 409 N. Craig St., about a block

p

from Kaguyutan's 330 N. Craig St. residence.

Police said Kaguyutan dated the woman for several months, and that they believe he may have been stalking her since their breakup. As a result of the current homicide charges, police now believe Kaguyutan may have been involved in another fire at a different apartment his ex-girlfriend was living in a few months ago.

The fire Sept. 29 started in a sitting room

on the second floor, the same floor the woman occupied, just one floor below Marcinek's bedroom. Eight other people escaped without injury.

Pitt has declared Kaguyutan a "persona non grata," which bars him from any University property or facility for the time being, according to spokesman Ken Service.

Service said the measure was taken not as a presupposition of guilt, but rather "out of

concern for the rest of the students."

Depending on the outcome of his criminal charges, the University reserves the right to reinstate or expel Kaguyutan.

Service also said that Pitt's judicial board may investigate the case after the criminal system has finished.

Kaguyutan is being held without bail in the Allegheny County Jail pending the results of a coroner's report on Oct. 20. •
