W

hen the advertising gurus at Pepsi first used their ever-popular slogan, "Be young. Have fun.

Drink Pepsi," they were on the right track.

Maybe if they had survived last year's fall semester at UCO they would have added, "Enjoy your Fall Break."

Last year, as students across the state were taking a few days to re-group for the rest of the semester, we Bronchos were hard at work studying for the mid-terms we were also no longer supposed to have.

Those of us who survived to Thanksgiving and then Christmas Break breathed one huge collective sigh of relief this year as UCO administrators decided to end the failed no-break experiment after just one shot and put that ever-important two-day hiatus back on the calendar.

The question now is one we are happy to ponder. What are we going to do with it?

What will we do with two days without classes and tests? What will do during all that time when our professors would

What will we make of the two days we have fought so hard to regain?

For most of us, the answer is simple: as little as possible.

Take long naps in the middle of the day.

Pull an all-nighter that doesn't involve notes from chemistry class, and then sleep until all hours of the afternoon.

Eat Doritos for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and have a Snickers for a midnight snack. Spend Thursday and Friday hiding out in your dorm room, and then join your friends in your craziest bronze and blue duds for the UCO football game on Saturday.

Or better yet, grab the hand of that co-ed you have been sitting next to all semester and run out to a party, club or movie. At least ask; it can't hurt.

The point is, do whatever makes you feel like you are your own boss — because you are. And take a break. You deserve it. •

Murdaugh basement scary, residents say

BY SARAH DAVIS

Staff Writer

I

f you're low on cash this Halloween season but still want to visit a haunted house, try exploring the bottom floor of Murdaugh Hall.

To get to the dorm's only laundry room, residents must walk down an unlit hall.

"It's desolate, dark, damp and nasty. I've heard people call it murder hall," said Brooke Bennett, Murdaugh resident.

According to Todd Duncan, director of residence life, the hallway should be lit and there may be a switch that gets turned off when people go down to use the laundry room.

Besides the laundry room, the basement has a kitchen and lounge area. It is filled with open rooms, many once used as the UCO cafeteria in the 1960s, before Central Cafeteria was built.

After being used as a cafeteria, the basement was used as a work room and storage room. The action was ruled a fire hazard, so now the basement sits empty and run-down.

"I don't come down here by myself," said Denise Lively, Murdaugh resident. "The walk is scary, so I especially never come down here at night."

The basement is not presently used for any specific purpose.

"The basement leaks when it rains and can't be utilized when there's ground water. Ceiling work also needs to be done. That's why it's empty now," Duncan said.

Unsecured doors and rooms were found in the basement by Vista staff members.

October 2 • DPS and the EFD responded to a trash can fire in a bathroom on the third floor of West Hall. The fire was extinguished and will be investigated further.

October 3 • A victim reported losing his checkbook in the Wantland Stadium area.

October 4 • DPS responded to The Commons on a possible alcohol violation. They made contact with several subjects who were in possession of beer. The beer was disposed of and some of the subjects were escorted off campus.

October 5 • DPS responded to a fire alarm in the Max Chambers Library. It was determined to be a malfunction with a smoke alarm.

October 6 • A victim reported losing her purse in the Wantland Stadium area.

A lone chair sits at the edge of a creeping puddle in the basement of Murdaugh Hall. The basement will not be renovated due to the estimated $1 to $1.5 million price for construction.

"The doors aren't public access and they need to be secured. We'll see to get that taken care of," said David' Stapleton, Director of Architectural and Engineering Services.

The basement's future will not

be eventful.

"There is nothing planned for the basement. We've looked at it and it would take anywhere from a million to a million and a half dollars to renovate it," Stapleton said. •

• No incidents reported.

October 8 • DPS and the EFD responded to a fire alarm in the West Hall.

No smoke or fire was present and a pull-box was found to have been activated.

Three days before Rutnam jumped from Boland Hall, she received a letter from the SU Office of Judicial Affairs, suggesting admittance into a day treatment or an inpatient program because she refused to continue her Pelion treatment plan, the document said.

The next day, Judicial Affairs informed Rutnam that they intended to evict her from the university because of her mental illness, the document added.

The university refused to comment and SU lawyers could not be reached for comment.

Knowing Rutnam's mental state and past suicide attempts, the university should have taken measures to provide for her safety, according to the document.

Two days after learning of her dismissal, Rutnam entered Boland Hall and jumped from its top floor. Rutnam's parents were in town that weekend to help her move out of her Winding Ridge apartment on South Campus.

Happel said he hopes Rutnam is recovering from her physical injuries and receiving treatment for her mental condition.

"To be honest, I still can't believe to this day that she's alive," he said. •

Jerogia McGinty pursues the ball during the Bronchos match against Northwest Missouri earlier this year. McGinty helped UCO to a 6-0 win over Southwestern Oklahoma in Weatherford Oct. 13.

The Bronchos posted another shutout on Oct. 15 against LeesMcRae in Wichita Falls. Valerie Gutierrez scored two goals as the sixth-ranked Bronchos improved to 14-2

While Nebraska maintained a firm grip on No. 1, the Oklahoma Sooners soared to No. 3 in The Associated Press Top 25 Poll on Sunday after a 41-31 victory over Kansas State.

Oklahoma (6-0) advanced five places from last week and received four first-place votes in balloting by the 71 sports writers and broadcasters on the AP panel.

It is the highest ranking for the Sooners since 1987, when they were ranked No. 1 in the final regular-season poll before losing to Miami in the Orange Bowl.

The top five in the USA Today/ESPN coaches' poll are Nebraska, Virginia Tech, Clemson, Oklahoma and Miami.

Here's how the Top 25 fared in over the weekend: The Cornhuskers (6-0) beat Texas Tech 56-3 in an easy victory, and collected 66 first-place votes and 1,770 points.

Virginia Tech (6-0), which beat West Virginia 48-20 last Thursday night, moved up to the No. 2 spot with one first-place vote and 1,656 points. Oklahoma had 1,603 points.

Kansas State (6-1) and Ohio State (5-1) took expected tumbles after losing for the first time this season. Both fell eight spots- the Wildcats from No. 2 to No. 10, the Buckeyes from No. 6 to No. 14 after a 29-17 loss to Minnesota. The Golden Gophers (5-2) cracked the Top 25 for the first time this season at No. 22.

Miami (4-1), idle on Saturday, remained at No. 4 followed by No. 5 Clemson (7-0), No. 6 Florida State, No. 7 Oregon, No. 8 Florida, No. 9 Washington and No. 10 Kansas State.

TCU (5-0), also idle over the weekend, moved up a spot to No. 11, followed by No. 12 Georgia, No. 13 Mississippi State, No. 14 Ohio State, No. 15 Southern Mississippi, No. 16 Michigan, No. 17 Purdue, No. 18 South Carolina, No. 19 Oregon State and No. 20 Notre Dame.

Arizona, after a 53-47 triple overtime win against Washington State, was No. 21, followed by No. 22 Minnesota, No. 23 UCLA, No. 24 North Carolina State and No. 25 Northwestern.

Texas despite a 28-14 win over Colorado, and Auburn, a 38-7 loser to Florida, dropped out of the AP Top 25. North Carolina State, 5-1 after its 38-20 win over North Carolina, made the poll for the first time since early last season.

SPORTS Big plays give Bronchos big win over Kingsville

BY TRACI STARKEY

Sports Editor

B

ig plays win ball games and UCO proved that to be true in their 21-13 defeat of Texas A&M Kingsville (TAMK) Oct. 14.

The Bronchos forced five turnovers, turning two into touchdowns, and got their first punt return of the year on Jerry Gardner's 86-yard dash to the end zone.

Despite being outgained 327-172, it was UCO's first-ever win over the Javelinas in Kingsville, having been outscored 266-74 in the past eight contests between the teams.

"It's obviously a big, big win for us," UCO coach Gary Howard said.

"To come down to 'a place where we've never won before and win, says a lot about this team and the character of our players and coaches."

Kingsville threw the first punch in the match-up, taking the ball 72 yards in 12 plays to score on their first possession, blanking the Bronchos 7-0.

Senior strong safety, Jon Brazeal got the Bronchos right back in it after a failed offensive drive by netting his second interception of the year at the TAMK 46-yard line.

Three plays later, Broncho quarterback Brett Manning hit split end Chad Hacker with a 24-yard touchdown pass at the goal line.

Evan Luttrell's PAT tied scoring at seven with 4:29 left to play in the first quarter.

The next big play of the game came in the opening minutes of the second quarter.

After the Bronchos amassed only 25 yards on 10 punt returns all year, junior Jerry Gardner returned the Kingsville punt 86 yards into the end zone, the fourth-longest return in school history. Gardner's run and Luttrell's kick gave the Bronchos a 14-7 advantage with 13:04 left in the first half.

The Bronchos got their next big break when defensive end Jermaine Bridow intercepted TAMK quarterback, Abel Gonalez in the backfield and returned the ball to the Kingsville 45.

The second turnover set up the Bronchos next score when Manning hit Hacker with a 44-yard pass at the one-yard line. Manning chalked-up six more points for UCO on a keeper, and Luttrell's extra point made it 217 with 9:26 left in the half.

The offense didn't score again, but the defense came up with big plays to clinch the victory.

UCO dominated 15-7, 15-4, 15-13 to improve to 15-8 on the year and 4-2 in the Lone Star Conference North Division.

"We came out and played well the first two games then had a let down in the third game," UCO coach Mark Herrin said.

"We could have put it away and let them back in it, which was disappointing, but we came back and finally finished it."

The third game went backand-forth as neither team could take control.

UCO surged in front down the stretch to pull out the 15-13 victory and end the match, with Lexy Fortner racking up seven of her nine kills in the final game.

"The girls played awesome tonight, I am really proud of them," Herrin said.

"After the 2-0 start they didn't let down, they knew they had to put them away."

Brahimaj continued her stellar play with a match-high 25 kills, while Fortner was not far behind racking up 23 kills with 17 digs and two service aces.

Twyla White chipped in with 10 kills and seven digs for the Bronchos, while Katy Wallace had four kills, nine digs and five blocks.

College crime reporting still cloudy, activists complain

BY MICHAEL HIGGENS

Wire Reporter—Chicago Tribune nder the old rules of campus crime reporting, Brook Baker's murder didn't count. The Vincennes University student was killed in 1997 in an apartment across the street from the Indiana community college, so Vincennes officials were free to exclude the incident from their annual report on campus crime.

The new rules, which make their debut in this year's reports and were released this week, were supposed to force the nation's colleges to provide more information to help students and their parents assess campus safety. Schools are now required to report more offenses that don't lead to arrests, for example, and to give a more detailed breakdown of violent crimes.

But the most significant change, a requirement that schools report crimes that happen on public property adjacent to their campuses, is subject to such wide interpretation that it is virtually meaningless, safety activists complain.

"I count the near sidewalk [bordering the campus], the street and the far sidewalk," said Dolores Stafford, a board member of the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators and police director at George Washington University in Washington. "Where I wouldn't be required to count is a building on the other side of the street that the university doesn't own."

In other words, Baker's murder still property to be," he said. "We don't spell it out wouldn't be counted, according to the in any more detail than that." association.

That answer doesn't satisfy campus safety "The limits should be extended!" said activists. "The schools are [the Education UCO freshman Demetrius Wright.

"The overall thrust of the legislation is to Stafford, of the campus law enforcement try to get some information to students and association, said excluding crimes at private their parents about the relative safety of businesses is only fair because the university schools," said Dan Madzelan, chief of has no power to make those places safer.

position taken by the campus lawenforcement association would require.

At Northwestern, officials drew the public property boundaries along the same lines as local police beats. That made it easier to collect data from the police. But in Evanston, it meant reporting some crimes that occurred more than a half-mile west of campus. As a result, the school's public property category added 16 robberies, 80 minor assaults and 412 thefts to its report.

At Loyola University, safety director Curtin initially drew the school's boundary to encompass two police beats. The result would have been an extra 134 robberies and 129 aggravated assaults to report. But Curtin said he had changed his mind after looking again at the rules and data other schools had filed with the Education Department. He said Loyola will count crimes in the same block as university property, lowering the number of robberies on public property to 11 and the number of aggravated assaults to eight.

Curtin said he will put the larger numbers in an optional part of the campus crime report that asks for local crime statistics.

At the University of Illinois at Chicago, officials did not report crimes at any offcampus apartments or restaurants. The school does plan to update its website to include a link to Chicago police statistics for the area, said Renee Reifsteck, assistant university counsel.

"Public property is not easily defined," she acknowledged. •

last visit, some crazy shiznit was going down with a demanding customer. Ad Manager Mike Thiessen and I were completely baffled by the smoothness of the employee. He must have been trying to kill the customer with kindness.

I highly recommend the #1 combo, which includes 2 donuts and a coffee for the bargain price of $1.92, available 24 hours a day.

Further south on Classen, behind the 7-11, is a well-named coffee shop called the Red Cup. Formerly a house, it's got a huge red cup on the roof, and the place is painted all crazy.

When you go inside, you'll see eclectic art with the common theme of a red cup. The art is quite inspiring, but the coffee is the star of the show here.

The regulars at the Red Cup are artists and other creative people, and most of them are happy to talk

to strangers.

Coolest thing about the Red Cup: rumor has it, the desserts are made by an actual grandma.

Next on the happy trail (hee hee) is the Chinatown Supermarket, where Americans will see things they've never seen before, such as fish heads on ice and that wonderful Japanese candy called Pocky, "The Super Snack!"

The final destination, certainly the oldest, is Kamp's, around 25th and Classen. This ancient, restored grocery store boasts the most exotic, least expensive flower market I've ever seen, but there's so much more to Kamp's.

They've got organic produce, a mouth-watering bakery, fresh meats and fish, hard-to-find specialty items and a huge selection of gourmet candy.

"The fact is that this race is about the issues, about who can be most effective for New York," the Long —Rick Lazio Island congressman said.

But Lazio must overcome a heavy Democratic advantage in New York State, where analysts said party members outnumber Republicans by a 5-to-3 ratio.

The suburbs north of New York City are one place where Lazio might convert wavering Democrats, analysts said.

Mike Medonis, a golf course superintendent enjoying a weekend lunch in Larchmont, described himself as one of those Democrats, saying "I haven't signed off" on Clinton.

"I've got the same issues everyone's got," he said. "Hillary not being from the state, her husband's being a jerk. But the economy's good. She's smart. I don't know much about Lazio."

At the end of Sunday's debate, Clinton noted Lazio's attempts to make her the issue. She cited a Lazio fund-raising letter that told donors "all you need to know about this election are six words: I'm running against Hillary Rodham Clinton."

"Well, I think New Yorkers deserve more than that," the first lady said. "How "bout seven words? How "bout jobs? Education. Health. Social Security. Environment. Choice." •

owa — The People magazine announcement that Iowa senior and safety Ryan Hansen will be listed as one of the sexiest men in America got a predictable reaction from the Iowa football team.

Hawkeye players and coaches think it's pretty funny.

"That was kinda the sense I got in the weight room yesterday," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "In fact, I didn't know anything about it, but there was some banter flying around the weight room yesterday."

That's not a surprise. This is a football team, not a beauty school.

So when teammates found out about the success Hansen's new modeling hobby has seen, they had to razz him about it.

"We got to [joke with him about it], yeah," punter Jason Baker said.

"He enjoys it; it's funny. People will call him 'pretty boy,' but it's not too bad. Anything that creates a little laughter in the atmosphere is good."

Online polls allow views to be shared for upcoming elections

BY TIFFANY WATKINS

Staff Writer

S

tudents, faculty, or anyone with on-line access can share their views on the upcoming presidential election with others from across the United States and around the globe. Users can vote on the opinions they like, and even pose questions to a presidential candidate.

Thanks to a partnership between Wake Forest University, site of the second presidential debate and Dallas-based Opinioneering Corp, "Consensus Builder" software tracks and displays a broad spectrum of topics.

Student leaders at Opinioneering Corp. will monitor questions sent to the website.

"Student leaders plan to take the most popular or provocative

comments directly to the individual campaigns and interested parties," said Jeff Zucker, CEO of Opinioneering Corp.

By connecting the questions and opinions of the voting public directly to the candidates and sending their answers back to citizens, we hope to begin to reverse the process of voter apathy and the feeling of disconnect that have discouraged people from voting in record numbers," Zucker said.

"The opinions of real people help educate us, especially candidates, media and pollsters, and remind us that nothing is ever decided until Election Day. Voters ultimately control the outcome of elections ... but only if they vote."

LETTERS Anti-cat policy would be wrong

I

here is a verse in the Book of Proverbs about kindness to animals. It reflects the ETHICAL heritage of our civilization. And more widely, the Prophet Mohammed's fondness for cats is wellknown to UCO's growing community of Muslim faculty and students.

For these reasons, I was sorry to read a recent letter hostile to homeless kitties on our campus.

The letter's writer, who seems to deal with young children in her profession, tries to identify kitties with disease and waste. Virtually everyone knows that cats are among the cleanest of beings, Constantly washing themselves and always burying their waste — certainly cleaner than young children who put their hands on everything, seldom voluntarily wash their hands, put everything in their mouths or their mouths on everything, and often carry contagious diseases such as viruses.

If the letter writer claims to have seen waste, it should be remembered that cats instinctively bury their waste, unlike the dogs that are often walked by their owners on campus on evenings and weekends.

An anti-animal policy would certainly be unpopular with the great majority of our students and would risk tarnishing our public reputation, in addition to the serious ethical issue. .

Sincerely, John Osburn, Ph.D. professor of history

BY DAVE THE GREAT, Staff Mystic

M

y loyal readers have let me down! 1 have yet to receive the Lucky Charmse dice thingy I asked you for last week! I offered the hand of my editor in chief, Allison, in marriage and five 8x10 blackmail photos of our managing editor, Evil One to the first person who gave me one of these dice-thingys. I even threw in a month of non-waking-up-in-a-dumpster horoscopes.

I can only assume that my loyal readers tried to send me some of these cereal-box toys, but were thwarted by a worldwide conspiracy of irate Pisces who hate me because I never give them horoscopes.

Hordes of Pisces operate from a top-secret base in a burned-out volcano, using captured Nazi scientists to intercept my mail, shave my cat and cause McDonalds to serve burgers before 10:30 a.m.

My only hope is for some British guy in a tux to bring this organization to its knees with sarcasm and cool inventions.

Or maybe I need to stop mixing painkillers with cheap vodka.

ARIES : ( MARCH 21 - APRIL 19 ) The coming week will be enjoyable for Aries, but only if you enjoy being beaten about the head and neck with blunt objects by cranky classmates.

TAURUS : ( APRIL 20 - MAY 20 ) The stars indicate this to be a good week to accomplish goals, Taurus.

Try to accomplish a shower this week.

Time to re-evaluate your eating habits. The health benefits of that granola bar you ate back in third grade have long since worn off.

The moon will enter Cancer at 4:37 a.m. Wednesday, waking you up and making you cranky for the whole day. Take it out on Aries.

LEO : ( JULY 23 - AUG 22 ) We Leos just plain rock. Try to avoid having too much of an ego over it — it makes the lesser Zodiac signs feel bad.

VIRGO : ( AUG 23 - SEPT 22 ) You will make important advances in the field of entomology when three new species of dung beetle are found in your lunch.

LIBRA : ( SEPT 23 - OCT 23 ) Your distress over not being a Leo will cause you to beat an Aries senseless in class.

SCORPIO : (OCT 24 - NOV 21) Your week will be somewhat embarrassing when full-color photos of your Oktoberfest activities appear in cheap porn magazines.

SAGITTARIUS : ( NOV 22 - DEC 21 )
