Spring schedules Art Show... to be posted online, not printed by Kim Roberts Staff Writer Beginning with the spring semester, enrollment schedules will only be online and no longer be printed. As spring enrollment approaches, Central students will no longer be able to highlight and dog-ear printed class schedules. "[Saving money] was one aspect of it, but when the [printed] schedule of classes comes out, it's almost out of date," said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for enrollment. After it's printed, departments sometimes change courses in the schedule, he said. "It's just not an up — to — date book, whereas online we can keep completely up to date," he said. Central is following the example set by other big schools in the state. Legere said that OU and OSU did the same thing a year ago, but Central wasn't ready at that point. He said that several people looked at the idea, and everyone supported it when the decision was made to go online in December of 2002. "There are several benefits. A lot of students are already used to enrolling online —
about 75% — and are already looking [at the schedule] online," Legere said. "If we had the printed schedule it wouldn't be out until about a week before enrollment, whereas it's already been available online since Sept. 11." "This way they can look at it a little more leisurely when they have to enroll," he said. However, some students are not happy with the change. "I really hate it. I'm a visual person, and I need to flip through and highlight. What if the intemet is down?" sophomore Kathy Shrock said. Legere said he doesn't expect anyone to be denied access on the internet. "The system may slow down, and it may not operate quite as fast when there's a high demand on it," Legere said. He said students will not be able to mark certain courses like in the printed version, but instead should write down the CRN number (class I.D. number) of any classes he or she is interested in. Students can access the new schedule by loying on to http://UCOnnect.ucok.edu , http://www.registrar.ucok.edu/sched, http://bronze.ucok.edu/registrar/sched or http://central.ucokedu.

Support group helps students quit smoking, get healthy by Sherrod Wall Staff Writer A campus support group designed to help smokers learn how to release themselves from their habit will be meeting in the UCO Wellness Center Oct. 24. The group will meet at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. that day.
The group's moderator, Mark Brennaman, said the program will demonstrate how to start creating a clearer environment for smokers to live in to shift their outlook from quitting to what they are doing for themselves—starting down the path of a healthier life. "We will also discuss how a positive outlook can greatly affect the smokers ability to quit." He said.
Brennaman had been a smoker for 30 years before he quit 9 months ago. His experience drove him to help ease the pain of quitting for other smokers. "If a smoker approaches me, then ill share my experiences with them to help them quit," Brennaman said. According to Brennaman the addiction can be isolated into a dependence triad corn-
prised of physical, behavior, and psychological components. "While smoking, the physical aspect is our body's dependence for the chemical, nicotine." He said. Defying the bodies craving for nicotine is the least difficult part of quitting because the body eliminates the nicotine from the body in three days Brennaman said. "The hardest part of quitting is
removing the habit of smoking from your mind," he said. "Once you can change the habit and the way you think about yourself quitting is easier." Brennaman said that the behavior aspect is how the smoking habit blends with everyday life. Activities such as waking up and immediately smoking, talking on the phone and smoking at the same time, being stressed out and imme-
diately using a cigarette to allay inner turmoil are a few examples of this. "To break the habit, it is important to break each aspect down and figure out how you, individually, relate to them," Brennaman said. Brennamen suggests that smokers implement drastic changes in everyday routines that are normally correlated with smoking to help remove smoking from their minds.

Dylan Park apartment complex on Chowning is under construction, to be completed Nov. 15.
New student apartments due for November completion by Rachael Tully Staff Writer A new student apartment complex is under construction and is due to be completed by the end of November. The Dillon Park apartment complex, located at 1017 Chowning, will house up to 144 Central students. David Aduddell, manager of Oklahoma Development Group, said Dillon's features will meet the needs of any college student. "The college trend of combination dorm and apartment living is growing," he said. "Dillon Park provides students with lots of space and special features." With the completion of one of Dillon's buildings on Oct. 15, many Central students said they
arc anticipating moving into the new living quarters. Chase Craig, freshman forensic science major, said he hopes to move into the apartments as soon as possible. "I live in the dorms, and I am tired of competing for a shower in the morning," he said. "The Dillon apartments are close to campus and will make parking a lot easier," Craig said. Missy White, freshman elementary education major, resides at Sleep Inn while the apartments are being completed. "I am so excited about the brand new apartments," White said. "I can't wait to sleep in a brand new bed, instead one that has already been slept on." Matt Kuker of Milestone Construction, project manager of

"All the organic professors really get dunked." Events earlier in the week included Monday's "Element Day" where professors dressed up in costume as different elements of the periodic table and paraded 'through Howell Hall. "The whole idea is that you have to dress up in some kind of costume and students have to guess what you are," Bowen said. Periodic table cupcakes were sold Monday for 50 cents a piece.

Campus programs ought to spur campus compassion, awareness Students, faculty and visitors witnessed the misfortune and adversity demonstrated on campus through various programs this week. A woman visited our campus Tuesday to share the story of the daughter and son-in-law she lost in a 2002 car wreck caused by a drunk driver. Their wrecked car was displayed inside a trailer near Broncho Lake. The woman talked of her visits to different schools in the last year in which she tries to raise awareness on drinking and driving. What hurts her most, she said, is when students mock the wreckage b It is sad that we as students cannot overcome the societal .
pressures put on us long enough to recognize others' pains. We are a generation that has seen more than its fair share of tragedies. We are not only forced to deal with tragedies in our communities and nation. We must also deal with our own personal tragedies. But is that reason for us to lack compassion? It is the one innate and fundamental characteristic that unites humanity. Throughout this week, different events took place to mark Poverty Awareness Week. Students camped out by the lake to gain the perspective of the millions of impoverished people in America. The purpose was to not only show the participating students

in my long-time friend's poor decision making skills. After being around me for so long, I thought he'd at least absorbed some of my more finely honed skills through osmosis. But no. "What the hell for?" I asked, half way wondering if maybe the sea breeze had finally salt-rotted his brain into barnacles. "Well, initially I decided I wasn't going to vote for him. But last week I was listening to some of his speeches, and he was cracking me up. He's just funny. "Here's your order." The voice said, muffled by the exchange of money and a crumpling Taco Bell sack. Maybe it's important to have politicians with a sense of humor. But Arnold Schwarzenegger? "You just elected Conan the Barbarian to office, do you realize that?" "Well, I'm not saying he's the best choice or not. It just makes politics more entertaining." There's the rope. Can we honestly say Arnold was elected based on his skill for the job? Or, like my ocean water drunk friend, did the populace of California make their decision based on the novelty of the situation? Next thing you know, we're going to have television reality shows determining who our leaders are.
the lives of others but also to show other students here the unlucky side of life. Perhaps we need things like this to remind us of the trivialities in life that we consider so important. To be happy, the Dalai Lama said we must practice compassion. To make others happy, we must practice compassion. "In our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves," he said. "When we worry less about ourselves, an experience of our own suffering is less intense." We should spend less time worrying about ourselves and more time trying to understand and realize the plights of others.
It may be a far cry, but this is how it starts. The California recall was nothing but a huge mockery of the democratic process. Look at it. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gary Coleman and Mary Cook — an adult film actress. If it is the case that the decision was based on the novelty, then why not make the most of it? Stretch it as far as it'll go. The American Way. Mary Cook. Yes. There's the real choice. I don't see how she could lose with a campaign slogan like, "We've had Brown, we've tried Gray, now its time for some blonde." And looking back over her Gubernatorial Platform, it doesn't sound half-bad. How's that for a lesser of two evils? She pledged to legalize gay marriages in California. Well, Arnold may have her there. He'd not only be keen on legalizing polygamy, but also encouraging it. And if you're for polygamy, then why not gay marriages? She also planned to tax breast implants, make lap dances a tax-deductible business expense and wire the Governor's Mansion with live web cams in every room. Mmm hmm...yeah spin that bottle... Sorry. Mental images. Can't shake 'em. Anyway, tax breast implants. Yes. I vote on that. Breast implants are an unnecessary frill in today's society. Not really needed. If a woman is already pretty, then no amount of enlarging will change the outcome. And on the flipside, if a woman is ugly, then no amount of
enlarging will change the outcome. There you go. And since the government already makes money off of America's insecurities, why not carry through? And last, but certainly not least, she said she would create a "Porn for Pistols" program to take handguns off the streets. I am not lying. This is real. The website I lifted all this information from didn't go into details of her "Porn for Pistols" program, but I can picture what it would be like... A big long cafeteria table draped with an' impressive red, white and blue tablecloth with stacks of Playboy magazines and Debbie Does Dallas videotapes piled as high as the Capitol Records building. Behind the table, several adult film actresses with fat collagen lips and taxed breasts stand, their platinum hair waving in the fishy sea breeze that's blowing in off the Pacific Ocean as the palm trees that line the Pacific Coast Highway shimmy to its quiet song. A long line of all sorts of demographic extremes, from gangsters to great North American hunters to drug runners, all drop their Gloks and Remingtons and banana-clipped sub-machine guns into big plastic tubs in front of the table. After rifling through the vast selection of porn, they greedily grab the 1993 issue with Anna Nicole Smith on the cover and speed off to some unknown destination to reap the rewards of their latest exchange. I can honestly say that if I owned a gun and this scenario was playing in a town near me, I'd be the first in line.

Gamino Sports Writer With two victories over fall break weekend and another Tuesday afternoon the Central Oklahoma Bronchos soccer team has extended it's school-record setting winning streak to 12 straight games. A 5-0 defeat of St. Mary's Friday afternoon gave the Bronchos their eight shutout of the season while a 2-1 victory of St. Edward's on Sunday was enough to help boost the Bronchos into a No. 18 national ranking in NCAA Division II by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Adidas poll released Monday.

The defending LSC champion Bronchos appear to be heading for another playoff birth as they sit atop the league standings with a 5-0 record and a 12-1-2 overall record.

The UCO Volleyball team split two Lone Star Conference road games in Texas last weekend before winning a crucial LSC North contest against Cameron on Tuesday. On Oct. 21, UCO traveled to Lawton to face CU (14-10 overall, 4-1 in LSC North), who had defeated the Bronchos in UCO's first conference home game on Oct. 2. In game one, the Aggies got off to a solid start as they hit .245 on their way to their lone victory of the night, 30-27. Despite hitting only .150 in the second game, UCO rebounded beating CU 30-28 in a close battle. The Bronchos played a stellar game in the third game of the match as they dominated the Aggies hitting .308 while holding CU to a .048 hitting percentage. UCO's strong play led to the 3021 win and 2-1 lead in the match. In the fourth and final contest, Cameron battled back to make it tough on Central to close the match. But the Bronchos pressured the Aggies defensively forcing CU to commit 10 errors in the 30-27 UCO win. UCO was balanced offensively as four players recorded doubledigits in kills. Tori Walker led the charge with 16, Emily Whiteley had 13, Kim Morgal had 12 and Ashley Hemphill had 11 with a .250 hitting percentage. Stacey Meek had a team-high with 47 assists, while Walker led team in digs with 18.

But down 0-2 in the match, the Pioneers fought back. TWU took the third game as they kept the Bronchos from the sweep with a hard-fought 33-31 win. The Pioneers took advantage of
their momentum winning the fourth game with ease 30-21 forcing a fifth game. In the tiebreaker, the Bronchos looked to have secured the win as they built a 13-8 lead. But • TWU scrapped their way back, going on a 7-0 run to steal the win and the match. The Pioneers had a strong match offensively recording a .284 hitting percentage in the five games. Walker led the Bronchos with a .316 hitting percentage and 24 kills. Whiteley added 15 kills, Jenny Anderson 25 digs and Meek had 69 assists on the afternoon. On Oct. 18, UCO traveled to Wichita Falls, Texas to battle Midwestern State. The match between the Bronchos and the Indians started off intense as there were five lead changes in the Bronchos' 33-31 win in the closest game of the match.
In the second game, UCO began to seize control of the match as the Bronchos hit .138 in the 30-24 win. In the third and final game, the Bronchos turned up the pressure on both sides of the net. The Indians managed only 13 kills while committing 10 errors on their way to a .059 hitting percentage. UCO finished the threegame sweep with a 30-23 victory. Rachel MacElvaine was outstanding in the match hitting .533 with eight kills and no errors. Morgal led UCO in kills with 16 while Walker had 13 and 17 digs. Whiteley tied Walker for the team high in digs with 17. Meek had an match-high 46 assists in the three games. The Bronchos have an overall record of 15-6 and are 4-2 in the LSC North. They take on Wayland Baptist tonight at 7 p.m. in the Hamilton Field House.

Bronchos stampede to 6th in nation Box Score: Central Oklahoma vs. East Central (Oct 18, 2003 at Ada, Oklahoma)
by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer
Score by Quarters 1 2 3 4 Score Central Oklahoma's recent victory put them at No. 6 nationally in a weekly top-25 poll released Tuesday by the American Football Coaches Association of America. The unbeaten Bronchos jumped up three spots in this week's poll after defeating Lone Star Conference North Division rival East Central 31-21 in Ada, Okla. Saturday night. Central, 5-0 in the LSC and 2-0 in the North Division, will likely remain atop the overall league standings for at least the next two weeks since they are idle this week. The 7-0 start, Central's first since 1999, also helps keep the Bronchos at No. 1 in the NCAA West Region rankings. The top four teams from the region will advance to the 16team Division II playoffs at the end of the regular season. The Bronchos are followed in the West Region poll by Mesa State, Texas A&M-Kingsville, and LSC rival Tarleton State. Tarleton State, who defeated the Bronchos in their final game last season 34-27, currently sit at No. 22 in the national poll. The Bronchos will again face TSU for their final game of the regular season this year in Stephenville, Texas.
