Bronchos' 8-0 season, named No. 1 position By Steven E. Wedel Editor in Chief

he UCO Bronchos were expected to be ranked as the number one Division II football team in the nation, according to preliminary reports early Monday. The Bronchos were expected to advance from the number two spot after defeating Ouachita Baptist 48-7 last Saturday. Northern Colorado was ranked number one last week, but a loss to NebraskaOmaha on Saturday was expected to drop them from the top position in favor of UCO. "We're happy to be there," said Gary Howard, head coach of the Bronchos. "It's an honor be ranked there at this point in time. Of course, it's more important to see where we'll be three weeks from now." The Bronchos are undefeated this season. Gary Howard "I'm certainly happy to be 8-0," Howard said. "I think it's a credit to the players, assistant coaches and everybody who gets out there and gets it done. It's a big thing to be undefeated." The official NCAA poll was expected to be released about one hour after presstime on Monday.

Students participate in mock rape trial By Jarrod Briley Stilliefir7.A'6:'

mock rape trial, sponsored by The Campus Organization for a Substance Abuse Free Environment (COSAFE), will be held at UCO on Wednesday in an effort to increase public awareness of date rape. The trial will focus on the role of alcohol in contributing to the problem of date rape. "When it comes to date rape, alcohol is almost always involved to some extent," said John Garic, assistant professor of business.

Garic is a former judge and technical advisor for the mock trial. Garic said he wants the mock trial to make university students aware of the potential problems that may arise during intimate situations when alcohol is being used. Because alcohol distorts a person's judgment, men sometimes think that when a woman says 'no' to a sexual advance she actually means `yes,' Garic said. " The trial should teach people that 'no' means 'no' regardless of the situation. Hopefully it (the trial) will

AAUP Fall Forum to focus on research funding, faculty awards By Madhumathi Krishnamurthy StaffWilier ossible increase in research funding and honorary awards will be the topic of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) Fall Forum, to be conducted at 2 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 29. The AAUP will address State Questions 680 and 681 at the forum, in the College of Business Administration's Troy Smith Auditorium. The state questions will give voters a chance to change Oklahoma law on ownership rights of intellectual discoveries in state institutions. It will allow partnerships between business and industry with universities,

enabling them to use university facilities for technology research. Currently, faculty members are precluded from working with business and industry on anything they create or produce at the university, said Dr. Robert Terrell, president of the AAUP-UCO chapter. Also, the profits of any research done by faculty members go to the university and not the individual. "These state questions basically address the issue of encouraging participation with businesses and industry, and prompting faculty to be more productive in those areas:' Terrell said. The session will help faculty members and administrators learn how the passage of these state questions can help increase

research funding to UCO, Terrell said. However, there will be speakers for and against passage of the state questions, said Dr. Thomas E. Guild, AAUP State Executive Secretary. "The possibility of closer business/university relationships could enable businesses to use that as an influence on internal university matters," Guild said. "Therefore it is important that we hear both sides of the argument," he said. Discussions will be followed by speeches and the honoring of two UCO professors, who will be presented the annual Distinguished Service Award and the Distinguished Teaching Award during the forum. Their names however, will not be

disclosed until the award ceremony takes place and the winners are notified, said Terrell. Three of the featured speakers at the forum are Lt. Governor Mary Fallin's chief of staff Larry Stein, House Republican Leader Rep. Fred Morgan, and Chairman of Common Cause Oklahoma Dr. Ed Kessler. Also during the session, State Senator Bernest Cain will be presented the Dewey-Lovejoy Award for his outstanding service to the Oklahoma higher education faculty. "Senator Cain has been a longtime supporter of higher education. This is an award to recognize his years of service and dedication to the betterment of university faculty," Terrell said.

RAPE Continued from front page_ give women courage and men deference." Kate Leader, director of the mock trial, said the trial is not intended to blame alcohol for rape, but to show how it can contribute to the problem. "Alcohol doesn't make a person rape, but it does lower

inhibitions to the point that a person may do things that normally they would never consider," Leader said. To make the trial as realistic as possible, it will be performed without the use of a script. The play has a structured

story line, but the actor's responses to one another will be improvised. The trial will also include audience participation. At the end of the trial a voting ballot will be distributed to each audience member.

Unclaimed sign renews fitness center debate By Mark A. Schneberger

CO administrators are pushing for the construction of an on-campus fitness facility to help students and faculty become stronger and more fit. But members on both sides of the fence surrounding the proposed $7million center are showing they already have strength—in numbers. Last week, an unnamed group erected a near-6-by-8 foot cloth and wood banner in support of the construction of a fitness center. Reading "UCO Healthy 2000," "Build It and They Will Come," and "Yes, We Support a Health and Fitness Center," the colorful sign is displayed near the Union Station Express on the main floor of the University Center. It shows the signatures of about 200 students and staff, written with colored markers. No organization or group has yet stepped forward and taken credit for the sign. Its emergence caught both Auxiliary Enterprises officials and students off•

guard. Auxiliary Enterprises staff claimed they were not notified that a sign supporting a fitness center would be hung in he building. They said they also had no knowledge of who may have hung it. Yet, Auxiliary Enterprises Director A. K. Rahman's name appears on the sign as a fitness center supporter. Rahman was unavailable for comment at presstime. Not all students are pleased with the sentiments asserted on the sign. The sign has been defaced in several areas with curse words, insults and an unofficial advertisement for Langston University.

(insane)" and other derogatory comments on the sign. But, she felt students who oppose the proposed fitness center should construct their own signs, she said. "I think with all the problems the buildings are already having on campus, that we shouldn't be building another building," Phillips said. "Students should make signs telling it like it is. Let's take care of what we have first." Phillips said she and many of her friends feel UCO has all the equipment students and staff need to keep fit. She said she knows "at least 50 people" who don't want a fitness center constructed. UCO already has a fitness center located in Hamilton Fieldhouse. It is

open several hours throughout the day, Monday-Sunday, for informal recreation use. Fitness equipment is also available in Wantland Hall for use, MondaySaturday. John Lunsford, freshman, said he uses the weight room and pool in the Hamilton Field House center almost every day. He said building another fitness center with pool and weight room is redundant. "Why do we need to start building things that we already have? And who's going to pay for this?" he said. "I know students will get stuck with a bill they don't want and can't afford if the (fitness center) is built. Tell (President Roger) Webb we don't want this."

International students extend invitation to their cultures By James Gutzmer StaffiNiter

alking across the UCO campus this week is like walking through another country...or across the world. International Student Services is presenting UCO International Week for the university community this week. "We bill this as the international students' gift to the UCO campus and Edmond community," said Dr. Ronald Paddack, director of International Student Services. Three groups are presenting "Get to Know My Country" presentations this week. The presentations will consist of skits, music, dancing and individual speakers that will give the audience an idea of the countries' culture and people. The "Get to Know My Country" presentations will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Cherokee Room on the third floor of the University Center. "There may be up to 30 students on the stage at one time. This is a great way to learn about these countries and these

people," Paddack said. On Monday, students from Kazakhstan put on the first presentation. Today, Panamanian students will make their presentation to the audience. Finally, on Thursday, the students from Nigeria will give their presentation. "Everyone is welcome to bring a sack lunch if they like. It will be a good time," Paddack said. The international students will hold the World Cup UCO Championship Wednesday and Thursday. Twelve international teams and a USA team will compete for T-shirts and the opportunity to have their team's name engraved on the UCO World Cup plaque in the office of International Student Affairs. Last year's winner was the South American team. The teams will compete in semi-final games on Wednesday. The finals will be held at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday at Tom Tompson Field. The award will be presented at the International Festival Friday evening. International Festival an all day event

where students from over 30 countries will have booths set up from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the University Grand Ballrooms. The booths will feature arts and crafts, food samples and cultural items from many of the countries represented at UCO. "This (International Festival) is a time when international students from UCO

can show the community...where they come from," Paddack said. Live entertainment will end the festival 7 p.m. Friday in Constitution Hall of the University Center. Seventeen countries will perform dances accompanied by music from their homelands. "You will be amazed if you haven't seen it before," Paddack said.

Six ticket rule not a definite, say university officials By Katie Hawk StaffWriter TTENTION SENIORS: An important letter should arrive in your mailbox this week. The letter addresses a topic of concern to many seniors, as well as general instructions concerning commencement events. The topic oÂŁ, concern, is the "six ticket rule," as senior Melinda Belcher described in a letter to the editor last Thursday. She expressed concern for her family members that would not be able to attend her graduation due to the rule. Good news Melinda, according to the commencement letter, you may be able to receive more tickets. Seniors are encouraged to return unneeded tickets to room 121B of the University Center. Seniors in need of extra tickets should make a request by calling Ken Young, director of certification and veterans affairs, at 974-2392. "I try to give everyone as many tickets

as I can. I didn't have any problems with it last year," Young said. Young said there are 5,000 tickets available and the fieldhouse holds 5,500 people, 500 being graduates. "We have to limit the number of people we can hold," Young said. Young said the limiting is in compliance with a fire code. In 1993, a decision was made to hold all ceremonies in the fieldhouse rather than Wantland Stadium, said Terry May, assistant vice president of academic affairs. The fieldhouse allows graduates and guests to have access to facilities such as bathrooms, water fountains, and heating and air conditioning. The age of guests was taken into consideration as well. May described how in the past, elderly guests struggled up stairs and down hills. "When we made the decision, we accepted the fact that while doing so, we were constraining the number of seats," May said. Therefore, in spring of 1996, the "six ticket rule" was established.

UCO's graduation ceremony, held at Hamilton Fieldhouse, was a full-house last semester. (Photo by UCO Photo Services) May pointed out that not all commencement ceremonies abide by the "six ticket rule." Rather, it is only the ceremonies that have a large number of graduates. This fall, all commencement

ceremonies are ticketed, whereas, next spring, only the college of education ceremony is ticketed. "(The six ticket rule) is designed to bring the most fairness to our graduates and their guests," May said.

The most qualified candidates will receive this scholarship.

—Lynn Means Student Activities Director

Means said the recipients of the Campus Leaders scholarship will automatically become members of the President's Leadership Council (PLC). "PLC affords members additional opportunities that other students don't have, such as, leadership development, luncheons and interacting with leaders in the community," Means said. In order to keep the tuition waiver, recipients must maintain a 3.0 grade point average in a minimum of 12 hours, stay active in three campus organizations and attend all PLC activities. Individuals interested in applying for the Campus Leaders scholarship should contact Means in the Student Activities office at 974-2363.

Enticing names help market courses By Ellen Warren CollegePressWriter It's not that higher education is a business (though it is). And it's not that professors really have to market the courses they teach (though sometimes they do). Perhaps it's just to liven up those dreary page after computerized page of course listings that abound at colleges and universities across the country. For whatever reason, there are some deliciously bizarre and entertaining courses being offered by institutions of higher learning. The trend may be for college kids to try and graduate with useful, saleable skills—a plus in a world where college costs continue to rise faster than inflation and student loans can linger into middle age. But a meander through university Web sites, course guides and special mailings shows you can still find strange and unexpected learning experiences in college. In the classroom. Consider Stanford University's philosophy department graduate seminar titled "Is Morality Too Demanding?" The course syllabus says, "Critics have argued that prominent moral theories require (people) ... to act in ways that are either impossible or, if possible, undesirable?'

Judgment House not a typical Halloween drama By Leslie Ann McKay Studentiffriter f you are looking for an alternative to the traditional Halloween haunted house, then you may be interested in "Judgment House." Guests walk through a ninescene drama presentation, which traces the life-changing decisions that a few college students have made and the consequences of their actions. The presentation is from 6-9 p.m. today through Friday at Henderson Hills Baptist Church, 2300 South Boulevard, Edmond. Tim Lesher, a UCO sociology freshman, will volunteer at "Judgment House" for the third time.

The church considers "Judgment House" their gift to the community, said Becky Henson, administrative assistant in the student ministry office. With a 210 member cast, and over 150 volunteers, the event has become a church-wide project. The response to "Judgment House" has been positive, last year alone over 5,000 people attended. The drama is appropriate for guests of all ages. However, parents of young children are warned that there is a funeral scene with a casket, so they may want to discuss this with young children before attending, said Henson.

The old equipment was outdated and not up to safety standards," said Sue McCauley, director of the Child Study Center. McCauley said that improper spacing between steps and old wood, covered with dangerous splinters, were a few of the hazards of the old equipment. "It (the playground) just wasn't safe for the kids to play on," McCauley said. Approximately half of the $30,000 needed to fund the construction came from private donations. The other half came from university funds, McCauley said. The new playground will consist of a climbing structure and playhouse surrounded by a tricycle path. Construction began Wednesday and is expected to be < completed in mid-November.

Bronchos show No. 1 prowess against Ouachita By James Gutzmer sports miter

CO ran all over Ouachita Baptist Saturday, finishing 48-7, moving the Bronchos into the top spot in the NCAA Division II for the first time in UCO history. UCO racked up 371 total rushing yards between five rushers. Ryan Logan and Reggie Donner were the force behind the UCO punch, combining for 310 yards. Logan tore up the Tiger defense, breaking one run for 81 yards. Both players have now surpassed 2000 yards in their careers at UCO. "I have not broken a run like that since high school. It has been way too long," Logan said. The rush was not the only weapon for the Bronchos. Quarterback Scott Condict

completed 10-of-12 passes for 164 yards and three touchdowns. The Bronchos' defense also held tough. The Tigers only passed the 50-yard line once, when they ran the ball back for a touchdown on a kick off. The Bronchos didn't waste any time getting the ball down the field. UCO moved the ball 76 yards in seven plays to get the Bronchos started with a touchdown. Logan capped the drive with a four-yard rush. The Tigers got stuffed by the UCO defense. The Tigers were forced to punt on fourth and 21. Wide receiver Alton Lusk got the Bronchos started again, catching a 36-yard pass from Condict to move the ball down to OBU's 33-yard line. Donner took the ball to the OBU 10-yard line on five rushes. Kicker Ronnie Gulikers then put the ball through the uprights to put the

Ryan Logan, senior tailback for the Bronchos, broke an 81-yard touchdown run in Saturday's game against Ouachita Baptist to bring the score to 31-0 in the first half. The Bronchos went on to win 48-6. (Photo by UCO Photo Services)

I have not broken a run like that since high school. Ryan Logan Bronchos up 10-0. The start of the second quarter was no different. The Bronchos charged back down the field to score again. The drive was highlighted by a Condict pass to Todd Barnes for 21 yards and the touchdown. That put the Bronchos up 17-0. After a UCO defensive stop, the Bronchos took over on their own 20. UCO took the ball

down the field again for another touchdown. Donner finished the drive off with a 3-yard run. The Bronchos led 24-0. After the Tigers were forced to punt by a strong UCO defense, Logan took the ball on a handoff over the right tackle for 81 yards and the score. The Bronchos led 31-0. The Tigers took the resulting kick off all the way back for the score. The score at the half was 31-7. "We took control of the game and played the best we could. We were well on our way at the end of the first half," said Condict. In the second half the Bronchos kept up their scoring binge. On the first drive of the third quarter, the Bronchos scored another touchdown. The drive was finished with a 12yard screen pass from Condict

to Alton Lusk, putting the Bronchos up 38-7. With 2:31 left in the third quarter, the Bronchos scored their final touchdown. Mikeal Miller caught the ball on a crossing pattern to put UCO up 45-7. UCO was not through scoring however. Gulikers put the ball through the uprights from 37 yards out to finish the Bronchos' scoring, making the final score 48-7. "We are finally where we want to be," Donner said. The Bronchos move to 8-0 on the season to lead the Lone Star Conference. The Bronchos have captured the number-one spot in the nation. Former number one Northern Colorado lost to the University of Nebraska-Omaha. The Bronchos will play Southwestern Oklahoma State in Weatherford this Saturday. â&#x2013; (

Oklahoma student files suit over state scholarship program By College Press Exchange TULSA, Okla. (CPX) - A freshman at the University of Tulsa has sued the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, challenging the legality of a scholarship program that gives awards based on different standards set for people of different races and genders. Matthew Pollard filed suit in federal court on Tuesday (Oct. 20) after being rejected for a grant from Oklahoma's

Academic Scholars Program, which gives full and partial awards to in-state students with high test scores. Under law guiding the program, students earn full, or "Category 1," scholarships if they score in the top .5 percent of members of one of the following groups: male, female, nonHispanic black, American Indian, Hispanic, Asian-Pacific Islander and nonHispanic white. Students can receive half, or "Category 2," awards for scoring in the

top 1 percent of their group and quarter, or "Category 3,” grants for scoring in the top 2 percent. Every year, cut-off levels for each category are determined by the scores of each group. This year, for example, a white male student needed a cumulative score of at least 131 on the ACT or a 1490 on the SAT to qualify for a full scholarship. Requirements for a black student were lower: a 115 on the ACT and a 1350 on the SAT.

auait „Zakes

Pollard scored a cumulative 123 on the ,ACT, which he claims would have qualified him for a quarter-level scholarship under the regents' standards. But because no money is made available for Category 3 awards if more students than expected rank in the top two tiers, Pollard received no money. His suit claims that he was denied the award because so many scholarships from categories 1 and 2 were given to minority students with lower test scores than his.<

Student expresses concern over foreign and domestic spending

hould the United States' government be spending so much money helping other nations when people within our own borders are living in poverty? That was the issue Tanya Gann, a UCO freshman of undecided major, chose to address when I interrupted her pre-experiment meditation in the Education Building. She isn't happy about the way our government is throwing money at the problems of other countries—she said spending as much as we do is a "waste." Tanya did not think we should just cut off our dependent allies, however. "We shouldn't quit helping them altogether," she said. Tanya said she was in favor of reducing our financial aid to other countries and thus making them become more reliant on their own abilities. Some would argue that it is our financial contributions that keep some third world countries from committing horrendous human rights violations. Tanya didn't see that as realistic. "I don't think it would make a major difference," she said. "They still have trouble even with us helping them." Taking away our American dollars wouldn't be a license to tyranny, Tanya said, because the nations that may commit such acts respect our authority. "They believe we're the most powerful country in the world," she said. Tanya said the money should be taken away from foreign aid and spent at home. "There's plenty of people here living in poverty. We should help them before helping other countries," she said. Tanya referred to President Clinton's recent decision to spend millions of dollars to keep American troops in Bosnia as an example of how our money is not being used properly.

There's plenty of people here living in poverty. We should help them before helping other countries.

—Tanya Gann UCO Student

"It's outrageous," she said. Tanya has some ideas of how the money saved from wasteful foreign investments should be spent. She is in favor of more programs that would help people who really need it—in America. "We should help people who really need it," she said. "Not just people who don't want to work, I mean people who are trying and still having trouble." Tanya, who considers herself a political moderate, said she is in favor of recent attempts to reform our welfare system. She said the reforms, over all, are a "good thing," but special circumstances should be taken into consideration. "There's still some people, like working mothers and fathers, who need assistance," Tanya said. "They have jobs, but they're still not making enough. "If they're working and doing all they can, they should be allowed to have extensions before being cut off," she said. When asked who should be in charge of such programs, Tanya said they should be joint efforts of the federal and state governments. However, she was quick to point out that the governments should also take a look at how they manage money domestically. She told a story about a relative who delivered a truckload of goods to a government institution. The government wasn't satisfied with the items. "They were the wrong color, so they threw them away," she said. Even when the government gets what it wants, it isn't happy for long, Tanya said. "After so many years, they (government officials) get rid of things just because they were old," she said. Liberals and conservatives alike could learn something from Tanya, whose ideals about spending seem to come from something once called common sense. It sure beats the partisan thinking we've seen coming out of Washington, D.C. lately.

"Pleasantville" examination of traditional values By Julie Jordan Staillyriter elcome to Pleasantville, the black-and-white TV show where the temperature is a constant 72 degrees, the basketball team never misses a shot, and above all, everything is pleasant. But this perfection is threatened when TV viewers David and Jennifer are sold a new remote control by TV repairman Don Knotts. David is ready to watch the Pleasantville marathon, but as he and

Jennifer fight over the remote, they are zapped into the land of Pleasantville. The "Leave it to Beaver" type show becomes a reality and siblings David and Jennifer become television characters Bud and Mary Sue Parker. Joan Allen and William H. Macy are George and Betty Parker, Bud and Mary Sue's perfect Ozzie and Harriet parents. David is an obsessive fan of the show and tries not to disturb or change the citizens of Pleasantville. But Jennifer is immediately bored with the quiet monotonous town life, and one evening at

lover's lane with the captain of the basketball team changes the town forever. As the townspeople begin to experience unknown emotions, like lust and anger, the town begins to change colors and gain depth. The books that were previously blank suddenly have words, fires break out across town and the basketball team loses their first game. Jeff Daniels is Mr. Johnson, the owner of an ice cream shop, who discovers a talent for painting with the introduction of color.

Some resist the new way of life while others embrace it. This divides the town touching on a theme of racism with colorized people on one side and black and white on the other. But the division of the Pleasantville goes even deeper, with the traditional values being compared to more liberal attitudes. Although predictable, "Pleasantville" has deep messages hidden in the simple plot, proving that we can no longer see the world in black and white.

Nazi metamorphosis latest Stephen King movie topic By Julie Jordan StaWriter mages of drawn, lifeless faces in concentration camps open this tale of an aging ex-Nazi and the neighborhood boy who discovers his true identity. Based on the short story by Stephen King, "Apt Pupil" is far from horror, and nothing more than a histor)i lesson gone awry. While studying the Holocaust in class, 16-year-old Todd Bowden (Brad Renfro) finds a resemblance between Nazi war criminal Kurt. Dtssander and his neighbor Arthur Denker, (Ian McKellan). , After some clever detective work to confirm that Dussander is. Denker, Todd proceeds to blackmail Denker into telling him all the horrific details

of the concentration camps that he can't find in text books. As Denker confesses his atrocious crimes, Todd transforms from the boynext-door to Denker's twisted student. Todd's sudden conversion from good to evil is just one of the many unbelievable events in "Apt Pupil." McKellan does a 'wonderful job 'of portraying a loyal follower of Hitler. But the viewer is left wondering why -Renfro's character is smart enough to discover Denker's secret past, but not smart enough to realize the consequences of his actions. Thics lack a , a ---hero or central character that the audience can care' about is the main problem of "Apt Pupil." Denker is obviously psychotic and Todd follows in his mentor's footsteps, leaving no one to root for. , i

David Schwim-mer has a. his milder. movies like "Stand B y Me" surprisingly small, but decent, role as and The Shawshank Redemption" are Edward French, Todd's guidance far from frightening, but still leave a • counselor who is concerned about his. lasting impression. While "Apt Pupil" is far from the failing grades. "Carrie," "Misery" and "Pet disaster "Sleepwalkers" was, it falls Cemetery" are a few of Stephen somewhere in between King's two King's horrific tales that have made extremes, refusing to frighten and their way to the big screen. Some of failing to provoke thought.
