TODAY IN HISTORY In 1996, Mark Fuhrman of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) was fined $200 and given three years' probation after pleading no contest to perjury at O.J. Simpson's trial for the murders of his ex-wife and her lover, Ron Goldman. Furhman testified under oath that he did not use racial slurs in the past decade of working for LAPD. Simpson was later acquitted of the charges.

dmond patrol officer John Zeigler will receive the Police Officer of the Year award, Oct. 5 at the Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) Conference.

he Sept. 11 attacks will undoubtedly change the American way of life. But how far will we let our freedom slip before we say enough? Congress is debating whether we need a national identification card. We already have driver's licenses, social security cards, bank account numbers and mailing addresses — is another required form of identification really going to deter terrorists? President Bush said he would not support this legislation, but a campus

poll indicates many people are in favor of the cards. People want to feel safe, even if the new security measures are unenforceable. Identification cards in other countries include information that is illegal to ask on a job application in the United States. If this information is a matter of public record, prejudice based on race or religion may soon see a revival. The problem with this legislation is where to draw the line if the national

card system fails. The next security measure might be microchips implanted into anyone living or visiting the United States. Is this an acceptable alternative for freedom-loving Americans? Imagine going to a little league baseball game and having to present your ID card, or passing through scanners that track your every move. With legislation such as this, George Orwell's premonitions of Big Brother may not be so far fetched. •

LETTERS Reader says network marketing teaches participants to dream big

our perceptions of the network marketing industry as stated in your rebuttal letter to Kenneth Wohl in the September 25 issue of The Vista are antiquated. Kiyosaki stated in Rich Dad's The Business

School for People Who Like Helping People that in the 1970s he had a closed mind — but after recently studying the industry, he's done a 180 as have many professional people. What you need to be teaching your students is to learn to take control of their own financial future. In Kiyosaki's Rich Dad's CASHFLOW Quandrant book, he explains how "traditional schools train you for the left side of the Quadrant, to be employees or self-employed individuals, where you learn how to work hard for money." These people lack leverage. But on the right side of the Quandrant, he explains how network marketing helps you build a business so you can eventually become an investor where your money works hard

FOR YOU. You learn to leverage yourself — getting "the power to earn more and more by working less and less." An employee or self-employed person has to work harder if they want to earn more. If you are an employee or selfemployed, your income is limited because there are only 24 hours in a day. Kiyosaki says "successful people on the right side of the Quadrant operate as a team...their income potential is infinite because it is based on other people's time and other people's money working for them." Your pompous comments about the industry's products don't even deserve a reply! Personally, I suffered for years with migraine headaches until I started using some of my company's products. No doctor helped me except to give me drugs to knock me out and kill the pain. Now I'm headache-free. Our Labrador suffered tremendously with arthritis despite the vet's steroid medicine; however, my company

recently introduced a superior pet line, and he is no longer crippled. I could go on; but suffice it to say, our products are highly researched and quality controlled. Ours is a consumer distribution business. As Kiyosaki stated, "The richest people in the world look for and build networks, everyone else looks for work. You can have the greatest idea or product, but it will only be successful if you have a network to tell people about it and a network of distribution to sell it through." We are a network of franchised individuals. "People concerned about doing business in the future and about their own personal financial future should take an objective look at [our] industry...If you want to change who you are, begin by changing the size of your dream." I teach people to DREAM BIG — what do you teach them?

There is usually very any college, university or high little money left for school may purchase the pass entertainment. with a current ID. The Carpenter Square "I know the $10 price for Theatre (CST) wants to help eight admissions sounds too these students, by offering good to be true," said CST Staff Writer

Artistic Director Rhonda Clark, "but Carpenter Square is interested in community outreach, bringing in new audiences and providing quality live entertainment to students who often cannot afford regular-priced tickets." When going to Carpenter Square, people should expect a new and exciting brand of theatre, Box Office Manager

Lance Garrett said. "We don't do the everyday, run-of-the-mill theatre. We stay with what is popular and new," he said. "We try to bring popular theatre just off Broadway, and we even premier several shows a year." The first play available with the University Card is the comedy-drama The Memory of Water playing Oct. 5-27. The story follows three sisters who reunite to plan their mother's funeral. For the holidays, the musical comedy Das Barbecu plays Nov. 23-Dec. 15. This play is a fable of love conquering greed set in Texas, combining lassos and beer with river maidens and rings of fire.

The play Wit debuts Jan. 4 and runs through Jan. 26. Wit, winner of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, follows one woman's fight with ovarian cancer. "We really want to get students who wouldn't normally be able to afford the shows," Garrett said. The Alpha Psi Omega Dramatic Fraternity will be handling ticket sales for UCO. To get tickets, call President Julie Meyer at 974-2545. The fraternity is allowed to keep $5 from each ticket sold. Carpenter Square Theatre performs at Stage Center, 400 W. Sheridan in downtown Oklahoma City, near the Bricktown area. Free parking is also available. â&#x20AC;˘

Brooke Harry III news editor/anchor, KCSC-FM

uesday, September 11th was a slow news day. Just the usual stuff from the Associated Press wire: more tit-fortat violence in the Middle East, NATO troops disarming ethnic Albanian rebels, Congress and the White House arguing over the projected budget surplus, and President Bush in a Florida classroom making a point about his education plan. When I arrived at my desk at 4:45 a.m. to begin assembling the morning newscasts for 90.1 KCSCFM, I was a little frustrated. How was I going to get three whole sixminute newscasts from this mess? About halfway through the 8 a.m. (and final) newscast of the morning the strobe light indicating an incoming phone call started flashing. I was perturbed. "If they're listening to the radio, they should know I'm in the middle of a live newscast and can't answer the phone!" I harrumphed to myself as I reported that the economy was in the doldrums. Following my sign-off I left the studio to return to my office as Brad Ferguson, the on-air personality and general manager answered the persistent phone call. A couple of minutes later Brad appeared at my door, saying the caller had said that someone had crashed an airplane into one of the World Trade Center towers. We both thought the same thing: some idiot in a Cessna. We decided to break our usual format and run a two-minute news update at 9 a.m. As I started to put together a brief account of what had happened, bits and pieces of frightening news began to pour across the wire, and just kept coming. The second crash at the World Trade Center, the crash at the Pentagon, a crash in Pennsylvania, hijackings from

Boston and Dulles, Towers 1 then 2 go down, President Bush was on Air Force. One. We stayed with the hourly updates into the afternoon. It was impossible to relay all the events in such short increments. On the Public Radio e-mail network, hundreds of stations across the country sent notice they were abandoning their regular formats and going to total coverage of the attacks. Our staff and management collaborated to decide how we would handle the horrific developments. I asked whether we should go with the news. To my surprise, program director Kent Anderson decided to stay the course with our usual classical music programming. His reasoning was that news of the tragedy was everywhere. "We have to keep the music coming," he said. "Our listeners and members know this is what we do. They need us remain consistent. Classical music provides solace when people need it most." I thought perhaps the magnitude of these events superceded our need for consistent programming. Kent shared with me that, a couple of days after the Oklahoma City bombing, as the rescue operation was still fully underway, the station received a phone call from a rescue worker at ground zero. He thanked us for continuing with the classical music. He said that during his precious breaks he tuned his Walkman to 90.1 and was able to escape the devastation for a few wonderful minutes. Early last week the station received a "Thank You" card from one of our members, with her monthly pledge payment enclosed. In the card she had written, "I wanted to send an extra special thank you to each of you. Last Tuesday after the terrorist attacks, KCSC was the only radio station I could find that was playing music between all the news reports. What a relief to find some music amid the chaos. For me, the classical music you played provided a gentle, hopeful reminder of the beauty and creativity of humanity, to balance out the unbelievable horror and destruction." I guess sometimes the best you can do is what you do best.

"I thought we played a lot better, particularly in the first 30 minutes of the game," UCO coach Mike Cook said. "We came out with a purpose and took control early, which is what we wanted to do, then we didn't let down in the second half. It was a good win for us and now we have to turn around and get ready for a good Southern Colorado team to come in here Sunday.' The first three Broncho shots were all goals, and were all made by Brown. Just a little over a

minute into the contest, Brown capitalized on a perfect lead pass from Courtney Lindsey, putting the Bronchos up 1-0.Four minutes later Brown found herself one on one with the goal keeper and she won the battle putting the Bronchos at 2-0. Brown would strike again before the half was up, this time with help from Gina Mix and Valerie Gutierrez, to make the score 3-0. The Cowgirls first shot at a possible goal came at the 25th minute, but UCO goal keeper Amanda Hillier denied the shot for the first of her six saves in the game. Christina Folluo scored UCO's fourth goal in the second half off of a Gutierrez pass. It was Gutiezzez's second assist of the game. Two minutes later Brown scored her 60th career goal to cap off the shutout for the Bronchos. The Bronchos are now 8-2 on the season and riding a four game winning streak. Lindsey, Jessica Mathieu, Chelsea Holland and Jeorgia McGinty played key defensive roles in the game as the Bronchos had their fourth shutout of the year. Brown, has now scored three or more goals in the last four games, she has six three-goal games on the season and 10 in her career. At press time the Bronchos were scheduled to host Southern Colorado at noon on Sunday, Sept. 30. The game is to be held at Tom Thompson Field.

"We just made too many mistakes, both offensively and defensively, in the first half and we couldn't overcome that.

Despite the loss, Manning was able to set school records for completions with 30, and attempts with 44. He also passed for a school-record 484 yards, making him UCO's new all time career passing leader with 4,193 yards, breaking the mark of 4,187 yards set by Randy Page in the early 1980s.

ROTC gets a taste of combat during field exercises BY BRANDI L. MARKS

Staff Writer

elonging to the Reserve Officer's Training Corps (ROTC) usually constitutes three mile runs before dawn and hitting the ground for push-ups in front of an unhappy drill sergeant, but ROTC cadets recently had more fun than usual with their training. Thirty-three cadets from UCO's ROTC unit participated in marksmanship tests, grenade assault courses, and scaled a 60 feet rappel tower at the annual Fall Field Training Exercise (FIX) Sept. 21 and 22. At one station, cadets got their first taste of firearms by practicing with the M-16 rifle, the main weapon of the U.S. Army, Captain Matthew Ingram said. Primary Marksmanship Instructor Sgt. Robert Williams said, "It gives them a chance to see what it's really all about, and remind them of the skills it takes to fire a weapon." The biggest thrill for cadets came from the rappel tower station, said Williams, who instructed them in proper technique. He urged them to face fears by stepping over the edge of the tower. He said while it was fun, it was also very advanced in mental training. The weekend was part of ROTC's main goal to give cadets the skills they need to succeed, Ingram said. "It's not about firing weapons, but developing leaders." Contracted ROTC cadets like Senior Stephen Bussell are paid by the U.S. Army for serving at training exercises like FTX during their last two years in ROTC. Ingram said this type of training is referred to as management skills in the civilian

Strange stories from around the United States FROM WIRE REPORTS

Associated Press HURON, Ohio (AP) — Elvis left the building in a huff. An Elvis impersonator has been charged with punching another person in the jaw in a dispute over whether he should have been paid for his performance, police said. Timothy Baker, 53, of Greenville, was charged with assault. A Huron Healthcare Center worker called police Tuesday, saying he had been assaulted, Huron police Chief Randy Glovinsky said. Baker demanded to be paid after his performance at the nursing home, but the employee said they had no agreement to pay him, police said. Baker then punched the employee in the jaw, Glovinsky said. The employee declined medical attention. There was no telephone listing for Baker in Greenville. Huron Healthcare officials declined to comment.

VAN BUREN, Ark. (AP) — A burglar took a car stereo and amplifier from a tire shop but left his wallet behind, making it easy for police to find him. Mark Wayne Toon, 24, of Fort Smith was held on suspicion of breaking or entering, theft of property and criminal mischief after he was picked up Wednesday. Tuesday morning, police found his wallet at the Van Alma Tire Center. Sometime during the night, someone vandalized the shop and also broke into a car. Toon was arrested Wednesday after a traffic stop. When questioned about the theft and vandalism, Toon admitted that he was responsible, according to a Crawford County sheriff's report. Another man was arrested in the same incident later.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP)

— A 39-year-old man is accused of breaking into more than 40 offices, stealing computers and leaving a trail of candy wrappers and soda cans. The burglar often broke into vending machines or raided office stashes of junk food, said Cpl. Don Kelly, a Baton Rouge police spokesman. "He had a very sweet tooth," Kelly said. Timothy Michael Albritton was arrested outside the state 1st Circuit Court of Appeal at 4 a.m. Sept. 6 by Department of Public Safety police, Kelly said. A stolen van was parked nearby, he said. Albritton was booked as a felon in possession of a firearm, and with unauthorized use of a movable, possession of drug paraphernalia, illegal carrying of a weapon and driving with a switched license plate. Since then, city police have booked him in 38 other burglaries, and East Baton Rouge Parish sheriff's deputies have booked him in six. The van had been stolen in a business burglary being investigated by the Sheriff's Office, Kelly said. Surveillance videos linked him to other burglaries, said Capt. Randy Keller, commander of the sheriff's armed robbery and burglary division. "He was the proverbial oneman crime wave," Keller said. "He's been causing us a lot of damage." Since the initial arrest, Albritton has been booked on a total of 44 counts of simple burglary, five of felony theft, three of misdemeanor theft, six of attempted simple burglary, three of unauthorized use of a moveable and two of criminal damage to coin-operated machines. The sheriff's office investigation started in July, Keller said. Investigators think Albritton may have sold the stolen items to businesses in the Baton Rouge area, using some kind of cover story to make the sales appear legitimate. Now detectives want to find that equipment, Kelly said.

Anyone who comes forward voluntarily, tells police about buying the equipment and returns it so police can return it to its rightful owners will not be prosecuted, Kelly said. People who bought the stolen equipment can call the Baton Rouge Police burglary division at 225-389-3824.

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) — A city man has been charged with reckless burning after police say he set fire to a teddy bear he claims was "possessed." Police said Lucson Aladin, 32, a teddy bear in his back yard Sunday as part of a voodoo ritual because he believed it was possessed and he was trying to rid it of evil spirits. Aladin was charged with reckless burning. Firefighters had responded to a report of a brush fire at the Aladin's home Sunday night and found the teddy bear burning in the back yard. "He said he was burning this bear because it was possessed," said police Sgt. Kevin Goettel, head of the East Side district. "He was performing a voodoo ritual to rid it of this evil spirit."

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina's newest children's museum will be home to the official world's largest rubber band ball. EdVenture Children's Museum in Columbia is listed on page 160 in the 2002 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records as the record holder. With the help of thousands of Midlands students and business partners, EdVenture broke the record by building a 4-foot-4inch by 4-foot-6-inch ball weighing 2,450 pounds. The old record was 2,008 pounds. The ball is on display at IceLand USA in. Ballentine until the EdVenture building is complete in early 2003. ♦ from AP Wire Reports

Math tutoring makes the grade with struggling students By J.W. MCBEE

Staff Writer

or students whose math grades aren't adding up the solution is now here. UCO is offering free college algebra tutoring from 1 to 3 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the Math and Computer Science Building, Room 107. Six pre-service secondary education tutors provide the algebra instruction. Three students are available on each day for tutoring. They are Jennifer Bein, Christine Feller, Chris Gehringer, Gokhan Kurt, Peggy Priggemeier and Emily Rigdon. In addition to instruction, free food is offered during the sessions. "You get person to person [instruction] versus a classroom environment. Plus you get your own personal questions answered," Feller

said UCO has 15 sections of college algebra, with about 500 students enrolled. "Nationwide, college algebra doesn't have a high pass ratio," said Dr. Dana S. Craig professor of math and statistics. The tutoring is part of the math class, Methods of Teaching Secondary Mathematics, section 4843 and is overseen by Craig. "We just started this tutoring last week. It gives students the chance to sit down with someone other than a teacher," said Bein, a senior secondary math education major. Lessons include instruction on the TI-83 graphing calculator. "One of the things that we are addressing is the use of graphing calculators," said " Students taking the SAT and the ACT exams are

allowed to use them." Math students utilizing the class commented on the help they are receiving.
