Student organizations on campus started voter registration recently in preparation for upcoming national primary elections.

The Democratic Socialists plan to rotate the campus clubs that run their registration tables.

Clay Webber, president of the Democratic Socialists, said that the Women's Studies Club and the Philosophy Club are two of the campus organizations that could run their tables.

"It's all about presenting information to people and trying to get more people registered," Webber said.

Tom Taylor, executive director of the Young Democrats, said voter registration is a major project for them this semester. The group plans to hand out registration cards in the dorms, work with professors to get cards distributed in class and setting up a table on campus to give people another opportunity to register.

"At all our meetings and everywhere I go, we strongly support voter registra-

tion," said College Republicans president, Kyle Houts.

"At our meetings, we will almost always carry voter registration cards for new members wanting to join," he said.

Houts said the group hopes to have 50 newly reg. istered Republicans on campus. "Granted that's a major task but achievable nonetheless," Houts said.

Voter registration deadline is around Jan. 3, 2004.

The Vocal Oklahomans in Civil Engagement (VOICE) is challenging Oklahoma colleges to register the most voters on their campuses on Oct.1 and 2 for the title of 2003- 2004 VOICE Voter Registration Champion and a concert by the Oklahoma band, Spider Douglas. • There are currently 15 colleges and universities hosting special activities and providing registration booths encouraging students to become registered voters.

The winning campus will be selected based on the percentage of student voters registered compared to total campus enrollment.

MBA Leadership Council opens communication for business dept. faculty, students The MBA Leadership Council convenes every Thursday acting as a liaison between students and faculty members to strengthen College of Business.

Bryon Will, one of four MBA council members, said that the group is trying to find ways to provide students with the tools they need to conduct themselves in the business world.

Dr. Tom Boyt, dean of the College of Business, started the council last spring.

"Most other universities have an MBA program, and the dean wanted to establish an MBA program here as well, and now we're trying to go in and make it stronger," Will said.

The council started. when the dean and the MBA director selected Will, Steve Wilson and Linsey Bandey, to be on the council. Jamie Zrbenec joined the council this past fall.

"Were going to get more indepth in terms of personal contact between the students in the next few weeks. We're going to try to have small social events at least once a month," Will said.

Will said the council is going to try to get closer to MBA students to gain knowledge about what they are expecting from UCO's MBA program and what changes need to be instituted.

"We're going to use that feedback and take that to the dean and see what we can do from there," he said. "Were also going to visit with the faculty members to see what their views are as well to facilitate their jobs."

"We're part of this to make this one of the best MBA program in the state, so students will strive to be a part of it and make the best of the MBA program," Jamie Zrbenec said.

Steve Wilson said the MBA council is a great opportunity to meet people. Members of the council take a leadership role and work with the dean to generate more student involvement.

"Any MBA student with good standing can apply to be on the council, but they need to be able to commit time to the council," Will said.

The next round of applicants will be chosen next spring, 2004. Students interested in joining need to submit an application with an attached resume to Dean Boyt.

Applicants are required to be MBA students with good standing.

For more information on the council, look for their upcoming web site on the College of Business web site at httpWwww.busn.ucok.edu/.

College tends to put on pounds

by Rachael Tully Staff Writer A recent study from by the U.S. Department of Agriculture describes the diets of college students as poor and unhealthyThe federal Food and Drug Administration reports that 120 million Americans are overweight.

This cultural trend is also being seen on American college campuses.

With pizza for breakfast, ice cream for lunch and cheese fries for dinner, the average college student gains 4.2 pounds their freshman year.

"When you move away and go to college, you have no one to cook for you," said. Lyndsay Cooken, junior dietetics major. "Students gain weight because they look to fast food for convenience."

The Institute of Food Technology (IFT) reports that the average American eats out once in every four meals.

"When you are constantly on the run, sometimes fast food is your only option," said Lindsey Willson, freshman physical therapy major Sheena Miraglio, freshman business major, said she grabs fast food at least three times a week.

"I am busy all during the day," she said, "Sometimes the only time I find to eat is late at night."

Restaurants are also increasing food portion sizes, reported the IFT. In effect, the average daily caloric intake is up 24 percent from the 1970s.

This increase is "supersizing" many students' waistlines.

"When you come to college, you gain many freedoms," said Dan Ross, sophomore biology major. "One of the freedoms is being able to eat whatever and whenever you want."

The USDA study found that students gained weight by eating too many high complex

carbohydrates and foods high in fat and sodium from fast food restaurants.

The study revealed male students tended to lack fruit and milk products in their diets, while females needed more vegetables in their diets.

Burgers, fries, pizza and Mexican dishes were the foods Americans ordered most frequently last year, the IFT reported.

"Taco Bell is my favorite fast food," Miraglio said.

A recent CollegeClub.com survey found that the average college student eats pizza three to four times a month and that three out of four students have access to a pizza place on campus.

To avoid the dreaded "freshmen fifteen" students are enrolling in nutrition courses in record numbers.

Genny Honea, coach of women's softball, said that she recommends her athletes to take a course in nutrition.

"With nutrition education, students will be encouraged to eat healthier," she said. "The right nutrition leads to healthy performance."

Dr. Jamie Hooyman, assistant professor of kinesiology and health studies, recommends that students avoid sugars and fats late at night.

"Lots of students snack while they study late," she said. "Fruits or vegetables offer students a healthier snack instead of candy or chips."

Hooyman also recommended that students drink water instead of soda and eat grilled food instead of fried.

Sara Ivon, public relations major, said some college students looked to food to ease social and academic pressure.

"When you're in school, you are under constant pressure," she said. "It is easy to become insecure in a big, new environment like college."

AP News Analysis Same political scandal, different roles for party members

By DAVID ESPO AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON (AP) _ In the rnystery of the CIA operative's leaked identity, the script is familiar, but the political roles are reversed.

This time, unlike during the Clinton era, the Democrats clamor for an outside investigation to probe sensational-sounding charges involving the White House. And the Republicans argue the Justice Department is capable of handling the matter on its own.

"You have special counsels if you think the administration is trying to cover up or obstruct justice or is not interested in this issue," said House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. "It is quite obvious to me that the White House and the administration are very upset about this issue," added the Texan _ who once pressed for an independent counsel to investigate alleged fundraising abuses by President Bill Clinton.

"This is not just a leak. This is a crime, plain and simple," countered New York Senator Charles Schumer, who has become the Senate Democratic point man on the issue. Events thus far "sow seeds of doubt about the fairness and honesty of Justice's investigation," he said, adding that his demand for an outside investigation didn't conflict with his desire to let the old independent counsel law lapse a few years ago.

The new controversy _ stoked energetically by Democrats _ marks the first major flare-up of ethics-based politics since President Bush took office more than two years ago. He campaigned on a pledge to bring "the highest standards of conduct to the highest office in the land," running against Al Gore, vice

president in an administration that was investigated by outsiders exhaustively and expensively.

That brief, explosive era of investigations culminated in a report by Kenneth Starr that led to Clinton's inipathment in the House and acquittal on two charges in the Senate _ an experience so searing that Congress allowed the law permitting appointment of independent counsels to expire.

In the current case, the Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into the source _ possibly from inside the White House _ of the leak of the name of a CIA officer. Bush has directed his White House staff to cooperate fully, and he expressed confidence Tuesday in the Justice Department.

The July disclosure of the intelligence officer's identity by syndicated columnist Robert Novak came shortly after her husband, former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, undermined Bush's claim that Iraq had tried to buy uranium in Africa. In what turned out to be a major embarrassment, Bush acknowledged he could not back up his statement.

With Bush's poll numbers already dropping, Democrats have moved quickly in the current situation. Republicans have responded somewhat defensively, not knowing where the facts lie. The controversy has begun taking on the characteristics of a political battle with similarities to the Clinton era.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi called during the day for a special counsel, seconding a demand made on Monday by Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle. Schumer and others went to the Senate floor with non-binding legislation on the subject, and then argued for it with allusions to Richard Nixon's Watergate.

The eight Democrats on one Senate committee put White

House Chief of Staff Andrew Card on notice to make sure that "all White House records, and all relevant personal records" be considered relevant to the case.

In the House, Democrats announced that Wilson, the operative's husband, would attend their weekly closed-door caucus on Wednesday and then field questions from reporters afterward.

That guaranteed a national forum for the man who first charged the leakers worked for the White House.

Bush sought to reassure the country that the Justice Department could handle the situation. And Ed Gillespie, the chairman of the Republican Party, appeared on CNN during the afternoon to say that Wilson is a political foe of the White House.

"What we're dealing with, lest folks mix this up with politics, is we're dealing with a crime," said Senator Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat.

Both sides scurried to find long ago comments that conflict with current sentiments.

"These are the people that asked for the abolishment of the special counsel" law, Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and a veteran of the Clinton impeachment wars, said of the Democrats. "Let's give the Justice Department a chance to do their job. Anything else is politics."

Within hours, White House critics served up a rebuttal of sorts, in the form of a comment Graham had made on television in 1999, when Clinton was in office.

"Any time you have an attorney general asked to investigate their boss, you've got a conflict of interest," he said then. "So you need a mechanism to allow an investigation of a high government official to occur that will have credibility."

How do you feel about voting?

Of course its important.

Without voting there is no democratic government."

"I believe voting is important."

"Seems pretty important. I mean, they couldn't get elected without voters."

"I think it's important but I think people need to know what they're talking about."

Ten-hut"

is a two-and-a-half hour time limit to find as many points as possible. The cadets contend with two rounds of this Land Navigation Exercise — Day Land Navigation, and Night Land Navigation.

There was a bunch of pondering over maps and points with rulers and pens, deciding where to go, which way to go, who plotted the points and whether they were right or wrong.

A point that's off just a hair on the map translates into a huge difference in the field.

"It's basic stuff, but it's a good skill to know," said Craig Neeley, an Interdisciplinary Studies major at Oklahoma Christian and the leader of his assigned group during the trial.

Neeley knows his stuff. He attended the National Advanced Leadership Camp at Ft. Lewis in Washington where cadets are scrupulously tested over their navigation skills. In the Day Land Navigation portion of the test, they were required to find 5 of 8 points in the rough mountainous terrain of Washington state, and 3 of 5 at night. Of the 13 total points, Neeley only missed one.

"It evaluates how well the cadets are trained in land navigation. It's all about how well you can find a point in the thick," saidTrevor Sadler, Psychology senior and member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity at Central said He went on to say that the cadets who had a hard time with the exercise would have to continue practicing their navigation methods every week for the rest of the year to get them ready for Ft. Lewis, which' is the real deal.

Day 2 — Guns, Guns and Grenades After a good night's rest — the term 'rest' used loosely — the cadets headed out to the Edmond Police Department gun range.

Photos and story

One civilian's weekend with the Broncho Battalion.

Day 1 — Field Training Exercise A breezy afternoon at Arcadia. Several rows of cadets in fatigues in razor straight lines and the buzz and crackle of a voice coming out of a distant walkie-talkie.

This weekend, while most students enjoyed time off from school — perhaps taking in a movie or grabbing a stool at the nearest bar — the men and women of Central's ROTC Broncho Battalion tested themselves by taking part in a Field Training Exercise in the badlands of Arcadia Lake.

The weekend was planned. On their arrival, a mass of cammo piled out of the white vans with big rucksacks slung over their backs and plenty of reserves of water. It would be needed.

The Field Training Exercise, or "FTX" as it is affectionately referred to by the cadets, requires the use of directional orientation with the surroundings, logical reasoning and loads

"A soldier needs to be proficient with all the weapons he may carry," said Major Matt Ingram. By the end of the day, if the cadets weren't already familiar with the weapons, they'd at least have a good handle on them.

The purpose behind the practice in disassembling the weapon is to prepare the cadets for the possibility that the weapon might jam in combat, Ingram said. It gives them more options to rectify the situation instead of just jerking at the chamber, and also, it makes it easier to clean.

There are about six pieces that come off of the M-249 which, to the layman, looks like a jumbled mess of springs and metal piled together on the ground. No way of ever getting the gun back together in working order.

That's what separates the Broncho Battalion from the layman. The knowledge of the scheme of the gun, calmly starting at one end and working their way forward, leaving a completed piece of polished gun in front of them — a method to the madness.

At the Ranger Chalk-4c, which is a competition that, tests ruJ, caclevs,s1Ols weapops knowledge, the cadets usually get the gun disassembled, reassembled and check to see if everything works properly all in about a minute.

Meanwhile at the gun range, Master Sergeant Santos instructs the cadets as they squeeze off rounds out of the magazine of an M-14 Urban Assault Rifle at a little man on a piece of paper at the end of their sights for Basic Rifle Marksmanship.

The purpose of this finger-trigger exercise is to give the cadets a chance to zero in the sights of the gun, and get an approximation of their .

own "Battle Sight Zero."

Everyone looks down the barrel of a gun differently, so a gun zeroed in for someone else is going to be different for another. Battle Sight Zero is an individual's own personal sight settings, so he can be sure he'll hit what he's firing at.

To get their "Battle Sight Zero," the cadets shoot three rounds out of their M-14 to get a shot pattern on the target and change the sight's aperture fittingly until its zeroed in.

Eventually the individual knows how many clicks of the aperture need to happen to get his own Battle Sight Zero. It's all memorized by heart so the cadet can pick up a weapon and have it perfectly sighted in for him no matter what gun it is.

On the grenade course, cadets were taught the proper way to throw a grenade. For the record — Rambo does NOT throw a grenade properly.

Finally the men and women of the Broncho Battalion sprint through a course, jumping rotting logs and dodging, dangling branches.

Huffihg ,and p,ufftng,.tI:ley come upon 'different scenarios — behind bunkers, stretched out behind logs and finally swim-crawling 20 feet to get behind a small wooden shield to toss the last grenade through a small square a good distance in front of them. This takes stamina.

At the end of my stay with the Broncho Battalion I needed a huge oxygen tank to wheel around with me for the rest of the weekend — and I didn't do nearly as much. Getting to squeeze off a few rounds through an M-14 did compensate though. But next weekend, its back to a movie and a seat at the nearest bar for me.

Chattin' around the cooler with Brandon Chatmon IOU opens Big XII play at Iowa State, OSU should

cniise and K-State/Texas is the game to watch After a week off, let's look at this week's games as Big XII action begins. Last week was a snoozer except for the )ayhawks spanking of this year's pretender Missouri.

Louisiana-Lafayette at Oklahoma State: Rashaun Woods blew up against SMU, SEVEN TOUCHDOWN CATCHES! He was goin' off. Woods should just take the night off after that performance, there's no way he's topping that this weekend. Then again could UL-Lafayette be better than SMU, probably not. Could Rashaun hit double digits???

Big XII game of the week: Kansas State at Texas: The Wildcats lost to Marshall at home. The Longhorns lost to Arkansas at home. At least the Razorbacks are undefeated, Marshall just lost to Troy State. Don't even mention the backup quarterback, Marshall was playing with their number two also. With Roberson's health still in doubt, the Longhorns know if they lose this one their season could get bad enough that Mack might need to think about a 24-hour security force.

Prediction: OSU 52, UL-Lafayette 17.

Prediction: Texas 27, K-State 21.

Oklahoma at Iowa State: The Cyclones are coming off a loss to Northern Illinois and OU's been practicing against each other.

Advantage: OU. Granted, UNI is a good team but the. Sooners are must be looking forward to this game just because it probably won't be as hard as a bye week. The Sooners goal has to be to get out of this game healthy for the Red River Shootout. Look for the impact of the transfer of Brent Rawls to start to really show this weekend... yet, somehow they'll find a way to win.

0.4-444,41*-'

National game of the week: Tennessee at Auburn: The Vols were really impressive as the walking into the swamp and barbecued some Gator. Auburn was really impressive when... they hadn't played a game yet. The only chance the Tigers have is if their defense scores some points because their offense has yet to prove anything against a quality team. UT has already shown they can go into someone else's house and handle their business.

Prediction: OU 30, Iowa St. 10.

Bronchos look for fifth win

by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer The unbeaten UCO football team hopes they have a little magic left over from last week's win as they host long time Lone Star Conference rival Southwestern for homecoming Saturday at 2 p.m. in Wantland Stadium.

Despite commanding a 52-23'5 lead in a series that dates back to 1905, the Bronchos enter Saturday's game riding a three game losing streak verses the Bulldogs that includes a 37-36 loss in Edmond two years ago.

Even harder to swallow has been the Bronchos 24-21 loss last season in Weatherford when placekicker Scott Poole nailed a 40-yard field goal on the final play to give SWOSU the win despite a 21-7 UCO lead in the second quarter.

The Chuck Langston era has gotten off to a positive 4-0 record but the coaches know you can't take anyone lightly in the mighty LSC, particularly coming off of a tough 24-21 victory last week against Texas A&M-Commerce in which the offense managed only 136 total yards.

"This is obviously a big game

for us," said offensive coordinator Mike Monroe. "Last week proved that you can't take anyone lightly.

It's going to be a battle."

Last weeks win was the worst total offensive performance since netting only 80 yards against Northeastern State in the 2000 finale.

The performance was uncharacteristic for a Broncho offense that is averaging 325.2 yards in total offense per game (165.8 rushing, 159.5 passing).

"We did not execute as well as we have been," said UCO offensive coordinator Mike Monroe.

"We didn't block as well up front or pass and catch as well."

Monroe and the offense are staying positive this week in practice while working on the little things.

"We went back to some of the basics this week," said Monroe.

"We are a good offensive football team. We just need to do the little things correct and we will be alright."

Despite a struggling offense, the UCO defense stepped up in a big way against TAMU-C holding them to 75 yards on 22 plays in the second half and forcing seven

turnovers.

Senior cornerback Dwight DeVaughn was named LSC North Division Defensive Player of the Week for his performance.

DeVaughn recovered a fumble that set up a UCO touchdown, intercepted a pass on the Lions' final possession to seal the win, and added five tackles with a pass broken up.

Sophomore free safety Anthony Byrd also had a big game with a team-high eight tackles along with an interception and 30-yard return that set up UCO's first touchdown of the game. Byrd currently sits atop the defensive state sheet in total tackles with 39.

The Bulldogs come into Wantland Saturday looking to pick up their first league win of the season. SWOSU opened the season 2-0 but since has lost their last two, both against LSC opponents.

SWOSU is averaging 392.8 yards a game and giving up 312.

Their 312 ypg balances out pretty well at 156.2 passing and 155.8 rushing.

The Bronchos have moved up six spots in the latest NCAA Division II poll moving up to 18 in the AFCA rankings.

Prediction: Tennessee 34, Auburn 24.

Women's Golf team wins third at Invitational

by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor The UCO women's golf team finished third in the Tarleton State Coca-Cola Dinosaur Invitational held on Sept. 29 and 30 in Glen Rose, Texas. Led by three top-10 finishers, the Bronchos shot a 619 in the two-day tournament.

UCO shot a final round 304 on the par-72 Apache course at Squaw Valley Country Club. The host

team from Tarleton State won the tournament with 610 total, with St. Mary's grabbing second with a 617.

Freshman Kelly Callison finished in a fifth-place tie with a 152 total. Junior Claire Sturdivan was eighth with a 153 and sophomore Melissa Martin tied for ninth with a 154 to give the Bronchos three golfers among the tournament's leaders.

UCO finished the first

day in third place with a 315 team total, eight shots behind TSU. Sturdivan shot 78 after a 42 on the front nine then had a strong finish with a 36 on the final nine. Jessica Madden, Callison and Martin were one shot behind at 79.

The Bronchos then finished strong with the 304 thanks to strong finishes from Callison with a 73, Martin and Sturdivan with a final round 75 from each.

by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer UCO women's soccer attempts to remain undefeated when they take on the Midwestern State Lady Indians during homecoming weekend Sunday at 3 p.m. on Tom Thompson field.

The Lady Indians return eight starters from a 2002 team that finished third in the LSC with a 5-2-1 league record. Their program posts a 62-33-6 record since it's formation five years ago.

Central leads the series with Midwestern 5-2.

"They (Midwestern) are always a solid team and are well coached," said head UCO soccer coach Mike Cook. "It's always a good rivalry. It is definitely' a game we want to be prepared for."

The LSC is a conference that has gained national respect and coach Cook knows you can't take anyone lightly in the conference

"Our whole focus is to win the conference so every LSC game is a big game for us," said Cook. "Everyone in the conference gets up for everyone so any team could beat anyone else in the conference at anytime. We need to be ready to play."

Central is riding high on a six game winning streak having shutout their last three opponents. The defending LSC champion Bronchos are 6-2-1 on the season with a 1-0 conference record.

Leading the defense for the Bronchos is Stephanie Gulisao who was named LSC Defensive Player of the Week Tuesday for her performance in the two games last week.

Gulisao, a junior fullback from Claremore, was a force in Central's two shutout wins last week verses Oklahoma Christian winning 3-0 and Colorado StatePueblo 2-0.

Penny Wascovich prepares to serve in the Bronchos win over Dallas Baptist on Sept. 30.

Bronchos defeat Dallas Baptist, improve to 10-4

by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor For the first time in a month, the UCO volleyball team hosted a volleyball match as they defeated Dallas Baptist (3-11) on Sept. 30.

The Bronchos improved their record to 10-4 on the season after taking three of four games in the match.

The first game was a battle back and forth as neither team took a significant lead until the end when the Bronchos went on a 8-4 run to close the game after the score was tied at 22.

In the second game, Central began to find their rhythm as they rallied back from a early deficit. The powerful kills of Tori Walker and Kristen Smith had the Lady Patriots on the defensive throughout most of the Broncho rally helping

UCO take a decisive 30-20 victory.

The third game was the best of the night as the Bronchos fought for the sweep and Lady Patriots refused to quit. UCO subbed frequently throughout the game as several players got meaningful court time.

DBU took the early lead and maintained a lead throughout the majority of the match.

Responding to the deficit, the Bronchos fought back late in the match tying the score at 29. But the Lady Patriots refused to give up a game they fought so hard for and took the next two points to win their lone game of the match, 31-29.

In the fourth game, UCO left nothing to chance. The Bronchos jumped out to a significant lead early and the Lady Patriots seemed to give up as

UCO kept attacking offensively,. UCO hit .406 in the game as they completely dominated DBU to take the match, 30-11.

UCO had one of their best matches offensively as they hit .291 as a team with 10 blocks.

Walker was outstanding, hitting .615 with 19 kills, 12 digs and three blocks, while Ashley Hemphill hit .379 with 13 kills. Smith had some strong attacks resulting in 11 kills. Stacey Meek contributed 59 assists and a team-high 14 digs in the win.

The Bronchos open their Lone Star Conference home schedule as they host Cameron tonight at 7p.m.

The Bronchos are the defending Lone Star North champions and were selected as the preseason favorite to repeat.

Self employment Keating claims clergyman spread rumors about him just one great idea away

By RACHEL ZOLL AP Religion Writer

By JUSTIN PALK Carroll County Times WESTMINSTER, Md. (AP) -Keith Forney had been thinking of opening his own business for a while, but it was the discovery that Westminster was a college town without a comic shop that made the idea gel.

For Tammy Owens, it was the serendipity of a co-worker corning to her with the idea of opening their own business just as her employer was looking to get out of the land-clearing business.

Patricia Walters of Eldersburg had been toying with the idea of starting a business for years when her divorce moved it off the back burner and prompted her to pursue her plans in earnest.

A different prod moves every entrepreneur to start his or her own business, but all face similar challenges while taking their businesses from idea to reality.

For most people who are going to start a business, one problem or question tends to dominate the process, and five or six others are less prominent, but still important, said Doug Howard, president of Business Development Group, which sponsors Start-up Carroll, a free service offering assistance to new entrepreneurs in Carroll County.

People looking to start their own business share common concerns such as whether the business will be profitable, where it will be, how the startup will be financed, whether to incorporate, how to arrange a lease and get suppliers, Howard said.

Financing is frequently the biggest stumbling block, he said.

Small businesses often don't last very long, Howard said, and they often don't have a lot of assets with which to secure a loan, which makes banks leery of loaning them money. Often, people have to leverage their largest asset - their home - to get things rolling.

Securing funding was one of the more difficult parts of starting her own business, Owens said.

For Forney and Walters, location was a central issue.

Forney said he knew he wanted to find something in the Westminster area so he could tap into the customer base at McDaniel College.

While entrepreneurs have common concerns, they also tend to forget the same thing. Like any project, opening a business will cost more and take more time than you originally anticipated, said Mike Fish, a counselor at the Small Business Development Cen ter.

Just ask Forney.

When he first looked at the

space in which he'd eventually open his business, he thought it just needed a coat of paint, he said. Of course, before he could paint, he had to fill in some holes in the walls, sand down the patches, put in a new phone jack and complete countless other little chores.

"That took longer and was more costly than I thought," he said.

For Forney, things worked out, but Fish said he advises people to build a cushion into their schedule and their budget, in case they fail a critical county inspection or in case they discover one more repair they need to do on their store.

Services like the SBDC and Start-up Carroll can make things easier for budding business owners. Owens said the SBDC had been very helpful to her as she started putting her company together.

Alternately, buying a franchise can simplify the process of easing into a business, which is one of the reasons Walters said she decided to go that route - she said she likes the "hand-holding feel."

And the state has also simplified things by streamlining the process of getting business licenses and tax identification numbers, putting many of the required forms on its Web page, some of which can be filled out online, although others still must be printed and mailed back.

Getting his business license and state tax ID number was one of the easier parts of the whole process, Forney said.

"If you run into the good people at the different agencies, they'll walk you right through it," he said.

Now, four months into running his own business, Forney said he enjoys the freedom that having his own store gives him.

He can respond more quickly to customers, he said, instead of passing a suggestion up to his supervisors and wondering whether they'll act on it. On the other hand, he said, he's got a lot more responsibility now.

"I'm everything from the president and CEO right down to the janitor," Forney said.

"Everything rests on me."

Financially, the store is doing better than he had anticipated, he said, although it will still be a long time before he could say he'll be better off than if he had stayed at a corporate job, working 9 to 5.

But it's been worth it, he said.

"From a personal standpoint, yes," Forney said. "I've enjoyed it, it's been rewarding."

Former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, who resigned this year as head of a watchdog panel on clergy abuse, has told a conservative Roman Catholic magazine that a clergyman tried to undermine him by circulating a letter that accused him of keeping a mistress.

Keating said the letter _ which eventually made its way to top American church leaders _ also claimed he never attended Mass.

"I was stunned and outraged," Keating said in an article he wrote for the October issue of the magazine Crisis. "Every word was a lie."

Keating recounted the incident as one of the events that led to his June resignation as chairman of the National Review Board.

U.S. bishops formed the lay panel in 2001 to monitor compliance with their new discipline policy on abuse, but Keating's pointed criticism of how dioceses had handled the crisis led some Catholic leaders to question whether he should be chairman. He stepped down after angering many in the church by saying bishops were as secretive as the Mafia.

Keating, through his spokesman Dan Mahoney, declined to elaborate on the article. Mahoney said the former gCkvernor wrote the piece now because, "he thought it was a good forum to get things out in the open."

Keating, who has been married for 31 years, did not reveal the name of the person who wrote the letter but said it was "purportedly written by the vicar general of Oklahoma City, a priest and the diocese's number-two official to his counterpart in

Chicago."

The Rev. Edward J. Weisenburger is listed in the 2002 Official Catholic Directory as the vicar general in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. The Rev. James A. Kastner is listed as co-vicar general.

Weisenburger released a statement Tuesday night saying Kastner is in a nursing home and "could not have been involved."

Regarding his own role, Weisenberger said only that, "I am unaware of Governor Keating contacting Archbishop (Eusebius) Beltran or myself about a letter purported to have been written by the vicar general of the Oklahoma City Archdiocese to the Vicar General of the Chicago Archdiocese, whom I do not know."

Asked in a phone interview whether he was denying having written the letter, Weisenburger declined to comment further.

Keating has clashed with Beltran, the archbishop of Oklahoma City, who accused the former governor of encouraging other Catholics to skip Mass and withhold donations to protest how bishops have handled abuse claims.

Keating denied making such a statement.

He said he suggested Catholics attend Mass and donate money in dioceses where bishops supported reform.

Sister Mary Ann Walsh, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, referred questions to the National Review Board.

Justice Anne Burke of Chicago, acting chairwoman of the board, confirmed that the letter containing the accusations against Keating had been sent to someone in the Archdiocese of Chicago and that Cardinal

Francis George sent a copy to her without comment.

"Obviously, he thought I should be aware of it," Burke said.

She did not know who else saw the letter and would not say who had signed it.

George, through his spokeswoman Mary McDonough, declined to say how he obtained the letter.

However, Burke said Keating misrepresented how the panel handled other issues.

She said Keating missed many of the board's monthly meetings, left early from some he did attend and "wasn't totally involved in the board's substantive work."

Keating said some board members resisted meeting with victims and claimed they had been impatient with parents he brought before them to discuss their abused son, who had committed suicide.

Burke said that was "absolutely wrong" and said any displeasure he had sensed was because he invited the couple to speak "without talking to the rest of us." Burke said she has repeatedly met with victims, as has the board, most recently at their July meeting in Chicago.

Keating also claimed that Bishop Wilton Gregory, president of the U.S. bishops, had asked him to trim the board's expenses and sought to shorten the length of time panel members served. Burke said board members don't have set terms, and that Gregory had said only that "the budget for the office was a lot more than they had anticipated."

Burke said she wasn't upset by what Keating wrote.

"We expected it," she said. "I suppose he wanted to explain why he resigned."

Racial profiling targets describe pain of double standard

By KELLY KURT Associated Press Writer TULSA, Okla. (AP) _ They shared nothing in common but feeling like targets _ the Iranian-American banned from her flight, the American Indian wh-tise -tribal tags seemed to draw police, the Muslim worried her children's fireworks might be taken as bombs.

They and others told their stories Tuesday at an Amnesty International hearing on racial profiling.

It was the third in a national series of public hearings the organization plans to use to push Congress to ban law enforcement from targeting people because of race or ethnicity.

In the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, "there's been sort of a blanket xenophobia develop," said Benjamin Jealous, director of Amnesty's U.S. Domestic Human Rights Program. "When people see police treating other people badly, they do it too."

Etti Arabzadeh wept as she recalled the April 2002 day she was turned away from her Dallas flight at Oklahoma City's airport.

The 63-year-old said that after her luggage and purse were searched by hand, a handheld metal detector was waved over her body.

"This is shameful to me," she said, shaking with tears, describing how the wand was waved between her legs "in front of everyone."

Even after being cleared, she was stopped short of boarding her flight

by airline personnel, she said.

National Guardsmen eventually were called and she was further detained without knowing why.

The airline denied her a ticket, even after she showed her American passport, she said.

"The only thing is my last name, because it's Arab, they torture me," said Arabzadeh, an Iranian native and U.S. citizen who has lived in this country for 25 years.

For American Indians, "racial profiling is a way of life," testified Louis Gray, an Osage Indian who is managing editor of the Native American Times.

He said he used to be stopped routinely by police for "no reason at all" but hasn't had a problem since he removed tribal tags from his car.

Law officers often patrol outside tribal religious gatherings and powwows, he said.

"Underneath all that is a disdain for tribal tags," Gray said. "Law enforcement seems to feel we're skirting the law" For Muslims in Tulsa, the problem is not local law enforcement but the fallout of national post-Sept. 11 policies, Sheryl Siddiqui of the Islamic Society of Tulsa told the panel.

The Tulsa community and law officers "came out in droves" to show Muslims support after the attacks, but nationwide "all Muslims wear the mantle of suspicion," she said.

She knows Muslims who have left the country because of fears the government might find their paper-

work out of order. Muslims with valid visas have been denied reentry into the United States, she said.

"Every time we travel, it's an opportunity to be interrogated," Siddiqui said.

Instead of the family's usual 4th of July fireworks celebration, she warned her children that fireworks in the hands of Muslims could be taken as bombs and explosives.

Racial profiling is against the law in Oklahoma, but Jealous said the state's highways "are notorious in civil rights circles."

In 2001, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol settled a federal lawsuit filed by black Army Sgt. Rossano Gerald, who alleged he and his young son were stopped and searched for more than two hours because of their race.

In 2000, a black Tulsa police officer became the first person to file a complaint under the state's antiracial profiling law.

Amnesty International officials said they invited city leaders and law enforcement to attend Tuesday's hearing and were disappointed when they did not show.

"It's very important that law enforcement's point of view be part of what Amnesty International is trying to do," said former federal Judge Timothy Lewis, moderator of the hearing.

Amnesty officials said they came to Tulsa because they wanted to represent the views of people in the nation's heartland.

The next hearing will be held Thursday in New York City. The first two were held in September in San Francisco and Oakland, Calif.

Central's Student Voice Since 1903

UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA

It was 1903.

Teddy Roosevelt was president. The U.S. population was 80.6 million.

Henry Ford put out the first automobile under Ford Motor Company.

The Wright brothers made aviation history in Kitty Hawk, N.C. The Boston Pilgrims defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-3 in the first World Series.

In the next 100 years, The Vista survived the largest depression in U.S. history and two world wars.

The Vista is published monthly by the students of the Territorial Normal School of Edmond, Oklahoma.

Per Year, 5o cents.

Single Copies, to cents.

We feel that in launching a magazine from the Edmond Normal we are meeting a vital need of the students of Edmond. Our alumni are many, our school is large and has varied interests, and life here has grown out of the academic stage. This condition calls for some organ that will keep the constantly increasing number of the alumni in touch with each other and with the present work of the school, that will help to bind the students into one body in loyalty to the college, that will promote its various interests, and that will give Some medium of expression for a larger spirit of culture and some influence for a broader activity among our students.

Such is the aim of THE VISTA. Part of the magazine is to be given to news of the alumni and happenings about the Normal, to athletics and all organizations and interests that go to make up the student life. It is with the end in view of giving expression to the best that college culture can produce in the way of humor, poetry, criticism, and story-telling, that we devote nearly half of the magazine to matter that in subject, form, and treatment aspires to be literary. This is a side that requires mtich coaxing and cultivation, and if we but bring out one thing that is of superior merit amid much that is mediocre, we shall feel that THE VISTA is worth while.

upper hand in battles of censorship and secrecy and has held its own in times of budgetary and economic uncertainties.

Through it all, The Vista has maintained its objective to be the pursuer of truth and democratic ideals.

Its objectives are clearly stated in a 1915 editorial: "The Vista's past is secure, but that butters no bread for the immediate and pressing present. It is with it we are most concerned. The Vista looks into the eye of its prevailing duty, that of first giving loyalty to Central, second, giving loyalty to Central and third, giving loyalty to Central with no mis-

givings. When you say loyalty to the institution that means unstinted support of its president, its faculty, its student body, its constituents, its all."

Eighty-five years later, The Vista's mission remains the same.

From literary magazine to social commentator to all of the above plus a news source, The Vista is still as solid as it was in November 1903.

A free newspaper can only be successful in a successful democracy.

Without a dedicated newspaper staff, supportive faculty and involved campus, neither a democracy nor a newspaper can succeed.

THE VISTA is to be a students' magazine and we hope that it will be received and supported enthusiastically by every student. Let each one take a personal pride and interest in it and assist in every way possible in making it one of the best school magazines in the West. We are fortunate in having among us a number who might write a poem, a short story, or a criticism, or who might give us news or information that is of value.

We hope that all will put forth their best efforts in contributions to this magazine.

--0— We lack genuine college spirit. Indifference kills interest in others. Often some enterprise falls through on account of this tone of indifference. One mark of a student body that is alive and progressive is the vigorous enthusiasm that Characterizes it in all its undertakings. Indeed this is an important part of the student's heritage, for in no other sphere do we have the privilige of expressing our enthusiasms and carrying them out.

From the usual college man's point of view, listlessness • and lack of energy on the part of a body of students betokens inferiority in all respects. With the proper college spirit there is no need that any of our enterprises should halt. Let us have the spirit that will bring success in athletics, in our literary societies, and in our magazine.

—0— The questions of county high schools and of making public school teachers part of the civil service are now being agitated quite extensively. Those who doubt the possibility and advisability of a county high school should make an investigation as to the success of the one in Logan County. While there would be many advantages in making the public school teachers a part of the civil service, the preponderance of argument thus far seems to be against such a change.

—0— We publish in this issue a poe.n by Mr. Edwin Latham Quarles, of Bowling Green, Virginia. Mr. Quarles has contributed poems to the "Smart Set" and other magazines, and we feel particularly fortunate in having him as one of the contributors to the initial

number of THE VISTA..

To the editors: Suits, 525 and up.

H. Hagen, Clothing made to order.

To the Vista Staff: It's hard to believe the The Vista is 100. May I say, "Happy Birthday, you've never looked better." And further, I would add my congratulations to all of you as you mark this historic milestone. Few American college newspapers can boast a century of service, and none can point to a finer record of achievement.

It is a humbling experience to walk across our campus and sense the decades of heritage that make possible all we do at UCO today. We tip our hats to those thousands of students who wrote the many thousands of stories, shot the photographs, drew the cartoons, did the editing and layout, and made the deadlines in order that our campus be informed. Much credit for the continuous quality of The Vista must go to our tradition of outstanding journalism faculty and campus paper advisers.

University administrators are often nervous about student-edited newspapers. Student reporters can be annoying and ask tough questions. Editors can raise troubling issues.

But that is as it should be. The Vista is, like many other learning centers at UCO, a place where our students test the reality of theories they learn. And the results of this testing always improves the clarity and quality of the education which our mission calls us to deliver.

So please enjoy the celebration of this historical moment for The Vista, remembering that you share in and pass on not only the continuity of a great newspaper, but that you also, as journalists, participate in a process which ensures the very freedoms which our nation values in its very heart: the freedom of thought and expression, and a commitment to truth.

Sincerely,

One hundred years ago in Edmond, Oklahoma Territory. Those were advertisements in a new publication.

The Vista, a monthly student magazine serving the Territorial Normal School, appeared in November. It consisted of 26 5 1/2" by 8 12" pages, with a light blue construction-paper type cover. It contained poetry, essays, literary criticism, editorial comment, faculty, athletic, alumni and other news. And many more of those wonderful ads.

Editor was Harvey 0. Shuff. Here's part of what he wrote in the first issue: "We feel that in launching a magazine from the Edmond Normal we are meeting a vital need of the students of Edmond."

Since that first issue, there have been hundreds of editors of The Vista, and its format has changed through the years.

Since the 1960s, it's been a part of the UCO Journalism Department, published twice a week, now as a broadsheet newspaper. Alumni of The Vista work at many Oklahoma and national newspapers and in numerous photography. advertising and public relations agencies and jobs throughout the region.

The current editor-in-chief is Audrey Dodgen of Deer Creek. She and managing editor Caroline Duke and their staff have produced this Centennial issue, just in time for UCO Homecoming.

Our journalism alumni reunion will be Saturday Oct. 4 after the game and we'll be distributing actual size reprints of the first Vista to the alumni.

Journalist and historian Reba Collins, who was my first journalism teacher at Central State years ago, tells me that while The Vista isn't the oldest student publication in the state, it is the oldest continuously published student publication.

Make no mistake about it; it is a student publication. Journalism faculty select the staff from applicants, but they are in charge. The Supreme Court of the United States has made it clear... faculty and administration can not dictate nor forbid content, nor exercise prior restraint over content. It, like the first Vista, is a student publication. As the current logo says, "The Student Voice Since 1903."

I'm proud of that, and our talented, hard-working students. They are journalists who bolster my faith in the future. Help me salute them and congratulate The Vista and its many alumni.

University of Central Oklahoma TI IF: VISTA

To our many guests, distinguished alumni and friends of The Vista: Welcome back!

Homecoming looks to be an exciting weekend this year, and we are glad that all of you could be here to enjoy it.

As you all know, this is the centennial issue of The Vista.

I want to offer my most sincere, heartfelt thanks to the following people for their various roles in the publication of this issue. I'll never be able to properly express the debt of gratitude I owe to them.

Caroline Duke, who is our Managing Editor and the driving force behind the collection of all the material presented here. Caroline worked tirelessly to ensure that we had enough copy and artwork to tell the story of The Vista's first century.

Dr. Terry Clark and the faculty and staff of the journalism department. They challenge us, encourage us and, when we need it, push us toward excellence. Our successes are a tribute to the way they've taught us.

I would like to thank our advertising sales staff from the very bottom of my heart. They worked harder, logged more hours and gave more effort than any of us could have asked.

Finally, I, along with the entire Vista staff, want to thank "Mother Vista" for keeping us fed, encouraging us, and generally watching out for our well being. She'll never know what she means to the newsroom.

I am extraordinarily proud to have the opportunity to be part of such a historic moment in this paper's history.

Today is truly a day for us to look to our future, while honoring the past that brought us here.

With that in mind, I ask that you look through these pages and remember the countless students who went before us, who wrote stories, oversaw layout, laid type and ran presses. Their accomplishments allowed this paper to withstand the test of time.

To all of you who are part of The Vista's rich heritage and proud tradition, we simply want to say, "Thank you."

To another hundred years,

A. century o ashion Fashion Finds with jiff Allen In celebration of our special centennial addition of The Vista I thought it would be fun to look at how much fashion has, and sometimes has not, changed through the past 100 years.

I will begin in with the 1920s and continue by decade to present times.

The 1920s were fun. Everyone was all about the booze, well I guess it wouldn't be fair to say everyone, but history books tell a lot about Rockefeller, railroads, and bars in the 20s. With money from the railroads flowing like the beer out of saloons, people spent their funds on clothes.

Flapper dresses, of course, were popular. They were great for showing movement of the body while dancing. Women in the 20s also wore silk blouses and beaded purses. Beaded shawls and teddies became popular during this time period as well. So did the classic coat with the fur collar.

The 1030s introduced slim pants and Chinese quilted jackets for women. They also wore coat and dress sets and piano scarves. Men began to wear double breasted suits and tuxedos.

The 40s brought with it more practical dress-wear. think they learned comfort should play a factor in fashion.

Women began wearing tailored suits, fuel skirts, and hand-knit tops. Trench coats became popular as at this time as well. The good suspenders were worn by the men in the 40s. It was a fashion trend then;

Do you remember wearing two or three different colors of socks at the same time and alternating them on each leg? How about the wearing tapered jeans and a t-shirt with the side of the shirt tied or wrapped in the plastic shirt holder at the side of your waist?

The 80s seemed to bring out a lot of sexy clothes.

Shoulders were hanging out of shirts, as were midriffs for the first time. It may have been the second time for those who lived in the 70s and smoked a lot of pot.

Miniskirts were still very popular at this time.

"More is better" seemed to have been the philosophy of that decade. Breast augmentations and bright makeup became natural for most women. I know, like either is natural.

Guys didn't do any better in the 80s. What was up with folding the bottom of the jeans then rolling them up? How dorky! And to compliment the rolled jeans, guys wore tight t-shirts. Oh, and let's not forget high tops. What were we all thinking?

The 90s didn't really introduce any styles. This decade pretty much repeated trends from earlier decades. Platform shoes, bellbottoms, fur collared coats, t-shirts, and miniskirts to name a few.

So far I'm happy with the fashions of the 21st century. There are so many different styles to choose from.

If you all keep reading my column, I'm sure this decade will be the best dressed of them all! (Smile) Happy reminiscing!

little did they know that a few years later, they'd be used to hold up chunky, old, men's pants.

The 1950s were more than just poodle skirts. The poodle skirt was actually worn only for special occasions. Folks then dressed a lot like we do now, at least the girls did. A-line skirts were quite popular in the 50s as were capri pants, or as they were called then, petal pushers, and cigarette pants.

Women also dressed in floral print dresses, swing coats, and leather jackets; but not all at one time...I hope. Charm bracelets were introduced in the 50s and the very popular present-time shoe, the stiletto heel was worn.

With the 60s came shorter skirts and less material overall. Miniskirts hit big at this time. Hand-crocheted dresses and shirt-and-skirt outfits became popular.

Men wore jeans, collarless jackets and bowling shirts.

"Yes, guys, you too can be stud-ly if you wear a bowling shirt!"

God bless the 70s, for that decade came out with so many styles we still wear today. T-shirts, bodysuits and halter-tops came out in the 70s. Pantsuits became quite popular at this time as well as flarelegged pants. Totally groovy, Baby! The seventh decade of the 20th century also introduced platform shoes, varsity jackets, fringed jackets, and dresses with exotic prints.

The 80s, I'm sure most of us remember. Girls, why did we wear huge, waterfall-like bangs? I hope that style doesn't come back around.

For the 80s decade I'd like to reminisce on what I remember, for I'm sure you all encountered the same styles. It'll be for a good laugh.

On Thanksgiving Day the Kingfisher and the Central Normal football teams met at Edmond in what proved to dbe a good game of football. Edmond kicked to Kingfisher at the beginning of the game. By fast playing Kingfisher advanced the ball across Edmond's goal line twice in the first half. No goal was kicked at the first touchdown; but at the second goal was scored. The most important feature of the first half was the fast playing of Kingfisher with which the Edmond team was unable to cope successfully. At the close of the first half the score stood 11 to 0 in favor of Kingfisher. In the second half it seemed that the home team had become thoroughly imbued with the spirit of football and both sides played fast from beginning to end of the half. Kingfisher scored another touch down in the last half, but failed to kick goal. When time was called Edmond was making fast progress toward the opponent'sgoal, and hadthe half lasted a little longer, the team would likely have scored. Campbell of the Edmond team was doing some exceptionally fine work when the game closed.

In fact Edmond's consistent ground gaining in both halves against such a strong team was the best evidence of the team's fast improvement. Captain Mahaffie was the main stay of the Kingfisher team.His repeated plunges through the line and the fine team work of the kingfisher eleven on the day. The final score was Kingfisher 16, Central Normal 0. The Normal team played a fine game and did well in consideration of its inexperience and the evident superiority of the Kingfisher team which has for three annual games prevented Normal from scoring. One pleasant feature of the game was the good feeling that existed between the two teams - a good feeling that was much in evidence at the informal reception given to the kingfisher team in the evening in the auditorium.

The first team of ladies' basket-ball played on the edmond grounds this season with an outside team took place on October 28 between Kingfisher and Edmond and resulted in a victory for the Normal team by a score of 17 to 14. From the outset the Edmond team had the advantage and held it until the close of the game. The accuracy with which Misses Coffee and Davis of the Normal team threw goals was something to be admired. In this respect they far outclassed the Kingfisher girls. In fact the entire Edmond team played good basket-ball. In the evening the teams met again in the delightful reception at the home of Mrs. Houston and talked it over. The line-up for Kingfisher was: goal-throwers, Pratt, Tibb, Kate Hoyt; centers, Brown, Fannie Hoyt; guards, White, Shaw (captain.) The line-up for Edmond was: goal-throwers, Coffey, Davis; centers, Perdue, Fleetwood; guards, Derr, Shaw.

CAPITAL

I

You often hear schools accused of being full of or without school spirit. To be without school spirit is regarded as bad. Central stands high in school spirit. The student body are of the best; they are enthusiastic, co-operative, harmonious, and ever ready to enter unanimously into the work of making school life happy, clean, and efficient. ***

"The student body of Central State Normal is made up of the best blood and brains in Oklahoma. They are not to be driven like so many cattle, not to be treated like outlaws or highwaymen.

This school made the city of Edmond what it is at present, and were it not for this same school, Edmond today would be nothing short of a `jerk-water' station.

Gentlemen, we may be ready for another outing one of these days, so we take this opportunity to tell you that no two-by-four officer will stop us in our fun. When we destroy property we pay for it when treated like gentlemen.

Sometimes people forget that they were young once and they also forget that students must relax once in a while." *** A Splendid Record The Vista begins another year. It is the oldest school paper in Oklahoma. All honor to those sturdy pioneers who shouldered the responsibility of starting a school paper in days destitute of material wealth. They were richer than they knew for in the red blood of determination they enriched Central State Normal School for all time to come.

It undoubtedly knows that loyalty is as William H. Taft said to a set of university pupils last commencement season, "the largest word in the vocabulary of real man or woman." It knows that its meaning can not permit division to enter.

When you say loyalty to the institution that means unstinted support of its president, its faculty, its student body, its constituents, its all.

The Vista speaking for the whole Central State Normal School sounds with a bungle blast the war note of this school in the 1915-1916 -"We are all One."

Orrritoriat Normal 'mini entintb, @Idallama

A Belated Valentine •• • •• • •• • ••• • •• • ••• "Yes, old Miss Telltale, I'll get even with you, see if I don't," ejaculated the indignant Tommy in the ears of sister Marguerite, who lay on the sofa dreaming day-dreams.

Marguerite's dreams were of such a nature that she wished to continue them. So thinking it policy to surrender to this rude stormer of her air-castles, she good humoredly said, "Run away, Tommy, like a good boy, and I'll give you a quarter to buy valentines with." Tommy pocketed the quarter and ran away quite like a good boy, but certainly with plans wholly foreign to a specimen of that order brewing in his mind. To be sure, the quarter came in very well, invested for other purposes than valentines, but he would be revenged!

Meanwhile, Marguerite, soothingly unconscious of the mischief afoot, lay back among the pillows and fancied the valentine she expected to receive, for had not Charley, noblest of men, hinted to her that she would get an unusual sort of valentine; one expecting an answer? And the answer was easily surmised from he look in the violet eyes. And thus she was held in revery till aroused by the mail carrier's whistle. There were piles of valentines, but as she hastily scanned them over, the well known writing was absent, for Tommy had been ahead. Indeed, that uncompromising youngster had early demanded his sister's mail at the postoffice, and having selected a certain package addressed in bold, handsome characters, put back the rest, for Tommy knew the writing, tho' he kept the fact to himself.

Once safely housed in his private resort, the smoke house, he opened the precious package to behold, amid "bushels and bushels" or tissue paper, a tiny box containing a solitaire diamond ring. A note was attached, which read: "My (the terms of address are considerately omitted) if you will accept my valentine with all that it means, let me see this on your hand at the reception tonight, etc."

Tommy carefully replaced the "rubbish" and hid the package behind the wood box. Then he cautiously tip-toed up to his sister's room to a pearl-studded letter case, from which he took a small addressed note. It had been written to Mr. Charles Lovejoy in a fit of anger, but then the author relenting, it was not sent; it must have answered Tommy's purpose elegantly, judging from the gleam in his eyes and his knowing wink as, bearing the stamp of the government and of numerous sticky fingers, it was dropped in the letter box.

His plans thus accomplished, he was much in Marguerite's society, and at once her abject slave, managing from behind the piano, however, to hear her anxiously musing: "I wonder why he didn't send it;" then with a flush, "perhaps he intends bringing it himself." An evening came she tried to shake off her persistent uneasiness with the thought that she would have a pleasant surprise at the reception.

And she did meet with a surprise, for instead of the words and looks she expected to receive from Charley, he merely glanced in her direction and flirted unmercifully with Miss Marvel the rest of the evening.

Unable to guess at the cause, Marguerite went home with a heavy heart under the gay exterior, and found sole guardian of the house - Tommy. Tommy, servile and meek, up at this late hour to keep the fire! Tommy removed her rubbers; Tommy stirred up the up the fire; Tommy brought her a drink; in fact she never had known what a dear little brother Tommy was until tonight, when her heart was just a trifle empty, and her eyes heavy. Tommy touched the sympathetic chord, and unable to stand it longer she pressed the tousled head to her breast and washed all traces of peppermint from the innocent face with scalding tears, till Tommy winced and slunk guiltily away to bed at the first opportunity, where he must have had the night mare, for his mother, aroused by his groans, administered by a big dose of pepper tea.

At any rate, Tommy's cup of repentance was running over by morning and about nine o'clock a small sad-faced boy entered the law office where Mr. Charles Lovejoy was clerk, and confessed his crime in full. The young man looked at once vexed and relieved, and Tommy went home whistling with his pockets full of bon-bons.

That evening the pallor had died from Marguerite's cheeks and she wore

The Cost It was Indian summer and a glorious day - tranquil, golden-hued. There was no sound save the distant reiterated cry of the quail and the low whisper of the wind among the fallen leaves. Beside a huge mossy rock lay a girl so motionless that one would have believed her asleep but for the wide open gray eyes looking steadily skyward. There were traces upon her face of a recent tempest. At last she stirred.

"Oh dear!" and she drew a sunbrowned hand across her throbbing forehead. "Any way I wasn't to blame.

She said such a mean thing about him.

Maybe it's so but - Oh Betty, Betty, why did we have to quarrel after so good a friendship? And over such a silly thing.

I haven't seen Trebor since we were children together. Maybe he is bad, but he was so - so good and kind. And - and I don't care if he is a 'scandalous flirt,' and she needn't have said it as though I did, either."

Some of the anger was returning and her cheek became flushed again. "I - he used to - to like me, and he made a little ring out of my hair, and some day when we grew up he'd come back and put it on my finger. Of course, though, he's forgot."

A deep flush rose to her cheeks as she recalled the part of Betty's speech that had given the most pain, though she forced herself not to dwell upon it. "he's to be married next week, they say, and actually all the money he has he gets by gambling." Oh why, why did she care more that he was to be married than that he was bad - he, her little sunnyfaced play-fellow?

A step in the underbrush startled her into a sitting posture. What! She thrust her willful brown hair from her eyes.

Trebor Hartman. She paled and trembled visibly. Upon his face were marks of dissipation though it was a handsOme face yet as her quick feminine eye told her. Would he know her? Why was he here?

"Ah" - hesitatingly, apologetically - "I beg - why upon my honor, Miss Pensley!

Is it possible? How do you do?"

Miss Pensley, indeed. Yet why not?

"Mr. Hartman." No extended hand, no smile. She rose and turned to leave, her mind torn by conflicting emotion.

"Margaret - Maggie." She paused. "Not a word for old time's sake?"

"I don't mean to be rude, Mr. Hartman, but really, I - I supposed you wouldn't care - I mean wouldn't be interested in your country play-fellow.

We are so different," she added lamely, confused by his piercing glance.

"Then you've heard?" That was all, but to her quickened imagination it told worlds. The voice had a ring of hardness and despair in the place of tremulous emotion.

"Yes." Her eyes met his squarely.

The strains of "Bonnie Sweet Bessie, the Maid o' Dundee" came trembling through the silence, as the plowboy whistled his way home.

At last he spoke. "Well, then, Miss

Pensley, I must bid you good evening."

He started away.

"Trebor." She started. Had it escaped her? No. Her breath came more freely.

He did not stop; 'twas only in thought that she had cried out. "Mr. Hartman, considering our old friendship, perhaps I should - should congratulate you."

The effect had been great. He stopped with the old boyish half-whimsical whistle. Then he laughed - a bitter little laugh. "Ah, yes, my future looks bright.

I need congratulations."

What did he mean? "I'm sure she - I mean the girl you are to marry would feel flattered."

He stared. Then a light began to break across his face. "Maggie, what have you heard?"

"That."

"Only?"

"No." "That is not true. But my dear little guardian angel, perhaps it cannot all be so easily answered."

A wave of color swept over her white face. Surely, surely she did not feel relief. That other - the worse charge was too plainly corroborated in his face.

"Yes," he said, in a low, even tone, as though continuing in the line of thought that he had perceived in the mobile face before him, "my life is not what it should be. I don't know how I could have forgotten my little play-fellow's earnest face as I see it now in fancy. Do you remember how when my father took me away after mother's death, you said, 'Trebie, you'll be good, won't you?

Please.' And I said, 'Yes, yes, little sweetheart. When I'm a man I'll come back to you, good and true, and then you'll wear this ring." His voice broke as he gazed at the smooth brown strand that he had carried always. "But - how could I help it? I had no mother. And now I'm what you see. I did not come to ask to place this ring on your finger, for my word has been broken. I came," his voice trembled, "only to see the place you loved - you, my better self."

He stopped abruptly, inwardly cursing his folly for having said so much. But how could he know, how could he dare to hope that within his power lay this girl's happiness. Little did he dream of the full meaning of her staring eyes, her parted lips. She was shocked, to be sure, at his life and at his audacity in loving her, but He had not meant to say quite so much. Well, it was all over. Abruptly he turned away and strode off through the trees. He did not hear her moan - low, deep, long. He did not hear her panting breath as she declared over and over, "It is best, best. I didn't love him - no. But I oughtn't, mustn't. I will not! Oh, but I do." He did not hear the sobs that finally brought her relief, not did he see her at last, wan, wearied as a child, and wise, walk home beneath the sad light of the stars.

For he had gone to drown her image in wine.

You must not grin, lr even smile.

For poets never do that way, For they must look quite out of style, Like they had seen some better day.

They never get to sleep at all, But always sit and write, at night, When they can hear a mosquito call And see the moon that's shining bright.

But we are young and full of life, Have other things to do and see, Than sitting up these cold winter nights, And spending our time writing poetry.

He Is Proud Of Central College,

THREE CHEERS FOR CENTRAL

•

Three big cheers, please.

Wait just a minute – why the cheers? Better explain.

The alumni association of Central college has made a good year of the one that is about to close, and a good cheer is in order. But

Flapper Proud Philosophy President The good generally die or outgrow it.

We consider the Stone Age by far the hardest part of history Health hint: when you get a girl be careful whose girl you get.

God must love flunkers he made so many of them.

The break of day often prevents night from going too far.

The reason most people drop a subject is because it gets too hot.

To steal a kiss is petty larceny but most girls think it grand.

Two things are certain: Death and Examinations.

Irene Nations says that a kiss is the anatomical juxta-position of two orbiculare muscles in a state of contraction.

Making man out of monkeys took millions of years, but they say vampy Miss Tansel can reverse the process in three minutes.

Some colleges are so strict that a man has to know the whole alphabet to get his football letter.

To many of those waiting for their ships to come in there seems to be a calm on the ocean.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

That must be the reason that so many of the test grades look so funny.

The girl who measures her success by the number of dance programs that hang on her dressing table can usually measure her career with a foot rule.

Twinkle, Twinkle little ring WeddingBells are what you bring.

Do you think she'll teach next year?

Wait awhile and then you'll hear.

One of the greatest compliments that have been given to him during his quarter of a century as a school executive was paid to President John G. Mitchell recently by the examing committee of te American Association of Teachers Colleges when Central was placed in the Class A-1 division.

The Vista knows with what pride President Mitchell received the report when it was read before five undred college presidents at the recent N. E. A. convention. He was surely prouder than ever of Central College.

President Mitchell does not claim to be responsible for the steady growth that Central has made. He is responsible however, in that he has made a name for the college of which he and all those connected with Central can be justly proud.

He believes that a college should have character, so to speak. He believes that the building of character on the part of the students is the major aim of any institution of learning.

He believes that the fundamentals of honesty and morality are the corner stones of any education, and that without them an education is a detriment to the recipient and to the public.

In the execution of his beliefs, President Mitchell has been successful. That success is in evidence because of the reputation that Central has in the Southwest as a college of thorough instruction and a college of honesty, morality, and integrity President Mitchell is proud of the college for which he has done so much.

And in return, Central College is proud of its president.

something else is necessary.

It is that something that keeps the big wheel whirling in an unprecedented world of steel.

Ye editor is the proud owner of a receipt card certifying that he is a member of the Central Alumni association for 1927-28. But the height of pride involved in that card is that it is No. 1 – the first card issued for the coming year. A feeling is caused in this case that is somewhat comparable to the youthful glee of being the first in the neighborhood to own a dog, a cave, a bicycle, or a real fishing outfit.

We are for the alumni association – strong as onions.

THE BRONZE AND SUE Sometime early in the fall of 1895 former President Murdaugh called the attention of the faculty and student body to the advisability of selecting colors for the school, the first ever adopted in Oklahoma, the writer believes.

A careful investigation was made of those then in use among the various prominent institutions in the United States that we might avoid copying. With the thought in mind the colors should be significant, stand for something, be suggestive, the choice fell upon BRONZE and BLUE: Bronze: "The shadowed livery of the burnished sun" Blue "The color of the heavens, broad, expansive, suggestive of depth, aspiration, hope, ideals."

The first public, statewide display was at Guthrie when the hon. John Adams, a prominent lawyer now at Guthrie then a member of the first class ever graduated from an Oklahoma Educational Institution, represented the school in the first oratorical contest ever held in Oklahoma. The schools taking part were the A & M College, The University, and The Normal School of Oklahoma — now Central.

The worthy wearers of the BRONZE and BLUE must be enthusiastic in intelligent service and inspired by noble thoughts, lofty aspirations, and unselfish ideas.

Everyone is cordially invited to come and inspect the exhibit work of this department.

All the wood work machinery and equipment will be in operation and all finished projects will be on display. Students who have not finished their projects will be working on them. Small rolling pins, powder boxes and paper weights will be given away.

Among the other things to be given away or won are steak forks and aluminum skillets which will be made than by shop students.

It may be embarrassing to those who do not know history an geography, as a clever mechanical test will be applied, but don't let that worry you, the majority of students will be right with you and then too, you don't want to miss the egg frying ordeal.

According to Professor E. L. Chase, eggs will be fired on ice!

The Duties of Citizenship

By W. E. Denney It is a great privilege to be a citizen of a great country like our own, but such a privilege carries with it many obligations. It is necessary that we be informed of our country, about the principles for which it stands, about the motives that have led to its establishment, about its institutions, about its achievement, and its hopes for future advancement.

There are many sources of material by which our common citizenry may become informed.

The leaders of our educational system have recognized that the most formidable point of attach is with the young and rising generation; therefore, careful preparations have been made in planning the course of study, in the selection of text books, and in the training of teachers for teachers of this important subject and for instilling in the minds of the young people right principles and right motives of life. Not only is the appeal being made to young people, but there are certain hopes of improvement among the more mature.

There has recently been a sound of alarm throughout our country at the lack of interest in the matter of voting on election day. A great national organization

Every citizen should realize the privilege and the responsibilities that rest upon him or her as a member of a great commonwealth like ours. What a America is engaged in has been called "the great American experiment." We are learning by this experiment that the best system of government cannot succeed unless men everywhere feel the bond of human brotherhood and are willing to work for the common warfare. It behooves every citizen to look diligently to all possible sources of information and inspiration within his reach in order that he may do his duty to God and his country; and above all, should the citizens and teachers of every community realize that the hope of the future citizens lies in the training of the present boys and girls; and that our public schools, perhaps the greatest institutions for the development of right citizenship, should be thoroughly understood, both as to the ideals that are taught and the methods used, and should receive unqualified and unselfish support from every citizen.

It is considered signs of a national calamity to observe that the percentage of voters who vote on election day is still relatively small. When the privilege to vote is conferred upon a man or woman, it carries with it the obligation to go to the polls and vote intelligently.

The Clock In The Old North Tower

By Jaunity Tallant "I'm going to find out about this if it takes all afternoon" I muttered as I struggled to the top of the Old North Tower. But I didn't have to climb all afternoon, for here before me were the works of the clock.

The clock was put in the Old North Tower in 1911, being partially paid for by the class of 1911-12. I was amazed by the new look of the clock until I found that it had just been cleaned.

This was the first time the clock had ever been cleaned.

It must be oiled once a rear. If the oil used is heavy it becomes so stiff when it gets cold that the clock

stops. For this reason typewriter oil is now used on it.

The clock is an eight day clock so it must be wound only once a week. The key was immense-about the size and shape of a car crank.

The pendulum weighs about forty pounds.

Since the clock is run by weights there are no springs. The weight that makes the clock strike weighs 750 pounds. The weight that makes the clock run weighs 250.

After another climb over seldom used steps, I found myself looking down on the campus and over the country for miles away.

Some pigeons flapped

away, frightened by this unusual intrusion.

I then noticed the bells.

They look as if they had been there a very long time. The bell that strikes the hour is the largest of the three. It is about two and one half feet deep.. The other bells are smaller, on about two feet high and the other about eighteen inches high. The hammers are in proportion to the size of the bells, the largest weighing about sixteen pounds.

The hammers rise to tell the passing of another hour and I descend, much wiser and a little tremble from the climb.

added to the Homecoming events by Central's recently organized band adorned, it is hoped, in brand new regalia as they lead the Homecoming parade and stir the boys on to victory before a large crowd of alumni football fans. A rush order was sent to Craddock Uniforms company for new bronze and blue uniforms which it is still hoped will arrive in time for the performances.

Friends, Relatives Dedicate Chapel Windows Dedication of more than half of the Y Chapel stained glass windows has already been assured, it was announced by Dr. Jessie D. Newby. The windows, designed by Central art students, will be dedicated to former faculty members, students and friends of Central State College.

The designs were recently on display in the WPA art gallery in Evans hall. Most of the windows will illustrate familiar hyms.

Windows Planned Five windows will be located on both sides of the chapel.

Central figures of those on the left side will be female, those on the right, male. A six foot rose window will be placed over the entrance of the build- ing and the chancel windows will be triformal.

First person to assume the responsibility of the dedication of a window was Mrs. John T. Butcher who will dedicate the window to her late husband,

Prof. John T. Butcher, for many years director of the Central demonstration school and professor of education.

Former Dean Honored Mrs. 0. W. Jefferies will dedicate a window to Prof.

Otto E. Jeffries, Latin professor at Central for 25 years and dean of the college at the time of his death in 1930.

The Christmas window will probably be dedicated to Miss Virginia Howard, a critic teacher in the demonstration school, who died last summer after 25 years service. The raising of funds for this window is being undertaken by Miss Lorena Hinds, treasurer of the Chapel fund and YWCA sponsor for many years.

A side window will be dedicated to Hugh Comfort, who taught in the English department here and coached debate in 1936-39. Comfort was interested in YMCA work and was a much admired sponsor of that organization.

Caps Have Arrived

The caps have already arrived but it is feared that because of delay in having to order material for the capes the company will not be able to make delivery on them in time for the game tomorrow. Every effort is being made to effect an early delivery in order that the band may don itself in a complete outfit of bronze and blue before the enthusiastic Home-coming crowds.

Large Band Expected

The band this rear was organized September 25 under the direction of Professor John Gecks, formerly of St. Louis.

It is now composed of 20 pieces which is the largest band Central has had for many years.

Professor Gecks states that there are prospects for a large band and that by the end of the year he expects it to include at least 35 pieces.

"The support of the entire school is necessary," he said, "if we expect to have a good band. The support of the faculty has been wonderful but more students interested in band work are needed."

CSC Gives Stamp of Approval Today to Proposed Amendment Today the booths are wide open in the Student Union building for the voting on the proposed amendment to the Student Council constitution.

Polls will be open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Since this is an all-school affair, all students may vote.

If the amendment passes two thirds of those voting, another election will be held the next Friday to elect the four delegats at large.

The culmination of several steps begun last spring and summer with various proposals, the final amendment reads, "Membership in the Central State College Student Council shall consist of four (4) elected officers, (president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer) together with two (2) representatives, one man and one woman, from each class (freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior) and four "representatives at large" to be elected the third week of the fall semester. Ptetitions of nomination must be filed by noon of the day following class elections. Students may vote for any four in the primary election. A runoff will be held among the eight highest if necessary. If fewer than eight students run there will be no "primary election."

They're Here to Stay "Weaker Sex" Not So Weak "Women Are Here to Stay" is the title of a recent book. And judging from Central's distaff side-rs, that title is a truism.

Athletics and debate heretofore men's fields – are now being taken over by CSC women, as proved in recent weeks.

Most noteworthy along the athletic line are Miss Plunkett's girl field hockey players, who tied a state co-championship to their long string of previous conquests.

Distinguishing themselves in the field of the spoken word (although some might protest that this has always been women's forte) were Dr. Jackson's girl debaters. It's a matter for celebration when one school wins all the available trophies at a speech meet!

—

In other fields, too – such as music, student government, science and dramatics – Central women are taking their places beside the stronger sex.

Still there's a minor discrepancy. After they leave college and seek a job, women (as a rule) can't expect as a full a paycheck as men.

But for who-knows-how-many-thousands of years women had been relegated strictly to the cooking pot and the darning needle, as befit their intelligence; and in the 34 years they've had the right to vote, women have broken jet records; swam the English channel; and have been elected to Congress. Who can tell where they'll go in the next 34 years?

Campus Chapel Windows Show Life Cycle Theme

By Pat Fullerlove It was in April, 1941, that the Young Women's Christian Association passed a motion authorizing the beginning of a chapel on Central State College's campus. The Young Men's Christian Association took similar action and students and faculty began to plan for "Y" Chapel of Song, which reached completion i April, 1949.

The chapel serves as a daily reminder that an important part of a student's life is faith in God. The purpose of the chapel is expressed pictorially by stained glass windows designed and executed by the college art department students to illustrate the songs of the Y. Even the window shining

down over the pulpit tells a story.

The beautiful handcarved benches were designed and completed in the campus industrial arts department.

The architectural design for the building came from Duane R. Connor and Fred Pojezony of Oklahoma City.

It has a seating capacity for 125 persons.

Theme of the windows on the north side constitutes the life cycle: infancy, childhood, marriage, maturity and immortality. The south window represents 5 fields of activity for a well-balanced life of an adult male citizen: labor, armed forces, civic interest, church activities and intellectual accomplishments.

Windows on double

doors are figures of all races of mankind: white, black, red, brown, and yellow.

Small weddings, prayer, song services and memorial rites have been held here.

"By means of its use Central State hopes to render constant and essential service to the moral and spiritual life of the community and college. It is a sanctuary dedicated to the spiritual life. It will be a refuge from noise and confusion, an isle of quietness in the ebb and flow of bewildering life. The gift of the chapel to Central is peace to all who enters into its spirit of silence and calmness." These were the words of Dr. Jessie D. Newby, Latin professor, and sponsor of the YWCA at that time.

CSC Mourns Kennedy's Death

By Larry Snipes Classes were dismissed Monday as Central State joined the nation in mourning the death of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Shot to death Friday in Dallas, Texas. Mr. Kennedy was buried Monday in Arlington National Cemetery while most of the nation watched on television.

The nation's youngest president, Mr. Kennedy was a particular favorite among the younger Americans. This was demonstrated by initial reaction among students.

Usually the weekend before Thanksgiving is a time of happiness for the Central Students.

Thanksgiving provides the students with their first long vacation from the world of studies.

The weekend before is spent thinking of many things the students have to be thankful for. They begin saying goodbye to their friends, they begin to socialize more so as to make

up for what they will miss with an attempt had been made upon their friends when they go the president's life.

Everyone has heard of murders home for the holidays.

Most of the students spent this and never thought a great deal weekend before Thanksgiving on the subject. But, for someone to kill the person who was in deep thought and sorrow.

Senate Votes 'Yes' to University Bill

By Frances Powell A resolution making Central State a university passed the Oklahoma Senate Monday with a vote of 31-15. Only 25 votes were needed for the required majority, and three senators were absent.

House Joint Resolution 510, which will change the name of Central State College to Central State University, was passed as is without any amendments or changes.

President Garland Godfrey commented, 'I am very pleased and gratified that the senate has shown enough confidence in us to pass this bill and felt that we should be given university status.

The strong vote of 31-15 indicates that the leaders of the senate and those who worked to pass this bill are aware of the great potential and possibilities of Central State.

"I appreciate this vote of confidence and want to assure those who voted for the bill that if Gov. Bartlett sees fit to sign it the faculty and students of Central State will do their utmost to fulfill the confidence which was represented by this vote.

He continued, "As I've said many times before, very few institution of higher education becomes a university and then assume the name university.

Usually it's just the opposite. A college is design as a University which gives the institution broader and higher objectives and it takes a long time to reach

those objectives.

"We do not expect that we will have a university fullgrown brought into existence overnight by merely changing the name.

We realize our goals and objectives will have to be re-examined and redirected."

"Our staff will have to be upgraded and increased. The holdings of the library must be increased substantially and other materials will need to be greatly increased.

"I also anticipate that the curriculum will be broadened to include a Masters degree in certain fields in the very near future.

"It will take some time to reorganize. For example, since the appropriations are already set — it may take the entire year to reorganize the staff and reassess the shift into university structure.

"This year will enable us to set our objectives, perfect our organization and secure any staff that might be needed in the organizational pattern."

The bill will now go to Gov. Dewey Bartlett for signing.

Asked to comment on Bartlett's expected reaction Godfrey said, "The governor has given no indication whether he will sign or veto the bill. I certainly hope he will sign it.

"I'm thinking of the future of Oklahoma and what a university at Central State will mean to the entire state. With an expected increase in college enrollment of 75% there is room for another university and it should be located near the center of population

as Central State is located."

Once the bill is signed it will become effective in 90 days unless an emergency clause is attached. Unless such . steps are taken the first class to graduate to graduate from Central State University would be the class of 1968.

If the name change goes into effect it will mark the fourth name assigned to Central since 1890, when it was established as a Territorial Normal School, to train teachers for their territory.

The first name-change came in 1919 when it became Central State Teacher's College, offering a bachelor's degree in education.

In 1939, the name was changed to Central State College, which added a bachelor's degree in liberal arts as well as one in education.

The CSU Bill passed the House of Representatives with a vote of 78-13 March 13.

Student leaders on campus have been very active in recent months arousing support for the bill.

"I think that the Senate has given Central State a vote of confidence," commented Janie White, who recently completed her term as president of the Student Senate. "And we're expectantly waiting the hopefully OK from the governor.

"We sent more than 400 postcards to the Senators, along with telegrams and a long petition with many signatures which was given to those who introduced the bill."

the assassination and had almost already been convicted.

Saturday morning no one here at Central knew that the alledged assassinator had already been tried and convicted in someone's mind.

The idea of Kennedy's death was a little easier to live with Saturday. Time, even a short time can do a lot.

Students seemed almost trying to avoid even mention of Friday's happenings. They seemed to realize that it was beyond their comprehension, beyond their way of thinking.

The thought of the president's dying probably never passed through any of the student's minds.

The thought even of an attempted assassination was so foreign to the students that the thought of a successful attempt was impossible to comprehend.

The Union Was Quiet The Student Union became the quietest it probably has ever been on a Friday afternoon.

Suddenly it was announced

that John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States of America, was dead.

Something Unheard Of Slowly, the students realized something unheard of during their lifetime had happened The ? began to break up and all through the group were emotional. "I can't believe it. Not in America. Not in the twentieth century."

By nightfall, the president's death had settled in the students' mind and the time for working this tragedy into their way of thinking began. They had to, somehow, learn to live with the fact that there is at least one person in today's culture sick enough to kill the president. Maybe there are more.

"Why?" was still heard after.

The students began learning to live with the hard fact that they had lost a president.

Canada or Jail?

When a man is called upon to serve his country and he is unalterably opposed to the war in Viet Nam, there are many possibilities available for deferment. But after the various legal possibilities of are exhausted, he then has only three choices. He can either go to a federal prison for five years, flee to a foreign country or enter military service.

Very few have gone to jail, even though many elder advisers on the draft consider that going to Canada is more "radical" measure, partly on the grounds that at the end of the sentence the man has the privilege of entering again the society that put him in jail. This of course is more often the view of those giving rather than receiving the advice.

But if a man does choose jail, he may well find himself in a "peacenik" prison. This is the latest in modern proposals for solutions to draft dodging.

Proposed by U.S. Rep. Joe Pool, (D-Tex.) "peacenik" prisons would parallel a WWII concentration camp for people delaying the war.

Nobody knows how many young Americans go to Canada in

order to avoid the draft, but it must be more than some of the estimates of Canadian officials, who find it something of an embarrassment that these Americans are coming, since the U.S. government naturally doesn't like it very much. Most estimates have been "Wildly inflated," according to Wilbur P. Chase, first secretary in charge of consular affairs at the U.S. embassy in Ottawa.

Estimates of other observers outside the government ranged from around 3,000 to 10,000 in Canada overall, and most agreed that as draft calls rose and more graduate deferments were dropped in "non-essential" fields of study, more would be coming.

There seems to be fewer people who condemn war protesters, and as the war drags on and the general frustration of America builds, it's hard to believe that 10,000 men in Canada are totally wrong.

Changes need to be made in legislation involving use of and possession of small amounts of marijuana, according to testimonies made to an Oklahoma House committee recently.

The House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence heard testimonies Monday, Feb. 14, during a public hearing on H.B. 1268.

The bill, by Tulsa Reps.

Charles Cleveland, Bernard McIntyre and Paul Brunton, proposes to increase the penalties for the use and sale of hard narcotics, while decreasing the use, sale and cultivation of, in certain circumstances, a limited amount of marijuana.

Testifying at the hearing were Tulsa attorney Rabon Martin, representing the National Association for Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORMAL); Pat Horton, a district attorney from Eugene, Ore., the first state to decriminalize the use of marijuana, and Delaware County Assistant Dist. Atty. Jim Wallace.

Martin began testimony by explaining that NORMal does not encourage breaking laws or the use of marijuana. They believe, he said, it is improper for the government to impose criminal sanctions on persons who use small amounts of marijuana.

Martin explained that, until 1950, there we no laws concerning marijuana. At that time, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics was formed.

Since that time, laws have been made imposing strong penalties on the use and sale of marijuana, he said.

The beliefs people have had about marijuana are totally false, Martin said.

Studies have shown, he said, that marijuana is not the harmful, addicting drug people have been led to believe.

Under Oklahoma law, Martin said, first offenders can receive up to one year imprisonment in the county jail, and second offenders may face one year in a state penitentiary.

He cited an Oklahoma Bar Journal entry showing that a man convicted of cultivating 12 marijuana plants in his home received 12 years in prison. Another entry showed that a man who shot another man six times in the back of the head received four years.

This, he said, calls fpr the reform of our marijuana laws.

The purpose of the bill, Martin said, is to increase the penalties for the ush-

ers and users of hard drugs such as heroin, and to lower the penalties of marijuana, thus separating the two offenses.

"Oklahoma taxpayers are paying over $9 million a year in taxes to pay for the arrest and prosecution of marijuana users," Martin said. "Over 10,000 police man hours are being used annually," he said, "to enforce present marijuana laws.

Martin said the main opposition to this sort of legislation comes from lack of facts, and "as the facts become known support grows."

J. Pat Horton testified that in 1973, his home state of Oregon became the first state in the nation to pass this type of legislation.

Horton pointed out he has never used marijuana and discourages the used of it as well as the use of alcohol and other drugs.

He said that while marijuana is probably harmful to some degree, it is "far less harmful" than alcohol.

He stated that before 1973, enforcement of marijuana offenses got nowhere. The police were spending time, effort and money in arresting, booking, and prosecuting small users in an effort to get to the big-time dealers, with virtually no success.

The big-time dealers and the small-time users are so far separated, it was almost impossible to get to the big dealers, who, therefore were roaming free.

Since the passage of the 1973 law, more time and effort are being spent going after the big pusher, he said, and 90 per cent of the cases going to trial are bringing constituents.

Rep. Guy Davis, DCalera, asked Horton if the Oregon law stated a specific amount.

Horton said the law stipulates one ounce.

Rep. Hood asked if Horton had noticed an increase in convictions Of hard users since the implementation of the new law.

Horton said there is a definite. increase in convictions of hard users and sellers.

He also stated that, since the law went into effect, only one case of marijuana possession had gone to trial.

Studies have shown, he said, that there has been no increase in the number of people taking up the habit since 1973.

Jim Wallace testified that, in his opinion, the bill is proper for the legislature at this time.

He said, however, he fears too many people will consider this bill only for the effects it has on marijuana and not for the effects on hard narcotics.

He cited inconsistencies in laws across the state.

"A Tulsa county heroin pusher," he said, "can be on the streets on probation within a matter of days, w hile a person in Pryor can get years in prison for simple possession."

Lillard's Hiring Policy Rapped

by Jon Womastek, John Perry and Carolyn White CSU President Bill Lillard has denied charges that his administration's hiring policy is undermining the quality of the health, physical education and recreation department and discriminates against women coaches and teachers.

Women coaches contend that male staff members are hired, coaching ability takes priority over academic preparation. This leads to the selection of unqualified teachers in the in the HPER department, they say.

They also charge that, though there is not a big difference between the salaries of men and women, some male staff members must be getting higher salaries for coaching since their academic and teaching qualifications are not equal to the women.

This is the first year the women have been paid for their coaching activities, and Gerry Pinkston, instructor and coach for women's softball and volleyball, expressed her feelings in a letter to Lillard when she accepted her contract.

"I, do not feel,we have been given any real direction as to what is expected of us in the way of athletics. Secondly, I do not feel that $600 for one sport and $1,300 for a second sport is a fair amount of money," she wrote.

Pinkston said in the letter she was paid more for coaching three months at the senior high school level than she is here, and that it is not uncommon for female coaches to make $1000 in addition to their teaching salaries for coaching one sport in the public school system.

In an interview, Pinkston said the difference in men's and women's coaching salaries could be calculated by subtracting what the

tcasny tV ayroCii

caavav

coaches are academically qualified to earn. According to the faculty salary card, from their actual salaries.

"The difference would be tha those academically qualified could quit coaching and make the same amount of money, whereas those that aren't academically qualified would drop in pay," said Pinkston.

"Basically we were hired to teach here and that's the difference in our philosophies. I don't think the formula (Lillard's formula for establishing different coaching salaries) they have come up with is fair. I wish we'd have had some more input into the formula. Only one time has he asked for information from us," said Pinkston.

She said academics have been given second priority since Lillard became president and said the qualifications of some people selected since his arrival would verify that.

"I think the academic program has been hurt all across the campus I know it has in our department," she said.

The North Central Association's evaluation of CSU in the spring of 1979 resulted in the accreditation being extended for only five years instead of the normkal 10 years. Academic leadership was specifically identified as the major weakness at CSU in the exit interview held by the North Central visitation team.

In an interview Thursday, Lillard denied that coaching ability was given any higher consideration than academic qualification and said he was proud of the coaches' athletic and academic backgrounds.

"I don't think there's an over-emphasis on coaching," said Lillard.

He said a balance of abilities in both areaas is what is sought.

%Au

Things Are Lookin

But Lillard refused to say if academics might be slighted in seeking that balance.

"I know what you want me to say and I'm not going to say it," said Lillard. However, he did agree that someone qualified to coach may not be qualified to teach health or PE. "We don't pay them extra for coaching. We say this is the job and it includes coaching and teaching and here is what you'll get paid for it," said Lillard.

Homer Coker, chairman of the health, physical education and recreation department, admitted some of the people who teach in his department are not qualified.

"We have people teach PE that are not prepared to teach," said Coker. He would prefer it wasn't so, he said.

Some of the men in his department don't have degrees in HPER but Coker questioned whether that is really necessary to teach PE or personal health. It's not practical, said Coker.

"I would almost challenge an investigation into what is being taught by the coaches and through„ the investigation clete,t;rnjne whether or not they're meeting their responsibilities as teachers," said coker.

"I would guess that there are some differences (in salaries). In other words, the men are very likely getting paid more than the women for coaching How much more I don't know," he said.

Dr. Karen Dowd, newly appointed assistant athletic director of the women's program, said she was very concerned about the quality of academics in the HPER department.

"I doubt that any other department on campus would settle for anyone teaching in their department who had little or no background in that .

field. Because one can play a sport or teach a sport doesn't make them qualified in the entire physical education field," said Dowd.

She said the problem stems from a nationally held notion that coaches can teach PE or health. There is a tendency to specialize in one area these days instead of generalizing in all areas of physical education, said Dowd.

The coaches for men's sports feel the number of hours they put into coaching and recruiting along with the pressure to produce winning teams is enough to justify any advantage they may have in salary.

"Eddie Evans, instructor and men's basketball coach, said he feels the women are not willing to lose their jobs if they don't have winning teams.

"Experience and expertise in coaching will bring about equal pay," said Evans.

Eddie Griffin, instructor and wrestling coach, said he feels all the men are very professional about their teaching.

"I do a good job in the classroom and I do what's necessary for the classroom," said Griffin. "Everybody j know over here is pretty sincere about their teaching. I know that Gary Howard, (head football coach) is a very professional person."

"I don't know where this (complaint) comes from.

People should follow us around for a week and just see what we do," said Griffin.

Francis Baxter, men's and women's tennis coach and instructor, said the problem is that the men and women view their jobs differently.

"All men who coach varsity athletic teams have a built-in pressure — like at OU, you better fill that stadium," said Baxter, "while women coaches feel much less pressure."

"Coaches I know have a

great deal of pride in themselves and won't settle for a mediocre job. If that means longer hours they go ahead and do it," he said.

Assistant football coach Larry Heard thinks the long hours he puts in each week coaching are just another part of his job.

"I don't take teaching as an either or type of thing. I feel a person can do a good job of doing both," said Heard.

Dr. Virginia Peters, former chairman of the HPER department, always gave him good evaluations, he said.

"Dr. Peters felt like the hours that we spent in coaching were arbitrary hours. We were doing it only to win. It is important to me. If you don't put in the hours you shortchange the team, the school and everyone else. I try to do the best," said Heard.

Doing his best means putting in up to 60 hours 'a week coaching, not including long trips. Heard said that his three children are asleep when he goes to work in the mornings and when he gets in at night. It's all a part of coaching, he said.

Four yRiars ago, men's,ancl ,wornen's physical education departments were separated into two departments. Peters was the chairman of the women's department before the two were combined during May of 1976 in what Peters calls a "shot-gun wedding."

"The people that implement programs ought to be in on the decisions that affect those programs," said Peters.

Although there was some resentment on both sides of the department, she said an effort was made to pull together.

After the departments were combined, the women felt they had lost control over the quality of the educational program.

"It wasn't necessarily that they knew, the men weren't doing a good job, but it was not working. They felt they couldn't guarantee the quality of the progam any more," said Peters.

Some of the men resented having to come to weekly staff meetings and men who coached felt they shouldn't be assigned early morning or night classes, she said.

The names of the two departments prior, „' to their combination, said Peters, could represent the philosophical differences at the root of the problems; the Department of M'en's Physical Education and Athletics, and the Department of Health and Women's Physical Education.

Motives Absent in Vista Action y Tim Chavez The Vista has asked the personnel committee of the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges to drop a request for a hearing to look into censorship charges against President Bill Lillard.

Because of this, some have read motives into this action, some feeling this editor and faculty director Dennie Hall have bent low to kiss some portion of the lower anatomy of the president.

Others feel that this action, taken before the regents met to decide the fate of the president, was detrimental to the cause of those seeking the ouster of CSU's 17th chief executive.

This is not the case, and these are examples of people on this campus trying to read a pro or anti-Lillard flavor into this publication.

Some say we should take charges off the president, in an effort to bring about his fall. It is not the purpose of this newspaper, and never has been, to see Dr. Lillard ousted. It is The Vista's purpose to report the news. Let politics be played in regents rooms and places of authority.

by Jon Womastek

of a report on censorship and freedom of the press at CSU by Dr. Ray Tassin, chairman of the journalism department.

Dillard was said to have been quot'ing,the report out of context to board merriber prior to the board meeting.

An article in The Daily Oklahoman on Friday quoted Lillard as saying, "There's never been greater freedom on the Central State campus."

The article went on to reveal that Lillard "has personally conducted an investigation and found no evidence of any form of censorship being imposed."

Livermore, publisher of The Edmond Evening Sun, said that wile he is not personally involved with The Vista, he is "concerned enough to want to check into the matter because of the grave issue involved."

"It's my view that when such matters as the First Amendment are involved, they deserve more than cursory attention," he said.

The problem came to the board's attention when a letter was received from the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi, which requested a board be set up to investigate the situation.

The letter was sent by Mike Hammer, deputy regional director for

"I Couldn't find in my examinations, any concrete examples of someone exerting cnesorship or pressure on The Vista," said Lillard Friday afternoon.

He said he has used The Vista to support his position before the committee meeting last week.

Lillard said he has met with Vista director Dennie Hall Vista editor Tim Chavez several times, and that they have discussed censorship.

"Such a statement is totally untrue.

The president, on no occasion, has met with Mr. Hall and myself to discuss these censorship charges," said Chavez.

He said that if a fair investigation is to be conducted, "I would hope it would come from an unbiased source, not the one who is the cause of the censorship."

Vistat Director Dennie Hall, who resigned from The Vista because of increasing administrative pressures to censor the paper, was surprised by Lillard's statements.

Newspaper theft sparks investigation By 9 a.m. March 14 an estimated 4,000 issues of The Vista were stolen off distribution racks and dumped into trash cans throughout campus.

UCO DPS was dispatched to the Administration Building on a report that a person was stealing the newspapers.

The suspect was apprehended and released after questioning. The suspect's information was turned over to Jarrod Noftsger, vice president of Student Services, after DPS decided no criminal charges could be filed.

Noftsger was unavailable for comment on any possible disciplinary actions being taken.

"This is a typical reaction to what is perceived to be bad news by people trying to prohibit others from finding out about news.

What they don't understand is that it draws more attention to the paper," Terry Clark, dean of the Journalism Department, said.

Jeff Harp, director of DPS, said that it would be in the best interest

of the justice system to allow the university to handle the situation.

"Had the newspaper been posted with a price then it would have given us the room we needed to file a criminal charge," Harp said.

According to statistics on the Student Press Law Center's web site, the theft of The Vista's newspapers is the tenth free college paper to be censored in this way since the beginning of March.

"The theft of newspapers is a hard case to prosecute because rarely do you catch them in the act," Clark said.

Besides the printing costs and intrinsic value to the staff writers and the editors there was a potential loss of advertising revenue that could affect the paper's future advertising budget.

"We haven't had any businesses complain so far. Hopefully the controversy prompted students who normally don't read the paper to pick up a copy," said Tay Gavin, advertising major for The Vista.

UCO political science professors discuss terrorist attack

By Sarah Blount and Beth Hull The assault on New York and Washington, D.C. Tuesday, Sept.

11 has sparked speculation as to who is responsible for the socalled terrorist attacks. Dr. John George, UCO professor emeritus of political science and sociology, stressed the importance of remaining calm in this situation and not placing blame until guilt is determined. "Let's not jump to conclusions on this," George said, "human beings are big on jumping to conclusions." George has been interviewed internationally about the Murrah bombing and other terrorist activity. He has also appeared on the Today Show regarding extremist groups.

George has taught classes at UCO about extremists and ter-

rorist factions. George said as events unfold throughout the next few days and weeks, international relations will be questioned, and American citizens may react with a sense of vulnerability. "I just hope we don't use a shotgun approach and rather a rifle approach," George said, regarding our country's reaction to the events. According to wire services, the Taliban, the PLO and all Arab governments have condemned the attack. George said it would not be in the PLO's best interest to attack the United States at this time because it would not help them achieve their political objectives. "What could be worse for Yasser Arafat right now?" George said. George speculated that the group responsible was likely a spin-off of a larger terrorist faction.

"If it has anything to do with a larger group, (the plans) would have leaked out before now," George said.

George said theories that Osama bin Laden is responsible for this action are premature.

"His following is greatly exaggerated," George said.

Dr. Husam Mohamad, UCO assistant professor of political science, also said he discourages people from jumping to conclusions and noted that some residents of Oklahoma City assumed Middle-East connections when the Murrah Federal Building was bombed in 1995.

"This is not the type of action usually taken by political activists," Mohamad said.

Mohamad recently became a naturalized U.S. citizen. He first came to the United States from

the West Bank in 1986.

Dr. Husam Mohamad Mohamad said political activists usually don't use violent measures to affect political change since killing civilians does little to promote their cause.

Speculation about whether the assault was in response to a particular event or out of general hostility is uncertain until those responsible come forward.

"Without knowing who is responsible, it's difficult to know what the United States did to incite this sort of attack," Mohamad said. "The terrorists will either come forward quickly out of pride or hide due to fear of U.S. retaliation," Mohamad said, "When I look at a plan like I saw this morning I know that this is a very organized terrorist organization."

Frats damage Yugo during STUDENTS, STAFF AND FACULTY festive games GRAPPLE WITH AFTERMATH OF WEDNESDAYS BOMBING Debbie Blossom, staff writer

Bob Howard Auto Mall won't be interested in dealing with Central State University in the future, even if it means losing free publicity, said Todd Perrish, import manager for the dealership.

Perrish's comment stems from what he considers an unhappy incident which occurred between dealership representatives and Robert York, vice-president of the Inter-fraternity Council at CSU. According to Perrish, York came to the dealership requesting the donation of a car for a UniversityFEST event which would see how many people could cram into a Yugo automobile at one time.

"I personally asked Bob Howard if we could loan the car," Perrish said.

Apparently, cars had been loaned in the past for various events - cars for parades - and Howard considered this good publicity for his dealership, Perrish said.

"The seats were taken out at the dealership, and there was a verbal agreement between myself and Robert that the car would come back in the same condition that it went; it was agreed that Robert would be responsible for the car," Perrish said.

When the car was returned to the dealership, Perrish said there were large dents on the hood of

the car.

"It looked like people had sat on it."

Perrish said when he called York for an explanation of the dents he couldn't get a straight answer.

"No one seemed to know what went on at the contest. Robert said he didn't see what was going on, so he didn't know what had happened to the car," Perrish said.

Perrish said that York finally did agree to get repairs made on the car, which had been estimated at $700, but he wanted to take the car to a repair shop of his own choosing.

"They (York and friends) said they would repair the car, but they never got around to it," Perrish said.

The car has since been sold, minus damage costs, but Bob Howard is not pleased with the way things were handled.

"The dealership lost $700 on this arrangement. We will not be dealing with CSU again," Perrish said.

York would not comment on the situation, when questioned, saying "I can't say anything without my attorney present."

Dr. Dudley Ryan, dean of students, did not know any facts about the incident.

"I was not there so I don't know what happened to the car.

All I know about the situation is hearsay."

Library to begin auto book check Ann Hamilton, staff writer The Central State University Library will begin using an automated check out system Thursday, said Vicki Wainscott, head of library access services.

"While we are changing

UCO is also providing assistance in other ways. A large crane for the explosion site from the Oscar J. Boldt Construction Co. on campus and sending Jeffrey McKibbin, a physical therapist from the Physical Education department, to offer any assistance needed at the site.

Nigh also offered the 20 Russian ice skaters, who are on a tour in Oklahoma City, a place to stay on campus. The dancers were staying at the YMCA, but have been evacuated due to the disaster.

Other donations such as safety glasses, flashlights, batteries, blankets, sheets, hard hats, generators, diapers and toilet paper are also needed.

These donations can be taken to Room 101 at Evans Hall and Pizza Time restaurant situated across from the UCO Administration Building.

A fund –raising project has been established by the campus to help the needs of the bomb rescue workers, victims, and survivors. Anyone interested in contributing should have checks payable to UCO Foundations Office, or mail to Campus Mail, Box 133, Edmond, OK 73044.

Nigh has pledged to Gov. Frank Keating and the UCO management to provide any personnel or equipment from the campus any time they are needed.

"All they have to do is just call," said Nigh.

"It is a tragedy unimaginable, but pulling together our efforts to help is believable,' he said in response to the disaster.
