Volunteers make a difference

by Kim Roberts Staff Writer Over 50 Central volunteers converged to take part in Make a Difference Day Oct. 25.

This is the second year UCO has participated in Make a Difference Day. The national event was sponsored by USA Today, and Central competed with other colleges for recognition, said Veronica Alarcon, Central's volunteer center coordinator.

"It's about doing good in the community, and doing projects to help people," she said.

The student volunteers met early in the morning Oct. 25, and divided into groups where they were shuttled to different locations to help in clean up

projects.

The volunteers divided up to tackle different projects, including cleaning up an abandoned elementary school to make way for a community center, clearing debris to make way for a community laundry mat, and repainting the interior of an area church, Alarcon said.

"The biggest project was repainting the interior of Linwood United Methodist Church," she said.

"It was a major undertaking, but we got the entire first floor done, which we're happy about. And we're hoping to get a group together next Saturday and finish the job." • The volunteers collectively agreed that it had been worth-

while.

"I did this last year. I've volunteered for quite a few years now. I love to volunteer and help people out. It's always different and always exciting," said Shannon Scott, a sophomore at Central.

"I found out about this from my teacher,- Mr. Willis.

He asked us [the class] if we'd be interested and the overwhelming majority of us said that we'd help," said senior Toby FitzSimons.

"It was a lot more work than I was expecting, but it was a lot of fun. To do volunteer projects for UCO is a rare treat," he said.

"In the end it worked out.

Everybody seemed to have a good time," Alarcon said.

"Accidental Death of an Anarchist" by Nobel Prize winning playwright Dario Fo will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 30 through Nov. 1 and at 2 p.m.

Nov. 2 in Mitchell Hall Theater.

The play based on an actual incident in which a self-proclaimed anarchist was arrested as a suspect in a bombing that killed 16 people. The anarchist died during interrogation by Italian police, either accidentally or through suicide, and the entire incident was swept under the rug

by Italian authorities.

Central's production is based on a recent translation by Simon Nye, who takes the action to England.

The director, Dr. Don Bristow, decided to use this translation because it is the most recent version. Bristow added allusions to Enron, Saddam, Governor Terminator, Baywatch and Survivor in hopes that the

The 2003 Corral Chili Cook-off and tailgate party will be Nov. 8 before the Broncho football game against Northeastern University. This

Furniture designer displays art

by Lauren Pulsinelli Staff Writer Department of Design is featuring an exhibit titled, "Stuff You Won't Find at 3434 West Reno," showcasing furniture designs by Amy Jacobson-Peters.

The show will open Oct. 29 and run through Dec. 12 in Central's Art and Design Building.

The exhibit features photos, drawings, samples and plans of Jacobson-Peters' unique designs.

Larry Hefner, of the Graphic Design Department, who also created the posters and helped organize the show, chose the name of her exhibit.

Jacobson-Peters feels the name is appropriate because all of the pieces are one-of-a-kind in very small quantities for both the residential and hospitality industries.

"This is the kind of furniture you would never see at Mathis Brothers," Jacobson-Peters said.

Jacobson-Peters graduated With a master's degree in 1995 and has been part of the faculty since the fall of 2000.

Jacobson-Peters instructs a custom design furniture class that teaches exactly what her show features.

In the class, students are required to create working drawings that show the construction details of a piece of furniture.

"The students take from the class an understanding of drawing layout, furniture construction and design, along with site implementation," Jacobson-Peters said.

Currently working as a freelance designer, Jacobson-Peters said she hopes to develop her own custom furniture business.

She also works with Troy Wesnidge Inc., an Oklahoma company that specializes in designing and manufacturing custom, high-end furniture.

Jarrett Jobe, advisor of the Interfraternity Council, said he is unsure how many entrants to expect.

Photo club to raise money with fall themed portraits

by Neely Tucker Student Writer The F/64 Society will take seasonal portraits from 5 to 8:30 p.m.

Oct. 31 in the West Hall Lobby for the Safe Trick or Treat Program.

Money raised by the fund-raiser will go toward events that help students with their art and careers, said Jennifer Klotz, president of the F/64 Society.

There will be two portrait themes — fall and Halloween — to choose from, Klotz said.

the insanity out of every character," Charnay said.

Bringing out the other characters insanity is vital because it makes them confess in hilarious ways to what happened the day the anarchist died. Along with the Superintendent and the Inspector there is also a journalist played by Sara Craig, Bertozzo played by Alex Decker and a Constable played by Paul Evans.

The journalist is allowed into the police station by Maniac because Maniac said, "Never say no to a journalist." So, even though none of the other characters seem to appreciate a journalist's profession all the characters end up answering even more questions while the journalist tape records everything. The Superintendent really hates journalists and Boyd says his character feels this way because, "Policemen stretch out the truth and lie a lot. He had a bad expe-

audience will relate to the story better.

"Maniac" is the name given to the play's main character played

by Matt Charnay, In one scene Maniac tears up police reports to show his sympathy for criminals.

Maniac declares, "The reports lack human understanding and warmth."

Maniac admits that he is mad and says he has 'acting mania.'

However, throughout the play, Maniac appears to have the sanest sense of what is right and wrong.

He finds a police report concerning an accidental death of an anarchist and decides to find out what really happened the day the anarchist died.

Maniac pretends he is a high court judge sent to investigate and begins interrogating the Superintendent played by Dylan Boyd and the Inspector played by Sean Scrutchins.

This is where Maniac's acting mania comes into play according to Charnay, "He loved to perform so much that he is able to bring

Since the portraits will be taken on Halloween the F/64 Society encourages you to bring your family in costume before trick-or-treating, she said.

The prices are as follows: two wallets for $3, one 4x6 for $3, one 5x7 for $5, one 8x10 for $10, or a CD of three poses for $25.

No appointments are necessary, and everyone is welcome.

will identify what types of students are not involved and why, then try to find several ways to get these students engaged on campus," Tambra Nowell, UCO's representatibve on the Collegiate Voice Committee.

Nowell said a dialogue is a discussion of an important issue in an open and honest atmosphere.

"It is an opportunity for students to voice their opinions as well as listen to others in a productive manner," she said.

Campuses across the nation are hosting dialogues as part of the Student Civic Engagement Campaign.

"The Student Civic Engagement Campaign, a project of Campus Compact, is built upon the premise that a significant part of civic engagement is to facilitate dialogues in which students begin to talk about the important issues that surround their campus, community or nation," Nowell said.

Nowell believes that the dialogue will serve as an effective catalyst for increasing student involvement in campus activities.

"I believe that the participants will generate great discussion resulting in new ideas, projects or goals for our university," she said.

RAs host first AdoptA-Prof reception

by Shannon I. Scott Student Writer Central's first Adopt-A-Prof reception was held Oct. 22 at the University Commons Clubhouse to recognize participants in the program.

The Adopt-A-Prof program was adapted from a similar program used at the University of Oklahoma.

The program allows the students to get to know their professors outside of the classroom.

Resident assistants are required to create a program with or for their adopted faculty or staff member.

These programs vary from informing residents on educational matters to socializing.

"It's definitely beneficial to have the professor's advice on some of the more hard hitting programs like racism and sexual orientation," said RA Quita Pollard.

About 50 people attended the reception in the clubhouse.

Camille Farrell, University Commons assistant hall director, welcomed the attendees.

Small groups were formed as

students and professors exchanged information regarding their professions and hobbies, then introduced each other to the rest of the group.

Farrell and Chris Snoddy, University Commons hall director, presented the participating faculty and staff members with certificates. "[The program] facilitates a positive experience with faculty and staff," Farrell said.

"They help you learn things outside of the classroom that you wouldn't normally learn," said Cristi Talley, early childhood education sophomore and Commons' resident.

Staff and faculty members were invited to participate through letters from Snoddy, an announcement on centralities and personal invitations from the RAs. This is the first semester the program bas been used at Central.

Any faculty or staff member is eligible to join the program.

OPINION October 30, 2003

Struggles in Baghdad likely to get worse

By SONYA ROSS Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — The worst attacks in Baghdad since the major combat was declared over almost six months ago underscore how tough it will be for the United States to subdue a resistance in Iraq that it initially underestimated and now cannot identify.

Experts say the United States is not helping itself in this situation.

The Bush administration not only is vague about whether what's going on in Iraq still amounts to war, it assumes that the Iraqi resistance comprises only Saddam Hussein's loyalists or foreign terrorists _ labels that do not fit every insurgent.

There are at least 15 opposition groups in Iraq, some former supporters of deposed president Saddam but many of which are religious or nationalistic in nature, said William 0. Beeman, director of Middle East studies at Brown University.

"The United States is under severe attack by people who want the U.S. out of Iraq. Its not just Saddam supporters, but people who have a whole range of agendas," Beeman said.

He contends the Bush administration does not acknowledge "what they know to be true — namely that they are facing these multiple opposition groups and we have no idea who launched these attacks."

President Bush insisted Monday that a series of deadly bombings at Red Cross headquarters and three Baghdad police stations was the work of desperate loose cannons who want to halt progress toward restoring Iraq. "They can't stand the thought of a free society," he said.

The nature of these latest attacks, however, suggests an insurgency that is much more organized than Bush would acknowledge. For example, fighters are using conventional weapons and are carrying out their attacks on a larger scale and in heavily guarded areas, said J. Stephen Zunes, Middle East expert at the University of San Francisco.

"This seems to indicate that the resistance is more grass-roots and more popular, and includes more than backers of the old regime or backers of extreme Islamic groups," Zunes said. "If that's the case, it's not surprising that things are getting worse, not better."

Quote of the day Show me a thoroughly satisfied man, and I will show you a failure.

- Thomas Edison

The bombings came a day after rockets hit a Baghdad hotel where U.S. occupation officials were housed, killing an Army lieutenant colonel and wounding 18 people, and hours after three U.S. soldiers were killed in overnight clashes around the city.

It adds to an American toll that, as of Sunday, stood at 345 dead and 1,675 wounded in hostile action. On or since May 1, when Bush declared that major combat operations were over, 207 American soldiers have died.

Secretary of State Colin Powell acknowledged over the weekend that the Bush administration underestimated the stubbornness of the enemy in postwar Iraq. "We didn't expect it would be quite this intense this long," he told NBC. Powell said Monday that U.S. officials don't have a handle on whether the recent violence is "a spike having to do with Ramadan (the Muslim holy month) or whether it will continue."

Brig. Gen. Martin Dempsey of the 1st Armored Division, who handles security in Baghdad, said U.S. officials believe the attacks were timed to coincide with the lifting of an overnight curfew and the reopening of a city bridge.

Iraqi and many U.S. authorities in Baghdad blamed Monday's coordinated quadruple bombings on foreign fighters intent on targeting people they consider collaborators for working with U.S. forces.

One captive would-be bomber was said to have carried a Syrian passport.

Dempsey said U.S. officials are struggling to understand why the number of attacks began increasing in September.

"I don't know the answer to that," he told reporters.

Compounding the problem is that other countries, already reluctant to wade into the postwar miasma, might be even more hesitant to send troops or money to help with reconstruction if the violence should continue or worsen.

"There's the question of, if they put money in to build something, will it be blown up immediately afterward?" Zunes said. "And there is the overriding political question that this is widely seen as an illegal foreign military occupation."

TCC faculty upset over executive pay bonuses TULSA, Okla. (AP) _ The faculty association for Tulsa Community College is calling for changes in the way school business is conducted after top executives received bonuses.

Faculty passed a resolution Monday saying the quiet approval of incentive bonuses raised serious ethical questions about TCC's leaders.

The faculty association held its first special session in more than a decade, said Hank Comby, association president.

TCC regents have come under public scrutiny for the quiet approval of substantial incentive bonuses for the school's executive vice presidents.

Meanwhile, President Dean VanTrease has benefited from changes in the school's supplemental retirement program that adds thousands of dollars to his expected retirement fund.

Faculty member Camille Quinn said administrators have created a sense of mistrust.

'If any one of these administrators had any integrity, they would give back the bonuses because it's the right thing to do and because it's in the best interest of the school," Quinn said. "If they really cared about TCC and working here, they would do it without question."

More than 160 full-time and adjunct faculty members showed up for the faculty meeting at the Philips Center on TCC's Metro Campus. The faculty members voted to pass

the resolution after 21/2 hours of discussion and debate in a closed meeting.

Comby said 164 full-time TCC faculty members voted in person or by proxy. TCC has 289 full-time faculty members on four campuses.

Comby said he will present the resolution, which calls for corrective measures, to the college president's office for action.

Regents Chairman Ronald Looney was not available for comment.

An investigation by the Tulsa World revealed TCC created a special compensation committee that approved substantial bonuses for executive vice presidents John Kontogianes, Gary Grooms and Torn McKeon. The executives are in line for bonuses from $100,000 to $160,000 apiece if they choose to stay with TCC for the next few years.

TCC is readying itself for a leadership change when VanTrease, who is 65, retires.

The regents' special compensation committee met on the 25th floor of a downtown high-rise _ in the offices of a local law firm _ to discuss the executive retention plan.

Faculty members say the item was tabled when they showed up at the meeting. The plan was approved at a later meeting when faculty members were not present.

Central Flashbacks with Rick Russick Welcome to another installment of Central Flashbacks. For those of you who may have noticed, I made a little error in my last column.

Donald Rumsfeld is not the Secretary of State, he is Secretary of Defense. Colin Powell has that honor. Sorry about that Mr. Powell.

Oh, and before I forget, thank you, Doug Hatch, for bringing that litde mishap to my attention.

Ok, now on to bigger and better things. Old buildings tend to go through several periods of restoration as they mature, and Old North is no exception. On Nov. 1, 1921, it went through its first facelift.

Central spent more than $1,000 on the lengthy project. Built in 1893, Old North is the oldest Normal School building in Oklahoma.

On Nov. 1, 1928, The Vista had the pleasure of,reporting that Central's president, John G. Mitchell was listed with the "Greats of America" according to the 1929 Who's Who of American Colleges.

The Vista mentioned that "Babe Ruth [couldn't] knock a ball far enough to get his name listed."

On Oct. 31, 1930, The Vista featured an educational article about Central's Old North Tower Clock. At one time, the clock required typewriter oil to keep it lubricated since regular oil got too thick on cold days. The clock had to be wound once every eight days and was run by weights instead of electricity. One 750 pound weight caused the clock to chime. The other weight, which caused the clock's hands to move, weighed 250 pounds.

On Oct. 24, 1940, famous writer, newspaper publisher and movie producer Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr. visited Central.

Did you know that Halloween pranks were once considered unpatriotic? On Oct. 29, 1942, while World War II was in full swing, The Vista announced there would be no Halloween pranks in honor and respect of the "Centralite soldier boys and the continuing war efforts."

Needless to say, the pranks started again the following year. In 1943, some guilty culprit made a replica of Wantland Stadium and hung it off the Old North Tower. Hmmm...how do think they got up there without getting caught?

From 1942 to 1945, The Vista featured articles about "Centralite soldiers serving on the front lines." This became a tradition for the paper until the war ended.

On Oct. 28, 1943, The Vista's editor, Norma Lathan, was named "student of the week" at the Oklahoma Press Association's JuniorSenior college press meeting held at OSU. For all those 'Pokes' fans out there, OSU was once known as Oklahoma A & M College.

Did you know that long lines in the cafeteria caused students to be late for class? On Oct. 23, 1951, The Vista addressed the problem because students were not getting to their 1 p.m. class in time and teachers were beginning to complain.

Does your professor know where you are? Spending too much time at the University Center? Hmm? Hey, here is something interesting. Has anyone seen President Webb's office? I wonder if his office is as nice as President W Max Chamber's office was. On Oct. 30, 1951, Chamber's office was remodeled. His office featured walnut door facings, baseboards, window frames and new radiators. The building his office was replaced by the current administration building.

The president's office also had a traditional fireplace which was removed during the restoration. A walnut bookcase with a large mirror took its place. New fluorescent lights were installed for "a more modern look," Chambers said.

College caffeine use growing

by Rachael Tully

stimulant when studying late at night for a test or for staying awake during an 8 a.m. class.

The American Chemical Society reports that too much caffeine can cause irregular heart beat, anxiety, nervousness and depression.

"Whenever I drink too much caffeine, my body can feel it," Barcum said. "It hurts my concentration at school."

Caffeine is a chemical found in over 60 plants. When ingested, it stimulates the nervous system by increasing hormones in the blood stream.

Acting as a diuretic, caffeine pulls water out of the body. This causes the body to need more water to rejuvenate.

Caffeine begins to take effect within 15 minutes of consumption and lasts for several hours.

The average American consumes 230 milligrams (equivalent to two 12-ounce clips of brewed coffee) of caffeine a day, reports the Mayo Clinic.

Staff Writer An age-old American tradi-. tion can be found brewing on many. college campuses.

Recent studies show a growing number of college students are looking to caffeine to fuel their daily routines.

Trevor Sadler, senior psychology major, said he has three cups of coffee and two soft drinks a day.

"Before my evening classes, I drink a cup of coffee," he bAtificl.,"During.rny class break, I usually grab a Coke. It is the only way I stay awake."

Like Sadler, many Central students are looking to caffeine for extra energy to get through the ,day.

"Yesterday, I had five Diet Cokes and two drinks from Starbucks," said Ashley Barcum, senior journalism major.

Barcum said that she drinks coffee and soft drinks on a daily basis.

"It helps wake me up," she said. "It makes me more alert before I take a test or write a paper."

Caffeine, like any chemical, can become highly addictive.

Scott Gleaves, junior finance major, said he was trying to cut down on his caffeine intake by only drinking one Coke a day.

"I am trying to cut back because I drink it too much," he said. "Sometimes whenever I do not have it, I get headaches."

LaBetta Wallenmeyer, director of the Student Health Center, said that fast reduction of caffeine can cause irritability and headaches.

"If a student is trying to deCreaSe "their caffeine intake, they should gradually reduce the number of cokes or coffee they drink," she said.

Since caffeine is a diuretic, students should drink more water to stay hydrated, Wallenmeyer said.

Sadler added, "I admit I that I rely on caffeine. It keeps me going and helps me get through my classes wideawake."

According to the Mayo Clinic, Mountain Dew ranks as having one of the highest counts of caffeine (for soft drinks) containing 55 milligrams, Diet Coke follows with 45 milligrams, Pepsi with 38 milligrams and Coca-Cola with 34 milligrams.

Dan Ross, sophomore criminal justice major, said he drinks three Dr. Peppers a day.

"Every once in awhile, I drink it in the morning," he said.

"I am not addicted to caffeine,'""Ito's saidl""1 think that the need is just in my head."

In 2002, the National Soft Drink Association reported Americans spent nearly $60 million on carbonated drinks.

Bronchos sweep SNU

by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor The • UCO volleyball team completed a sweep of their three-match home stand with a victory over Southern Nazarene University (17-8) on Oct. 28 at Hamilton Field House.

It was the Bronchos 17th consecutive win over the Crimson Storm.

UCO got off to a solid start as they grabbed a quick lead early in game one on their way to the 30-21 victory in the opener. The Bronchos were outstanding defensively holding

five-point advantage early and never looked back, earning the 30-22 win and a three-game sweep. The Bronchos hit a match-best .282 in the third game to put away the Crimson Storm.

Tori Walker had a stellar game hitting .429 with 14 kills, 18 digs and 6 blocks. Stacey Meek had a solid night with 38 assists, 10 digs and 4 blocks.

The Bronchos (18-6) travel to Commerce, Texas tonight at 7 p.m. to battle Texas A&MCommerce as they continue their Lone Star Conference schedule.

SNU to a .043 hitting percentage in the opening game In the second game the Crimson Storm fought back to try to tie the match at one game apiece. The game went backand-forth as neither team could gain a sizable lead on the other.

The Bronchos finally took a 2722 advantage after a five-point inn but SNU fought back to tie the game at 29. But the Central players wouldn't let the game get away from them as they took the final two points for the 3129 win.

In the final game of the night UCO again jumped out to a

The UCO Bronchos soccer team steamrolled through a nonconference game with Missouri Southern to win their final home game of the season 8-0.

It was the tenth shutout of the season for the Bronchos as well as their fourteenth win in the last 15 outings.

Head UCO soccer coach Mike Cook expressed his satisfaction with winning the final home game saying, "That's the way it should be."

Coach Cook played his entire squad as his team managed to bounce back strong after a devastating 1-0 upset Saturday by Texas Woman's.

"We had better focus today.

We were able to put all of our chances away," Cook said.

It was the biggest offensive output of the season for the Bronchos who outshot the Lady Lions 26-4.

Senior Robin Bundy walked away from her final game on Tom Thompson field having scored the first goal of her career in the in the 59th minute.

Her long arching shot from 35 yards out bounced over the goalkeeper's head for the score making it 5-0 UCO. "It's cool that I got one in the last home game," said Bundy. "It's nice to go out strong."

Other seniors that had solid games included, Lone Star Conference Preseason Player of the Year Valerie Gutierrez, who also finished strong with two Photo Services shots, two shots on goal, and two assists. And Meleia Bacon finished Lilly Defee dribbles the ball in Central's win over Missouri with four shots, two shots on goal, Southern University Oct. 28. and one assist.

But in the end it was the young Central improved to 14-2-2 for the 2003 season with a Bronchos who strived to show that UCO soccer would very real chance to claim their second straight league title if maintain it's excellence for years to come. they can sweep their remaining LSC away games verses West Freshman Audri Habibi scored three goals, and sophoTexas A&M on Friday and Eastern New Mexico Sunday to more Leah Anderson had two goals, followed by sophomore conclude the regular season.

Bronchos travel to SOSU, look to stay unbeaten

by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer The UCO Bronchos' football team travels to Durant, Okla. this weekend to take on the Southeastern Oklahoma State Savages in a Lone Star Conference North Division showdown at Paul Laird Field 2 p.m. Saturday.

Central has some unfinished business to take care of this weekend as they take on a SOSU team that handed them a devastating 7-6 loss during Homecoming last season.

A missed extra point by the Bronchos and a late touchdown

by SOSU quarterback Drew Beard made the difference in a game that resembled a mud wrestling match.

"It sucked because they kept running the same play in the fourth quarter and we couldn't stop it," said defensive tackle Ryan Cooper. "If we can just contain him (Beard) we'll be alright."

The Bronchos defense has the daunting task of corralling Beard again Saturday who is currently ranked second in the LSC in total offense with 289.4 yards a game.

"He (Beard) is not particularly fast, but he has good awareness and good agility," said Bryan Gorka, UCO defen-

with, Brandon Chatmon initely has the mental advantage.

Advantage: OSU Prediction: Do not be surprised if this game goes into overtime both teams are good, really good. On paper OU has the better players, better coaches and better motive. But they had all those things last year also! OSU has an. offense that cannot be stopped, period. But their defense may not have the depth to stay with the Sooners offense (if they are playing well) for 60 minutes. Look for OU's special teams to make a big play that changes the game in the Sooners favor.

Smith of Missouri and what he

OU offense vs. OSU defense: Jason White has Heisman written all over him, with Mark Clayton making plays after the catch and Brandon Jones streaking deep, the OU offense is better than last year. OSU's D is underrated and looking for respect. Darrent Williams is playing like an All-American and the rest of the D is flying to the ball consistently. The problem is depth, look for OU to try to get JeJuan Rankins, Travis Wilson and Will Peoples on OSU's nickel backs' Vernon Grant and Daniel McLemore, then take advantage of the mismatch.

Final Score: OU 42, OSU 38.

Other Big XII games: Nebraska at Texas: The Cornhuskers have rebounded nicely from last year's rough season, but they aren't a top ten team. Texas is really close to losing Mack Brown for good (sorry, Sooner fans). Nebraska lost on the road to Missouri and Texas DID beat KState at home. Vince Young should have a big day and Nebraska is too one-dimensional to win big games. You can't have a running back taking the snaps and expect to beat good teams. The question is: Is Texas a good team? I say good enough to beat the Huskers.

Advantage: OU OSU offense vs. OU defense: Last year the Cowboys ABUSED the Sooners D and that was with Andre Woolfork, Jimmy Wilkerson and Lance Mitchell on the field. Josh Fields, Tatum Bell and Rashaun Woods are all playing like All-Big XII first teamers. The Sooners have added Donte' Nicholson to an already stellar defense and Tommie Harris has been dominant this year. But OSU is just too balanced to deal with, if you stop Tatum, there goes Rashaun and vice versa.

Prediction: Texas 27, Nebraska 21.

Advantage: OSU

National Games:

Special Teams: Both teams have outstanding punt returners in Antonio Perkins and Darrent Williams, and both have solid coverage teams. But special teams could be the difference on Saturday and OU tends to make game-changing plays on special teams in big games. If OU blocks a punt or field goal, that could be the difference between an W and an L. Thus OU gets the advantage due to their uncanny knack for changing big games on 4th down.

Miami at Virginia Tech: Va. Tech plays the little sisters of the poor, the little sisters of the rich and the big sisters of the little sisters in their non-conference slate.

Then everyone is SHOCKED when they lose. Why? They were dominated at WVU last week, that game was not as close as the score indicated. Miami is good but they have one weak spot, Brock Berlin is too inconsistent for the 'Canes to go undefeated. But they won't lose this week.

Advantage: OU

has done to Oklahoma's stellar defense.

SOSU's overall offense ranks second in the conference and first in scoring (37.2 points a game).

"Our thing is preparation," said Gorka. "We'll be ready to play when 2 o'clock arrives on Saturday, I can promise you that."

The 7-0 Bronchos, who were idle last week, rank No. 5 in this week's American Football Coaches Association Poll and No. 1 in both the West Region and LSC standings.

The Savages are 6-2 overall and third in both the LSC at 5-1 and North Division at 2-1. They received 19 votes in the AFCA national poll but are not ranked in the top 25.

Prediction: Miami 31, VT 20.

Intangibles: OSU has the mental advantage of beating the Sooners the past two seasons especially last year's domination. OU has the revenge factor and possibly Stoops' best team ever. But everyone said OU wanted revenge last year and... ouch! The Sooners are going to have to be just that much better than the Cowboys this year because OSU def-

Coaching: Bob Stoops is the best coach in America, period. And his staff is full of coaches who could be running some of the best programs in America five years from now. But the way Les Miles rebuilt the OSU program in such a small time cannot be overlooked. And offensive coordinator Mike Gundy is earning every cent of his unique salary.

The fact Miles seems to have Stoops' number like Stoops has Mack Brown's, negates any coaching advantage the Sooners may have.
