Staff Writer tudents, get your typing fingers ready. The UCO Lakeside cafe.com is almost here. The cafe, an estimated $200,000 project, will open sometime in November, according to Robert Lindley, executive director of auxiliary enterprises. The cafe is located on the second floor of the University Center, across from the Food Court. In addition to a computer lab, Starbucks coffee and food will be served. A big-screen television will also be available. "The cafe will give students a nice place to relax and use at their leisure. They can watch TV, study and work on the computers. I think it is

S tudents voted Wednesday Oct. 25 to increase the student activity fee to $5.15 per credit hour. The vote was in favor by 82 percent. The $1.15 increase will allow $336,000 more per year to fund student program groups, according to UCOSA president Daniel Harris. The administration initiated the increase, and when it was presented to UCOSA President Daniel Harris, he proposed a student vote. If UCO wants to make an increase UCOSA will take the

results from the student vote to administration. The adminsitration will discuss results with Roger Webb, the president of the university who will then propose the increase to the Board of Regents, according to Harris. In addition to the vote, a survey included three proposals that gave examples of different ways the money could be used. "The point of the proposals was to get a feeling for the students opinion and will be discussed at the vice presidential level at a later date," said Elizabeth Waner, administrative assistant to vice president Gage. The first proposal

showed 18 percent of students were in favor of 50 percent to the athletic department, 25 percent to campus wide programs, and 25 percent to the UCO Student Association. The second proposal showed 16 percent of students were in favor of 50 percent to the athletic department, 30 percent to campus wide programs, and 20 percent to the UCO Student Association. The third proposal showed 65 percent of students were in favor of 45 percent to the athletic program, 30 percent to campus wide programs, and 25 percent to the UCO Student Association.

"UCO has the lowest activity fee in Oklahoma at $4, and if the vote is passed it will be equal to other schools, said Jarrett Jobe, campus life coordinator for Greek organizations. The highest activity fee amount allowed by the Board of Regents is $5.15 per credit hour. "There are a lot of people who will benefit from the vote," Jobe said. "I encouraged students to vote for the increase because, with an average of 12 hours a semester, a $1.15 increase would generate enough funds to improve campus programing," Harris said. •

Voting urged for Ilan, local elections

-...................__ 'can't believe it takes the student senate so long to get anything accomplished

he darkest, most sinster time of year has descended upon us once again, sending shivers down the spines of women and men alike. Halloween? Traid not. Rather, it's election season, the time of year when voters tend to set themselves up for more tricks than actual treats. The most menacing goblin to rear its head this time of year is neither an elephant or a donkey (or Ralph Nader, for that matter), but rather a silent little monster called Voter Apathy. This past Wednesday saw a referendum presented to the student body. The crux of this vote dealt with a proposed activity fee increase and how the money was to be divided between student organizations, UCOSA, and athletics. Voting was held at both the University Center and Central Cafeteria, two of the buildings frequented most by students. Voters were to present their student ID cards, make a couple of

quick marks on a ballot, and deposit the slip of paper in a box. The entire process took a matter of seconds, and yet a large number of students probably didn't bother going through the process. Voter Apathy strikes again. How is a college student, with a plethora of projects on their plate, to tackle this troll? By getting up and making an informed vote, that's how. If you are involved in any campussponsored organization, you had no excuse not to make your voice heard- you are the people who would benefit most from Wednesday's vote. At that, there isn't a single student who shouldn't have had a say in whether or not their fees will be increased. Next week is the Really Big Vote- it's time to have your say in who leads our country and who represents you on the state level. Kill Voter Apathy. Vote.

AROUND THE WORLD AFRICA MOSHI, Tanzania—With presidential and parliamentary elections just three days away, politicians here are promising Tanzanians a host of goodies if they just put an "X" beside their candidates' names. There are promises of free education and health care. Some, like the Tanzanian Labor Party, are vowing to default on the nation's foreign debt and invest that money in social services. One of the main opposition parties, the Civic United Front (CUF), says it will make essential drugs available to the public within 100 days of taking office.

ASIA THAILAND, Bangkok—The violent protests against a $1 billion gas pipeline project in Thailand are a warning to the Southeast Asian nation to tread carefully on its new road to democracy, say political analysts. Last weekend saw an eruption of popular anger over the scheme, which would allow natural gas to be piped through a 350 km line that links southern Thailand and neighboring Malaysia in the south. Hundreds of villagers and environmental activists clashed with police and forcibly broke up an Oct. 21 public hearing in the southern city of Hat Yai.

MIDDLE EAST LEBENON, Beirut—For 50 years, the Arab-Israeli conflict has meant wars, skirmishes, and victims. Adapting to modern times, the struggle has now expanded to cyberspace, as Israel, Lebanon and the Palestinians try to destroy each other's sites. This latest cyberwar started on Sept. 29, a day after the beginning of the current wave of Palestinian-Israeli clashes. Two of Hizbollah's websites have

come under intense pressure with an increase in hits. This increase could be explained by a rise in interest around the world about Hizbollah, considering that Palestinians and Hizbollah are both engaged in a struggle with Israel.

LATIN AMERICA MEXICO, Mexico City—The Mexican newspaper Excelsior, once considered a premiere daily in Latin America, has been in agony since the employeeowners threw out the board of directors. The paper, founded in 1917, currently employs 1,500 people, but it has no more than a month of life left, a source close to ousted editor-in-chief Regino Diaz told IPS. On Oct. 20, amid blows and shouts, the members of the daily's cooperative prevented Diaz from leading an assembly in which they were to discuss the sale or closing of the Excelsior, whose circulation fell in the last 10 months from 100,000 to 25,000 copies.

EUROPE BELGIUM, Brussels—Austria's threat to block the Czech Republic's accession to the European Union (EU) over concerns about nuclear safety has underscored the need for international standards for atomic energy, says Friends of the Earth-Europe (FoEE). In recent weeks, Austrian antinuclear demonstrators have repeatedly blockaded CzechAustrian border crossings to protest the start-up this month of the Temelin nuclear power plant, located 50 kilometers from the Austrian frontier. Czech authorities say that modifications to the Soviet-era plant by Westinghouse and other contractors have brought it into line with international safety standards, protestors argue that the hybrid makes it even more dangerous.

othing ventured, nothing gained!" For more than 100 years UCO has been funding its educational programs through inadequate state allocations. UCO must now come to terms with developing new sources and techniques of funding in order to better achieve its mission in the future. Supplemental sources of funding will require answering new legal, ethical and practical questions concerning low additional resources and should effectively benefit the total campus cultural environment. Fundamental definitions for campus cultural identity and focused goals are needed. UCO has long suffered from being perceived as only a means to the end and not an end in itself. Alumni do not want to feel like people without a country. Powerful new models for funding educational environments are exemplified by pioneering programs such as the MIT Media Lab and the Oklahoma University Medical Center. In them we see the educational process contribute to the development of new knowledge through creative research, intellectual property sharing and technology

commercialization profit centers. Faculty and students are empowered through undergraduate and graduate research to share the fruits of their labors with the institutional environment that educated, nurtured and supported their efforts. Recent Oklahoma legislation #680 and #681 empowered all state institutions to explore commercialization partnership possibilities. How can UCO benefit from such interactions? Certainly, provision of new University apartments financed through third party funding was a good beginning. We now need earnest UCO policies and procedures to encourage or at least permit research and commercialization relationships to exist. We must then enlist them to help make UCO a social hub and profitable center for cultural life. UCO should become a destination site for educational experience, interaction and career opportunities. Hopefully, success in partnership initiatives will also breed success at soliciting donor interest in contributing to worthwhile projects for campus community goals. "Ask and you will receive" has certainly been the story of Oklahoma University's recent fundraising program. But again there is need for UCO policies, ethical procedures and clear aspirations to inspire and in good faith fulfill diverse donor interests. All of these new resources and goals require a campus wide integration and definition of the University's changing cultural identity. Hopefully, administrative support for definition of such efforts will be forthcoming. •

CO volleyball ended a three-match losing streak with their 3-0 wins over three unlucky opponents. The Bronchos prevailed over Lone Star Conference North Division rivals Midwestern State 15-6, 15-11, 15-11 on Oct. 28 and Texas Woman's University 15-6, 15-7, 15-4 on Oct. 27. Early in the week on Oct. 24, the Bronchos swept past Southern Nazarene with a 15-7, 15-0, 15-12 victory. UCO coach Mark Herrin was impressed with how the team played against SNU. "We came out pretty focused and took it right to them," Herrin said. "We did a good job spreading things around and were pretty aggressive until the third game when we had a little letdown. But we finished strong and everybody got to play quite a bit." All 11 players saw plenty of action during the game. Lexy Fortner had nine kills and 11 digs while Katy Wallace had eight kills in just 14 attacks and added five assisted blocks. Kim Keiser chipped in seven kills, with Stacey Meek getting 39 assists and two serve aces while handling the setter duties. The Bronchos took their skills to the net with their wins over MSU and TWU. Alma Brahimaj had 19 kills and 10 digs while Lexy Fortner added 10 kills and 15 digs against MSU.

SPORTS Sports Briefs COLLEGE FOOTBALL Oklahoma picked up 54 of 58 possible first-place votes and is the new No.1 team in the latest ESPN/USA TODAY coaches' poll, released Sunday, Oct. 29. The Sooners (7-0) dominated then-No. 1 Nebraska, 38-14, on Saturday Oct. 28, and on Sunday received a total of 1,470 points from a nationwide panel of coaches to move into the nation's top spot after starting the season ranked 20th. Oklahoma, which defeated three consecutive top-10 teams, had one first-place vote prior to the victory over the Cornhuskers (7-1). Four coaches still do not believe that the Sooners are the best team in the nation and gave their first-place votes to No. 2 Virginia Tech (8-0). The Hokies, who trail Oklahoma by 67 points, visit third-ranked Miami (6-1) next weekend. While Oklahoma, Virginia Tech and Miami have the inside track at playing for the national title in the Orange Bowl on January 3, several schools are still in contention for the championship game. They include fourth-ranked Florida State (8-1) and No. 5 Florida (7-1) and a pair of Pac-10 Conference teams, No. 7 Washington (7-1) and No. 8 Oregon (7-1). With Nebrasks's loss, No. 9 Texas Christian (7-0) is now riding the nation's longest winning streak at 12 consecutive victories. The Horned Frogs are followed in the poll by Clemson (8-1), Southern Mississippi (61), Michigan(6-2), Purdue (7-2), Oregon State (7-1) and Kansas State (7-2) Purdue climbed three spots after defeating Ohio State to move one step closer to its first Rose Bowl appearance since 1966, when Bob Griese was the Boilermakers' quarterback. Ohio State (6-2) slipped three notches to No. 19. Clemson fell six places to 10th and Kansas State dropped seven notches to 15th after suffering upset losses to Georgia Tech and now-No. 25 Texas A&M (6-2). Joining the Aggies as newcomers to this week's poll is No. 23 Northwestern (6-2), which beat Minnesota on a last-play pass. North Carolina State and Arizona fell from the rankings after losses. No. 16 Notre Dame (6-2) rose three places after an overtime victory over Air Force, but Georgia (6-2) lost to Florida and dropped from 12th to 17th. The Bulldogs are on top of fellow Southeastern Conference member Mississippi State (5-2). Rounding out the poll are Ohio State, Texas (6-2), Colorado State (7-1), Auburn (7-2) and No. 24 South Carolina(7-2), which plummeted seven rungs after suffering a loss to Tennessee that dealt its SEC title hopes a severe blow.

One Edmond house truly haunted, resident says BY MENA GANESAN

Staff Writer host and paranormal activity are not unique to the Halloween season, but at this spooky time of year, creepy occurrences and ghoulish hauntings dominate the 1000-year-old holiday revelry. One of the most terrifying tales of ghostly hauntings in Oklahoma maintains residence in "the most haunted house in Edmond." This story was told by a former UCO student and mother who had rented the house. The names of the haunting victims and the address of the house remain confidential to protect the current occupants of the house. Read on, if you dare ... "I wanted to write to tell you about my haunted home experience here in Edmond. We moved into this rented home when my daughter, who will be seven next month, was only about two years

old. I lived with my second husband, whom my daughter calls "daddy" and she was not familiar with her biological father at that time (this info will become pertinent in the next few paragraphs). "This house is just four blocks south of the UCO campus in a beautiful, older tree-lined neighborhood. I first got the strange feeling that something was wrong while I was driving my daughter around one day. I lit a cigarette (something that I am not proud of, by the way) and my two-year-old daughter said 'Mom, smoking is bad for you, you could die.' "Feeling crushed and embarrassed, I said, 'Oh no baby, neither one of us is going to die for a very long time.' "My daughter replied `uh, uh Mommy, I died a long time ago and my Dad was sad.' "My daughter was not familiar with the term 'Dad,' nor did she ever call my husband 'Dad.' It was always 'Daddy.'

"Things started getting really occurred. then dispatch called and other strange after that.

Ghosts thrive in university setting, phenomena expert says BY MARCO BUSCAGLIA

Wire Reporter

et's face it, college can be a scary place. Students have to worry about flunking out of school, running out of money and catching those pesky sexually transmitted diseases. Throw a few unhappy ghosts into the mix and your days on campus can be a downright frightening experience. "There's just so much going on in college buildings when you think about their history, not to mention some of the high anxieties people have when they're in school," says Richard Crowe, a "If people pay supernatural phenomena attention to them expert based in Chicago. and let them co"Ghosts can exist, they're thrive on those usually fine. The anxieties. They can tap problems into the sometimes start worries that people when people try have." Still, to deny that they Crowe says exist in the first most ghosts just want to place." be noticed. "If people —Richard Crowe p a y phenomena expert attention to them and let them co-exist, they're usually fine," Crowe says. "The problems sometimes start when people try to deny that they exist in the first place." Students may be welcoming ghosts without even realizing it. William Hauck, a Dennis paranormal phenomena expert, says university settings are the perfect place for ghosts to exist. "Usually, behind a lot of hauntings and ghost cases are emotions," says Hauck, author of "The National Directory of Haunted Places." "Since there are so Many pressures on students both in and out of the classroom, it's understandable that emotions run high. And ghosts feed on thOse emotions." So the next time you hear something go bump in the night — and you're sure your roommate isn't home yet — you can take some solace in the fact that when it comes to creepy campuses, you're not alone. Students at Stonehill College in

North Easton, Mass., have reported seeing the ghost of Freddie Ames roaming the campus. Ames, the original owner of the property, died in a plane crash in the 1930s. According to legend, Ames instructed his servant to light the runway on his property at night while he was away flying, but the servant forgot. When Ames came in for a landing, the only light he saw was a lamp on the third floor of his mansion. Mistaking that for the runway, the pilot crashed to his death. Now whenever there is a blue mist from the pond on campus, it is believed that Ames is looking for his forgetful servant. The Joe E. Brown and Eva Marie Saint Theater at Bowling Green State University in Ohio is haunted by Alice, an actress who reportedly was killed on-stage while playing Desdemona in Shakespeare's Othello. Alice often interferes with the theater department's performances by shorting out the lighting and scattering the props, but only if she isn't personally invited to the performance. So after the final dress rehearsal of each production, the director heads to the stage, where he or she invites the spirit to be the department's guest. If asked, the actress always obliges, and the shows run without any problems. Before the school moved into a new facility, the ghost of a former professor once roamed the halls of VanderCook College of Music at night in Chicago. One of the school's first instructors, H.E. Nutt, died of old age after spending the final years of his life living in the school. Nutt would give lessons at all hours, accommodating students who wished to take their lessons well after midnight. Student-employees who had been in the building after hours to clean reported hearing drawers shutting, chairs moving and doors slamming when there is no one else in the building. On some instances, students heard string quartets practicing at 2:00 a.m. when no one else was there. Fisher Hall at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio has a long history of hauntings. Throughout stints as a women's college and a sanitarium, residents of Fisher Hall have reported seeing moving objects and hearing mysterious noises. When the building became a

freshmen dormitory in the 1950s, Fisher resident Ronald Tammen disappeared from campus. His belongings were placed in their normal fashion in his room; his car was found locked and parked in the student lot; and his life was seemingly in perfect order, according to authorities. A massive nationwide search turned up nothing, and Tammen was never found. A few months later, students in the dorm often heard a voice singing in the woods directly behind the building. A few days later, students saw a longhaired, tall figure walking

toward the building while singing. Numerous sightings have taken place in and around the building, which is now a theater. Members of the Delta Sigma Phi house on the Kansas State University campus often experience the final frontier from their Star Trek-loving ghost. The building, which was a hospital before the fraternity took it over, is home to George, the ghost of an elderly patient who died after falling off his bed. He suffocated while wedged between the bed and the wall.

George was a big Star Trek fan, a fondness that obviously continues even after his death, say fraternity members. In 1973, an ice storm knocked out power on the entire KSU campus for several days. But at the Delta Sigma Phi house, electricity was mysteriously restored every day from 4-5 p.m., just long enough for George and the men of Delta Sigma Phi to catch the Star Trek rerun on a local station. James Whitcomb, an Indiana governor in the 1800s, donated his collection of books to the DePauw University Library in Greencastle, Ind., with the understanding that they never leave the building. Obviously, Whitcomb meant what he said. Although they are listed as reference books that are supposed to stay in the library, students have occasionally taken a book or two home with them. Many of those students have reported a visiting ghost that night, possibly Whitcomb, telling them to bring the books back to the library. When a new library was built, Whitcomb's books were transferred to the site. Students and library staff have since reported seeing books from the collection floating near their shelves. •

read your article about the Creed concert and how you thought that Full Devil's Jacket and Collective Soul was better than Creed. Exactly where were your seats? Inside or outside? I went to the concert and Creed totally blew me away with their stage display and also their song selections were awesome. I thought your article was a put-down to Creed and also to the true Creed fan. I thought that Full Devil's jacket was mediocre and that Collective Soul was great, but Creed was the best. Thanks for your time. A true Creed fan, Tim Donmoyer

U.S. had warning 12 hours before Cole blast, Pentagon official says BY JOHN DIAMOND

Chicago Tribune reporter

S. intelligence warned of a possible terrorist attack against American assets in Yemen 12 hours before the suicide bombing of the USS Cole in a Yemeni port killed 17 sailors and almost sank the $1 billion destroyer, a senior Pentagon official disclosed Wednesday. The warning lacked information specific enough to enable the military to take preventive action, said Walter Slocombe, undersecretary of defense for policy. But its existence raised new questions among lawmakers about whether the Clinton administration was responding adequately to terrorist warnings in the Mideast. It was the second startling disclosure during a day of congressional hearings into the attack. Earlier in the day, lawmakers revealed that a Pentagon intelligence analyst had resigned the day after the bombing, complaining to superiors that his warnings of terrorist threats against U.S. forces in the Mideast dating to June were ignored. The analyst, lawmakers said, warned in his resignation letter that "two or three other major acts of terrorism" could occur in the coming months, based on his assessment of available

intelligence. House and Senate committees held public and closed hearings Wednesday into the Cole bombing, in which two men steered a small craft alongside the 505-foot warship, which was refueling in Aden, Yemen, and touched off an estimated 500 pounds of explosives. The blast ripped a 40-foot hole in the steel hull of the ship. Its shockwaves continue to ripple through Washington as lawmakers and senior administration officials consider how to protect the 21,000 U.S. service members deployed in the Persian Gulf region. "The continued forward deployment of our military units in .man,y places around the world remains an absolutely essential part of our national security," said Sen. John Warner, RVa., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. "But we must strike, as a nation, the proper balance between the risks that are assumed by our men and women in uniform ... and the requirement for U.S. presence in strategic locations worldwide." The crippled Cole still sits in Aden with its remaining crew of 216 awaiting a floating dry-dock ship that will bring it back to its home port of Norfolk, Va., for an estimated $150 million repair job. More than 100 FBI investigators and officials from U.S.

intelligence agencies, along with local authorities, are investigating the blast. A Yemeni carpenter who told officials he helped two men modify a boat to carry explosives was in custody Wednesday. Officials are uncertain if the man knew of the plan to attack the destroyer. A woman who allegedly bought the car that towed the explosives-laden boat to the water is being questioned. Meanwhile, in a development outside the hearings, a senior defense official, providing new details to a report that surfaced Monday, said U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf states of Bahrain and Qatar were placed on high alert over the weekend because U.S. officials got wind of plans for terrorist attacks on multiple targets in both countries. The targets included a school in Bahrain that is attended by American and other international children, the official said. The school was closed indefinitely on Monday. Other targets included the U.S. Embassies in Manama, the Bahrain capital, and Doha, the capital of Qatar, the official said. Another report said U.S. officials uncovered plans for a terrorist attack on a military airfield in Bahrain used by U.S. aircraft. •

wow. T44, Woiate.44 HOROSCOPES BY DAVE THE GREAT, STAFF MYSTIC ARIES : ( MARCH 21 - APRIL 19 ) This week, too much candy will lead to a heart attack, landing you in a hospital bed next to a male Cher impersonator.

TAURUS : ( APRIL 20 - MAY 20 ) Your Halloween will be ruined in a fit of sugar-withdrawal when you get into a fight with one of those wacky people who hand out religious pamphlets instead of candy.

Wearing a costume to look like one of your professor's childhood icons may get you a decent grade in class.

Puking in an alleyway does not make you the life of the party, but it will result in your ownership of that rented costume.

LEO : ( JULY 23 - AUG 22 ) Many people will write you letters this week to tell you your sense humor is not funny. They are probably all escapees from mental Asylums for the criminally boring and should be treated accordingly.

VIRGO : ( AUG 23 - SEPT 22 ) Nudity is not an acceptable costume. Especially for you.

LIBRA : ( SEPT 23 - OCT 23 ) Stop telling all your friends and co-workers that you plan to go to a big party for Halloween. Sitting at home watching Gilligan's Island re-runs and eating peanut butter straight from the jar does not qualify as a party.

SCORPIO : (OCT 24 - NOV 21) After looking at Scorpio's stars, I advise avoiding haunted houses this week. Unless you are not embarrassed to be seen crying like a 12-year-old girl that is.

SAGITTARIUS : ( NOV 22 - DEC 21 ) Ok, holiday safety tip for Sagittarius: When crossing the street dressed in black costumes such as Ninjas or Beatniks, do not try to jump out of the way of oncoming vehicles, they can see you just fine. You can thank me later.

CAPRICORN : (DEC 22 - JAN 19) After looking into my crystal ball at your future, it is not the sheer brevity of your life that amuses me, but the large number of angry, screaming OU fans that occupy the last minutes of it.

AQUARIUS : ( JAN 20 - FEB 18 ) Take a hint from Sagittarius: never listen to a humor columnist's advice after you spill beer on him.

PISCES : ( FEB 19 - MARCH 20 ) Oh, what the heck, it's a holiday. You will have an interesting week coming to a climax Sunday when the moon enters Pisces at 2:13 p.m., creating a perfect chance for self-exploration and creativity. With the moon in its waxing phase and just starting its second quarter, you will have the opportunity to make your name more well-known. Just remember not to combine the self-exploration with the chance to make your name more well-known, unless you want to be in the same league with George Michael and Pee-Wee Herman. Comments, complaints, death threats and marriage proposals can be sent to our staff mystic at DaveGotBored@collegeclub.com , or you can IM him through DaveGotBored on AOL/IM.
