onstruction on the $9.2 million Wellness Center will begin after groundbreaking ceremonies Tuesday. The center will be located on the north side of the University Suites and has been on the agenda since late 1999, said Keith Weber, assistant to the president. "We visited several campuses to get an idea of what we wanted, for • comparison purposes," he said. He said they hoped to begin construction sooner, but there were several delays. Some delays include student focus groups and working out financing the money. "We wanted student input in the design process. This took a little longer than we thought." He said the surveys helped
shape the plans for the center. Some of the results include, "Lots of recreational court space, an indoor jogging track and a greatly expanded fitness space. About 7,000 sq. ft." Sophomore management information systems student, Samantha Evans said it would be worth having the center if it didn't raise tuition. "If I had weights available, I would use them," Evans said. Other students said since it was included in their tuition, they would take advantage of it. Freshman nursing student, Lysa Andrews said, "It's easier PHOTO BY LEITH LAWS having it on campus because I Roger Webb explains to dignitaries, faculty, the President Dr. don't have to drive or pay any general public and members of the press that the Wellness Center membership." will offer added benefits to UCO's campus.

The center will offer exercise equipment, aerobic rooms and will house some classrooms, Johnson said. For students, the cost is included in the student activity fee. Faculty and staff will have a small fee, Johnson said. Students that are now paying for the center in the student activity fee and will graduate before its completion may not be left out. "We are still working that out. We may try to offer a discounted membership if they are part of the alumni association and live in the metro area. We like to keep our alumni connected with the University," Weber said. • PHOTO BY LEITH LAWS

eople in Thatcher Hall and the Art Building must have been ecstatic P Tuesday with the groundbreaking ceremony for the $9.2 million Wellness Center. Hopefully by next summer they will have a modem, up-to-date sauna to use instead of those stuffy old offices. One business professor commented this was the least productive summer of his career because his office in Thatcher was unbearable in July and August. The Art Building was like a ghost town with most of the classes having been moved to other buildings.
The center will arguably be a keystone for recruiting new students. President Webb wants students to have a better campus attachment, which might eventually bring in more alumni donations. The problem is what happens when students cannot study because of unbearable conditions in the classrooms? We also have a vacant dormitory — East Hall — because the university did not have the funds to maintain it. Last winter the residents of West Hall spent the three coldest weeks without heat.

UCO education graduates rank fifth in state BY DANIEL HOLDGE Staff Writer

he report cards are out, and Oklahoma Education graduates are making the grades to prove they are some of the most prepared in the nation. In the 2001 report on national passing rates, National Evaluation Systems Inc. showed that graduates of teacher education programs from Oklahoma's public universities had an average passing rate of 89 percent on the three tests the Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation requires for licensure in Oklahoma. When asked if the UCO education program is one of the best in Oklahoma, Education Dean Judith Coe said in one word, "absolutely." The three tests graduates are required to take are — the Oklahoma General Education Test (OGET), the Oklahoma Subject Area Test (OSAT) and the Oklahoma Professional Teaching Examination (OPTE). The test results are based on
the 2000 graduates. According to tests, UCO had a passing rate of the results of those three tests, 97 and 99 percent, tied for third UCO students are passing with in each one.

SPORTS Soccer's winning streak is over as Bronchos fall 2-1 BY RYAN Ross
Sports Editor
he 13-game home-winning streak is over for the Bronchos soccer team as Southern Colorado's dominating defense stopped Kim Brown and the UCO offense cold on Sunday, Sept. 30. No. 19-ranked UCO dropped the heartbreaker decision, 2-1. The Bronchos came out of the corral quick, at the opening, outshooting Southern Colorado 18-6. The Thunderwolves aim was better as they scored on their first two shots of the game to take an early lead. USC defense controlled the game by shutting out Kim Brown who entered the match as the top scorer in the NCAA Division II. Southern Colorado kept Brown scoreless for only the second time this season. `We weren't ready to play and it showed," UCO coach Mike Cook said. "We came out and just went through the motions at the first and got behind and they did a good job of slowing us down." "It's a disappointing loss and it really hurts us, but we're just going to have to find a way to put

Southern Colorado put the first score on the board just 3:33 into the game when Katie Leonards chipped in a shot from 20 yards away and the Thunderwolves made it 2-0 at the 18:40 mark on a goal by Michelle Brown. The Bronchos answered USC's score with a scoring run from Valerie Gutierrez just seconds later to move within one at 2-1. Gutierrez nailed the shot from 20 feet away for her fifth goal of the season. The Bronchos, despite dominating play, missed a couple
a scoring opportunities during the first half then failed to score during the remaining 45 minutes of play. UCO had seven shots to just one for USC in the second half, but could not come up with the tying goal.

NEW YORK: What happens now? continued from page 5 He said the major musicals, such as Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables, are in serious trouble right now, due to their tourismdriven status. He said he is not certain smaller productions like his will survive, because many of them have already closed down. "There have been a lot of pleas here for people to support all of these shows, and there has been a response, locally anyway. I think it will take a lot of time for that scene to get back to normal as well." Brawner is one of several UCO graduates living and working in New York.

REVIEW Meant2B releases debut single Oct. 16 BY MICHAEL LARSON
Staff Writer
&B group Meant2B will round out their first year together with the Oct. 16 release of their debut single "It's Over." The quartet of UCO students say they do their own legwork and write their own lyrics, emphasizing harmony and production. "A lot of people hear our music but don't know we're from UCO," said Tre McCoy, a corporate communications junior. McCoy said the band has attracted the attention of recording labels Jive and Epic. Dele Olasiji, computer science and management information systems senior, said, "They want to see how well we hold it down in Oklahoma before they sign us." McCoy and Olasiji started their first musical project together several years ago. McCoy said, "I've been studying music since I was a kid, with [Jackson Five's] ABC and Kris Kross. My mom was like, 'be quiet boy!'" "We used to bang on everything

REVIEW Alexandrakis ahead of his time 17,
fter listening to Erik Alexandrakis' I. V. Catatonia for over a week on my long commutes to school, I have realized that this particularly strange compilation of sounds and chants has a somewhat familiar ring. It's the ring of my annoying past. The album reminisces the bangs and swirls of me mixing chemicals together in the sink, as a child, just to see if they would blow up. Erik brought out the Hellmann's to this late night picnic of the damned. I rate this album the honor of three sticky Twinkies. The first half of the album, entitled "Treatment 1 " , was rough and requires repeated listening for the genius to be understood. It brings a flavor of something new and not quite of its own time. Very rarely does a new CD come along with fresh new angles to music. This one surely does.

Sept. 27, 2:42 a.m. UCO police were notified when a student recieved a strange phone call.
y boyfriend and I have been together for almost three years and have had a very honest relationship from the start. Lately I am beginning to be a little suspicious of where he is going at night. We live together, but on Saturday nights we go out with our friends and agree to meet back at our apartment by 2:30 a.m. For the last three weeks, he has been late by at least 2 hours and has come home covered in what looks like shimmery body paint. He swears he has been going out with his buddies, but I just don't think he's telling me the whole truth. What should I do and where do you think he's been spending his Saturday nights? ---:- Dumbfounded in OKC
He Said:
im
any people believe that you must trust each other to be in a caring, committed relationship. They also say you should try to talk through your issues and address any concerns you have in an adult manner. Screw that, just smack him in the head with a baseball bat and call it a day. (editor's note: do not smack him in the head with a baseball bat.) Heck, for 20 bucks, I know a guy who will do it for you (editor's note: do not pay one of Dave's friends $20 to smack your boyfriend in the head with a baseball bat.). If all else fails, just follow him next Saturday to see who he is rubbing up against. If she is a hottie, and you get in a big hair-pulling fight, please send me Polaroids. (editor's note: perhaps it would be best if you ignore Dave's half of the column entirely, and skip ahead to Beth's.)
She Said:
I
f your boyfriend is coming home covered with glitter, it's likely he's been spending his time one of two places. Either one of his buddies is RuPaul or he's been frequenting one of those so-called "adult" entertainment establishments (where no real adult would be caught dead). If you have no problem with his stuffing dollars down some strange girl's G-string (among the other activities that supposedly go on in those places), then let it go. Otherwise, be up front with him and tell him what you suspect. Don't nag, but ask him why he didn't tell you about it. In the meantime, go out with your girlfriends and have a marvelous time without him.
Dear He Said She Said,
H
ow do you deal with the fact you might never graduate college? I am a sixth year senior here at UCO and just can't seem to finish it out. It all started five years ago in what was supposed to be my final two semesters. I had been such a conscientious student up to that point, but I started finding it hard to get myself to class, and it's been a downward spiral ever since. Why do you think I can't seem to break this habit? Should I just give up?
