Suites president faces impeachment
by Sherrod Wall Staff Writer Suites residents protested against Megan Chamber's, president of Suites Hall Council, at a Suites Hall Council meeting Sept. 30. A petition signed by 80 residents requesting the impeachment of Chambers was brought to the meeting. "I think the petition is a great way for the students to voice their opinions and it also is an accurate way to discern what the students need and want," said David Ahlgren, suites resident. "The petition is a symbol of the unity and determination of the suites residents who wish usher in change." The petition was created by Tegan Jones, a suites resident who attended one meeting and felt intimidated by how Chambers reacted to resident opinions. Jones created the petition to see if other Suites residents were unsatisfied with Chambers's ability to run her office. Steven Horn, the Suites 4th
floor resident advisor, and Ahlgren dissented after Megan informed everyone present at a council meeting that a run-off was going to be held for Suites Hall Council president that night. "David and I disagreed with how the whole election had progressed, and when we gave our opinions, we were shut down by [Chambers]," Horn said. Jones said she gained a negative impression of Chambers' job performance in the first Council meeting Jones attended. "When I went to my first meeting it wasn't a good experience for me. I felt like Megan wasn't listening to peoples views," Jones said. "[Chambers] should take the residents' thoughts into consideration, she shouldn't talk down to people." "I was intimidated after Megan talked down to David, so I didn't feel like my opinion was welcome at the council, so after the run-off that occurred that night I started to work on the petition," she said. Jones, sponsored by Horn, put together a petition that was

the right thing to do because I had no idea anything was wrong." Chambers said Jones should have tried to settle the problem with her first. "Residents are always welcome to come and talk to me if they have any suggestions or complaints," she said.
Patrick Sullivan, Suites Hall Council senator, said that he agrees with Chambers and that he thinks the petition was too extreme of an action. "The creator of the petition should have come to [Chambers] with their concerns," Sullivan said. "This attack wasn't on Megan, but on her office," Hernandez said. "She should be prepared to handle whatever comes her way, and she isn't handling it the way she should, resulting in the petition created by [Jones]," she said. "The Hall Council hasn't done anything since the Suites have opened two and a half years ago," Horn said. "I've been here since the opening and have yet to see any changes in the Suites, and I feel like [Chambers] isn't doing anything to fix it at all," he said. "I worked really hard last year. My campaign for president included getting the Suites Hall Council recognized as a campus organization," Chambers said. "We didn't have a constitution until the end of last year."
"My first priority for suites hall council was to build up our organization to get it recognized on campus. This is the first year we have a senator going to all the UCOSA meetings," she said. "I'm now in touch with all of the Hall presidents on campus we have our senator going out UCOSA meetings, I've done what I said I was going to do in my campaign already and were only 3 months into the school year." Chambers said. "I haven't done one thing wrong, I haven't made any promises that I haven't followed through with. I've done everything I said I was going to do,',' she said. According to Chambers, everything on the list isn't valid except for talking down to Horn and Ahlgren. "I admit that I was hateful at the meeting but I was in defense mode," Chambers said. Mandy Butin, a suites resident, said that the situation is too dramatic, and the altercation with Chambers and the residents ,

The Black Student Association held a fashion show Oct. 1st in the Nigh University Center's Constitution Hall. To celebrate the seventh annual show during Homecoming Week, the BSA featured 30 members as models on the runway. The fashion show is one of the BSA's annual fundraisers. Money was raised to help fund community service projects and to help send members to the leadership conference. "The purpose of the show is to show the fashion of the African American community," said Chris Ihegboro, president of BSA and junior forensic chemistry major. Ihegboro said that the
event was to not only celebrate homecoming, but to unite all student organizations. Patrice Stephens, former president of the BSA, provided hip-hop music for the event. "The fashion show reflects a different cultural style," she said. "It shows diversity with in all the organizations." Wynita Harris, junior art education major of Delta Sigma Theta sorority, said that she supported her sorority sisters that modeled in the show. "This brings everyone together," she said. "It expresses our Greek unity." Jawae Smith, junior kenesiology major of Alpha Fi Alpha fraternity, said the best part of the night was seeing his fraternity brothers providing entertainment.
"Tonight is all about fun while each Greek house is recognized," he said. To close the night, several Greek houses from the National Panhellinic Council performed a preview for the "Get Low Stomp Show" competition Oct. 4th. "Tonight we filled the house and broke down racial barriers," Ihegboro said. "It showed that we all have love for each other." Nearly 350 Central students attended the event. The fashion show featured several urban styles from sponsoring clothing companies. The models sported outfits from The Buckle, Body Central, Gingiss Formal Wear at Quail Springs Mall and Dillard's, Charolette Russe, and Gadzooks from Penn Square Mall.

The American Way, though flawed, represents the best parts of American life American as apple pie, baseball and rock 'n' roll, so the saying goes. To some people the concept is personified in the image of Uncle Sam or "Old Glory," our famous Stars and Stripes. For me, the term "American" is much more than this. Just as the citizens of the United States are a melting pot of various racial heritages, personal backgrounds and religious beliefs, I believe the description of what is American is a conglomeration of many things. The first part of this national spirit is initiative and imagination, traits that are so characteristic of Americans that they have been termed "Yankee ingenuity." This is what gave us the telephone and light bulb, items we use daily, as well as the sewing machine, camera and microwave. American initiative is also responsible for making the son of a dry goods clerk and a penniless Scottish immigrant into two of the richest men in the nation. J.P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie gave over half a billion dollars, to philanthropic work during their lifetimes. Obviously not everyone achieves such remarkable success, but this ingenuity is still part of our national identity. Another aspect of American is fortitude under adversity. This irrepressible spirit has been captured in the songs of George M. Cohan such as "Over There" and "Grand Old
Yeah. Choice. Webster's says choice is, "The act of selection; the opportunity, right, or power to choose; freedom of action; the act of selecting among alternatives." Selecting among alternatives. Yeah we get alternatives but they're only slight variations trickling down the slippery slope from one big Apex. What we need is Real Choice. Real alternatives. The two main parties decide who we get to vote on to be our main man in the Big Office. And it's from these slim pickins' where we get our "choice." What we're actually left with is trying to distinguish the lesser of two evils. Our choice goes something like this... Someone comes up to you with a handful of M&M's, all the colors sitting there in their hand leaving that lovely rainbow imprint on the palm. And you're sitting there thinking, "Alright. I get to pick which color I want," as your mouth waters, ready to cure that powerful lust you have for the yellow ones. Yeah, the yellow ones. You've got your eyes on the yellow. But before the offer is extended for you to have one, the proprietor of the M&M's goes through and picks some of the colors out — including the choice yellows. All that's left is a green a brown, and a broken up red one. "Here ya' go," they say. "Your choice." You want to slap the guy for taking all the other colors away because
Heart of the American Dream with. Gavin Eiriot Your vote doesn't matter. Don't kid yourself. I'm saying this only because it's better to know the Reality of the situation rather than to just go on pretending. When you know the Reality of the situation, that's when you can go about changing it — for the better. How did our current president slip n' slide into the White House? That's right — in the courts. When you get down to it, the actual election really had nothing to do with the final decision except as some charade to make us feel like we had something to do with it. Hail to the Chief. After that "election" was all said and done with, I felt robbed. Cheated in some way. Like a mother asking her young son, "What would you like for dinner?" Then when the young boy meekly replies, "I would like a Sloppy Joe with a side of fries and ketchup please mum," she laughs and smiles a condescending smile and shakes her head saying, "Heh, it doesn't matter what you want. You're getting meat loaf, and you're gonna like it. I only asked to make you feel like you had a choice."
it doesn't really seem like a choice anymore. Sure these colors you're left with aren't all that bad, but it's the principal of the rotten action that's torquing on your nerves. You weren't given the full spectrum of selection you wanted and deserved. So, you pick the brown, which seems a better alternative than being left with nothing. And that, my fellow Americans, is the nut of it. So far the system has worked, with only a small handful of anomalies who somehow weaseled their way into office. But how long? How long before a system dependent on competent alert voters throws a piston and careens head-long into the guardrail because there are no longer any competent alert voters? Be competent. Be alert. Know what's going on in the government that speaks for us. There is duty in a democracy. So yeah, my opening remarks may have been misleading in that, your vote doesn't really determine who our next president is. Like I said...don't kid yourself. Where it is important — extremely important — is in participation. Keep the beast at bay before it jumps at your jugular. Without participation, we're doomed. Vote. "In a democracy, people usually get the kind of government they deserve." -Adlai Stevenson

Oklahoma tribes seek to lower diabetes risk among members LOCUST GROVE, Okla. (AP) _ A new report urges a community approach to preventing diabetes in Indian children, something some Oklahoma tribes are doing already through public schools. The new hurdles on the Locust Grove track, the heart rate monitors in gym classes and the gravel on a city park's walking path all came from a Cherokee Nation grant. It also paid for the laptop that physical education teacher Ladney Keener uses to track the fitness of more than 600 pupils _ all in hopes of preventing a disease many of them know too well. "I ask them, 'Who in here knows someone with diabetes?' " Keener said. "Nearly everyone raises their hands." The report published Monday in the October issue of Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, says a cooperative approach among health care providers, tribal authorities, schools, communities, state and federal agencies and businesses is critical to prevent diabetes in Indian children. Studies have shown that American Indian and Alaskan Native children have a higher rate than other ethnicities of Type 2 diabetes, once known as adultonset diabetes. These vulnerable groups may be the "canary in the coal mine," warning of hazards present for the entire population, the report says. In all U.S. children, Type 2 diabetes is expected to surpass cases
of juvenile diabetes within 10 years, it says. Obesity and a lack of exercise are the two most important prevention factors, said Dr. George Brenneman, a member of the Academy's Committee on Native American Child. Health. Because Indian populations generally share a strong sense of community, "there has to be really significant community action on that," he said. Tribes are seizing on that concept by opening wellness centers, starting exercise programs and addressing the issue of soda pop in schools, he said. Among other prevention programs, the Cherokee Nation gave more than $1 million last year to 17 northeast Oklahoma schools to buy equipment to help kids and communities get fit. One was a Cherokee high school and 16 were public schools with large Indian student populations. "We have the same challenges virtually the entire world is facing," said Teresa Chaudoin, director of the tribe's diabetes program. "People's lifestyles have changed. Fast food is a real problem. ... And rural kids watch TV and play video games just like everybody else." In Locust Grove, where more than 70 percent of the 1,500 students are Indian, Keener wants parents and teachers to be the role models for healthy lifestyles. That's why part of the grant was used to buy exercise equipment for a teachers' workout
room. He coordinates a community walking club and he and his wife voluntarily lead after-school aerobics. One local participant lost 52 pounds last year, he said. "If parents and the community get excited about it, the kids will feed off of it," Keener said. The Choctaw Nation has diabetes-prevention programs that target fifth-graders in 22 public schools. The tribe also sponsors a wellness program for third graders and a puppet show for preschoolers in Head Start classes. The tribe has started to see an increase in youth with Type 2 diabetes, said Sharon Moore, director for healthy lifestyles. "It hasn't hit us to the degree other tribes have seen," she said. But "we are screening fifth graders" to catch the disease early. On Friday in Talihina, the tribe opened the Choctaw Nation Diabetes Wellness Center, a 12,000 square foot facility offering treatment and a workout center. Keener, who is Cherokee, tries to teach children they can avoid a disease that touches so many in the Indian community. He recalls his own grandmother's diabetic diet and family members with amputated limbs. Close friends have the disease, too. "You go in on a Tuesday to the Salina clinic," he said referring to a nearby Cherokee health clinic, "and you can't get in. It's diabetic day."

"I got all the candidates there and they got all of those people down there to vote, if I got up and said were not voting tonight they would have ,, been mad." Chambers said. Chambers said that none of the candidates complained about the elections and if they had she would have tried to postpone the elections. According to Horn the secretary elections were not coordinated properly at all. "I tried to voice my opinion about the secretary elections to only be shut down and ignored by Megan." He said. Hernadez's main concern was not how the secretary election was conducted but with how Chambers decides on what activities will take place for the suites. "My main concern about the whole issue is that parliamentary procedures are not being used in the council that is the residents aren't really allowed to be involved, and the officers are making most of the decisions." Hernandez said. "I don't make all the decisions on my own, I go through every one of my executive officers beforehand. According to Chambers she hasn't said anything in her meetings that her officers did not know about and vote on. Chambers also asserted that residents don't seem too eager to contribute ideas due to shyness. "After every meeting I ask all the residents if there are any complaints concerns or ideas for activities nobody says anything." Chambers said. Chambers said that one suggestion was taken into account and that residents just decided
not to participate in the event that they had decided to schedule.

"If she can admit that she made a mistake then she should be given a second chance. We're only human."

"[Chambers] organizational skills were lacking at the beginning of the year," Grassmyer said. "Organization is definitely a key quality for being a leader if you don't have it you don't know what's going on and you cant give anyone straight answers about anything." "There wasn't a roster for them to keep track of who voted so they didn't know if people voted twice or not," Hernandez said.

Josh Umar and Mike Camfield speak at the U.S. Patriot Act teach-in sponsored by Central's Democratic Socialists and the Philosophy Club Oct. 3.
Political teach-in educates students by Sherrod Wall Staff Writer A Patriot Act teach-in, sponsored by the Democratic Socialists and the Philosophy Club, informed students Oct. 3 about how the Patriot Act infringes on their civil liberties. The discussion began with a brief description from the Electronic Frontier Foundation of when and how the act went into effect and what it does. President Bush signed the US Patriot Act into law Oct. 26,
2001. With this law, new powers have been given to both domestic law enforcement and international intelligence agencies that have eliminated the checks and balances that previously gave courts the opportunity to ensure that these powers were not abused. According to Josh Umar, president of the Philosophy Club, around the time of Sept. 11, 2001, it was easy to get anything through Congress. "The Act was passed in a very emotional time period when American's were feeling vulnerable," Umar said. Umar said that the . Patriot Act is 342 pages long, and some of the act's sections amend existing government powers. Referring to those powers makes the act even longer. "Most of the people who voted for it didn't get a chance to read over it in its entirety," Umar
said. "So now that people on both sides of the political equation have gone back and begun to take a look at what they voted, and how the powers of the Act are being used they're getting a little concerned," he said. "That was scary but now we have the sequel — Patriot II — which is even scarier," Umar said. According to Section 201 of Patriot Act II, the government would no longer be required to disclose the identity of anyone, even an American citizen, detained in connection with a terror investigation — until criminal charges are filed, no matter how long that takes. "What I'm hoping to do today is have you guys develop an informed opinion as to whether or not you think as I do, that the Patriot Act and its successor Patriot II pose a threat to our civil liberties," Umar said. Umar said that he hoped that the audience of the teach-in would leave with a new informed opinion about the Patriot Act and then send a legitimate concern to Oklahoma Senators Don Nickles and James Inhoff. "This is something I think we should all be concerned about. Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Socialist — it doesn't matter," he said. "The Founding Fathers knew that threats to our civil liberties could come from not just other
governments but from within our own. The Bill of Rights is just as much a protection from our own government as it is from anybody who would invade us," Umar said. "We should all be asking ourselves whether or not this [the Patriot Act] constitutes a threat to our civil liberties," Umar said. Umar quoted from John Cohill, Republican majority leader of the Alaska House of Representatives who said the definition of terrorism is probably the biggest concern. He said a large amount of powers has been handed over to the Attorney General who gets to define what terrorism is and what -a - terrorist-, is', without any Judiciary review. Anti-Patriot Act resolutions have been passed by two states: Hawaii and Vermont. Resolutions have been adopted 150 counties and cities including Philadelphia. "Don't let any of the political name-calling scare you because there are plenty of people on both sides that are worried about this, so if you get concerned don't worry," Umar said. "You're not alone." Umar said that some of the people who are concerned about the Patriot Act include conservative power broker Grover Norquist, president of the American Conservative Union; Lori Waters, executive director of Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum; and ex-GOP
Representative Bob Barr of Georgia. "They attacked the new secretive powers the act gives the Justice Department and Norquist expressed a special concern 'Someday Hilary Clinton is going to be Attorney General, and I hope conservatives keep that in mind,"' he said. "Part of what's making the Patriot Act look so different in the eyes of so many Congress members and state legislators is a stream of protest driven by the American Library Association, which has firmly opposed the Patriot Act sections touching libraries," he said. To revoke the governments new power to secretly demand peoples library-borrowing and bookstore-purchasing records, 16 Republican House representatives are sponsoring the Freedom to Read Protection Act. "Attorney General John Ashcroft is trying to mislead the American people about what the Patriot Act allows them to do," Mike Camfield, a spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union, said. "They've said repeatedly that all it does is streamline to allow for the Justice Department to do a better job, and that there are courts involved to check it to prevent them from having unreasonable amounts of power," he said. According to Cornfield, Part A of Section 215 is enough to give the American people a sense of the kind of invasion the Patriot Act authorizes. Section 215 says that the director of the FBI or someone he has designated, whose rank is no lower than assistant special
agent in charge, may make an application to allow searches and seizures to obtain foreign intelligence to protect against international terrorism, or to protect against clandestine intelligence activities. "Under section 215 you don't have to be targeting a particular criminal activity. You merely have to say: 'We're seizing these particular things to further our investigation.' You wont have to point to a particular criminal activity or individualize suspicion of the person whose records or premise you're going to search, and that to me is particularly troubling to say the least," Camfield said. "Basically the act is watering down those fundamental rights that were created by the founders of our political system," he said. According to the Sept. 22, 2003 issue of The Nation, there exists a secret court known as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which hangs in a legal twilight zone with virtually no connection to the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. The FISC has steadily amassed more power to intrude on people's lives than any court in our history, and it has never denied a government application for a wiretap or search in more than 14,000 requests. However, according to Camfield, the court made a decision to deny a request made by Ashcroft to obtain more surveillance power under the Patriot Act. Camfield said that there was an instance in May 2002 where the judges of the FISC the judges issued a unanimous opin-
ion, rejecting a bid made by Ashcroft for more electronic surveillance power under the Patriot Act. According to Camfield after that historic opinion was issued it was overturned by a higher court known as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review, an appeals court that had never had to meet before because all of the requests made to the FISC were always granted. "So what we're looking at is the FBI and the Justice Department are being given anything the want in terms of surveillance of people," Camfield said. "But, there is something we can do," Camfield said. "Just this week, a few powerful members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, that are Republicans, have determined that they are going to submit an amendment to the appropriations bill for the United States Department of Justice. This amendment would put restrictions on many of the Patriot Act's provisions, such as Section 215," he said. "Senator Don Nickles sits on the rules committee. It would be within his power to cause problems for this amendment," Camfield said. "Within the next week we will be sending out alerts and encouraging people to contact Nickles just asking him not to block this move by the appropriations committee." To contact Senator Nickles send a letter to: 100 North Broadway, Suite 1820, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, or call (405) 231 4941.

patient's consent — something that can be difficult for medics treating a gunshot patient in the field to get. "EMSA won't tell us if there's an exit wound now, so we can never tell if we need to look for a bullet or not," Tulsa Police Cpl. Gene Watkins said. Homicide detectives in Watkins' unit have been especially affected in their ability to get information on violent crime victims via phone, Watkins said. "The hospitals won't tell us status (over the phone) anymore," he said. "When a detec-
The rules mandate that health providers, insurance companies and pharmacies not disclose patients' medical information without their permission. But Oklahoma homicide investigators say medical service providers, including the Emergency Medical Services
tive calls to follow up on a patient, they won't even tell us if they're there." The rules have had a particular impact on limiting information given to news organizations that routinely call hospitals to learn conditions of people injured in crimes, car accidents and other newsworthy events. But police and patients' families have also been affected.
Under the Tulsa Hospital Council's policy on HIPAA, anyone wanting information about a patient must have a patient's correct name, and the only information the hospital can give over the phone if the patient has given -
consent — is whether that person is a patient at that hospital and
the person's condition — good, fair, serious or critical. If a patient is not able to say yes or no, as in the case of emergency surgery or unconsciousness, most hospitals will not release any information. Families won't be able to get much more than a patient's condition over the phone, because medical service providers, under HIPAA, are obligated to verify a person's identity before releasing any information. Law-enforcement agencies still have traditional avenues, such as search warrants, to even-
tually get the medical information needed about crime victims. But waiting to go through the system that way can cause detectives to lose valuable time at crime scenes, Watkins said. EMSA has special consent forms for its patients to sign and preset criteria and rules for determining what information to release to family members of patients. For media, the agency will provide certain information that does not disclose a patient's identity, including gender and age in some cases, one-word descriptions of patient conditions, the general nature of the call, time
and general location. Tulsa County Sheriffs Chief Deputy Brian Edwards said his department experienced problems with HIPAA mostly in the first few days it was in effect. "At first, the biggest obstacle was if we were calling around to hospitals trying to find someone possibly injured in a crime or to find someone who may have committed a crime and been injured while committing it," Edwards said. "Now it's more difficult, because we have to have a name. But it hasn't created anything we can't overcome; it just takes a little time."

UCO drops LSC opener at home to rival Cameron by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor The UCO volleyball team fell to Cameron University (10-9) in their first home Lone Star Conference North division match on Oct. 2. The Aggies won the intense five-game battle with a 16-14 victory in the final game to improve to 1-0 in the North Division. The Bronchos got off to a quick start taking game one, 3022. Recording a .250 hitting percentage, the Bronchos were crisp offensively while holding CU to a .043 percentage. Their LSC North rival fought back in the second game. In one of the most competitive games of the match, both teams refused to
give a inch as the score remained close throughout the game. The gies were able to pull it out at the end taking the second game 32-30. In the third game, CU began to elevate their level of play as they took a lead then held off a UCO rally to take the game 3026. With their backs against the wall, the Central players responded. They played with renewed focus and intensity on offense posting a .260 hitting percentage in the game. They finished strong to take game four comfortably, 30-24. In the tiebreaking game, the intensity between to two conference rivals reached its peak. Both squads played outstanding defen-
sively, forcing multiple errors by both teams. Despite hitting .000 in the game, the Aggies were able to pull out the 16-14 victory by taking the final two points after the game was knotted at 14. Ashley Hemphill had a terrific game for the Bronchos recording a .353 hitting percentage with 22 kills and 11 digs. Tori Walker was brilliant as well, with team-high 23 kills and 18 digs of her own. Stacey Meek added team-high 19 digs and 63 assists in the loss. The Bronchos fell to 0-1 in the North division and 10-5 overall. UCO will next travel to Muskogee, Okla. to face Bacone on Oct. 7.

Bronchos still perfect
Lone Star Conference leader Central Oklahoma picked up their seventh straight victory Sunday afternoon over fifth-place Midwestern State by a score of 1-
o.
The nationally ranked UCO Bronchos defeated long time Lone Star Conference North Division rival Southwestern 2017 on a rainy homecoming Saturday at Wantland Stadium. The No.18 ranked Bronchos will most certainly move up in this week's national rankings having improved to 5-0 in their first season under head coach Chuck Langston. After the game, Langston voiced excitement for his team's performance yelling, "we're 5 and 0 baby, 5 and 0!" to the crowd of family and friends that had gathered outside the team locker room inside Hamilton Field House. "Of course I'm excited," said Langston. "We work hard around here." The final score gives no indication to how close the ball game was as the Bronchos dominated giving up only one sustained drive that lead to a Bulldog field goal late in the fourth quarter to give the game it's 20-17 final. Both of SWOSU's touchdowns came on big pass plays. The first being a deep ball down the sideline from quarterback Reade Box to wide receiver Chase Pratt for a 79-yard touchdown. The second was a slant pass from Box to Pratt who
burned the UCO secondary in rout to an 89-yard score. "We've just got to minimize the big plays and we'll be all right," said Langston. The Bronchos received big performances from two likely players in preseason AllAmerican wide receiver Dee Dee Carter and junior tailback Jarrod Manoy. Manoy, who had 132 yards on 20 carries by half time, finished the day with 178 net yards including a 63-yard stampede late in the first half. Carter finished with 85 yards on 5 receptions and 2 touchdowns. Both of Carter's touchdowns were fade passes from quarterback Erick Johnson to the east corner of the south end zone in which he had to fight two Bulldog defenders for the ball. "If he puts the ball up and on the outside shoulder I'll go get it," said Carter. "We didn't think they had anybody that could cover any of our receivers. It's pretty disrespectful when they play us man up like that." Carter was left out on an island all afternoon against manto-man coverage as the Bulldogs continuously put nine men in the box daring the Bronchos to throw. "They disrespected us and
they disrespected me playing us man up like that in our own back yard," said Carter. Probably Carter's biggest catch of the day came on a jump ball pass from Johnson on fourth down and nineteen from the Southwestern 38 as the Bronchos tried to keep the ball out of SWOSU's hands with less than two minutes to play in the game. "They had confidence in him and me to make the play," said Johnson. "I'm just glad he's (Carter) on my team." The Bronchos outgained the Bulldogs 454 to 278 and held the ball a lopsided 40:20 to 19:40. The Central defense was stellar as usual not giving up a first down until the second quarter and only eleven in the game. Tyler Ellis led the defense in tackles with nine and a sack while Uriah Matthew lead in solo tackles with three. Probably the most impressive solo effort by a Broncho defender was DeWaune James' two sacks in a row during the second quarter. James finished with four tackles and two sacks statistically but consistently disrupted plays throughout the day.

The defending LSC champion Bronchos improved to 7-1-2 on the season and 2-0 in the league while the Indians had their winning streak broken at four games putting them at 6-4 (0-1). Last week's LSC Defensive Player of the Week Stephanie Gulisao led the Bronchos defense yet again putting the clamps on MSU's high scorer Megan Dodson. Dodson came into the game with a league-best 10 goals but was limited to only one shot on goal in the contest. "We did a great job defensively in slowing them down and keeping them from doing what they wanted to do," said UCO head coach Mike Cook. "We had some chances to score, especially in the second half, but couldn't quite put it in the goal." UCO posted it's fourth straight shutout and the sixth of the season. The first half was all defense as neither team threatened to score. Then the Bronchos came on strong in the second gaining a 14-5 shot advantage. MSU's goalkeeper Elli O'Dwyer kept the game scoreless with a diving save of a Melissa Terry shot in the 61st minute, but Habibi would get Central on the board shortly thereafter in the 63rd minute scoring off a corner kick by Terry. Terry's corner kick bounced off a MSU defender and dropped in front of Habibi who drilled the shot for her fourth score of the season.
