Support mixed over addition of fitness center By Jarrod Briley Student(Ina

f all goes according to plan, President W. Roger Webb foresees a fitness and wellness center being added to the university. The location and construction date of the fitness center are still being discussed. It is estimated to cost $7 million and will be funded by an additional $25 per-semester student activity fee.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL HAS TARGETED THE U.S. FOR VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS.

udeness by the general public has become almost the accepted norm in American society. There is a segment of the population, however, who can be one of the rudest ever seen when others violate their code of beliefs. At a recent performance of the Second City Improv troupe, some UCO students were offended by the presented material. As a result, they stood up, en-masse, and stomped out of the theater, disrupting the show for everyone else. Granted, excessive use of the "F" word is not art, and is entertainment only for the most base segment of our society. It is a well-known fact that many live improv shows feature questionable language and material. For these objecting students, who belong to a nationwide group with a history of being obnoxious when someone else's standards don't meet its own, to disrupt this show is inexcusable. Fortunately for them, they believe once they are forgiven for one wrong, they have a free reign to continue.

Conservative assumptions addressed

he letter of September 29 by Mr. Wilson did not surprise me. Not only have I heard what he said repeatedly from those who proclaim themselves to be enlighten, but I used to believe many of the same things. After spending several years thinking through the issues, I chose to follow a different course. Since it seems that not many conservatives write The Vista, and because most people hear only the derivatives of the conservative world view without knowing its basic assumptions, I would like not only to summarize those assumptions, but also to challenge any articulate and thoughtful liberals to do the same for their world view. The basis of the conservative world view has to do with the rights of the individual. They belong to every person regardless of race, sex, creed, etc. The purpose of government as an institution is not to give us rights, but instead to protect those rights already "endowed by their Creator." With rights come responsibilities, however. Rights must be defended, and whenever the rights of one are threatened, so are the rights of all others. Americans believing this have worked to correct the injustices in America's past, such as slavery, and have cringed when the Indians were forced into treaties made to be broken when convenient. Look at the civil rights movement and

the women's suffrage movement, and it is impossible to deny that things are better than they have been. Integration now, and integration forever. Conservatives believe in the inherent worth of the individual—that all have the ability to achieve if given the chance to utilize their talents. Education comes in here. For example, why do I oppose "affirmative action?" The government has the job of "leveling the playing field," but I believe a minority has the same ability to achieve and earn respect as anyone else. A racist employer is a matter for the courts. Being able to get something because you earned it does more for self-respect than to be given something just to fill a quota. The idea is that a person is qualified to run his/her own life, provided the person does not violate the rights of others. I expect criticism for my stand, but I hope other conservatives on campus will make themselves known, and not be silenced by the regurgitated rhetoric of the likes of Mr. Wilson. I leave you with a slogan I have heard: "The price of liberty is eternal vigilance."

UCO student questions Manson CD review

n the date of September 24, The Vista published a review, written by Dustin Pyeatt, that reflected on Marilyn Manson's new CD "Mechanical Animals." I found this article to be very biased and unfounded. To suggest that Mr. Manson

mimicked the styles of David Bowie and Red Hot Chili Peppers is preposterous. I believe myself to be very versed on different music forms, having worked at a music store from

some while, and I have yet to find a musician to come close to Manson's lyrical and musical style. Let me ask you, why would the supreme individual want to replicate the styles of other people? We are talking about a man who created the megaselling CD "AntiChrist Svperstar;" a CD I have found to be far from any other. "Mechanical Animals" is just as original as its predecessor. Another point I find to be humorous and disappointing at the same time is the opinion that the song "Rock is Dead" is similar to "Beautiful People." The beat may be the same, but the guitar, the keyboard, and the lyrics are far from it. Also, Manson's new sound seems fraudulent? I agree that most of the songs do talk about drugs, fame and religion, but the new CD is obviously different than the preceding "AntiChrist Svperstar." The theme and musical sound is entirely different, and this is coming from a person who has listened to both CD's numerous times. I suggest that Dustin should try and critique an artist without the biased opinions he may have on images and reputations. Marilyn Manson might not be as "classy" or "refined" as Hootie and the Blowfish, but he sure is more original.

of the idea, saying they would be happy to have the facility on campus. "I think it's a great idea.. It will be really convenient," said sophomore Jennifer Springer. But Webb does have his share of critics. Some students felt a survey should have been done to assess whether or not the facility was desired. "I think he probably should have done some kind of poll to see if we (the students) wanted it," said Angel Hamm, a biology major. Keith A. Weber, research assistant to the Office of the President, said that a formal survey had been commissioned. It was under the direction of Dr. Ed Cunliff, the director of planning and analysis. The survey asked participants to choose what types of exercise equipment and fitness programs they would like to see in the facility, not if they wanted it built. Cunliff said he believed an opinion poll that asked students if they wanted the facility had been conducted. He admitted he wasn't certain if this was a fact. The Vista is unaware of any opinion polls regarding students desire for the facility. Webb reassures those with concern, saying, "If the students on this campus

He knows the younger students are really going to be the only ones to use it. He's obviously trying to fill UCO with young students at our expense (non-traditional students). —Patrick Pennington computer science junior aren't interested, then we (the administration) won't do it (build the facility)." But lack of a student opinion poll regarding the facility is only one concern of Webb's critics. Some believe the facility is meant to attract only younger students in an attempt to rid UCO of its

non-traditional population. "He knows the younger students are really going to be the only ones to use it. He's obviously trying to fill UCO with young students at our expense (nontraditional students)," said computer science junior Patrick Pennington. Webb said that nothing could be further from the truth. "Even if I did believe that, which I don't, that's the most ridiculous thing in the world a president could do. It's not true." Webb said that despite what his critics would have people believe, he hopes the facility will attract people to UCO regardless of their age. Webb admitted that he is trying to attract more traditional-aged students, but not in an attempt to do away with nontraditional students. "We have been very successful in recruiting part-time, commuting, adult students, but we have not been very successful at recruiting traditional-aged and younger students," Webb said. "Just because we (the administration) are trying to increase that segment (traditional aged students), does not mean that we are against the other segment (nontraditional students)."

National teenage helpline recruiters seek volunteers By Julie Jordan

stammer

eenline, a nationwide telephone helpline for young people, is looking for volunteers to answer phones and provide an anonymous means for callers to discuss issues they feel are important. Teenline began as a local hotline for teens, and then became national. Teenline was started in 1985, after the TV movie "Surviving" was shot in Oklahoma. The movie was about teen suicide and around 100 extras from Oklahoma were hired for the filming, said Debbie Rector, Teenline director. The extras started asking who they should talk to if they had a problem. Parents of the extras got together and threw a fundraiser with "Surviving" star Molly Ringwald attending, and raised enough money to start Teenline, Rector said.

ilYWANYNNW6 119 N. University

Dr. William Caire "The philosophy of Teenline is not to promote ourselves as counselors or give advice. We are a sounding board, using active listening skills to help," Rector said. If the caller wishes to seek further help, they are referred to a professional. "We get calls from Arkansas, Texas, Florida and all over the U.S.," Rector said. Volunteers are given 40 hours of free training on subjects such STUDENT SPECIALS Small Pizza $4.99 Med. Pizza $5.99 Large Pizza $6.99 (up to 3 toppings) Free Delivery To Dorms I

as active listening skills and how to work the phone lines. "Without our volunteers, Teenline doesn't exist," Rector said. Community professionals are brought in to give volunteers information on signs of chemical dependency, sexually transmitted disease and pregnancy prevention and suicide, Rector said. One professional, that occasionally assists in training the volunteers, is Dr. Louis Irving, UCO professor of sociology. Irving attempts to give the volunteers a better understanding of human sexuality, and make them feel comfortable using sexual terms. "I try to give a better appreciation of what sexuality is," Irving said. The only requirement to volunteer for Teenline is applicants must be at least 16 years old. Volunteers range from young adults to senior citizens,

Rector said. The volunteers are required to work two to three shifts per month, for one year. "The only reason for termination is failure to follow policies and procedures," Rector said.

Students or faculty wanting to apply need to get an application from Rector and attend the training session on Oct. 17 and 18 at University Hospital's Nicholson Tower, in Oklahoma City. For more information, call Rector at 522-3835.

Bat habitat presented to UCO By Julie Jordan Staffilititet

The UCO College of Math and Science recently received 320 acres of real estate in Woodward County known as the Selman Cave System. The cave system is home to nearly three miles of caves, housing at least four bat species. The Cave Myotis is the most prevalent with some 40,000 to 50,000 bats. The Oklahoma Department of Tourism and Recreation chose Dr. William Caire, a nationally recognized expert on bats and professor of biology at UCO, to preserve the cave's bat population. The property will have an outdoor laboratory and field classroom that could It could be used for be the first of its kind in the nation. government classes, "It could be used for government history classes or classes, history classes or photography photography classes, classes, all sorts of classes," Caire said. all sorts of classes. The site will also provide educational opportunities for students interested in —Dr. William Caire archeology, geology and astronomy. Bat expert, Students usually learn in laboratories, UCO professor but now they will have the opportunity to see live specimens, Caire said Preservation of the bat population is a main concern, because in the past people have gone into the caves and disturbed the bats. Caire said any noise disturbance wakes the bats from hibernation and forces them to use stores of body fat, and then they may not make it through the winter. "There are cave laws in Oklahoma to stop people from disturbing bats, but it is hard to enforce them," Caire said. Caire plans on posting signs and putting gates around the caves to help protect the bats.

"It will help them to understand different strategies to teach," Craig said. The program will focus on hands-on approaches and manipulatives. Such manipulatives consist of three dimensional triangle, square, and sphere models. The models are filled with sand to teach how to determine volume. "(The program) will get students more excited about mathematics," Craig said. Craig said a survey of UCO students majoring in elementary, early childhood and special education was conducted. The survey indicated that there was a need for tutoring in their classes. "Mathematics Tutoring" is taught by Tom Campbell, professor of mathematics, and Craig.

Slow critters: Latest fast food craze

f you want to head cross-country this fall break or Thanksgiving, but don't have a lot of money for food, you may want to drive through West Virginia. There, you can stock up on all the food you can stomach, for free. Thanks to a new "road kill law," travelers don't need cash in the mountainous state. Rather, they need only a fast moving vehicle and some slow animals. The law allows motorists to take home and make a banquet out of the deer, possums, skunks and other animals which resemble Bambi's friends, if they hit them with their cars. That puts a whole new spin on the term "drive through." There's one catch, though. Motorists must report the animals they smash to the police or conservation officers within 12 hours of making a meal of them. Also, the law prohibits drivers from taking home spotted fawn, bear cubs and other endangered species. The law may sound odd to "refined" eaters who would rather get their meat at Wendy's or Burger King.

Foot fungus betters wine flavor

Yet, State Sen. Leonard Anderson said its passage was important—especially since West Virginia has an estimated 40,000 animal-car collisions annually. In his address to the legislature, he noted that having motorists take the crushed critters off the roadside will save thousands of dollars in game warden collection fees. As a side benefit, it may also cut down on jaywalking offenses.

tudents and professors who regularly buy wine may want to check the label, if their vino tastes especially robust. If the wine is made in Portugal, it may contain a hidden ingredient—foot fungus. Researchers at a Portuguese chemical engineering company recently announced that wine produced by workers who have athletes foot tastes better than that produced by clean-soled stompers. Food chemist, Dr. Alberto Picarra, told Wireless Flash news company that there is something in the fungus which benefits the wine-making process. He said the fungus helps grapes ferment faster while keeping their flavor.

ast year when the Bronchos faced East Central, UCO dominated, routing the Tigers 42-7 in Ada. This year the Tigers come to Wantland Stadium to face a Broncho team that is ranked third in NCAA Div. II, with a record of 5-0. "They are an option team. We have to keep our blocking assignments. They will do a lot of stunting to try to mess up our running game," said Coach Gary Howard. East Central had 37 lettermen returning from last year. 16 of them are starters. The Tigers have struggled in the last few years, managing a record of 0-11 last season. East Central ended a 13 game losing streak at the beginning of this season with a 20-6 win over Northwestern Oklahoma in their second game. East Central lost its last three. The Tigers are primarily a running team, averaging 153 yards on the ground and 186.8 total yards a game. Tail Back Curtis McAfee is the primary Tiger running back. He has 347 yard on 74 carries this season. East Central's defense has given up an average of 371.8 yards a game, 241.4 on the ground and 130.4 passing. Strong Safety Andra Stanley leads the Tiger defense with 38 tackles.

UCO falls to undefeated Cameron By Darrell J. Weidner SffiltiSMISf

he UCO Bronchos volleyball squad fell to Cameron University in a hard fought four game showdown in Hamilton Fieldhouse, Tuesday. The Bronchos took the first game of the match with a score of 15-6. The game set the pace for the rest of the match with both sides forcing side outs, and making it hard for either team to score. The Bronchos ended the first game by forcing a short kill to bring the 15-6 win. With UCO taking the first

game, the Lady Aggies had the serve in the second game, and were able to run up a 5-1 lead. Adriana Crovador answered the Cameron four point run when she made a kill to put the Bronchos back on the board. The Bronchos came to within one point (10-9) of the Lady Aggies late in the game. Cameron contained the Broncho charge and defeated them 15-9. In the third game of the match, the Lady Aggies made a six point run to open the game, but the Bronchos took advantage of several side outs. The Bronchos were within three points of Cameron (7-4). The Bronchos kept chipping

away at the Lady Aggies lead, until the score was tied at 10-10. Cameron and UCO kept switching side outs and points until Cameron forced two short drops over the net to win the game 16-14. The final game followed the pattern set in the third game with Cameron earning a 15-10 victory. The Bronchos' offense was led by Adriana Crovador, who earned 30 kills in the match. Crovador also led the Bronchos' defense with a total of 19 digs. The Bronchos' next home game is against Texas Women's University at 7 p.m., Oct. 16, in Hamilton Fieldhouse.

Free depression screening available today By James Gutzmer staffwriter

Dr. Lorraine YouII

he UCO Counseling Center and Edmond Regional Medical Center will be offering free depression screenings today as part of National Mental Illness Awareness Week. There will also be a free lecture on depression given by UCO professor of psychology, Dr. Lorraine Youll. National Depression Screening Day is dedicated to helping those who feel they may be suffering from depression. The screening is free,

CANYON CREEK TRAVEL, INC. ±

and students will be taken on a walkins basis. Non-students must register. The screenings will be given all day. The lecture starts at 7 p.m. in Room 320-C of the University Center. Clinical depression is a serious and common mood disorder that is pervasive, intense and attacks the mind and body at the same time, said Jan Chapel, UCO coordinator of counseling services. "In most people, depression can be treated successfully with medication or psychotherapy, or a combination of the two...It affects the

way you think about things," Chapel said. Unlike grief or passing sadness, depression does not respond to changes of circumstances. Good news for example does not effect a person afflicted with depression. Symptoms of depression include a depressed mood, a diminished interest or pleasure in activities, significant change in appetite, sleep disturbances, restlessness of sluggishness, loss of energy, lack of concentration, feeling of worthlessness and guilt, and thoughts of death and suicide.

According to recent research depression affects twice as many women as men, although men are more likely to commit suicide because of the illness. "It affects the way you eat and sleep, the way you feel about yourself, and the way you think about things. A depressive disorder is not a passing blue mood. People with a depressive illness cannot merely 'pull themselves together' and get better," Chapel said. For more information call the UCO Counseling Service at 9742215.

SIFE inspires hard work, team work By Katie Hawk nallWritet

ften, UCO students take weekend vacations to Dallas to party. But, 11 students went to Dallas last weekend to learn leadership skills and gain inspiration. "Students In Free Enterprise (SthE) 1998, Trip To Leadership" was a national seminar the students attended Oct. 3 at the Hyatt Regency. "It was a really neat opportunity, and great for the Hopefully, with the resume," said Scott leadership skills Markowitz, they've gained, we president of SIFE and political science can do more education junior. effective projects on Dr. Billye our campus. Hansen, sponsor of the UCO SIPE club, —Dr. Billye Hansen said about 500 UCO SIFE sponsor students from across the nation attended the seminar consisting of workshops and a career fair. Two of the workshops included "Free Enterprise" and "Traits of a Leader." Markowitz said during the workshops, the students were not allowed to work with students from their school. Rather, they were required to work in teams with other students from across the country. "I learned quite a bit. People work to create

something and they are more apt to work harder if they have a share in it," Markowitz said. Other workshops included guest speakers, such as Bob Wieland, Len Roberts, and Becky Anderson. Bob Wieland, "Mr. Inspiration"and author of "One Step At a Time," spoke about overcoming obstacles in life. Wieland is a Vietnam veteran who lost his legs during the war, and later walked across the nation using his hands, Hansen said. "He spoke about sticking to whatever you have in life and never giving up. He was very impressive and inspirational," Giblet said. Len Roberts, president of Radio Shack, spoke about basic leadership skills. From Roberts, Markowitz said he learned, "If you work hard, you'll get there." Anderson, SIPE alumni, spoke how being a SIPE member helped her to get a job as a SItE recruiter, Markowitz said. Along with the workshops, about 12 companies were represented at a career fair. The fair provided students and alumni career opportunities. "The companies recruit highly involved SIFE members," said SIFE member and finance senior Jason Giblet. While the students were at the career fair and workshops, Hansen was in workshops with other SIPE advisors to discuss future projects. "Hopefully, with the leadership skills they've gained, we can do more effective projects on our campus," Hansen said.

Student authors consider legal action against lona College By Christine Tatum

CollegePtussWriter NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (CPX) - Students at Iona College are debating First Amendment rights with school officials who insist the law supported their decision to confiscate the school's literary magazine and delete all or part of three poems. In a statement released Sept. 30, the college said its opinion is "consistent with the tradition of the Christian brothers, Catholic higher education and relevant law." The school also said its policy is to ban indecency from student publications. Only days before the end of the last school year, Iona confiscated 380 copies of the magazine because it contained "offensive" and "totally inappropriate" writing, Iona President Brother James Liguori said. Two poems containing profanity were removed from the magazine. A third containing a sexually explicit word was edited but allowed to remain. Iona students have complained that the magazine was altered without a recommendation from the college's media board, which is composed of students, faculty and administrators. One student author said her work was altered without her permission—and after she had been assured the piece would run "as is." School officials have said they could not muster a quorum of the media board because the conflict occurred during final exams. They also said the private school, acting as publisher of the magazine, had the right to change the magazine in any way it saw fit. "Even if the school had the authority to do something like this, it's hard not to say this was educationally backwards," said Mark Goodman, director of the Student Press Law Center in Washington, D.C.

Children take back seat to fitness center

he next time you go to fill out your income tax forms, look for the box where you itemize your expense for a fitness center membership. Oh, that's right, there's not one. The government does, however, provide reimbursement for child care. Based on the priorities set by the federal government, which is more important? One is a luxury, the other a necessity. Which of the two needs is greater on this campus? Based on two surveys done in the 1980s, there was an overwhelming need and desire for a child care facility. So far, The Vista has been unable to find a survey asking students if they want a fitness center. Last week, however, a random survey was done of several classes on campus. The survey did not ask if a fitness center was wanted—rather, it asked what activities, sessions and services would likely be used in a campus-based fitness center. That survey is not an accurate gauge of what students want or need. _ - Say, for instance, 90 percent of those surveyed said they would be "very likely" to use a pickleball court. Does that mean they want a pickleball court on this campus? No, it means they would use it if it was available. I'm not knocking pickleball—whatever it is. Despite what some of my critics say, I'm not against change and I'm not wearing blinders. I'll even go so far as to say a campus-based fitness center could be a big hit, and may even help to draw more students to this campus. What I'm saying is that there is a greater need on this campus—the need for a child care center. The average UCO student comes to campus for class and then leaves. For these people, and for those who want to attend college but can't because suitable child care cannot be found, an on-campus child care facility could be a vital and positive change. Granted, there are many child

care facilities in Edmond and surrounding communities. The surrounding communities' facilities puts a good deal of distance between the parents and their children while the parents are in class. Child care in Edmond is very expensive, and the better facilities have almost unbelievable waiting lists. For many, child care in Edmond is not a possibility. It has been said the fitness center would draw students, expecially younger, "traditional" students, to UCO because many are going to schools that already have fitness centers. I have not been able to confirm anything with the University of Oklahoma, but Oklahoma State University in Stillwater has had child care on their campus since 1924. Why is it not a priority to compete with that fact? As for the younger students, I

don't know where they'll come from. UCO, with - it's average student age of 27 or 28, isn't as unique as some believe. A recent article in The Daily Oklahoman said the average age of college students in Oklahoma—not just UCO, but the whole state—is 26 years old. Will a UCO fitness center encourage more high school students to attend college in Oklahoma? Not likely. Another consideration in this debate is the educational value of each facility. Currently, the physical education classes, which are required of UCO undergraduates, are scattered all over campus. It has been said that they would become centralized in a fitness and wellness center. That would be good. Of course, students would see they were paying a facility fee for their P.E. classes and a fee

THE ART AND SCIENCE OF PURE FLOWER AND PLANT ESSENCESTm

for private use of the fitness center. A child care center would not only provide a necessity for students seeking degrees in every field, the center would also be used as a lab for students studying human environmental services. It ain't pickleball, but it's something to consider. I was told former UCO President George Nigh went so far as to designate space for a child care center on university property after the most recent survey concerning child care. The Faculty Senate and the student government passed resolutions supporting the child care center. Building codes were gathered and ready, but Nigh lost interest before the center became a reality. The new co-ed dormitory President Webb asked for will be built on that property very

soon. I guess our children can always hang from our legs as We do chin-ups. Or, we can go to one of the many other area gyms, where child care is provided for parents who want to pump iron.

Students get full sensory assault in future classrooms By Joni James tkillegellessWriter ORLANDO, Fla.—In Kathleen Richardson's class, the blackboard is passe; the overhead projector, a bowling alley relic. The University of Central Florida associate professor knows most of the 278 students in her concepts of chemistry class are there only because they must take a science class to graduate. They're about as intrigued as children in a church service. So before class recently, Richardson clipped a wireless microphone to her jacket. She set up a computer to project a lecture outline onto four, strategically placed 6- or 10-foot-wide screens. When she talked about hydrogen, a picture of the ill-fated airship Hindenburg popped up. When she talked about a famous chemistry experiment - a particle beam piercing a piece of gold foil—she rolled a video animation of what happens at the atomic level. Teaching for the MTV generation? Yes. But it's also the wave of the future in classrooms. The push for "multimedia teaching" is on nationwide, in part because of advocates' belief that, aside from helping keep students' attention, it also may improve learning by offering information in a variety of ways. Twelve percent of the classrooms at public universities now have such technology, said Kenneth C. Green, a visiting scholar at Claremont Graduate School who conducts an annual survey of college technology. UCF is slightly ahead of the curve, having spent close to $2 million since 1993 to renovate and equip each of its 30 largest classrooms. Using single key pad, instructors can control $40,000 worth of equipment, including computers, videocassette recorders and overhead cameras. The same panel allows them to dim the lights or turn up the volume on a crystal-clear audio system. More than a third of UCF's faculty has requested technology training. And the university may retrofit as many as 10 more classrooms this year with $400,000 in improvements.

In about two years, UCF will complete a building in which all 28 classrooms are equipped for high-tech multimedia instruction. Every classroom construction It's better than just project under way at the state having a professor up university system's nine other there talking. You don't schools calls for some level of have to take as many multimedia equipment, said Keith notes and, if you miss Goldschmidt, agency spokesman. something, it's right in Students give the gadgets high front of you. marks. "It's better than just having a —Lindsey Miller professor up there talking," said University of Central Lindsay Miller, 19, a UCF Florida sophomore sophomore from New Jersey. "You don't have to take as many it's right in front of you." "I wish more professors would notes and, if you miss something,

do it," said Jennifer Hankey, 20, a UCF junior from Palm Beach. Faculty say multimedia techniques are nearly a necessity if large classes are to work. The first time Richardson taught her chemistry class, she struggled with an overhead projector whose image could be seen only from the first 10 rows. "I vowed, 'Never again,"' she said. "How can you teach when students can't even see anything you're writing?" In the souped-up classrooms, multiple projection screens can solve that problem. Some educators say the

technology has the potential to do more. They think it can improve the quality of material professors provide for classes. Instead of straight lectures with only a blackboard as a prop, professors can use video, audio, Internet resources and computer applications in classes. "If you're a professor, you'd rather go to the NASA Web site and pick up a live satellite feed of Mars than have students look at a 5-year-old picture in the textbook," Green said. "That's far more engaging for students."

HAT DREAMS Y C OME

"In Your Dreams" better suited title for latest Robin Williams' movie

Revieu. By Dustin Pyeatt

StaffWriler

his weeks review literally goes to hell and back. The motion picture "What Dreams May Come" (Polygram) is a love story that transcends death itself. Robin Williams stars as a doctor who first suffers the tragedy of losing his children in a car wreck, and then dies himself years later. This leaves Annabella Sciorra, who plays Williams' wife, to eventually commit suicide. Williams goes to heaven where he is met by his guide in the afterlife, played by Cuba Gooding Jr., who informs him that his wife is in hell and that the two

can never be together. Unwilling to accept this, Williams goes to hell to find her. The story, which sounds like the perfect emotional roller coaster, starts the big climb but never delivers the exhilaration of going down the other side. The visually stunning scenes in the hereafter are riddled with flashbacks to the point that "Dreams" is like watching two different movies. Williams and Gooding, arguably two of the best actors around, are left with little dialogue, making them mere figures in the foreground in this cinematic painting. "Dreams" isn't as merciful to Sciorra, whose character is weak, flawed and generally not very likable, leaving this reviewer asking "why bother?" To its credit, however, "Dreams" gives a new age, but refreshing portrait

_.<

of the afterlife. Absent is God and aging leading men playing Satan. In this heaven the characters are pretty much left on their own. Overall, "Dreams" has a sad and foreboding feel to it and very little payoff in the end. However, it could be worse, just rent "City of Angels" and find out!
