BSA stomps lively
dance competition by Rachael Tully Staff Writer To celebrate the last night of Homecoming Week, student organizations competed in a cheer and dance competition in Hamilton Field House Oct. 3. Eleven student organizations performed live in front of nearly 800 Central students. "Tonight was a fantastic way to see everyone's school spirit," said Brad Frizell, junior political science major and emcee of the event. The cheerleaders and pom squad held a pep rally to pump excitement into the crowd before the competition, said Brandy Copeland, cheer and porn coach. "The Greek houses showed awesome support tonight," Copeland said. "We hope
tonight inspires more students to attend games." Before the competition, football players awarded the Greeks Bearing Gifts spirit award to Acacia fraternity for outstanding school support. Daina Dill, sophomore elementary education major, performed as a cheerleader and dancer for Sigma Kappa sorority. "It was fun performing as a cheerleader and dancing for Sig Kap. The crowd was so responsive tonight," she said. Chase Craig, freshmen forensic science major, said his favorite part of the evening was the performance of the Black Student Association. "The energy they had brought everyone to their feet," he said. "They definitely stole the show."
•
And that they did. First place was the BSA, second was Sigma Kappa and third was a tie between Acacia and Alpha Gamma Delta. Students said that the night helped inspire football players to win Saturday's game. "The events tonight produced a great atmosphere," said Megan Benda, senior corporate communications major. "The student energy made us bleed bronze and blue on the field." Kappa Sigma, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Nu, the Baptist Collegiate Ministry, Alpha Zi Delta, Acacia, the Black Student Association, Alpha Tau Omega, Alpha Gamma Delta, Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Kappa were the student organizations that participated Friday night.

Megan Chambers speaks at her impeachment hearing Oct 7.
Suites Hall Council holds impeachment hearing by Sherrod Wall Staff Writer Megan Chambers, president of Suites Hall Council and Stephen Horn the 4th floor RA in the Suites debated over the issue of Chambers impeachment on Oct. 8. "I'm the 4th floor RA but I am not here this evening in that role, I am here like you a concerned suites resident," said Horn. Horn started his argument by defining what an impeachable offense is by quoting a law professor from Northwestern University "Impeachable offenses are which demonstrate a fundamental betrayal of public trust. They suggest the official has failed in his duty" "We must now ask ourselves a question, Has Megan Chambers failed in her duites as President of Suites hall Council?" "Suites Hall Council is supposed to be an environment where you the student can come seeking change." Horn said that Chambers' meetings have no real agenda. Horn quoted from the Suites Hall Council Constitution: As president of the Suites Hall Council it is the president's duty to organize all meetings, Suites Hall functions, and establish and maintain untiy and order in the dub.
" She has repeatedly failed in this, and the only until she has created is unified discontent." "You [Chambers] said you went door to door to say when all the suites hall council meetings were, this is my first one because I've only known about one of them I don't know if that's my fault, but if youre not impeached what will you do to see if everyone knows about them?" said Tyler Head, a resident of the suites. Another • sutics resident commented by saying that Suites Hall Council is doing a good job but that you can't expect a good turn out if residents have no idea what the agenda is going to be. Chambers began her counter argument by stating her personal opinion on the petition created a few weeks earlier. "I was for the petition ive always said that. I think it gets people who would not ordinarily be involved in the petition involved," she said. "I admit for a week I was kind of bitter, but I wont hold hard feelings because I'm just not that kind of person." Chambers replied to Horn's quoting the Suites Hall Council Consitution by telling the audience about how much work she has put into advertising for previous meetings, . The first meeting we ever had on the flier it said we will be signing up to run for office, the third meeting I personally went over to copycat and
made 150 copies with my money and posted them on every door," she said. "I know she's trying her hardest and it's very hard to do what she's doing, the same way I'm having a hard time working and going to school, so I can just imagine doing this," said Blake Lippert, another resident. "I just think that it's ridiculous that its come up to this," he said. Chambers said that she is willing to work with the commitee to improve the way meetings are run. "I would like to make a committee, like I said last year and this year, to let people know by word of mouth," she said. Chambers said that she will consider the petition and the impeachment attempt as positive criticism. "I will consider this as positive critcism. I just wish somebody would have said something was wrong because honestly I did not know anything was wrong, and I want better suites Hall council," she said. "I understand now what I am doing wrong , and how we need to change and before this happened we were talking about amending the consititution." If Chambers is impeached, the council's vice president will become president. However should the vice president choose not to assume the office, then the office will be open to whoever wants to run.
The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity will raise money for the American Red Cross 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 8 through 11 in front of the Liberal Arts Building and Business Building. As part of a pledge requirement, students will stretch rolls of duct tape from one building to the other and will stick pennies and other change to it. Greg Medford, public relations chair for PKA, said the idea stemmed from the events of Sept. 11, 2001. "I wanted to figure out a
way to contribute to the Red Cross, and this just seemed like a great way to do it," he said. Medford said the fundraising event usually requires about three members but about 8 to 10 members volunteer in the effort. He said that the average amount raised annually is $600. "We did extremely well the first year when we managed to raise about $650, but unfortunately, last year wasn't quite as successful for us," he said. Medford said the donations totaled $300 last year, but said he hopes for $1000 or more this year.
"The challenge we face is that students just walk by and either don't take notice or they don't give anything," he said. "Everyone keeps spare change at home, so there shouldn't be a problem with giving," Clay Gray, fund-raising chair for the fraternity, said he likes the unity that exists between members of PKA. He said that becoming involved in community efforts such as "Miles of Pennies" creates a brotherhood and a cornmon link among the students. "It's great to have friends in PKA who are like brothers. You can always count on them and they will always watch your back," he said.
GATE to hold lake-side vigil by Rick Russick Staff Writer Central's Gay Alliance for Tolerance and Equality student organization will hold a Candlelight Vigil to celebrate National Coming Out Day at 8 p. in. Oct. 9 at Broncho Lake. More than 30 students are expected to attend. The purpose of GATE is to provide a support group for students who are concerned with gender identity issues, the social aspects of alternate lifestyles, and promoting selfesteem within its network. Dr. Kole Kleeman, associate journalism professor and gay rights advocate said that he commends all that participate in the event. "Coming out says to the world 'I am not ashamed of
who I am and I am part of the mix in American society,'" he said. Kleeman said he believes everyone in the gay community should have the right to share their freedoms just like anyone else. He said the need to "come out" stems from the social inequality and cultural prohibitions once imposed against the gay community. "The Gay Pride movement began in the 1960s because gays were once placed in mental hospitals and men were even castrated," Kleeman said.
When asked why gay people have the need to "come our of the closet," he said that inequality and tension creates that need. Kleeman said that society has pointed the finger of judgment at the gay and lesbian
community for so long that gay people feel ashamed. He said that when someone feels so ashamed and his or her self-esteem grows poor, suicide could result. "All people are special," said Kleeman. "You should have the right to be who you are." He said that lack of knowledge within the heterosexual community have created misunderstandings about gays. "Gay people are not sick. Being gay is not an illness. We are humans just like' anyone else. This is who we are. The only difference between us [and any other member of society] is our sexual orientation," he said.

Nickles announces retirement
Health Center offering mental health screening
Sen. Peter Fitzgerald of Illinois. "I have absolutely loved every minute of serving in the Senate," Nickles said. He said he would return to the private sector but did not "have a clue" about what he would do. He said he would remain active in state and national politics, but doubted he would seek public office again. When he was first elected, Nickles was general manager of a family business in Ponca City. His departure will complicate Republican efforts to hold the seat and also to retain their current majority, although Oklahoma has swung solidly behind GOP candidates in recent senatorial and presidential elections. The White House as well as Republican senators have tried to persuade Nickles to seek another term. Nickles would have been a safe bet for re-election. So much so, that Reps. Brad Carson, DOkla., and Ernest Istook, ROkla., had indicated they would be interested in running if Nickles did not seek re-election. Others who have expressed interest include Lt. Gov. Mary
By RON JENKINS Associated Press Writer OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Sen. Don Nickles, R-Okla., chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, announced Tuesday he is leaving public office after four terms. The 54-year-old conservative senator made the announcement at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, standing near a statute of his political hero, Ronald Reagan. Recalling that he came into office when Reagan was elected president in 1980, Nickles said: "We did great things. We accomplished a lot of things, not only for our country but for the world." Nickles said he "pretty much made up my mind a long a time ago" to retire, but did not make a final decision with his wife, Linda, until Saturday. "I told Linda I didn't want to be a lifer," Nickles said. He said he informed President Bush of what he planned to do during a golf match last week. Nickles became the second Republican lawmaker to announce retirement plans, after
by Caroline Duke Managing Editor A depression screening will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 9 in Rm. 402 of the Nigh University Center. The screening is free to all university faculty, staff and students. The screening involves a short questionnaire, followed by a consultation with a counselor. Jan Chapel, coordinator of UCO Counseling Services, said the screening takes about 10 minutes. "Depression can be caused by situations or it might be a biochemical imbalance," Chapel said. She said signs of depression may be a disruption or change in sleep, decrease or increase in appetite, feelings of sadness, loss of interest in things that were once enjoyed, loss of energy, or feeling tired or irritable. "People can feel blue for a few days, but if it continues over a period of time, then it can become depression," she said. For more information, contact the Student Health Center at 974-2215.
Fashion Finds with jiff gliren Well, if this oh-so-wonderful Oklahoma weather would make up its mind maybe we could decide if we should pull out our winter coats or not. A week or two ago, it felt almost like December, now we're back to wearing flip-flops and t-shirts. In case it does get cold during the next few months, I thought it might be a good idea to know what to wear to keep us warm, yet help us look out finest. If you read my column last week, as I'm sure you did, being that you're a faithful reader and all, you'll remember my mention of how hideous the 80's styles were. Unfortunately, I wrote too soon.

Oxygen bar proves relaxing LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) _ There was no chance of students getting drunk by bellying up to a bar on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus. The bar was serving bottled oxygen, not booze. "I'm not wasted," UNL student Tun Randall, 23, said after inhaling 97-percent pure oxygen for about five minutes. "I'm more relaxed." Students lined up for the chance to sit at one of three stools at student union Wednesday and inhale the oxygen scented with one of 12 aromas, including lavender, vanilla and strawberry "It smelled like incense," Randall said. As an added option, students could also use earphones that played a monotone sound meant to block outside distractions, or wear sunglasses fitted with tiny lights that blink. The sounds and lights are designed to help with relaxation, said Broderick Thompson, an employee ofTjohnE, the Grand Rapids, Mich., company that was running the bar. "What you want to do is close your eyes and relax your head," Thompson told the throng of students waiting for their turn.
Fallin, Oklahoma City Mayor Kirk Humphreys, both Republicans, and Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson, a Democrat. Carson had no comment about his plans Tuesday. The congressman said the day should focus on Nickles, his spokesman Brad Luna said. "He (Nickles) rose to the top of his profession and will no doubt go down in Oklahoma history books as one of the best politicians Oklahoma has produced," Carson said in a statement through Luna. Istook said he was getting "tons of encouragement" to run but did not want to discuss his possible candidacy. "I don't think there is any reason to be impatient or to rush any announcement," Istook said. Nickles' 24 years in the Senate will tie Democrat Elmer Thomas for the longest tenure of an Oklahoma senator. Republicans hold a 51-48 majority in the current Senate, with one Democratic-leaning independent. Three Democrats have announced plans to retire rather than seek re-election,
including Sens. Zell Miller of Georgia, John Edwards of North Carolina and Ernest Hollings of South Carolina. In addition, Sen. Bob Graham, who quit the Democratic presidential race on Sunday, has yet to say whether he will seek another six years in the Senate. At the same time, Republicans have had a series of recruiting setbacks of their own, and the White House as well as Republican senators tried to persuade Nickles to seek another term. Touted GOP recruits in North Dakota, Nevada, Washington, Illinois and Florida have all declined to run. Nickles was the second ranking Republican until earlier this year, and became chairman of the Budget Committee at the beginning of the most recent Congress. As whip during the previous several years, Nickles often clashed behind the scenes Trent Lott, R-Miss. And when Lott became embroiled in a racially charged controversy over the winter, Nickles first said publicly that rank-and-file Republicans should look for a leader.
the fur. "The cool thing now is the fur on collars and cuffs," added Flowers. Everything from fur to threaded fringe decorated the appendages of the jackets. They were really cute "For guys the basic, black, leather jacket is most popular," Flowers said. Brandy Singletary, a sales associate at McCall's said there's a little more guys have to choose from. For example, Singletary said guys will be wearing "thick, wool, long length [jackets]." Singletary added the basic colors like navy, black and camel, or a dark khaki color for you guys who don't regularly study the shopping woman's color wheel, are big for winter. Not that they really ever go out of season. The length of jackets you will see for the winter season will vary greatly. You'illtind jackets from "bomber length [to] parka length," stated Flowers.

That began la series of events that led to Lott's decision to step aside and the selection of Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tenn., as the new Republican leader. Nickles said the Senate battles had nothing to do with his decision to retire. Nickles was elected to the Senate in 1980, at the age of 31. He has maintained a conservative voting record, and in his brief tenure as chairman of the Budget Committee, frequently spoke on the Senate floor against legislation he said would exceed spending limits that Republicans had agreed upon. At the same time, he has shown an ability to work across party lines, finding common ground with Democrats on legislation to extend unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless. Oklahoma hasn't had an open Senate seat since 1994, when David Boren resigned to become president of the University of Oklahoma. Two sitting congressmen squared off, with Republican Jim Inhofe beating Democrat Dave McCurdy.
"Suede is very hot this fall," said McCall's sales associate, Janet Poland, as is "leather." The 80's fabric tweed is making a comeback too. And the popular three years running, sweater jackets will last through another winter. Girls, you'll see a lot of the sweater jackets with the fringe on the collars that continue down the front of the jacket. As I mentioned above neutrals will be a safe bet for your winter jacket, but if you want to be bold, red is making a comeback and it's doing it very fashionably if I may add. There are so many great jackets out there right now ready to be snatched up, but I noticed the cute ones are going fast so you better hurry. Get that loan money and head towards the stores. (I don't really advise the use of-loan money, but cha gotta do what cha gotta do.) Happy shopping! Stay warm...that is if it ever gets cold.

UCO improves to 11-5 by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor The UCO volleyball team rebounded from their loss to Cameron with a three game sweep of Bacone University in Muskogee, Okla. on Oct. 7. The Bronchos were lead by the superb play of Tori Walker and Kim Morgal, as both players hit over .500 in the match. The Bronchos got off to a quick
start against their NAIA foe, doubling-up the Warriors 30-15 in game one. In the second contest, Central continued their dominance with a 30-17 win. The Bronchos wrapped it up in the final game with a 3020 victory. The match gave the Bronchos the opportunity to give everyone some court time as well as prepare for their conference games this weekend.
Walker hit .667 with 13 kills and 10 digs, while Morgal hit .556 with 11 kills. LSC North Setter of the Week Stacey Meek added 33 assists and a team high 11 digs for the Bronchos.

Bronchos jump to 13 in poll Southwestern Oklahoma on homecoming Saturday at Wantland Stadium. Central, 3-0 in the conference and 1-0 in the LSC North, remains home this weekend as they take on Abilene Christian for their final LSC crossover game of the season. The game starts at 6 p.m. so it does not interfere with the OU-Texas game and is free to students as usual at Wantland
by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer Undefeated UCO moved up five spots to No.13 in this week's American Football Coaches Association NCAA Division II top 25 poll. The 5-0 Bronchos received 314 points in the balloting to move up from No.18 after their 20-17 defeat of long time Lone Star Conference rival
Stadium. Abilene Christian enters the game 2-2 and ranked second in the LSC South with a 1-1 league record. ACU defeated No.23 nationally ranked Eastern New Mexico 24-14 last week. ACU's only conference loss was a 41-7 thrashing by Tarleton State. TSU (3-2 overall) defeated Central last season and currently sits in second in the LSC North behind the Bronchos.

OU/ Texas, OSU/ K-State highlights "THE WEEKEND" in College football This is THE weekend in college football. OU/Texas, OSU/K-State, FSU/Miami, Georgia/Tennessee, Florida/LSU... I could go on. This is the weekend where the real contenders for the national title will show they're for real. And after Baylor's domination of Colorado last weekend, we know ANYTHING can happen in college football.
OU vs. Texas (at the Cotton Bowl): Texas can't run the ball, especially against OU. Their only chance to score is if Roy Williams plays like Randy Moss and Vincent Young plays like Mike Vick. Even then I'm not sure the OU defense can't stop them. OU has trouble running the ball also. Then again, that's what people were saying last year before Q hit the Horns for two bills. The bottom line is OU has a better defense than Texas and that will be the difference. Look for Tommie Harris, Teddy Lehman and Derrick Strait to have big games.
will be too desperate.
Prediction: K-State 35, OSU 31. BIG XII game of the week: Nebraska at Missouri: The Huskers have jumped into the top 10 thanks to wins over Penn State and OSU, but they still haven't proven themselves worthy of that type of ranking. Missouri was supposed to be competing for the North title, then they lose to Kansas. Brad Smith may have something up his sleeve that can lead the Tigers to the upset, but don't count on it. Nebraska may not be a top 10 team but they're better than Missouri. The only way the Tigers win is if Smith comes up with a game similar to the game he played against OU last season. Prediction: Nebraska 38, Missouri 21. National Games of the Week:

Kansas State at Oklahoma State: This is the They win this one they get game for the the respect they lost in Lincoln in their opener. But this game is even bigger to K-State coming off losses to Marshall and Texas, the Wildcats season could be on the line. We know Rashaun is gonna get his, we know D. Sproles is gonna get his. So what's gonna be the difference? K-State's offense is too balanced and explosive for OSU. They have a better balance of offense and defense as a team. OSU has the ability to win this game especially in Stillwater, but K-State

Miami at Florida State: The Seminoles know this game- will tell America if they are back. Their thrashing of Colorado is not nearly as impressive now. Miami should have lost to West Virginia, only Kellen Winslow running over linebackers and making circus catches kept them off the upset list. Brock Berlin has struggled for the 'Canes and Chris Rix has looked like a new man for the Noles. Give the edge to FSU especially at home. The loss of Frank Gore for the season (again) will show up in this game as the Noles will force Berlin into silly mistakes.

Georgia at Tennessee: The Bulldogs slipped up at LSU, but they are still one of the nation's best. UT lost at Auburn but the Tigers are better than they showed to begin the year. David Greene and the UGA offense should be able to make plays against a average Tennessee D. While David Pollack and UGA's defense should be able to force Casey Clausen to beat them. Guess what... he can't. Prediction: UGA 27, Tennesee 14.
