Students rebut misrepresentations of Islam

by Mark Schlachtenhaufen All you hear is 'Islamic militant.'

No religion or ethnic group ms@thevistaonline.com Because many television reports about events transpiring in the Middle East are not indepth, most Americans' perceptions of the religion of Islam and Muslims are distorted, UCO Muslim students say.

Muhammad Ali Shahzad, Adam Soltani and Farhan Baig discussed media coverage of the post-Sept. 11 Middle East, Rev. Jerry Falwell's recent remark about the prophet Muhammad and popular misconceptions about Islam.

The media has turned "Islamic militants" into a cliché, producing a false impression of Islam, a religion of peace, not of terrorism, the students said.

Osama bin Laden and those who interpret Islam likewise are the exception.

"I feel like they are judging the group [Islam] by the actions of a few people," Soltani said.

"Very rarely do you hear people use another religious name along with terrorism or militant.

should have the term terrorism or militant based on their group just because of the actions of a few people following it."

Baig, president of the Muslim Student Association, said what is more important than the media use of the phrase "Islamic militants" is the ideologies of those that hear it during a television report or read it in a newspaper.

It is the responsibility of those individuals to react wisely.

Shahzad said "Islamic militants" is a misused phrase. He said the media is manipulating those two words and when someone hears one, they immediately attach the other to it.

"Extremists" exist in other religions, not just Islam, he said.

It is just as wrong for Americans to stereotype Muslims, as it is for Arabs to stereotype Americans, he said.

Shahzad said he hopes that as a result of all the Middle East media coverage the people, especially Afghanis, get the help they need from the rest of the world.

Afghanis have seen many wars.

Students look at exhibits at the Research Day 2002 held at the University Center on Oct. 11. Students and professors from around the state displayed math and science research projects.

Nobel Laurete speaks at Research Day

by Michael Larson ml@thevistaonline.com Students and professors from across the state pinned poster board summaries of their research up throughout Nigh University Center's halls and gathered in the UCO's Grand Ballroom for a speech by 1985 Nobel Prize winner Herbert Hauptman.

Research Day 2002 was well underway when Nobel Laureate Hauptman, who invented a way of examining the composition of crystals using x-rays, began his speech on the importance of research. In it he detailed a Herbert Hauptman single mathematical made possible advances in medicine over 100 years later.

"Learn as much as you can," Hauptman said on behalf of young researchers, "and be prepared for major disappointments. Even if one out of a hundred experiments work, it's worth it."

This year's Research Day saw 351 submitted abstracts, overwhelmingly pertaining to math and science.

Linda Luna, a biology professor and lab coordinator at UCO, said, "The public wants to know why they are paying all this for money for grants and how we are advancing technology. This gives us a chance to show them."

Fields represented in research day included psychology, humanities, math, education, chemistry, biology, history and forensic science.

Luna looked at the DNA of different populations of marmots, small squirrellike "It's a good opportunity to see what other departments are doing," said Rebekah Stroope, a biology junior who worked on Luna's marmot project.

Arnie Spears, Oklahoma Christian biology senior said, "It's a great opportunity to crawl out of the lab and see the diversity of intellect among Oklahoma students."

Hauptman said he had been interested in math and science since he was a young boy, when he first fell in love with platonic solids. When he was young, he made models of the five geometric shapes out of cardboard. Now he has models of them made out of glass.

Andrea Rubio, engineering physics junior, shook hands with Hauptman and thanked him for his contributions to science.

Rubio is working on a method of cooling things down using a horizontal tumbling motion, and hopes to build a machine with which she can test upright tumbling.

"You can take a warm drink can and roll it back for two or three minutes, and

Do you want to know how safe the UCO campus is? The Department of Public Safety (DPS) recently released its Annual Security Report in paper form and online.

The report gives the campus crime statistics for 1999, 2000 and 2001. It also tells about crime prevention programs, campus law enforcement operation, resources for victims of crime and sex offender registration, said Jeff Harp, director of the UCO DPS. Harp said a few areas did see change in the number of reported crimes. The report shows a decrease from 20 burglaries in 2000 to eight in 2001 and an increase of two motor vehicle thefts in 2000 to five in 2001.

Harp said the change in the number of burglaries could be the result of a number of factors, like better marking of property or an increased awareness of campus security.

As for the increase in the number of motor vehicle thefts, Harp said with such small numbers the percentage of increase may be high but the actual number of cars stolen is still low.

He said although the numbers are small, it is important to remember that

each case left a victim.

Clorissa Nubine, business administration freshman, said, "There are usually police around the commons standing around, so I feel pretty safe."

"I don't feel like I'm going to walk around campus and get attacked," she said.

Amanda Smith, forensic science freshman, said she felt safe from physical violence but said she had experienced some theft problems.

"We had a problem in the dorm rooms with stealing, but I keep my door locked so I don't really worry about it."

Christin Webb, graphic design freshman, said she also feels safe at UCO. "I live in Oklahoma City so coming to Edmond seems pretty safe," she said.

Harp said UCO crime is surprisingly low. But, sometimes it's hard to know whether the low numbers are from low reporting or low crime, he said.

Databases now accessible through UConnect system

by Michael Larson ma@thevistaonline.corn Lexis-Nexis is now available off-campus for the first time since its introduction last April via UConnect, along with most of the other research databases UCO provides.

Students performing research may be happy to see the library's former system of assigning different user names and passwords to each database is done-for.

Students now need only their UConnect user name and pin number.

"We had a lot of off-campus access before, but it was clunky and not secure," said Abbey Warner, Web Services librarian.

The list of passwords was axed the third week of September and security was switched over to a proxy server that authenticates users and moves them on into the system.

"The nature of a proxy server allows you to limit who gets into the community, which is in this case students and

faculty," Warner said.

"Think of it as a doorman," Warner said, citing that about 98 percent of users get in without trouble.

Ona Britton, who handles reference and instruction for the library, said because this was the proxy server's first semester to be in operation, and because the UConnect system is relatively new, it will need time to get all the problems ironed out.

A few companies have strict regulations against their databases being accessed outside the physical area of their client libraries, but Britton said these databases were highly specialized and used by a smaller percentage of students.

As before, on-campus access to the databases will be unrestricted. For UConnect information call Information Technology at 974-2255 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Warner said, "Once we have this system working without flaw, it will be a definite assent to students' educations."

Ebampus Quotes How has your view of Islam changed since September 11th.

Have you walked around the campus parking lot recently and checked out what kind of cars UCO students are driving?

While there are plenty of cars that look like they should be retired 5 years ago, there are abundant of new or nearly new cars. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Hey, if you want to look cool in a nice ride and don't mind paying the price, or let your parents pay for it, it's your choice.

by Michael Larson ml@thevistaonline.com Let's face it: you can't just walk around naked in most circles of society. Clothing is a part of American culture that's here to stay. And when it comes up in conversation, you have to know what to call it. We have colorful words for every freak formation of cloth one could slide around his or her body.

Here are some basic words that can be used instead of clothes. They mean the same thing, but people don't like to say "clothes" all the time because it's difficult to pronounce and sounds kinda plain.

Threads — "Nice threads" means nice clothes. "Where did you get those threads?" means where did you get those clothes.

Garb — "He was all dressedup in gothic garb" means he was wearing gothic-style clothing.

Get-up — "What's with that sleazy get-up? Are you planning on turning tricks?" means "Why are you dressed like that?

You look like a prostitute!"

Outfit — "Where'd you get that outfit? The golf shop?" means "Your clothing looks like a golfer's clothing."

To be decked in — to be wearing a lot of a certain color, fabric, or item. "My drug dealer is all decked-out in gold," or "He was decked in blacks and grays. I couldn't see him when he ran in front of my car."

To be pimped-out in — to wear. Pimped-out is usually reserved for guys. "He was pimped out in a tie and pinstripe suit."

There are also specific words for different articles of clothing, like tops:

been scouting our campus and realize that us state college students are richer than we look. We've taken the tuition savings we get by going to a state college and spent them on those fancy cars. On top of that, many of us have also upgraded the car stereo systems to one that are sure to impress the most sophisticated audiophiles.

We could very well see those statistics hike up some more this year.

Please remember we do have call boxes on campus, which you could use to ask for a DPS officer to escort you out to the car if you are staying late.

Use them wisely so you won't face the possibility of fighting off thieves or other unfriendly visitors alone.

Hoody — a hooded sweatshirt with a central pocket located in front of the belly.

"Why do you have your hood pulled over your head. Are you going to rob me or something?"

Wife-beater — a plain white sleeveless shirt, usually worn as underneath other clothing.

Like a tank-top (a sleeveless shirt,) but with even less dignity. "You look like a dork in that wife-beater. I can't believe you go out dressed like that."

Muscle shirt — these are shirts bind to the upper-body and cling to show off muscular angles. Sometimes they are sleeveless. Occasionally they come in such tasteless forms as the cut-off-at-the-belly-button shirt. "Hey Bill, that Wild Stallion's shirt totally makes you look like an alcoholic buttrocker!"

Footwear: Flip-flops — these are very simple summertime shoes. A thong wraps around the wearer's toes and binds the wearer's foot to the sole. "You shouldn't be wearing those flip-flops in chemistry lab. What if someone broke a test tube?"

Thigh-highs — pantyhoselike stockings that climb up to the thighs. Usually worn with a mini-skirt. "I wish field hockey players would wear thighhighs."

Go-go boots — These boots, worn usually by girls, come up to the knees. These were standard-issue in the 1970's and have since become a staple of modern fashion. "Those go-go boots make me say go-go-gadget sex drive!"

Sneakers — casual shoes that are comfortable and can take a lot of abuse from snow and mud puddles. Running shoes, tennis shoes, cross-trainers — these can all be called sneakers.

Fishnet — these are pantyhose with web-like patterns.

They are called fishnet because they often look like a net used to catch fishes. "She was all decked out in fishnet, legs crossed, sipping a martini on a sofa, pretending she didn't want to be there."

Steel-toes — military boots with

steel plates covering the toe region. While these protect against the always-unpleasant toe-stubbing, they also serve as a great tool for kicking people's teeth in. "That bastard wore steel-toes in the mosh pit! Talk about a party foul."

Headwear: Do-rag — another word for a bandana worn around one's head. "Why are you wearing that crusty old do-rag? Did you not get a chance to wash your hair?"

Beanie — these are woven caps people wear to keep their heads warm during winter.

Usually worn by guys, these caps can easily be stuffed in one's pocket and come in various colors, patterns, and sports team embroideries. A critical piece of break-dancer attire, beanies eliminate friction during head-spins. "Where did you get that ridiculous beanie? You look like Santa Clause!"

Scrunchy — girls use these cloth-covered elastic bands to tie their hair back. Usually they come in bright colors, and girls can wear them as a bracelet when not being used for their hair. "Shut up or I will strangle you with my scrunchy!"

Pants: High-waters — pants that aren't exactly shorts and aren't full-length. High-waters cut off right below the calf, and were popular with teenage girls in the late 1990's. Alas, another item of fashion with no staying power. "Those high-waters make you look like a chicken."

Ass-huggers — jeans that are tight, particularly around the hip and butt regions. In the 1980's, ass-huggers became a nation-wide phenomenon.

Popularized by bands like Poison and Def Leopard, department stores would sell ripped up, bleached jeans for guys to wear around. It was a flamboyant fashion that couldn't last.

Cargo pants — slacks with a whole bunch of extra pockets running down the leg. These come in and out of style frequently, and the pockets often have tasteless additions like zip-

BRIEFS National Police investigate party crash that injured 14 OCEAN CITY, N.J. (AP) Four people remained hospitalized in fair condition Sunday after a car went out of control and crashed into a block party Saturday, injuring 14 people.

Authorities said the injuries were mostly cuts and broken bones and were not life-threatening. Police had originally said 16 people were injured.

No charges were filed Sunday, according to Ocean City Police Officer William Campbell. He said authorities were trying to determine what caused the vehicle to lurch through a fence and onto a sidewalk. The car hit a streetlight before stopping.

The driver was identified as Linda Bower, 53, of Ocean City. Police planned to interview her this week, after gathering statements from witnesses and victims.

Runner collapses during race NEW YORK (AP) A runner collapsed and died during a half-marathon in Staten Island on Sunday, police said.

The man, whose name and age were not immediately released, collapsed at about 12 p.m. on Father Cappodano Boulevard, less than halfway through the 13.1-mile race, according to police.

He was pronounced dead at Staten Island University Hospital.

The medical examiner was to determine the exact cause of death.

International Bin Laden will appear on TV soon DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) Osama bin Laden is alive and will appear on a videotape soon, a man who identified himself as a senior al-Qaida member told an Arabic weekly.

"Sheik Osama is alive and in good health. He has gained more weight due to security precautions and his inability to move a lot as you will notice in his next appearance," Abdel Rahman al-Rashed told the London-based Arabic-language magazine Al Majalla in remarks published Friday.

Mahmoud Khalil, a correspondent for the weekly, told The Associated Press Sunday that he conducted the interview over a week in October through the Internet. He said it took him more than a month to arrange it.

Writer sentenced for criticizing Islam DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) A district court in Bangladesh sentenced exiled writer Taslima Nasrin to a year in jail for criticizing Islam in her book, a court official said Sunday.

The sentence will take effect the day the feminist writer, who resides in Europe, is arrested, an official at the Gopalganj court said on the condition of anonymity. Gopalganj is about 60 miles southwest of the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka.

Nasrin fled Bangladesh in 1994 after Islamic extremists threatened to kill her. She never appeared in court to answer the charges and had no lawyer.

Saturday's ruling came three years after an Islamic cleric sued Nasrin, accusing her of making critical remarks" against Islam in her 1994 novel Lajja" - which means shame.

NEWS House approves defense spending bills OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Oklahoma could receive $368 million to develop a replacement for the Crusader artillery system abruptly canceled by the Pentagon earlier this year.

The money comes from a $355 billion defense appropriations bill approved by the House of Representatives. The Senate is expected to take up the

bill within the next week.

Details of a replacement for the Crusader have not been released, but Oklahoma lawmakers are hoping that there would still be some assembly done in Elgin and that training on the gun would be conducted at Fort Sill.

The Crusder project was canceled in May when Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said the artillery

systems didn't meet the Pentagon's goal of using lighter, more mobile weapons.

The decision was a blow to the small town of Elgin where some Crusader assembly was to be done.

Nixing the Crusader project also raised questions about the future of field artillery, the main mission of Fort Sill.

Soltani said the media shows the war on terrorism, the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan and reports on the possibility of war against Iraq, but it doesn't show how people really feel toward Americans.

For example, the British Broadcasting Corporation produces more in-depth reports, more opinions, he said.

"I feel like we're not getting the whole picture of what really goes on in the Middle East," Soltani said.

Soltani said he was in Iran for several months this summer. The Iranian peOple . haVe 'positive feelings ' toward 'America and Americans and they enjoy American cultural exports like movies and music, he said.

"They may not always agree with the actions of the [U.S. government], but the people, in general, they don't have anything

against Americans," Soltani said.

Baig said over the summer he was in Pakistan and witnessed similar pro-American sentiments.

Soltani said people in the Middle East live much like Americans do, going to work each day, providing for their families.

Many Iranians want to travel freely to the U.S. and they want to be able to purchase more American products and to be able to trade more with U.S. businesses, Soltani said.

Appearing on the CBS program "60 Minutes" earlier this month Falwell responded to a question, calling Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, a terrorist and a violent man. Falwell prefaced his comment by calling most Muslims people of peace. And he said no single major religion is perfect.

Shahzad said people in leadership positions shouldn't make statements that are not constructive, which don't help the community as a whole.

When leaders like Falwell make such a statement, without being 100 percent accurate, they are misusing their authority, feeding their followers misinformation, Shahzad said.

Baig said Americans have numerous freedoms, including freedom of speecii ; However, what people say sometimes reflects poorly on them.

Soltani said he felt Falwell made a poor decision choosing to make the public comments about the prophet Muhammad..

Muslims believe God, "Allah," sent the prophet Muhammad to

teach the world about Islam. A Muslim believes in Allah as the one true God and follows the teachings of Muhammad, Allah's prophet, Shahzad said. A Muslim's actions are based upon that belief, he said.

That is why Muslims pray in a particular direction, toward Mecca, Shahzad said.

Mecca, Muhammad's birthplace, is the holy city in Saudi Arabia. Islam is a concept of brotherhood, consisting of believers from many different countries, different ethnic groups.

"When they pray they stand together," Shahzad said.

"They don't have any differences, be it a rich guy, a poor guy, anyone, be it a doctor, or a laborer. There's not like, 'You have your spot and I have my spot.' It's a religion that brings people and cultures together. It's not a religion that separates or makes a difference among the people."

Each day, during a lifetime, a

Muslims' actions are dictated by Islamic rules, Shahzad said. A Muslims' relationship with Allah is based on a combination of love and caution. Before doing something, a Muslim thinks twice, he said.

The concept of accountability is important in Islam, Shahzad said. If religion were to be taken out of the world, it would lead to chaos, he said.

Baig said the Quran was meant for all of humanity to read, not just people in the Middle East. He said he bases his actions on the teachings of Muhammad and other prophets and messengers significant to Islam.

Muslims believe that through Muhammad, Allah revealed the Quran, the last of the holy books revealed through prophets and messengers. Built upon the teachings of Moses and Jesus, the Quran instructs Muslims on how to live faithfully in a manner pleasing to Allah.

"Anybody the school admits is capable of graduating," said Wood, but many of them don't and she wanted to figure out why.

Her research, which was based on research of students who didn't persist, concluded that poor study habits and poor time management were the primary reasons why freshmen withdraw after their midterms or don't return for their second semester.

Wood also encouraged freshman from UCO's Student Response System — a program she helps operate aimed at keeping freshmen in school — to participate in research day.

"I wanted to expose them to research and to get them excited.

Swing-a-Thon raises money for hemophilia research 14 Fawn Porter fp@thevistaonline.com Acacia and Alpha Xi Delta will hold its annual fundraiser, the Swing-a-Thon, from 8 a.m. Oct. 22 to 10 p.m. Oct. 23 by Broncho Lake.

Shereen Khodaparst, Alpha Xi Delta philanthropy chair, said the Swing-a-Thon raises money for the non-profit Oklahoma Hemophilia Foundation.

Kenneth Wohl, Acacia's philanthropy chair, said both Acacia and Alpha Xi Delta nationally recognize the event.

"Nationally, we do the Swing-aThon together," Wohl said.

"The Swing-a-Thon is a 38hour non-stop event," Khodaparst said.

"We will have three swings," she said. "Two of the swings will be occupied by one member of Acacia and one member of Alpha Xi Delta at all times."

The third swing will be used for anyone who would like to participate in the event.

Last year, the third swing had a number of guest swingers, including Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin and Dr. Kathryn Gage, vice president of student services, said Wohl.

Khodaparst said there will be bands playing all night, a DJ, Papa

Campus training

John's pizza for sale and a pie-inthe-face contest.

Any member of Acacia or Alpha Xi Delta will be subject to receiving a pie in the face during their allotted swing time, Khodaparst said.

"Anyone can come by, purchase a pie, and throw it in our faces during the time we're there," she said.

The event will also include the opportunity to guess the amount of pennies in a jar for a chance to win raffle prizes. Three guesses may be purchased for $1.

Khodaparst said the hemophilia foundation is dedicated to the treatment of hemophilia, a disease in which the blood is missing a necessary factor used for clotting.

The foundation organizes Camp Independence. Camp Independence brings children to its facilities for a weeklong stay that includes horseback riding, fishing and swimming.

Khodaparst said its main purpose, however, is to teach the children how to infuse themselves.

Infusion is the shot that enables the blood of hemophiliacs to clot.

"What they are taught during this camp could save their lives," Khodaparst said.

UCO Donna Nigh Gallery to display scientist's art

Voter turnout hits new low

Sfreet Edmond • 348-1000

Oklahoma was one of 17 states to set a new low for voter turnout during a non-presidential primary, according to a study by the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate.

The Aug. 27 primary drew 21.3 percent of the people who were eligible to vote in Oklahoma, the study shows.

About 2.6 million

Oklahomans were eligible to vote in August, but only 556,265 showed up at the polls.

The highest Oklahoma turnout for a non-presidential primary was recorded by the group was 41.35 percent in 1974.

In 1994 - the last midterm primary with U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races on the ballot - turnout was x.6.9 ,percent.

An internationally renowned scientist, known for his innovative methods in finding and treating disease, will reveal his artistic abilities during an exhibit at the Donna Nigh Gallery at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Dr. Jordan Tang's paintings, titled ''De Novo Dimensions," will be shown from Oct. 25 through Nov. 24. A free, opento-the-public reception for Jordon will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. on the gallery's fourth floor in the Nigh University Center.

Tang is known for his research, which has impacted the diagnosis and treatment of a number of diseases including stomach cancer, hypertension and AIDS. He recently discov, ered an enzyme that causes Alzheimer's disease, which could lead to an effective drug treat-

ment.

This exhibit will be the first public showing of Tang's art.

He took up painting as a hobby a few years ago, and has taken several art classes at UCO from Dr. Bob Palmer, chair of the Department of Art. Tang describes himself as a "thinking man's painter." He believes his art reveals a connection between the scientific and the artistic.

"Dr. Tang has crossed the bridge from right-brain to leftbrain creativity in a visually dynamic style," said Zina Gelona, UCO director of galleries and museums.

A native of China, Tang is currently the J.G. Putterbaugh Chair for Medical Research and is head of the Protein Studies Program at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation.

required to register but don't know," Harp said.

Harp said he anticipated having more people come in to register and warned of the consequences for failing to do so.

"If it's someone who's still on probation and they don't register their chances of going back to prison are pretty good," he said.

Harp said after a sex offender registers their information is posted in a binder available to the public in the DPS office.

The UCO DPS will be working closely with the City of Edmond to get sex offenders registered, Harp said.

He said it is more difficult to get sex offenders registered on campus than it is at the city level because it is harder to find out where someone works or goes to school than where they live.

Smith said she thinks forcing

sex offenders to register on campus is a good idea.

"It should be known, not necessarily held against them, but known," she said.

Todd Wiebusch, marketing junior, said he thought registering sex offenders was the least that should be done.

Harp said anyone interested in learning how safe the campus is should look at the Annual Security Report.

"Read between the lines and say what else is going on here," he said.

The report is available in paper-form at the Office of Prospective Student Services, the Office of Human Resources and the DPS or online at wvvw.ucok.edu/securityreport.

For more information call 974-2345.

Oklahoma made this the state law earlier this year, so that they would be in compliance with the federal law and not lose funding, Harp said.

"That includes contractors, they may not work for UCO but if they work at UCO they need to register," he said.

Harp said the UCO DPS has their system prepared and is ready for sex offenders to come and register.

So far no one has registered, but he said one man was charged by the City of Edmond for failing to register.

Colleges converge at annual theatre festival

D REAMS While your body sleeps your mind actively sorts out the details of your day.

by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline.com

T

hrough a strange dark forest you run. Your breath quickens. Your heart pounds. You feel the predator closing in. You trip on a tree root and scramble to your feet. You rush into a cabin and search out a hiding place.

You hear the beast nearby sniffing, like an animal following its prey. The closet door opens. It's Bigfoot; you wake up.

"He's really big and he's more black than brown and he has big teeth and red eyes," said UCO student Courtney Drake, who has the reoccurring dream.

"But he always finds me by smelling me. It's the most horrible dream."

UCO student Mark Simpson has different dreams.

"Sexual dreams," Simpson said.

"I'm not gonna lie. They're a big favorite of mine."

Simpson said he also dreams about meeting his girlfriend's parents and it turns out he's naked.

UCO student Megan Myers doesn't remember most of her dreams, mainly just insignificant facts about them.

UCO student Chase Ellis said he has dreams in which he is doing something in a certain location one moment, in another the next. The last dream he remembers was about a fight.

He said he couldn't remember much else about it.

"Me and some friends got jumped by a bunch of people."

Why do we dream?

Dr. Lorry Youll, a licensed psychologist and an assistant

psychology professor at UCO, said despite the fact that some dreams are unpleasant, dreaming has a purpose.

During an average day, the brain processes an immense amount of data, ranging from what we hear - sounds such as people having conversations - to what we see - sights such as television commercials.

"What we experience that day is still in there," Youll said.

"There's things that we miss out on. We do tend to dream about what's on our minds, so if finals are on our minds and we dreamed that we slept through finals, that just kind of makes sense."

At night, the brain is consolidating memories, consolidating information and resting, Youll said. We rotate through sleep cycles. In stage one, we begin slow-wave sleep. In stage two, the heart rate slows and respiration decreases. We become extremely calm.

Near the end of the cycle, we experience rapid eye movement, or REM sleep. Science theorizes that vivid dreams such as anxiety dreams occur during REM sleep.

Forgetting to go to school the first day of class, forgetting a final and being naked in front of people are common examples of anxiety dreams described by college students, Youll said.

Some psychologists think dreams have significant meanings for us, Youll said. During a therapy session, they interpret dreams, look for hidden meanings and use that information to help clients learn more about themselves, gain insight.

Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalytic thought, dedi-

cated a great deal of time to interpreting dreams.

Some psychologists think dreams do not have significant meaning for us, Youll said.

Freud himself was once quoted as saying, ''Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

Youll is a cognitive behaviorist. Cognitive behaviorists focus on what people think about and behaviors over dream interpretation. Still, Youll said there is a place for dream interpretation in psychology.

Youll had some advice for students experiencing stress dreams. She said they're probably having them more frequently than they realize.

Most likely poor quality of sleep allows us to wake up and remember our dreams, Youll said. If we were sleeping better, more soundly, we probably wouldn't wake up and remember our dreams, he said.

Dreams aren't necessarily predictions and dreaming something doesn't necessarily make it so, Youll said.

"If a person has a disturbing dream and then they allow it to influence their behavior in a way that creates the reality of the dream, then that's not going to be very useful obviously," Youll said.

An example would be allowing an anxiety dream about a class grade to interfere with performance in the class, Youll said.

Students also need to know that sleep deprivation can be as dangerous as driving while intoxicated, she said.

Youll urged students to not over interpret their dreams. If nightmares or reoccurring dreams are interfering with a student's ability to function adequately, Youll suggested that they get assistance from a counselor.

Students may receive free counseling from UCO Counseling Services. For more information call 974-2215.

UCO will host the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF) on Oct. 2326 in Mitchell Hall Theatre.

"The festival seeks to bring together, over several days, the work of numerous college theaters in live performance," said theatre arts professor Dr. Bob McGill.

"It gives the students a chance to see the work of their peers and tointeract with them personally and professionally."

Along with UCO, the festival will have live performances from Amarillo College, Tulsa Community College, Oklahoma City Community College, St. Gregory's College, and Eastern Oklahoma State College.

"Our department has been involved with the KACTF since its inception," said theatre arts chairperson and professor Dr. Roberta Sloan.

The KCACTF is an annual event that was started in 1969 in order to improve the quality of college theater in the United States. It gives theater departments the chance to see each others work and to share ideas.

In addition to live performances the festival will offer workshops and seminars on such topics as portfolios, stage combat, improvisation, and voice. Ron Stackerd Thompson, filmmakerin-residence at North Carolina School of the Arts, will teach a workshop on screen writing and the film industry from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 25 in Pegasus Theater.

Sloan said the workshops will be open to anyone who would like to attend.

Wildcats' late game field goal beat Bronchos 22-20

by Daniel Holdge

dh@thevistaonline.com The Broncho football team headed to Texas on Saturday, Oct. 12 with high hopes despite their disappointing record.

Several heartbreaking losses have doomed UCO so far this season, and unfortunately the trend continued one more week.

Abilene Christian's Eben Nelson kicked a 36-yard field

goal with just over two minutes remaining as the Wildcats handed the Bronchos a 22-20 Lone Star Conference loss.

For the second week in a row, a field goal by the opposing team finished the game.

UCO's record is now 2-4 on the year and 2-2 in the LSC standings, having lost their four games by a combined 20 points.

ACU improved to 2-3 and 21 with its second straight lastminute win.

UCO had a chance after Nelson's field goal, moving to the ACU 44 before Erick Johnson's was intercepted on fourth down.

The big difference in this loss compared to the other three, is the offense was very successful, but the defense just couldn't hold when they needed to.

The Bronchos offense finished with a wonderful 438 total yards as Johnson hit 18-of-29 passes for 266 yards while also scoring on two short runs.

Dee Dee Carter caught 10 passes for 151 yards and Jason Phenix rushed for 107 yards on 25 carries as UCO played without star tailback Tank Abdullah.

The Broncho defense, which has been the strong point for the Bronchos this season, gave up 417 total yards, with quarterback Colby Freeman hitting 18of-28 passes for 272 yards and three touchdowns.

"We played well enough to win offensively but we gave up too many big plays on defense," UCO coach Gary Howard said.

UCO, took the lead on its first possession of the third quarter with a 91-yard TD march.

A 20-yard pass from Johnson to Carter on third-and-seven kept the drive alive and Dusty Borror ended it with the first touchdown of his career on a 22yard reverse.

ACU went 80 yards to take the lead back early in the fourth period, scoring on a 32-yard pass from Freeman to Don Hooks.

A missed extra point left the score at 19-14.

The Bronchos went for a impotant two-point conversion, hoping to take a three-point lead, but tailback Darien Hall was stopped just shy of the end zone to leave UCO with a onepoint lead.

Volleyball wins for the home crowd UCO soccer routs opponents

by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com The Broncho volleyball team had the weekend off after they beat up on St. Gregory's last Thursday night.

Stacey Meek had a careerhigh seven service aces as the Bronchos overpowered SGU at Hamilton Field House for its 20th consecutive victory.

The Bronchos pretty much played in this uneven match with UCO rolling to a 30-8, 30-23, 30-18 win.

Central Oklahoma volleyball improved to 20-2 with its 18th straight home win dating back to last season's season-opener.

"Everybody got to play quite a bit and that was the plan," UCO coach Mark Herrin said.

"It was good to see some of our younger players get out there and do well."

All 10 players available saw plenty of action for the Bronchos, who hit a stout .388 in the game with 48 kills and just 10 errors in 98 attacks.

Meek had seven of the Bronchos's 13 aces while adding 25 assists and four kills.

Alma Brahimaj had a teamhigh eight kills in playing just the first two games.

Katy Wallace and Kena

Harris had seven kills apiece and Alison Pierce six kills and three total blocks.

by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com The Broncho soccer team had another successful weekend, dominating the Carl's Jr. Invitational at Tom Thompson Field Oct. 11 and 12.

On Friday, seven players scored points for the No. 17ranked Bronchos hurting Dallas Baptist 9-0.

Seven players scored at least one goal and four others had at least one assist for the Bronchos.

April Dowell and Leah Anderson had two goals apiece for UCO, while Chelsea Holland, Kim Brown, Meleia Bacon, Anna Snedeker and Jennifer Lindsey all scored one goal each.

The Bronchos outshot the Lady Patriots 29-9, including 20-2 in the first half, with Melissa Penn making five saves while going the distance at goalkeeper.

On Saturday, Kim Brown scored two more goals leading UCO to a 5-0 win over Central Arkansas completing a sweep of the two-day event. UCO improved to 13-1 with the two wins over the weekend.

"Overall we played pretty well," said UCO coach Mike Cook, it was a good weekend for us. We need to try and get

consistent, so we can finish strong in the conference."

UCO outshot Central Arkansas overwhelmingly, 28-3.

The Bronchos return to Lone Star Conference action on

Thursday, Oct. 17 at 3 p.m. at East Central.

Sound comes to UCO World Cup soccer in time for playoffs Four teams earned a place in UCO World Cup soccer playoffs to be held Friday, Oct. 25.

by Stephanie Nease sn@thevistaonline.com Eddy Hrdlicka enjoys himself, his voice slide-whistling like every other play-by-play sports announcer's.

His enthusiasm is not lost on the players or the spectators, as he initiates a new tradition of music and commentary on the last day of UCO World Cup regular play.

Hrdlicka, junior business management major and UCO Soccer Club member, gives credit to Ermida "Eda" Boci, junior finance major and International Student Council secretary, for the electronic voice of UCO World Cup soccer.

"It was Eda's idea," he said

over the sounds of Euro-techno music, pointing to a petit, dark haired female at the coordinator's table.

They took Eda's idea to Jalal Daneshfar, international student activity coordinator, for his approval, and from there, they elicited help from Fred Hibbert in the media center.

"Fred's the man," Hrdlicka said. "He brings the equipment to the soccer field and picks it up after the games."

The heavy-duty sound system plugs in at the fire station's outdoor outlet, courtesy of Chief Gil Harryman with Edmond Fire Department.

Music materializes from whatever CDs are within reach at the moment.

The overall consensus seems to be that music at the soccer games is a plus, if it's music the players like, and if it doesn't distract them.

Philip Yan, sophomore co ► n-

puter science major on China's team, said he finds it distracting, regardless of the kind of music.

Hrdlicka said to avoid distracting players, his intention is to keep the volume down during actual play.

Al Njuguna, sophomore computer science major on Africa's team, said he likes the music, as did his teammate, Stephen Ondiek, freshman graphic design major, who calls it, "very good."

Keiichi Sato, freshman MIS major and Japan No. 2 team member, said he thinks the addition of music is a good thing.

Makoto Murata, Junior MIS major and Japan No. 1 team member said he likes the addition of music to the games.

"But not Ricky Martin!" His

team members laugh and nod in agreement.

Hrdlicka said it's OK if teams bring their own music CD to play during their game.

Does that mean no more Ricky Martin?

Multinational athletes converged on the fire station soccer field Friday to determine which teams advance to the UCO World Cup soccer playoffs.

In game one, Japan's No. 1 team spun China around the field to a dizzying 5-2 defeat, winning Japan No. 1 a spot in the playoffs and the dance competition.

Africa won a 5-1 first-class ticket to the playoffs when they railroaded Japan No. 2 in game two.

The UCO Jazz Lab will host a pop/rock revue entitled "What You Don't Know About Women" at 8 p.m. on Oct. 24.

The concert will feature the vocals of UCO students Amanda Cross, Mandy Overton, Sheena Smith, Lindsie VanWinkle, Dana Weddle and Ashlee Wood.

Greg White, UCO production associate and producer of the show, said the revue will be the premiere production in a student performance series.

"I came up with the idea after seeing the personalities of the singers during their auditions," said White.

"They are all very strong, independent female vocalists with individual styles and ranges."

Included in the performance will be the title song "What You Don't Know About Women" from the musical City of Angels.

The women will also sing songs by female artists like Bette Midler and Aretha Franklin.

Mandy Overton, music theatre senior, said, ''Greg put a lot of thought into matching the songs with the proper singer."

Overton said she wants to work as a solo-recording artist in Nashville and the revue served as great experience.

"The performance has been a lot of fun for me and a nice change of pace from musical theater."

The performers will each have four solos.

"The songs all have emotions and thoughts of women that people don't often know about," Overton said.

"The performers, just like the songs, are all completely different from one another."

White said the Jazz Lab brings in several different types of shows, but the revue will be the first non-jazz performance

'They are all very strong, independent female vocalists with individual styles and ranges."

— Greg White by students.

"The revue will draw a large variety of people because it will appeal to a different crowd. We will always include jazz, but we also hope to shake it up a bit by integrating new types of shows."

White said the Jazz Labs plans to have a Christmas revue with a similar format.

Tickets to the performance are $3 for UCO students and $5 for all others.

Tuck Everlasting is a Disney movie based on the children's novel by Natalie Babbitt. It is set in the mid 1910s and takes place mostly in the forest outside

Winifred Foster's home. Winnie, played by Alexis Bledel ("Gilmore Girls") is the only child of proud, wealthy parents.

The movie makes it very clear that she feels isolated and stifled by her lifestyle. She isn't accepted by her peers because of her par-

When Jesse's older brother Miles (Scott Bairstow) sees that Winnie has discovered their secret he kidnaps her.

We are then taken to the Tuck home, deep in the forest. Mae Tuck (Sissy Spacek) hasn't seen another woman in a very long time and is excited to have Winnie in the house.

The family is reluctant to reveal the long hidden secret to Winnie but they can't let her go until they know she can be trust-

ed not to tell anyone about their existence.

This movie deals with questions of mortality and looks at the beauty of the natural life cycle.

Because it's more of a concept movie, it doesn't have a lot of action and at times is slow.

Any movie featuring quaint family life and an innocent love story will certainly appeal far more to women than men. It may be difficult for young boys or men, to find something that holds their attention. Although, the villain played by Ben Kingsley (Schindler's List), does bring a little mystery and intrigue.

The movie has a feel similar to The Secret Garden or the straight to video release, Anne of Green Gables and may have been better suited for television than the big screen.

Even so, the movie does have a certain fairytale charm with a glistening waterfall, child-like love story and the Tuck's rustic cabin in the forest.
