Officials propose twisting lid off tuition cap ■ Oklahoma students pay 70 percent of the national average for tuition and fees, ranking among the seven cheapest states to attend college.

by Michael Larson ml@thevistaonline.com The recent avalanche of budget cuts has higher education administrators scouring the cold

shadow of an economic cliff for haven — some more willing than others to dig down into the warm pockets of students.

Senate Bill 596, which passed May 2001 under more economically stable skies, transferred the burden of approving tuition raises from the state legislature to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OKSRHE.) In order to gradually warm Oklahoma's tuition rates up to the national average, the bill also allowed regents to approve up to seven-percent increases in tuition

every year. With statewide education budget cuts some administrators are anxious to get rid of the seven percent cap.

John Michael Hays, President of Southwestern University in Weatherford, said, "The students, taxpayers, and people involved in higher education have to decide what level of quality they are willing to pay. for. IF tax payers say this is all we can do, and students want higher quality, they are going to have to pay for it themselves."

Because Southwestern State

and UCO are under the same 6school board of regents, called BOROC, and charge the same fixed tuition rates, a hypothetical tuition jump for Southwestern State would up UCO with it.

As it stands, UCO has already taken a $1 million budget cut as it began its fiscal year July 1, and another $2 million cut just weeks ago.

Steve Kreidler, UCO vice president for administration, said so far he has been able to piece together enough money to keep UCO afloat, thanks largely to an

enrollment increase and a refund on workers compensation insurance.

Kreidler said he had anticipated the tax cuts, and set aside money last year, but that, "If our budget cuts get any deeper, we'll have to deal with that if that as well."

"We are not planning on tuition increases above that which are allowed by law," Kreidler said.

Candidates disagree on how to fund higher education woes

by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline. corn Independent Gary Richardson and Republican Steve Largent agree that Oklahoma's colleges and universities are under funded, but the gubernatorial candidates disagree on how they would find revenue to fill in the gap.

Higher education in Oklahoma was the focus of the gubernatorial candidates' issues forum Oct. 2 in the state House of Representative's chamber. The Oklahoma Higher Education Alumni Council sponsored the event.

During the hour-long forum, Regent Cheryl P. Hunter, Edmond Mayor Saundra Gragg Naifeh, the Tulsa World's Ken Neal, and BancFirst Chairman of the Board Gene Rainbolt quizzed the candidates.

Last month, the State Regents for Higher Education cut $36 million from its budget, forcing Oklahoma's 25 colleges and universities to make reductions in their budgets. State revenue collections have been down, and future budget cuts are a real possibility, state officials have said.

"If we want to fund education and do it at appropriate levels

we've got to figure out how to get our economy moving in a different direction," Largent said.

Richardson said, "I do believe we have to start work on things that we do have control over and that is making ways where we can help people get college degrees.

We have to look at raising the state by raising the education level."

Each candidate believes the state would save millions by reforming government and cutting unnecessary programs.

Richardson and Henry want a state-run lottery system to raise money for education. Largent does not favor a lottery.

Liquor by the drink and paramutual betting were supposed to help fix the financial problems in the state education system, but did not, Largent said.

"And now look at the answer, a lottery," Largent said.

"That's the answer? That's gonna fix it? It's not gonna work.

You've got to overhaul the engine."

Richardson cited progress made by Georgia in its education system after implementing a state-run lottery. With the improvements that followed, Richardson said the number of

high school seniors leaving Georgia dropped substantially.

Under Richardson's plan, when lottery-generated revenue collections maintain projected levels, $155 million would be spent annually on college scholarships. To qualify, students would need a minimum 2.5 GPA and a 21 on the ACT. Richardson's plan is modeled after Oregon's lottery, he said.

"We've got to invest in the future of our state, and by investing in the future of our children we are investing in the future of our state," Richardson said.

Largent said the private sectw creates new wealth in a state, not the government.

"Taxpayers and the state of Oklahoma are subsidizing seventy-two percent of every college student's education in the state of Oklahoma today," Largent said.

Oklahomans "have watched eighty percent of the top twenty percent of our graduates leaving the state."

Largent stressed the significance of getting post-secondary education by saying that a college graduate will earn in their lifetime a minimum of $1 million

MO researcher, professor, mentor schedules return trip to work at NASA

by Summer Pratt sp@thevistaonline.com Dr. Baha Jassemnejad, UCO professor of physics and engineering, worked with nanotechnology at NASA this summer.

Jassemnejad has plans to return to NASA next summer and hopes to take at least one UCO student with him.

Jassemnejad worked at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's John H. Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio to develop a pair of laser tweezers that can manipulate particles about 900 nanometers in size, or about 1/1000th the width of a human hair.

"It's very promising technology. It's supposed to help us in many areas," Jassemnejad said.

He said the laser tweezers will allow scientists to arrange particles like atoms and molecules without damaging them when creating tiny materials and machines.

He said the first priority in selecting a student to go with him when he goes back to NASA will be the student's level of enthusiasm.

Jassemnejad has asked junior

Over the summer Dr. Bahaeddin Jassemnejad worked with nanotechnology at NASA, manipulating particles with laser tweezers. engineering physics-sciences major, Cassie Hoyt, to go with him.

Hoyt met Jassemnejad her freshman year while taking Introduction to Physics, a general education class for non-science majors.

"He thought I did well and he said, why don't you become an engineering physics major?" she said.

She said Jassemnejad is her mentor and encourages her to stay on track.

"It's nice to have someone on the inside rooting for you," she said.

Hoyt has started reading about nanotechnology to prepare for the work she'll do for NASA. She said she was impressed to learn the things you can do with an optic laser.

"It's really cool that you can manipulate tiny cells," she said.

Hoyt said she is eager to begin

Identity of design office sets department apart

by Kristen Armstrong ka@thevistaonline.com The newly formed UCO Department of Design will have the official opening of its new office, the James W. and Lorraine R. Watson Department of Design Office, on Oct. 11.

The department was established under the College of Arts, Media, and Design, which was inaugurated in January 2001.

"UCO is at the forefront of a trend across the country to create design departments separate from art departments," said Dr. Jim Watson, chairman of the design department.

"We are the only university in Oklahoma to have a distinct design department, and we are one of the few in the nation," he said.

Once the Design Department was formed, it became increasingly obvious that design students needed a separate identity from art students, Watson said.

This quest for identity took the shape of a new office devoted specifically to the needs of a design group.

Throughout the year, Watson saved departmental funds to pay for the construction of a new office. However, once the university budgets were zeroed in July, the money was gone.

"My parents donated the money to build this office, so we are honoring them in its name," he said.

Construction on the office was finished Sept. 25. Since then, other renovations and redecorating have been taking place in order to give the design wing of the Art Building a facelift.

"We wanted a space that really said, 'Design' when you walked into it. We wanted to be separate from Art," said Watson.

He designed the area himself, working on a grid different from the original building.

"Everything in the office is a symbol. We angled the walls and used a different grid system to show that in design, you

must 'think outside the box,' he said.

The double doors disappear into the wall to provide a sense of openness. Designer chairs sit in the waiting area. Silver metal letters of all fonts and sizes spell 'DESIGN' over the reception desk. The faculty mailboxes are personalized with anything that would define the owner's per-

sonality.

"This is not your typical academic office — we didn't want it to be," Watson said.

In the hallway outside the office, the new Design Gallery will hold the artwork of design students and faculty.

Its official opening will coincide with the office opening on Oct. 11. The first artist to be featured is Phenix, a 1992 UCO design graduate.

"The body of work represents an overview of the past year and a half. It is inspired by the events of contemporary life and is a report on the current conditions of society," he said.

The theme of the exhibit is "Technology, People, Euphoria, and Doom."

"It is artwork from a designer's point of view," Phenix said.

Watson hopes the new design office and gallery will continue to strengthen the identity of UCO design students.

"We want to create a unique identity for UCO and its design majors," he said.

The office and gallery opening will take place from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Oct. 11 in the Art and Design Building.

With the November election fast approaching, the three gubernatorial candidates scheduled a debate for Oct. 1 on the UCO campus. Potential voters gathered in Pegasus Theater, wanting to hear Republican Steve Largent, Democrat Brad Henry and Independent Gary Richardson discuss issues such as the budget crisis hindering higher education. However, none of the candidates were there. State Sen. Keith Leftwich did speak on Henry's behalf and fielded questions from members of the audience on issues that included higher education.

While the gubernatorial candidates may have had legitimate reasons for skipping the event, they missed an opportunity to speak directly to members of the UCO community, a block of more than 15,000 potential voters.

About a month before at voter awareness concert, "Rock the Vote," Urgent and Richardson came to the campus and spoke to students about getting involved in politics and making their vote count. The candidates spoke with passion and emphasized the importance of student voter turnout.

According to the Federal Election Commission, only 31 percent of voters ages 18-20 voted in the 1996 federal election, the

by Michael Larson ml@thevistaonline.com Drug users have a rich base of slang, one that puts even paramedics and computer hackers to shame. If one day you're a runway model at an after-party, an undercover cop, or a tourist in Chicago, you'll know what key words to listen for.

Each drug has its own set of slang — a noun for its user, other names the drug goes by, verbs for using it.

Heroin — this drug, which is popular among Texans and Red Hot Chilly Peppers, comes from a family of drugs called narcotics. It is usually injected.

Verb: to shoot-up, to bang, to mainline.

Noun for user: junky, junkies Also known as: h, smack MDMA — This is the current drug of choice for most weekend-warriors. Probably the drug to receive most media coverage recently, MDMA is a phenethylamine used at raves (all-night dance parties.) The drug makes its user feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and without a care in the world.

Verb: to roll Noun for user: n/a Also known as: ecstasy, e, x LSD — Word on the streets is LSD has all but disappeared.

This psychedelic was popular in the 1960's and has seen decreasing popularity since then.

Verb: to trip, to fry User: n/a Also known as: acid Methamphetamines — makes its users stay up for extended periods of time. It's made out of cleaning chemicals

lowest total of any age group. In that same election, national voter turnout in all ages was equally embarrassing, lower than 50 percent.

Why don't more students vote?

Some students don't vote because they are suspicions of politicians. Others believe their vote doesn't make a difference in the grand scheme of things. Some are not motivated.

We live in a democracy. And in a democracy, the people are the primary source of political power.

Part of the reason the gubernatorial candidates were not present at the debate is they are well aware of the statistics related to student voter turnout. The only way to reverse this trend is for more students to register and vote at their local polling place in November. The deadline for voter registration is Oct. 11.

For more information contact the Oklahoma County Election Board located at 4201 N. Lincoln Blvd. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma or call: 713-1515.

This November, get out and vote. Your vote does count.

Finally, if you don't vote, you sacrifice your right to complain.

that should be toxic enough by themselves, and can be snorted, smoked, or injected.

Verb: to spin, to be spun User: tweaker Also known as: speed, meth, crystal. , Marijuana — perhaps the most popular of them all, marijuana is an all natural drug which inspires its users to eat everything in sight, then go to sleep. In some states, this drug has been legalized for medical purposes.

Verb: to get stoned, to smoke out, to get high User: pot-head, stoner Also known as: weed, pot, Mary Jane, grass, smoke There is also a large body of terminology pertaining to drug use.

Coming down — when the drug starts to wear off "I can tell I'm coming down because the ceiling keeps looking lower and lower." This is also used as a noun, "come-down." "I don't use drugs because I can't handle the come-down."

Overdose — also called "OD" for short, this is when someone takes too much of a drug and dies or has to go to a hospital. "Jimmy's ODing. Can somebody take him to the hospital?"

To quit cold turkey — quitting a drug immediately, as opposed to using gradually lower doses. "He might be kind of hostile. He quit heroin cold turkey just yesterday."

Afterglow — The day after using a drug. With some drugs, like MDMA and LSD, the next day feels disoriented and strange. "I don't think I can work out today. That ecstasy left me with a pretty wicked afterglow."

So now you know all about drugs and their terminology.

Prove it! Read and comprehend this kid's drug experience.

"I was twelve, and I started off small. I started like everybody does, by stealing beers from the fridge and smoking out with my friends in woodshop class. I soon became the .

biggest pot-head of them all, smoking more blunts (marijuana cigarettes) than all those fools I used to be hanging out with. Things got a little crazy.

My older brother fed me a hit of acid, and I ran through the streets, tearing at my clothes and chain-smoking (smoking several cigarettes in a row.)

"I met a drug dealer named Kingdom and he asked me if I'd ever done smack. 'Yeah, I've done it,' I said, trying to sound cool. Are you sure?' he asked me, 'you look like you're only twelve.' I handed him a $20 bill I had stolen from my mom's purse and he handed me a baggy of black powder. He asked me if I knew how to bang it. 'Yeah, of course,' I said.

"I was still tripping, and I had no idea how to shoot up.

Then I remembered my pothead friends. One of them had a doctor for a father, so we went over to his house and raided his medicine cabinet. I stole a syringe and shot up in the bathtub. I'd never been so high before. My friend's older brother came home, and he had a mirror with a whole lot of meth on it. I'd never been spun before, so naturally I wanted to try it. 'Just give me a little bump (small amount of meth.)' I asked him. He handed me a straw and I snorted it.

Wow, I thought, how many drugs am I on right now?' It had been a long day. I shot the last of my heroin and promised myself I would quit cold turkey

Counselors on hand for depression screenings

2002 International Festival

by Fawn Porter fp@thevistaonline.com As part of National Depression Screening Day, UCO's Counseling Center will be offering free depression screenings from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 10 in Room 402 of the Nigh University Center.

"Depression is the common cold of mental health," said Dr. Lorry Youll, professor of psychology.

Youll said the classic signs of depression include: sleeping more, eating less or eating more than usual, thoughts of helplessness and hopelessness and loss in activities usually enjoyed.

"People whose symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks may be depressed."

Youll said there are many resources available for students who may be depressed.

"It is important to talk to someone," she said.

Friends or professors, pastors, religious organizations, hotlines and the counseling center are places to start, Youll said.

"If you know someone who may be depressed," she said, "talk to them, let them know you care."

She said people do not have to be depressed to

benefit from counseling.

Jan Chapel, coordinator of the counseling cen-

ter, said students who come in for screening will answer short surveys and then speak with a counselor. The questionnaire takes approximately 15 minutes to fill out, she said.

She said the counseling center staffs six counselors for students to talk to anytime.

Youll said feelings of depression often lead to suicidal tendencies.

Youll said common myths surrounding suicidal feelings are if someone talks about suicide, they probably will not do it; if you don't pay attention to the problem, it will go away; or if someone has attempted suicide, they will not do it again.

"Even if you think it may be for attention of someone is faking, take it serious and do something about it," Youll said.

"Don't be afraid to speak up," she said. "Have courage and do the right thing."

"Even if you make a promise, break it. It is better to lose a friend than to lose a life."

All of you out there worried that you can't use 90 percent of your brain, relax. Scientists say the idea that

we use just 10 percent of our brains is a myth.

"It's definitely 100 percent," said Dr. Larry Parsons, a cognitive scientist with the National Science Foundation (NSF). The NSF is an independent government agency established in 1950 to promote the progress of science.

"As far as we can tell, all of the brain's components are working all of the time.

They're working in different states; even in sleep they're working. If there are cells that aren't working they're going to die. Each cell interacts with other cells in order to keep in existence."

The "Ten Percent Myth," initiated about century ago by misquotes and misinterpretations, has been propagated by media reports and popular cultural, said Parsons, director of the NSF's Behavior and Cognitive Sciences program.

Higher, more cognitive functions occur in the front of the brain, things that really allow us to organize our activity, to anticipate what's going to happen in the world, Parsons said.

"Those things are critical and take up perhaps not as much of the brain because they're at a higher level," Parsons said.

"A lot of the hard work in the brain is done by the lower level systems, which, I think, do a lot of computing. Roughly speaking, that's how we talk about the cortex."

Areas below the cortex, including the cerebellum, are, evolutionarily speaking, older, Parsons said. The thalamus, a large structure in the middle of the brain, coordinates activity in various brain regions, and spinal and peripheral nervous systems with higher cortical functions.

Science doesn't have a clear sense of precisely how these various parts work, Parsons said. Some structures in the brain, like the cerebellum, gave humans an evolutionary competitive advantage over other species, he said.

"That extra support, gives you that extra advantage to do something a few milliseconds faster than the tiger, and that's why you're here and the other species isn't," Parsons said.

"The difference between us and the tiger is not so much that we can throw spears and they can't, it's that we have many, many different sort of problem-solving strategies and methods and things that we can do that they can't."

A century ago, in the late 1800s and early 1900s, scientists studied the brains of lab animals, Parsons said. Karl Lashley removed large portions of the cerebral cortex in rats and discovered that retrained animals functioned rather well.

"Their findings suggested that they could just keep carving away and the rats would just seem to be fine," Parsons said.

"Somehow, like many other urban myths, [the Ten Percent Myth] seems to have a life of its own. It must have started someplace, but no one has been able to do the scholarship to nail it down."

Dan O'Donoghue, director of the neuroanatomy lab portion of medical neuroscience for the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, said the popular belief that bigger is better doesn't necessarily apply to the human brain.

"If you go around measuring everybody's heads, the people with the biggest heads don't necessarily have the highest intelligence," O'Donoghue said.

O'Donoghue defined intelligence as having the ability to adapt in a way that takes into consideration both cultural and environmental factors.

If an intelligent modern person were magically transported back in time around the Jurassic Era, they would be able to adapt and survive, O'Donoghue said Conversely, the opposite would be true.

"I would assume that if you took an intey i kWia, „, ,Veman and stuck hitii . in the middle of the 2-0th en, , •.

In pre-recorded history there had to be many intelligent people. Ice Age people had to be intelligent in order to interact with their environment, to learn cues to create a setting where they and their families had a decent chance for survival."

Just because they weren't mathematical whizzes didn't mean they weren't intelligent, O'Donoghue said.

Intelligence isn't the main factor for succeeding under the rules of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, he said. More vital is being able to produce a sufficient number of offspring.

The human brain is probably the only brain in the animal kingdom that can project itself into the future and visualize things that don't presently exist such as buildings and sheet music, O'Donoghue said.

"I think there's kind of this human bigotry, if you will, that human brains are wholly different than other brains in terms of function," O'Donoghue said.

"In the final analysis, the human brain, as far as orders of magnitude different than other brains. But what makes them that way? We can't say."

Students express creativity at talent show

Tuition Cap, from page 1 Oklahoma University (OU) President David Boren said if state revenues continue to fall because of economic conditions, OU may pursue legislation to remove the cap on tuition and fee increases. His argument is that at the same time Oklahoma college students are paying much less than the national average for public education, college teachers are paid much less than the national average.

According to a 2002 nationwide survey by the Washington State Higher Education Board, Oklahoma students pay only 70% of the national average for tuition and fees, and is ranked among the seven cheapest states.

Boren said low salaries will cause many teachers to leave the state, and the quality of education will suffer.

Kreidler said, "It's everything we can do to make sure we don't have to let anyone go."

Kreidler said about 80 percent of the school's total costs go to salary and benefits. "It's hard to take that out of 20 percent that pays for everything else."

Hays said, "We need to develop a consensus among taxpayers, students, and higher education folks to determine what people are willing to corn-

mit to make sure that we maintain good quality programs in the state of Oklahoma."

The recently formed Higher Education Association for Reform (HEAR) announced their opposition to removing the 7 percent cap Sept. 9 on grounds that it would jeopardize students' ability to pay for school.

Thomas Guild, UCO business professor and chairman of HEAR, said, "Even before HEAR was formed, our leading members supported allowing letting regents set tuition rates, but we also supported caps."

"Seven percent is sufficient, and enough of a shock to the budget of students and their parents. In the current economy, such an increase would be insensitive and counter productive."

Harve Allen, director of media relations for the OKSRHE said in the two years since Senate Bill 596

by Fawn Porter fp@thevistaonline.com The third annual Modern Languages Talent Show will be held at from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Oct. 9 in the Pegasus Theater.

Dr. Rosaj Bird, assistant professor of modern languages, said the talent show would include five categories: acting, singing, dancing, music and visual arts.

"The purpose is for those studying the languages to be able to express their talents," Bird said.

Dr. Rudi Nollert, chairman of the modern languages department, said the event was "not aca-

demic, but artistic and cultural."

"This ties in with UCO's interest for global perspective," he said.

Nollert and Bird said they planned the talent show to coincide with UCO's International Week and Festival.

"International Week allows the community to see things from another homeland; the talent show allows the students to show an expanded ability to reach out to the world," Nollert said.

"It's a taste of what our students can do," he said.

French, German, Latin, Sanskrit, Italian, Japanese and

Spanish will be the languages represented through paintings, song and dance, plays and music, Bird said.

Bird said a group of students, including one from Germany, will present the "Three Little Bears" in Spanish.

"It is something well known so others can follow, but offers a different perspective in another language," Bird said.

"The talent show is another chance to participate in that...and have fun,"Nollert said.

Admission for the talent show is free. For more information, contact Bird at 974-5864.

passed, a majority of schools have asked for the maximum increase because of recent budget problems.

Allen said even if the legislature were to revoke the annual cap when it meets again this February, the soonest administrators could raise tuition rates would be Fall 2003.

Turning Langston University into the best school of its kind in the nation would be a strong selling point for Oklahoma and an encouragement for minority students preparing for a college education, Largent said.

Richardson said a change in direction is needed.

"I've been very close to the governor's office for the last seven years," Richardson said.

"I've seen the problems that we have in this state, and that's parties warring with each other over power issues. We talked about the same problems today as they talked about eight years ago.

Without a change in leadership,

Largent said if elected governor he would appoint a secretary of education who would improve coordination among various state entities.

Sculpture 101: UCO muscle man pumps, pulls, poses Bodybuilding combines discipline, and art

by Stephanie Nease

is creating the perfect body.

sn@thevistaonline.corn

"There's a psychological reason I'm so involved in bodybuilding," he says unselfconsciously.

"When I was 14, I got asthma and had to take steroids for four weeks. I gained 30 pounds. At that age everything matters. I had low self-esteem."

After high school he went to physical therapy school in the big city. Already a budding bodybuilder, he joined a gym. His classmates noticed his transformation.

Hiroshi Watanabe hides his 30 years behind an eight-yearold's grin and a baseball cap turned up at the bill. Until he removes his clothes.

Partially hidden under baggy threads, Hiroshi's sculpted biceps, pectorals, and thighs are fittingly compared to Michelangelo's David.

"Bodybuilding is about art.

You must be a sculptor." He calls his art a life-structuring obsession. His unmei — his destiny —

"It made me feel proud," he said, "so I became a bodybuilding freak. I've had such a wonderful life since I started bodybuilding," The Japanese bodybuilding magazines said California was the place to train. In March of 1993, with $200 American and a magazine article about Gold's Gym in his pocket, he flew to Los Angeles.

Los Angeles led to Vancouver, Wash., to study photography.

That led to UCO to study dietetics.

"I can't believe it's been 10 years. It seems like yesterday. I'll have to have a party, invite my friends."

Hiroshi is friendly, but he calls himself a loner. "I'm a private person. I like to do things by myself."

He says he has one "real" friend — the kind you call when something bad happens. They met two years ago when Hiroshi first arrived at UCO. "Mick's a bodybuilder. I went to his show in Fort Worth, Texas and I got the fever. I hadn't competed in five years and I was 220 pounds — out of shape."

He is in training for his third Oklahoma competition, the Red River Classic, Oct. 5 in Norman.

Hiroshi, a natural — steroidfree — bodybuilder, is disadvantaged in competitions like Red River that allow steroid use. But

he approaches training like he expects to win. For three months he trains and diets rigorously.

At Gold's Gym he prefers free weights. As Oct. 5 nears, severe

dieting weakens him, and he uses machines.

He bench-presses 180 pounds to work his chest and triceps.

With each push, his feet brace, thighs bulge.

sets the cable-fly to 30 pounds on each side. A crudfix, he pulls cables across his chest and back out again.

Bang. Clang. Muscles quiver.

He adds 90 pounds more.

Clunk. Clang. Vein ridges above the muscle pulsate with each repetition.

"You have to break your muscle cells. No pain, no gain." His grunts push. His groans control the return of the weight. His face twists as his biceps explode.

On the incline at 90 pounds, his mouth stretches, into a grim line. No pain, no gain. Clunk.

Clang.

Sweat glistens in the stubble of his close-cropped black hair.

Eyes closed, he may as well be in his black Speedo, oiled and ready, pumping up for the show.

"Side chest. Side triceps.

Quarter turn to your right," the familiar mantra. Stretch the muscle first, then pose.

He wraps the leather-beltand-chains around his hips, low, with the chains dangling down between his legs.

He hangs a 25-pound disc on the chains between his knees, hoists up on shoulder-high parallel bars, knees bent. Dips.

Muscles burn and beg him to stop.

Stage, lights, voice drive him.

"Double biceps. Lateral spread.

Quarter turn to your right."

Hiroshi sets the cable-fly to 30 pounds on each side. A crucifix, he pulls cables across his chest and back out again. Bang.

Clang. Muscles quiver.

"Side chest. Side triceps.

Quarter turn to your right." The voice in his head never falters.

He increases the weight to 35 pounds. Clunk. Clang. His muscles burn. He'll hurt tomorrow.

Free weights on the bench.

The 45-pound weights expand his chest. His arms are the size of hams.

Knees to his chest, he curls to sitting. His numb arms replace the 45-pound weights and lift the 35's.

"Sometimes I feel kind of guilty that I have such a wonderful life." His girl dumps him. She said he lives in the moment with no room for long-range plans.

"I have no desire to get married. What's the point? I see a family in the park playing and I think, 'It looks so nice.' I wish I could blindly, aimlessly fall in love."

"Before, it was so easy to fall in love, but now it's so hard. The older you get, the pickier you get.

Indie no more; newly signed bands play concert at UCO

by Timber Massey tm@thevistaonline.com Picture yourself clamoring to catch a glimpse of the minuscule iota, which used to be your favorite band, that you and a horde of screaming sweaty fans all paid $27.50 to see performing on stage. At this point you think to yourself, "Man, if only I could have seen them at a smaller venue before they hit it big."

Anyone who has ever had this experience, or one like it, should take advantage of the "You Saw it First Tour" from 1 to 5 p.m. Oct. 9 in the field between the cafeteria and the Communications Building.

Saundra Ptak, elementary education senior and President of the Student Programming Board, said the SPB is excited to have the concert on campus just in time for the fall program.

"It will be great way for students to take a break in the middle of the day. They can kick back, relax, and hang out with their friends while enjoying free

food and music."

The four bands performing have each been signed by a major company within the past six months.

Revis and Kazzer were both signed by Epic Records. Kill Hannah was signed by Atlantic Records. Carbondale was signed

by RCA Records.

"The concert should be of interest to just about everyone on campus because there is such a diverse group of bands performing," said SPB Advisor and Campus Life Coordinator Jarrett Jobe.

"The band styles vary from an acoustic Matchbox 20 sound to a mixture of hip-hop and Moby."

International Creative Management, a talent agency, created the "You Saw it First Tour" in order to promote up and coming artists on college campuses throughout the nation.

Admission is free and free hotdogs and drinks will be available.

For more information contact the Student Programming Board at 974-5913.

The Kaleidoscope Dance Company will team with dancers from four area universities to present ''Choreography Concert Plus!" at 8 p.m. on Oct. 11 and 12 in Mitchell Hall Theatre.

"We always benefit from performing with other universities and dance companies," said Kaleidoscope director Jamie Jacobson.

"It builds a stronger network for dance in the region while building a larger audience for contemporary dance in Oklahoma. And there is always so much to learn from each other."

The concert will feature dancers from the Modern Repertory Dance Theatre from the University of Oklahoma, the GoVertigo Dance Company from Northeastern State University, the East Central Collage from East Central University, and the Wichita Contemporary Dance Theatre from Wichita State University.

The Kaleidoscope dancers will perform eight pieces during the concert.

"Still Awakenings" is an original piece by dance junior Jessica Reimer. The piece was a finalist in the National American College Dance Festival Association corn-

petition at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. in May. The Kaleidoscope dancers will premiere original pieces by guest artists James Gregg, Rob Davidson, and Adam Parson.

"Beeline" was choreographed

by Gregg and "Moving Still" was choreographed by Davidson. The dancers learned the pieces during a summer workshop in June.

"Passion" was choreographed by Parson during a workshop in September.

"The Kaleidoscope dancers are an incredible group of kids. It is more about how they are as people rather than dancers. They never complain and they always work really hard," said jazz instructor Hui Cha Poos.

The dancers will also perform original works from several faculty members. "Something to Believe In" was choreographed by Poos. "Fall When We Must, Catch When We Can" was choreographed by modern dance instructor Tina Kambour.

"Baroque Suite" was choreographed by ballet instructor Anne Blasdel. "A Matter of Time" was choreographed by Jacobson.

The Perpetual Motion /Modern Dance Oklahoma, Inc., a dance company comprised of UCO alumni, and the "Competitive Edge," ballroom

The Bronchos entered the game ranked No. 1 in the Midwest Region with Metro State second. The contest was nip-and-tuck throughout.

Metro State got the only goal of the game, which was just the second this season against the Bronchos.

The goal came two minutes before halftime when Jenelle Brandt broke through and scored unassisted.

UCO outshot the Roadrunners 14-9, with Chelsea Holland and Joy Hagemann getting off three shots apiece for the Bronchos.

It was Metro State's goalkeeping that prevented those shots from scoring and delivered the win.

MO loses LSC game to last minute field goal

by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com The Central Oklahoma football team had something good going after winning their past two games, but on Saturday, Oct. 5 all the mistakes finally came back to haunt them.

Kicking-game mistakes have hampered UCO all season and it came back and hurt the Bronchos big time.

UCO suffered three fourthquarter special teams mistakes and Southwestern Oklahoma finally took advantage, hitting a 40-yard field goal as time expired to hand the Bronchos a stunning 24-21 Lone Star Conference North Division setback.

The loss ended UCO's twogame league winning streak and dropped the Bronchos to 2-3 on the year, 2-1 in the overall LSC standings and 0-1 in the LSC North. The Bulldogs improved to 4-1, 2-1 and 1-0.

UCO missed two field goals in the final six minutes when the game was tied 21-21, with A.J. Haglund going wide left from 30 yards out and having a 48yarder blocked with just over a minute remaining.

The Bronchos, which played another great defensive game, actually got the ball back with 45 seconds left at midfield but couldn't go anywhere and it appeared the game was heading for overtime.
