Presidents Club resist request to dissolve By Mark A. Schneberger StaffWriter
We serve an important function on campus. We're staying here. —Kim Smith Presidents Club president
A
last minute attempt by members of the UCO student government nearly succeeded in eliminating the university's Presidents Club last week—and with it, the holiday hopes of several area children. But a group vote by Presidents Club members, Sept. 1, to keep the club intact, ensured that needy tikes will get a party
they'll long remember this winter. "I think it was a vote that all members cam be proud of," said Presidents Club President Kim Smith of her group's solidarity vote. "We serve an important function on campus. We're staying here." In their first regular meeting of the 1998-99 academic year, club members were told that the UCO Student Association (UCOSA) had encouraged the group to disband. The club is made up by the presidents
and representatives of all UCO sanctioned organizations. Smith said she was approached "at the last minute" by UCOSA President Derrek Belase and Speaker Dale Archer, who told her the club was duplicating the role of one branch of student government and should be dissolved into the student senate. But disbanding the Presidents Club likely would have forced the cancellation • See PRESIDENTS CLUB, Page 4

SEX SELLS ...but not education values
R
ecently, Alpha Tau Omega posted a flyer advertising a dunk tank event. On the flyer is a female wearing a bikini. Below the female's chest and across her stomach, a statement read "Gettin em' wet at ATO!" That statement has a double meaning. It can mean a sexual suggestion or actually getting the girl wet from falling into the water dunk tank. There are companies that successfully advertise their products with sexual suggestions. Such companies include Eternity cologne, Miller Lite, and Calvin Klein. ATO used a female's body to promote an event that is affiliated with an educational institution—UCO. They did not use their accreditation's, accomplishments or their organization quality to promote it. An educational institution is not the place to advertise sexual suggestions. A negative stereotype of fraternities already exists. Many people believe that fraternities party all the time, have a lack of educational values and are egotistical. Many fraternities are having to strive to prove the stereotype wrong. ATO proved it right.

PRESIDENTS CLUB Continued from front page of a UCO tradition—an annual children's Christmas Party, said Tewfic Kidess, Presidents Club vice president. It also could have caused the cancellation of the yearly UCO club sponsor appreciation dinner, he said. "These are very big concerns for me, (regarding) dissolving the Presidents Club into the (student) senate," Kidess said. "More than anything else we do, these (events) are very important things we have to put on. The children an the sponsors deserve them." Archer was visibly disappointed by the Presidents Club's vote. Before the vote, he had urged club members to care more for the campus than they do for themselves, and to vote to disband. And he noted that a vote to remain intact could wipe out two years worth of student governmental efforts. "I know there is tradition. But think of the things for the future...not for yourselves, but for the entire campus," he said. But few Presidents Club members were swayed by Archer's words. Rather, many spoke in turn about how the club should never be disbanded. They claimed it is the only organization where leaders from all campus clubs can come together and interact without a great deal of bureaucracy. And they said it is the only club which could guarantee that the traditional children's Christmas party is held this year.
Reader suggests need for alternate column
I
've never before been ashamed of being a white, heterosexual, male Republican. To the rest of the UCO community, I would say this: (W)e're not all as extreme, nor do we express the views we hold in the bitter, hateful, downright mean way of the Vista's columnist. Thoughtful conservatism is one thing—nastiness and name-calling quite another. I am not a fan of President Clinton. I did not vote for him in 1992 or in 1996, and I think much of his personal behavior has been disgraceful. But that is beside the point. Some of the language your columnist used in his "analysis" of the situation was unnecessary to put across a point. He had an ax to grind, and boy, did he grind it! As to the Vista being a forum for the exchange of ideas, he has made a mockery of that journalistic tradition. He expresses his
ideas in ways that he knows will make people angry, and then when people disagree with him, he essentially scolds them in print in later issues of the paper. Although I do not agree with her assessment of President Clinton's record in office, I agree with the woman who wrote in to respond to the columnist. If he is really and truly interested in an exchange of ideas, maybe another column could be developed. Perhaps it could alternate issues with his, i.e. he gets a column in one issue, and a writer with a different point of view gets the next issue. That would serve the campus community and stimulate thought and discussion much more than the one-sided situation we now have. —David L. Williams Graduate student

record breaking number of UCO students don't go to a classroom or school, according to Linda Mask, director of Correspondence Studies. Rather, they go home, to the swimming pool, or wherever they can find a peaceful and quite place to learn. In the last four years, Correspondence Studies' enrollment has tripled. Over 1,500 students are currently enrolled in the program which is a division of Academic Affairs. In 1994, enrollment was 445. "The Correspondence Studies program has been on campus since World War II." But, enrollment was not recorded until 1985, Mask said. The enrollment increased because students are discovering what the program has to offer, Mask said. Jessica Naifeh, public relations major, discovered the program in 1997.
"It's a great way to get in a few hours before graduation and you get to work at your own pace," Naifeh said. At home, Naifeh completed 12 hours in correspondence courses. She is completing the final three hours of her degree with the correspondence course Police Administration. Naifeh's experience is an example of why many students have enrolled in the program. The program is designed to meet the needs of students on and off campus. Subjects range from finance to chemistry. Students study at their own pace and complete the courses independently. Also, students can enroll in correspondence courses anytime during the year, including summer, Mask said. "For the student who is serious about their education, Correspondence Studies is a viable alternative to classroom study," Mask said.

AUDITIONS UNIQUE ACTING PROJECT FOR EXPERIENCED MALE AND FEMALE ACTORS PRIMARY MALE & PRIMARY FEMALE (appearance: 20-30 year age range) ALSO NEEDED: WITNESS/FRIENDS (appearance: 17-50 year age range) EXPERT WITNESSES (appearance: 30-60 year age range) (Those in secondary roles need not be experienced actors.)
Using an improvisational approach, the primary actors will create the lives of college students making friends and then developing problems in their relationship. This will lead to a mock trial for acquaintance sexual assault which will be presented from 10 a.m. to noon on Wednesday, October 28 in Constitution Hall as a feature of Alcohol Prevention Week sponsored by COSAFE and the UCO Counseling Services. It will be open to all students and the public. The other actors will develop characters to fit the plot as it grows. This is an unusual opportunity to develop your skills in character building and plot development through improvisation. There is no script to learn. You will build your own text in the six weeks development of the storyline. Parts of the development of the story and all of the trial will be videotaped. There is no salary, but a copy of the video will be yours. Development sessions (about two a week) will be scheduled to fit the free time of the actors. You will be totally free to accept roles at the UCO theater. You will be working with Kate Hammett Leader, a well-known OKC director who also has masters degrees in psychology and counseling. If you have questions about the process to be used, contact Kate at 751-2032. The actors must be open and natural, intelligent and inventive. Because the material deals with sensitive relationship issues, the actors will need to be stable in their own personal feelings about sexual assault and self-confident in their skill at role play, visualization and sensory recall. Casting will begin with a simple "get-to-know-you" chat about your acting experience and favorite acting styles. To actors and others: we would like to hear your ideas on the topic of relationship misunderstandings that might lead to date rape, and how they might be prevented. You can call or write Kate Leader or Jan Chapel at Counseling Services on the 3rd Floor of the University Center (974-2215) for further information or to set up a meeting. Bring a copy of your projected fall schedule, if possible. Interviews: August 31 September 11 -

Intercollegiate scholarships offer credit hours By Julie Jordan Sts IMI&
I
f you are a junior or a senior looking for a few credit hours you might want to consider the Oklahoma Scholar-Leadership Enrichment Program (OSLEP), an intercollegiate program sponsored by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. Through OSLEP, a student with a 3.0 GPA or better can receive two or three credit hours by attending a seminar for five
days. Applications are available through Dr. Diane Kremm, the OSLEP campus coordinator and professor of history and geography at UCO. Applications must provide three recommendations from teachers and a transcript. This is the first semester Kremm has been campus coordinator and she recommends students apply now for the October seminar being held on the OU campus. "I would like to have at least one seminar on our campus,"
Kremm said. Eight weeks before the date of the seminar a letter is sent out to the students selected. The student then enrolls at OU, or the university hosting the seminar, and the credit hours are transferred upon completion. "I've never heard a negative comment from a student who attended," Kremm said. The topics of the seminars are important issues of our times, such as "Protecting Human Health-Government Regulation of Drugs and Tobacco," taught by David
Kessler, dean of Yale School of Medicine, and former commissioner of the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. This seminar will be held April 7-11, 1999. Assignments for the seminars vary, but usually include readings, questions to be submitted at the first class period and at least one paper. "You get concentrated, specific or specialized information from the scholar," said Linda Wilson, a UCO student who attended a February seminar.
The scholars come from around the country to teach the seminars. "They are very well known people in their field, with a broad appeal to more than one discipline," Kremm said. Some students have kept in touch with their scholar and have even done graduate work with them, Kremm said. The cost of the seminar is $150 for two credit hours or $225 for three credit hours. Scholarship money is available. Books, meals and housing are provided at no extra cost. -4(

FDA approves morning-after pill By Katie Hawk SloffWritir
T
o prevent pregnancy, female students can take emergency contraceptive pills available by prescription in the Student Health Center. The emergency contraceptive pill was approved by the Food and Drug Administration, Sept. 2, reported the Associated Press. The approval allows a pharmaceutical company to advertise and sell the pills. "The pills have been available for a long time. They are a strong dose of birth control pills," said LaBetta Wallenmyer, Student Health Center director. These pills are for emergency use only, said Dr. Jennifer Nelson, M.D., of the Oklahoma City Renaissance Women's Hospital. "The pills are for protected intercourse, for females using normal birth control, but they have a
failure such as missing a few days worth of birth control pills or a broken condom." The purpose of the pills is to be certain that pregnancy does not occur, Nelson said. "We want our patients to be on birth control pills in the first place or use a condom," Wallenmyer said. The Associated Press reported that the emergency contraceptive pill, also known as the morning-after pill, contains estrogen and progestin hormones. The pills are 75 percent effective if taken within 72 hours after intercourse. The pills disrupt a woman's menstrual cycle by preventing the egg from being implanted in the uterus. Side-effects include nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, and breast tenderness, but no long-term side-effects have been found. "Hopefully the pills will cut down on unplanned pregnancies and termination," Nelson said. For more information, visit the Student Health Center between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. A doctor's appointment costs $10 and the prescription costs $20.

Researchers predict pill that could pump up muscles By Ronald Kotulak and Jon Van Dight-RldderNewspaars
cience may be on the verge of discovering a pill that has an effect on muscles that is similar to exercise. Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas have found what appears to be a genetic switch that tells muscles how to behave. People who jog, bicycle, swim and do push-ups may activate this switch to good effect and it may also be possible to get those same effects by ingesting certain chemicals. People who suffer from congestive heart failure, for example, could regain endurance in their heart muscle and perhaps restore more normal performance. "We believe this pathway provides a molecular explanation for the important effects of aerobic exercise in increasing physical endurance and reducing risk for cardiovascular disease," said Dr. R. Sanders Williams, chief of cardiology, who led the UT research team. "When people go jogging, molecular events happen in the muscles they are exercising that both enhance their capability to exercise further and improve their health. "We have shown both in cultured cells and in animals that there is a signaling pathway we can modify to stimulate or reverse what exercise does naturally. "We believe it is possible to design a drug that would have this effect."

Drinking games result in forfeit

CO students experienced the unpleasant taste of expired Pepsi last week, raising questions about whether it's safe to buy pop from vending machines. Students, concerned about their health, reported the incidents to The Vista. Inquiry on the matter revealed that it might have been a mere oversight on the part of vendors. A.K. Rahman, director of Auxiliary Services, told The Vista that the matter would be immediately dealt with, and all vending machines would be changed with new pop.

ALFRED, NY (CPX) - Alfred University's president ordered the forfeiture of the school's first football game of the season after learning about a recent weekend party in which upperclassmen on the team allegedly tied up freshman players and forced them to drink alcohol or water until they vomited. Five players on the team were arrested on several charges connected to the incident, including giving alcohol to minors. School officials said paramedics treated five students who had attended the party for alcohol poisoning. Two of the five, ages 17 and 18, were taken to a local hospital and released. President Edward G. Coll, Jr., had considered calling off the university's entire football season but instead decided that the six players thought to be responsible for the party— including the team's co-captains—should be suspended from the team for the rest of the season. One player, on probation for another unrelated violation, was expelled. The university also is requiring the remaining 89 players on the team, 47 of whom are freshmen, to attend classes on substance abuse awareness. "The measures we are announcing will be called harsh by some," Coll said in a written statement. "But I assure you their severity pales in comparison to the tragedy that could have occurred this past weekend. I wanted our football team to know that we will not tolerate this kind of behavior." —By College Press Services

Students attend New Orleans faith celebration By Darrell J. Weidner StaffWrif
Twenty-five members of the UCO Baptist Collegiate Ministry at the Baptist Student Union (BCM\BSU) traveled to New Orleans over the weekend to attend the National Cross Seekers rally at the New Orleans Convention Center. The 22 students, and 3 sponsors, joined 9,000 others in the Celebration of the Covenant. The Cross Seekers is a group of Christian students and adults who have chosen to make a covenant to live a life of integrity.
"The covenant is a promise, one made with God, that the student makes to accept the challenge and change their own lives," said Dr. Charles Lillard, BCM/BSU director. "We got the idea to go after we received publicity about it and after we went to the state one," Lillard said. All the events were sponsored by Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) and the National Student Ministries. The Cross Seekers took part in general sessions that were punctuated by keynote speakers.

Continued from Page 12 Among them was Ann Graham Lotz, the daughter of evangelist Rev. Billy Graham. "I have had the honor of seeing her father speak, and I think that she will continue to influence others the way her father has," Lillard said. On Friday night, Lotz challenged students to live a life of integrity in a world that says it is OK to do things like cheating on a test and small things that only they know about. It is important for people to have a character that is thought well of, and not to be just a character, Lotz said.

Also among the speakers was David Edwards. Edwards, a graduate of Oklahoma City University, challenged the Cross Seekers to accept the covenant. When the students make the covenant they agree to try: • To be a person of integrity • To pursue a consistent spiritual growth • To live a relevant, authentic, consistent witness • To seek opportunities to serve in Christ's name • To keep their body as the temple of the Lord, to dedicate it to a life of purity

• To be godly in all things and to be Christlike in all relationships The speakers of the conference also held small group sessions on how to keep the covenant. In his session, Edwards focused on how to keep Christ-like in relationships. He offered solutions on how to be friends, and not give into pressure. "Surround yourself with people that will hold you accountable, and when you do have a friend that is trying to talk you into something, talk with him and tell him why you don't want to do it," Edwards said.

"If he persists take him out of your group of intimate friends, he is not worth risking the most important friendship—the one with Christ," Edwards said. "I was encouraged by the small bible study and covenant group that spoke of what they have done to keep each other out of trouble," Lillard said. "If students would accept the covenant to live a radical Christian life, we could see major changes on our campuses." There were about 3,600 students to accept the covenant over the weekend, Lillard said.<

financial companies charge operating fees and expenses—some more than others. Of course, the lower the expenses you pay, the better. That way, more of your money goes where it should—towards building a comfortable future.
We make low expenses a top priority. As the largest retirement system in the world' —a nonprofit company focused exclusively on the financial needs of the educational and research communities — our expenses are among the lowest in the insurance and mutual fund industries.' In fact, TIAA-CREF's 0.31% average fund expenses are less than half of the expense charges of comparable funds.' It's why Morningstar— one of the nation's leading sources of annuity and mutual fund information — says, "At that level [TIAA - CREF] is cheaper than any other
[variable annuity] policy, and is even competitive with the cheapest mutual fund complexes, though it offers far more benefits."'
"TIAA-CREF sets the standard in the financial services industry." Of course, expenses are only one factor to consider when you make an investment decision. Morningstar also noted our commitment to "consumer education, service" and "solid investment performance." Because that can make a difference in the long run, too.

film set during the tail end of the 1950's, stars Ian Michael Smith as Simon Birch—a big mouthed short bodied child who feels God has plans of making him a big hero. He's not sure how he'll fulfill his larger-than-life dream, since he has to stand on three encyclopedias to reach the doorknob. But he has unbreakable faith nonetheless. Simon's character is a cross between a muppet and that little boy from down the street you'd love to take out to the barn and smack with a birch branch. He's mouthy, irreverent but huggable. The film also stars Joseph Mazzello as Joe, the only person in the Christian town who can see Simon's lovable side. But Joe has a mission of his own—he wants to find his father. Sound simple enough? The movie's plot is far from it.
The film is chaotic and splintered, with Simon hitting a foul ball in a baseball game which kills Joe's mother (the Snow White-like Ashley Judd), followed by a full-contact, vomit-filled Christmas Pageant. It also includes a spine chilling bus ride into an icy river and a tear-jerker climax. It's simply too confusing to enjoy. And the parts which are easily understood, make you wish they weren't.
Most scenes—such as when Simon and Joe break into their school to search for a baseball, and when they swim in the local pond—are far too homespun. Imagine Norman Rockwell on Extacy. The rest are just quirky, cut and paste excerpts from the Novel "A Prayer for Owen Meany" The acting in Simon Birch is just as bad. Smith gives a pancake-flat performance throughout, and relies too heavily on his doll-like stature to make his character endurable. Similarly, Mazzello's acting is forced during much of the film, except for a surprisingly emotional death scene. And Joe's substitute father, Ben, (Oliver Platt) actually seems to read his lines when he speaks.
Only Agnes, the chainsmoking, oversexed Sunday school teacher is convincing. Unfortunately, she regularly steals the thunder from the more serious actors. Simon Birch is a must see for folks who thought kiddie film The Littles was great. Everyone else should wait for video.

If you're driving an American made car you may soon be able to eat the shock absorbers and stay alive, according to Men's Fitness magazine. Auto makers have been researching the uses of the creamy

And when the electric charge is turned off, it reverts to a fluid. In a shock absorber, the chocolate would allow the car's suspension to adapt instantly to the road, and allow for a smoother ride, auto makers believe However, they aren't saying how they might market a car with chocolate shocks.

However, for UCO art students, painting murals in the midday sun in Kingfisher, Okla., was their idea of weekend thrills. Dr. Bob Palmer, chairman of the department of Art and Design, and three of his selected students, had undertaken this project for the City of Kingfisher. Sponsored by the Kingfisher City Chamber of Commerce, Palmer and the students have already completed three murals on various buildings across town. "Each mural bears a historical significance to the town. Everything we've done has to do with their heritage," Palmer said. The project is as much a community effort as it is a learning

It actually united the community," said Bryan Ellison, one of the three student painters. "It's all about community and the sheer thrill of art," said art student Clint Stone. The subject of one of the earlier murals features scenes of Kingfisher, from the early 20s and 30s. A second mural represents the Chisholm Trail. Another, painted at the Kingfisher train depot, has a picture of a train painted on it. "Everything has been researched, and the images you see have some historical value," Palmer said. All images were provided by the city museum. The pictures are first made into transparencies and projected on the walls. Students then trace them onto the walls and start filling in the paint.

Four game split By Darrell J. Weidner sorts Willer
The Central Oklahoma Bronchos volleyball squad split four matches at the Missouri Southern/Mr. Goodcents Volleyball Classic last weekend in Joplin, Mo. The Bronchos ended the tourney winning two matches. On Friday, the Bronchos lost their first match of the tournament when they were defeated by Rockhurst in three games (13-15, 5-15, 3-15). Even though the Bronchos lost, Karyn Posey earned 13 digs to lead Central Oklahoma's defense. The Bronchos offense was lead by Dee Goble with seven kills. The Bronchos lost their second match of the day when they fell to Lone Star Conference opponent Abilene Christian. Abilene Christian downed the Bronchos in three games (15-11, 15-9,15-4).
On Saturday, the Bronchos rebounded from their earlier losses when they won both matches of the day. The Bronchos took the first match against Missouri Southern in four games (15-13, 13-15, 153, 15-5). The Bronchos offense was spurred by Karyn Posey who forced 14 kills. Arwin Ray lead UCO's defense with 12 digs and 46 assists. Central Oklahoma took their final match of the tournament when they defeated Henderson State in three games (10-15, 715, 13-15). Karyn Posey lead the Broncho defense with 18 digs, while Arwin Ray earned 41 assists. Adriana Crovador lead the Central Oklahoma offense with 16 kills. The Broncho's two victories brings their season record to 6-3. The Bronchos will try to build on the win column when they travel to Winter Park, Florida to compete in the Rollens Classic this weekend. -4(

Opener gets Notre Dame's Irish up By Mark Whicker
College Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Some preseason Top 25s included Wake Forest. Not all included Notre Dame. The Infighting Irish were plagued with age discrimination suits and a feud between excoach Lou Holtz and current coach Bob Davie, and the team was coming off a loss in the Independence Bowl, when just an appearance there was humiliating enough. "You found out who your friends were," recalled Brad Williams, the Mater Dei-bred defensive tackle. "You heard a lot of talk about what Notre Dame had become, but I knew we'd worked too hard to let it stay there." The secret burst out in the second half here Saturday, in the nation's capital of redemption. Notre Dame brutalized Michigan; the big, bad defending national champion, and set up a No.1 run of its own. The final was 36-20 - most
points ever for Notre Dame against Michigan, most points yielded by Michigan since Florida State ran up 51 in 1991. Last year's Michigan opponents averaged just under 90 rushing yards. Notre Dame, with option quarterback Jarious Jackson sprouting like a sunflower, rolled up 280. "I remember losing at Stanford last year, losing to USC here, walking off the field after the bowl loss (27-6 to LSU)," Williams said. "We were 2-5 at one point. The difference this year was that the guys showed up excited for our conditioning program, excited to get started again. There were a lot of things that we would never let happen again." The dimensions of the U-turn were unforeseen. In the first half, Michigan pushed around the fish like beanbag chairs. It ran 30 plays in the first quarter. Notre Dame ran six. New Michigan quarterback Tom Brady was poised and precise, and a conga line of running backs (briefly
•:... Are You ••. Sick And Tired of Feeling Sick And Tired?
including Encino freshman Justin Fargas) met little resistance... Until third down. Williams and his defense, refreshed by mass substitutions, forced four Michigan field-goal tries, two of which went wide. The 13-6 Michigan halftime lead wasn't worth a ruble. In the second half, Jackson began attacking the Michigan corners, and leaks sprung everywhere. It didn't help that linebacker Sam Sword came off with dehydration, but eight other starters from last year's Rose Bowl defense were back. But didn't Autry Denson cut back for 58 yards on Notre Dame's first play? That was 5 yards longer than the longest run Michigan permitted in '97. "On TV they were saying we made great halftime adjustments," shrugged Notre Dame offensive coordinator Jim Colletto, who used to run a potent veer at Cal State Fullerton, "and all we did was put two pictures on the board. But our option is something you have to take into

account. We react to what you're doing, and the scheme doesn't allow you to rush our passer." Jackson wasn't sacked once. He threw erratically in the first half and botched a goal-line snap count that forced a Notre Dame field goal, but in the second half he settled. And not just for field goals. Stumbling from under center, he sensed a safety blitz and speared the solitary Raki Nelson with a 35-yard touchdown pass. That followed a go-ahead score to Dan O'Leary. "I was amazed at that play," said Jackson, a senior from Tupelo, Miss. who ran one series in every game last year while Ron Powlus took a breather. "I never know what I'm going to do on the field sometimes." Jackson ran for 72 second-half yards and hit three of four passes. Denson, in the midst of a 162yard day, needed little else. "This jump-starts us. It boosts us a little bit. We had invested so much, sacrificed so much. We were in such good shape physically that I wanted it to be
hot out there, and it was." The offseason torture chamber was supervised by new conditioning coach Mickey Marotti. One of the highlights was a van that the players, once they were good and exhausted, had to push around the field with another staff member sitting behind the wheel and sometimes standing on the brake. When the players saw the brake lights, they got angry. The sight of the winged Michigan helmet angered them, too. Early results from around the country seem to place Notre Dame well into the Top 25. (The same can't be said of Wake Forest.) If they keep improving, the Irish seem endangered by only Arizona State, LSU and USC. "You keep saying that if we do this, this and this, we'll win," Davie said candidly. "But we all know what this business it's like at some point, you better step up and win a big football game."Notre Dame didn't just step up Saturday. It ascended. <

T
he Central Oklahoma Bronchos opened the 1998 football season with a victory over the Northwestern Rangers on Saturday. The Rangers fell to Central Oklahoma with a score of 3-0. The three points came in the first quarter of the game when place kicker Ronnie Gulikers made a 47 yard field goal. The kick came with just 3:33 left in the quarter. Both teams were held scoreless for the rest of the game. The Rangers' offense gained a total of 313 yards compared to the Bronchos 124 yards total offense. The Rangers made it within Central Oklahomas' 10 yard line twice, but the Bronchos defense was able to contain them. Central Oklahoma punter David Simpson was named the Lone Star Conference-North Division defensive player of the week for his efforts against Northwestern. The Yukon senior punted the Bronchos out of poor field position several times.
Simpson made punts up to 58 yards giving the Bronchos defense room to work. "There is no question that David's punting was a big factor in the football game," said Central Oklahoma head coach Gary Howard. "He came up with some big punts in critical situations throughout the game to help us with field position," said Howard. "We were fortunate David performed the way he did." The Rangers were able to return only three of Simpson's kicks. The Bronchos will try and build on the season record when they return to Wantland Stadium to start a two game homestand. The first game will be Saturday when the Bronchos face the six-time defending LSC champions Texas A&MKingsville. Kingsville, of the LSC-South Division, enters the game with a 16-6 loss to North Dakota State in Fargo, N. D., last Thursday. The crossover game will count in the Lone Star Conference standings, but it will not count for either Divisions championship. The other game of the homestand will be Sept. 19, against Abilene Christian. <

Cross country competes Saturday Central Oklahoma makes the short trip to Oklahoma City Saturday to compete in the Oklahoma Christian Invitational and open the 1998 cross country season. Both UCO teams will be in action, with the 5,000-meter women's race to start at 10 a.m. on the OC campus and the men's 8,000-meter event to begin at approximately 10:30 a.m. The Bronchos have three starters back from last year, sophomores Jason Dormeyr, Seth Hawkins and junior Jared
Lovet. All three gained valuable experience last year as freshmen and should be much improved this season. Lovett had a pair of top-15 placings last year to lead the trio. UCO's women return three starters from the 1997 squad, led by senior standout Andrea Haley. Haley will be in her fourth year as a starter for the Bronchos and is coming off a junior season that saw her place in the top 20 four times, toppped by a pair of eighth-place finishes. Other starters back for UCO
are juniors Lacy Amen and Jenny Thompson. Thompson had three top 20 placings last year, including two ninth-place efforts, while Amen had three top 25 finishes. Long-time head coach Paul Parent is in his 20th season as the men's cross country coach and his 13th at the helm of the women's program. He's also the men's and women's track and field coach. —By UCO Sports Information

Chasing dollars, or the $250,000 home run By David A. Markiewicz COMP Press
FORT WORTH - In the quest to acquire 62nd home-run memorabilia, John Ralph figures the Baseball Hall of Fame has an edge. "We may not have a checkbook, but we feel we have history and tradition on our side," said Ralph, a former Texas Rangers public relations official who serves as a spokesman for the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. That might be enough to land the Hall the bat, the uniform and the cap of the next home-run king; indications are both Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire are inclined to donate those items to baseball's shrine, free of charge. Make no mistake, though: Money - not history and tradition - is what's driving the chase behind The Chase. Not just the chase for memorabilia like the 62nd home-run ball, either, although a startling $250,000 reward already has been offered for the magic Rawlings. An anonymous donor has offered $1 million. There's also the chase for bleacher tickets to September
games featuring McGwire and Sosa; the chase by rival television networks to show the climactic dinger live; the chase by corporations to sign Sosa and McGwire to endorsement deals and to tie their products to the big moment; and the chase to buy No. 25 Cardinals and No. 21 Cubs jerseys as well as commemorative T-shirts and plaques before stocks of souvenirs are depleted. At the center of the chase is The Ball. Unless there is a higher bidder, it could end up in the hands of Kent Lillie, president and chief executive officer of the Shop at Home network.(at)subhead:Pre-emptive bidLillie's the one who hung the $250,000 price tag on The Ball. "We're the third-largest, second-oldest, fastest-growing home shopping network," Lillie said, explaining his bid. "What differentiates us is that we sell primarily to men and we sell lots of sports collectibles." No. 62, Lillie adds, would be a great promotional tool for his network, which isn't as well known as the bigger QVC and Home Shopping Network. Know this, though: Lillie's heart is pure. He plans to donate
the ball to the hall, after the marketing benefits have been exhausted. Why $250,000? "We tried to put out a preemptive bid," Lillie explained. The possibility of an auction of the 62nd home run ball has been mentioned, but Brian Marren, business manager for Mastro Fine Sports Auction in Oak Brook, Ill., said, "I know we wouldn't get $250,000 for it in the \Rauction\S catalogue. It just seems like a lot for modern-day memorabilia." Then again, Eddie Murray's 500th home run ball sold to a fan for $500,000, and a 500th career home run isn't as rare as the 62nd of a season. Marren did say, however, that memorabilia related to the homerun chase is going for a far richer sum than he expected. "We got almost $3,000 for one of McGwire's bats in a July auction, one he used in a game a few years ago," Marren said. "About a year ago it would've gone for $300 or $400." Corporations are well aware of the commercial value of The Chase. "In June, we saw a great opportunity with the home run
HOUSE
countdown to connect with the fans," said Pepsi spokesman Jon Harris. "Everyone is buzzing about this right now. Will McGwire do it? Will Sosa do it?" Companies are also trying to position themselves to ink Sosa and/or McGwire for testimonials after the season, should one or the other break Roger Maris' record. For now, both have chosen to concentrate on their play. "We'd like to do something with him," said Nike spokeswoman Robin Carr-Locke when asked about rumors of interest in McGwire. "But we're not speaking with him right now. From what we hear, he doesn't want any distractions. We all agreed to wait until the end of the season." While neither McGwire nor Sosa plans to capitalize financially on the sale of their playing uniforms or equipment, they do stand to benefit from future endorsement opportunities. Sports marketing analysts estimate that a national advertising contract could bring a mid-to-high six-figures deal for the man who breaks the record. Local deals should fetch up to $100,000 each.(at)subhead:Made
for TVThe two TV networks that show baseball in the regular season, Fox and ESPN, are also hoping to get in on the promotional action behind No. 62 by airing the record-breaking shot live and exclusive. Both networks have added games featuring the Cardinals and Cubs to their September schedules in anticipation of capturing the moment. KDFW/Channel 4, the local Fox affiliate, plans to cut away from Sunday's Cowboys NFL season-opener to televise McGwire's at-bats against Cincinnati. "We're going to be as aggressive as we can be," countered ESPN spokeswoman Diane Lamb. Anyone who questions how many people will be watching The Chase on TV needs only look at the impact on ticket sales for games in which McGwire and Sosa are scheduled to play. In Houston, the Astros have nearly sold out their series against St. Louis next weekend. Ticket sales also are strong for the Sept. 25-27 series against Chicago at the Astrodome, even though No. 62 should be a done deal by then. <

Bowls will bring real No. 1 into focus By Dick Rockne Collage Paws SEATTLE - Verbally or otherwise abusing voters in college football polls is a little less likely this year. Don't expect a columnist from one of the area's leading newspapers to encourage fans to fax poll voters with suggestions on how their ballots should look. And for those who enjoy radio broadcasts of scripted games, the upcoming season could be a bummer. It all happened in Seattle in 1991, when the Washington Huskies and Miami Hurricanes were locked in a season-long battle for the national championship. But the probability of that happening again is slim because of the latest device - the Bowl Championship Series - majorcollege football leaders adopted to select a national champion without resorting to a playoff. Instead of having one or two poll champions, the teams
emerging Nos. 1 and 2 under the BCS system will play the national title Jan. 4 in the Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, Ariz. Had the BCS been in place in 1991, Miami and Washington would have played each other (see box) with the national championship at stake, because they would have finished the regular season as the top two teams under terms of the BCS system. The new system has four components: (1) an average of the Associated Press (writers) and coaches polls; (2) an average of three computer rankings, including The Seattle Times', (3) strength of schedule; and (4) losses. The system has attracted mixed reviews. Tom Hansen, Pac-10 Conference commissioner, said he likes it because it will "thwart a playoff' and thus maintain the bowl system with "anchor" teams in the Rose (Pac-10 and Big Ten: champions when they aren't ranked No. 1 or No. 2), Orange
(Atlantic Coast and Big East), Sugar (Southeastern) and Fiesta (Big 12). The system, Hansen said, is "excellent" because it incorporates three computer rankings, two polls and a strength-of-schedule variable. Critics contend the system is too complicated to be interesting and is merely an extension of the alliance-type systems supplanted by the BCS. A big difference is that the Pac-10 and Big Ten are participants, which they weren't under past systems. Here's how the BCS system will work: —Polls: The rankings of each team will be added and divided by two. For example, a team ranked No. 1 in one poll and No. 2 in the other would receive 1.5 points. —Computer rankings: An average of three computer rankings (Sagarin, The New York -Times and The Seattle Times) will be taken, with a 50-percent adjusted deviation factor included
in case of major differences. For example, if a team is ranked No. 3 and No. 5 on two computers and 12th on the other, the highest ranking of No. 12 would be adjusted to No. 6 before calculating the points. In this scenario, the team would get 4.67 points (three plus five plus six, divided by three). —Strength of schedule: This will be calculated by determining the cumulative won-lost record of the teams' opponents and the cumulative record of the opponents' opponents. The formula will be weighted: two-thirds for the opponents' record and one-third for the opponents' opponents record. When all the calculations are complete, the number is divided by 25. For example, if a team's schedule-strength rating is 28th, that team would receive 1.12 points. —Team record: Each loss will represent one point. All games are counted, including Kickoff and Pigskin
classics and conference title games. Miami and Washington shared the 1991 national championship Miami by finishing first in the AP poll; Washington by being No. 1 in the USA Today/CNN coaches poll. But before the issue was settled, strange things happened. When the reporter who had the western Washington vote in the AP poll said publicly in midseason that he "flipped a coin" to determine which team would receive his No. 1 vote, it was not taken lightly by Husky fans. In publishing fax numbers of poll voters around the country, a newspaper columnist might have generated a backlash against the Huskies. Some voters said they didn't appreciate getting all those faxes from Husky fans. And guess who won the mythical game, broadcast by a Seattle sports-talk radio station? You guessed it - the Huskies beat the Hurricanes.

Don't blame the system for parental moral apathy
Ones-self I sing, a simple separate person Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-A . Wall; Whitman
M
orality seemed to be a big issue on campus Tuesday night. While seeking out new voices for this column, I found two students who both said they'd take up the issue of morality if they were to start a grassroots movement to change society. Anne Phillips is 56 years old and the grandmother of six and a half grandchildren (one's still awaiting birth). Celie Rabalais is only 41. Both women are majoring in professional writing; Anne is a senior and Celie is a junior. Anne and Celie agreed that morality should start at home, but their opinions differed on the methods that should be used for the teaching. "My mother always said, 'No child ever died of a broken ass, but some have died for a lack of one,â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Celie said. Anne was of the opinion that talking and teaching by example would be the better method. "My father spoiled me," Anne said. "He was always honest and fair with me." Unfortunately, not everyone is like Anne's father. Both women
soon turned on President Clinton as a prime example of morality gone bad. They agreed that the scandals surrounding Clinton, and his treatment of them, are setting a bad example for the youth of America. "It's like it's okay to lie," Anne said. "It's not if you steal or lie that's wrong. It's if you get caught." But the president wasn't the only person these two blamed for the current lack of morals. "Parents have gotten lax," Celie said. "Buying your 15-year-old girl birth control pills, or taking your 12-year-old boy to buy condoms, is saying it's OK to have sex. "Parents don't want to parent. They want to be buddies. They don't want their kids to hate them," she said. Anne agreed. "We've lost the ability to say no," she said. "We want our children to have everything we didn't have." That willingness to give in to children has caused a lot of the immorality problem, according to Anne and Celie. "Our young people don't take responsibility for their actions,"
Anne said. "We always give them some excuse. We say they were deprived, or abused or something and that's why they did what they did." Celie said, "It's easier to make an excuse than to face reality." One thing children have to be taught, according to Anne and Celie, is how to say "No." Learning that word is the first step back to being moral. "Teach kids to say no and keep their bodies private," Anne said. "Males and females are on a more equal level today, but some women still teach their daughters to be subservient. By teaching children that they do have control, they'll grow up to know they don't have to acquiescence to someone with power."
Anne and Celie went several minutes without a jab at the president. It was time for another poke. "I don't think Monica Lewinsky knew what she was getting into," Anne said. "It goes back to taking responsibility for your actions?' Celie said Clinton, and many other public officials, are, "just totally corrupt." She didn't stop there. "They think it's OK to do what they want and use their office to hide it. The public should demand that public officials take responsibility for their actions?' Anne had a prediction. "Someone will write a book about Clinton saying he was treated thus as a child and that's why he acts the way he does. They'll try to take the blame off him."
But what about teaching morality to kids, despite the presidential example? Anne said she would like to see more classes in the schools where children are taught that their bodies are their own and it's good to say no. She added that just learning when and how to say no are also important steps. Like Celie, Anne believes morality must start somewhere other than the classroom. "It has to start from the bottomâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from the roots" she said. "If it doesn't, it won't grow straight and true." If Clinton thought Kenneth Starr was harsh, he better hope he's never interrogated by these ladies. And God help him if he tries to blame his mommy for his problems.

Ryan sacrifice still in question
C
onfetti and spittle. Both have been used to welcome American troops home from
combat. I recently watched Steven Spielberg's movie, Saving Private Ryan. It was a humbling, moving experience that left me feeling awed and disoriented. We had to drive to Enid, about a 90mile trip, so we'd use a set of grandparents as babysitter for the kids. Within minutes of having left my
parents' house, my wife and I had sunk into an old man's eyes and were experiencing D-Day on the beach of Normandy. Were the scenes technically accurate? Was the costuming perfectly authentic? Did the correct number of men die? I don't know. It doesn't matter. The effect was real. The lump that came to my throat and stayed there for nearly three hours was real. The tears and the silence of the small audience were all real. If you haven't seen the movie, I'm sorry, but I'm going to ruin it for you— Private Ryan is saved and gets to go home. However, very few of the eight men who set out to rescue him live to the end of the film. In the end, Ryan, an old man, questions whether his life was worth the sacrifice of those men who fought through Nazi-occupied France to save him. Was it? Was the sacrifice of real American soldiers in World War II worth the freedom we have today? What about the sacrifice of other soldiers in other wars? What about those men who fought and died in Vietnam? They were often called babykillers and spit on when they returned from a tour of duty where they risked their lives defending freedom. Since its discovery by white Europeans, America has been the pearl

of the world. Everyone wants what we have—the natural resources, the freedom, the intangibles that make America great. Adolf Hitler, wanted it. A new collection of World War II artifacts were put on display in New York last month. The artifacts include items the Russians took from the bunker where Hitler died. One of those items is a globe decorated with swastikas and German writing in Hitler's own hand. Over Russia are the words, "I am coming." Over the United States are the words, "I will be there soon." Think of that the next time you meet a veteran. I thought of it as we drove from the
Lipplebees,
theater to my parents' home. We drove past schools and through neighborhoods that had never known the sound of an exploding bomb or a screaming war plane. We drove home on a highway surrounded by fields that have never felt the imprint of a tank's tread. We drove by minivans filled with children who did not know the pangs of hunger or the shock of seeing their parents led away, naked and emaciated, to a gas chamber. I came home with a heavy heart, but I came home knowing I am free today because of American veterans. To the American veterans who went to foreign soil to protect America's freedom and restore someone else's, thank you all.

Skills toward master's offered in food nutrition study By Madhumathi Krishnamurthy StiffWtihfir
U
CO College of Education received a 10 year accreditation for its Nutrition and Dietetic Internship Program, said Valerie Knotts, professor of nutrition and food management. The ten-year-old dietetic internship program recently received recognition by the Commission on Accreditation of Dietetic Education, part of the American Dietetic Association. After students graduate with a bachelor's degree, the internship is offered as part of their master's program. The undergraduate program prepares students for work in the field of nutrition and dietetics.
During the master's internship, they get the required practical experience, Knotts said. Part of the student's coursework includes completing 1,020 hours in a variety of assignments in hospitals, nursing homes, retirement centers, the Edmond school district, and the Children's Center in Bethany. "We've had an excellent response to this program, and now we are accredited to take 18 students," Knotts said. Students that are selected must go through a national matching program. They have to meet the admission requirement, which is a minimum 3.0 GPA in the last 60 hours, and a combined score of 1300 on the GRE. Duration of the program is one
year. After finishing their internship, students will be eligible to take the national examination to become a registered dietitian. "The program has evolved over the years, as we have increased our admission requirements and expanded learning opportunities," Knotts said. Currently, the department has a 100 percent pass rate, with about 100 students in both the undergraduate and graduate programs.

Faculty, students display research Sept. 11 By Mark A. Schneberger StaffWilla
Cl tudents and faculty who can't wait to know the latest hot topics from the areas of business, The sciences, education and humanities may faculty do much get their fill on better teaching when Friday. they are involved in - They'll be able to research. lt keeps view the most recent them (abreast) of the research done by professors and latest development students Sept. 11, in all areas. when UCO's Faculty Research —Dr. Narasinga Rao Department hosts Research dept. director the 1998 University Research Colloquium. Held 8 a.m.-3 p.m. in the
University Center Ballrooms A and B, more than 70 faculty and students will showcase the results of a year's worth of research done by the four UCO colleges. Everyone is welcome to attend. Dr. S. Narasinga Rao, research department director, said the colloquium is an event which proves that university-conducted research fosters learning. "The faculty do much better teaching when they are involved in research. It keeps them (abreast) of the latest development in all areas. "They then bring those findings back to the classroom," he said. "Students are the ones who benefit by the faculty research. They would suffer if there was none done." Each year, faculty and students are awarded grants by UCO to conduct studies relevant to their specific fields
and majors. This year more students than ever took advantage of the funding, and "their research findings are exciting," Rao said. "I am so pleased about this colloquium this year. This is great work," he said. In 1996, Rao established a fund with the UCO foundation from donations by friends and Dr. Herbert Hauptman—a former professor of Raon and Noble Prize winner. This fund made possible the Hauptman fellowships. Faculty received the awards in the first 2 years, and starting this year, students are included as well. Hauptman fellowships will be awarded to the most impressive students and staff research project. Winners will receive a Hauptman Fellowship pin, They will also be
given a certificate of accomplishment. The awards will be presented at 1:30 p.m. with a reception following. "I initiated this part of the Colloquium to help recognize the faculty and students for their work," Rao said. "They need to have some encouragement and incentives so they'll continue." Rao said he is also excited about the amount of external funds faculty and students have been able to obtain. He said last year $510,000 was awarded from grant competitions outside the university. In the first two months of this fiscal year, off-campus funding has topped $400,000 and is expected to climb to about $1 million by Dec. He said the additional funding should encourage greater interest in research next year.
Roommate rules: Set expectations early for residential bliss By Christine Tatum
CatiegePtessaciunge o, your beer-swilling roommate has yacked on the front porch almost as much as her cat has hacked on the living room rug - and somehow you've gotten stuck cleaning up the mess. Then there's the hairy soap she leaves in the tub and the dirty dishes she piles into the sink. Still worse are those ear-splitting, nocturnal noises coming from her bedroom when her food-mooching boyfriend spends the night—six times a week. Welcome to the world of co-habitation, your own personal hell.

Hashing out your differences before trouble starts—whether you're in a cozy two-bedroom apartment or 10' x 15' dorm room - is the best way to ensure that yours remains a home sweet home, many counselors and resident hall advisers say. Smart roomies, they add, set rules for their living arrangement - and even get them in writing. "Ignoring the problem won't make it go away," said Casey Cressman, a resident adviser at Syracuse University. "We suggest that roommates sit down and talk one-on-one and try to come up with a solution. Unless you speak up, your roommate might not even know you're uncomfortable."

"Rules," she added, "are definitely underrated." Amy Coutee, a graduate student in journalism at the University of Iowa agrees—especially now that she's seen how rules have improved her live-in relationships. Early on, she sensed trouble when one of her roommates frequently invited a boyfriend to stay the night. To ease tension, Coutee and her two roomies established rules stipulating that no audible sounds come from the couple at night and that the boyfriend leaves their apartment before the other two women wake up each morning. "It's worked out better that we have been
open (about rules) from the beginning," Coutee said. "We'd all had problems in the past, and this is a much better situation?' Housing departments at many colleges and universities offer lists of suggested topics—visitation, cleaning responsibilities and borrowing policies for starters—that roommates should address shortly after they move in. Rules are nice, but flexibility is another key to living in harmony with a roommate, said Brian Landauer, a sophomore at Syracuse University. "There has got to be an understanding that things won't always go according to plan," he said. Make Tracks Over Winter Break !
