TODAY IN HISTORY On Sept. 11, 1897, a strike by 75,000 coal workers, which shut down mines in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio, was settled after more than two months. The miners won an eight-hour work day and the abolition of company stores. The day before, 19 miners were killed at Lattimer, Pennsylvania, when deputy sheriffs opened fire on them.

tudents hit the books in college hoping the hard work will turn into dollars after graduation, but there may be too much wishful thinking. A survey of college students Aug. 2-5 at the Ernst & Young International Intern Leadership Conference said 65 percent of students think they will become millionaires in their life. Thirtyfive percent said they plan to be wealthy by age 40. The survey, of 900 Ernst & Young interns from 22 countries, showed 74 percent of the students also think they will become better off than their parents, and 47 percent plan on retiring in their 50's. Ernst & Young, a financial service, helps clients make financial decisions as they

Harp then shook his head and said "a million dollars sure is a lot of money though." Harp said the money is there you just have to know how to get it.

n this, the modern age of nanoseconds and dot corns, everyone wants everything yesterday. This seems to be true of retirement and wealth as well. The economic boom in which the United States recently participated made millionaires out of people who were a little computer savvy. However, as the old adage goes, all good things must come to end. That time appears to be very close for many Americans.
College students go to school for an education, and with it, a way to survive the ebbs and flows of the economic world. Education should give a certain amount of realism and logic, not just a way to chase a pipe dream. While dreams are healthy, impossible fantasies are not. It's time to wake up and realize this country was built on hard work and perseverance. Some people get lucky with a good idea, but most have to spend years of

sacrifice before they achieve financial success. The lucky ones get admiration, while the hard workers get respect. The odds that someone will retire before the age of 40 because they have built a better mousetrap are about as likely as winning the lottery. Education is not about learning how to roll the dice — it's about becoming wise and experienced enough to realize that those dice are loaded. •

ISLAM: Conflicting viewpoints
SEPT.
11, 2001
UCO students star in independent film
continued from page 1
The Webster's Dictionary defines secuarlism as, "A system of doctrines and practices that disregards or rejects any form of religious faith or worship." "Hearts have been programmed that happiness is related to economic situations," he said. He said there is no moral fabric in our society and the government. Webb said the view most people have concerning morals is that their morals are subjective to their conscience. Webb has counseled gay Muslims that approached him when they felt their lifestyle wasn't correct. Another other cause for homosexuality is the devil, Webb said. "At [age] 7 we are to teach children to pray...and at 10 we are told to put them in separate beds. We need to separate boys and girls and boys and boys [in beds]. Syaitan [the devil] can come and cause trouble," Webb said. He said if people refuse to turn away from a homosexual lifestyle, then they are cursed. After the talk, microphones were available for men with questions while women could submit questions on a piece of paper.
Some questions asked included how to talk to homosexual students about Allah, or where in the Qur'an it speaks specifically about homosexuality. No one verbally contended Webb's viewpoint. Webb said he wanted the presentation to stimulate thoughts and refute false claims and correct this behavior. "It's important as a Muslim for social issues to be addressed. They need to hear an alternative voice, they have a right to hear it," he said. According to graduate student and former MSA president, Ali Mujahid, there are 250-300 Muslims on campus. Concerning the meeting Mujahid said, "It was very informative. The best part is that it was in a university setting. This is a form of expression of humans, to enjoy free speech." Another student and member of the MSA, political science senior Suhail Shaikh, said the talks are important to have because a lot of people misunderstand Islam. "We aren't anti-homosexuals. We want them to understand our position towards it," Shaikh said. Edmond's mosque is at 525 N. University Drive. •

"It was a good match, they had a rowdy crowd," said UCO coach Mark Herrin. "We will have to put this behind us."

he Bronchos were undefeated this weekend in the Dr. Pepper Classic held at Oklahoma Christian Field in Oklahoma City. The two-day tournament was moved from Tom Thompson Field due to wet weather conditions. The Bronchos got off to a great start with a 5-2 victory over Oklahoma Christian (OC). UCO junior forward Kim Brown set the pace with a pair of kills as the Bronchos out shot OC, 26-10. Brown, a native of Norman, broke a 1-1 tie towards the end of the first half, scoring on a feed from Denise Taylor. Melissa Burns scored her first career goal, in the game, on a penalty kick.

he Bronchos made their 2001 home debut, taking on the Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys, Saturday, Sept. 8 as the cheers of fans echoed throughout Wantland Stadium. UCO was hoping for their tenth straight win in home openers, however that would not happen as the Bronchos lost 32-26. Arkansas Tech jumped on top quickly, scoring twice in their first three plays of the game to take a 12-0 lead. Greg Briley put the Bronchos on the board with just 12 seconds left in the half, with a one-yard touchdown run to cap off a 60 yard scoring drive. The Bronchos opened up the second half with a fumbled punt. The Wonder Boys recovered the loose ball at the UCO 46 yard line. Two plays later Arkansas Tech quarterback Josh Price hit Marcus Thompson for a 44 yard
touchdown to take an 18-6 lead. Arkansas Tech would also score on their next possesion to increase the lead to 25-6. Late in the third quarter, Broncho's quarterback Brett Manning took the ball in the endzone from the one-yard line to cut the lead to 25-13. The Wonder Boys took control of the fourth-quarter with yet another touchdown to increase their already commanding lead to 32-13. With just under five minutes left on the clock, Manning hit Brandon Whitely for a 15 yard touchdown pass to move within 12 points of the lead. The Bronchos then tried an onside kick, but Arkansas Tech recovered. UCO would, however score again on their next possession, with Manning tossing another touchdown, this time to Brent Ingram with 57 seconds remaining on the clock. The Bronchos once again tried the onside kick, but once again

the Wonder Boys would recover and seal a 32-26 Arkansas Tech victory. "Obviously the fumbled punt was a big play, but it wasn't what cost us the football game," UCO coach Gary Howard said. "We gave up too many plays on defense and we couldn't run the ball. We did a nice job with passing game, but we need to be able to run the football." The Bronchos finished the game with 381 total yards. Briley was held to just 44 yards on 19 carries, he is now 599 yards short of moving into fifth-place on UCO's all-time rushers list. Meanwhile, Manning moved into fourth-place on UCO's career passing list with his 291yard effort. He now has 3,227 total yards in his career. Saturday's game was his seventhbest single-game outing. Dee Dee Cooper lead the receivers for the Bronchos with 10 receptions for 116 yards. The Bronchos are now 1-1 on the season. Their next game is scheduled for Sept. 15 at Texas A&M-Commerce, in Commerce, Texas at 6 p.m. •

New UCO computer system installation under way BY DANIEL HOLDGE
U
Staff Writer
CO is in the middle of
installing an upgraded computer program called Banner designed by Software and Computer Technologies (SCT) to replace several thousand systems on campus. David Koehn, controller and project manager for Banner said the system is being implemented to improve many aspects at UCO. "There is a lot of time wasted from the students and our side just to get answers. By the time you call and get someone and get your answer, you will be able to get the information online," he said. Koehn said the problem with the existing program is "the systems we have now is old technology and don't talk with each other." The new program is directed towards five modules including finance, human resources, students, financial aid and
alumni. The Human Resources Department handles payroll, budgets and benefits, while the student options will allow students to enroll, add and drop classes, and pay tuition online. The students option will be completed by April 2002, says Koehn. Dr. Cynthia Rolfe, assistant to the president, said the enrollment option is a major plus. "Students will be able to do enrollment online instead of standing in line." There are downsides to the program with some computers not being compatible with the new and improved system. Macintosh computers cannot use the Banner system, making it difficult to use from certain departments. Rolfe said there would be some problems at first that will have to be fixed. "We are putting the basic system in and getting it running, then we can go back and make

Instructor naturalized after 15 years of U.S. residency BY j .W . MCBEE

UCO assistant professor of political science recently received his citizenship after 15 years in the United States. Dr. Husam A. Mohamad was naturalized Friday, Aug. 31 in Oklahoma City. Dr. Mohamad also teaches advanced courses in Middle East conflicts. "I came to the University of Central Oklahoma in 1999 as a replacement for Dr. Youngtae Shin. I was renewed after that for
a year," Mohamad said. Mohamad said life in a U.S. university is the best for a student or teacher because they can enjoy academic freedom. "In Cyprus you are limited in what you can see in textbooks because it is supervised by the authorities. I found restrictions in universities abroad," Mohamad said. Mohamad said he

had problems with INS because he was teaching abroad. "The citizenship process was difficult. I had to prove I was spending enough time in the U.S. while teaching abroad," Mohamad said. "The New York Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) offices were like jail. No conversations were allowed. You have to
be very careful how you act in those offices," said Mohamad. Mohamad said he found the Oklahoma INS offices more helpful. "The best INS offices I have experienced are in Oklahoma. I changed my mind about them. The INS officers are extremely nice," Mohamad said. PHOTO BY ELISE CARR "I realized it was very Dr. Husam A.

He studied in Cincinnati on a student visa and for the - past seven years he has had a green card [proof of residency card]. Mohamad lived with his mother in Kuffer Roman, a small town on the north part of the West Bank in Jordan. Mohamad became aware of Oklahoma after hearing about the F5 tornado on May 3,1999. "Before coming to UCO, I saw the May 3 tornado. It was the first time I was aware of Oklahoma," said Mohamad. "I wondered how people could live around them. Two months later I was called in for an interview." Mohamad now lives with his wife Oraynad and his daughter Yasmeen, 5, and son Ashraf, 3. "I always wanted to teach. I can't see myself doing anything else. It's fulfilling interacting with young people," Mohamad said. "Probably the most wonderful achievement I have made was to become a teacher," Mohamad said. • Log on to www.thevistaonline.com 24 hours a day for campus news or to sound off on current issues.

`Politically Correct' art exhibit pokes fun at society BY SARAH BLOUNT
Staff Writer lassic art, printmaking, satirical humor, and critiques on society - all in one exhibit! If this sounds interesting, it can be seen in "Politically Correct," presented by The Donna Nigh Gallery this September. In the tradition of other satirical works, the show promises to be dry witted and humorously done, according to Zina Golena, Assistant Director of the gallery, UCO art professors Dr. William L. Hommel and Rob Smith have combined two distinctive styles of printmaking, digital and serigraphy, to showcase a comical view of modern government and society. "Both [artists] take comical potshots at government and organized religion," said Gelona. "It's a look at society through art," Gelona also said, "the artists have very talented backgrounds in art history." Dr. Hommel's showcase will

feature a combination of both classical works and contemporary leaders. His medium includes manipulating 18th century Spanish artist Goya's paintings. "Goya images dealt with satire of politics and leaders," said Hommel. "He got into trouble with the Church." When asked if he thinks some people viewing his art will take offense, Hommel said that likely Republicans would, due to the amount of attention given to GOPs who are currently in the administration. Hommel said he has been using digital print for around 3 years now, the idea stemming from several faculty shows he did for the UCO Art Department. "I've always been interested in satire," said Hommel, "taking paintings and adding figures gives the work a different meaning." Rob Smith will feature serigraphy in his artwork.

Political science instructor lectures on South Korean women BY SARAH BLOUNT
I
Staff Writer
he College of Liberal Arts Lecture Series began Wednesday with Dr. Youngtae Shin, associate professor of political science. Her lecture was titled "Political Prisoners: The Known and Unknown Politics of Korea." Shin recently returned from a year-long sabbatical in South Korea. Her lecture was based on a long-standing research project of women's roles in the democratization in South Korea. Hundreds of citizens, including many students, with political views that oppose government views have been imprisoned since the 1950s. Prisoners are taken on the assumption that they are communists and North Korean sympathizers. Shin said the South Korean government puts many restrictions on anything that may
benefit North Korea or communist belief. Shin reported that Marxist books were only allowed in the country eight years ago. Shin traveled to South Korea to witness the success Korean mothers have found through protest and objection to political prisoners. What causes these women to join together in protest is their common ground: their children. What started out as individual trips to prisons to visit their children evolved into a social movement with a collective identity of mothers of political prisoners, Shin said. These women have received freedom to stage social protests. An advantage the women have is their exploitation of Korean culture. Shin said middle-aged Asian women hold a very high status. These women are able to take
advantage of both Asian culture and the maternal aspect. "The general population gets upset if they hear mothers are being treated roughly," she said. Korean women and mothers don't have the same constraints as college-aged protesters, Shin said they were able to fight off the riot police by saying "don't you even have a mother?" She personally witnessed many personal aspects of these women's lives. She spent months with them, eventually getting close enough to become a trustworthy witness. "It took me a long time to gain their trust," Shin said. "I had to literally sleep and eat with them before they would accept me." Shin was grateful for the extended sabbatical she was granted by the university. She said a shorter amount of time would not have allowed her to gain trust with the women and "all the
information [she had gathered] would have gone down the drain." Their staged protests have gained large amounts of media attention in South Korea, and Shin said that mothers who had successfully freed their own children didn't quit, but continued to protest other prisoners. Dean of Liberal Arts, Dr. T.H. Baughman, said lectures such as Shin's provide an opportunity to showcase the faculty before students take a class with them. "Sometimes upper-division classes are hard to fill, and students get to see the faculty they might take classes with." Baughman also spoke about the important role research plays in university teaching. "This kind of presentation of original research, not available anywhere else, is a part of what it means to be a university." The monthly lecture series will
continue on Oct. 4., when Dr. Baughman will host a student presentation about study abroad programs. On Nov. 15, Dr. Don Betz, vice president of Academic Affairs, will discuss his work with the United Nations over the past 20 years with special regard to his work for peace in the Middle East. The final lecture is on Dec. 5. Dr. Christopher Givens, associate professor of English, will discuss his experiences in Madagascar where he was a Fulbright Scholar. The lectures will take place in Pegasus Theater, located in the Liberal Arts building. It is open to the public and is free of charge. For more information about the Liberal Arts Lecture Series, call 974-5540. •

Webmasters club offers free instruction to students BY MICHAEL LARSON
Staff Writer CO Webmasters Club is offering space on their web server and free instruction on designing and maintaining web sites to students and organizations. The services are in an effort to increase general knowledge of the Internet and to keep UCO up to speed with developments in technology, said Asad Ahmed, a computer science graduate student who represents the organization in the Student Senate. "There are lots of student organizations on campus, and most of them don't have web pages. We help them learn how to use the software and provide them with space on our own server," Ahmed said. So far, the club has contributed in making sites for Recreation and Intramural Sports Program at UCO, and the Edmond Art and Humanities Council and the Bangladesh Student Association off campus, he said. The club is installing two computers in the Commons Clubhouse given to them by UCO. Members have access to web editing software like Microsoft Front Page and Macromedia Flash. Tom Bergman, business
professor and the club's faculty sponsor, said the club's mission is to provide training opportunities to its members and to provide both students and organizations with free web pages. Bergman said the idea is to empower students or organizations with web skills, allowing them to develop and maintain the site on their own. "Keeping up a web site is an ongoing requirement, and it's best done by people who actually have the information." Vice President Irfan Asrar, senior computer science major, said, "Anybody that's interested in the Internet and technology as a whole; anybody who's possibly trying to figure out where the Internet is going, we're looking for them." "We're trying to make professionals out of people and give them some skills they can use in the real world." Webmasters Club President Ronnie Khan, senior computer science major, said, "A lot of people think that web design is really hard and are scared to get into it. They think they might not be able to keep up with the technology. We have mentors both on and off campus who will help members on any web-related questions they might have." "Most of our members are
computer science or management information systems (MIS) majors, but we also have members that are in graphic design and other fields like that," Khan said. "We definitely don't want to be limited to students of specific majors. We like to invite everybody interested in building web sites to join the club." "Students can get real world experience building web sites, then list their skills and the work they've already done on their resumes," he said. The association currently has 38 members. Membership fees are $10 for one semester or $15 for one year, which includes summer semester. "If we get more members and need more software, we're more than willing to do that. So far it hasn't been a problem," Khan said. The club is taking measures to comply with UCO policies for accessibility. An example of this is eliminating frames from their web sites, because frames confuse Braille interface software. "This is a dynamic club. Every time we introduce new software, we get to figure out how to integrate it into our sites," Ahmed said. The club was reorganized last fall, after having fallen into a state of inactivity. Khan attributes
the problem to several of the "We're the grease monkeys of experienced members graduating, the IT industry; just guys who are a problem which the organization hooked on the net." • hopes to solve by attracting Log on to www.thevistaonline.com students earlier in their college 24 hours a day for campus news or careers. to sound off on current issues. Asrar said, "We try to get a lot of freshmen and sophomores. A lot of last semester we spent educating instead of working on projects because several freshman and sophomores wanted to join Webmasters Club." Bergman said, "We molded the organization after the student newspaper where younger students learn from working with older students on projects." "I'm looking forward to joining," said perspective member Sheikh Rashid, a junior MIS major, who just recently found Tell us what's on your mind! time to consider membership. "We like to have fun with technology," Asrar said.

wo nationally renowned relationship specialists are scheduled to speak 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept 12 at Mitchell Hall. Gov. Frank Keating has appointed Les and Leslie Parrott as "marriage ambassadors." Keating has asked the couple to help in the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative, a strategic plan to honor marriage and reduce divorce. The goal of this program is to lower the divorce rate in Oklahoma one third by the year 2010. Keating and First Lady, Kathy Keating organized the Marriage Initiative. The Parrott's have included UCO into their "Can You Relate 2001 Tour," said Dr. Bruce Lochner, director of counseling and testing services. "Les is a psychologist, and Leslie is a marriage family therapist. They have promoted programs to enrich existing marriages and people contemplating future relationships," Lochner said. "The Parrott's' general message will be fun andinformative at the same time," he said. Student Counseling Services and Campus Life are thesponsors for this tour. Lochner and Jason Gunter, University of Oklahoma doctoral student of counseling and psychology, will be co-facilitating a relationship enhancement group. "Material from a curriculum developed by Les Parrott will be presented in the group," Gunter said. "It will give people an opportunity to talk more openly," Lochner said. The group will begin two to three weeks after the Parrott's tour presentation. •

Michaelangelo discussed BY BRANDI L. MARKS
Staff Writer
A
t 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 5 in St. John's Catholic Church, the UCO Catholic Student Center hosted a presentation featuring the 14-year cleaning and restoration of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. Walter Persegati of Vatican Monuments, Museums, and Art Galleries gave the presentation, and tickets were sold as part of a fundraiser for the Catholic Student Center. Persegati's lecture included an overview of the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo. The presentation was an explanation of the process of restoration and a slide show of the Chapel before, during and after cleaning, said Carl Erickson of the UCO Catholic Campus Ministries. Persegati has been the secretary general and treasurer of Vatican Monuments, Museums,
and Art Galleries for 20 years. He was part of the official restoration crew and has visited over 160 countries presenting the restoration process, Erickson said. "The cleaning brought back the sense of Michelangelo as a painter of true color," Persegati said. It was intended that the audience gain a better understanding of Michelangelo's ideas on religion in the discussion of the paintings, Persegati said. Erickson said the money received from the presentation would go to the UCO Catholic Campus Ministries, in hopes to add to their goal of providing spiritual nourishment to students and to help the Catholic Student Ministry serve as a resource and social dwelling. â&#x20AC;˘ Log on to www.thevistaonline.com
