Lindsie Van Winkle, music theatre junior, sings as Eric Grigg accompanies her on the piano under the direction of Arthur Marks during a Chopin Society Master Class Sept. 6.
The Chopin Society of Mid America began the 18th season of the Central Oklahoma Concert Series Sept. 7 in Mitchell Hall with tenor Arthur Marks. Marks said when he sings he tries to pull the audience into the world that is within the music. "I try to get them to imagine what I am imagining," Marks said. "Since I'm singing in different languages at times, it's hard for everyone to understand what is being said in the music." He said he tries to get his audience to relate to the story. "I try to get them to see through my physical interpretation of the music, as well as what I'm doing vocally," he said. Marks said his voice is "pleasant to the ear, versatile, flexible, a gift, a gift that I am blessed to have." His interests other than singing include psychology and a social working career. "[My] musical Career comes first because that's where my heart is," he said. Marks received his undergraduate degrees from Bethel
College in North Newton, Kan. He has also taught voice at Hesston College and Wichita State University. Marks made his professional debut in 1992 with the Kansas City Symphony. Since then, he has been performing with the Baltimore Symphony, the Vivaldi Traveling Virtuoso Chamber Orchestra and the Des Moines Symphony Orchestra. He has performed on theatre stages all across the U.S. Some artists that inspire Marks to put his all into his performances are Alfredo Kraus, Billie Holiday and Julie Andrews. The concert series is far from over, and other performances will soon be coming to UCO. The American Brass Quintet will play Oct. 12. In 2004, pianist Eric Himy will perform Jan. 18, and John Atkins and Richard Fracker will sing March 7. Katerina Makarova, along with Oleksiy Koltakov, will play piano May 2 to complete the series.

Strunk clears funk from Broncho Lake by Rick Russick Staff Writer The "funky foam," as university horticulturist Gene Strunk called it, in Broncho Lake is being treated and will eventually disappear. Strunk is responsible for UCO's ground maintenance and Broncho Lake upkeep, which was not meant to support life, he said. "However, since many fish do live in the lake, we have to worry about them and make sure they are not harmed in any way," he said. Strunk said the "funk" floating on the lake is actually a combination of fatty acids left from the fish and filamentous algae, also commonly known as "pond scum." The deep green of the water is a result of the algae, he said. To offset the algae, Strunk said he uses a blue dye to block the sunlight. The dye will stop photosynthesis and allow the algae's growth to slow down. "We were using a chemical to kill the algae, but we had to quit using it because thought we might he harming the fish," he said. To combat the problem, Strunk sprays what he calls "foam buster."
"Basically, 'foam buster' is a group of chemicals used in spas and hot tubs. It is relatively harmless and, for now, this treatment seems to work well," Strunk said. "The fish are used to surviving in worse conditions than Broncho Lake," Director of Architectural and Engineering Services David G. Stapleton said. He said the fish in the lake are not edible in part because of the chemicals that have been placed into the lake. "Strunk has to tread a fine line between saving the fish and saving the pond," Stapleton said. Stapleton said the main problem with the lake is the way it was constructed. He said the lake's make—up is primarily a vinyl lining on dirt. The lake is a storm drain system where all the sludge and sediment collects at the bottom. "The lake is really nothing more than a swimming pool that hasn't had a filtration system in it," Stapleton said. He said in the lake's construction, a drain, like any swimming pool, should have been included. He said since there is not'one, the water needs to be circulated throughout the 20foot-deep lake. "Currently we have
fountains and a waterfall circulating water from 10 feet below the surface," Stapleton said. "However,
Ohl i-ono
it will take at least a year or
more before we will be able to tell whether the pumps will really improving the situation." Stapleton said the university is looking for other ways to improve Broncho Lake, but they cannot flush water out of the lake until the City of Edmond approves it. Steve Kreidler, vice president for Administration and Finance, said the lake's construction cost about $80,000 but did not cost the university anything. The money for the lake was raised primarily through corporate sponsors and private funds, Kreidler said. "We could not have done what we did [With the lake] without the support of our sponsors," he said. Because of budget constraints this year, it was not possible to include lake construction in the university's budget, Kreidler said. He said, as soon as temperatures drop, more landscaping projects are planned for the future. "We want to plant•more trees, but they would just die," Kreidler said. "It's just too hot."

My Turn with Rick Russick
Cartoon by Eric Osbom
Gone, but not forgotten... It has been two years since our nation faced its worst tragedy and since the world witnessed another one. Two wars have since been fought, and two fascist regimes have supposedly been abolished. Three thousand lives have been lost, and millions more have been affected. Now that the second anniversary has arrived, there will no doubt be a surge in patriotism with flags flying high in front of homes, and small polyester ones waving out of car windows. I made my first trip to New York this summer, a trip that proved to more powerful than I could have ever imagined. I witnessed the on-going efforts of the construction crews that work around the dock to clear the World Trade Center site in preparation for the proposed memorial. But even in July, a solemn chill filled the air. It was difficult to look at the Manhattan skyline without trying to envision the two towers that once stood. Standing at the site, it is even more difficult to imagine the neighboring 60-story building being dwarfed by the towers. This is nothing that hasn't been felt by anyone who has seen the pictures or read the stories, though.
What were most powerful to me were the emotional reactions of other visitors to the site. They weren't reactions restricted to visitors of onL nation. The hundreds of people who converge on the site daily are citizens of hundreds of nations worldwide. Though they don't all speak the same language or worship the same god, it is most apparent that their emotions are the same. The loss on Sept. 11 was not one felt in the United States. It was a loss felt by an entire world and an entire generation. The victims of the 2001 attacks were not only those airplane passengers who so bravely perished. They were not just the rescue workers who risked their lives for the lives of others. Our entire world suffered a traumatic blow. The patriotism that will surge Sept. 11 should not be confined to our small country. Instead, it should be a worldwide effort made for the sake of humanity. President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "Peace can endure only so long as humanity really insists upon it and is willing to work for it and sacrifice for it." This time, it appears a politician was speaking truth.

This banner from the people of Oklahoma hangs in St. Paul's Chapel in New York City, not far from Ground Zero. The church was heavily damaged when the towers fell, and today serves as a memorial.
It's time to pause and remember the 3,000 souls lost when the Twin Towers fell on Sept. 11, 2001. The Travel Channel reports that 425,000 cubic yards of concrete, 200,000 tons of steel, 23,000 florescent bulbs and 600,000 square feet of glass outlined the legacy cornmonly known as the Twin Towers. The World Trade Center was a symbol of strength not just for New Yorkers, but also for all Americans. Those lucky enough to visit the towers had a whole world of adventures awaiting them as they left the PATH subway train and stumbled up the long escalators to the 900 square foot mall complex below the Trade Center. Opened mouths and saucer eyes full of wonder adorned childlike faces as a flurry of activity unfolded like a fresh newspaper before them. Those who wished, could hop aboard an express elevator whisking them to the 107th floor observation deck on the South Tower, where only a thick panel of glass separated the surreal world from the nightmare of reality and the screaming streets below. Those who yearned for fresh air and hurricane-like winds could travel up to the promenade on the roof of the 110th floor. Hungry visitors could eat a three-course meal prepared by a chef at the Windows on the World restaurant at the top of the North Tower. On Sept. 11, 2001, all the
memories came to an end. Busy schedules came to an abrupt halt as explosions rattled the New York skyline. One plane, acting like a missile, had already plunged into Tower One. Stomachs hit the floor in disbelief like a rotten tomato. The second plane thudded into Tower Two. Americans wondered if a new fleshed-out holocaust had begun. Soon, reports of attacks on the Pentagon came in along with another plane crashing into a field in Pennsylvania. Who would do something like this and why? All innocence was ripped from America's heart that day, like a sick rapist lunging at a 13 year-old virgin. Americans hadn't seen or felt an attack like this since Pearl Harbor. New York had lost a landmark. Americans lost family and friends. Oklahomans were once again reminded of the hideous bombing. Oklahoma had been hit once again, not literally by a bomb, but symbolically. Many Oklahomans joined with New Yorkers as a new unforeseen friendship emerged. Victims became martyrs, and ordinary working people became heroes. Please remember and thank those fire fighters, police and paramedics who managed to save lives on Sept. 11.

Diet pill trend declining among college students by Rachael Tully Staff Writer For some UCO students, diet pills used to be apart of their daily routine. But lately, many of those students have been looking for safer methods of weight loss. Here is the skinny. The federal Food and Drug Administration reports that 120 million Americans are overweight. Of that group, 17 million people have purchased diet pills to lose weight or to boost ener-

Diet drugs all promise the same thing: a lean body. But do they deliver?
Metabolife, Xenadrine, Hydroxycut, and Diet Fuel are some of the most popular diet pills consumed by Americans. All of these products contain Ephedra, a stimulant the FDA warned against in March 2003. Ephedra, also known as Ephedrine or Ma Huang, is a stimulant made from a plant Central Asia. It has been added to diet pills to heighten energy levels and to spark weight loss. In 1997, the National College Health Risk Behavior survey found that 4.3 percent of college students had taken diet pills, the majority of them female. Recently, the FDA has said that the effects of ephedra could be extremely harmful. Users reported heart attacks, mood swings, seizures, insomnia, strokes and increased heart rate. With the growing trend of college students taking the pills, some UCO students felt the damaging effects. "When I took the pills, I felt very unfocused and anxious," said Savanah Baker, speech pathology major. "It made me tempermental." Kevin Holmes, marketing major, said he too became unfocused and that he felt "jittery" after he took Xenadrine. Sarah Shahan, public relations major, remembers similar side effects. "They gave me boost of energy
but only for a couple of hours. I would feel high, then low," she said. Some students said they took the pills to stay awake and more alert. Ashley Strickler, early childhood education major, looked to the pills for more energy. "It gave me a spark of energy," she said. "I got an extra boost, kind of like drinking a Coke." According to the FDA, when ephedra is mixed with caffeine, it can over- stimulate the central nervous system. This can cause a rapid heart rate and lack of sleep. "Getting enough sleep is a constant challenge for college students," said Tara Staudinger, Peer Health Educator at the University of Washington. "Taking a drug to stay awake studying can have very adverse effects on a person's sleep schedule," she said. The NFL banned ephedra products after Minnesota Vikings offensive lineman Korey Stringer died in 2001.
The NCAA and the US Olympic Team also banned ephedra products. UCO's Athletic Department abides by the same regulations of the NCAA said Jeff McKibbin, Assistant Athletic Director of Facilities and Equipment. "We make it a priority to educate our student athletes. The effects of ephedra could be very harmful to them," he said. In a public report released by the FDA in March, it was said that 100 deaths were linked to ephedra supplements. The diet pill trend is over for most college students. Many of them say that they are looking to exercise for energy and weight loss. "The pills worked for a while," Baker said. "But the good results were heavily outweighed by the bad."
Music downloaders sued by radio industry By TED BRIDIS AP Technology Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The targets of the first lawsuits against music fans who share songs on the Internet include an elderly man in Texas who rarely uses his computer, a Yale University professor and an unemployed woman in New York who says she didn't know she was breaking the law Each faces potentially devastating civil penalties or settlements that could cost them tens of thousands of dollars. The Recording Industry Association of America launched the next stage of its aggressive antipiracy campaign Monday, filing 261 federal lawsuits across the country. The action was aimed at what the RIAA described as "major offenders" illegally distributing on average more than 1,000 copyrighted music files each, but lawyers warned they may ultimately file thousands of similar cases. Durwood Pickle, 71, of Richardson, Texas, said his teenage grandchildren downloaded music onto his computer during their visits to his home. He said his grown son had explained the situation in
an earlier e-mail to the recording industry association. "I didn't do it, and I don't feel like I'm responsible," Pickle said in an interview "It's been stopped now, I guarantee you that." Pickle, who was unaware he was being sued until contacted by The Associated Press, said he rarely uses the computer in his home. "I'm not a computer-type person," Pickle said. "They come in and get on the computer. How do I get out of this?" Yale University professor Timothy Davis said he will stop sharing music files immediately. He downloaded about 500 songs from others on the Internet before his Internet provider notified him about the music industry's interest in his activities. "I've been pretending it was going to go away," said Davis, who teaches photography. Another defendant, Lisa Schamis of New York, said her Internet provider warned her two months ago that record industry lawyers had asked for her name and address, but she said she had no idea she might be sued. She acknowledged downloading "lots" of music over file-sharing networks.
"This is ridiculous," said Schamis, 26, who added she is unemployed and would be unable to pay any large fine or settlement. "I didn't understand it was illegal." She said the music industry shouldn't have the right to sue. "It's wrong on their part," she said. An estimated 60 million Americans participate in file-sharing networks, using software that makes it simple for computer users to locate and retrieve for free virtually any song by any artist within moments. Internet users broadly acknowledge music-trading is illegal, but the practice has flourished in recent years since copyright statutes are among the most popularly flouted laws online. "Nobody likes playing the heavy," said RIAA President Cary Sherman, who compared illegal music downloads to shoplifting. "There comes a time when you have to stand up and take appropriate action." Sen. Norm Coleman, a Minnesota Republican, has already promised congressional hearings into how the music industry has identified and tracked the Internet users it's suing.
Gentlemen, you might not land a date with this swimsuit model or get the Prowler Hot Rod off of your good looks, but with Dan's Barber Shop haircut you can impress that first date or the lady you have been married to for over 50 years.
"They have a legitimate interest that needs to be protected, but are they protecting it in a way that's too broad and overreaching?" Coleman said. "I don't want to make criminals out of 60 million kids, even though kids and grandkids are doing things they shouldn't be doing." The RIAA did not identify for reporters which Internet users it was suing or where they live. Lawsuits were filed in federal courthouses in New York City, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas and elsewhere. "Get a lawyer," advised Fred von Lohmann, an attorney for the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation. "There's no simpler advice than that, whether you intend to fight this or not.
You'll need someone to advise you." With estimates that half of filesharers are teenagers, all sides braced for the inevitable legal debate surrounding the financial damage to parents or grandparents. The RIAA named as the defendant in each lawsuit the person who paid for the household Internet account. "That question will come up immediately, whether a minor can have the requisite knowledge to be the right defendant," said Susan Crawford, who teaches law at Yeshiva University's Cardozo law school in New York City. 'A very young child who didn't know what they were doing would be a bad defendant for the industry." The RIAA also announced an
amnesty program for people who admit they illegally share music, promising not to sue them in exchange for their admission and pledge to delete the songs off their computers. The offer does not apply to people who already are targets of legal action. Sherman called the amnesty offer "our version of an olive branch." Some defense lawyers have objected to the amnesty provisions, warning that song publishers and other organizations not represented by the RIAA won't be constrained by the group's promise not to sue. U.S. copyright laws allow for damages of $750 to $150,000 for each song offered illegally on a person's computer.

Gov. Henry speaks in Israel on terrorism
He out!
By RON JENKINS Associated Press Writer OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Gov. Brad Henry was in Israel Monday as part of a 10-day business and cultural exchange program that will also spotlight Oklahoma's experience with terrorism. Henry, who has a meeting scheduled with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, was invited to speak Tuesday in Tel Aviv to the International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism. The governor was one of 30 Oklahomans on the trip, which is sponsored by the Oklahoma Israel Exchange, a nonprofit organization that promotes cooperation between Oklahoma and Israel. On Thursday, Henry was scheduled to take part in a tree-planting ceremony to honor victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. "Because of our experience in 1995, Oklahoma has a unique perspective on domestic terrorism," Henry said in a news release before leaving Oklahoma late Sunday "I
look forward to sharing that experience with the conferees." Other guest speakers will be former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Daniel C. Kurtzer. Two officials of the National Memorial Institute for Prevention of Terrorism in Oklahoma City Brian Houghton and Ken Thompson, also will represent Oklahoma at the forum. Henry was accompanied by his wife, Kim; chief-of-staff Gerald Adams and Agriculture Commissioner Terry Peach, along with OKIE members, including Michael Barlow, president. Paul Sund, Henry's communications director, said past governors, including Henry's predecessor, Frank Keating, had made trips to Israel sponsored by OKIE. Sund said Henry will be meeting with several Israeli officials, including the ministers of education and agriculture, as well calling on the Israeli Chamber of Commerce and Oklahoma companies doing business in Israel.

CORALVILLE, Iowa (AP) — Electricians found more than wires in the ceiling at Coral Ridge Mall _ they also discovered a small pot farm. "There's grow lights, fertilizer, plant containers, marijuana seeds, everything needed to grow marijuana," said police Lt. Ron Wenman. It appeared the plants had been harvested within the past month, Wenman said. "I would think if they've got six mature plants, that's going to be more than just personal use," police Detective Bill Clarahan said. He said the ceiling space was 6foot by 6-foot. "For the location it was in, it took
it all up," Clarahan said. The discovery was made Sept. 3 as electricians checked the space in anticipation of a new store, mall management said. A check of other ceiling spaces found nothing, police said. Monica Nadeau, mall general manager, said ceiling spaces aren't regularly checked. "There's not a lot we can do as far as going in and doing regular checks," Nadeau said. "These are leased, tenant spaces." Clarahan said he was shocked by the discovery. "When they told me I thought, 'You're kidding me, — he said.

The Old Blue Crew got the first Bronze and Blue award of the year last Friday in the UC.
State and local briefs OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)— Visitors to this year's Oklahoma State Fair will be greeted by a campaign to win public support for a $100 million overhaul of State Fair Park. Visitors to the fair, which opens Friday, will get a chance to review the master plans for the massive project, which would be financed by a 3-percent increase in the hotel room tax rate. The overall theme of the master plan calls for an influence of Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired designs combined with the feel of the Old West. The plans include sketches of new entrances, paving, landscaping and new facades for every building. Visitors also will see designs for new livestock buildings and horse show arenas aimed at keeping equine events and attracting more business in the future. Skip Wagner, state fair general manager, said the Oklahoma City
Council could be asked in the
next few months to schedule an election on the idea. "I think what will trigger them to approve it will be a presentation saying, 'Here is a plan for the fairgrounds that has broad support,' and I don't think they'll want to approve this without having that support," Wagner said. Wagner said the proposed tax increase already has the support of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce and the local hotel industry. The city's room tax now stands at 2 cents for every dollar. Plans for the project will be on display in the newly christened Centennial Building, formerly the Kitchens of America Building. With support of the Oklahoma Centennial Commission, the state fair board launched a facade renovation of the building's main entrance to give visitors a better idea of how the renovations might turn out, Wagner said.
Legislation proposes creation of "quiet zone" in Tulsa to spur downtown business TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Legislation pending in Congress includes $2.3 million to help Tulsa create a so-called "quiet zone" to spur development in its downtown area. City officials believe the zone is critical to the success of their efforts to revitalize the Central Business District. Voters have committed $750,000 in third-penny sales tax funds for the project. Made up of a series of elaborate barriers to keep vehicles from crossing railroad tracks, the project is designed to eliminate the need for oncoming trains to sound their horns. Currently the trains must blow their whistles at each of the dozen or so crossings through downtown. Rep. Ernest Istook, R-Okla., chairs the appropriations subcommittee that drafted the $89.3
billion bill. The bill also contains millions for transportation projects across Oklahoma, including several in Tulsa and the surrounding area. "Tulsa needs some good economic news, and I hope these funds will bring some," Istook said. In a letter to Istook, James Norton, president of Downtown Tulsa Unlimited, described the noise as a major impediment to encouraging more development in the area. "Entertainment venues want to locate in downtown Tulsa because rates are competitive, but they hesitate due to the inordinate amount of noise," Norton wrote. "As the economy grows this area will be the focus of new residential construction if we can control the noise and the crossings of the Burlington Northern. If not, Tulsa stands to lose over $350M (million) in private investment and many millions of dollars in public improvements from many sectors."

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) _ A first-degree murder charge has been filed against a landlord accused of hunting down and shooting a former tenant who owed back rent. John Gilbert Buntin, 63, was charged on Monday with the death of Darrin Keith Brannon, 33, of Stillwater. Buntin was also charged with pointing his rifle at Brannon's wife, Janeen Marie Island. Bail was denied by Special District Judge Charles Meyers. Defense attorney Garvin Isaacs requested "reasonable bail"' because Buntin's "family has lived in Stillwater since 1947; because Buntin has no criminal history; and because there's no evidence of flight risk." Outside court, Payne County Sheriff Carl Hiner said he has known Buntin for 30 years and was surprised by his arrest. "I used to ride motorcycles with him years ago; a real nice guy. The way I always knew him, he was a straightforward, stand-up citizen, a credit to the community," Hiner said. Brannon moved out of the
rental house on Friday, the day he was slain by a single rifle shot to the chest, District Attorney Rob Hudson said. The charges allege that Buntin went to Brannon's new residence and that Island called her husband home from across the street to talk to the former landlord. Prosecutors alleged that Buntin took a .30-06 rifle from his vehicle and shot Brannon in the chest from a distance of 6 to 15 feet. "When the gun went off, the victim's wife turned around and saw the victim falling to the ground and saw the defendant there holding the rifle. He raised the rifle as if pointing at her," Hudson alleged. She ran into the house, and Buntin left, the prosecutor said. Buntin was arrested without incident 25 minutes later at his home, Stillwater police spokesman Ron Benningfield said. "When police arrived, he was just taking a shower. He had told his wife, 'When police come, let them in,"' Hudson said.

arranged for a meeting at a convenience store an hour later. "Apparently, they didn't know the meaning of 'Dupe' as in 'duped' either," Amazi said. "It's incredible." The girls, ages 15 and 17, were arrested at the scene. Police said they found cash for the marijuana and drug paraphernalia on both girls. One was released to her parent and the other was turned over to a probation officer. "Not only did they do something wrong, but they should have been in school," Amazi said.
Faculty once more denied pay raises by Rick Russick Staff Writer Faculty pay will not increase this year due to mandatory cost increases by the university. Steven Kreidler, vice president for Administration and Finance, said $1,598,000 in mandatory cost increases and $575,000 in capital projects will keep UCO faculty salaries at a standstill for the second year in a row. "It is very unfortunate that faculty did not see a raise this year," he said. "However, because money was well-managed, six new faculty positions were created, and 14 adjuncts were turned into permanent members," Kreidler said. Mandatory cost increases this year included those for insur-
ance, maintenance contracts, tuition wavers and certain sports programs. Capital projects included mold removal from the Math & Computer Science Building, asbestos removal from several buildings and brick repairs. Emerging capital funds have been projected at $575,000, Kreidler said. Approximately half of all state income comes from the state income tax, he said. Legislatures save money and set it aside for the "Rainy Day" fund. It allows for educational expenses every year. "The money collected in the Rainy Day fund is extra money that was used to offset the capital project expenses and mandatory cost increases," Kreidler said.

Baked Potatoes Preheat oven to 400. Wash potatoes and pierce with fork. Place directly on oven rack and bake until tender, approximately 50 minutes to one hour. Check for doneness. A knife will slip in and out easily when they are fully cooked. Alternatively,after cleaning and piercing, microwave on high for five minutes for each potato. When baking potatoes in the oven, always cook more than you need. Cool them and keep them in the fridge for other quick meals. Twice baked potatoes 2 cooled, baked potatoes Butter

style. These come not only in the classic colors, but in pink, blue and yellow as well. Tennis shoes with a trendy touch will be available for you girls who like a comfortable style. This year the tennis shoes will have a touch of decor on them though. Stripes will decorate many shoes. Both soft and hard, plastic looking tennis shoes will be seen. I know it's oh-so-important for some of you to match your shoes with a purse. Well, this year, that will be very easy. Purses have been made to match the shoes this year. My favorite happens to be of the color that matches the rustic brown shoes. Very cute! In handbags , you will see many styles. But purses with handles \ that don't go over your shoulder are most trendy. Small bags are going to be easiest to find for they will be most popular. A new style I've noticed has been purses with small, metal, round handles. It is very stylish. It gives the purses a different look from the regular leather or cloth handle. Small U-shaped purses that became popular last year will still be in this year, but you'll see them with more of a square shape to them this year. Another bag you will see a lot of is the kind with initials on them. They started to become popular this summer; that will carry through this season. I went cruising around town looking for the best deals on footwear and purses. I found so much, I had to restrain myself. (Too bad schoolbooks are about $150 a pop; otherwise my feet would be sporting a different shoe everyday.) Payless, of course, had cute shoes for a good price. I believe they still have their "buy-one-pair-and-get-the-second-halfoff" sale. Bakers at Penn Square Mall also had some cute shoes. But their purses were even better. Right now they have a sale, buy two purses, get one free. That's a great deal if you pitch in money with your friends and each get a purse for cheap. The purses were an estimated $20 a piece. I found the initial bags at Kokopelli. You can order a bag with your initial. They come in several different colors. Nine West had some darling shoes, as well. Of course they are more expensive, but it's worth it. Happy Shopping!
NEW YORK (AP) — Denial. It's worked for Conan O'Brien before, so why not try it again? He didn't really know what he was getting into replacing David Letterman on NBC's "Late Night," and he's not trembling about becoming a dad for the first time at age 40. His wife, Liza, is expecting in October. "People are quite negative about the word 'denial' and I say, 'What are you talking about?'" he said. "It's gotten me a career in show business and it's getting me into fatherhood." This is shaping up as a memorable fall for O'Brien. In addition to impending parenthood and a fitful baby will undoubtedly give him the chance to watch himself on TV more often at 12:35 a.m. "Late Night" is up for its first Emmy Award as best comedy or variety series. On Sept. 14, NBC is also celebrating the 10th anniversary of O'Brien as host with a 90-minute prime-time special, taped before an audience at New York's Beacon Theater. O'Brien is part of the comedy establishment now Interview magazine says he's "arguably the funniest man on television." His rocky first months after Letterman left for CBS are ancient television history. "Late Night" combines traditional talk show elements with the kind of surreal moments that a young, after-midnight audience loves. He's created memorable characters and moments, like Triumph, the insult comic dog, Robert Smigel's absurdist "interview" with world figures and an entire episode painstakingly recreated in claymation. Thanks to reruns on Comedy Central, viewers who keep normal hours can also follow the show. O'Brien can tell the difference by who accosts him on the street. "Twelve-year-old kids get excited to see me," he said. "Twelveyear-old kids didn't used to know who I was because they weren't up at 12:30, unless there's something really wrong in the house." His anniversary show will be packed with highlights and visits from Jack Black and Will Ferrell.
Fall shopping is going to be fun this year! In the next few months you will have more styles available to you than you've ever had before; that is, in the shoe department. Not only are round tip shoes in, but pointed tip shoes AND square tip shoes are in. As far back as I can remember, all three styles have not been fashionably acceptable in the same season. The shoe aisles seem endless with different colors, heights and styles. Move over Star Jones — we're taking over the shoes now! Many shoe colors are in right now, but mostly black, brown, cream and burgundy will be worn. One of my favorites is a newly introduced brown. It looks like a rustic brown. The shoes appear to be a little worn because of the color, but it looks really classy. The cream color is another classy color; it will make any outfit (that matches it) look sophisticated. Black and brown of course are in style every year, but a matte finish seems to be popular this year. Flat shoes are always in as well for those who prefer not to have back problems in their later years of life. But those of us who don't mind walking with a hunched back in 40 years, a one-inch to three-inch heel will be easiest to find on the racks. The trendy heels will be medium to stiletto-thin in width. The big chunky rubber souls are out this Fall. If you have a hard time walking in thin heels, the wedge heels will be available for you this season. As for the style of the top of the shoe, like I mentioned before, all three main toe shapes are in. The backs of shoes are going to come in many different styles too. The most popular will be an open back. This is very classy and allows your foot to move so you don't feel so confined in your shoes. Backs that run up the back of your leg and tie or buckle around your ankle are also in. The tie should hit your leg just above your ankle. Slip-on shoes with a back are quite popular as well. Many of the slip-ons will have a schoolgirl look to them as well as a strap or bow connected near the toes Jill Allen is a senior communications major. Her column is feaof the shoe to give it a feminine touch. tured eatch Thursday in The Vista.

But it's more intriguing now to consider his future instead of his past. He's almost certainly ready for an earlier time slot, but his path is blocked at NBC by Jay Leno. The politically adept O'Brien has likened lusting after an 11:35 p.m. time slot to aspiring to be pope. "It's not up to me," he said. "There's someone who's doing it now who's doing it well and it's a success. If, at some point, Jay said, `I think I've done this long enough and I'm ready to step down' and they asked me to do it, it would be a thrilling opportunity. But there's so much serendipity in the thing." The workaholic Leno, 53, didn't
even allow a guest host for a decade until he was persuaded to switch jobs for a day with Katie Couric. The likelihood of him leaving any time soon seems remote. Letterman, 56, has suffered health problems in recent years and may be weary of being beaten in the ratings by a "Tonight" show many consider inferior to his. O'Brien, whose current contract has more than two years to go, replaced Letterman once. Could he do it again? "The timing would have to work out," he said. "Why would anyone assume that Dave would call me and say, 'I'm thinking of stepping down, you might not want to sign your next contract.' It may get very interesting in two years and then it may not." Fox came courting O'Brien before he signed his latest NBC deal and was rebuffed, even though it offered an earlier time slot. He has no regrets. He'll be near his 13th season when his deal ends. NBC has been happy with his show for the past seven years and has given him creative control, he said. A danger inherent in his time slot, where the audience by nature of the hour is often half O'Brien's
age, is aging beyond that En base. "I still think I come across as a young person, but can you be at 12:30 when you're 50?" he asked. don't know if you can, but maybe you can."

Soccer team looking to earn first win on Friday.
by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer
TN.MegS,
The Central Oklahoma soccer team begins Lone Star Conference play this weekend when they host Angelo State in their 2003 home opener Sept. 12 on Tom Thompson Field. "This game is a must win for us," said senior Valerie Gutierrez whose team has played three games so far and is still winless. "Our main goal is to win the conference." The Bronchos have gotten off to a rocky start sitting at 01-2 right now. They tied the Northwestern Lady Rangers 1-1 in their season debut in Alva on Sept 2 before taking a road trip to Colorado over the weekend. UCO was handled by Regis in Denver 2-0. Then they traveled to Lakewood where neither team would be able take a goose egg off of the scoreboard resulting in a 0-0 tie with Colorado Christian. The Bronchos are so close yet so far as they have out shot each of their opponents 60-34. The down side is that they have only scored 1 goal this season in 30 shot-on-goal attempts. "We should really be 2-1 right now," said head soccer coach Mike Cook. The only loss, he agrees, would be the 2-0 loss to Regis

"This is big game for us on Friday," said Cook. "We need to start conference play out on a good note." Cook recognizes Angelo State as a good team and he says it will take a hard fought game to win. "They are a solid team," said Cook. "They always play us tough." The Bronchos started out the season ranked No. 11 in the country by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Since then they have dropped considerably in the polls. "At this point, we can't take anyone lightly," said Cook. "We need to stay focused for every team." On Monday, Cook was working on his vote to the NSCAA. He expressed his opinion on his teams projected status in the upcoming poll. "We won't even be ranked," Cook said. The poll consists of 25 teams that coaches around the country believe are the best. "We need leadership," says Cook. "We need someone to take charge on the field. The ability's there, we just don't have a leader yet."

Boyland happy with team's response to loss in season opener by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor The Vista talked with Central Oklahoma volleyball coach Jeff Boyland about the season so far and how hip team responded after their seasonopening loss to Missouri Southern on Aug. 30. Vista: Where you happy with the way the team played this weekend? Boyland: Yeah very much so. We went up there, we weren't sure what type of cornpetition we were going to play and after our opening loss we weren't sure exactly how we were going to do. The team responded quite well and we picked up four crucial wins for us against regional opponents. So I was very pleased with that. Vista: Was that a good way to respond to the opener? Boyland: Absolutely, they did a very good job. They had some matches where they were down. We played the host team and they were down and came back and won at the end. Vista: How important was
it to go to Colorado and play well? Boyland: Well, that's what we're concentrating on, the month of September for us is going to be very difficult. We are on the road through September and we have a lot of tough competition. I told the girls early in practice we were going to be in a situation were September would be tough, but it was going to be our biggest learning period. Then when we get into conference play in October we would be ready to shine. We're really focused on the Lone Star Conference championship. Vista: Which match do you feel you played the best? Boyland: The best that we played was the match with Western State. They were coming off a big win the night before, we played them Saturday morning and we played really well. We beat them three games and they were a very good team. They definitely were shocked when we beat them. We were the smallest team there, yet we out-blocked every team we played.

Vista: Did you do anything in particular to try to instill a "go for the throat type" attitude after the opener? Boyland: Well we knew in that opener, we were kind of hanging on. Missouri Southern started six seniors who had played together four years and they had a Division I transfer who was a outstanding player. Then we had a few breaks that didn't go our way. But we made a few little changes offensively and defensively and it really helped us. Vista: Who has been the most pleasant surprise so far? Boyland: Well, Tori Walker and Stacey Meek amaze me. With the things they can do. Tori was just named hitter of the week and Stacey is a great setter. Probably our biggest surprise was Emily Whiteley, a JC transfer from ArkansasFort Smith, she came in and stepped right into our middle position. Also Kristen Smith has come in, another JC transfer, she's from Edmond Santa Fe and she's done a really good job for us. Freshman Penny Wascovich is extremely.athletic, we are just trying to mold her into the player she can be. But I'm pleased with everybody they are doing a good job. Vista: So you're happy with where the team is? Boyland: Yeah, I think they

get along real well, it's hard being on the road all the time to have everyone get along. We traveled to Colorado in a chartered bus and the girls seemed to really start to bond. We have pretty good team chemistry right now. Vista: Where the four games in two days a good test for the team's will to win? Boyland: Yeah, because they weren't easy. There were no blowouts where we cruised through. We are limited in numbers at our middle position due to Alison Pierce's injury so we were thin in the middle and those two had to play the whole time. I think the team fed off them, "if those two can do it, why can't we." Vista: What kind of match do you expect with Western New Mexico? Boyland: Very difficult. This is the first time UCO has played them in our history. They had a tough weekend, they were at University of Alaska-Anchorage and they played a tournament up there. So with the travel and everything we are hoping they are a little weary so we can get 'ern because it's a big match for us. Because we 'want to continue our growing process and take our team to the next level.

Chattin' around the cooler with Brandon Chatmon
OU's ready for stiff test, Ohio State is ripe for an upset As close as I was with my OU and OSU predictions, I was way off about the Florida/Miami score. But that game was NICE. The big plays, the comeback, that's why you gotta love college football. On the map this week are some good national battles with Notre Dame traveling to Michigan and NC State at Ohio State.
said Arkansas always has good defenses. Texas struggled in their opener then took last week off so they might be prime for the upset. Then again, maybe not, the Longhorns just have too many weapons for a team like Arkansas especially in Austin.
Southwest Missouri State @ OSU: The Cowboys offense rebounded from their lackluster opener, but it WAS Wyoming. This week things look to get even better with SMSU coming to Stillwater. The Cowboys might not want to even suit Josh and Rashaun up for this one, cause if they get hurt Saturday... somebody's gonna have some rationalizin' to do!
Washington State at Colorado: The Cougars had Notre Dame beaten, then choked their lead way. The Buffs rallied to ruin Karl Dorrell's first game at UCLA. Um... let's see one team choked, one team rallied to win. Let's go with Colorado, I was wrong about `ern once, I'm not doubting them again. Barnett somehow finds a way...
Prediction: OSU 49, SMSU 13. Fresno State at Oklahoma: The Sooners went right into 'Barna and handled their business. Fresno State ain't no joke, they've got talented receivers and a solid quarterback. This should be a better test for the Sooners D than last week, but a test the Sooners should pass thanks to that stellar secondary. Now if they can just get Brandon Everage to stay home and read a book... Prediction: OU 31, FSU 21. Big XII games of the Week:
Prediction: Texas 30, Arkansas 16.
Prediction: Colorado 23, Wash. St. 17. National Games of the Week: Notre Dame at Michigan: Touchdown Jesus really went to work last week as the Irish pulled their opener out. Michigan has looked exceptional with easy wins over Western Michigan and Houston. I don't see the Irish going into Ann Arbor and beating the Wolverines. Look for Braylon Edwards to show his skillz and since the Irish don't have an offense, he might be able to outscore them himself. Prediction: Michigan 28, Notre Dame 20,
Penn State at Nebraska: Joe Pa's squad was less than impressive as Boston College abused them in their win. Nebraska began their annual tune-up schedule with a easy W. Look for the Huskers to pull out the big win. But not necessarily because they're that good, Penn St. is just THAT bad. Prediction: Nebraska 27, Penn St. 24.

Stadium. This will be another out of conference game for the Bronchos as they take on the Bearcats from the MidAmerica Intercollegiate Athletics Association. The Bearcats have 15 starters returning from last year's 3-8 team that was 2-7 and finished ninth in conference play. This will be the first time the Bronchos have play the Bearcats, but UCO secondary coach Chuck Bailey says that they "like to throw the ball around similar to the teams in
our conference and should help get our team ready for conference play." "We need to be ready to play," says coach Bailey. "This will be their first home game. They are excited to play a team from a prestigious conference like the Lone Star Conference." "Our defensive philosophy is to bring pressure," says Bailey. "We want to have an attacking defensive style this year." The Bronchos hope they can get better pressure up front from guys like senior defensive end Danny Nephew this week against the Bearcats. "Danny is better when he can pin his ears back and rush the quarterback all day," said Bailey. Junior defensive back Uriah Matthew had the only sack
last week but the Bronchos defense took care of business in a 42-16 win over Mesa State allowing the Mavericks only 246 yards of total offense while also creating three turnovers. "We will see something totally opposite from last week," said Bailey. The Mavericks were an option team that tried to get it done on the ground while the Bearcats will be trying to play pitch and catch all day. "Their quarterback is a smart kid," says Bailey. "We are gonna have to disguise our blitz and stay disciplined in our coverage's." The Bronchos defense was impressive last week and has been praised by the coaching staff. The 3-8 Bearcats should be no match for us this week.
