AT scores among Oklahoma students continue to rise above the national average according to the Oklahoma State Board of Regents.

"We're very pleased with the growth in SAT scores and we look forward to continuing this upward trend," said Joe Hagy, senior director of special programs.

Reaching a five-year high, Oklahoma students participation in the 2000 SAT program increased by 6.7 percent over 1999.

3,091 students participated in the SAT last year compared to 3,298 in 2000.

The national average verbal score is 505 while Oklahoma testtakers achieved an average score of 563. In math the national average score is 514. Oklahoman students scored 560.

Administered by The College Board, the SAT exam is used by Oklahoma colleges and universities, but it is more often used by higher education

institutions on the East and West Coasts as part of the admissions process.

Although Oklahoma scored above the national average, a slight drop in verbal performance compared to last year was noticed.

The verbal score of 563 for 2000 was barely below the 567 score for 1999. Math scores were consistent at 560 and maintained a 514 national average, which is a 30year high.

Initiatives such as GEAR UP and Brain Gain 2010 help prepare students for college and academic success.

Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs, GEAR UP is a program aimed at middle and high school students to help prepare them for college through scholarships, new academic preparation and mentoring programs. It is a federally funded program which includes these awareness programs not only for students but parents as well.

Brain Gain 2010 focuses on increasing the number of students

who go directly from high school to college. As well as improving Oklahoma college and university graduation rates, the goal of Brain Gain 2010 is to increase the proportion of Oklahomans possessing a bachelor's degree from 20 to 28 percent by 2010.

Students preparing for college by taking the PreliminarySAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) consistently outperform students on the SAT who did not participate in the preliminary exam. Oklahoma students who participated in the PSAT/NMSQT scored 77 points higher in verbal and 73 points higher in math than those who did not take the test.

College preparation along with emphasis on core curriculum enables Oklahoma to produce more quality students and those students will be prepared to have success in academics and in the Workplace. These factors have positive effects on Oklahoma colleges and universities as well as economics in the state. •

T

he male/female ratio at UCO should make dating a breeze for guys. So why are most guys dateless?

I'm not talking about loser guys. These are guys in good shape with good jobs who are intelligent, outgoing, do charity work and have senses of humor more refined than "yo mamma" jokes.

Why are these guys dateless? Do all college women have boyfriends, and this whole thing is just a quirk in the law of averages?

Maybe. But maybe the problem is deeper. Even with the odds stacked in their favor, many men just can't bring themselves to make the first move and ask women out. We can't date the way our grandparents dated, there is no more "nice girl waiting by the phone" for our generation, and the "dinner and a movie" routine has become horribly cliche.

Although most of the women I know are involved, there have to be some single women here.

Girls: take the upper hand, ask guys out and be blunt. Men are EXTREMELY DENSE, so dropping hints will not work.

ailing all males! Where are you hiding? Are females around here not cute enough or what?

I'm familiar with the latest statistics regarding female equality, but the thought of a 57:43 female to male student ratio at UCO would have never crossed my traditional mind.

I thought it was just a coincidence that there were a mere 10 or so males in all my classes — combined. Then I began to hear others speak of similar findings. All over campus, males can be seen high-fiving each other upon recognizing that there are more of us than them.

A few questions weigh on my mind: Why are there more females than males at this university?

Are the males who aren't pursuing degrees going to attain jobs that will provide for their families?

Anyone who is pursuing a college degree wshould be appluaded, and I'm not one to say that ollege is for eeryone. The '90s have passed by and seem to have left some of us traditional-minded folk starign back at its dust. But ten yeras from _ now, I'm likely to still think it slightly strange to see a majority of female breadwinners.

That is, IF we can find some males around here to marry.

UCO has record number of freshmen, international students

BY SARAH DAVIS

Staff Writer

U

CO reached a record high of enrolling 2,060 first-time freshman this fall.

"Freshmen are up 12 students from 2,048 last year," said Vice President of Enrollment Management Jerry Legere.

Enrollment has risen each year for the past six years. The numbers of full-time students and credit hours taken by students have risen as well.

"Since 1996, freshman enrollment has increased 40 percent. We're very proud to see that it has almost doubled in four years," said Director of Prospective Student Services/Scholarships Stacy McNeiland.

Students attending UCO full time this semester total 9,111 compared to 8,925 last year.

"We adjust our recruitment strategies all the time. We focus on the high schools that have pulled the most yield in recent years and we also want to be recognized throughout Oklahoma," McNeiland said.

High schools that have sent in the most students include the three Edmond high schools, Putnam City

"Oklahoma County brings in 90 percent of our students. We also target schools outside the Oklahoma City metro area. This past year we had a good yield from Woodward," McNeiland said.

Classification enrollment shows 4,005 freshman students, 2,132 sophomores, 2,130 juniors, 3,593 seniors and 2,335 graduate students attend UCO. Students on campus total 14,195 with the undergraduate population at 11,860 students.

A total of 154,901 credit hours are being taken by UCO students.

Over 138,000 of those hours are undergraduate and just over 15,000 are graduate hours.

The most popular major at UCO is education with 3,872 students enrolled. College major populations this year are close to last fall's numbers. Numbers for each college are 3,516 majors in the College of Business Administration, 2,812 majors in the College of Mathematics and Science and 3,799 majors in the College of Liberal Arts, which is up 400 from last year.

International students total 1,644, up 64 from last year. Citizens of 100 countries other than the

U.S. are represented at UCO. Japan, China, Malaysia and India have the highest student population representations.

In 1976 Dr. Ronald Paddack founded the International Student Services office, which promotes UCO overseas and brings in students from other countries.

"The increase in international students at UCO has been gradual and due to a lot of hard work," said Paddack. "International students who graduate from UCO and are happy with it recommend coming here to their family and friends."

Many international students come to UCO because of limited space at universities in their original countries.

"Some countries only have space at their universities for 5 to 10 percent of high school graduates that are academically qualified," Paddack said.

Although the total number of students on campus has not risen dramatically in past years, the small increases in numbers show UCO has the potential to enroll more

UCO strong safety, Jon Brazeal, runs to head-off an opponent during the Bronchos 38-14 loss to Northwestern Oklahoma. The Bronchos played the Rangers Saturday, Sept.9 in Alva. The loss gives UCO an 0-2 record for the 2000 season, and continues a five game losing streak dating back from last year. The Bronchos will play Texas A&MCommerce at home Saturday, Sept. 16.

Venus Williams not only kept the U.S. Open women's title in America, she kept it in the family. Williams defeated Lindsay Davenport 6-4, 7.5, to claim the trophy her sister Serena did a year ago. It was the first all-American women's U.S. Open final since Tracy Austin beat Chris Evert in 1979.

Twenty-year-old Marat Safin became the first Russian to ever win the U.S. Open when he defeated PeteSampras 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 in the men's finals. Sampras is a fourtime champion of the Open, and holds a record 13 Grand Slam titles including seven Wimbledon championships.

Bobby Knight fired After three tumultous decades as the Indiana Hoosiers' head basketball coach, Bobby Knight was fired on Sunday, Sept. 10 for a 'pattern of unacceptable behavior.'

Knight who has had trouble in the past for a history of misconduct, was warned in May by the school about his behavior. He was ordered to abide by a 'zero tolerance' conduct policy which included no physical contact with students. Knight had a run-in on Thursday, Sept. 7 with a student and grabbed his arm for what he felt was a disrespectful remark. This amoung other instances cited by University president, Myles Brand, ultimately ended the career of the 59-year-old Hall of Fame coach.

The 210 acres cleared held over 350 mines and other devices. The land will be returned to agricultural use.

China—China has dumped almost 10 percent of its 300plus Olympic team over drug use allegations.

China is one of five finalists bidding to host the 2008 Olympic games.

Europe — The U.S. dollar hit a new high against the euro Sept. 6.

The euro was at 86.89 cents in late European trading, down from 88.79 cents Sept.

5. The previous closing low for the currency was 88.37 cents on Aug. 31.

Later, in midday trading in New York, the euro traded at 87.12 cents.

SOUTH AMERICA Columbia—South American leaders held a summit meeting in Brasilia Aug. 31 through Sep 1 to propose a plan to strengthen social, economic, political, environmental and institutional areas of each South American state.

The South American heads of state committed to a free trade agreement for North and South America by 2005.

MIDDLE EAST Morocco—Unemployment rates in Morocco rose from 12.9 percent to 13.2 percent since 1999, according to a report released by the Moroccan government last week.

Unemployment among women increased 2 percent while unemployed persons holding some sort of diploma or degree increased 4 percent.

Thailand—A Pattaya man named Thamnong Buntham was arrested last week for stealing a Mitsubishi pick-up filled with booze and cigarettes.

His defense? He said his nagging wife drove him to do it.

The truck "was begging me to steal it," Buntham claimed.

While walking the streets he came across the pick-up truck, which was loaded with cartons of cigarettes and bottles of whiskey and had the keys in the ignition.

The stolen vehicle and merchandise were returned to their rightful owner, the daughter of a store owner in Soi Bua Khao.

AFRICA Zimbabwe—The SecretaryGeneral of the United Nations recently met with four southern African presidents to discuss the issue of land reform in Zimbabwe.

The four presidents, Dr. Bakili Muluzi of Malawi, Sam Nujoma of Namibia, Thabo Mbeki of South Africa and Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, and the Secretary- General say they recognized the urgent need for such land reform as well as the responsibility of Zimbabwe to implement a credible program which would engage the interest of the donor community. They also recognized the responsibility of the international community to assist the government.

College students' trends keep merchants hopping BY

KATY MARQUARDT

College Press Reporter

s students sweep onto local college campuses, they're bound to bring with them new ideas, attitudes - and animal prints. They're also likely to bring new dormitory essentials such as butterfly chairs, inflatable furniture and storage paraphernalia.

Local retailers say it's hard to predict which of this year's trends will have staying power on campuses and which will join the graveyard of ill-fated fads: the bargain bin.

"You don't know what they're going to want next," said Kevin Hutchison, manager of Austin Outfitters, an outdoor apparel store in Barton Creek Square. "One week, they want the Doc Martens with the yellow label, and the next they want the ones with the green label."

That's the college market.

What's cutting-edge in the fall semester is often stale by spring.

Although such conditions prove slippery for retailers, those that make an effort to reach the college community can tap into a generation of impressionable consumers who have the ability to spend now and spend later.

A

"Students relatively have a fair amount of disposable income. They don't have a mortgage, a family, two car payments . . . . They're not tied down," said Joe Jones, owner of Whole Earth Provision Co., a store on the Drag that sells outdoor gear.

"The question isn't whether they have money; it's how they choose to spend it."

Trends gain impetus as they are forwarded through peers, said Eric Weil, managing partner of the Student Monitor, a New Jerseybased college marketing think tank.

"On campus, you observe whatever everyone else is doing and just mold to that," said Chris Geddie, a UT senior who lives in Jester Center. "Unless you want to be an individual, you do whatever everyone else does. It's basically a bandwagon thing."

One company that's drawn a large college following through word-of-mouth is Target Corp., which many students pronounce "tar-jay," Weil said.

"They look at it as an upscale Wal-Mart or Kmart; they think it's cooler and more contemporary," Weil said.

Buffalo Exchange, a resale chain with a store near the UT campus, moves stagnant fashions to the sale racks after three months, said Lisa

Cox, a buyer for the Austin store.

"Most people don't want to see the same stuff day in and day out, so after three months, it's best to get it out of the store," she said.

Like many retailers, Buffalo Exchange looks to the East and West coasts for the latest fashions in order to keep trendy merchandise in stock.

"We see what's selling in cities that are more fashion-forward," she said. "We also educate ourselves by noticing what's being purchased and doing research at the malls, checking out what's on sale."

A look at the sale racks recently revealed a lot of animal prints, indicating they are on the way out, Cox said. Also on the list of dying trends are platform tennis shoes and clothing made of velour and shiny materials.

But not every fashion is just passing through, said Sarah Tarry, a sales assistant at Buffalo Exchange.

"One trend that stuck around is vintage clothing," said Tarry, who estimates that about 30 percent of trends become staples.

"It's been constantly popular regardless of other trends for more than a decade. Designers are always going to be pulling these styles out of the closet." • PHOTO BY TSUYOSHI SHIRAISHI

Colleges prepare next generation of teachers

BY STEVE STANEK

College Press Reporter

A

bout 220,000 new teachers are expected to enter the workforce during the next 10 years, which means 220,000 students will be pouring through teaching colleges across the country.

And those colleges are responding to calls from many quarters for more accountability and measurable results in the teaching profession, said Linda Tafel, provost at National-Louis University's Chicago campus.

National-Louis, which started as a teaching college more than 100 years ago, graduates more than 700 teachers annually.

"Many universities are just now catching up with National in giving [student teachers] experience in the classroom early on," she said.

Many teaching colleges give student teachers little classroom experience until they are ready to graduate, a deficiency cited in a report from the American Council on Education. The report says student teachers typically have too little experience with youngsters before entering the profession, a poor grounding in liberal arts and weak content in their courses.

That report and others prompted teaching colleges to begin putting more emphasis on classroom performance four or five years ago, said Barbara Phillips, director of the school of education and certification officer at North Park University in Chicago.

North Park is a small liberal arts college that has partnerships with schools throughout the area to get even beginning student teachers into classrooms to work with experienced teachers and receive evaluations of their progress, Phillips said. The student teachers also do a lot of work to analyze

themselves.

"Students, instead of working in the field and just having us observe, also must write a unit, pretest the kids, teach them and do a post-test to show that learning has taken place," Phillips said. 'They analyze the best groups and worst groups and do individual analyses to determine what has worked. "[Teaching institutions generally] are redesigning programs not for courses but for competencies. We're changing from course-based to performance-based preparation."

Giving student teachers more real classroom experience before they enter the profession is taking on more importance in the wake of criticisms of the teaching profession.

"We must acknowledge the need for better partnerships with schools.

Schools have discovered they need more help in professional development," said Kristine Servais, clinical director for elementary education and early childhood at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb.

She said teaching institutions are doing more to team student teachers with experienced teachers, "a lot like what medical students have done for years. When student teachers are put in that real environment, that's where some of the best learning goes on."

The million-member American Federation of Teachers, based in Washington, D.C., welcomes such changes, said Jamie Horwitz, associate director of public affairs.

"We believe schools of education aren't doing their job," he said. "We think every teacher should have an academic major when in college. Training for teachers should be more than pedagogy. They should be able to pass a test that is more than basic literacy. They should be able to pass

a test on a wide body of knowledge."

Horwitz said the federation also supports "much higher grade-point averages [3.0 on a scale of 4.0] to enter a school of education." He also said he likes the approach National-Louis, North Park and some other teaching institutions are taking to give student teachers a lot

of classroom exposure before they graduate.

"We think a few weeks of student teaching is not enough to make people feel comfortable in a classroom," he said. "We think if we create something like a bar exam for teaching, make it a five-year program where student teachers spend a year in a paid internship,

we'd be able to raise the respect level for teachers and reduce the number of people who drop out of teaching. Twenty percent leave after three years and 50 percent after five years. We'd be a much larger organization if we were the Federation of Ex-teachers." •

HOROgeOPE5

BY DAVE THE GREAT, Staff Mystic ARIES : ( MARCH 21 - APRIL 19 ) The stars tell me that this will be a slow week for you, possibly because you will be chained to all those guys working by the side of the highway.

TAURUS : ( APRIL 20 - MAY 20 ) Keeping campus safety on your mind this week is a good idea, but I personally think building that 17-foot electric fence in front of your dorm is a bit much.

The stars show Cancer rising into Jupiter this week, with Sagittarius waning. I guess that means something, but I honestly have no clue what.

LEO : ( JULY 23 - AUG 22 ) uit hiding in the bushes outside my house with binoculars! Freak.

VIRGO : ( AUG 23 - SEPT 22 ) Whatever you will be doing this week must involve a party, because when I tried to tell your future, my crystal ball started slurring its words, calling me its "best friend" and hitting on my toaster oven. The next morning, it was really cranky.

LIBRA : ( SEPT 23 - OCT 23 ) Stop that before you hurt yourself.

SCORPIO : (OCT 24 - NOV 21) To accurately predict the future of all Scorpios, I stared at the stars for hours. It was possible to do this inside my apartment due to my broken leg and the various pills the doctors gave me for it. Apparently, your future will go all swirly and tingly this week, and everything will seem really funny.

SAGITARIUS : ( NOV 22 - DEC 21 ) Whatever you do, no matter what, under no circumstances should you go outside this week. I mean it, this is important. Wait, your name isn't "Jack?" Never mind then, just try to study or something this week.

CAPRICORN : (DEC 22 - JAN 19) Okay, if you are seriously contemplating moving to a mountaintop in some far-off country and shaving your head, try pledging a Greek house instead. It is pretty much the same thing, but you get cable.

Off-campus entertainment needed to prevent student boredom

BY BILLY O'KEEFE

College Press Reporter

I

ife doesn't always go according to plan, even if those plans are sketched out on a blueprint for everyone to see.

Take the historic Ludington Building. Located in Chicago's South Loop and owned by Columbia College since March 1999, the Ludington was earmarked one year ago as the school's next big thing. Students would finally enjoy all the luxuries — a game room, a food court, a performing arts area — that most universities and college towns take for granted.

Somewhere along the way, however, those plans faded away.

Sure, you can still play in the cutting-edge Book and Paper Arts Center, but it's not exactly the kind of game students had in mind. And while the Glass Curtain Café has ample seating and plenty of ambience, you better bring your own lunch or you'll go hungry. For student performances, the Hokin Center down the street, while very limited in facilities and capacity, is still the place to go.

For many schools around the country, the botched addition of yet another food court and yet another place for games wouldn't raise an eyebrow. But at Columbia, where 95 percent of students live off campus and a lack of facilities scares students all the way home once classes adjourn, the mood is that of a community in desperate need of some food to eat, some games to play — and someplace to go besides home.

Life at Columbia reflects that of the typical commuter college, which is anything but the typical college experience. For commuter students around the country, college isn't all about frat houses, marching bands and happy hours at the tavern. Rather, it's about train stations, car pools and rush hour on the expressway. Cab fares replace meal plans, gas cards become more important than fake IDs, and the only time you talk about Alpha or Beta is during your freshman science class.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Same school, right? In the words of the great Bart Simpson, "not bloody likely." True, the schools sound alike, and each boasts a full-time population of more than 10,000 (14,397 at Chapel Hill, 10,521 at Charlotte, according to U.S. News and World

Report). But while the Tar Heels ignite the scoreboard and light up the night on weekends, UNCCharlotte's campus barely even glows. In fact, most students don't even go home on the weekends, because they're already there: 72 percent of the student population lives off campus grounds.

The attitude in Charlotte is like that of most commuter schools: Get in, get the work done, and get the hell out before rush hour swallows you. And with so much of the student body adopting this routine, it becomes as much a tradition in some schools as pep rallies and point shaving does in others.

"UNC-Charlotte is what I would call a 'suitcase school,"' says Brad Burdick, a 29-year-old earth science major. "A good number go home on the weekends, which I don't understand. They're finally away from home, yet they choose to go back to their parents' house."

Of course, Burdick is no rogue.

"The only time I spend at school when I'm not in class is when I'm studying," he said.

Are UNC-Charlotte students a bunch of nerdy bookworms? Nope, and that's why they don't hang around. For students like Burdick, there's just nothing else to do here besides homework; very little entertainment is within walking distance of the school, and the most accessible clubs are a good drive away. What's more, few students are inclined to hang out at school all day just so they can go out at night, when they can do the same waiting at home and save thousands — a fortune in collegespeak — on the cost of a dorm.

Some students really don't mind.

"I'm here for a lot of reasons," said Columbia student Chris LaPelusa, 21. "Meeting people is possible, but it's not a big deal either way. I don't have time to hang around here anyway with my job."

But while the degree is still the thing, and attendance isn't exactly suffering — Columbia's student body is expected within the next few years to surpass 10,000 for the first time — most students still want more. And more they shall receive, as schools strive to offer road warriors more than a classroom and the occasional washroom experience.

For three years, Barry University (7,500 students, 750 of which live on campus, according to University Spokesman Joe McQuay) has hosted the monthly Commuter BBQ, a free lunchtime soiree for

students unblessed by a meal plan. combining forces with three other Columbia, in addition to the schools to build a $200 million Ludington Building, has acquired "super dorm" sometime within the four buildings in the past year alone next two years.

Many commuter students would and is working to bridge the gap between classwork, student agree that Columbia is on the right activities and the burgeoning track. A good college town entertainment in Chicago's South naturally needs a college, but it's Loop. And for those who would like the bonuses like bars, parks, a crisp view of Chicago's swanky restaurants, arcades and yes, housing State Street, the college is that complete the picture; student

organizations, sports and activities, safe bets as they are, aren't always enough.

"Try attending a basketball game on a Tuesday night," said former Barry student Aaron Krause, a firstyear graduate student at hoopscrazed Indiana University. "There may be about 12 students in the bleachers, and that's being optimistic." •

McGarry, is ready for seconds.

"Even in the Rocky movies, Rocky lost in the early rounds," McGarry said, referring to the smash movie that helped produced some of the band's biggest hits, including "Eye of the Tiger."

Walton, on the other hand, has had enough headaches.

A "Gervase wins the million!" banner on the Survivor Software Web site drew a stream of angry phone calls and vicious e-mails before being yanked at the company's request. The banner was a play on the July incident in which the show's official site, located at http://www.cbs.com/survivor, unintentionally hinted that castaway Gervase Peterson would win the contest.

Unfortunately, few got the joke, and the site has more or less bitten its lip since the backlash. Walton's message and a few links are all that remain.

Now that the show has ended its run, Walton has mixed feelings.

"My brush with fame was not like I had expected it would be," he told visitors the night after Hatch's victory. "It's like a load off my shoulders, and kind of depressing."

The brush may not be over yet, however. An all-new dose of "Survivor," set this time in Australia, kicks off after the Super Bowl. •
