SafeAudio device may impede CD copying

ajor record labels have begun testing SafeAudio, a new product designed to prevent music piracy, throughout Europe and the United States.

Hillary Rosen, president and CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), said, "Many in the music community are concerned about the continued use of CD-Rs.

he Sept.11 attacks have most Americans in favor of seeking justice. The problem is, some also want to be the judge and jury.

We should let the government determine guilt and proper punshments. President George W. Bush has promised to hunt down those responsible. Civilians doing the same is its own form of terrorism.

Some people have taken it upon themselves to seek justice based on either skin color or religious ideology.

These vigilantes will soon force people into believing they need to carry a gun and fear every stranger.

If America vows to stop terrorism, then it must begin on our home soil.

Those wishing to terrorize America will win if we cannot see America is not about color or religion, but rather, about wanting to be free.

Many countries have suffered from these types of attacks, and some have given in to the threats by forcing people to go through several check

points just to go the store.

Is this the type of freedom we want here?

We will have increased security for travel and federal buiildings, but the thought of wearing a holster and a pair of six shooters just feel safe is unacceptable.

America was built on diversity and has prospered based on that principle.

Let us as American citizens not forget that. •

LETTERS UCOSA President Downs urges student tolerance

Cornell graduate denounces violence in reaction to terrorist attack on U.S.

here were you when the 21st century arrived, nine months and 11 days late?

Tuesday, war was declared on the United States and the madmen who engineered these acts do not characterize any part of humanity. As these tragedies unfold, we must be concerned with the impact on us as students, as family members and as natives of many nations.

An old proverb says, "revenge is a dish best served cold." Revenge is not the United States' objective — justice is. We must maintain our racial and religious tolerance and realize that to preserve our own freedom, we must ac responsibly in helping others to win theirs.

or the students, whose minds have historically been open, and whose voices we've historically listened to ...

I'm an American today. I'm tired of hearing 'inescapable conclusions' and that we must `exact retribution.' I'm tired of hearing how we can 'emerge triumphant' by striking back in further acts of terrible violence.

I'm tired of the anger in which we wallow, where clear-headedness might buoy us up. I'm tired of our unwillingness to understand the `why' behind such tragedies as Tuesday's events. How far are we willing to go in the misguided path of revenge? How many more times must we submit to hate, and thereby perpetuate violence that does not grow worse by mere coincedence?

As a community we condemn violence and terrorism in all its forms. These acts make the realization of vulnerability an image all too surreal. However, the words of our national anthem are a blanket of support for the tragic loss of American spirit, "...the land of the free and the home of the brave."

I encourage the entire UCO community to reach out and respond to the many helpless victims in our country.

Whether it is through donation or prayer, let us as Oklahomans set the example to a lesson we have already endured.

FBI: Cooperation expected in investigation continued from page 1 "The director of the FBI said yesterday that there are four thousand FBI agents working on this case. We only have about eleven thousand FBI agents in the world, and if we need eleven thousand agents to solve it they will be on it. It is very important that we solve this case," Marquise said.

Marquise went on to explain the psychological impact of the media's reporting about the terrorist acts.

"The media is reporting everything about everybody and unfortunately people are going to get worked up into a hysteria.

Watching those airplanes go into the World Trade Center is probably the most psychologically damaging thing that has ever happened to the people of this country," Marquise said.

He went on to explain that

"press reporting is where we get quite a lot of our information."

Marquise believes that the FBI's work on the Pan Am flight 103 case revolutionized international intelligence investigations.

"For the first time in history intelligence agents and law enforcement officers were working together internationally at exchanging information, intelligence, and sources.

Intelligence agencies around the world refer to it as the Lockerbie model."

When asked about the investigation, Marquise said, "I think that we are going to see unprecedented cooperation because of the horrific nature of these acts."

"I have great confidence in your government and the people that represent you around the world." •

Deadline for Fulbright drawing close

BY DANIEL HOLDGE Staff Writer

I

he deadline for the Fulbright Student Program, a graduate studies and research abroad grant, is Oct. 16.

The Fulbright Programs mission statement is to increase understanding between people of the United States and other countries through an exchange of knowledge and skills.

The Fulbright Student Program offers full grants to students across the United States to study in foreign countries. The Fullbright grant will be given to only 973 students for the 2002-2003 academic year.

UCO Fulbright advisors, Dr. Siegfried Heit, professor of humanities and philosophy, and Dr. Amy Carrell, associate English professor, said this is for serious students only.

"The students must know their career goals, why they chose the

country and how it will strengthen their life. They should also know what university they want to study at in that country and why they want to go there."

Heft said.

They said before being considered students must have a bachelor's degree, be an American citizen and fill out an application.

Heit and Carrell assist students in filling out their application by giving advice to improve it. After the Oct. 16 deadline, Heit and Carrell go through a screening process and judge if the student is qualified for this grant. The application is then sent to New York by Oct. 25 for the for the final selection process.

"As few as two and as many as 10 to 11 are actually sent to New York per year, and only one student has ever made it through the final screening and gone overseas," Heft said.

In 1998, Theresa Little was the only UCO student to receive the

Fulbright grant.

There are several types of grants given including full grants, which include round trip travel, living expenses and tuition waivers. The travel grants only cover round trip air travel.

"The Fulbright is an honor that puts people in a different class. It is a distinctive honor," said Carrell.

The students that are accepted leave somewhere between August and October, depending on when that country's academic year begins.

Carrell said the students that study overseas are special in many ways.

"Fulbright students truly are ambassadors of American culture."

For more information, contact Dr. Heit at sheit@ucok.edu or Dr. Carrell at acarrell@ucok.edu Information packets are also available in the offices of the Liberal Arts building. •

former UCO student has been missing from Oklahoma City Community College (OKCCC) since Aug. 20.

Mayuko Kawase, an international student from Japan has not been seen since the first day of classes, said Ashley Martin, staff writer for Thq Pioneer, the OKCCC student newspaper.

Brenda Paine, a student of OKCCC and friend of Kawase, drove her to and from school on Mondays, Wednesdays and

Fridays. Paine filed a missing person's report Aug. 27. Paine was the last to see her after dropping her off Monday, Aug. 20, Martin said.

Kawase's mother in Japan contacted the Oklahoma City Police Aug. 26. Paine met with police at Kawase's apartment.

Several faxes were on her fax machine indicating she had not been home, officer's reported.

Kawase's school bag was also found missing from her apartment.

Kawase's bank transactions were tracked and on Aug. 21, a

transaction for $84.84 was posted and one on Aug. 23, for $105.29.

Both transactions were from the Bank of Oklahoma in the Albertson's Store on 7000 S. May Ave. Kawase began studying at OKCCC in the Spring 2001 semester. She attended UCO in the Fall 2000 semester.

Dr. Terry Clark Professor and chair, journalism

on't go to college.... Yep, that's what Ernest Hemingway and Ray Bradbury would tell you.

Why? They'd tell you that education, that learning, comes from doing, from living, from a passion for experience.

OK, so they were speaking about want-to-be writers, but those words touch truth for any students at UCO. There are more important things in life — and education

D

— than transcripts and grades and a multitude of courses. Your life and times at UCO are just as important to your learning.

Why are you here?

To get prepared for something. In a world that is changing faster than the latest computer software, the courses you take and your experiences here are critical in preparing you to be able to adapt.

Any formal fact knowledge you gain here may be obsolete in ten or five or fewer years. If you don't learn how to apply what you learn, how to think for yourself, you're wasting your time at UCO. Yes, we're mavericks in journalism who think doing is better than degrees, and degrees are valuable primarily in opening doors of knowledge and opportunity. We try to hire only teachers with experience in living because we know that our students need to learn from the best. That sometimes puts us out of step with many academics and sometimes pretentious academic requirements. Did you know for instance, that Dan Rather couldn't be a full professor here, because he doesn't have the "doctor's degree"? At a major university, he'd be accorded full faculty status. Here, he'd be an

instructor of communication.

The same would be true of Clark Terry (No relation) in music, or Pulitizer Prize historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. (although a full prof at Harvard), or Pulitizer Prize winner Rick Bragg of the New York Times (who has one semester of college), or Thomas Jefferson, in any discipline.

That said, UCO's faculty provides the best educational opportunity in Oklahoma for you, because of their quality programs and in spite of being cheated when it comes to allocation of state funds (you just aren't worth what OU students are, according to the legislature).

UCO's excellence is built on good teachers — most of whom are excellent not because of degrees — but because of what they've accomplished in their fields. With one other critical ingredient — passion of what they do and for students.

So here's my checklist for what you need to really learn here.

• Passion — care about what you're doing; get excited!

• Forget the grades — just learn and the grades will take care of themselves.

• ShoW up, on time, and be courteous — that counts for more than an "A" in the real world.

• Life isn't fair—don't expect it to be, and when it's not, get over it.

• Take advantage of all opportunities you have here; your education is up to you.

UCO only provides the opportunity. Sleeping in class or cutting class or being bored is your fault and cheats only you.

• Get involved in a cause. For instance, demand that your legislators treat you fairly by allocating a fair share of funds to UCO. • Understand that most of the world is average — if you want to be average, there will be plenty of jobs at fast food places and as Wal-Mart greeters.

• If you want to succeed however, make your mind up to excel and have fun.

• If a prof thinks he's always right, he's wrong. Challenge everything, even this column — then you're thinking for yourself and really "going to college."

The "My Turn" column is written by UCO personalities and represents the views of the author, not necessarily those of The Vista staff. "My Turn" appears in every Tuesday issue. For information on submitting a column, call 974-5569.

"We didn't do a good job tackling and let them control the line of scrimmage."We can't keep giving up plays like that and expect to win and we've also got to do a better job running the football.

With the crashing of planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the Pennsylvania countryside the United States changed forever. And so did the sports world.

The sports world was brought to a halt as was most of the

country. Major League Baseball (MLB) quickly postponed all games through Sunday.

"We can't have a stadium full of people having fun because that is not what this is about now," said Fernando Vina of the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Professional Golfers Association (PGA) canceled four events throughout the country.

This was the first time in five years the PGA had canceled an event.

The National Football League (NFL), after days of debate, finally canceled week two of the season. In 1963, the NFL chose to play just two days after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The commissioner, at the time, later regretted his decision.

The National Hockey League journey home to a city in (NHL) called off 12 games, mourning.

The NFL's players union is meeting to come up with a plan of action to help victims of the tragedy. Many other organizations are doing the same.d Now in the wake of the disaster the nation must unite as one team and prepare to take on its toughest opponent ever, terrorism. The goal is simple, freedom without fear. •

Summer internship gives UCO student first-hand look at medical field

BY LAURA BELLO

Staff Writer

W

hile many students spend their summer holiday working more traditional jobs, one UCO student spent his summer in a hospital operation room assisting in heart surgery.

Biology senior Patrick Horn spent eight weeks interning at Deaconess Hospital's Summer Pre-Med Program. Horn was one of four students selected to participate. The other students were from Southwestern University and the University of Oklahoma.

The program exposes premed students to patient care, medicine and Deaconess Hospital through observation, clinical application and educational activities.

Pam Faust, director of physician services at

Deaconess Hospital said, "The focus of the program is to prepare students for medical school."

In the last five years, the program has become more selective, Faust said. They used to accept most students that were interested in health care. Now they only select students that are serious about attending medical school.

They also look at the student's GPA, seniority, and MCAT scores.

The students are hired as hospital employees, which allows them access to every aspect of the hospital and interaction with patients.

The program was divided into rotations that lasted from two days to a week.

Horn spent time working with the emergency room, as well as physician services, radiology, minor procedures

(endoscopy), rehabilitation, progressive care, wound care, pathology lab, psychiatry/senior care, surgery, cardiopulmonary and urology.

His shifts were from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. In the morning, he reported to the director of the department and they told him where to go according to what PHOTO PROVIDED was happening that Senior biology major Patrick Horn spent this summer interning at Deaconess day at the hospital.

PRE-MED: Horn suggests volunteering

continued from page 10 Horn said an advantage to working with this program was that he was not just observing, but he received first-hand patient care experience.

Faust said one goal of the program is to prepare students for their medical school entrance interview. Horn had lunch with a staff physician that sits on the admissions board at OU medical school.

"He shared with me how to conduct myself during an interview [for medical school admissions]. He told me exactly how to prepare, what they like and don't like during the interview," Horn said.

Horn will apply for medical school next fall at OU. Working for a hospital brings reality to what the textbook could only try to explain when it comes to dealing with patients and stress.

"A textbook can't tell you how to deal with a patient directly. All patients react differently; you have to keep an open mind. You are

dealing with people from different backgrounds and races. You have to be sensitive and compassionate. At Deaconess, they stress that we should treat all patients as if they are our family members," he said.

"The hospital calls you to put things into action. They test to see if you are medical school material," he said.

His advice for pre-med students is that they volunteer at health care settings as soon as possible.

"You must have patient care experience before applying to medical school. I know some students that were not accepted because they had never worked with patients.

Being a doctor is more than just going to med.-school," Horn said.

Students interested in this program can call Pam Faust at 604-4242. •

Thatcher Hall is home to the Edmond Language Institute (ELI), where many international students can brush up on their English skills before beginning classes at UCO.

In an age of technology, it's hard to make sure the Fair Use Act is enforced, but you've got to give the consumer the benefit of the doubt."

Matt Fondren, sophomore music major, said, "I don't care, I can get my music from the internet anyway."

UCO art professor displays work at Omniplex museum

art professor has an exhibit now showing at the Kirkpatrick Gallery at Omniplex through Oct: 2 inspired by impressions he has collected throughout his lifetime. , Dr. Bob Cromer, director of

A

art education, has 31 pieces on display in his exhibit, Linkage: Works in Fiber. Nineteen are wall pieces, while 12 are 3dimensiaional.

"These impressions emanate from cultures with which I associated while growing up in Indiana, as well as those to which I have been exposed through education and travel,

he said Cromer's art is mostly mixed media, specifically working with fiber.

"It's the process of surface design where the original color of fabric is removed by the process of taking color out of existing fabric. For most of my pieces; I used household bleach, once I reach the color I

want to get, I soak it with a hose to stop the bleaching action, then I run it through the dryer. Sometimes I add paint or some other fabric to a piece," Cromer said.

The wall pieces have traces of Amish influences that he was exposed as a child raised in Indiana.

"I made no attempt to copy the Amish or anything else.

But as an artist, you bring your own set of personal experiences to the art. These experiences are woven into who you are," Cromer said.

He named one of his pieces Shipshawana, after an Amish community. The idea came from memories of driving to auctions and seeing the Amish women selling baked goods on the sides of the highway.

His 12 pedestal pieces consist of synthetic cotton that he has learned to sculpt and mold.

"All my pedestal pieces are from the history of the craft.

Some are baskets or other tools that aren't used in contemporary times. I cross the line between art and craft," he said.

In his second year teaching at UCO, he said he has been able to both teach and have time for his art.

"I've met students that want to be art teachers, thinking they will not be making art, but I know I am a better artist because I teach. I learn things as my students learn," Cromer said.

Tactile Connection, one of the pieces on display by Dr. Bob Cromer at the Omniplex through Oct. 2.

Cromer has been an artist all life.

"I can't remember not making art. My brother is an art education teacher at a universityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it's a direct reflection of my family's encouragement and good school systems."

Cromer rarely sells his artwork. He said as a teacher he only works on one-of-a-kind pieces that he keeps for his collection, instead of spending time creating small projects, in an attempt to earn a living from his art alone.

He said that making art is a form of research, just a different language.

"Visual language is more universal than the written and spoken one." â&#x20AC;˘

Stress, depression typical culprits of eating disorders say experts

BY SARAH BLOUNT

Staff Writer

A

ccording to a 10-year study by the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, 46 percent of reported eating disorders are patients between the ages of 16 and 20.

UCO students who know someone suffering from anorexia, bulimia, or compulsive overeating may feel confused and think they can't offer any help.

People who suffer from these eating disorders require professional care, but there are many organizations, websites and literature that offer advice for friends who want to help and give support.

"New college students] move from a structured environment to one where they have to learn to structure and manage their own time. That can stress them and throw them into an eating disorder," said Janis Chapel,

outreach and counseling behaviors are only a symptom to coordinator of UCO Counseling emotional and stress related Services. problems.

in the way of helping your friend find help.

5. Be aware of your own behaviors and don't take on the job of protecting someone who is in trouble with food and weight problems.

6. Don't limit your friendship to talking about problems and eating disorders. Talk to your friend about other important things.

7. Avoid becoming the "Food Police." Don't try to monitor their weight or food intake.

8. If you are the type of person who is always trying to help your friends then you may need to talk to someone, too. Feeling responsible for others can make you feel drained and resentful.

UCO students can go to the Student Counseling Center located in University Center, room 402, for anonymous support and treatment.

Treatment at the Counseling Center includes a psychological evaluation and referral to a nutritionist at the Student Health

Center.

"We encourage people to come to counseling if they have an eating disorder," Chapel said, "the sooner we identify the problem, the easier it is to cure."

International dance instructor attracts students to learn

BY LAURA BELLO

Staff Writer

4 6 tend to bring a dose of

energy to the class," said international choreographer and dancer, John Mead. Mead taught a master technique class on modern dance from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 8 at the Health & Physical Education building.

The class was open to anyone and over 40 people attended.

"When the students arrive, they stretch and warm up. I give set movements and show them how to do it correctly," Mead said.

Mead emphasized the importance of learning proper technique.

"A lot of teachers injure studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;they need to understand basic anatomy and kinesiology," he said.

After a student has mastered a technique he encourages them to familiarize themselves with their physiology.

"Technique supercedes art. Just because they can copy my movement doesn't mean they are dancing. I try to help students get beyond themselves, forget they are afraid, do something they didn't

know they could do," Mead said.

Junior dance student, Steven Dillon, said the session helped him to be more open to new techniques while dancing.

"I learned from Mead to be more open about movement, even if I am not comfortable with it," Dillon said.

When teaching short sessions, Mead said he doesn't plan too much.

"Even if I teach the same [material], every class is different because there are different dancers.

I always go prepared, but I have to be sensitive to the class.

Sometimes I improvise new stuff on the spot," Mead said.

Dillon said some advantages to bringing a guest choreographer to UCO is that they have high standards.

"Since he's [Mead] had experience with big dance companies, his expectations were higher than you would find in college work," Dillon said.

Formerly a professor at New York University (NYU), Mead travels both nationally and internationally as a freelance choreographer and is a student at the University of Utah in their graduate film program.

He said he likes to travel so that

he can receive new input.

Most dancers begin to dance at a young age, however; this is not the case for Mead.

"In high school I played football, baseball, track, and in college I was interested in the martial arts," Mead said.

While practicing his marital arts, a friend noticed how beautiful his technique was and invited him attend her dance class. Mead had taken a few dance classes in college, but after her dance class, he was hooked.

He attended the University of Utah and received a degree in dance. From there he joined the Tandy Beal Dance Company in California for two seasons, then he joined the Repertory Dance Theatre in Salt Lake City for six years.

Mead decided to quit dancing for companies and begin choreographing. In 1988, he competed in the Bejart Ballet Lausanne in Lausanne, Switzerland and won. He then taught as a guest teacher in Switzerland.

Since then, he has traveled to Asia and Europe teaching classes and choreography.

Mead said dance is standardized all over the world.

"In different countries dance is a

universal language. I can go anywhere in the world and teach a ballet class;" he said.

He advises young dancers that want to pursue dance as a career to think seriously about why they are dancing.

"If they really love to dance,

then they will have a wonderful life. It is not a light decision," he said. â&#x20AC;˘
