Censorship or freedom: What should it be? "I don't think they should be censored." —ROCKY CAMPBELL junior actuarial science major
"I think you should have access to just about anything you want, within reason." —NIGEL WOODBERRY media center
"Depends on the library."
"I don't agree with it"
C
ensorship undermines the most fundamental philosophy of America — freedom. Those fighting to remove books from libraries based on their version of morality might prefer to live in a Communist country where censorship is practiced routinely. They would prefer a cookie-cutter nation where everyone thinks and acts alike. Freedom of expression does not require someone to view disturbing
material. One might occasionally read an offensive book, just-like one might order something at a restaurant that is unpalatable. John Milton said if truth and falsehood grapple in an open marketplace of ideas, truth will win. The truth is censorship is a manipulative attempt by little minds to keep everyone else's mind little. So who determines what is to be read or viewed?
Our founding fathers were wise enough to know that no one person is qualified to represent the diverse ideology and interests of our nation. Books written for a particular time are glimpses into history. A genre might be art for one person, obscene to another and a teaching tool to a third. Censorship keeps power in the hands of the few. This is intolerable in our democracy. •

find your September 11 editorial, Financial Success No Roll of the Dice, laughable. Obviously, you have not done your homework. There are vehicles for wealth creation. If you had read Richard Poe's book, Wave 4, Robert Allen's book, Multiple Streams of Income, Dr. Charles King's book, The New Professionals, or Robert Kiyosaki's new book, Rich Dad's Business School for People Who Like Helping People, you would know there are alternatives to "getting a good education to get a good job." Dr. Charles King, a marketing professor at the University of Illinois Chicago, has taught his students about the power of network marketing since 1991. Network marketing is a $25 billion 55-year-old industry in the U.S. — $86 billion worldwide. Over 10 million distributors are involved in the
U.S. — 37 million worldwide. More and more professionals are getting involved, because network marketing is becoming more credible and has grown into one of the driving forces of our economy. Network marketing is simply a channel for product distribution; in fact, it is one of the most efficient ways to get products from the manufacturer to consumers. Billionaire J. Paul Getty once said, "I would rather have one percent of my own efforts." As Richard Poe explains, "No one person has the time or energy to build a successful business on his own. An entrepreneur's success is tied directly to the amount of leverage he can bring to bear. That's where network marketing comes in. It is a system specifically crafted to give ordinary people access to extraordinary leverage' and
extraordinary income. Because of the Internet, network marketing has changed in the 1990s. To start your own business does not take thousands like franchising (the average franchise is over $80,000). Startup costs are low; there is no paperwork, no delivering of products, and you can do business all over the world 24 hours a day. You cannot out dream network marketing. I studied it and knew I would rather work hard for three to five years and be financially free than work for someone else for 45 years making them rich. Next time you write an editorial, do your homework!

I
am sorely disappointed in The Vista that they would choose to print the Sept. 11, 2001 front-page article entitled, "Imam discusses homosexuality during MSA lecture." Surly organizations on campus should be promoting tolerance. Had another organization on campus held an event to prove their ignorance and misunderstanding of any other recognized minority, I am quite sure they would not have been honored with the front page of your paper. What started out as a report on a meeting of the Muslim Student Association on the theme, "Islam and Homosexuality: Conflicting Views," ended up in a comedic tirade by so-called Imam Webb that bordered on an incitement to Gay Bash. Whether it be those who
thump the Bible or Qur'an, I am always troubled when a selfappointed spokesperson sets themselves up as an authority, especially on the complicated issue as to whether being Gay is genetic or not. I would very much like to see Imam Webb's credentials that qualify him as agenetics expert. Shame on the VISTA for printing such gobbledygook. If Minister Webb, or any other self styled hypocritical riff raff want to spout out their hate and intolerance, let them do it somewhere else. We at UCO are living in the 21st Century, not the Middle Ages. James Marshall Lowry History Education Major

"It's a great loss. People with expertise about the stock market, that know it and all the 'ins and outs,' are gone," Sasser said. She said the most important thing is for people to remain calm and not panic. "When people panic they make lots of foolish choices that create problems for everyone."

Journalism department receives grant
BOOKS: To ban or not to ban? continued from page 1 Age-inappropriate books are sometimes relocated, but she has never recalled a book actually being removed from the shelf. Patrons wishing to issue a challenge are encouraged to complete a form including the name, type of material and comments on the material. They may also offer suggestions for library material they would like to see. The material and complaint forms are then sent to the Materials Selection Department for the Metropolitan Library_ System. The material is reviewed, re-evaluated and submitted for final review by the executive director. According to the Materials Selection Department, each person who issues a challenge receives a written reply, explaining how and why the material in question was selected and why they choose to keep it in the library system. In August, the Muskogee, Okla. public school system remove.d To Kill a Mockingbird from its required freshman reading list. According to Principal Terry Saul, the book was pulled because educators believed it might create an uncomfortable environment. Historically, other classic literature like Huckleberry Finn has been the target of censorship. This type of challenge stems from various concerns, including
failure to be politically correct and inappropriateness for intended age group. Bays defends these books and their content, explaining their important role in public education. "I feel if we whitewash the way life used to be, the way they used horrible words and phrases, we have the possibility of going back to that mindset. It reminds us of where we've been." Banned Books Week is a forum of ideas, and is not limited to books. Videos, magazines, tapes and the Internet are also censored each year, ranging from children's literature to adult material. Another major concern for libraries is limitation of Internet access. Bonnie McNeely, executive director of UCO Chambers Library, said exposure to pornographic material has become a difficult area. "Internet filtering limits access to sites based on terminology, but it might limit medical information as well." Both Bays and McNeely said they appreciate Banned Books Week for the opportunity to highlight classic books that many people are not aware have been challenged. "I'm excited about Banned Books Week," Bays said, "and the opportunity to let people know not to take their freedom to read for granted." •

UCO is one of four universities in the U.S. and Europe to offer the course and is taught by Dr. Kole Kleeman, associate professor of Journalism. "Journalists have a bad reputation for the way they approach victims. Our goal is to develop a sensitivity to the victims, to help the situation, not revictimize," he said. Victims and the Media teaches an aspect of journalism seldom addressed separately. The course is designed to train journalists in interviewing victims and prepare them for traumatic effects the victims may have encountered. Kleeman is writing an institutional manual for the course. Students enrolled in his class are working to submit articles for the manual. , Sarah Miller, `junior advertising major, compared two articles of criminal content chosen from The New York Times and USA Today.

SPORTS America's pastime resumes BY SHARON ROWEN Sports Writer
M
ajor League Baseball returned to the field Monday night for the first time since Tuesday's terrorist attacks. Play resumed with six National League games held in Montreal, Philadelphia, Denver, Los Angeles, St. Louis and Pittsburgh. Patriotism was on display around the league with teams proudly wearing the American Flag on their jerseys including the Montreal Expos, a Canadian based franchise. The chants of USA could be heard throughout the games, and fans held up signs showing their support, for their country. Many stadiums handed American flags out to fans, which waved them proudly. In St. Louis the crowd was treated to a 20 minute tribute, saluting fire fighters and police officers, The ceremony included a tear jerking video to Lee Greenwood's hit God Bless the USA, a poem by long time Cardinal announcer Jack Buck that referred to terrorism as a "cowardly foe." A twenty-one
gun salute topped off the ceremony. The New York Mets traveled to Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates in a game that was originally scheduled to be played at Shea Stadium in New York. Mets players found themselves showing photo ID before being allowed to enter the stadium. Once allowed in, the Mets took part in the pre-game tribute by wearing New York Fire Department caps. Native New Yorker and long time relief pitcher, John Franco, also wore a FDNY jacket after recording his sixth victory of the season. Security at all stadiums was tight. Bags of all shapes and sizes were searched; some were not even allowed in. In Philadelphia and Los Angeles, K9 Units checked the stadiums for potential explosive devices before the games. Baseball fans seemed to be okay with the tighter security and the slow moving lines. As baseball and America begins to resume a semi-normal life, President's Bush's prayer seemed to come true, for it seems God truly has blessed America.♌
SPORTS BRIEFS Lone Star Players of the Week
Soccer: Kim Brown, junior forward for the Bronchos soccer team, was named Lone Star Conference Offensive Player of the Week Tuesday September 11th for her performance at the Dr. Pepper Classic. The Norman native scored two goals in the victory over Oklahoma Christian, and three goals in the victory over St. Gregory's. It was the second time in three weeks that Brown had received the honor. Her freshman year, Brown picked up first team All-LSC honors and league freshman of the year accolades. In her sophomore year, Brown once again earned first team All-Lone Star Conferencing second-team All Great Plains Region recognition. Brown is a biology major with dreams of becoming a doctor. Two days after receiving the award, Brown and the Bronchos traveled to San Antonio to take on Incarnate Word and St Mary's. The Bronchos fell to Incarnate Word 3-1 with Gina Mix scoring the only goal. The Bronchos bounced back in the next match downing St. Mary's 3-2. UCO is now 5-2 on the season. The Bronchos host St. Edward's Friday September 21st at 3p.m.
Volleyball: Central Oklahoma swept volleyball honors in the Lone Star Conference North Division on Monday as Katy Wallace was named Hitter of the Week and Stacy Meek Setter/defensive Player of the Week. That duo helped lead the Bronchos to a trio of three-game sweeps last week, including back-toback road LSC North Division wins over Midwestern State and Texas Woman's last Friday and Saturday. Wallace, a 5-10 junior middle blocker from Lewisville, Texas, hit .622 in UCO's three matches last week with 30 kills and just two errors in 45 attacks. She added 26 digs, eight total blocks and four service aces and highlighted her week with a 12kill, no-error performance against Midwestern State. Meek, a 5-7 sophomore setter from Tulsa, averaged 14.2 assists a game in UCO' s 3-0 week. She also had 15 digs, five total blocks and one ace for the Bronchos. UCO, now 12-4 overall and 2-0 in the LSC North Division, goes to Abilene Christian and Angelo State this weekend to end a month-long, 14-match road-swing. -From Staff Reports

"We want all UCO organizations and students coming together and sending the donations off as a whole UCO community," said UCOSA President Brian Downs.

"Our number one goal is to get everyone out of the building and then address the problem," Fitzgerald said. The fire alarm has become a normal sound and most people don't think it's serious, Fitzgerald said. "It's like car alarms. At first, when one went off everyone reacted. Now no one thinks twice when they hear it," he said. Powers said they plan on doing more fire drills in most buildings on campus to get people educated on how to evacuate quickly. "People have the tendency to think that if they don't see danger, then they're not in danger," Powers said. "But it could be above them, below them or in the walls and it is serious." •

Students, faculty attend roundtable discussion on terrorism BY LAURA BELLO

The political science professors that shared were Dr. Randall Jones, Dr. Loren Gatch, Dr. Husam Mohamad, Dr. Don Betz, vicepresident of academic affairs and Dr. Louis Furmanski, chairperson of the political science department. They spoke on political and economical outcomes from Tuesday's attack as well as predicted social implications for our nation. The panel said at this point, there is little solid information and they do not want to speculate without all the facts, but the purpose was to answer questions of what happened and why. Jones said intelligence has two objectives: to gather information, and undertaking covert operations against.future attacks. The attack was a massive intelligence failure. A lot of money has been spent on preparing for high-tech attacks and not on simpler attacks, he said.

Political science professor Dr. Husam Mohamad and vice-president of academic affairs Dr. Don Betz were part of a Sept. 14 roundtable discussion concerning recent terrorist attacks.
"The terrorists did not do the Middle East a favor." Furmanski said we learned we do not need the high-tech toys to do a lot of damage. Attention in the past has been to protect against biological warfare, but now we need to focus on simpler attacks. He said the U.S. never acknowledged its vulnerability as a society. "We live in a global society. We have to wake-up to that fact and react accordingly," he said. He suggested America seek multi-lateral support from our allies

and consider international courts when prosecuting future terrorists. He said this might not be necessary with Osama bin Laden. However, if more terrorists are uncovered, then international courts may be beneficial. "This was a crime against humanity, not the United States alone," he said. Betz, a Middle East expert, said we need to invest in learning about relating to other countries and cultures. People also need to become educated about where they live and be active by voting, attending forums and following-up on issues. "We are in fact a part of this world. We aren't going to become isolated. We need to find our place in the world with a new sense of purpose and reality," Betz said. One student asked the panel, "What civil liberties do you see us having to sacrifice?" The panel responded by saying that at first, security will increase and the government may have more access to private information, but in the long run, they did not predict a significant change. Another student asked how intelligence could avoid double agents in the future. The panel said this is always a possibility, but there are methods such as lie detector tests and psychological profiles. According to the panel, this event has changed the United States forever. "We have a new marking point on our calendar — before the attack and after," Betz said. •

Campaign focuses on recovery BY DANIEL HOLDGE
Staff Writer
S
eptember is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery, a campaign spotlighting the benefits of substance abuse treatments. This year's theme, "We Recover Together: Family, Friends and Community," denotes how important support is to recovering people. In Oklahoma, close to 130,000 adults need treatment for alcoholism and another 21,000 need treatment of other types of drug addiction, according to the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. According to the Department of Public Safety (DPS) Assistant Chief Ted Jones, there are 30-50 alcohol-related incidents on campus per calendar year. One campus organization involving alcohol awareness is Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning Health of University Students (BACCHUS). Misha Mowdy, BACCHUS sponsor and nurse at the Student Health Center, said the program is
directed towards helping students become more aware of how alcohol affects them. On Oct. 23-26, BACCHUS will help direct Alcohol Awareness Week at UCO. Events include a movie night, sports day, quiz ball, and a dance. "At all the functions, brochures and information will be available about alcohol and how it effects each person," Mowdy said. At the functions, students will also be shown how to mix drinks without involving alcohol, she said. Mowdy also teaches Alcohol 101 to classes that ask her to speak about alcohol abuse. This onehour teaching from a CD-ROM walks students through situations and shows how much alcohol affect each person individually after so many drinks. "It shows students how alcohol affects students psychologically, mentally and financially," Mowdy said. Another student organization is Tomorrows Alcohol and Drug Counselors of America (TADCA). President Michelle Manuel said one of the services TADCA does
is a Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner at the House of Life, a juvenile recovery center in Arcadia. On Oct. 2, a repeat performance of Substance Abuse Awareness Workshop will be given in the Pegasus Theatre. Speakers include Mark Woodward, from the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs and JoAnn Bronstad, the head of Oklahoma drug court, Manuel said. TADCA will also be involved with Alcohol Awareness week, passing out buttons, posters and pamphlets around campus on the effects of alcohol. Alcoholic's Anonymous also meets at the Wesley Foundation, a United Methodist outreach, at 311 E. Hurd, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from noon-1 p.m. "The point of this month is to get the word out about substance abuse and get people involved in changing it," said Pam McKeown, public information officer of the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. •

Flight school students face charges for visa violations BY JAYNA NOLEY AND BRAD PEMBERTON
Editorial Staff

n Sept. 14, four Saudi Arabian men were arrested by Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) officers and booked into the Oklahoma County Jail on an out of status charge. They were later released on a $10,000 bond. According to Virginia Woods, an INS detention and removal official, the men were issued the out of status charge because they were attending school on the wrong visa. Haitham Ahmad, 24, Jamil Alsluaimani, 22, Ahmed Mahar, 20, Abdulra Alghandi, 23, and Matar Alsawas, 21, are enrolled at the Pinnacle Flight Academy
located at Wiley Post Airport. The men first visited America five months ago under a tourist visa, but decided to stay and attend flight school. "We have atourist visa and we are all students. If we want to stay, we have to change out visa," Alsawas said. "I have never been to jail in my life, in my country or here," Alsawas said. " I didn't know we had to change our visa." Dr. Ron Paddack, UCO's director of international student services, said there are many incidents that could move a student out of status. Some include working illegally, not taking enough hours, or attending a school other than the one that brought them to the United

Over 150 attend Festival BY MICHAEL LARSON
Staff Writer
0
ver 150 people gathered Sept. 14 for UCO's first celebration of Children's Moonlight Festival by Broncho Lake. The event, organized by UCO's Asian American Student Association (AASA), featured different kinds of dance and a demonstration of Akido, a Japanese martial art. "We had more acts, but some of them canceled because of what happened on the 11th," said Samantha Vu, AASA vice president and senior chemical health science major. "We thought it would be really good to get the children of Edmond out here and away from this week's sad news," Vu said. Yin Hwee Chua, a freshman studying psychology, served as one of the event's master of ceremonies, and highlighted the festival's history. The traditional festival stems back to 1276, when Mongolia spread its empire throughout China. The Mongolians prohibited communication between their Chinese subjects, so the Chinese hid messages inside moon cakes and passed them among one another. The Chinese hid weapons inside their paper lanterns and lead a successful revolt against their invaders. The Dragon Dance had two members wearing an ornate dragon costume, executing a choreographed dance to a drummer's beat. Loan Ngyen, a senior at Westmore High School, represented the Giac Quang Temple in Oklahoma City, and performed the Dragon Dance with other members from her Buddhist youth group. "We've been doing this for seven or eight years, every year around New Years or Moonlight Festival," she said. For the evening's final activity, bags of candy were handed out to children present, and lanterns were fashioned from glow sticks and wax paper kits as tribute to the Chinese uprising. Children and parents lined up and followed the dragon around
the courtyard in noisy celebration. "We want students to see how different Asian cultures are from one another, so that we aren't all slumped into one group," Chau said. The organization was formed during the 1999 fall semester. "This is the first year we've been active," said Tray-c Duong, AASA's president and a business management sophomore. Duong is a member of East Meets West, a group that danced to modern music in the festival,
and also performed the traditional Moon Dance. Chau said, "We want to get more 'of the Asian population involved in campus activities, especially international students. We want to let people around campus see our culture; see something other than everyday American things." The AASA will hold an open meeting 4 p.m. Sept. 20 in the Campus Life meeting room on the fourth floor of the University Center. â&#x20AC;˘

Box Office Round-up Compiled by Vista Staff
Rockstar
Rated R
Anyone who has ever admired a rock band will want to see this film. "Rockstar" portrays the somewhat disturbing lifestyle of a fictional band in the midst of the 1980s rock era. The strength of this film lies in its depiction of a larger-than-life band performing for thousands of hysterical fans, and the severe unfufillment that haunts them once they leave the limelight. Though not as endearing as last year's "Almost Famous," "Rockstar" is an entertaining watch, and it will definitely be more nostalgic for those who arrived too late to experience the 1970s.
B
Set in 2025, aliens are taking over a town in Mars. Women are at the head of the police force and are trying to contrive a plan for the unexpected abduction. In the meantime, aliens are abducting bodies throughout town. Actress Natasha Henstridge, head of the police force, must work together with actor Ice Cube, a dangerous criminal charged with murder, to fight against the aliens. The special effects rate the same as "The Never-ending Story." There are also redundant fight scenes in the movie. I must discourage anyone who considers spending money on this movie.
D
John Carpenter's Ghost World Rated R This movie will make your Ghosts of Mars Rated R John Carpenter's talent does not shine through in "Ghosts of Mars." The movie could never get off to a start much less a good one.

Buscemi as Seymour. Unfortunately, they suffer from a wierd plot that and a director who is trying too hard to be artsy. The setting is pretty neat, if you are a nostalgia buff. The early 50's style diner the characters hang out in is straight out of Happy Days, and the clothing worn by the eccentric Enid could be found at any stylish vintage clothing store. The movie has some redeeming qualitys. The relationship between Enid and Seymour is somewhat icky, given the age difference. It is, however, somewhat touching as Enid realizes that by taking a chance and getting to know him she has gained a true friend. I suppose this movie could be considedered a coming of age movie, with the characters struggle to be grown up and move away from life in high school. This goal could have been accomplished without torturing the audience. To call the film tedious is the understatement of the century.

Dear He said She Said,
I
need advice on how to break up a relationship. A good friend of mine went through rehab to get herself off drugs and alcohol. She has just moved in with her boyfriend, a redneck drug-abusing alcoholic idiot who doesn't even have a driver's license because of a DUI (this hasn't stopped him from driving drunk) and is 10 years her senior. She just turned 18, and I just found out that the first time they messed around was when she was only 14! If that isn't enough, he is a married man with two young children. He is separated from his wife, and his wife thinks my friend is her best friend. I tried telling the wife, but she doesn't believe me or anyone else who has told her what is going on. My friend has fallen of the wagon and I am afraid she is going to self-destruct. What can I do to help? She has quit hanging out with any of her old friends who were supporting her, and I am at a loss on how to help. Signed, A Concerned Friend
She Said:
W
hoa. This sounds like an episode of "As the Trailer Park Turns." Since when is it acceptable for a 24-year-old to sleep with a teen-ager? Statutory rape, anyone? This girl will be headed on a downward spiral if you don't help her soon. Remind her of her rehab experience and how difficult it was to overcome her substance abuse. Tell her to be strong, and encourage her to reevaluate this relationship. Does she really want to be "the other woman," especially with such a loser? Is he really worth throwing away those expensive rehab sessions for? Of course, only she knows the answers to these questions, but at least you'll have her thinking about it. Act quickly. There's no way of knowing when this guy could injure her in a drunk driving incident, or worse, turn violent against her. Tell your friend what you've told us and put it in black and white. Sometimes it takes the blatant truth to get someone's attention, and it seems like she needs a wake-up call. If your friend doesn't believe you, and somehow I doubt she will, offer to call the police to report the drugs in their home. Maybe then she'll get the point.
He Said:
S
ounds like a lost cause to me. People make stupid mistakes, especially 14-year old girls who are screwing a 24-year old married guys. It has been four years now, and she obviously is not getting smarter. What to do? Nothing. Think about it; there is absolutely nothing you can do that will actually make her wake up and bail on this guy. Short of dragging him from his car with a baseball in your hands, there is little that will help. (Editor's note — The Vista does not condone acts of violence, and any advice in this column tht seems to support such acts should be taken as satire and not acted upon.) ..'.. ' You can try to cut your losses and forget you ever met this girl, you can N\riit until she wakes up on her own and be supportive of what is let of her, or you can get offensive. I suggest going on the offensive, not as 'a favor to your friend (who will turn on you in a heartbeat for doing this), but as a favor to all other women on the planet. Find his address, get a cell phone, and call 911 every time he drives his car. Use your answering machine to get a tape of your friend telling you about her sex life, and mail it to his ; wife. If he is doing drugs like meth or crack with kids in the house, or ever drives his kids anyplace, call DI-IS and report him. Yeah, your friend will hate you for this, she'll whine and complMn„,!, about you butting in her private business,yadda y(idda yadda. And she will be right, but so what? You lost her as a friend when she quit hanging out with you. • Editor's Note: This column is intented for entertainment only, Neither Dave Great (fol-rner Staff Mystic) or The Fair Beth (associate editor) are professionat counselors, and this should be taken into consideration when choosing whether to he c'cii their advice.

Dance, and Media Arts present a unique spin on the Shakespeare comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Sept. 20-23 at Mitchell Hall. McGill presents his adaptation of the Elizabethan Era play with what he describes to be a lighter version "We avoided the dark side shown in other versions, and present a very sunlit side," McGill said.

both a wedding feast and a forest, suggests an air of festivity rich with flowers and greenery. UCO senior John Hack, who plays Bottom, commented on the simplicity of the set and character design. "This is a great concept for actors — the play portrays the actors, not the show," Hack said. "We're the set dressing, we create the moves." The wedding feast is followed by the characters' oral interpretation of Shakespeare, and what happens next is McGill's uniqtie conceptual rendition of the play. A rainstorm comes, dreams take over and the audience witnesses each character's world through the eyes of the children. "The beginning of the play is an attempt to realize the dream aspect." McGill said, "it's an idea of things happening in a magical world of fairies." UCO senior Emily Drake Farnham, who plays Helena, describes the play as a contrasting movement from a restricted and reserved society to more sincere and uninhibited group of people. . "The first part is cold and Victorian, and that melts away as the youthfulness comes out," Farnham said. "All the
