City OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — New stalk budgeting guidelines and demands for leaner government could lead to consolidation of some of Oklahoma's 176 state agencies. Some lesserknown entities, such as the Lubbock, Texasbased Oklahoma Sorghum Commission and the Boll Weevil Eradication Organization, could be eliminated completely.

Luncheon honors faculty, staff by Rachael Tully Staff Writer The Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) hosted a luncheon for UCO faculty and staff Sept. 16. The event was created to encourage teacher and student involvement on campus said Stacy McNeiland, advisor of PLC. "The luncheon was a great opportunity for us to tell the teachers how much we appreciate them," said. Mindy Harmon, junior education major. One hundred student leaders and 60 staff attended the engagement. Dr. Don Betz, vice president of Academic Affairs, and Dr. Kathryn Gage, vice presient of Student Services, were a few of the many that attended. "I am excited about the drive and focus that PLC brings on our campus. They are it's

future," said Gage. "They are here to support our university," she said. Jarret Jobe, PLC sponsor said that the best part of the afternoon was the student and teachers socializing outside the classroom. "We are here to tell the professors that we are here to further the university together," said Derek England, president of PLC. PLC is a student scholarship organization devoted to academic and social leadership. "Today is to let our professors feel that they know our counsel better," said McNeiland. "This way, they can help recruit and make our organization better," she said. Any student interested in PLC scholarships can contact the Perspective Student Scholarship and Services office at 974-2727.

International BERLIN (AP) — Germany, France and Britain sought to project a new European consensus Saturday before next week's U.N. General Assembly meeting on Iraq's future, agreeing broadly on a significant role for the United Nations and a transfer of power to Iraqis. But they were still divided on how quickly that should happen.

Horses provide economic stimulus GREENCASTLE, Pa. (AP) — There are more than 215,000 horses in Pennsylvania, with 2,350 in Franklin County alone, according to a recent study by Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. The study said horse ownership has increased by 25 percent across the state since 1990. Many of the animals are used for recreational purposes, but some are involved in other activities. "There are more horses in Franklin County now than back in the 1940s when they still used them for farming," said B.J. Roberts, one of the owners of Holoquin Riding Center in Antrim Township. "Raising horses is like raising children," said Amye

Lundgren, director of Saddle Up Ministries in Mercersburg. The school owns six horses used for riding lessons and enrichment activities for atrisk teens. Lundgren said she spends up to $2,000 each year to maintain one horse. That includes food, immunizations and foot care, she said. Roberts and his wife, Elizabeth, said they spend thousands each year for the 40 horses they own, including for grain, hay, bedding, worming and shoes. Holoquin Riding Center provides summer camps and riding lessons and recently began breeding horses to sell. Elizabeth Roberts said other expenses include fence repairs, tractors, trucks with

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Legislation designed to help collect unpaid state taxes is raising concern among oil and gas companies and the 1.5 million royalty owners with interest in the state. The new laws, which focus on non-Oklahoma residents, will allow the state to profit off of people who should not be paying state income taxes, royalty owners complain.

trailers and the general upkeep of the facilities. Immunizations, which are given yearly, are usually for tetanus, rabies and flu along with West Nile virus, which poses a serious threat to horses, Lundgren said. Lundgren said horses can suffer from colic when fed a different type of hay. B.J. Roberts said horses can also develop thrush, which is like athlete's foot, if their hooves are not cleaned regularly. Elizabeth Roberts added that sometimes an equine dentist must file down the horses' teeth, which can develop sharp edges that prevent them from eating properly. She said horses must also have their hooves trimmed every few weeks or

have their shoes replaced on a regular basis by a blacksmith, also called a farrier. Then there's the cost of tack for the horses, which includes the bridle and saddle. Stephanie March, a riding instructor at Holoquin, said riders who participate in competitions can spend thousands of dollars for equipment and clothing. "(Competitions) are very traditional, and you don't want to wear the wrong thing," March said. While there are some horse shows in Franklin County, March said riders often go to competitions in Dillsburg, Pa., and Baltimore and Westminster, Md. Horse care creates numerous jobs in the county, with

people required to provide feed, health care and even liability insurance for the animals. Lundgren said, "The children who work with the horses understand it's a great responsibility to take care of them. Horses are not like cats that you just put food out for and they groom themselves." "It's a good way to keep kids happy and out of trouble," B.J. Roberts added. "It also keeps part of the county's heritage alive," Lundgren said. "Years ago, people used horses every day. My grandfather, who grew up in Waynesboro, remembers as a young child having to learn all the parts of a harness in school."

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Former U.N. chief weapons inspector Hans Blix accused the United States of showing "questionable honesty" over Iraq and said the country was attacked despite posing no immediate threat, a newspaper reported Sunday. DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Former U.S. President Bill Clinton said Sunday the United Nations should play a greater role in establishing peace and security in Iraq. Clinton, speaking at the American University of Dubai, also urged all countries to participate in Iraq's reconstruction efforts.

Cell phones in class are a nuisance Mary had a little lamb. Everywhere that Mary went, that lamb went. In fact, it even followed her to school one day. Students today have taken a page from Mary's rhyme book, but instead of lambs, they're carrying ever-present cell phones. Cellular phones are a wonderful thing. If you have car trouble, you can call for help. If there is an emergency, people can reach you. You can even chat with your best friend across campus if you like. Cell phones are everywhere, and people talk on them everywhere too. They have become a great convenience and a great annoyance. With all the great advances in technology come hindrances as well. In movie theaters, meetings, and in classrooms interruptions have become common place. Yesterday, while everyone was focused on his or her test, a cell phone rang. Even after reminders that phones need to be off or on silent, some just

can't seem to remember. It seems like it happens in every class. Some students scramble to turn the phone off, but some just let it ring and ring and ring...some even have the audacity to answer it! I'm not that clean either, mind you. I'm guilty of my cell phone going off during class too. But once was enough. I learned my lesson. Something needs to change. What about professors answering them? "Hello? Well, Mr./Ms. X is busy — I'm teaching class right now." I haven't noticed any professors' cell phone's' interrupting class — I wonder why that is? Students would be quite irritated if their teachers' cell phones interrupted class. Don't be rude. Be considerate, and turn those cell phones off. Can you hear me now?

Heart of the American Dream with ,gavin .ECCiort

Somewhere in Obscure Town, America, a clueless geek with Metallica posters on his wall sits at a computer downloading all kinds of pirated music, unaware that his movements are being monitored. Yeah, he's happy now, listening to the latest hits out from his favorite bands...but somewhere in the vast landscape of our nation, a nameless face sits at an unidentifiable computer, documenting every copyright infringement he makes. The bliss won't last long. Not when he's slapped with a lawsuit his meager collegiate income can't cover. It's real. A family was slapped with a lawsuit for having a copy of "The Wheels on the Bus go Round and. Round" among others on their hard drive for their daughter. Maybe it's just me, but I seriously doubt the hulking record companies lost a fistful of

cash on that little educational number. Is it worth the trouble going through this jangled mess of lawsuit after lawsuit to get to the bottom of the Internet piracy bit? In July, more than 800 subpoenas were issued to individuals as a clear, fear-based deterrent to these peer-to-peer file sharers. Obviously the record companies think so. But what are they compensating for? They say record sales have dropped tremendously in the past few years, about 10 percent annually, claiming a parallel between the availability of free online music and the downward spiral of their sales. But is it Napster's — the predecessor for the sharing of Internet music files — fault? Or is it that the record companies aren't supplying the collective consumer with what they want — deep down? I hear this side of the argument a lot. Saying, either the record companies don't cater to their musical tastes enough, or the simple fact that a CD costs

upwards of $17-20 dollars. To some, this is enough of a reason to take advantage of the countless ways to download music over the Internet. But will personal justification hold up in a court of law? Where's the middle ground? This isn't a black and white issue. There's gray — lots and lots of gray. But not according to rapper Nelly. In an anti-piracy ad campaign, he says, "We really look at it as stealing, because to us it's black and white, either you pay for it or you don't. And, you're not paying for it." If it were really that simple, would an anti-piracy ad campaign really be needed? The Truth of it is, most people have paid for it at one time or another. I mean, I haven't paid for a Nelly CD lately, but there have been several occasions where I've bought numerous copies of a particular album for whatever reason. We all know how hard it is to keep a scratchless CD, or even keep from losing them. They're hard to keep

track of amongst the clutter of a college person's car or litterstrewn dorm room. This must be taken into account. I was scrolling through my personal playlist the other day, comparing the songs I've downloaded with the ones I have hard copies of, and found that I already owned 10 out of every 12 songs. The extra 2 were songs like, "The Humpty Dance" by Humpty (pronounced with an 'umpty') or "Jump Around" by House of Pain. I hate to use the word 'novelty' to describe these songs because "The Humpty Dance" is a damn good song...but that's what they are novelties. And back in the early 90's, when these two dance rap kings wore their crowns, I owned both of the CDs. In my right mind, I wouldn't go out and buy either of these CDs again just because I want to listen to one song off the album, but I can easily get on Kazaa and in minutes be "out my seat" and jumping around. But that was before I got my warning from Kazaa... So why download music onto my computer when I already have the hard copy?

The Recording Industry Association of America has decided to bring lawsuits against thousands of people, no matter what their age, who share copyrighted music files using Internet services that make the exchange possible. The latest goal of the music industry is to end what it considers music piracy by terrorizing those who burn CDs of their favorite songs without paying for it. RIAA calls it no different from shoplifting. Some may consider the legal actions against individuals, rather than Internet servers, somewhat extreme. The music industry is hoping that the bullying is the answer for the 26 percent drop in music CD sales between 1999 and 2002.

Somehow alienating potential consumers seems like a strange way to go about increasing sales. Dragging adolescent children, college students and even the elderly into court doesn't mark you as a peopleConvenience. Now, instead of switching out CD after CD while I'm sitting at my computer writing these rambling columns, I have my own personal radio station — free from space wasting commercials and the poppy pap that radio stations are so prevalently known for playing. That's all. It didn't stop me from paying $17.99 to preorder A Perfect Circle's latest album, and its not going to stop me from supporting the musicians I appreciate. So from my point of view, whatever that's worth, the Big Business Record Company's whining rant that CD sales are down because of free internet music is, at best, a deluded scream to right...where they have been wronged. Yeah. That's a hoot. The Record Labels have been wronged. For some reason, my heart isn't aching for them. Because of all the people I know, the availability of free online music hasn't stopped them from buying their favorite bands albums. It just doesn't add up. The answer! It came to me between sips of my new favorite Cuban rum, Mojito. To me, it

friendly business. We take our rights to privacy seriously and these days that extends to online, but there seems to be a bit of trampling on these rights by the music industry.... Americans are an easy target for RIAA. A much larger piracy of intellectual properties, one that dwarfs anything in this country, is going on in the Far East, but the music, film and software industries can do little about it. While loss of revenues is a reason for the lawsuits, perhaps the high cost of music CDs may be a root cause for the song swapping. Isn't it amazing that new hot CDs are all priced about the same without any collusion among music publishing companies. The software industry substantially eased its piracy problems when the prices of its products were reduced. This is called "elasticity," where a fall in price would be expected to increase the demand. Pretty simple. seems the record labels are th ones raising the biggest stint over this whole deal, since th days of Napster vs. Metallica ar long gone. Let's bypass them! The recon companies I mean. Get rid o `ern. The individual bands shoul( handle the distribution of thei goods using the Internet whether it be selling single song mp3 style, or shipping off entir albums. Yeah it may take awhil getting it organized, but th bands would benefit tremen dously, no longer getting pai' fractions of a cent for their sales but large bulks. A staff woul( probably have to be hired fo maintenance on the website an keeping tabs on orders. Certainl: they would be paid for their ser vices. But still...the profit i there. And the biggest advantage should this method be inherited The artists will have complet artistic freedom without a label' producer standing over him say ing, "The radio won't play that.' Yes. That's what we want. •

Athletic Director Joe Castiglione asked donors to contact his department if the alcohol ban causes them to re-evaluate their interest in having club seats for the remainder of this season. Hocutt said the athletic department had received "a number of calls" but no one has asked that they get their donations refunded. Boren said there was never a written agreement that alcohol would be served to donors. "We are a public university; we desire a family environment," Boren said. "We must be concerned about liability. It only takes one problem to damage the university or create a legal liability', and our university will not take these undue risks." Fans watching the game from 27 special skyboxes that require annual donations of $55,000 to $65,000 per box still will be allowed to bring their own alcohol because private entities are leasing the space from the university.

But some of the 2,137 donors with club privileges accused university officials of going back on their word.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — A ban on alcohol sales at University of Oklahoma stadium clubs and lounges during football games has angered some club seat holders who donated a minimum of $1,000 for club privileges. The Kerr-McGee Stadium Club, part of the stadium's new expansion, served alcohol during the Sooners' season opener against the University of North Texas on Aug. 30. But on the day before OU's next home game two weeks later, donors received e-mails stating alcohol sales were a one-time event.

Bronchos winning streak snapped at Southwest Regional Challange by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor The Central Oklahoma volleyball team dropped two of three games at the Southwest Regional Challenge in Lawton, Okla. held on Sept. 19 and 20. The Bronchos were swept in their final match of the tournament as they lost to the Incarnate Word Crusaders. The Crusaders (7-7) dominated the first game of the match taking the 30-21 victorY. The Bronchos responded with a strong effort in the second game but came up short, 31-29 and UIW finished off the sweep with a 30-21 match winning victory in the final game. UCO hit just.135 as a team, struggling to put Incarnate Word on the defensive throughout the match. Kim Morgal paced the Bronchos with 13 kills, while Penny Wascovich added eight in the defeat. On Sept. 19, the Bronchos faced Drury (6-5) to open up the tournament. The first contest was hotly contested as the DU and UCO battled back and forth. The Bronchos couldn't make the plays to pull it out as they fell 30-28. The second game was similar to the first as neither team took a lead and ran away with the game as the

Bronchos hit .178 for the game. But DU pulled it out late for the second time taking the win, 30-27. In the final match the Bronchos had difficulty finding their rhythm offensively hitting just .044 for the game. Drury took full advantage of UCO's misfortune, hitting .302. They ran away with the game and the match 30-19, ending the Bronchos winning streak and dropping UCO to 6-2 on the season. Tori Walker led UCO with 12 kills and 8 digs, while Rachel MacElvaine contributed 10 kills. In their second match of the day, UCO defeated St. Mary's (Tex.) University (4-5) in a fivematch battle. The Rattlers took the first two games of the match, 30-25 and 3020. UCO battled back with their backs against the wall, winning the third game, 30-23, and the fourth game, 30-23, forcing a tiebreaker con test. In the final game, the Bronchos used their momentum to take the game comfortably 15-7 for their lone win of the tournament. The Bronchos are 7-3 on the season and return to the road Sept. 26-27 for the Lone Star Conference Crossover Tournament in Wichita Falls, Texas.

Riding a four game winning streak the Bronchos improved to 4-1-2 on the season. Leah Anderson scored in each game for her first goals of the season for UCO. Her first goal coming in the 15th minute against the MissouriRolla Miners on an assist by Audri Habibi. The Minors tied the game up four minutes before the half and the tie was not broken until the 70th minute with an unassisted goal by Chelsea Holland. Later Valerie Gutierrez

gave the Bronchos a cushion

when she received a pass from April Bohannan and scored from 25 yards out to make it 3-1 UCO. On Sept.20 against Southwest Baptist, Leah Anderson took a pass from Lindsey Hull and launched a shot over the goalkeeper's head for the only score of the game at 67:37. Anchored by a strong defense lead by fullback Tiffany Haines the Bronchos picked up win number four by a score of 1-0. "It wasn't very pretty but it was a win on the road and we'll definitely take it," said UCO soccer coach Mike Cook. The team returns home Thursday to host Oklahoma Christian at 4 p.m. for the first day of the Carl's Jr. Classic at Tom Thompson soccer field.

Aso Pogi breaks through a hole as his teammates hold their blocks during the Bronchos 31.20 win against Lone Star Conference rival West Texas A&M on Sept. 20.

Edwards excels as Bronchos win conference opener, 31-20 by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer Zack Edwards set a new school single-game record for receiving yards by a freshman while leading Central Oklahoma to a 31-20 victory over West Texas A&M Saturday at Wantland Stadium. A crowd of 4,028 watched Edwards, from Jenks High School, finish UCO's first Lone Star Conference game of the season with 9 catches for 176 yards. Edwards' biggest catch of the night came on a 54-yard home run ball from Aso Pogi with :12 left to play in the first half. The play gave the Bronchos a 24-0 lead going into the locker room. "They're taking away Dee Dee (Carter) and so it opens me up," said Edwards. "We've got two good quarterbacks that can throw the ball down the field." "The kid's been a wonder since he got here," said Carter, who finished the game without a catch for the first time since week four 2002 against Texas A&MCommerce. Junior Linebacker Uriah Matthew set the tone early for a stellar first half performance by the Bronchos defense with a 30yard interception return for a touchdown to give UCO a 14-0 lead with 3:25 to play in the first quarter. The Buffaloes' offense managed only one less yard of offense (222-223) and fewer first downs (8-10) than UCO in the first half despite leading the Bronchos in

time of possession 31:08 to 12:39. Senior Erick Johnson started for the first time this season at teibac ' k'for the Bronchos would relinquish the job to Pogi every other quarter as the team has done all season. "The two-quarterback system is working well," said Johnson. "It's definitely a positive for the team. We plan to stay with it." Johnson finished the first quarter only 1-3 for 4 yards as starting tailback Jarrod Manoy stole the spotlight finishing the first half with 78 yards on 12 carries with one touchdown. Manoy was unstoppable carrying the ball on seven of the eight plays for all of the 59-yards it took UCO to score on their first possession. Most of the rest of Manoy's yards for the day came on the Bronchos first possession of the second quarter with Pogi at the helm. Leading the offensive stampede again, Manoy carried on every other play of the 56-yard drive that resulted in an A.J. Haglund field goal from 23 yards out to put UCO up 17-0. The other two members of the Bronchos three-pronged rushing attack, Jason Phenix and Derrick Camacho, took over the ground stampede for the remainder of the game while Manoy sat out nursing soreness in his left leg. The second half was all Buffaloes as they scored 13 unanswered points in the third quarter to rally themselves back into contention.

Senior halfback Aubrey Lacy, who had 31 yards at the half, ran wild for the Buffs picking up an unheard of 139 yards (34.8 yardsper-carry) in the-thircl -*tarter— alone. Two 50+ yard drives resulted in field goals by Buffaloes' kicker Jacob Felton to bring the UCO lead down to 24-6. UCO's offense could do nothing having to bring on punter Ryan Lopez (6-44.8) after their first two possessions stalled, and the third resulted in a fumble. With less than a minute to play in the third, the Bronchos still maintained a comfortable 17-point lead as the Buffaloes took over at their own 17-yard line. On WTAMU's first play from scrimmage, Lacy took the hand off 83 yards for a touchdown. Felton made the PAT, and just like that it was 24-13. UCO answered the challenge to start the fourth quarter by taking the ball 80 yards in 10 plays capped by a 4-yard run over left end by Pogi for the touchdown. Haglund put the kick through and made it 31-13 with 11:50 to play. The drive was highlighted by an 18-yard reception by Edwards and a 25-yard run by Camacho. On the ensuing kickoff head coach Chuck Langston called an on-side kick in an attempt to play keep away but the Buffaloes recovered on UCO 44. It took the Buffaloes 6 plays using their OU-style spread offense to reach the end zone making it 31-20 with 8:51 to

play. Punching it in from 3 yards out was Lacy who ended up 14174-2 (12.4 avg.) on the night. The Bronchos were finally able to put the game away after

senior linebacker James Thornton Pogi proceeded to take a knee intercepted Buff quarterback and the Bronchos improved to 3Derek Maupin's pass at the 0 for the first time since 1999. WTAMU 37 and returned it 7 yards.
