The federal government has not linked the W32-Nimda@mm with recent terrorist activity. Attorney General John Ashcroft warned the new worm could end up more destructive than the Code Red worm unleashed earlier this summer. In response, makers of antivirus programs have created an update that protects computers, and can be downloaded from their web sites. A full version of McAfee Anti-virus 4.51 is available to UCO students who do not have virus-scanning software. The cost is $1, which covers the expense of the CD, and is available in the

Cynthia Rolfe Tech Support office, Room 170 of the Math and Computer Science Building. Unlike this summer's crippling Code Red worm, which circulated solely by e-mail, W32Nimda@mm has three separate methods of infection. See WORM, Page 4

Reader disputes letter extolling virtues of network marketing n response to the letter by Kenneth Wohl in which he extols the virtues of "network marketing", Mr. Wohl, it is you who ought to do the homework. Network marketing companies such as Amway, Shaklee, and the host of Web-based imitators who sell everything from diet cookies to health supplements and magnetic shoe insoles, prey upon the unschooled who would much rather, as you put it, "work hard for three to five years and be financially free than work for someone else for 45 years making them rich." Ah, Kenneth, if it were only so simple as that ... Here are some facts for you to consider. Three elements comprise the cost of all products: cost of the product, distribution cost, and

promotion cost. Within each of those costs is profit for the companies who provide those services. Network marketing companies move a tiny portion of the total product flow in the world economy and suffer from higher product costs due to their lesser volumes. Network marketing companies deliver their products via automobiles or small package shipments — both are dramatically more costly than the delivery costs of products moving through the efficient distribution systems of conventional store chains. Finally, network marketing companies eschew conventional mass marketing media and promote their products using personal selling — again, the single most expensive promotional method known.

As a result of these disadvantages of the network marketing system, no significant volume of products is sold outside the system. Members of the system are required to buy the products so they can continue to earn their override commissions on the "sales" of their downstream system distributors. If purchases by distributors were not required, these

when the color guard is presented, I have seen the fans take their hats off and put their hands over their hearts like they're supposed to," Williams said. Along with all the rules of having a flag, there is also a formal way to dispose of it. Williams said it is time to replace

your flag if the flag is torn or diminished in any way. When the flag is not able to be used, it is destroyed properly by burning, in a reverence manner, Williams said "People can turn their flags in to the American Legion or Veterans of Foreign War (VFW), and they will bum the flags properly." •

RENTERS INSURANCE

professor emeritus from our department and I were having lunch the other day. He was bragging to another colleague about how far the Political Science Department has come in the last ten years. Basically, he attributed the changes to hiring more qualified people and all from different universities. In fact, he was pretty complimentary about the university overall. He added (in language more colorful than I can relate in this forum) that there has also been a dramatic drop in the number of not-so-nice people in positions of responsibility. It was fun listening to him. Since I've just started my second year here at UCO, I flattered myself that I might be a part of the positive changes he described. His comments made me reflect on my own perspectives of UCO over the years. It's now been a couple of decades since I made my own decision about where to attend college. Being a Tulsa native with a fairly parochial perspective, I thought the only reasonable choices after high school graduation were OU and OSU. I had heard vague rumors about a place called "Central State" but kept getting it confused with a similarly named state hospital. After graduating from OSU some years later, I found a job in the OKC area, married my college sweetheart, and settled down in a new home. Time passed and I got the itch to go back to school for a graduate deg-

ree. I shopped around and seriously considered going to Central State University because it would be so convenient. I had to stop myself though and ask why I would want to go to a school with such a geographically ambiguous name? What kind of reputation would it carry if I moved out of state? It sounded like the "Midvale College" made famous in so many Walt Disney films. I decided to go to a different university a halfhour's drive to the south where I pursued a master's degree and eventually a Ph.D. Doctoral work can be highly competitive. I wondered if I could possibly measure up to others in the program who had already been awarded scholarships or prestigious fellowships. Mercifully, I soon realized that most of the other doctoral students were as insecure and flawed as I was. Still, I truly came to admire some students. A couple of them were graduates from UCO. I began then to look at UCO in a different light. As a human resources manager at the time, I also discovered that UCO graduates had earned a great reputation among area employers. UCO is not like the two larger state universities. There, undergraduate courses can have several hundred students or be led by inexperienced graduate assistants. Here, accomplished professionals with excellent academic credentials teach to relatively small classes. That's an incredible success. It should be treasured and trumpeted. UCO has come a long way since its name was changed. Maybe, instead of changing its identity, it became better connected with its own culture and sense of mission. And the wider community is also beginning to recognize that UCO is a nice place in which to work and learn. •

Broncho golf is on the winning course BY SHARON ROWEN

Sports Writer

CO golfers traveled to Abilene, Texas last week, to take part in the Charles Coody West Texas Intercollegiate tournament, held at the Diamond Backgolf Club. The Bronchos fell one stroke short of winning the tournament, but Matt Norgaard and Todd Dayton had top-10 finishes, leading the Bronchos to an

overall second place finish behind Northeastern Oklahoma State. On the first day of competition, Dan Drake shot an even-par 71, and Dustin Semsch and Norgaard both shot a 74. "Dan made a great rally on the back nine and had a really nice round for us," UCO coach Dax Johnston, who recently took the helm of Broncho golf, said. The Bronchos headed into the

second day of competition trailing Cameron by three shots and leading Northeastern. UCO would finish the tournament with a 587, just one shot behind Northeastern's 586 total. Abilene Christian and Texas Weselyn tied for third place both finishing with a 594. Southwestern Oklahoma finished fifth at 597. In the individual race, Norgaard tied for fourth with a three-over, 145 total. Dayton meanwhile made an impressive collegiate debut, with a 146, finishing ninth. "It was disappointing to not win the tournament, but we had a chance on the final nine and that's what we want. Matt (Norgaard) is always going to be in there for us and I was really impressed with the way Todd (Dayton) performed in playing his first college tournament. It was an encouraging start to our fall season." For more sports information visit www.bronchosports.com ♦

Volleyball Highlights ACU Outlasts Volleyball, 3-1 Sept 21 Abliene Christian ended Central Oklahoma's three-match volleyball winning streak here (Abilene, Texas) Friday night as the Wildcats gained a four-game victory over the Bronchos.

UCO, which is hitting .264 on the season, hit just .179 in the loss with 31 attack errors and the Bronchos were also hampered by 14 service errors. Lexy Fortner paced the Bronchos in Friday's loss, hitting .342 with 16 kills and just three errors in 38 attacks while adding 13 digs and two assisted blocks. UCO also got 15 kills and a .321 attack percentage from Katy Wallace, while Alma Brahimaj had 14 kills and Tori Walker 10. Stacy Meeks chipped in 44 assists and 10 digs for UCO.

"Kim (Brown) obviously had a great game for us and it was good to see her get the record at home. Our next few games are here at home, so we've got to take advantage and get on a roll." UCO took a 2-0 lead in the first 20 minutes of the game. St. Edward's came back to score in the 26th minute, making the score 2-1, but that is all they would get as Brown and the Bronchos marched on to a 5-1 victory.
