The Student Voice Since 1903 UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2003
Vista to celebrate centennial during Homecoming Week â– The Department of Journalism will hold an alumni
reception as part of the Homecoming festivities. The reception will honor alumni through the 100 years of journalistic excellence at UCO. The Annual Journalism Alumni Reunion returns to the University of Central Oklahoma from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Oct. 4, 2003 in the University Center Heritage Room as part of UCO's Homecoming celebration weekend. Alumni who majored in journalism, and those who worked on The Vista or Bronze Book staff are invited to attend in honor, this year, of The Vista's 100th anniversary. In addition to reprinting the original Vista from November 1903, the current Vista staff is planning a special Oct. 2 Centennial edition. Speaker will be Dr. Don Betz, UCO provost and vice president of Academic Affairs. Dr. Terry Clark, Journalism chairman, will emcee. This semester's Vista staff will also be recognized as guests of honor. "Nuts and bolts journalism...that's the heritage of 100 years of The Vista at UCO," Clark said. "Join us for the celebration, visit with your colleagues, learn how the old department is doing, and help us have a good time."
The first 150 journalism alumni who register for the reunion will receive a reproduction of the first issue of The Vista, and everyone will have an opportunity that evening to browse through yearbooks and reminisce with former faculty. "We've reprinted the first Vista, actual size, as a commemorative gift for the first 150 attending, and this year's staff is planning a big centennial issue also," Clark said. "It's our way of showing how proud we are of our alums and students who have built the program over the years." The long-traditional journalism alumni party will serve hors d'oeuvres, and a cash bar will be available. Alumni are asked to register by Sept. 30 and to send a registration fee of $10 toAlumni Relations, University of Central Oklahoma, 100 N. University, Edmond, OK, 73034. Further information, including reduced area hotel rates, can be found on UCO's web site, or e-mail ucoalum@ucok.edu .

Tomoyo Urat, sophomore business major, and friend Hiromi Yamacka, pyschology sophomore, take part in the Campus Coversations group that met Sept. 17 in Thatcher Hall.
Program opens doors to cultural understanding between students by Sherrod Wall Staff Writer To facilitate discussion between international and non-international students, education majors lead "Campus Conversations" every week, Monday through Thursday. The goal of Campus Conversations is to dissolve the language barrier that deters interaction between students and their college environment. The program was created in spring of 1999 with money from a grant given to Dr. Susan Scott, director of Campus Conversations and assistant professor in Professional Teacher Education. Scott said she emphasizes the Academic Support Center as a partner, along with Dr. Jennifer Endicott, professor of professional teacher education, who also sends her teacher candidates to participate in the program. "Every session is led by different people," Scott said. The names of more than 100 teacher candidates are put into a pool, Scott said. Students whose names are drawn lead the discussions. Some international students have difficulty communicating with group leaders and other students in the group. But
Scott said they tell stories and express their views to other students who they have just met. "International students gain increased confidence in their speaking inside and outside of the classroom," Scott said. Freshman Marco Rodriguez said that he thinks Campus Conversations will help him and other students interact with other people. "It's a chance to meet new people and cultures, and exchange your views on your country," Rodriquez said. Rodriguez said that he recommends Campus Conversations for other students who are seeking to overcome communication anxieties due to language disability or for those who simply want to learn more about American culture. "There are a lot of new people to meet and a new culture to be exposed to, the whole experience is really interesting," Rodriguez said. Scott said that non-international students also attend Campus Conversations meetings to become more exposed to new cultures and people. "This is the first semester that faculty members have asked whether or not noninternational students can come," Scott said. "Everyone is invited," she
said. According to Scott, four or five students show up to every meeting. Some students end up coming back regularly. Scott said that teacher candidates who participate in the Campus Conversations program are required to write a reflection on their experience. Group leaders usually recommend the Campus Conversations experience for other teacher candidates in their reflections because of its innate ability to break down barriers, she said. "It's a good opportunity for international students to ask questions and learn more about other people and their views," group leader Kara Essary said. Essary said that the program is extremely helpful and that it will facilitate relationships with international students in the future. Scott encourages English teachers to inform their English as a Second Language students to attend the free Campus Conversations meetings. Campus Conversations meets from 12 to 1 p.m. Mondays, from 12:30 to 1:30 Tuesdays, from 1 to 2 p.m. Wednesdays and from 5:30 to 6:30 Thursdays in the first floor lobby of Thatcher Hall.

Recent rape attempt raises campus awareness by Robert T. Crauthers Senior Writer A rape is most likely to occur where there is alcohol involved, at a residence or in a dark area, said John Blair, of Community Policing and Crime Prevention at UCO's Dept. of Public Safety (DPS). According to the most recent Annual Security Report, UCO has had three reported cases of forcible sex offenses between `99 and '01. From what the report shows, it's not a problem on the campus, Blair said. If someone were to be assaulted, the best thing for them to do is report it right afterward, Blair said. "Make sure to be safe first; once the culprit has left the scene call the police," he said. Blair said the victim would then be taken to a medical facil-
ity. But if injured in any way, an ambulance would be called for them. The victim should preserve the evidence, he said, by not showering, bathing or changing clothes. "This pertains to men also," Blair said. "They need to preserve the evidence for any hope of convicting the criminal," he said. Once the victim is treated, he or she would be questioned by police officers for information pertaining to the case. "We know the questions would be hard to answer, but they're needed," he said. Characteristics, such as skin color, accents, scars, tattoos and hair, are important in identifying the perpetrator, Blair said. For some reasons a victim might not wish to report the crime, said Jan Chapel, counseling center coodinator.
"It could be too intimidating for them...they might not want the publicity, the court trials or to be victimized all over again," she said. The University Counseling Center is available to talk to and support victims, Chapel said. Rape/Date Rape Awareness classes are available through the UCO Department of Public Safety, Blair said. These informational classes designed to educate the students and make them aware of what can happen, he said. DPS also has Operation Safe Walk, a program available for students and personnel to be escorted somewhere when they do not feel safe, he said. For information on the programs available through DPS, call 974-2345, or for Counseling Services, call 9742215.

Music Review: A Perfect Circle by Gavin Elliott Photographer
Cartoon by Eric Osborn
Campus reflects changing world There are 14,000 students enrolled at UCO. That's 14,000 different life stories, each with something remarkable to tell. We are here at college to get an education. But a true education is an instructive and enlightening experience. It is not achieved simply by obtaining or developing knowledge and skills. Instead, it is attained by becoming involved in a 'culture outside of our own. College informs us. During our time here we gain understanding about ourselves and others. We learn to appreciate the complexities that unite us and make us unique. It is a time to stimulate mental, physical, social and moral growth within us. On this fine campus, there are 1,631 students from 100 countries, stretching across the globe from Albania to Zimbabwe. Few of us will ever have the chance to travel abroad like these vinternational students already have. But that shouldn't keep us from wanting to learn about different cultures and countries. We can gain a greater knowledge of these cultures right here on
campus. There are a variety of student organizations on campus that provide a meeting ground for students from different backgrounds, cultures and countries. The Professional Teacher Education department holds hour-long conversation classes four days a week to allow teacher candidates a chance to help students gain experience with English in a social setting. The Baptist Student Union also offers culture classes during the week to familiarize international students with idioms and aspects of North American culture. And in November, a "Multi-Culturally Speaking" conference and the annual International Fest will be held on campus. So, while you're waiting for the start of your next class, instead of just rustling papers or gabbing on the cell phone, why not get to know some of your classmates?
This review has been a week in waiting. I got my grubby hands on the album last Monday via pre-order, but held off from any hastily typed words. From previous experience, I knew I wouldn't get a taste of the album on the first listen. So, after a week of the CD not leaving the stereo in my car, I feel ready to tackle this opus... A Perfect Circle's ' latest, "Thirteenth Step" delivers, depending on what you're expecting. Key word — expecting. If you're expecting this album to sound like their previous effort, "Mer De Noms," you will be severely disappointed. Be ready for a winding, twisting, climbing, falling arrangement of experimental compositions that take you by the hand and lead you through an emotional house of mirrors. Keenan's voice shines like the silver pieces Judas got for his betrayal. But Keenan betrays nothing. Especially not the lyrical answer he adds to the mellow pacifying equation of droning guitars and hypnotic drum beats. In true style, the album kicks off with a slow-building piece of triballike drumming and resonantly evaporative guitar riffs called "The Package." The first four minutes of
the song are all waiting and you start to curse Maynard and Billy for duping you into buying another $17 dollar CD when you could have easily hopped onto Kazaa and downloaded it and not be out one cent. Then...it hits you. Power chords and bass like a brick wall and you picture Maynard hunched over a mic, growling the lyrics, "Give this to me." By the time the song is over, you're confident you got what you paid for. From there, it's on to the radio single, "Weak and Powerless," which flows fluidly into "The Noose." Definitely one of the high points on the album, and boasts Danny Lohner of Nine Inch Nails fingering the sixstringed lady. Other high points on the album are "The Outsider," "Pet," and a whimsical sectioned quartet cover of "The Nurse Who Loved Me," originally written by Failure. The album has definite political suggestions, which are clear on songs like "The Noose" and "Pet," among others. In "Pet," Keenan takes on the role of our collective government during the course of America's showdown with terrorism, urging us to "Keep your head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums." "Thirteenth Step" is definitely a driving CD. Just put it in and let it wind its way through to the end... then listen to it again.
Scientists aim lower genome-mapping cost to under $1000 per draft WOBURN, Massachusetts (AP) _ Its been three years since scientists completed a rough draft of the human genetic code, but nobody's rushing out yet for a personal DNA analysis. That's because the first draft took 12 years and cost billions of dollars. The target price is orders of magnitude away: $1,000 for an individual's DNA sequence. That's the price considered essential for giving scientists the thousands of sequenced samples they need to understand how genes work, and giving patients access to a personalized DNA snapshot at the doctor's office that could show the diseases they are at risk of developing. Some scientists believe the old methods of sequencing DNA, though improving, will never produce a $1,000 genome, and they are exploring radically different ways to map the
blueprint of human life. Their methods remain far from proven. But there have lately been signs of headway on several fronts. "It's not dear which of these things will be the ultimate success, but I think these are all pieces of the puzzle moving us in the direction we need to go," said Jeff Schloss, program director for technology development at the National Institutes of Health's National Human Genome Research Institute. The human genome project yielded the first complete sequence of the 3.2 billion base pairs that comprise the DNA molecule of a person. Each base is one of four chemicals, their order governing a human being's development. While the DNA of one person is 99.9 percent identical to another's, it is the 0.1 percent of variation that interests many scientists
because the differences may answer questions like why some people develop certain diseases and others do not. To answer those questions, scientists must compare the DNA sequences of thousands of people. To get them, they must find a way to sequence DNA that, unlike the first sequencing, doesn't require thousands of lab technicians and dozens of supercomputers. "To actually deliver everybody's genome, you can't apply that kind of brute force strategy," said George Church, a researcher at Harvard Medical School. For years, scientists sequencing DNA have relied on a lumbering technique called electrophoresis. But it requires expensive chemicals, and without expensive hardware an average lab would be hard-pressed to sequence more than 1,000 base pairs a day. At that speed, it would
take almost 10,000 years to get through the 3.2 billion base pahs in human DNA. In April, a group led by Caltech researcher Stephen Quake published the first successful results from "single molecule sequencing," or reading DNA one base pair at a time. Quake's
group uses a flourescent label to mark the free molecules that surround DNA, then tracks which molecules are used when the DNA makes a copy of itself. The technique works on only five base pairs at a time, but Quake says many sequences can be read at once. Meanwhile, in an artide published in the August edition of Science, Church's lab reported progress on bathing DNA in different frequencies of light to produce a color-coded snapshot revealing the order of a DNA sequence. Daniel Branton, a Harvard colleague of
Church's, is working on a method Schloss considers among the most promising: shooting DNA through a tiny hole called a nanopore and measuring the electric signals each base pair emits. In another recent development, a Branford, Connecticut, company called 454 Life Sciences announced it had sequenced the genome of a virus _ about 30,000 base pairs long _ by dropping DNA into tiny wells and is now working on bacteria, with 2 million to 8 million base pairs. The company hopes to work its way up to humans. Wobum-based U.S. Genomics, for example, tags certain sequences then shoots them past a laser, which detects the tags as they go by.

One-time funds to be given to all state universities 30.
by Rick Russick Staff Writer All state colleges and universities will receive unexpected funding this year to offset budget shortfalls, said State Regents for Higher Education Chancellor Paul G. Risser at a Sept. 12 Regents meeting. The Regents approved a one-time $8.7 million allocation to go to all state universities and colleges affected by last May's budget cuts. Officials said that each school will receive money based on the needs of the school budget, but the funds will not be available until June

The use of DVDs in lieu of VHS tapes is becoming a trend on campus.
Dorm residents go digital by Rachael Tully Staff Writer
biology major, said she owns 25 DVDs. "I watch them almost every night," she said. In 2001, consumers purchased 16.7 million DVD players reported the VSDA. Kenton Brown, sophomore undecided major, said he has owned a DVD player for three years. "I like the extra scenes in DVDs," he said. "They have clearer pictures and you don't have to rewind them." John Baccheschi, general manager of Randy's M&M's, located at Second and Santa Fe, said his store carries more DVDs than VHS tapes. He also said that students tend to rent DVDs 80 percent more than VHS. "DVDs have better quality. They are easier to use, plus they have added features," Baccheschi said. Rental spending doubled last year, reaching $2.9 billion, reported the VSDA. Students agree that DVDs are more convenient than videos. With the extra features and more control, students said they found them more entertaining.
College students traditionally spend their weekends on a ,futon, watching a movie in the VCR. But lately, a new digital trend has hit college campuses. Adam Miller, sophomore broadcast major, said he hasn't used a VCR in over a year. "All I watch are DVDs," he said. "With the extra features, there is just no hassle." In 2002, the Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA) reported DVD sales generated $8.7 billion in revenue, more than VHS and DVD rentals combined. Cory McCutcheon, senior finance major, said he owns 36 DVDs. "I don't rent anymore, I only buy," he said. "VCR's are old school." A 2001 Best Buy National Survey reported that 35 percent of college students owned DVD players. Since last year, the numbers have skyrocketed. The VSDA reports DVD use has risen 58 percent since last year. Ashlee Phillips, sophomore
Sara Likens, graduate student, said she owns over 100 DVDs and watches them at least twice a week. "Technology is always changing," she said. "I just like the new things."
Sound it out,
"The good news is that in spite of all the bad news [Oklahomans have been receiving], the money will help to soften the blow," said Harve Allen, communications coordinator for the State Regents. Allen said that since the economy appears to be stabilizing, universities should hope to see more funds to offset any cuts received. "The problem is that we just don't know if future onetime allocations will be there or not, but it would be great if the money can be [handed out]," he said.
Allen said that much of the money received from taxes on oil and gas goes toward education. This tax is called the gross production tax. Higher gas prices also affect revenue. The higher the price, the higher the tax, he said. The Regents has difficulty predicting budget revenues is because gas prices fluctuate, Allen said. "We're not out of the woods yet." Steven Kreidler, vice president of Finance and Administration, could not be reached for comment on how UCO will utilize the funds.
Assessment to shed light on UCO's needs by Rick Russick Staff Writer To improve higher education throughout the state, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education recently approved plans for a statewide needs assessment. "Research like this is extremely important because it provides State Regents with information we can analyze to help shape public policy, and [...] meet higher education
needs of all Oklahomans," said Regents Chancellor Paul G. Risser. The needs assessment will show how UCO and other institutions throughout the state are meeting the needs of students, graduates and university business. The assessment will also show weaknesses within the system and give the Regents new ways to help each institution. Harve Allen, communica-
tions coordinator for the State Regents, said the assessment is a useful tool that is important for the economy. "It is very important for Oklahoma's economy that students are able to compete nationally and internationally in the global market," he said. David N. Koehn, assistant vice president for Administration, could not be reached for comment on the assessment.

21-year-old soldier from Wisconsin killed in Iraq Photo by Gavin Elliott
Greek organizations swing Sept. 24 to raise money for the Oklahoma Hemophilia Foundation.
What was all the noise about? by Gavin Elliott Photographer /Columnist "You see this guy? He has a heart." Four students casually swing back and forth on porch swings and encourage passers-by to donate to their cause through two booming JBL speakers. In front of them, several buckets sit, filling with everything from $10 dollar bills to shiny pennies. A student walking across campus on Wednesday probably heard the bullhorn yell of the annual Swing-A-Thon, set up by the Alpha Xi Delta sorority and Acacia fraternity. The two organizations set out at 9 in the morning to sit in a perpetual patio swing — one member from each house for an
hour at a time, non-stop for 36 hours to raise money for the Oklahoma Hemophilia Foundation. "The money we raise goes to kids with hemophilia, which is a blood disorder that thins the blood so it won't clot." said Carlye Lawson, a theatre education sophomore and public relations for Alpha Xi Delta. This is the third year the Swing-A-Thon has been in swing. The first year the groups raised about $1000 dollars while the second year was hindered by rain, causing donations to suffer. "We would like to raise about the same as the first year," said Melissa Shideler, music education major and president of Alpha Xi Delta.
RICE LAKE, Wis. (AP) _ An Army soldier from Wisconsin killed in Iraq hoped to return home, go to college and eventually become a history teacher, policeman or game warden, his family said Tuesday. Spc. Paul J. Sturino, 21, of Rice Lake, died Monday from a non-hostile gunshot wound, the Army said. He was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division and was in an area south of Mosul in northern Iraq, where the death remains under investigation. Sturino's grandmother, Marilyn Peer, said the family was awaiting details of what happened. "We don't know anything," she said. "This is a shock." Peer took calls at the home of her daughter, Chris Wetzel, Sturino's mother. In a statement, Wetzel called her son a "loving, caring man who always thought of others before himself. ... He was proud to serve his country." In a recent letter, the soldier told his mother how he and some buddies "borrowed" a military vehicle to go to the nearest town for their first shower in three months.
"He said they would probably get in trouble but said, 'Oh well. What are they going to do? Send us to Iraq and make us dig foxholes?"' the mother said. "He had a great sense of humor. He always had a joke ready for every occasion." In Elm Grove, Sturino's father, a Navy veteran of Vietnam, was choked with emotion. "He was 21 years old and he is not coming home. I can't talk," Dino Sturino said, sobbing and handing the telephone to his fiancee, Christine Straate. "He was a really nice kid. He didn't have mean bone in his body," Straate said. "He did not like being over in Iraq. It was just so hot." The couple last talked to the soldier on Sept. 14 - his 21st birthday. "He was pretty talkative. Yeah, he sounded scared. He was just homesick," Straate recalled. "It is just a shame his life was cut short." Sturino is the fourth Wisconsinite killed during military operations in Iraq. "He was a wonderful kid. He was terrific," said Peer, the grandmother. "He loved to fish

1/2-ton pickup. His goal when he got home was to finish restoring his 1969 Chevy Nova, his mother said. Sturino had also built his own fishing boat, Straate said. Sturino, who was single, was assigned to B Battery, 2nd Battalion, 320th Field Artillery Regiment, said John Minton, a spokesman with the Fort Campbell-based division. Peer said he kept in touch regularly. "We would get a letter from him and he would just wish he could come home and go fishing and hunting," she said. "He was a lovable kid. He was so much fun." Army Reservist Dan Gabrielson, 40, of Frederic, was killed July 9 when his convoy came under attack north of Baghdad. Army Maj. Mathew Schram, 36, of Brookfield, and Marine Sgt. Kirk Straseskie, 23, of Beaver Dam, died in Iraq in May. The 101st has had 22 soldiers die while participating in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Two other soldiers from Fort Campbell assigned to the 5th Special Forces Group have been
killed.

and hunt. He was always happy. He had the cutest smile." Sturino joined the Army in July 2001 after graduating from Rice Lake High School, Peer said. "I think he signed up because his older brother was in it. Military service runs in his family. Besides his father, Sturino's grandfather and great-grandfather were military veterans, Straate said. Peer said Sturino recently learned he had to serve another year in the Army because of the hostilities in Iraq. His discharge was frozen. "His two years were up. He wanted to come home and go to college and be a teacher," the grandmother said. "He had made up his mind in the service that he was going to be a history teacher. I think he realized the service was not for him." According to Straate, the soldier had also talked about training to become a policeman or a wildlife game warden. "He could have done a lot of things." Sturino wrestled in high school and played football as a freshman and sophomore. He loved tinkering with his car and

Boyland's military background prepares him for "dream job" Volleyball Junior Olympics helping them to six regional championships. In 1995 and '96 Boyland volunteered as an assistant at UCO. He then left UCO to fulfill a military commitment, which he completed in 2000. Still in the Air Force reserves, Boyland took over as head coach at his Alma Mater, Mid-America Bible College, which was not a full time position. Boyland was 71-11 at MidAmerica Bible College with his shinning moment coming in 2001 with the National Christian Collegiate Athletics Association (NCCAA) Division II national championship. This marked the first time a
by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer
Central Oklahoma athletics is soaring into the future on the wings of several new faces who are working to bring about a new era of excellence in the 21st century. After literally flying with the United States Air Force during "Operation Iraqi Freedom," Jeff Boyland has taken over the reigns for the Bronchos as the new head volleyball coach in 2003. Boyland first entered the military in 1984 and did not finish his full time duties until 2000. It was during his time in the service that he discovered, and soon fell in love with, volleyball. He first picked up the game while he was serving his last year in Anchorage, Alaska. He did not think too much of the sport then. The next year (1988) he was transferred to Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma Jeff Boyland City. It was here that Boyland Head Volleyball Coach said he "fell in love with the sport." This is where "I got the bug," he says. At Tinker, Boyland mixed his free time between playing "beach volleyball" on sand courts while also playing on a men's open team. During this time he met Will Ethridge who he says is "responsible for getting him involved in the sport. "The military gave me some flexibility to pursue volleyball since it wasn't like a nine to five job," said Boyland. Ethridge became the head coach at Santa Fe High School around the time the school opened. In the early 1990s, Boyland became an assistant coach to Ethridge and helped his team's win two state titles. When not helping out at Santa Fe, Boyland coached with the USA
coaching volleyball. He did not return to Mid-America, instead he came to UCO to assist coach Mark Herrin. "I believe that UCO has one of the best volleyball programs in the state and I wanted to be a part of that," said Boyland. UCO would go on to have one of their best seasons in the school's history posting a 30-7 record that included a school record 22-match winning streak. The team went on to capture its second straight Lone Star Conference North Division title and made its first Division II national appearance since 1994. In 2003, during "Operation Iraqi Freedom," Boyland was once again called to do his patriotic duty. His job was again to fly airborne surveillance missions as well as doing detections for any possible enemy aircraft. "I am proud to have been able to serve my country, but not proud of why I had to go," said Boyland referring to 9/11 and the ensuing Iraq war. Boyland finished his military obligations last spring and was finally free to live his dream coaching volleyball. Boyland took over the head coaching position at UCO over the summer. His team began the 2003 season as preseason number 1 in the LSC. Boyland calls this ranking a "foolish mistake" after the Bronchos graduated three of its all-time best players in Alma Brahimaj, Lexy Former, and Katy Wallace. "Not that we don't have great players this year," said Boyland. "I just wonder how we can be ranked that high after losing that kind of firepower. We hadn't even played a game yet." Boyland's Bronchos have already gotten off to a solid start to the 2003 season as they sit atop the LSC in week 14 with a 7-3 overall record.
"I believe that UCO has one of the best volleyball programs in the state and I wanted to be a part of that," - Jeff Boyland
school in the state of Oklahoma had ever captured a national collegiate volleyball championship. Boyland became a household name that year in Division II being honored as NCCAA National Coach of the Year as well as earning the title of Southwest Region Coach of the Year for the second year in a row. "I have been blessed with the opportunities I've had," said Boyland. Shortly after September 11th, Boyland was called into active duty to serve his country once again. Boyland was flying missions over Washington D.C. in his AWAX plan doing airborne surveillance as little as twelve hours after the terrorist stick on the Pentagon. The second that his active duty was over, Boyland returned to
