Fires blaze 100,000 acres around Edmond BY MIKE GREER
Staff Writer
R
ecent fires endangered thous'ands of people across the Sooner state, including many UCO students. "I live on 33rd and Coltrane. I was on my way to work and there was a fire right there. It was about a mile from my house. We were watering our lawn, our trees, our house," said Patricia Mitchell, Jr. advertising major. The fires, which surrounded Edmond, began the afternoon of Sept. 19 and blazed through the night, taking more than 100,000 acres of Oklahoma
land with them. "The biggest fire was less than two miles east of our house and another was just a mile south. There was smoke in practically every direction and a glow to the east," —{1 : said Christy Smith, interior design graduate student. Several homes were destroyed in the all-night inferno. "I turned on the television and my old house was burning down. I
couldn't believe it. I lived there three months ago," said Mary Beth Bullock, Sr business major. There were no reported fatalities and few injuries attributed to the flames by press time. "The fires were within a mile of my parents' house Tuesday. Thursday there were four arson fires just as
close. My brother was home by himself but the way the winds were blowing he was safe," said Carrie Bischoff, Jr. math marketing major. A change in the weather has decreased the danger of fires across the region, but fire safety is always encouraged, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. The agency recommends that homeowners keep brush and vegetation a safe distance from their homes and keep gutters and roofs free of dried leaves and tree matter. "I've been in Oklahoma over ten years, these are the worst fires I've ever seen," Smith said. •
Flu vaccinations may be late due to component shortage BY SARAH DAVIS
Staff Wri ter
eople who are prone to the flu may have to wait longer for vaccinations this year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a possible delay in distribution of the A/Panama strain of the flu vaccine. Manufacturers are having difficulty producing the strain. The A(H3N2) component of the influenza is lower than expected, limiting the supply of vaccine that can be developed. Other manufacturing issues are contributing to the problem. The Advisory Committe on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has recommended the delay of mass influenza vaccination campaigns to November. Campaigns are usually recommended for October through the middle of November. "We've received two letters about this, one from the company that sends us the vaccine and one from the CDC. When we actually receive the shipments of vaccine, we will receive an updated letter giving guidelines of when to
p
vaccinate," said LaBette Wallenmeyer, directer of the UCO Student Health Center. The Student Health Center is following the CDC guidelines recommended from what they know so far. Vaccinations in November will be given only to those who are 65 or older or have chronic conditions and to health care workers in contact with high risk patients. "We will need to have some kind of proof of identification for those getting early vaccinations," Wallenmeyer said. In December, household members of high-risk patients and other health care workers may be vaccinated. After December, remaining people may be vaccinated. The CDC recommends that persons at high risk for complications from the flu proceed routinely with regular health-care visits. Also, other antiviral drugs approved by the FDA to treat acute, uncomplicated influenza

Volunteering is time well spent ollege students are some of the most diverse creatures alive. But amid our contrasts, at least one thing unites us all. It is something we lack. It's a blessing, a curse, and yes, a four-letter word. Time. College is, after all, the time of one's life. This mind-set, along with an honestly ridiculous schedule, lends itself to none other than "me syndrome." Moms around the world call it "self-absorption." More important than its name, though, is its cure. Ask anyone who's tried it: Investing time in something other than oneself is an investment worth making. Participating in community service is one of the most fufilling ways to spend time, and college students should be the

Oh yeah — and it also helps other people. Those who enjoy construction, plug into Habitat for Humanity. Enjoy children? Try Citizens Caring for Children. Like people? Drop by the Hope Center. Interested in cooking? Call the Jesus House. Have fun outdoors? The birds are waiting at Martin Nature Park. The possibilities are only limited by one's imagination.

OSU police take student's computer amidst MP3 complaint BY TIFFANY WATKINS
Staff Writer Police at Oklahoma State University seized 19-year-old Scott Bernard Wickberg's computer and Cd recorder from his dorm room after the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) complained to the university's computer center about a high volume of downloads. "I was just collecting music like everyone else. Most people aren't in this for the money. Most bands have a free trading policy, as long as you keep it free. I've had conversations on e-mail with bands that don't mind, the only thing that gets them is people trying to make money off their music.

Students to recieve black belts BY SARAH DAVIS

Staff Writer
wo members of UCO's Aikido Club will be the first students to receive their black belts this semester. Brandon Tindle, junior MIS major and Romio Yamashita, senior art major, will perform their skills from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Sept. 24 in the wrestling room in Hamilton Fieldhouse. "We will be demonstrating the techniques that we have learned," Tindle said. Aikido was developed in the early 20th century in Japan. It is a martial art that uses techniques derived from Jujitsu, Ken jitsu (sword arts) and Yari-jitsu (spear arts). Throws and joint locks are used, but there are no punches or kicks. The word "Aikido" can be translated to "the way of divine harmony". Competition is prohibited in the art because of the potential to cause serious injury. Techniques are learned by working cooperatively with a partner. To date, 12 styles of conventional and modern -
Aikido have been developed. Aikido has also branched out and intermixed with other forms of martial arts. "We're also now known as the Budo Society," Tindle said. "We incorporate many different martial arts, including Kindo and Judo." Dr. Wayne Stein, assistant professor of English, was the first faculty member to receive his black belt. "I received my black belt last year and it took me about two years," Stein said. Aikido Club has been an official club since last year. The club has around 15 to 20 members and is open to the public. There are no requirements to be in the club, Tindle said. Dr. April Haulman, professor of curriculum and instruction, will perform for her third degree black belt in an upcoming U. demonstration at a later date. "Brandon and Romio are both very excited, dedicated and good. They've been practicing since before the club became official," Stein U. said.
The club meets every Sunday at 1 p.m. and Mondays and Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. For more information, call Dr. Gary Steward at 974-5533 or Tindle at 348-5982. •
them. That's why they write it. I thought it wouldn't have been that big of deal because you couldn't buy most of the music on my server in stores," Wickberg said. Wickberg admits to using a program that sets up a server where individuals can log on to his website and download concerts and live music he collected. He also uploaded the content of his own CDs for back-up purposes in case of loss or damage. "Cds often get lost or scratched, but if you have them on back-up you can always make a new one," Wickberg said. The site contained a disclaimer stating not to upload CDs unless the individual already owned them according to Wickman. "But somehow that file was deleted," he said. "That's why the
(RIAA) got so mad. That, and so many files were downloaded." During OSU's investigation, they learned the files were in the multi-gigabyte range. In regard to OSU, Wickberg says he has been treated fairly. "OSU is not here to censor anyone. They had to do what they did. The Computer Information Service is responsible for dealing with computer violations," Wickberg said. Wickberg declined to release details of any disciplinary actions against him, but said he did temporarily lose computer lab privileges, e-mail access and his computer. . After the university completes its investigation, reports will be given to the district attorney, who will decide what criminal charges, if any, the student will face. •

Trailing late in the fourth period, UCO moved into scoring positon twice in the last six minutes. The Bronchos had an opportunity to take the lead, but an interception and a dropped pass in the end zone killed their hopes for a win. UCO fell to 1-3 overall and 1-1 in the conference with its fifth straight road loss. "We had our chances throughout the game and certainly at the end, but just couldn't come up with the play we needed," Broncho coach Gary Howard said. "It's a disappointing loss, but by no means is it the end of our season." The Bronchos may have ended up with a loss, but statistically they outgained the Greyhounds 334-290. Greg Briley and Eric Gooden both gained over 100 yards rushing, with Briley scoring two touchdowns. Quarterback Brett Manning went 8—of-26 for 112 yards, with James Williams of ENMU going 3—of-5 for 23 yards. Kelly Heathington led UCO's defense with 15 tackles, while Jon Brazeal had 13.

Holmes is on top of her game BY MARY HALL Sports Writer
T
he last time she kicked a goal, she added to her record breaking number. What is it now? Fifteen so far for the season and a LSC record of 36 career goals. Superstar soccer sensation Sally Holmes is on top of her game. Holmes had three goals and three assists in an 8-0 rout of Central Arkansas Sept. 16 to set the goal record, then followed with a go'al and two assists in UCO's 6-0 romp over Missouri Southern Sept. 17. The Bronchos are now an impressive 9-1 and have moved up to 16 in the rankings. Holmes understands what the rankings can do to a team. "It's a good honor to have, but at the same time, it's just a bigger target on your back, people want to knock you off, and it just makes you want to work so much harder not to let them," Holmes said. It was 17 years ago that Holmes, a senior from Edmond Memorial started playing around with a soccer ball. "When I was five years old, my brother used to take me out in the back yard and make me stand up against the fence, and shoot soccer balls, and make me catch them. He was the one that told me I had a PHOTO SERVICES natural talent for it, and that I should try it. Sally Holmes defends the ball in a match against Regis (Colo.) Sept. 24.

"I'm winning these awards and I'm scoring these goals, but it's not because it's just myself working hard, our entire team is working hard and you can't do it all unless you have your teammates," Holmes said. What is next for Holmes? This is her senior year. Conference playoffs. Conference champions. Berth in the national championships. The Bronchos just missed out on the league's playoffs their first two years. Holmes is confident that the third time will be a charm. "With the group of girls we have, and if we keep working the way we are,, we could only get better each game. I'm very confident in my teammates right now, we want this goal bad," Holmes said. "Our work ethic is so much harder this year. Everyone on the team has that will to go the extra mile," she said. After graduation, Holmes, an elementary education major wants to coach soccer.

Leading the way.. . The freshman class of the President's Leadership Council were recognized at a reception held on September 19. The reception featured keynote remarks by Dr. Don Betz, executive vice president of UCO.
Affairs Minister John Nkomo this week told Parliament the grenade attack on the opposition party's (MDC) Harare offices was "an inside job" by the MDC itself, ostensibly to gain public sympathy. According to Nkomo, initial investigations into the bombing unearthed military ordinance believed to have come from Malaysia through South Africa, at the MDC offices.

JERUSALEM, Israel—Israel is about to strike down the main bureaucratic expression of that sacred principle. As a first step in what Prime Minister Ehud Barak's aides are terming a "secular revolution," acting Interior

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia—If the latest opinion polls here are accurate, Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic is on his way out of office. Polls carried out in August and September show that Milosevic is trailing his opponent, opposition candidate Vojislav Kostunica. Kostunica has the support of 32.5 percent of the voters compared to Milosevic's 26.6 percent.
SOUTH AMERICA SANTIAGO Chile—A report released in Washington today on the ties between the CIA and Chilean Gen. Manuel Contreras sheds new light on the role played by the U.S. in the early years of the 1973-90 dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet. The document reveals that Contreras, a retired general serving out a seven-year sentence in a Chilean prison, was a CIA informant from 1974 to 1977, and that he even received payment for his services in 1976.

ost parents and other adults are happy about the Harry Potter craze. It encourages reading and imagination, and tears kids away from their Playstations and Pokemon cards. However, some groups are trying to have the books banned, because of the focus on wizardry and magic. "If we ban these books, a dark force stands to be unleashed. It's not the occult. It's ignorance," said John Monk, an editorial writer for The State in Columbia, South Carolina. Ignorance cannot extinguish our First Amendment right to choose to read any and all books- banned, challenged or those otherwise considered "objectionable," said an editorial from the American Library Association. UCO's Chambers Library will host a Banned Books display on the first floor of the library, in honor of Banned Books Week Sept. 23 through 30. "Banned Books Week reminds us that nobody should be complacent in thinking that books are safe from censorship attempts. In schools and libraries across the. country, thousands of books- many of the classics- are still being challenged today," said Amanda
Fuller, reference specialist at Chambers Library. Banned Books Week, now in its 19th year, is sponsored by the American Library Association and is endorsed by the Library of Congress Center for the Book. Last year, the American Library Association logged 472 attempts by groups or individuals to have books removed from library shelves and from classrooms. Research shows that reported challenges represent only 20 to 25 percent of all challenges made.♦

Unapproved biotech corn found in Taco Bell tacos BY DANIELLE KNIGHT
Wire Service Reporter
A
sample of taco shells was found to contain a form of engineered corn not approved for human consumption because it may cause harmful allergies. The type of corn, known as Starlink or Cry9C, is currently only approved in the U.S. for animal consumption, but when environmental and food safety organizations tested samples of commonly found foods, they found that 1 percent of Taco Bell brand taco shells illegally contained this strain of corn. "This is a legal violation and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearly has the authority to seize the product if Taco Bell and Philip Morris do not recall it," says Joseph Mendelson, legal director for the Center for Food Safety, an advocacy group based here. ,
The corn has been modified in a way that makes it difficult to digest by humans. Possible health effects include nausea and anaphylactic shock, but most impacts are not currently known because only a few tests have been conducted, according to Jane Rissler, a senior scientist with the Union of Concerned Scientists. "If it is confirmed we will take all appropriate steps in consultation with the Food and Drug Administration," says Michael Mudd, a spokesman for Kraft. While officials at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have already started an investigation, environmental and public health organizations which conducted the original test on the tacos say this proves that the government is not adequately testing for food safety. "Unfortunately, we had to step into the regulatory vacuum," says Mendelson. "We were the ones that had to go out and test the food and notify the companies and the government."
Mendelson's organization and since the company's data indicate others here have criticized the FDA "that Cry9C exhibits some for calling genetically engineered characteristics of known allergens." foods "substantially equivalent" to Genetically Engineered Food their unmodified counterparts. Alert is calling on the FDA to While half of all quickly soybeans and a third begin testing of all corn in the "This is a legal for the United States is presence of violation and the genetically altered, Cry9C corn the regulatory agency U.S. Food and Drug in all does not test modified products foods for harmful Administration clearly containing health impacts. yellow corn has the authorityto While biotech number 2, industry officials have seize the product if the grade of said that it is easy to corn found Taco Bell... does not get a false positive in these result when testing for shells. recall it.."

cause harmful allergies is one reason consumer and environmental groups are demanding that modified food be labeled in the United States, as it is in some European countries. "Consumers are demanding a choice to either avoid or eat genetically engineered food and that choice is impossible without mandatory labeling," says Rissler with the Union of Concerned Scientists. Proposed legislation is now circulating through Congress that would require mandatory labeling, not just voluntary labeling. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a Democrat from Illinois, is leading the call for more testing and labeling. Upon hearing about the contaminated taco shells, Kucinich told reporters that he was worried that this was a "glimpse of things to come." "This discovery just shows that genetically engineered ingredients should not be on the grocery story shelves when so poorly regulated by the FDA," he said. ♌

TAURUS : ( APRIL 20 - MAY 20 ) You will begin to spew smoke from every orifice, make a horrible rattling noise and sputter this week.. Oh, wait, that is the Ford Taurus. The Zodiac Taurus will just spew smoke.
The stars show you having a terrible week, climaxing Thursday when several surviving members of a really bad 60's band decides to move in next door. Their nostalgic playing will earn you many sleepless nights, a nice padded room, and a prescription for antipsychotic drugs.
Your death next week will be remembered by everyone you know as "that Friday when nothing special happened."
LEO : ( JULY 23 - AUG 22 ) I predict a complete recovery from any horrible injuries you may have acquired during rock-climbing trips last summer. At least I hope so, because my leg is still broken, and I'm really tired of it.
VIRGO : ( AUG 23 - SEPT 22 ) I don't care what the Judge said, you are guilty as sin.

The stars indicate peace and calm this week, but I think they are just trying to lull you into a false sense of security before the fates rip your spleen out through your nose. I predict you will get the Mongolian Death Flu from eating contaminated french fries at a local drive-through, and break both legs in a car wreck while attempting to drive yourself to the hospital. Or maybe you just get a hangnail.

Ok, a Scorpio friend of mine asked me to give her a nice horoscope, so I guess I can predict that you will have a great week. I will just take out my frustrations on Sagitarius.

Your childhood dreams of riding your very own horse will be nearly fulfilled this week when you buy a retired horse from Remington Park. Sadly, when you go to pick up your new equine friend, all you will find are several pots of glue.

CAPRICORN : (DEC 22 - JAN 19) For Capricoms, I have fired up the trusty ol' Cloudy Crystal Ball this week (which just got back from the repair shop after I mistakenly installed Windows 98 on it). It now has a shiny new copy of MAC OS 8.6, just like Vista computers operate on. It will tell me your future in a minute. Just a minute. Any second now.
