Staff Writer ongress was recently asked by the Bush Administration to introduce a bill giving the Education and Justice Departments broader access to student records. Proponents of the bill hope to

combat terrorism by allowing easier access to student records. Many student organizations are worried this bill will unfairly reduce the privacy of students. "Law enforcement wants all possible information right now, but we want to educate people on a law that would make Arab and Muslim students more vulnerable than they already are," said Corye Barbour, U.S. Student Association (USSA) Legislative Director. USSA expected the bill to be introduced during the week of Sept. 17, but now anticipates it to be introduced Thursday Sept 27. "We believe the bill was initially met with negative feedback," Barbour said. "We think they are making changes to

"The information is not very members of Congress, letting them know that this proposed clear," Wilson said. "It's done on a close scrutiny of academic records case by case basis." According to is unacceptable.

restrictions," Nassirian said. Under normal circumstances, law enforcement would have to 'obtain a subpoena to access student records, but due to recent terrorist attacks, Nassirian said the FBI or Secretary of Education could, at any time, access student records if they believe they need help — without a subpoena. "Non-consensual release of private, personal information is allowable for institutions under current law," Nassirian said. "The new bill would significantly alter privacy measures that have been in place for over a quarter century." The type of information law officials may obtain include social security numbers, income, race and religion. FERPA was passed in 1974, during the Nixon administration. Nassirian said it was passed because the FBI was investigating student records to potentially deter opponents of policy administration. "It was inappropriate access of student records of anti-war protesters," he said. •

Disposable cell phones available in October BY MICHAEL LARSON

Staff Writer

isposable cellular phones, which are scheduled to hit

American markets midOctober, have become a catalyst in the reform of traditional wiretapping techniques. U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft cited disposable phones as a possible medium of communication between terrorists during a televised address from Camp David on Sept. 17. Ashcroft believes such technologies will force investigators to now focus on monitoring the suspects themselves, rather than just their phone lines. Disposable cell phone technology was developed by several independent companies in

an effort to attract Americans retail for about $30, which consumers who've yet to purchase includes 30 minutes of airtime.

Brandon Cooper, a senior premed major said companies should market the disposable phones with more airtime. Cooper said he has no trouble using up his allotted 600 minutes a month. Cheryl Laine, nursing sophomore, said she probably wouldn't ever use a disposable cell phone. "I just don't use cell phones," said Laine, who has never owned a cell phone or pager. "I'm still living in the olden days." •

mericans enjoy freedom like no other country. We often forget citizens of many other countries must endure the whimsical, and sometimes radical, wishes of one leader. We have the ability to be active participants in our political future — and we have become spoiled because of this. The Sept. 11 attacks may forever change the freedom and privacy we

take for granted. The obvious result is stricter security at airports, but this is only the beginning. Students may be the next target for governmental paranoia. If President Bush gets approval from Congress to allow looser restrictions on releasing school records to investigative agencies, then the terrorists get one step closer to success. We should not be scrutinized

simply based on ethnicity or religion — and that's what this new legislation will do. We are a melting pot of cultures and we need to defend the diversity that has made this country great. We need to tighten our borders, not our grip on freedom. This is our government and we should tell our elected officials what is acceptable, not the other way around. •

El Sabor dance hosted on University Center patio Nazarene University in Bethany. Four of the members are from South America. Staff Writer Moreno said their favorite part is s the sun set Thursday evening, Latin participating with the crowd. music echoed across campus as the "I like to come out and dance with the Hispanic American Student audience." Association (HASA) and the Multicultural Student Services hosted a dance on the University Center patio at 7 p.m. The event was part of UCO's Hispanic Heritage Month program. The patio was adorned with Christmas lights while several people lingered around the deck waiting to dance. The crowd of about 50 may have been shy at first, but slowly began to find the beat as they tapped their feet to the rhythm of the band. The dance appropriately called El Sabor, meaning Latin flavor, featured the world beat band, Claroscuro. "We use several international flavors in our music. There are samples of Cuban, rhythm and blues, jazz, African beat— basically it's dancing music," said pianist, vocalist and sociology junior Christy Photo by Leith Laws Moreno. The five-member band met one and a Leo Lacroix and his wife, Jo Brooks, half years ago as students at Southern dance at the Sept. 21 El Sabor. BY LAURA BELLO

Moreno said Claroscuro offers happy music. "That's hard to find. There seems to be a lack of joy in life and in a lot of music," she said. The band's purpose is to promote unity within diverse cultures, religions and races. "We believe that we are all equal—we have the same rights and we should share these things," Moreno said. Moreno and her brother, bassist Sergio Moreno, were raised in the music business. Their father is a music producer in Mexico. "I've been a musician since I can remember. It has always been a part of my life. It's a need I have, a way of expressing myself," Christy Moreno said. Enjoying the music with his girlfriend, computer science sophomore James Truby said. that he came out as a requirement for his Spanish class. "I'm having a good time. I like the music—if it was bad I wouldn't be here," he said. On Tuesday before El Sabor, HASA provided free dance lessons. The lessons were called Bailamos, which translates,. "We dance."

"About 20 people came to the lessons. Tonight they can come back and use what they learned," said Leticia Barrios, public relations person for HASA. She said the music at the lessons was merangie, salsa and tejano. "Since this month is Hispanic Heritage Month, we decided to have the lessons and dance. We want to have more events too," Barrios said. HASA advisor and Multicultural Student Services coordinator, Lakrista Page-Sen, said HASA is active on campus and the community. "On campus they have done food drives. In the Hispanic community, many of them work with the Latino Development Agency which teaches English," Page-Sen said. She said many students from the Asian clubs and the Black Student Association came to the dance lessons. "Everyone just joins in. Tonight is their night to show off their skills," Page-Sen said. HASA has 40 members and welcomes all students. Some upcoming events include the Oct. 27 Miss Hispanic UCO pageant at Constitution Hall. For more information, call Page-Sen at 974-5944. •

UCO dietetic students serve lunch and more at Central Station BY SARAH BLOUNT

Staff Writer

t's 9:30 a.m. and senior dietetic majors Jessica Rudewick, Stacy Buzan and Yun Chen are busy preparing made-from-scratch taco salad, Chinese hot and sour soup, fresh apple pie and lemon poppyseed muffins. After completing three weeks of training and lecture, students began serving UCO last week at Central Station, a student-run and managed foodservice operation in the Human Environmental Sciences Building. "The operation is very extensive. Students take two weeks to prepare a menu, make the schedule and monitor the equipment," said Dr. Marilyn Waters, dietetics professor in Human Environmental Sciences. Central Station is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday, in Room 111. The full kitchen serves lunch, but early customers can enjoy coffee, espresso and biscotti from the coffee bar. Students looking for a convenient lunch can choose between sandwiches, soup, salad,

SPORTS Bronchos soccer scores a "goal in one" over Bacone BY RYAN Ross

Sports Editor

CO soccer keeps its home streak alive by beating Bacone University, 4-1, on Sunday, Sept. 23 at Tom Thompson Field. The Bronchos added another notch to their victory belts as they won their third straight victory. The victory was UCO's 12th straight home game win. "We got good players who aren't performing up to their capabilities and that's frustrating," said head coach Mike Cook who was less than pleased by his teams performance. "We won the game, but we didn't play anywhere near like we should have. Hopefully we can figure out what's keeping us from playing to our potential and get going like I know we can." Junior forward Kim Brown once again lead the Bronchos charge, having her third straight three-goal game. Brown broke a school record and a Lone Star Conference (LSC) career record. Her three-goal outing gives her 133 career points, breaking the previous LSC and UCO record of 129 held by former UCO star Sally Holmes.

Brown tied Holmes' school and league record for career goals with 56. The Norman native got her first goal of the game just 5:30 into the game, dribbling in from mid-field and putting in a shot from 10 feet in front of the goal. She gave the Bronchos a 2-0 lead less than four minutes later, taking a pass from Chelsea Holland and knocking in a shot from 10 yards away. With the first half winding down, Brown finished up her astonishing first half performance when she took a shot from Gina Mix, worked past one Bacone defender, and thundered a shot into the corner of the net for her 19th goal of the relatively young 2001 season. Bacone's only goal of the game came in the 38th minute to pull

within 3-1. UCO ended the game with a goal from Liz Martin. Martin chipped in a shot from right in front of the net off a pass from Denae Taylor. Amanda Hillier took full control of the goal to pick up her fifth win of the season, while Lisa Hansen and Melissa Bums helped lead UCO's defense effort that limited Bacone to just six shots. UCO will once again have the home field advantage as they host New Mexico Highlands on Friday, Sept. 28 at 3p.m. The Bronchos will then take on Southern Colorado on Sunday, Sept. 30 at 12 p.m. For the latest sports information visit the Bronchos website www.bronchosports.com and for the latest UCO news visit www.thevistaonline.com. •

The Edmond Mosque had several people stand outside and chant threats just days after the terrorist attacks, but no one was hurt. "Things have been really calm in Edmond. I think the whole state has been pretty good because of the bombing. The people here are probably a little more sensitive because of that," said Glynda Chu, Edmond Police Department Public

Information Officer. At UCO, the treats have been few, but some of the Eastern heritage students still don't feel comfortable. "I don't feel real safe, but what can I do," freshman Talha Khan said. Ted Jones, Assistant Chief of Police said the campus has been relatively calm. "The day after the attacks, the Pakistan Student Association did show some concern for their safety, but we spoke to them, and everything has been good since," Jones said. • Log on to www.thevistaonline.corn 24 hours a day for campus news or to sound off on current issues.

kooks spouting their beliefs to whomever would listen. It was just part of the ambience of that cultural magnet we called the Great State Fair of Oklahoma. So what the hell happened? My fiance and I went to the Fairgrounds the evening of Sept. 21 and we were astonished by what we saw, or rather, didn't see. Not only were there drastically fewer people as compared with past years, but the number of attractions was also sharply diminished. I may have been mistaken, but it also seemed some of the buildings were missing. Where did everything go? The usually crowded and difficult-to-navigate Arts and Crafts building surprisingly had room to move. While in most cases I'd have been thrilled to avoid the wheels of errant strollers, this time the building seemed deserted. Don't even get me started about the Made in Oklahoma building. The fair blamed low attendance on the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, but I think they're just covering their derrieres. The fair management changed the name from The Great State Fair of Oklahoma to The Oklahoma State Fair this year. Their reasoning? That's what everyone was calling it anyway, so why not make it the official name? My grandma always said if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I think somebody at the fair should have listened to her. In the name of family entertainment, our State Fair, once named one of the best in the nation, has lost its allure, only to be replaced by clean bathrooms and a Bobo-free midway. How boring. How dull. How appropriately Oklahoman. •

writing style than mine, although I suspect it is just a couple of Vista staff members trying to play a trick on me in this week's column. Normally I would beat them about the head and neck with various blunt objects, because I am a senior and we can get away with that sort of thing, but I am desperate this week. You see, the stream of hate mail, honest questions and vague threats involving farm equipment and sensitive parts of my anatomy has ceased, my e-mail box is empty. I simply have no questions this week, but I still have to fill this column or The Vista's editors will shave my cat, pee on my toilet seat and spill grape Kool-Aid, on my carpet. Again. So if you are one of the estimated five people who reads this column, and you don't want me to resort to writing horoscopes again, send in a question. I guarantee an answer to every e-mail (although the answers may be wildly inaccurate). I will even answer questions via e-mail if you don't want them to grace the pages of The Vista for all your friends, classmates and illicit sex partners to see.
