Members are even encouraged to start their own groups at UCO if a particular need hasn't been addressed. PLC members developed ROCK-U, an on-campus Christian missionary organization, last year. With several organizations available to undergraduates, and encouragement to start new ones, PLC members often become the leaders of the organizations to which they belong.

We used many different kinds of paints — some were light sensitive, others needed longer times to dry," he said. "A lot of the work was tedious and hard, but it's rewarding knowing the work you've done will make it last." Besides physical rehabilitation to the homestead, he also gave interpretation tours.

BOWMAN: History anyone?

He said that adding legends or superstitions to the tours increased the attention of the visitors. "I wanted to make it personable, so it was not boring," Bowman said. One rumor was that the homestead was haunted. "Some people from the park service council of elders brought in para-psychologists to investigate the place. They looked for anything that seemed suspicious like light variations and temperature shifts. They set up videos to see if anything moved on its own," he said. Johnson's monument is said to have him buried underneath, wrapped in the American flag with the constitution snuggled under his head, Bowman said. He said, Johnson was impeached because he was a firm believer in the constitution. After the war, many in the senate wanted to take away the rights of people in the south. "The story is obscure to most, but all have their history," Bowman said He also had to adjust from his normal habits as a college student to a modem day mountain man.

Sports Writer

CO soccer was dealt their first loss of the 2001 season in Tampa, Fla. on Sunday, Sept. 2 as they fell to Eckerd, 2-1. The No. 6 ranked Bronchos, who on Friday had beaten Tampa, 3-0, fell to the Tritons of St. Petersburg, Fla. The Tritons had already knocked off seventhranked Southern Connecticut in Friday's other game. "I watched Eckerd play Friday

and you've got to give them credit, but at the same time we didn't play anywhere near like we're capable of," UCO coach Mike Cook said. We didn't execute on offense and we didn't play defense like we have been." UCO started things off with a quick lead when Kim Brown scored her fifth goal of the season from a quick pass from Gina Mix just six seconds into the contest. The Bronchos lead was shortly lived as Eckerd tied the game in the 13th minute. However, UCO

rallied back a minute later on Mix's unassisted goal, her first of the season. The Tritons tied the score 2-2 as the first half came to a close. The score remained a 2-2 deadlock until the Tritons scored in the 54th minute to take a 3-2 lead. UCO could do little to change the score in the remaining 36 minutes of play. The Bronchos return home to host the Dr. Pepper Classic on Sept. 7-8 at Tom Thompson Field. •

Clint Loyd, former UCO Broncho wrestler, died tragically Thursday Aug. 30, 2001 in a motorcycle accident. Loyd was a four-starter for Marlow High School. While at UCO, Loyd wrestled and was a track and field standout. "Clint was a great young man, this accident is very unfortunate, our thoughts and prayers are with Clint's family," said UCO wrestling head coach David James.

triumphed over Harding 30-26, 30-23, 30-20, with Alma Brahimaj and Tori Walker uniting for 26 kills. UCO then took control of the second match, downing Armstrong Atlantic 3023, 30-19, 30-24. On the second day of competition UCO's winning streak was cut short as Emporia State nipped the Bronchos, 3-2. The Bronchos, down but far from

out, rallied back as they thrashed Southern Arkansas, 3-0,aHead coach Mark Herrin, who has lead the Bronchos for 12 years was pleased about their performance. "We played pretty well in both matches and got a couple of nice wins," said Herrin, who picked up his 250th career win with UCO's victory over Harding. "We had a lot of balance and

spread things out a lot, which made it tough to stop us." Leading UCO's offensive attack this weekend was Alma Brahimaj. The Albanian native finished the weekend with 18 kills and 11 digs while Tori Walker finished the tournament with 10 kills. Katy Wallace also contributed eight kills to the weekend effort. Other top performers were

The games will be from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. every Friday from Sept. 14 through Oct. 7. at the World Class Sports Complex in Edmond. The tournament involves teams from several countries and encourages camaraderie between ethnic groups on campus. "It brings everyone together, similar to intramural sports but with a global taste," said Jalal Daneshfar, coordinator of International Activities. The World Cup tournament has been held annually since 1997. Daneshfar said he helped develop the tournament because he wanted an activity that wasn't

exclusive to any culturatgroup. He also said he believes in the skill of UCO athletes. "Soccer is a popular sport worldwide, and UCO has a good soccer program," Daneshfar said. Diaske Kafahara of Japan plans on defending his team's title as last year's champion. "We have enough people for two teams, and we'll do our best and have fun," Kafahara said. Daneshfar said last year's rivalry between countries included flags and music from spectators, creating both a sporting and multicultural atmosphere. The championship game received coverage from both KWTV News 9 and the Edmond Sun. Registration is free, and must be done by Friday Sept. 7. The competition is open to any student, faculty or staff member. For more inforMation, contact Daneshfar at 974 7 2377. •

UCO Students have opportunity to study abroad BY DANIEL HOLDGE

Staff Writer he Summer Study Abroad Program begins in May 2002, but spots are filling quickly. John Frair, professor of journalism, will be teaching Studies in British Photography, and said his class is already filling up. "I am taking 15 students this year, and nine have already committed to the class that is 11 months away." There are seven courses offered, with two more possibly coming. Some of the courses include, travel writing in journalism, introduction to European studies and Shakespeare's England. They are lead by UCO professors, who choose the content of the class. For example, the Century of Triumph and Tragedy class takes the students to major battle sites in France, Germany and Austria. Dr. T.H. Baughman, dean of Liberal Arts, said this is an experience everyone should take advantage of. "This experience more than anything else students do in college will change their lives." Courses range from $3,000 to $3,700, although most cost $3,200. A $300 nonrefundable deposit is required, with a second payment of $1500 due Jan. 31, and then the remaining balance on March 1. This price includes airfare, lodging and tuition, with

some courses including meals, entrance to museums, local transportation and tours of sites. The classes also vary in length from 15 to 30 days. Senior John Haque, a theater major, took the study abroad program last July, said the program is worth every penny. "I would have paid twice the money for the same experience. It was just an incredible time." The Study Abroad Program is directed toward and available to any UCO student. "Every student should have as his or her

goal to study abroad during college," "The best thing is experiencing the Baughman said. world, really seeing the Eiffel Tower, instead Students will not only learn from the of seeing it in a book or movie," Baughman course, but the culture that will change their said. lives, Baughman said.

Staff Writer Student he Taiwan Association (TSA) will host a welcoming party this month at an Edmond Chinese restaurant for students interested in learning more about the organization. The party will start at 11:30 a.m., Sept. 8 at China Star, a restaurant located at 1601 S. Broadway in Edmond, near 15th street. "We are inviting UCO's president and some professors to the party. We are encouraging our members to meet members of the faculty," said TSA president Patrick Chen, third semester MBA student. TSA is also planning to invite the president of the Oklahoma Taiwan Organization and the director of the English Language Institute. The restaurant will close for the party. The buffet will cost $5, but will be free for those who pay the $10 fee to become TSA members for the fall semester. There will be randomized assigned seating and a drawing for a door prize. They have also scheduled a barbecue, a tour of downtown

The organization has members from Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan and America. The TSA yearbook, which is free for members, is published every semester and contains photos of the semester's activities, TSA finance reports, movie reviews, poems, important member issues, safety pointers for living abroad, and a directory of members. TSA also recently applied for web space on UCO's computers, and will be up soon, Chang said.

Maria Chen, a graduate student studying TESL, said, "People think it's just about food and games, but TSA is a family, and we need love to grow better and stronger." •

He Said

ear He Said She Said: Last

week at a party I met a very sweet guy. He just pledged house and I'm not in any house. Is it okay for me to go out with him? Signed, GDI

e Said: I assume that you are

referring to a fraternity or sorority house, unless you are reading our advice column while using the sports section as a blanket on a park bench. If the former, who the hell cares if a Greek dates an Independent? Date who you like. I'm in the world's largest fraternity (TKE), and my girlfriend has never even tried to join a sorority. Whoever works for you is all that matters. he Said:

I don't see any reason why you can't date this guy, unless he's a serial rapist, belongs to some sort of strange cult, or has an unusual fixation on those Faces of Death movies. Most college students (and I stress MOST) are mature enough to look past your affiliations or lack thereof when deciding who they should date. Be friendly and be yourself when talking with him. If he's interested in you he'll come around. If not, there are plenty of other guys out there who are worth your interest.

ear He Said She Said: Every time I go to a party I end up as

the designated driver. My friends basically throw their keys at me and tell me I am driving. What can I do? What should I tell my friends? I want to party! Signed, Cabby

he Said: Someone once said that you can't become a victim

unless you let someone take advantage of you (or something like that). From what you've told us, your friends just assume you'll drive because you have always done so. So long as you give in your friends will assume that you have no problem with the current situation. Next time you go out with your friends make it clear before you leave that you will not be driving for that evening. Better yet, devise a plan where you and your friends can take turns being the designated driver, or pool your funds and hire a taxi. Above all, make sure that the designated driver is a reliable person and does not give in to drinking and driving. e Said: Tell them your car is dead, so you have to drive one of theirs. Before they come to pick you up to be their DD, eat a meatball sandwich, a shrimp cocktail, some chocolate pudding and a tub of yogurt. Wash it all down with some Tequila. Then puke in the back seat of their car, just for kicks. No, seriously, just have a drink or two before they get there, and make sure to let them know you are tipsy. Tell them an old friend just blew in from out of town and you celebrated a bit. They will have no choice but to take the reigns that night and you can party. And on the way home, you can puke in the back seat. On that note, if you would like some stellar and well - thought out advice like our friends GDI and Cabby, and don't mind the fact that we will randomly change your name to suit our own inside jokes while generally mocking your life-shattering problems, send us a question! Or send us an answer! Or send us hate mail! I used to get hate mail all the time, and I miss it. What do we have to say to make you people mad? â&#x20AC;˘
