Rock the Vote echoes over campus
— Page 9
by Jim Epperson Contributing writer Despite a late start, 105 UCO students registered to vote during Rock the Vote Sept. 5, said Blake Fry, campus life director and supervisor of the event. "Registering people to vote is the main reason we did this," Fry said. Political candidates who attended the event said college students should engage in the democratic process. "It is fundameritally essential to maintain the health of democracy by making sure all components are involved, especially our youth," said David Walters, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate. Independent gubernatorial candidate Garry Richardson agreed. "Our government needs to be run on the will of the people and it can't if people are not going out to the polls," Richardson said. Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Largent said it's important to hear young people's voices. Olivia Frisbie, a volunteer and a UCO graduate, said, "We cannot rely on our parents to do it forever. Parents usually are the ones making the decisions and being politically minded." Jennifer Garrett, Interpersonal Communication senior, said she volunteered for

Dan Lutz was a long time on-air personality for Citadel Communication's Sports Animal radio network and a co-host on "The Morning Animal." Lutz died in March, after a two-year battle with cancer. UCO governs the rehabilitation program, partially funded by private donations made to the Dan Lutz Rehabilitation Fund, McGivern said. McGivern taught Lutz to drive. That experience inspired Lutz to create the fund, said Debra Lutz Stutzman, Lutz's sister. "We have so much work to do and there is so much that we can do with this," Lutz Stutzman said. Originally, the fund was called the Dan Lutz Foundation, Lutz Stutzman said. Lutz created the foundation in early 2001, several months after he was first diagnosed with cancer, Lutz Stutzman said. Guthrie auto dealer John Vance and associate Jim Newby are donating the funds for the van, McGivern said. The van will contain electronic, hydraulic and other equipment needed to make the van accessible to students with disabilities. Additionally, Dr. Tony Cruse, UCO athletic department team physician, has donated $25,000 to the Dan Lutz Rehabilitation Fund, McGivern said. McGivern said the "Dan Van" might arrive in January. "Dan would be ecstatic, overjoyed about this," said Mike Steely, a cohost on "The Morning Animal." "In the later months of his life he was concerned about his legacy, not about his work in sports, but with helping people make their lives better," Steely said. Lutz Stutzman said several fund-related projects would be forthcoming. Dan wanted to build a ballpark with a special surface for people with disabilities, Lutz Stutzman said. He got the idea from a similar ballpark in another state, she said. The Dan Lutz Rehabilitation Fund will be holding an auction sometime this spring, Lutz Stutzman said. Items up for sale will include OU and OSU sports memorabilia. The items to be auctioned off will be posted for viewing on the fund's website (www.ucok.edu\Dan_Lutz_driving\). McGivern said other primary contributors to the fund have been Citadel Communications and Independent Driving Systems, a Houston, Texas company. The fund also helps pay for upkeep on the cars and vans. Presently, the driving program has two cars and one van, McGivern said. "Dan always had time for other people, even when he was sick," Lutz Stutzman said. "He just inspired me, probably more in the last year more than ever."

Title III program develops skills by Summer Pratt sp@thevistaonline.com The U.S. Department of Education awarded UCO with a $1.75 million Title III grant. The purpose of the grant is to help students get through their freshman year successfully, Julio Pacheco, technology designer/trainer for Title III said. Carla Wood said freshman who want help with stress management, learning study skills, and career guidance, may participate in the Title III programs. Pacheco said a four-part system has been set up to accomplish the goals of Title III.
One of the systems, headed by Pacheco, is training faculty to use technology. "Research has shown that when you use technology, students learn and like it," he said. The next system is the Supplemental Instruction Program. Andrew Fox, senior history major and supplemental instructor, said it's a series of weekly review sessions for students who want help with class work. Fox became involved in the program last fall, after being recommended by a professor. The supplemental instructors attend freshman level

Cartoon by Chris Maupin
"No."
Three weeks into the semester and UCO campus is already turning into a dumpster, and we have no one to blame but ourselves. But then again, it could be the few students among us that have never learned to pick up after themselves — even after entering college. Stop by the Broncho Lake sometime, but not for too long, and keep an eye out for those empty disposable cups, drinking straws, soda cans, flyers, and cigarette butts on the ground or in the lake. It's simply puzzling to some of us to see the trash, when there is usually a garbage can five steps further down the sidewalk. How can anyone justify not walking the extra few steps to put the garbage where it belongs?
And then there are those papers casually thrown around on the floor, on the chairs, in the bathrooms and on the grass. We love having The New York Times on campus. However, when you are done reading it and you've decided that you don't really want to keep it, don't be a lazy bum. Either fold the paper up and put it back on the shelf or throw it in the trashcan. The same rules apply to The Vista, and please believe us when we say that we'd much rather you throw it in the garbage, than to use it as a tool to create a messy campus. Come on, people. You can do better than littering all over this campus, right? If you care going to make a mess, do it at home, where your mom can follow you around with the sweeper.

EDITOR'S NOTE: For many Americans, life after Sept. 11, 2001, has changed. It's not as easy to get on an airplane or ignore the evening news or walk past a tall building. But it is easier to admire courage and to cling to loved ones. Associated Press members and staffers in New Mexico asked the following question of people in their community: "What one thing do you do differently as a result of Sept. 11?"
Here are their responses: "I'm thankful for the stuff I have, freedom." Shane Eldridge, 10, of Alamogordo, steer rider. "Watch the news. Because I just want to know what's going on with the war _ CNN, Fox, Albuquerque Journal, New Mexican, Las Vegas Daily Optic _ I mean everything. Articles in magazines _ I even subscribe to Time. I never used to do that. All I used to watch was the news at 6 p.m., and that was it. My brother-in-law has been there (in Afghanistan) for eight months." Lorraine Padilla, 41, of Las Vegas, city employee.
"No. Not the lake out there, its a dangerous piece of real estate." DR. CHARLES SIMMONS associate professor Journalism

English professors publish a new hands-on book by Michael Larson ml@thevistaonline.com This semester, many students will drop into the bookstore for their English Grammar and Composition textbooks and find a textbook written specifically for UCO students by UCO professors. "Red Dirt Reader" includes sections on such topics as gender and ethnicity and encourages students to do something they may have been discouraged to do in the past: scribble in the textbook. "We kept the margins intentionally large to allow them to annotate as they read," said Wayne Stein, co-author and director of Freshman English. "We made it into a workbook so they can annotate and actually use it in a hands-on way." Co-author Pamela Washington, assistant dean of Liberal Arts, said "You can't absorb the information unless you interact with the text." Using a highlighter, Washington said, just does-
n't cut it. Another measure "Red Dirt Reader" compilers took was to include essays written by UCO professors and adjuncts. "Students usually don't see their teacher's writing," said Deborah Israel, an English lecturer and co-author of the book. `This shows that teachers care and it makes students want to read it more." The text also includes essays from students who took English Grammar and Composition in Spring 2002 and entered the "Red Dirt Reader" Essay Contest. Next spring, another contest will decide student essays for the book's next edition. "In having a real audience, we hope the student will feel their work is more important than if it were just an instructor reading it." The textbook authors met once a week for two semesters and proofread the story twice over the
summer. One element writers chose to emphasize in the book is the creative process. Students' essays are published in various stages in the textbook, from rough draft to their final form, complete with their teacher's suggestion notes. Stein said, "A lot of students don't think they have a writing process, but it's important to realize that everyone has one. Some people drink coffee before hand, or listen to music while they write. Some people just throw it all together at the last minute. These are still part of their writing process." "Red Dirt Reader" will replace "Motives for Writing," the original textbook for Freshman Composition, which Stein said contained no student writings and nothing to do with Oklahoma. Stein said he has wanted a custom textbook for Freshman English for several years, but the idea had been rejected until English Chair Steve Garrison
and Liberal Arts Dean Tim Baughman recently approved of the project. James Dolph, a UCO adjunct, said he was thrilled about teaching out of "Red Dirt Reader." "Freshmen are particularly bad about reading assignments. Most of the pieces in the book are short enough that we can read a lot of them in class." Dolph said he plans to take his classes through the entire text, including the "Style Notes," which he hopes will improve student's writing mechanics. Stein said the authors are forgoing their royalties and instead channeling them back into the Composition Program, where they can be used for projects and future editions. An original textbook for UCO's sophomore level English composition class is already in the planning stages and Stein said the department might work on a version for non-native Englishspeaking students in the future.

Along with organizational skills, students will learn to use the technology to write curriculum. by Kristen Armstrong ka@thevistaonline.com The College of Education's Center for Teaching Excellence has recently received a $105,000 federal grant to instruct future teachers in the implementation of Palm Pilots into today's classroom. The PALS II Grant is a partnership among the Oklahoma State Board of Education, Putnam City Schools, and the Center for Teaching Excellence, said Dana Owens, director of technology and special projects for the Center for Teaching Excellence. "It gives us the ability to purchase 120 Palm Pilots. Ninety will be used by students; 30 will be for faculty," she said. Palm Pilots have been implemented in schools across the country, but no other university is actively preparing future teachers for its classroom potential, said Owens. This spring, UCO education students will learn the classroom uses of Palm in two courses: Instructional Technology and Secondary Education Methods. They will learn how to use the Palms and the how to effectively write curriculum to include the technology. "Good teachers use lots of tools and use them effectively," she said. Thirty UCO faculty members have been trained in the use of Palm Pilots to teach students in the education program. Owens said, "Starting with the basic use for Palms, students can learn organizational skills. They can hold all the

information of a textbook or an encyclopaedia. They can have databases for math classes; charts and graphs for social studies." The PALS II Grant will provide funding for one year, after which, Owens said it will be easier to gain access to similar grants that will allow the spread of technology. Putnam City Schools have already experimented with Palms in the classroom. Last year, Mayfield Middle School began using Palms with the eighth grade students, said Steve Lindley, director of Communications for Putnam City Schools. "When I visited the school, I felt like I was in the classroom of the future," he said. Owens agrees. "Palms may not be the one answer for education, but they are certainly another way to reach students. They close the
gap between those that have access to personal computers and those that do not," she said. "Students want to use it. Palms make learning fun," she said. Owens said though technology may continue to advance, the Palms purchased today will still
be usable in the future since the basic functions will be used most. Owens said Palms can be seen as "anytime, anywhere learning." "The possibilities are widespread. Teachers are limited only by their creativity."

nator, said stroke, cerebral palsy, hearing loss and brain injury are among the numerous disorders causing speech and language problems. McLaughlin said in public schools speech-language pathologists work somewhat independently. Often there is only one speech-language pathologist per building, he said. They must cooperate effectively with classroom teachers. "The challenge is to integrate their goals into classroom skills," McLaughlin said. Those skills include what McLaughlin calls "visual speech," helping clients learn to discriminate sounds associated with letter reading. Other goals are to improve vocabulary and comprehension and to improve grammar. McLaughlin is also a speechlanguage pathologist at the UCO clinic, which serves clients from age two to 80. On average, the UCO clinic sees 60 clients each week, Reynolds said. Due to a shortage of space, there is a waiting list, she said. Formerly located in Old North, the clinic shares space within the Psychology Center inside the Education Building. "We've tried hard to coordinate our efforts," Reynolds said.

conducted. Once a diagnosis has been made, individualized treatment plans are developed, Reynolds said. Senior and graduate clinicians supervised by licensed, certified staff and faculty work with the clients. "The most rewarding part of my work is sharing the information that I have learned as a practicing physician with students who then share that information with their clients," Reynolds said. McLaughlin said the work can be demanding, depending on the needs of a client. And there is always a great deal of paperwork to process. Due to the nature of the work, speech-language pathologists must be patient, compassionate and empathetic, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Most states, including Oklahoma, require that speech-language pathologists have a master's degree.
The aging of the baby boomer generation is the main factor contributing to the increasing number of speech-language pathologists, according to the BLS. Hearing loss is cornmon among those aged 55 or older. Other reasons for the accelerating growth include increased early diagnosis of speech, language and hearing disorders, according to the BLS. Hospitals, schools and nursing homes will be increasing their use of contract services. In 2000, median income for speech-language pathologists was $46,640, according to the BLS. The top 10 percent earned more than $69,980, the bottom 10 percent less than $30,720. Services at the UCO clinic are free to faculty, staff and students, Reynolds said. Business hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Friday. For more information call 974-5705.

M
ost Sports Animal radio network listeners didn't know Dan Lutz couldn't walk. They didn't know he had a slight speech impediment. And they didn't know he had cancer. Dan's co-workers said that's just the way he liked it. Cerebral palsy had confined Dan to a wheelchair. But it couldn't keep him from being a sports fan. Most of all, Dan loved baseball, America's past time. And that love was as deeply rooted as the cottonwood trees sprouting from the prairie surrounding his boyhood home in North Dakota. Bowman, North Dakota is located near the southwest corner of the state. The eight members of the Lutz family lived in a 14-foot-wide trailer home. Dan liked to watch sports on television and fish in ponds and in lakes. Dan's father worked in the oil fields. At that time, his mother was a homemaker. She suffered from multiple illnesses, among them heart problems, which prevented her from working outside the home, said Dan's sister, Debra Lutz Stutzman. Dan's mother died the day after she turned 46. He was 13. One Christmas, Dan pestered his father into giving him a multi-band radio so he could listen to Minnesota Twins games. He couldn't play baseball. But he could still be a fan. During that era, the Twins had players like all-star first baseman Rod Carew, lefty Jerry Koosman, infielder Roy Smalley and John Castino, 1979 Rookie of the Year. As a magnet is to metal, the sights, sounds and smells of a baseball game are to many a young lad. Dan caught baseball fever. And at some point in his life, it inspired a dream, to combine sports with broadcasting, a way he could make a living, be more independent. "He didn't want to be a `bum,' and those were his own words," Lutz Stutzman said. In high school, despite the presence of a slight speech impediment, Dan joined the speech club and became an award-winning debater. He thought he was honored because he was handicapped, Lutz Stutzman said. She thinks he earned it. After high school, Dan
"Dan was an inspiration, a loyal friend and a great example of how to live life." - Mike Steely The Sports Animal "You got to the point where you didn't see a man in a wheelchair — you just saw Dan." "Dan always faced his fears head on. He dealt with them and got them out of the way right away." - Jay Lynch The Sports Aniaml
personality with Citadel Communication's Sports Animal radio network, helped Dan get his first radio job in Oklahoma with a local AM station. At the AM station, Dan produced the "Afternoon Sports Beat," hosted by Jim Traber, a former major leaguer who had played college baseball at Oklahoma State University. Dan had many baseball-related conversations with callers. Citadel Communications bought the radio station in July 1998, said Chris Baker, Citadel operations manager. For a while Dan teamed up with Mark Rodgers in the 1-4 p.m. time slot. After Rodgers moved on, Dan switched to mornings with Mark Shannon. Shannon called his one-man
show "The Morning Animal." It evolved into its present format with multiple hosts. Dan was often on the wrong end of a Mike Steely punch line. He realized it wasn't personal and became a willing participant, said Steely, a co-host on "The Morning Animal." Dedicated, funny, hard working and humble were but a few of the words co-workers and members of management used to describe Dan. With no vehicle of his own, Dan was driven to and from work. For a while, he bunked with Steely. One Friday night, after work, Steely and Dan arrived at the apartment. Dan sized up the tall flight of ascending stairs. Steely offered to carry Dan up to his apartment. Dan declined and pulled himself up the entire way. "He was very prideful, fiercely independent," said Jay Lynch, known to Sports Animal fans as "Lump." "That's what kept him going." Mike Platter, one of Dan's pastors at First Church of the Nazarene, Oklahoma City said, "The thing I liked about Dan was his philosophy about life: `When life kicks you, kick it forward.' Dan never let the rough things in life turn him into a rough person." In 1999, Dan met John McGivern, a driving instructor at the UCO Rehabilitative Driving Program. Dan still didn't own a car and wanted to become more independent. Lynch said, ''Dan always faced his fears head on. He dealt with them and got them out of the way right away." McGivern said, "His biggest problem was when he needed to go somewhere, he didn't have a lot of confidence about being able to get there. He never had to be aware of his surroundings before since he was being driven around." Besides the task at hand, McGivern and Dan had something else in common — they both liked sports. Prior to working full-time with the rehabilitation program, McGivern was offensive coordinator for the UCO football team. "For him, the best moment in life was to learn how to drive and to get that driver's license," McGivern said. "The biggest thing Dan did was make people aware of the program. Plus, he gave a lot of people hope and confidence to come in and learn to drive. People honestly connected with him, believed that he wasn't just blowing smoke." In 2000, . Dan got his own van. Steely said Dan's self-esteem
skyrocketed after that. "It gave him freedom." About the same time in November of 2000, Dan was diagnosed with cancer. After the initial series of chemotherapy treatments, Dan thought he was cancer free. He knew the cancer could come back. "Dan decided that if the cancer came back, he didn't want to know how long he'd have to live," said pastor Platter. Dan returned to work at the radio station. Later, the cancer, which would eventually take his life, came back. ne evening, Dan told members of the First Church of the Nazarene that he had gotten more serious about his faith during the last year of his life, Platter said. He had come to really believe that his life was in God's hands." Dan believed that every day is a gift, Platter said. His trust in ad and his personal relationship with Jesus Christ were an important part of the person he was. "He was a seeker after God who became convinced at the core that God loved him totally," Platter said. Dan shared his faith with the congregation so the members, in turn, could help others with disabilities, Platter said. He said Dan wanted to point people toward God. Dan Lutz died on a Saturday night in March. He was 36. The
next day, Steely and Dean Blevins, KWTV 9 sports anchor, went on the air and passed the news on to the Sports Animal listening audience. "I knew that I wouldn't see him again and it made me sad, but he was free of pain," Steely said. "I had this mental picture of Dan being able to move freely for the first time." Lynch said, "Dan no longer is in a wheel chair." Steely and Blevins eulogized
Dan at his funeral, held at First Church of the Nazarene. WWLS AM 640 played a tribute to him during the service so his co-workers could attend. Steely estimated 200 people remembered Dan that day. "Dan was an inspiration, a loyal friend and a great example of how to live life," Steely said. Lynch said, "You got to the point where you didn't see a man in a wheelchair — you just saw Dan."

Car show funds aid community center
The hills are alive with the sounds of UCO
The eighth annual Route 66 Classic Car Show will be held from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Sept. 21 on UCO campus. Joey Shaw, Director of Edmond Family Center, said the show is a major fundraiser for the Edmond Family Center and for the HOPE Center. Mary Alexander, who is on the board of directors for the Edmond Family Center, said initially the funds were used to pay for the new facility where both organizations are housed. This year the monies are going to pay off the remaining debt, she said. The Edmond Family Center is a local non-profit counseling agency that has been part of the Edmond community for 28 years. The center provides alcohol and drug counseling, youth and adult counseling, anger management and various other class-
"We offer emergency money for utilities and rent in the event of a crisis as well as help provide for basic needs," said Woods. Shaw said the car show itself will include antique cars from the early 1900's as well as current model vehicles. Alexander said trophies will be given for Best Paint, Best Interior, Best Engine, Top Three Original Cars and the car club with the most entries. Gift certificates will also be given as prizes. A panel of judges will determine the winners, and there will be participant voting for each class. For registration or more information, call 341-3511.

UCO Graduate student Aery Choi attended an opera workshop in Salzburg, Austria this past July. She smiles with one of the workshop's teachers, Professor Martha Sharp of the Mazartium Conservaory.
Choi and Ariela Kaleef, a OCU student working toward her masters in vocal performance, into the program. Manning said they studied under Martha Sharp, a professor at The Mozarteum, a world famous music conservatory in Salzburg, Austria. Sharp taught the students acting exercises and how to put together sets, props, and costumes, Manning said. Choi said, "The best part about studying in Austria is being able to connect with so many different people through music." "We not only learned about singing but also acting and how to effectively communicate with an audience." Choi said the language barrier was never a problem because all of the students learned to work together. Manning said that at the end of the workshop the students performed scenes from five operas for residents and tourists in Lofer. The operas included Idomeneo, The Marriage of Figaro, Carmen, Hansel and Gretle, and The Elixer of Love. Manning said he hopes that the upcoming summer program will be as successful as the one taken last summer. Anyone interested in applying for the summer program may contact Dr. Manning for more information at 974-5758 or e-mail rmanning@ucok.edu .

LAKEVIEW, Ore. (AP) Debra Angeline Schwarz apparently wanted to make sure Lake County authorities realized she wasn't happy about getting a ticket. The Eugene woman received a traffic citation when traveling through the county two years ago. To settle it, she sent a "squishy" package that included a $350 money order and a "brown, pasty substance." With a smell that almost knocked them off their feet, it didn't take workers long to identify the contents. "Everyone who had come in contact with the envelope testified that there was no doubt that the envelope was half-full of feces," said Lake County District Attorney David Schutt. Schwarz, 44, was found guilty Wednesday of criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and obstructing government administration. A sentencing date has not been scheduled. Schwarz took the stand in her own defense during her trial last week and testified that she had given the envelope and signed money order to someone else to mail. She said the other person must have added the offensive substance to the package without her knowledge.

SAN LUIS, California (AP) A whale suddenly breached and crashed into the bow of a fishing boat, killing a restaurant owner on board. Jerry Tibbs, 51, owner of Mr. Tibb's Ribs in Bakersfield, was aboard his boat The BBQ on Sunday when the whale hit and tossed him into the sea five miles (eight kilometers) off Port San Luis. Three other fishermen stayed aboard the damaged boat, which was towed to shore by the Coast Guard. Tibbs and his three friends were just ending a day fishing for albacore when the accident occurred. After more than 18 hours of searching, Tibbs' body was found Monday afternoon. Coast Guard officials said it was the first time they could recall an accident caused by a whale hitting a boat.

Broncho volleyball rebounded from their season opening losses to sweep through the Central Oklahoma hosted Sleep Inn Invitational Sept. 6 and 7, going 4-0 in the two-day event. UCO completed a 30---20, 30-22, 30-18 three-game sweep of Dallas Baptist on Saturday to emerge as the only undefeated team in the sixteam event and improve their record to 6-2 on the season. "We played a lot better than we did this morning against Drury," said UCO head coach Mark Herrin. "We were really hitting the ball well and kept a lot of pressure on them. It was a good weekend for us because everybody got to play quite a bit and we improved on some things from last week." Junior middle blocker, Tori Walker, led the women hitters getting 13 kills and hitting .435 while adding four assisted blocks and two service aces. Alma Brahimaj had a match-high 14 kills, hitting .406 and coming up with 15 digs. Lexy Fortner posted a .308 hitting percentage with 13 kills helping UCO to hit .328 as a team against DBU. UCO staged a come from behind win in the first game, then built a substantial lead early in the second game before Dallas Baptist rallied to tie it 19-19. The Bronchos took back the lead on a kill by Fortner and a service ace by Katy Wallace then pulled out of reach. Early in the third game, DBU stayed close until UCO dished out four straight points off of Stephanie Ball's serving to take over the game. Central Oklahoma faced the most competition from Drury winning the first game 30-25 but, stumbling a bit in the second game to lose 28-30. Yet they came back with back-to-back 30-18 and 30-20 wins to put down Drury once and for all. Highlighting this effort was

With Meek's past success and reputation as a superb setter, her teammates especially new record holder Brahimaj, probably wouldn't disagree. All in all, UCO volleyball wrapped up a tidy weekend package breaking school records and taking the Sleep Inn Invitational to look more like the returning champs of the LSC than ever before. The Bronchos will return to action on Tuesday, Sept. 10 facing St. Gregory's at Shawnee in a 7 p.m. match.

Broncho football stumbles out of the gate
to
by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com Turnovers and bad decisions cost Central Oklahoma on Thursday night as the Bronchos dropped a season-opening 24-16 decision to the No. 24-ranked Vikings before 6,500 Wantland Stadium fans. UCO lost two fumbles and had a key penalty on Tarik Abdullah at the Viking five that helped destroy scoring threats and turned the ball over on downs at the three en route to losing its fifth straight home game. The Bronchos offense was in good form totaling 257 yards total offense in the first half but had to settle for a 7-3 lead. Western Washington quarterback Josh Shimek then took over passing for 200 of his 325 yards in the second half as WWU outgained UCO 271-89, taking control of the entire game and barely holding on to finish. Quarterback Erick Johnson hit tight end Brandon Whiteley with a six-yard touchdown pass with 2:01 left to pull UCO within 24-16, but WWU blocked the extra point kick then recovered the ensuing onside kick to seal the win. "We had some many opportunities to win this game. We just didn't do all the things in the sec.
needed touchdown. "If I had it to do all over again, I would probably throw the ball. But we were trying to run the ball and just punch it in, it just didn't work," said Massey. The Bronchos stayed alive with another fumble recovery, with Evan Helvey forcing a fumble that Corey Collier recovered at the Viking 31 with 2:55 left to play. Johnson's TD pass to Whiteley with 2:01 remaining gave UCO hope of a late comeback try but the Vikings held on. "We just didn't seem to have it all there in the second half. The running game just could never really get going like we wanted it to. But I promise we will work on
things this week and will be ready to go next week," said Abdullah. Shimek finished 28-of-38 passing for his 325 yards, completing passes to eight different receivers. Johnson was 14-of-26 passing for 196 yards in his first-ever start, with Dee Dee Carter catching five for 72 yards and and Ingram four for 80. Jason Phenix led the ground game with 79 yards on 12 carries.Helvey led the defense with 11 tackles, with Tyler Meier contributing nine. The Bronchos start a twogame road-swing next week, going to Russellville, Ark. for a 6 p.m. contest against Arkansas Tech.

Dee Dee Carter pulled down five receptions for 72 yards in the opener Sept. 5. and half that we could have to win," said coach Gary Howard. I thought the defense played pretty well, they just got a little tired in the end. UCO had plenty of opportunities in the first half, but scored
Bronchos within 17-10, but the Vikings scored on their third straight possession of the second half early early in the fourth period to make it 24-10. UCO failed to take advantage of a couple of prime fourth-quarter scoring chances after WWU tried all they could to give the Bronchos a chance to steal the game. After a WWU fumble, Johnon threw a quick interception to ruin that opportunity. "Erik was probably trying to strike quick in that drive. We had that open throughout game, but on that one the safety came over and just picked it off, he should have read that and never threw the ball," said offensive coordinator Bill Massey. Another huge missed opportunity came after that with UCO running the ball on fourth down on the goal line, turning the ball over and not getting a much
only a one-yard run by back-up tailback Derrick Camacho. The Bronchos lost a fumble at the 15, punted twice and missed two field goals in addition to the lone touchdown. The Vikings took a 3-0 lead early in the second quarter on a Wantland Stadium-record 52yard field goal by Michael Koenen before Camacho capped a 10-play, 83-yard drive with his short TD run with 6:03 left in the half. Ingram caught a 42-yard pass to start the drive, with Tarik Abdullah picking up 21 yards on a third-and-nine play. WWU, took over in the third quarter, with Shimek hitting scoring passes of four and 13 yards to give the Vikings a 17-7 lead. A.J. Haglund hit a 50-yard field goal with 1:23 left in the third quarter to draw the
