State budget cuts hit campus again

by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline.com The budget shortfall that resulted in the State Regents for Higher Education cutting $36 million in funds for state colleges will force UCO to trim $1.9 million from its budget, said Harve Allen, regents' director of media relations.

UCO spokesman Charles Johnson said the university has no immediate plans to lay off faculty or staff and is determined to minimize the impact the shortfall will have on students.

"It's too soon to make any final decision," Johnson said.

"No decisions have been made on possible class changes in the spring."

Allen said class changes at some state universities and colleges will likely be forthcoming.

Some classes might be cancelled.

The number of students in others could be increased. Some programs might be eliminated.

Johnson said UCO had set aside in its budget $1.1 million, money the university will use to help offset the shortfall. Precisely how UCO will reach the total $1.9 million in cuts had not been determined, he said.

Allen said more cuts could be coming this fall.

Shawn Ashley, public information officer for the Office of State Finance, said a drop in revenue collections in July and August resulted in the $36 million cut from the regents' $851 million budget.

State tax collections in July and August were down, Ashley

said. Compared to last year during that period, individual income tax revenue was down $32.5 million, he said. Sales tax collections were down $16.4 million and the gross production tax on natural gas had a deficit of $5.8 million.

One category, motor vehicle collections, was slightly ahead compared to last year, Ashley said.

The drop off in revenue collections is partly due to the "softness" in the economy, Ashley said. To rectify the situation, the State Legislature could take emergency action, such as dipping into the state's "rainy day fund."

There is $35 million left in the state fund, Ashley said.

Cuts will be made at all 25 state colleges and universities.

The University of Oklahoma at Norman must trim $5.5 million from its budget, Allen said. OU's Health Science Center will lose $3.6 million. Oklahoma State University's Stillwater campus must cut $5 million.

During the first half of the coming fiscal year, there will most likely be more cuts, Allen said.

During the latter half, the state may realize a slight improvement.

"You don't know for sure what will happen," Allen said.

"But there could be more cuts in the future."

Various university officials have said they are worried about being forced to make layoffs, Allen said. Other states in the Big 12 region, the athletic conference that contains OU and OSU, are facing double digit cuts, he said.

Jordan issued an executive

by Mark Schlachtenhaufen order announcing the appointms@thevistaonline. corn UCOSA President J.P. Jordan said the Senate should take action soon on the vice presidential appointee he announced Sept. 9.

"I think the Senate is taking longer than it should," Jordan said.

"It's not one of those deals where it's myself against anyone.'"

We all have the same goals and we want to see them accomplished. I have full faith in the President Pro Temp of the Senate, Kate Thrift. I think she's doing a great job. I don't want to control the Senate. It's not my entity."

Thrift said she would like to have the issue resolved no later than Oct. 7. This year the Senate judiciary committee is conducting a thorough search process in order to avoid repeating past situations, Thrift said.

"We're just trying to get it right the first time," Thrift said.

"We want to make sure the person is the most qualified for the job."

ment of Chad L. Dimmick as UCOSA vice president on Sept.

9. In recent years, the Senate wasted no time in voting on vice presidential appointments, Jordan said.

The UCOSA vice president serves as chair on the student appropriations board, Jordan said. The board cannot conduct business without a chairperson.

Without a vice president in place, a student organization could not make an emergency request for funding, Jordan said.

For now, other UCOSA members are doing work that would normally be done by the vice president, Jordan said.

Thrift said the judiciary committee will interview Dimmick after the next Senate meeting at 1 p.m. Sept. 23 in the Nigh University Center. She said the interview session with Dimmick will be open to the public.

Then the judiciary committee will meet to determine what action to take, Thrift said. If members have more questions, the judiciary committee could

Chad Dimmick schedule another meeting with Dimmick. That rarely happens, Thrift said.

Part of the delay with the interview process is due to procedural rules, Thrift said. Under Senate rules, agendas must be posted in public 48-hours before a meeting.

"This year is going to be an excellent year for UCOSA, Thrift said.

"We're trying to improve our lines of communication."

Thrift said UCOSA will have "open door" communications between the executive branch and the legislative branch.

Henry upsets Orza in democratic run-off

by Michael Larson ml@thevistaonline.com Democrats chose Brad Henry to challenge Republican candidate Steve Largent and Independent Gary Richardson for the governership in the Nov. 5 general election in the Sept. 17 run-off election.

Henry edged out Orza by only 12,481 votes from

2,235 precincts statewide.

Henry's victory over Democrat opponent Vince Orza ran contrary to Aug, 19 primary results, in which Orza took 44 percent of the vote and Henry took only 28 percent.

After Henry's victory, he said to Barry Switzer, former coach of the University of Oklahoma (OU) football team,

"Coach, I think we just whipped Nebraska," referring to a team which has historically been one of OU's toughest rivals.

Henry is a current state senator for Oklahoma, and is campaigning on education reform, cheaper prescriptions for seniors, and the establishment of a lottery to increase state dollars.

ampus Quotes In your opinion, what should UCO do to help curb the budget problems?

Cartoon by Chris Maupin

Here we go again.

The "soft" economy has reduced the state's revenue so it's time for budget cuts all around - just in time for the official start of fall. As the leaves fall from the trees, so does our budget, again.

According to Harve Allen of the State Regents for Higher Education, UCO will need to cut $1.9 million from the budget.

The good thing is that UCO has apparently set aside $1.1 million of "rainy day" funds, which will help with the situation.

Now the question is, how are we going to come up with the other $800,000?

Here are a few ideas in case the administrators haven't thought of them.

Many students seem to receive duplicate letters regarding their financial aids because some automated machine in the financial office likes to spout out the list of same names more than once, while all that information is readily available online.

Bulk mail postal cost might be at a discount, but it doesn't mean we can't save some money on that, right?

What about inviting the community members to a big auction on campus to bid on President Webb and other administrators' beautiful desks among other fancy furniture?

Put those golf carts and campus vehicles we see around campus in the auction while we are at it. We're sure many Edmonites would like a new toy for their 15-year-olds before purchasing them a new Mustang. We all learned to drive somehow, right?

We can save money on gas, keep people on campus safe from traffic accidents, and the staff members can get some exercise by walking everywhere instead. This could benefit their health, and reduce insurance costs for university employees. With all those endorphins pumping, we may have a happier staff, not that you guys aren't dolls.

Last but not least, we can start our own "UCO Fair" and entice some people here to spend some money on student art creations, cheap jewelry, endless games of toss-the-ring and maybe some home-made cookies.

This budget cut might even turn out to be fun for everyone.

Other's Views The Guardian, London, on President Bush and Iraq: It is not necessary to be a rocket scientist to understand that George Bush and Tony Blair are in trouble over Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. The problem is not military, not yet at least; it is political. Every time the two men pronounce that Saddam Hussein poses an urgent threat, they are asked for their proof. And every time, as again at the weekend at Camp David, they fall back on assertions and claims, suspicions and half-baked halftruths. The International Atomic Energy Authority, for example, has not issued a "new report" (Mr. Bush's words) on revived Iraqi efforts to acquire a nuclear bomb. It has merely published some commercial satellite photos of new construction at WMD-linked sites that were dismantled during previous U.N. inspec-

tions. "We have no idea whether it means anything," says an IAEA spokeswoman. The worrying thought is that neither, in all probability, does Mr. Bush. ...

And yesterday's report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, like similar independent and official compendiums before it, is not much help. That Iraq retains elements, possibly deployable, of its pre1991 biological and chemical weapons stockpile is not in dispute. That it has a few, not very impressive short-range missiles is generally agreed. But that it is any closer to joining the nuclear club than it was in 1998, when the U.N. pulled out, is unsupported by a shred of new evidence. Indeed, the IISS study suggests Saddam may be further away from this goal than he was before the Gulf war began.

There are many "ifs,"

of course, particularly the fear that if Iraq obtains fissile material from abroad, it has the expertise to fast-forward thwarted nuclear ambitions. The way to prevent such scenarios is a big push, parallel with resumed U.N. inspections in Iraq, to promulgate and enforce the moribund fissile material cut-off treaty, the comprehensive test ban treaty, and the biological and chemical weapons conventions, all of which anti-WMD pacts Mr. Bush has at times ignored, scorned or undermined. Greater urgency should also be afforded last June's G8 anti-proliferation plan and international cooperative threat reduction programmes on the NunnLugar model. This is the best, multilateral way to halt WMD proliferation, not just in Iraq but across the globe. This, not Iraq alone, is the real threat and the real challenge.

â– Edmond police

Dr. Kurt Hochenauer, English professor, has implemented the first online English Composition 1213 course at UCO this semester.

Hochenauer spent several weeks last spring and summer working 20 to 30 hours a week creating the course with his own software on his home computer.

He received a Title III grant this semester to improve the course, which has 21 students.

"The University has been pushing distance learning for several years and today's technology has made it more feasible," said Hochenauer.

"I think that students are coming to college without adequate computer skills and this course helps them to develop those skills."

Hochenauer said, students are required to build a webpage individually and a website in teams of four, in addition to the standard English composition assignments.

The required research paper is submitted through a system that checks it for plagiarism.

The course website contains more than 125 separate pages, most of which contain images and links. The site also includes online writing material and practice quizzes.

"I also tried to add some fun stuff to the class, so there are games and links to lighter material on the web," said Hochenauer.

Students are required to post responses to class material on a

release information on suspects wanted for a Sept. 7 rape.

The Edmond Police Department has released composite sketches of two suspects wanted in connection with an alleged rape that occurred near the UCO campus on Sept. 7.

According to police, the alleged rape occurred at about 11:30 p.m. Sept. 7 in the 900 block of East Wayne. The suspects told the victim they were ages 18 and 21, police said.

Police said suspect #1, who possibly goes by the name "Derek," was described as a

hair, that appeared to be a fade type cut.

Suspect #2 was described as a black male, 5'7" to 5'8", 175180 pounds with shorts cud), hair, a muscular build, a mustache and a goatee, police said.

Any person with information regarding the whereabouts of these two suspects should call Detective David Orwell at 3594440. Call Edmond Crime Stoppers at 359-4466 after 5 p.m. Callers may remain anonymous.

Rewards of up to $1,000 a piece are being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of these suspects.

One of the site's main pages, titled" "Quick Page," is updated on a weekly basis so students have to stay connected on a week-to-week basis. They can also refer to the page to get tips on how to use the discussion board.

Heather Hall, psychology sophomore, said the online course makes learning interesting.

"I work full time during the day and I am a single mom. By taking English composition online, I have saved money by not having to pay for a babysitter while I am in class."

Hall said the Internet course is convenient for anyone with a hectic schedule.

Joi Martin, photography freshman, said, "I am definitely going to take advantage of as many online courses as possible."

"I can't think of a better way to turn in homework than while sitting at home drinking, beer."

Hochenauer is available to the students through virtual office hours in which they can chat with him online.

"What makes this a great course are the wonderful students who are taking it," said Hochenauer.

"I believe I have the coolest group of students at UCO this semester. I hope that they are all going to be famous one day.

Then they can send me money so I can replace the outdated computer equipment and software that the university now provides me."

"All counties are equipped with a Peace Corps office that has a trained staff who monitor the volunteers."

Sarah Powers, biology senior, plans on applying for the Peace Corps after graduation.

"I think that you run just as much of a risk serving in the Peace Corps as you do walking across campus," she said.

"Accidents can happen anywhere and you shouldn't let that stop you from making a difference in the lives of others."

Beeson said people who live in countries where Peace Corps volunteers have served no longer hate Americans.

"A volunteer serving in Singapore was held hostage for a week and she said the only thing she was worried about while being held captive was being caught in a crossfire," said Beeson.

"Her captors never harmed her because she was a member of the Peace Corps."

Garcia said, "Locals appreciate volunteers who choose to live among them, not behind some embassy wall.

They respect that volunteers are willing to live a modest life to help devel-

op their communities."

Glenn Freeman, UCO International Student Advisor who applied for the Peace Corps, said, "The Peace Corps is very much still a worthwhile administration and it is aware of the precautions that need to be taken in order to protect its volunteers."

Freeman said he would feel completely safe joining the Peace Corps under today's conditions.

About 97 percent of all Peace Corps volunteers have a bachelor's degree, but it is not required.

Volunteers are placed in countries where their skills are most needed.

Peace Corps assignments last two years in addition to 12 weeks spent in training. Volunteers are trained in the country where they will be serving by Peace Corps staff. Volunteers are taught everything from personal safety to an emergency evacuation plan.

Beeson said, "I am sixty-eight years old and my time spent serving in the Peace Corps was the most rewarding thing that I have ever done in my entire life."

by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline.com Editor's Note: This is the seventh part of an 11-part series intended to help students with the career search process. The Vista is highlighting the 10 fastest growing jobs in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. In order to avoid providing redundant information, some similar occupations are combined.

Fifth on The Vista's Top Ten list of fastest growing jobs in the United States are fitness trainers and aerobics instructors.

Fitness trainers and aerobics instructors work in fitness facilities, health clubs and fitness centers. Brian Attebery, a certified personal fitness trainer, is an independent contractor at Gold's Gym in Edmond. Occasionally, he is a guest lecturer at UCO and coaches UCO interns.

Fitness trainers receive certification from the American College of Sports Medicine, Attebery said.

Attebery graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor of science degree in health and sports medicine.

Initially, he was pursuing a degree in physical therapy. He said he found personal fitness more appealing.

"I love working with people„"

Attebery said.

"Helping people better themselves has been very rewarding for myself. I know how I felt about changing my physique, how it helped improve my health and my self-esteem. I've helped numerous 'Nipple get off blood pressure medication due to changes in their lifestyle."

Jamie Hooyman, UCO degree coordinator for exercise-fitness management and recreation management, said more people are discovering there is a greater need for fitness trainers and aerobics instructors.

"They are demanding people with knowledge in the area to help them," said Hooyman. She said she is an exercise physiologist, someone knowledgeable about the body, how it works and the best methods for improving it.

"People want to live healthier, longer lives and to live healthier during [latter] years we have to take better care of ourselves now."

Heightened media attention has raised public awareness about the importance of healthy living, Hooyman said. Attebery said more people are realizing the links between inactivity and cardiovascular disease, smoking and obesity.

According to the American Obesity Association, 61 percent

of adults are overweight or obese.

About one-third of all children are overweight.

Attebery is developing an after-school program for children. He said children age eight and up will be able to participate in conditioning geared toward boosting their agility. Children age 11 and up will do weight training and running.

Someone is overweight if they are 20 pounds above their ideal body weight, Attebery said. Ideal body weight is calculated by several factors including height and body type. Obesity is being 10 percent over ideal body fat percentage.

The introduction of more fatty foods has directly contributed to the increases, Attebery said. Part of the rise is due to the proliferation of cornputers, which are taking up time that could be spent on exercise, he said.

Attebery said fitness trainers must be able to communicate with their clients and educate them.

"People can't take training verbatim," Attebery said.

"It's continuously changing."

Attebery's clients range from individuals wanting to lose weight to beauty pageant contestants in Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Wisconsin.

He coached last year's Miss Teen USA and this year's Miss USA runner-up. Attebery gets most of his clients through referrals.

Attebery said he first teaches clients new diet habits he learned through his own experiences.

Losing weight gives individuals a sense of control, Attebery said. This requires setting realistic goals, discipline and forming new habits, he said. Attebery has maintained some business relationships for five years. On aver-

"I teach them concepts which will help them when they are on their own," Attebery said.

The government recently suggested that Americans exercise for one hour each day. Attebery said a more achievable, still beneficial number would be 30 minutes.

Physiologically and schedule wise, mornings are the best workout times, he said.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 427,000 recreation and fitness workers in 2000. About 26,000 of these workers, mainly fitness trainers, were self-employed.

Education requirements vary.

More employers are requiring fitness workers to have a bachelor's degree.

According to the BLS, salaries range from about $8 an hour to $25 an hour.

Campus Conversations unite native English speakers and international students

by Stephanie Nease sn@thevistaonline.com Most Americans struggle with foreign language in middle school or high school. They learn phrases like Como esta? and Sil volts plait. But send them to Spain or France, and their textbook phrases may bring responses that swish over their heads faster than the jet they arrived on.

In 1999, Dr. Susan Scott, UCO associate professor of professional teacher education, saw that deer-in-the-headlights look on a Taiwanese student's face in class.

The student was floundering. A brief conversation uncovered the problem: the girl had no English-speaking friends to help her practice speaking and understanding the language.

Attacking the problem, Scott aimed to accelerate international students' English proficiency. She wrote and won a grant proposing a service for international students and a learning experience for UCO education majors.

With Director Leigh Smith, of UCO Academic Support Center, provider of remedial studies, Scott scheduled frequent informal meetings between native English-speaking students, and international students needing help in English.

Smith said writing is the only class most international students require from Academic Support Center, but 60 percent of remedial writing students are international.

Learning to speak and understand a new language requires practice, but most students stay in their comfort zone, with others who speak their language. The part she played in developing the project was her chance to help, Smith said.

That oversimplifies the birth of Campus Conversations, a service learning project Scott, Dr. Jennifer Endicott and Mr. David Snellgrove use in their Foundations of American Education classes.

They assign students meetings with international students to talk about anything. Participants come away from the experience with something new. A word learned or practiced. A culture explored.

Departure from their comfort zone, if only for an hour.

Jalal Daneshfar, International Students' coordinator of immigration and activities, said students in a new culture, with a new language, experience a lot of anxiety.

"In the first year, it's crucial that they take the right step — get out of their comfort zone and make friends outside their native-language group," he said Chris and Ashley Squire, education majors recently married, conducted Campus Conversations' noon gathering Sept. 16. Scott believes her students will encounter a non-native child in an Oklahoma classroom.

Danielle Batson, junior elementary education major, leads Campus Conversations in Thatcher Hall first floor lounge.

She said that Monday, the Squires faced Japanese and Taiwanese students so hungry for verbal interaction that some haven't missed a meeting.

Taiwanese graduate education student, Chiying Hsieh, said she loves jazz and window shopping, but the mention of her philosophy class made her wince.

Batson described helping two international students from different countries, trying to communicate in broken English, figure out how to change the font on a computer. One was an inexperienced computer lab assistant.

"I gained a better understanding of what international students face daily," she said. Her experience with Campus Conversations reminds her to take a minute out of her busy day to respond

to someone else's needs, she said.

Daneshfar said, "A lot of our international students crave a support system.

Friendship helps them to feel like they belong. A kind gesture on behalf of those of us who live here would be wonderful."

For American students who want to help, and for anxious international students, Scott said, "Find someone in your class and invite them to a session. That's the way to make friends."

Accused priest sues alleged victim for slander

By Clayton Bellamy TULSA, Okla. (AP) _ A group advocating for victims of sexual abuse by priests criticized Tulsa Bish. p Edward Slattery on Monday for allowing an accused diocese priest to sue his alleged victim for slander.

David Clohessy also accused Slattery of violating the Roman Catholic Church's new sexual abuse charter, which he said directs bishops to treat victims kindly, by allowing the Rev. Paul Eichhoff's lawsuit to continue.

"Priests who are accused of abuse can defend themselves without attacking their accuser," said David Clohessy, national director of Survivors Network of Those Abused by

Priests. "When they do, there can only be one result. That is intimidation of the victim and the victims and witnesses in other abuse."

Edward Maillet, spokesman for Slattery, said the bishop did not give Eichhoff_ a Claremore priest accused of abusing a young boy 25 years ago _ permission to file a lawsuit and

shouldn't have to.

"It's his (Eichhoff's) right to defend himself in the courts if he feels he's been slandered," Maillet said. "Should a principal deny that right to a teacher at his school? Why just priests?"

In a letter July 30 to Slattery, a man wrote that he " two encounters of extremely high stress events at the hands of Father Paul Eichhoff at St.

Mary's Grade School in the late 1970s."

The man said the encounters, which he was threatened not to reveal, robbed him of having a productive life experience, including jobs, a family and money. He said he didn't want to hurt the church but needed professional treatment.

The Diocese of Tulsa, which Slattery leads, placed Eichhoff on administrative leave Aug. 1.

The priest, who has denied the charges, then sued the man and his father for slander.

The Tulsa Police Department formed a task force in July to investigate allegations of sexual abuse against two unnamed Tulsa priests. The results have been turned over the Tulsa County District

Attorney's office, which is considering filing charges.

Father Kenneth Lewis has been accused by six young men that he made unwanted sexual advances toward them while he was associate pastor at St. Mary in Tulsa in the early 1990s.

Lewis has denied the charges and has resigned from the priesthood.

A 16-year-old Pryor girl has said a former priest there repeatedly kissed and fondled her three years ago. The diocese says the priest, the Rev. John Jangam, has been excommunicated and has returned to his native India.

During "Knock Out Diabetes Week," Pam Lovelady, the mother of a diabetic, will speak at 8:30 p.m.

Sept. 23, in the Pegasus Theater.

According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes is a disease that occurs when the body does not produce or properly use insulin. The body needs insulin to convert sugars and other food into energy.

Walker said, "If people think they are experiencing symptoms, go to a doctor and get checked out.

"It's very important to catch it early to avoid severe problems in the future,"she said.

A new film by Oklahoma City radio personality Rick Walker will be shown at noon Sept. 21 on Channel 9. A 30minute making-of show will precede it from11:30 p.m.

Walker, of the Rick and Brad Morning Show on 100.5 KATT raised nearly $500,000‘a.nd shot the feature length film, "Sam and Janet," over the course of a year.

"It's soft and dialogue-driven - kind of a chick-flick. I wanted it to feel like a romance movie," said Walker, who based the film partially on his some of his past relationships.

The film boasts a cast, including Gary Busey, who either live in Oklahoma or have in the past, Walker said. Set in Oklahoma City, "Sam and Janees was shot at locations such as the Bricktown Brewery, Lake Hefner, a University of Oklahoma (OU) football game, and various schools and office buildings from around the city.

Walker's script for the film evolved over seven months and went through 16 drafts. He said he wanted to film throughout the year in order to capture how Oklahoma looks in its different seasons.

Jennifer Ferguson played Janet in the movie and said though it's a romantic comedy her male friends who have seen it have liked it.

Ryan Brown and Jennifer Ferguson star in Sam and Janet.

Ferguson described her character as a sweet, fun-loving girl willinc, to chase her dreams, whether they lie in her career or in her love life.

The hardest part about playing the female lead in a romantic drama?

"Janet has five or six crying scenes. It took me a while, but by the last one, I knew exactly how to cry and what it was that would get me there."

Ferguson met Walker through an audition from one of his earlier movies, back when she was a student at OU. "He's a whole lot of fun,

always cracking jokes, but he knows when to be serious. He really knows how to break the tension of a film set."

Walker made two short films prior to "Sam and Janet", and has written three screenplays, one of which he's currently pushing on investors.

Walker said, "It's difficult to find investors when you are a first-time director. It's important to get that first feature under your belt and have it shown somewhere."

"Sam and Janet" was screened and won "Best Feature" at the deadCenter

Film Festival, which took place at UCO last summer.

"I think Rick's done a lot for the [Oklahoma film] scene," said Justan Floyd, founder of the film festival.

Oklahoma is still a harsh financial environment for the nation-wide trend toward independent film, he said.

"It was a pretty good first attempt at a feature length movie, and it has a very nice twist at the end."

"Sam and Janet" will also be aired on Channel 6 in Tulsa Sept. 21 at 12 p.m.

onset diabetes. Some risk factors for Type II are obesity, family history of diabetes, unbalanced diet and physical inactivity, LaBetta Wallenmeyer, director of the Student Health Center said.

Michael Vaughn, a graduate student pursuing a master's of education with an art emphasis degree, was recently diagnosed with Type II diabetes.

Vaughn said he was working two jobs and going to school when he started experiencing some of the warning signs of diabetes, weight loss and increased urination and thirst.

He originally thought the symptoms were a result of the hot working conditions at his job, he said.

"I went to the hospital and they told me I was diabetic."

When he was first diagnosed he said he had to give himself five shots a day to regulate his insulin, but has recently switched to one shot and two pills a day.

Type II diabetes doesn't effect adults only. Wallenmeyer said that increasingly children are developing Type II diabetes, often due to obesity.

A rail spur already in place will help draw new manufacturing companies to the site. More than a dozen companies have signed "memos of understanding," documents used to gather support from shareholders and investors, Edwards said.

To attract new companies to the area, the state has created many tax and financial incentives.

"In addition to the benefit of a space vehicle industry being located in western Oklahoma, it would also bring numerous other support industries to the area," Lucas said.

'And along with this technology will come those scientists and researchers to the area who have expertise in this field of study."

Accelerated, more visible progress would then be made at the spaceport, Edwards said. He tangible results will not be immediate.

"To develop a new industry like this and to develop a commercial spaceport takes time and patience."

A seven-member board oversees the OSIDA. Edwards, the executive director, commanded the Air Logistics Center at Tinker Air Force Base. A graduate of West Point, he was a highly decorated pilot during the Vietnam War. Board member Tom Stafford, a retired lieutenant general, was a NASA astronaut who orbited the moon during the Apollo 10 mission. The Weatherford native also flew on Gemini 6 and Gemini 9.

In 1975, Stafford and his Apollo crewmates linked up with a Russian Soyuz craft.

Dr. Donna Shirley, a Mars Pathfinder contributor, chairs the education and policy committee.

Chairman is Robert Triplett. Vice Chairman is Ken McGill. Don Rodolph chairs the budget and personnel committee. Joe King is board treasurer. The remaining board member is Louis Sims.

While "NSYNC" member Lance Bass's recent attempt to follow Dennis Tito into space was unsuccessful, he might soon be able to spend his money here in Oklahoma.

Only a few states are developing commercial spaceports. Oklahoma is one of them.

A spaceport in western Oklahoma near Burns Flat would bring the state new jobs and prestige, said retired Air Force Gen. Jay Edwards, executive director of the Oklahoma Space Industry Development Authority (OSIDA).

"The next business frontier is the commercialization of space," Edwards said.

"The technology is already on hand for a reusable sub-orbital launch vehicle. In five years time, we'll see them flying here in the United States and in Oklahoma."

Sports 101: The game of soccer Defensive leader Landon Dean

Dara Lawless Sports Editor Coming from a very small Class A school that played three sports, baseball, basketball and softball, it was quite an endeavor to become quickly knowledgable about all the college's sports when I began writing for The Vista.

Remembering my lack of confidence knowing when to cheer at a wrestling dual, much less write about it, I take it upon myself to give the average Joe or Jane sports spectator a heads up on a little sports terminology or slang.

So if you want to head out to the soccer field some weekend and cheer on our No. 16 NSCAA Division II ranked team but fear to stand on the sidelines clueless, grab your sunscreen and fear no more.

Below I have compiled some basic terms of the game and miscellaneous facts with a few notes to aid anyone not familiar with soccer.

So if you want to watch a game, know what you're reading in the sports section or just want to impress someone by knowing your stuff, enjoy.

Football or soccer? The game originated in Europe where it was predominately called football.

When the game reached America, it became known as soccer to make a distinction between the pigskin type football we played here.

The term soccer has become more widely accepted even in Europe, but is sometimes still called football.

Europeans call the pointy type of football American football to make a distinction.

The positions in soccer have many varied names but the following is a list of positions and their descriptions as UCO soc-

cer uses.

Goalkeeper: The last line of defense. The job is to prevent to opponent's ball from entering the goal and scoring. This player is the only one allowed to use their hands and then only within the penalty area.

Dana's note: I once mistakenly called the goalkeeper a "goalie" at a game last season and was quickly corrected that she was a goalkeeper.

Though the term goalie is used to describe this position, goalkeeper, keeper, or goalkeep is preferrable to make a distinction between the soccer position and the goalie in hockey.

Forward (Strikers): Players who function primarily in the attacking third of the field and whose main responsibility it to score goals.

Fullback (Defenders, Stoppers, Or Sweepers): Players forming a line of defense immediately in front of the goalkeeper. Their main job is to repel attacks on goal and regain possession of the ball.

Midfielder (Halfbacks): Players who function primarily in the central pat of the field and whose main responsibility is to link the defense and the attack, controlling the flow in the middle of the field.

Now that you know the positions here are a few terms in soccer that might help you out.

Hat-trick - three goals scored by one player in one game.

More correctly there is the added requirement of making three consecutive goals, uninterrupted by goals from either side.

Assist - the pass or passes made before a goal. Only the last pass or the last two passes can qualify as an assist to go in the records.

Breakaway - when an attacker with the ball breaks away from defenders and approaches the goal for an exciting one-onone showdown with the goalkeeper.

Charge - to run into an opponent, mainly with shoulder-to-shoulder contact; legal if done from the front or side of the ball carrier; illegal against a player without the ball or from behind.

Header - the striking of a ball in the air by a player's head.

Tackling - the act of taking the ball away from a player by kicking or stopping it with one's feet; it is permitted to knock the ball carrier off balance. A method of gaining possession of the ball by use of the feet.

Unnecessary roughness and use of the hands are not permitted.

Shoot/Shooting - Take a shot on the goal.

Save - A successful effort by the goalkeeper to prevent a possible score by stopping or deflecting a ball aimed at the goal.

Referee - The official in complete charge of a soccer match.

Linesmen - The two officials who assist the referee.

Caution (Yellow Card) - disciplinary action taken by the referee, signaled with a yellow card and officially recorded against a player guilty of misconduct Ejection (Red Card) - sending a player off the field.

Signaled with a red card against a player guilty of a personal foul or handballing.

Handballing - A major violation, the intentional use of the hands other than by a goalkeeper.

With an interception in each of the first two games of the season, opponents are now having to be careful when throwing the ball his way.

Dean also likes to hit the opposing team, against Arkansas Tech he racked up 10 tackles to go with his pass pickoff.

This senior letterman is counted on to be the defensive secondary leader, and so far this season he seems to be leading by example.

Dean currently leads UCO

in interceptions and ranks second in the Lone Star Conference interceptions catergory with two for 22 yards.

He also is ranked 13th on the LSC tackle list for wrapping up 18, three solo and assisting in 15, so far this season.

Last season Dean was tied for fifth on the team in tackles with 51 stops, including one tackle for loss.

His best games came against Southwestern Oklahoma and Texas A&M Kingsville, getting 11 tackles in both contests.

-

Dean sharpened his athletic talents at Claremore high school, as a three-sport star.

As a senior, he earned AllDistrict football honors, for his 87-tackle season. He also lettered three years in each basketball and wrestling.

After graduation, Dean took his talents to Haskell Junior College, posing as the defensive captain both years.

He earned second-team allconference honors his second season, before transferring to UCO to wear the bronze and blue.

In the Bronchos last game against Arkansas Tech, the defense allowed only 213 yards total offense, the best defensive performance since 1999.

Landon Dean was the defensive star against ATU and Bronchos football fans shouldn't be surprised if he continues to help the Central Oklhoma defense have more great efforts like that again.

April Millaway, UCO McNair Scholars program coordinator, said the government allots a grant for 20 students to participate in the program.

The government requires 50 percent of students involved in McNair to pursue a master's degree and 5 percent must further continue and obtain a doctorate.

"UCO has meet these requirements above and beyond," Millaway

said.

Sixty percent of UCO's McNair Scholars are pursuing a master's degree and 3 of the 20 have plans to obtain a doctorate. Fifty percent have a 3.0 GPA or higher.

The program also allots the recipients tuition stipends in the amount of $400 for the fall and spring semesters, Millaway said.

The summer session provides the students with a $2,800 stipend.

Students are also required to spend 40-hours a week on their research projects.

Brian Head, senior Sociology major, said "learning how to do research at the graduate level" has been one of the most important

aspects of his time as a McNair Scholar.

Millaway said there are five openings this fall that still need to be filled. Nine more will open in the spring.

"We desire to develop our students intellectually, culturally and personally," Millaway said.
