Students voice concerns about budget outlook

by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline.corn Given the gloomy forecast for revenue collections in Oklahoma, the State Legislature should intervene and bolster funding for state universities and colleges, said J.P. Jordan, UCOSA president. " think it's going to take the Legislature to realize that [UCO] is a great university and what is being done here is that lives are

being changed, futures shaped and that productive members of society are being made," Jordan said.

The State Regents for Higher Education have told UCO to cut $1.9 million from its budget. Additional cuts in the regents' budget will likely be forthcoming, meaning in the coming months, UCO and ocher universities and colleges will face more cuts, officials have said.

Oklahoma's three largest universities

have been funded inequitably, Jordan said.

The most recent cut only makes matters worse, he said.

"Personally, I think it's ridiculous because we are the third largest four-year university in the state and last I checked were the second-poorest funded per student," Jordan said.

"We're not being singled out, we're being overlooked."

All 25 state universities and colleges will

be adversely affected. The University of Oklahoma's Norman campus must cut $5.5 million and the OU Health Science's Center, $3.6 million. Oklahoma State University's Stillwater campus must trim $5 million from its budget.

UCO officials have said there are no immediate plans to lay off faculty or staff and it's too soon to determine what will

UCO Envoys merges with World Within

Old traditions, new topics

Students to debate current issues

by Kristen Armstrong ka@thevistaonline.com On Oct. 8, four UCO freshman debaters will participate in the first of a public debate series co-sponsored by the UCO Debate Team, the Communication Department and the Political Science Department.

Hanan Shahid, Drew Lawson, Justin Schuffert, and Lindsey Shook will debate the pros and cons of America's potential conflict with Iraq, said Jason Stone, UCO director of debate.

"This debate is important because the issue has consequences that we as a generation have not had to deal with," said Schuffert, communication education freshman.

Stone said the public debate forum will allow students the chance to discuss current events. "t's a timely debate because the issue will impact college students more than they realize.

It is something they should be aware of and gather more information about to form an educated opinion," he said.

Stone said the arguments are fresh because the issue is fluid.

"There is a possibility for serious miscalculation in our foreign policy, and it is something that the American public needs to be aware of," Stone said.

Lindsey Shook, psychology freshman said, "t is important for people to be educated on this topic."

"People need information to make an informed opinion. The consequences are more serious than how they are played out on the nightly news," she said.

Stone said the second debate will take place Nov. 18 and will deal with the encroachment on civil liberties by the Homeland Security Act. The third debate will be in April during the Liberal Arts Symposium. It will cover multilateral versus unilateral foreign policy, said Stone.

Stone said this series is important to the university because of its long history of open and academic debate at UCO. "Public debate is one of the oldest traditions at UCO. The first private debating society was founded in 1898," Stone said.

"The parking lot, to class, to parking lot phenomenon we have at UCO detracts from the academic culture," he said.

Those who attend the hour-long debate will have the opportunity to ask questions or give feedback on the issues at hand, Stone said.

"We hope this will foster more debate and discussion about current events everywhere on campus."

ml@thevistaonline,com High school students flooded Hamilton Field House Sept. 20 for Oklahoma City's Gear Up program. As part of a $14.5 million federal grant, Gear Up drew in 1,400 I 1 th and 12th graders and encouraged them to plan ahead for higher education.

Educators and athletes presented to students, and afterward representatives of each of UCO's colleges were on hand to talk with curious students. Students could walk around different colleges

displayed the kind of jobs graduates from their departments have access.

Kelvin Sampson, University of Oklahoma men's basketball coach, delivered a speech about a student he recruited from Mexico whose dream was to go to college and play for the NBA. In the story, Sampson illustrated the value of persistence by describing Eduardo Najera, and his overcoming of the language gap.

Eduardo took the ACT in English nine times before finally passing and being accepted into OU.

The student-run UCO Envoys group is now part of UCO World Within, and the first meeting is 6 p.m. today in the Heritage Room on the third floor of Nigh University Center.

Jarrett Jobe, Campus Life's director of Greek life, said the World Within program is his responsibility now, and he plans to work closely with the International Students' office.

Dr. Bill Wiseman, director of University Relations and originator of the idea behind UCO's World Within program, said he is happy with the decision to transfer the program to Campus Life. " came up with the idea, but hundreds and hundreds of people worked on it. It's taken on a life of its own. I'm very pleased to see it take the direction it's going," he said.

Wiseman developed the concept after Sept. 11, 2001 as a way to mend the United States' relations with the rest of the world by developing personal friendships between Americans and international students at UCO and in the Edmond community. "t started in response to a tragedy, and now it's moving on to take advantage of this wonderful resource of international perspective," he said.

The "nternational perspective" Wiseman referred to is UCO's international student population. At UCO, 13 per-

"More people have failed their way into success than fallen their way into success," Sampson said to the audience of high school students, but it is how you handle that favor that determines whether or not you will succeed.

cent of students enrolled are from other nations, more than any other university in Oklahoma.

Derek England, junior finance major and Envoy volunteer, said UCO Envoys sponsored activities like scavenger hunts, volleyball games, soccer games, and a trip to a hockey game, to encourage interaction between the various cultures.

England, along with his girlfriend, Robin Hoffman, junior nursing major, also volunteered for World Within.

"The initial World Within program was incredible," England said.

"All the participants came in and we got divided into 'family groups.' We ate and the Governor spoke, and the nations flags were marched around," he said.

Volunteers from the Edmond community "adopted" UCO students from various lands and fed them in their homes, he said.

Hoffman said the merger is a good idea, as it brings all the efforts together, making the program stronger.

"We definitely will be in the volunteer group," England said, nodding toward his girlfriend. " hope that as many people as possible participate in the activities," he said.

Jobe said the Sept. 24 meeting is open to all UCO students, staff, and faculty. For more information, call 974-2580.

Career Services will be hosting its fall career fair from 9 a.m.- 1 p.m. Oct. 2, in the Nigh University Center Ballroom on the third floor.

Art Tyndall, director of career services, said he expects over 50 companies to participate in the fair.

"The career fair is a great opportunity for employers to reach out to students. Not only with current jobs, but also to help identify future careers within the organization," Tyndall said.

This year's participants include companies such as Disney, American Express, Oklahoma Department of Corrections, Sprint PCS, Edward Jones, Integris Health and more.

Jackie Durant, recruitment coordinator, said the partici-

pants represent a good, quality selection and are leaders in their field.

"The companies are from different areas and have a little bit of everything."

Durant said the career fair brings all the companies to campus and students are able to meet with them in one place.

Tyndall said there are a number of "do's and don'ts" for the career fair.

Some do's are having a proofread resume, take time to research the companies, make a good first impression and take notes about the contacts made.

Don'ts include blowing past the booth, dressing too casual, showing up right before the fair ends or just winging it. "f you've worked the fair correctly, you should walk away with a better understanding of your career options."

What is your favorite thing about the State Fair?

Cartoon by Chris Maupin

The fair has come to town and with the month-long event comes a voyeuristic playground.

People from all walks of life, social classes and backgrounds convening on the State Fairgrounds to eat mass amounts prepared food, spend their checks on overpriced games in order to win a ten—cent stuff animal, and purchase items that usually are found at remote truck stops or Clines' Corner.

Walking through the sea of people, it is unknown what exactly you might encounter and last Saturday night was no different.

At the karaoke tent on the Midway, people lined up to perform in front of a complete crowd of strangers who were gulping beer as children ran almost unnoticed between the rows of chairs and trash.

Between singers the d.j. entertained the crowd with comments relating to Osama bin Laden. Every time the d.j. yelled his name the crowds yelled back, mumbling vengeful remarks in support of his slurs.

Then, outside of the tent a group began to stir. As the people parted two men lay on the ground bleeding from knife wounds.

The police immediately came to the aid of the two victims but the crowd was growing. Many onlookers were trying to get a glimpse of what was happening on the Midway. Groups of people were squeezing in between other groups until everyone had a clear vantage point.

Adults stood beside children watching as paramedics arrived on the scene. The situation seemed to have no effect on the watchful crowd, possibly because before they began their family outing, a television was on.

Minutes past and more people were arriving. The word of what happened spread down the Midway as fast as the fair workers snatched up the money out of your pockets.

Before leaving the fair, word had already spread. But each time someone mentioned the stabbing a different story was told, in a tone like describing what happened on Big Brother the night before. Onlookers watched but with no controller to switch the channel, it wouldn't be likely they would change the channel anyway.

what's

by Michael Larson ml@thevistaonline.com Art of the transaction Cash and goods - all that you buy, beg, borrow or steal. These are basic transactions in life, and they are not always spoken in textbook terminology.

"To bum" — this is basically asking for something without intending to give it back. "Can I bum a cigarette?" means please give me a cigarette.

"To jack" — quite literally, this is stealing. The term "car-jack" means to steal someone's car from them, either by pulling them out of it or by threatening them with a gun. "Somebody jacked my CD collection." — My CD collection has been stolen. This word is also used in a casual manner, like "to bum" — "Can I jack a dollar from you for the vending machine?"

"To hit one up for" also means to borrow, but — like "to jack" — there may be no intention of giving back. "Can I hit you up for a stick of gum. My breath is horrible." Don't confuse this with "To hit one up" meaning to call somebody. "'II hit you up later today."

"To spot" — this is loaning

something to someone. This implies that you expect it back. "'ll spot you for dinner. Just pay for me next time, okay?"

"To Bank" — more like real-life stealing. " ganked these clothes from The Gap. I just put them on a. under my other clothes."

"To blow" — the opposite of "to invest wisely." "To blow" means to spend blindly on something you don't need. " blew $200 on a new stereo. Now I can't pay the rent."

"To get one back" — This is paying someone back for a loan or a favor. Usually this is said when someone is loaning something.

"Here's $200 for the rent, stupid.

Next time think ahead. "'m sorry, man. I'll get you back."

"Free-loader" — somebody who takes advantage of things that are free. Usually has a negative connotation. "He's taking all those OXY pad free samples. What a freeloader!"

"A steal" — A steal means something's a good price. "The beer here is only $1. What a steal!"

"A rip-off" — the polar opposite of "A steal." This word is often used in the phrase "What a ripoff!" For example: "The beer here is $5. What a rip off" "Good for it" — used if someone has a reputation for paying people back quickly. "t's alright to loan Mario money. He's good for it.

"Hot" — if something is "hot," it has been stolen from somebody.

"He offered me this awesome stereo for only $200." "Well, it was probably hot, then." Don't confuse this with a person being "hot", which means attractive.

"That soccer mom is hot!"

Editor's Note: This is the eighth 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.

by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline.com Fourth on The Vista's Top Ten list of fastest growing jobs in the United States are social and human service assistants.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), social and human service assistants are generic terms for occupations such as community outreach worker, human service workers, life skill counselor and mental health aide.

These workers assist professionals such as social workers by helping people in need of assistance, working in concert with state and community-level organizations.

OKC Compassion, located at 1121 N. Penn, is an Oklahoma City faith-based organization which delivers human services to local residents, said Dr. Richard Bond, pastor at Penn Avenue Church of the Nazarene.

Bond also serves as director of OKC Compassion.

A volunteer hands out food as part of the OKC Compassion effort, put on by Penn Avenue Church of the Nazarene on Sept. 19th.

OKC Compassion volunteers do the work social and human service assistants would normally perform, Bond said. Those roles include organizing and leading group activities, providing free counseling and running halfway houses. They also transport individuals to clinics. "t's a lost world," said volunteer Ben Hester.

"God wants us to help people and he works through people. We don't let anybody go away emptyhanded."

Homeless individuals and

families receive assistance from OKC Compassion, Bond said.

Emergency financial aid is available. But funds are limited, Bond said. Some others seeking help are addicted to drugs.

"We respond to the needs of society, the poverty, the drugs," Bond said.

On Wednesday evenings, people with various addictions come to a meeting, part of a 12step recovery program, Bond said. People receive material and emotional support.

Social and human service workers also work in food banks.

With assistance from the Oklahoma County Senior Nutrition Program. Senior citizens may receive a free balanced meal from OKC Compassion, Bond said.

On Mondays and Thursdays, an average of more than 100 peoplee each receives a bag of groceries from the food bank.

Workers also hand out clothes from the clothing room. On Saturday mornings, they serve breakfast to an average of 150 people, Hester said. That number reaches 300 to 400 during major holidays.

OKC Compassion also sponsors four halfway houses, Bond said. Many social and human service assistants work in halfway houses, supervising residents.

Accoiding to the BLS, the increase in social and human service assistants is a high turnover rate and a rapid growth in the need for social and human services. The demand for services from organizations like OKC Compassion will be rising.

The median annual salary for social and human service assistants was $22,330 in 2000, according to the BLS. The top 10 percent earned more than $35,220, the lowest 10 percent less than $14,660.

Gear U p, from page 1 9th and 10th graders, which the gear up system clusters with different universities around the city like Oklahoma City University and Oklahoma University.

"What we were trying to do is show them the steps they can use to stay on course after they develop a goal," said Jay Troy, Gear Up's partnership coordinator for UCO. UCO provided lunch and beverages for all the students, and hired local band Hurricane Jane to play as buses arrived and poured out students.

Inside, students took to the bleachers, which were segregated by the schools, and teachers scrambled to account for the 1,400 youths. John Marshall students began chanting their name loudly, their shouts carrying across the empty air above the basketball court toward a rival school, which in turn chanted back.

The students in attendance had mixed motivations for coming to the event, and came from different backgrounds and different parts of town.

James Devine, a senior from Emerson Secondary School, said he enjoyed the event and that there were only a few students in his class who didn't want to attend.

Devine said if he goes to college, he will probably go to UCO because of its jazz program, and hopes his parents will help him pay for it.

Felicia Randle, a sophomore from Emerson Secondary School, said this was her third year to attend Gear Up. " think I'll come to UCO after I gradu-

ate," she said. "'d like to become a nurse or a pediatrician, but I'll probably change my mind at some point."

Randle said she would have to rely on student loans and grants because her parents were too poor to pay for college.

Several students from U.S. Grant High School where they study English as a second language, attended Gear Up for the first time.

Sophomore Nancy Madrigdes said she is planning to study business administration.

She hopes to pay for school with government grants and eventually move to Guatemala City.

Among teenagers wearing skateboardbrand clothing who formed a circle in front of Hamilton Field House and played hackysack was Northwest Classen sophomore Shawn Davis. "t was either come here or spend the day in a small room with our crazy Canadian substitute," said Davis, shielding his eyes from the afternoon sunlight.

Davis admitted his plan for the future was vague. "'II probably just work for a few years, then go to college," he said. " want to leave

Oklahoma."

Loan Vu, a sophomore from Northwest Classen, had her heart set on Ivy League schools. " just want to get as far away from my parents as possible," she said, before taking it back. "Actually, I'll miss my mom's cooking."

Nichols urges dismissal of bombing charges Bombing conspirator Terry Nichols urged the Oklahoma Supreme Court Friday to dismiss his case if justices decide paying more for his defense would hurt other court operations.

His defense attorney, Brian Hermanson, said dismissing the case is a solution to the controversy surrounding paying for Nichols' defense amid a statewide budget crisis that could affect

judicial operations. "f adequate funding is truly unavailable, then it is incumbent upon the judicial branch to take the necessary steps to ensure that Mr. Nichols is not provided merely a sham defense," the Ponca City attorney wrote.

Nichols is charged with 160 counts of first-degree murder for the April 1995 Oklahoma City

bombing. His defense attorneys already have spent more than $1.7 million.

Nichols was convicted at a federal trial in 1997 of conspiring to bomb the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and of the involuntary manslaughter of eight federal agents. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Nichols, 47, said the state case spuld be dismissed in the "furtherance of justice."

"Given all the circumstances of this case...this court ought to end this prosecution now," Hermanson wrote. 'A prosecutor cannot dictate that a case be pursued regardless of the cost or to the point where continued prose-

Jordan said he has been working on some ideas on how to increase funding for UCO. They are in the formative stage, Jordan said.

Desiree Treeby, a freshman from Owasso, said she is concerned about what could happen to classes.

"Bigger classes would mean less one—on—one time with professors,"Treeby said. "f they start dropping classes and something is required for your major you might have to go somewhere else to take it.

The Legislature should do what it can to prevent education from being hurt."

Andrew Darko, a computer science freshman from Ghana,

said classes being cut would be a major problem. He said many classes are already large enough.

If at all possible, UCO should not lay off faculty and staff, he said. " hope we can maintain the size we have now. The State Legislature should take some kind of action."

Jorge Alarcon, a history senior from Oklahoma City, also wants the Legislature to do more.

"Education should be a number one priority," Alarcon said. "f it's not, then there's going to be an exodus of students going elsewhere to get a higher education."

Jazz Lab lowering prices for Thursday student night

by Timber Massey tm@thevistaonline.com The UCO Jazz Lab will offer a special student night every Thursday beginning Sept. 26, said Greg White, Program and Production Associate for the UCO School of Music.

Adrienne Nobles, Marketing and Productions Coordinator for the College of Arts, Media and Design, said students will pay three dollars admission instead of the usual five dollars on Thursday nights.

Dr. Lee Rucker, UCO Music Professor and Director of the UCO Jazz Lab, will perform with the Edmond Jazz Quartet on Sept. 26.

White said, "Thursday nights at the Jazz Lab will be the perfect place for students to gather and unwind at the end of a hectic week."

"The Jazz Lab has a night club atmosphere. There is no other place quite like it in Edmond or Oklahoma City."

Jacob Becannon, junior music major, said, " have seen some very talented jazz musicians perform at the Jazz Lab." "t offers a more upscale lineup of live music than any of the other local clubs and bars in this area."

Nobles said that students come from all around the state to study under musicians at the Jazz Lab, such as Dr. Lee Rucker and Dr. Kent Kidwell.

"Students have the chance to study under one of the top music faculties in the state during the day and enjoy listening to talented musicians

at night," said Nobles.

"Student night will be an evolving event. We want to get feedback from students as to what they would like to see performed in the future."

Colby Bowers, junior art major, said, " hang out and listen to live music at the Jazz Lab all the time."

"There is never a shortage of talented musicians performing there."

White said in addition to offering a student discount they will also begin booking more UCO students to perform at the Jazz Lab. Nobles said, "The Jazz Lab is here for the students, they come first and foremost."

"We hope that more students will begin taking advantage of the unique live performances that the Jazz Lab has to offer."

He hides on dark country roads waiting to catch snakes, spiders or bats. Animals that many people are afraid of fascinate Doug Stine, UCO senior biology major.

Stine's interest in unusual animals began about ten years ago, when he got his first pet snake. A few years later, Carl Sandefur, a former Okla. City Zoo employee, started mentoring him.

"He taught me how to take care of animals and predict animal behavior," Stine said.

For the last three to four years he's been using his animal training to catch animals all across the country and in Mexico. Stine said he does it because he is interested in animals and teaching others about them.

In Florida, Stine said he's caught rattlesnakes, water moccasins, copper heads and banana spiders.

But Stine said it isn't necessary to leave Oklahoma to catch interesting animals.

"There's so much here you can go out and find," he said.

On a typical night in Oklahoma, Stine said he can find deer, skunks, raccoons, spiders and insects.

He said many animals receive a bad rap that they don't deserve.

"People see a spider and they'll squish it, but I want a spider in my house. They eliminate cockroaches and other bugs," he said.

Stine said when he finds a poisonous spider he doesn't kill it; he takes it outside.

Black widows are usually found in dark, dingy areas and brown recluses are often around cardboard boxes, he said.

"They're only dangerous when you're not paying attention. Just use caution."

He said he does a lot of what he calls, road hunting. He drives slowly in the country looking for animals.

"Animals typically come to the road looking for warmth, food or water," he said.

The Anglo-Catholic Faith — based upon "The Three Legged Stool of Anglicanism" • SCRIPTURE • TRADITION • REASON Richard Hooker, Anglican Divine [1554-1600)

Stine said if he can get someone fast enough with a camera behind him, he films the animals he catches. "'ll discuss the animal and refer to what it's doing," he said.

Stine said when he goes looking for an animal all he uses to help him catch the animal is a glove and a flashlight. "t's impressive if you can wrangle an animal that someone would normally have to use extra equipment," he said.

But Stine said that method isn't always the best and if an animal is too delicate or fast he'll use a stick to help him catch it.

Stine said he's never been seriously injured when catching an animal, but he has been hurt many times. ye been stung by scorpions and bitten by centipedes and snakes," he said.

To keep from being hurt or from hurting the animals Stine said one must have a broad knowledge of animal behavior.

Stine doesn't harm any of the animals he catches and the only time he keeps an animal is to transport them to a safer place. " always release my animals," he said.

Stine said his studies as a biology major have helped him learn about animals. He also owns many animals himself. " have boas, pythons, vipers, rattlesnakes, frogs, newts, scorpions, spiders and lots of insects," he said.

Stine said he keeps the animals at a friend's house that has a facility with a commercial permit.

He frequently gives talks about "creepy" animals at church and school groups. He walks

Doug Stine around with scorpions, tarantulas or snakes and lets audience members touch them.

Stine said he would like to have his own animal show one day, similar to Animal Planet stars, Steve Irwin or Jeff Corwin.

"My ultimate goal is to mass communicate animal and environmental awareness," Stein said.

Man nabs peeping tom using fishing line

Photo by Tina Fowbie Senior business administration major Wyatt Worden pulls out a Root Beer to serve to students attending the Happy Hour at the Hamilton Field House on Sept. 19.

A father who became convinced someone was watching his daughters as they showered at night took matters into his own hands, nabbing the peeping torn using fishing line.

"It was pretty ingenious, really," Wichita police Lt. Roy Mitchell said.

The 37-year-old husband and father would only identify himself as Brian because he has two daughters and doesn't want attention drawn to them.

It all started when Brian's wife noticed that a backyard chair kept being moved under a bathroom window overnight.

They didn't think much about it at first, he said. Perhaps the children were fooling around. But soon the couple was convinced someone was watching their girls, ages 6 and 15 , while they showered.

Brian, a hunter and fisherman, called police and asked if he could set up a bear trap, then watch for someone with a limp.

No, police told him, the person would just sue you.

With trapping out, Brian turned to fishing. Taking a spool of fishing line, he said he tied one end to the leg of the chair. He snaked the fishing line into the house, leaving the spool on the kitchen counter.

About 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, he got a bite. The spool fell off the counter and began unraveling.

"Just like I hooked a fish," Brian said. "He took the bait and ran with it."

Brian grabbed a piece of pipe and quietly slipped outside, he said. Peering around a corner, he watched a man fumbling with the chair, pulling it up to the window.

With his 6-year-old daughter in the bathroom at the time, Brian stepped forward and ordered the man to lie down while his wife called police.

The man complied, Brian said, and argued that he was looking for a cat.

Police arrived and took the 31-year-old man, who turned out to live a few houses away, to the Sedgwick County Jail.

Brian admits he's kind of surprised his contraption worked.

"It was just a stupid, little trap," he said. "But we got him."

A man who severed his right hand with a circular saw and then left it in the freezer while he drove himself to the hospital did the right thing, said the doctor who later reattached the hand.

Sean McHugh, 38, saved his hand from decomposing by putting it in the freezer, said Dr. Robert Murphy, a plastic surgeon at Lehigh Valley Hospital.

Murphy reattached the hand early Saturday in a procedure that took more than eight hours, as he connected the wrist bones, two arteries and veins, three major nerves and all the tendons on the hand.

McHugh severed the hand at 8 p.m. on Friday while he was using an electric circular saw. He then drove to the hospital, Murphy said.

Soon after, police were asked to pick up a bag of ice and go to McHugh's home to retrieve the hand, which was in the kitchen freezer.

Murphy said the surgery was successful and the hand will heal.

"He's otherwise healthy," Murphy said. "The bones will heal, the nerves will heal very slowly. The tendons on both sides of the hand will heal. Physical therapy will be crucial. Otherwise, he's very grateful.

Safety promotion mugs found hazardous The idea was to celebrate a new program by distributing free glass mugs bearing the word SAFETY. Then they turned out to be a safety hazard.

At least three mugs distributed by the Greater Vancouver Regional District's safety committee "have cracked, broken and/or exploded" when they were filled with hot coffee and other beverages, according to a warning notice.

No injuries were reported.

The safety alert bulletin, obtained by BCTV News on Global, said mugs were given to 400 district employees about five months ago to publicize a new safety management system.

"I appreciate the irony that something that was supposed to promote safety ended up cracking," district spokesman Bill Morrell said Tuesday.

Aquarium shark lacks mate, but eggs hatch The unexpected births of three baby sharks have experts at a city aquarium scratching their heads.

That's because the female whitespotted bamboo shark that gave birth to them at the Detroit's Belle Isle Aquarium hasn't been near a male shark in at least six years.

Often called a virgin birth, it's one of a few known occurrences at an accredited U.S. zoo or aquarium, the Detroit Free Press reported in a Friday story.

But officials at the aquarium said they weren't totally surprised.

"Fish do so many quirky things," said Doug Sweet, curator of fishes at the Detroit aquarium. "Even though this is exciting for us, we're like, 'Well, those darn fish are doing it again.' We kind of expect halfcrazy things from them."

Female sharks, like many animals, will lay infertile eggs even if there is no male mate around. The eggs are generally assumed to not be viable and thrown out.

But when the bamboo shark laid a clutch of eggs in late winter, Sweet left them in the tank because he had heard about a bonnethead shark at a Nebraska zoo that had a virgin birth last year.

Sweet kept the eggs in the tank with the female for a while, then moved them to another tank where the first egg hatched in July. It was followed soon by another, and a third egg hatched this week. Three or four more eggs may hatch in coming weeks, Sweet said.

C2MMENTAY AND rH91261kANY g Despite the constant claim of the Oklahoma State Fair public relations campaign that the fair has cleaned up its act, not a whole lot has changed.

MASSEY

Hannelore Krueger, UCO liberal arts senior, said, "When I was a little kid I used to always look forward to going to the state fair."

Children see the state fair as an undefiled wonderland where brilliant lights illuminate all of the thrilling rides. The infinite rows of stuffed animals and cotton candy are like a newly found utopia.

Over the years all that gleam and glitter seem to wash away and what is left is an endless abyss of putrid smelling Porta-Potties and seedy looking carnies.

Each year when the fair comes into town it brings with it

a mass of people who look like they could have tried out as extras in the movie Deliverance.

Many of these people are compelled to dawn their finest Mo' Betta shirts and skin tight Wrangler jeans before heading out to the state fair.

There are certain indigenous elements to the fair that never change no matter what your age.

One of these things is the mullet. Even though there are entire websites which are devoted to mocking people who sport the "business up front, party in the back" haircut, it is still prevalent at the state fair.

Another thing is people walking around gnawing on massive fleshy turkey legs. It really makes you wonder if scientists shouldn't begin searching for the missing link right here in our great state.

"You can basically get anything you want on a stick," said interior design junior Aubree Winkler.

"They have Oreo's, Snickers, and Twinkles on a stick that have been battered and then deep

fried," said Winkler.

You can't forget the omnipresent hecklers who lurk around every corner yelling complimentary catch phrases such as, "Hey good looking," to anyone who is unfortunate enough to be within range. " I was walking by the games and this guy yells out, 'Hey, you in the yellow shirt, you're number four' and I realized he has just assigned me the number four pig in a pig race," said Jacob Shores, senior English major.

Anyone planning on attending the fair will need a 4 X 4 vehicle to even make it through the parking lots that often resemble the aftermath of a monster truck rally.

It really makes you wonder if all of these things were there all along but now they're just a lot more visible because you're not

It was my idea and she said go ahead."

Wearing a white wedding dress and small yellow flowers in her hair, Dagi Hardy, stood out among other couples who wore everything from jeans and teeshirts to sun dresses and cowboy boots.

I thought this was a wedding so I wanted to wear a white dress," she said. — Even if I have to run around at the fair and everybody knows what I did today."

January and Levi Ervin got married for the first time Saturday.

The Hinton couple had planned a wedding earlier in the year, but a death in the family had

derailed the plans.

"This was a way to do it without having to really plan anything," January Ervin said.

"And I've always wanted a unique wedding."

Ervin, like the other couples, called into an Oklahoma City radio station to register for the wedding, which was part of this year's state fair theme "Love AFair."

But she had to convince her groom that a state fair wedding was the way to go: "At first he wasn't sure about it," Ervin said. "He thought everybody would think we were rednecks."

Nine couples tie the knot at state fair OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) It wasn't quite as snazzy as a Las Vegas love chapel and not as formal as a church wedding, but for Thomas and Dagi Hardy a wedding at the Oklahoma State Fair was perfect.

The Lawton couple were among nine couples who exchanged their vows Saturday morning at the fair.

Amid the smells of fresh funnel cakes, cotton candy and corn dogs the couples professed their undying love on a stage at the fair.

The mass wedding is the first in the state fair's 95 year history.

A former circus ringmaster, now municipal judge, presided as the couples either married for the first time or renewed their wedding vows.

The Hardys were married two months ago in the chambers of a justice of the peace, but the couple said they wanted a more formal ceremony.

'I've been wanting to do this in public," said Thomas Hardy, who was dressed in a dark suit.

Win breathes new life into Broncho football

by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com The UCO Bronchos went to Texas on Saturday with their back against the wall, after losing their first two games of the season, and did what they had to do — win!

Behind the superb running of Tarik Abdullah, who gained a career-high 202 yards with two touchdowns, the desperate Bronchos won their first game of the year at just the right time over West Texas A&M 34-14.

UCO improved to 1-2 overall, but more importantly they are now 1-0 in the Lone Star Conference.

The game was tied 14-14 at halftime, but UCO took control in the third quarter outscoring WTAMU 14-0. The Bronchos got short touchdown runs from Abdullah and Derrick Camacho and held the Buffaloes to 35 yards in the third quarter to take a 28-14 lead, then added two

A.J. Haglund field quarters in the final period to clinch it.

"Our offensive line did a great job with their run blocking and our backs took advantage, especially Tank," UCO coach Gary Howard said.

Abdullah scored on runs of two and 12 yards and finished with 202 yards in just 20 attempts, the 22nd-best singlegame rushing performance in school history.

UCO did everything right, eliminating turnovers and getting good production from quarterback Erick Johnson who was an effective 7-of-11 passing for 138 yards.

UCO also came up big defensively, shutting down the Buffaloes after WTAMU tied the contest 14-14 early in the second quarter.

The Bronchos picked off three passes, including a key one by defensive star Landon Dean at the UCO five-yard-line, while James Thornton and Anthony

given a great halftime speech, because the Bronchos sure responded in the third quarter. It only took four plays to go 80 yards with Camacho finishing it with his four-yard burst.

Haglund's third extra point of the game put the Bronchos on top for good, 21-14.

Thornton put UCO in prime scoring position minutes later with a diving interception at the WTAMU 40 and it took the Bronchos just four plays to convert. Abdullah did his usual damage, running for 35 yards to make the score 28-14.

UCO coasted in from there, getting two field goals in the fourth quarter while the defense kept WTAMU at check.

The Gators (3-1, 1-0 SEC) scored 24 second-quarter points, and by the time it stopped raining it was too late for the Volunteers (2-1, 0-1).

Tennessee fumbled the ball eight times, losing three. But Florida seemed to have no trouble holding onto the football, and their five-minute scoring burst stunned the crowd of 108,722 at Neyland Stadium.

The Gators now have taken control of the SEC East, despite s 41-16 loss two weeks ago to No. 1 Miami that had fans worried about the team's

Ken Dorsey finished 13-of26 for 202 yards and two touchdowns asMiami (4-0, 2-0 Big East) had an easier time with B.C. than last year.

ence and13 straight over the Eagles (2-1, 0-1).

No. 3 Texas 41, Houston 11 In Austin, Texas, Cedric Benson ran for 160 yards on 37 carries and Chris Simms passed for two touchdowns to lead Texas.

Beau Trahan scored a touchdown on a fake field goal, and Michael Huff returned an interception for a TD for the Longhorns (3-0), who beat their old Southwest Conference rivals for the seventh straight time.

Although much improved over last season's 0-11 effort, Houston (2-2) managed just 152 yards of total offense.

No. 5 Florida St. 48, Duke 17 In Tallahassee, Florida, Chris Rix threw two touchdown passes during Florida State's 21-point burst in the second quarter, helping the Seminoles break open a tight game.

Florida State (4-0, 3-0 ACC) ignored its running game to work on its passing attack, throwing for 404 of its 510 yards. Rix threw for 244 in his shortest stint in 16 starts.

Duke (1-3, 0-1 ACC ) out-

gained the 'Nolen in the opening quarterand tied the game at 3-all in the second period.

But that was it for the Blue Devils, who have lost 18 straight conference games and are winless in 11 tries against the Seminoles.

No. 6 Ohio St. 23, Cincinnati 19 In Cincinnati, Cincinnati receivers dropped two touchdown passes in the final minute, and quarterback Craig Krenzel ran for a late touchdown to rally the Buckeyes past Cincinnati.

Krenzel scored on a twisting scramble with 3:44 left to give Ohio State (4 - 0) the lead.

Before a Paul Brown Stadium-record of 66,319, the Bearcats (1-2) got one last chance wheriquarterback Gino Guidugli led the Bearcats from his own 20 to the Ohio State 15 with 1:01 left.

But Jon Olinger dropped a pass in the end zone, and George Murray came up empty on a diving try.

On fourth down, Guidugli's pass was knocked away by Buckeyes linebacker Matt Wilhelm.

Volleyball sets record winning streak man Kena Harris came off the bench to get nine kills and hit .500 in two games. Tori Walker added seven kills and 15 digs and Katy Wallace six kills for UCO. UCO then set a school record for consecutive wins and wrapped up an impressive week on the road Saturday afternoon with a hard-fought five-game win over Lone Star Conference North Division rival Texas A&M-Commerce.

The Bronchos prevailed 3028, 23-30, 30-14, 22-30, 15-13 in the two-hour marathon for their 12th straight win, breaking the school record of 11 consecutive victories set it 1994.

UCO improved to 12-2 on the year and 3-0 in the LSC North, winning all three league matches on the road this week. "t was a great match and a big, big win for us," Herrin said.

"We knew it would be a dog fight and it certainly was but we made the plays we needed to in some crucial situations.

The Bronchos used a balanced attack, getting 19 kills from Alma Brahimaj, 17 from Lexy Fortner and 13 from Tori Walker, while Stacey Meek had 55 assists and four assisted blocks.

Friday night the Bronchos had a three-game romp past Southeastern Oklahoma. The defending LSC North Division champion Bronchos routed the Savages 30-19, 30-14, 30-20.

Brahimaj, UCO's star senior outside hitter, had nine kills and nine digs in limited action but still set an LSC record for career kills.

The senior star entered the match tied with former West Texas A&M All-American Sarah Butler with 2,000 career kills and broke that mark early in the first game.

"We played pretty well and took it to them early'," UCO coach Mark Herrin said. t was good to see Alma get the conference record for kills because she has been such a great player for us the past four years.

Midwestern State Invitational.

The Bronchos, off to the best start in school history, improved to 7-0 on the season and have now outscored their opponents 19-1 this season. UCO returns to action here Sept. 29 with a 3 p.m. contest against Incarnate Word.

shutout of the season while recording three saves in going the distance in the net.

Fullbacks Lisa Hansen, Stephanie Finley and Stephanie Gulisao helped key UCO's defensive efforts.

"Once again we missed out on several opportunities to score more goals, but our defense was outstanding," UCO coach Mike Cook said.

"It's frustrating that we don't score more than we do with the chances we have, but overall I thought we played well."

"We've got a big game corning up Sunday against Incarnate Word and we're going to have to be ready to play our best."

UCO was ranked third in this week's Midwest Region rankings with Incarnate Word fourth. The top three teams from each of the eight NCAA Division II regionals advance to the national tournament at the conclusion of the regular season.

Brown, a senior from Norman who already ranks as the leading scorer in Lone Star Conference history, scored her fifth goal of the season just 1:27 before halftime to break a scoreless tie when she took a Joy Hagemann pass and booted it into the goal.

That score held up until the 61st minute when Gutierrez tallied her fifth goal of the season, this one an unassisted effort that gave UCO a virtually insurmountable 2-0 lead.

The Bronchos out-shot St. Edward's 18-8 in the game and freshman goalkeeper Kristina Moore registered her third
