UCOSA President addresses the Campus by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline.com In his "State of the Campus" address Sept. 23, UCOSA President J.P. Jordan discussed possible upcoming changes in the university alcohol policy, the status of UCONNECT and the proposed 2002-2003 UCOSA budget. Jordan urged legislators to think about their goals for the upcoming year. By the end of this semester, Jordan said he
would like legislators to double the pieces of legislation normally produced, which normally is 10 to 12. Regarding the alcohol policy, Jordan said, "I asked the members of the House and Senate to please hold off from writing any legislation related to this matter, due to the fact that the administration, especially the office of Dr. [Kathryn] Gage, is looking into changing this policy."
"Let me reiterate that this [new policy] has not passed and the current policy still stands." University officials have told Jordan they would like to establish "a more reasonable" offcampus policy. Presently, as outlined in its student conduct policy, UCO ... prohibits the unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees in buildings, facilities, grounds or other

The "Third Party Vendor Bill" would allow a student organization, after gaining university permission, to sell alcohol during off-campus events to students age 21 or older. Student organizations, not UCO, would be responsible for alcohol-related liability, said Jake Winkler, House speaker.
Jordan said other comparable state universities have more reasonable off-campus alcohol policies. Jordan urged patience with UCONNECT, a Web portal that gives students, staff and faculty private access to various services and information. The service is new, going through some growing pains, he said. Jordan also announced the

Freshman Enrollment increases by Timber Massey tm@thevistaonline.com The UCO Office of Institutional Research has reported a 13.7 percent increase in freshman enrollment this fall, compared to the number enrolled last year. Jerry Legere, assistant vice president of Enrollment Services, said the increase is not unique to UCO. "Other schools throughout the state have seen a similar increase in freshman enrollment," said Legere. "Many people have speculated that the sudden increase may have something to do with Sept. 11. Instead of going to school out of state, more students are staying at home to be close to their families." Andrew Dowdell, freshman academic advisor, said, "The new Banner system has had a huge positive impact on enrollment. The lines have been much shorter and people do not have to wait near as long." Dowdell said the sudden increase in freshman could also be a result of stricter admission
requirements by the University of Oklahoma. "The GPA requirement was raised this semester and the deadline for enrollment was very early. Students who waited until the last minute to enroll or could not meet the requirements may have decided to enroll at UCO." Ronnie Hopkins, assistant director of Prospective Student Services and Scholarships, said UCO is on a five or six-year increase in freshman enrollment. "More students who have attended UCO and realized what a great school it is have been telling their friends," said Hopkins. "The word has gotten out about how many great programs UCO has to offer, like forensic science and nursing." Legere said UCO has struggled with increased enrollment because of multi-million-dollar state budget cuts. "Tuition revenue only pays for 33 percent of the cost of a

ISC seeks international students participation
■
Few international students take advantage of the benefits of forming a student organization
by Stephanie Nease sn@thevistaonline.com International students from 100 nations attend UCO, but only 17 nations belong to the International Student Council (ISC), said Jalal Daneshfar, International Students' immigration and activity director. Presidents of official international student groups make up the ISC. The ISC elects officers who oversee their meetings with help from Daneshfar. By election, one student becomes a senator to UCOSA. Josh Smith, Hong Kong Student Association secretary, serves as ISC senator to UCOSA. He said the council promotes international students in leadership positions. Shino Higuchi, Japanese Student Association president and vice president of ISC, conducted the Sept. 23 meeting in place of Fadee Mondalek, ISC president from Lebanon, who was absent. "I enjoy [ISC] a lot. I know more about what's going on at school. [ISC] helps me feel a part of things. I'm engaged in things that happen at school," she said. During the meeting, Higuchi used "Roberts' Rules of Order." Everyone received the agenda, as well as minutes from the previous meeting.
Members discussed the activity of the participating associations. The council welcomes visitors to ISC meetings at 4 p.m. every Monday at University Center Room 322. Special seating is available. Daneshfar said nations organizing at least 12 members and one sponsor on campus become ISC members and qualify for student activity fees to cover their group activities. If UCO's 65 Bulgarian students form a Bulgarian student group, they can get $318.25 to cover group expenses if they take the steps Campus Life requires, he said. Steps include planning their first meeting, getting signatures of 12 members, electing officers, and getting the signature of a faculty member or employee sponsor, he said. Daneshfar said UCO has enough students from Venezuela, Mexico, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and Albania that they also qualify for funding if they do the work required. He said interested students should go to the International Students' office on the first floor of University Center when trying to form a group for a particular nation. "[They] may not be comfortable dealing with Campus Life, especially when they're new. It's best to come to International Students' office. We'll work with Campus Life to facilitate the process," Daneshfar said.

What advice do you wish you had been given as a freshman? Cartoon by Chris Maupin
UCOSA is trying to find a vice president for the organization, and so far the senate doesn't seem to be impressed with J.P. Jordan's nominee, Chad Dimmick. The UCOSA senate is worried that Dimmick might again quit during his term as he did in 2001, or that his close friendship with Jordan could either make it tough for them to keep each other in check. The most interesting concern the senate has is the fact that Dimmick was a fraternity member, which could cause negative feelings in some students. And here we thought prejudice of any kind shouldn't be allowed, especially in the organization that is supposed to represent the entire student body. However, most of the senate's other concerns are valid and deserve some serious thoughts. Dimmick said he took a year off school when he
resigned in 2001 in order to travel and he is ready to finish school this time around. He said that he would be honorable when dealing with issues regarding organizations he has had any connection with. The question is, does his other qualities outweigh the worries UCOSA senate might have? Some of these questions also need to be directed to Jordan, the man who nominated Dimmick. If Jordan doesn't think there is a better candidate for the vice presidency than a guy who had a chance to make a difference in the organization and decided not to and one who is his personal friend, then he needs to stand up and explain to the UCOSA senate and the rest of the student body why Dimmick is the best man for the job.

When you leave home and come to college, you get all sorts of advice from people about what to do, what not to do, who to avoid, where to go, where not to go, and what paths to take as you go through the higher education system. People are quick to relive their past experiences and show you their mistakes, successes and regrets. Most of the advice comes in the form of what classes to take, how to keep your head above the water of papers, tests and homework, and even what professors to avoid or take based on hearsay or their experiences with the him or her. The point is that there is no exact piece of advice for students who are first experiencing independence, because every college experience is different. Take one of life's simpler voyages, learning to use the bathroom by oneself, I'm sure we all have our own messy stories, that are similar, yet vastly different from our peers. The point is that we are all different, we experience the world differently. Education is not just about the classes you are enrolled in or the organizations that you spend countless hours in. It is about learning life and not just what definition is on page 22
of your 60-dollar book or being about to recite the Goateebo Theory and the Never Ending Math Equation. It is about making mistakes, learning from them and taking criticism with a smile. It is meeting as many people as you can and understanding why they think a specific way and effectively communicating your views to them. It is about finding out what you do not want to do. If someone gives you one piece of advice, let it be either, have no regrets and to steal from Ron, Carpe Diem. Don't say, "I don't have time or the money or that there is nothing to do in this town." Everything you do can be an experience from taking a short trip down the mother road for a bottle of 2-dollar homemade blackberry jam to running across Myriad Gardens. So, all that said, freshman, take this time, while you are still close to mom and dad's heartstrings, to enjoy your new found freedoms! Be Christopher Columbus, explore, find out who you are, who you are not, and never let a sophomore tell you not to take a professor, because they are not you, and that professor may have a treasure waiting for you on the other side of the rainbow.

When an issue goes before the council for deliberation and possible amendment, each council member's voice gets heard before they vote, he said. "In fact, conflict is good.

"When the council finds itself in debate, they've discovered a means of communication that bridges cultural barriers, personal interests and religion," he said.

Iranian Film Festival slated for Sept. 28 by Stephanie Nease sn@thevistaonline.corn The Iranian Student Association Film Festival will present a recently released Iranian film, Swan's Song, at 7 p.m. Sept. 28 in the Liberal Arts Building's Pegasus Theater. The $3 tickets are available at the door, with proceeds going to the Iranian Student Association. The 2-hour PG-13 film, starring Mr.
Shadmher Agheli, a popular Iranian actor, is in its original Farsi with no subtitles. Mr. Jalal Daneshfar, an American citizen from Iran, described the film as "a modern day love story about young people in Iran," and said people don't need to know the language to enjoy and understand the story. Ms. Yasin Saghafi, MIS graduate student and Iranian Student Association president, said the group wants to offer a new film each month, and is in contract negotiations with a California company to provide them.

Editor's Note: This is the ninth 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 Third on The Vista's Top Ten list of fastest growing jobs in the United States is medical assistant, topping several occupations in this category. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), other fast growing medical occupations are medical records and health infor-
mation technicians, home health aides, physician assistants, physical therapist aides and assistants, occupational therapist aides and audiologists. Unlike physician's assistants, who provide more intensive medical care under the direction of a physician, medical assistants perform administrative and clinical tasks for physicians, optometrists, podiatrists and chiropractors in their offices and clinics. Medical assistants should have good manual dexterity, visual acuity, the ability to respect the boundaries of doctor-patient confidentiality and good interpersonal communication skills, said David Wiggins director of Francis Tuttle's medical assisting program. Wiggins also is an instructor.

"Confidentiality has become a really big issue in the past couple of years," Wiggins said. Reasons his students chose medical assisting include a desire to help people and the variety of skills training they receive. "Our medical assisting students are trained to be multifunctional so they can move around from the front office to the back office," Wiggins said. Francis Tuttle, an Oklahoma technology center, offers training for individuals wanting to become a medical assistant. Fulltime students complete the program in 10 months, Wiggins said. Those who then pass the national certification exam become certified medical assistants. Some students go on to work toward four-year degrees,

Several UCO departments are taking steps to inform students of the risks and hazards of breast cancer. For the third year in a row, the Student Health Center will open the conference room and provide free educational resources such as brochures, a self-exam video and shower cards to women interested in learning about cancer prevention, said LaBetta Wallenmeyer, director of the Student Health Center. "Education is the first step in prevention," she said. Miwa Isoe, senior community health major, said, "This is a good opportunity for young women to come and learn about breast cancer and how to prevent it. Wallenmeyer said the resources will be available to students from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Wednesday in October "We hope to add another day during the week as well," she said. The National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations's (NABCO) most recent statistics state that, excluding cancers of the skin, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women in the United States.

Wiggins said. In addition to becoming medical assistants, Francis Tuttle graduates could work as a medical office manager, an insurance specialist or a medical receptionist. At Francis Tuttle, students learn job skills in six clinic areas, duplicates of real-world counterparts, Wiggins said. "If it's done at a clinic, we do it here," Wiggins said. Francis Tuttle student Mary Donnelly will complete the medical assisting program in December. She worked for 33 years at Seagate and decided that a career change was right for her. "I had a career change choice and the health field was one of the hot areas at the time," Donnelly said. Donnelly said the prospect of being cross-trained for front office and back office work appealed to her. Wiggins said some medical assistants specialize and work as a podiatric medical assistant or an ophthalmic medical assistant. The rapid increase in the need for medical assistants is attributed to technological advances in medicine delivery systems and the aging of babyboomer generation, according to the BLS. Wiggins said doctors offices are becoming more complex. More so than ever, medical assistants are doing work that was done by nurses. Among other

Life changes may bring on the pounds by Summer Pratt sp@thevistaonline.com The first year of college is a time when students are experiencing new freedom in many areas of their lives, including when and what they choose to eat, Dr. Marilyn Waters, professor of nutrition, dietetics and food management, said. Waters said she thinks the first year of college weight gain that is often referred to as the "freshman 15," is a real occurrence. Todd Wauters, biology junior, said he gained weight during his freshman year. "It was mainly from beer," Wauters said. Karen Meyers, a registered nurse and director of dietetic internships at UCO, said alcohol can be an extra source of calories leading to weight gain for some students. Wauters said he recently lost the weight he gained during his freshman year. "I started running about three months ago," he said. Erin Martin, family and child development senior, said she gained ten pounds her freshman year. "My eating habits changed and I wasn't as active as I was in high school," Martin said. "I ate like crazy," she said. Martin said she has since lost the weight. "I started eating healthier. I ran a lot," she said. Waters said students who are used to eating three balanced meals a day at home, come to college and forget about good eating habits. "Once you get to college you don't have to work around those rules, which were there for a very good reason," Waters said. Some of the reasons students gain weight are eating fast food, eating late at night, eating on the run and eating unbalanced meals, she said. "Not eating breakfast is the worst thing you can do," Waters said. She said when students skip breakfast they often eat too big of a lunch and a dinner. Meyers said some freshman gain weight
because it's the first time they've had to plan their own meals. "Fast food is really easy," Meyers said. The pressure associated with the first year of college causes some students to overeat, Meyers said. "Some students deal with stress by eating," she said. Meyers recommends students find nonfood related activities to do during study breaks. Kara Canham, music education freshman, said she finds herself eating more when she is studying. "I eat more and I eat later," Canham said. She said her aunt told her about the "freshman 15" but she doesn't know if her weight has changed since she started college. "There's no scales here, so I don't really think about it," Canham said. She said she eats most of her meals in the cafeteria. "There's always opportunities to eat healthy, but sometimes I don't like them," Canham said. Amber Myers, elementary education freshman, said her eating habits have changed some since she started college. "I eat later at night," Myers said. She also said she's been eating a lot of quick, microwaveable foods. Myers said she played volleyball in high school and plans to do intramural volleyball this year. Although some students become less active when they come to college, she said she is actually more physically active. "I do a lot of walking. I walk everywhere I go," Myers said. "I'm bound and determined not to gain weight if I can help it," she said. Jamie Hooyman, coordinator of recreation management and exercise/fitness management at UCO said that students gain weight their freshman year for a variety of reasons. She said it is difficult to eat right and get enough exercise when you are a student. "When you come to college you're sit-

She said many students who were forced to be physically active in high school, through team sports and physical education classes, don't know how to set up a regular exercise routine once they come to college. Hooyman said students should choose a physical activity that they like and compatible with their schedule. "Make it a priority," she said. She also said setting realistic long and short-term goals is important. "Don't key so much into what society says is ideal, but what is ideal for you," Hooyman said. Meyers said to avoid the freshman 15, students should, "Focus on a healthy lifestyle, instead of weight."

"I would hope that people would also see my achievements that I've done here on campus," Dimmick said. "Unfortunately, that's the way society is.

Dimmick pointed out that not all the members of the student appropriations board belong to a fraternity or a sorority, an opportunity for other voices to be heard. "Scandals happen," Dimmick said. "And what happened in the past, happened in the past. We can't dwell on that. We need to move on if we want to see anything be achieved this year." Following the interview, the judiciary committee members went into executive session. The committee could schedule another interview session with Dimmick or have the Senate vote on the appointment. The Senate's next regularly scheduled meeting is on Sept 30.
some classes may be closed to non-majors due to the increased enrollment. "The budget cuts have made it more difficult to hire adjunct professors to teach classes which are filled to capacity,' said Legere. Legere said his best advice to students on getting the classes they want is to enroll early, before classes fill up.

For your viewing pleasure One Hour Photo chills audience by Jera Stone js@thevistaonline.com Grade: worth buying first-run tickets
Has anyone ever wondered if the employees at your favorite photo processing store ever do anything other than looking at your photos when they process your film? One Hour Photo (with a more telling French title Photo Obsession) begins with a simple possibility and ends up with a story that is both terrifying and thought provoking. The film is written and directed by famed music video director Mark Romanek, whose previous work included Beck's Devil's Haircut, Janet and Michael Jackson's Scream and the notorious Nine Inch Nails Closer. Robin Williams, in a departure from his normal fun-loving characters, plays Sy Parrish, the "photo guy" at the local superstore-like SavMart. Sy's life revolves around his work, which he takes very seriously. He takes pride in making the photo-processing
center the best place in town for photo developing, no matter that he might very well be the only person who cares about it. Nina (Connie Nielsen, Gladiator) and Will Yorkin (Michael Varcan, Never Been Kissed, "Alias") have been developing their family photos at SavMart since before their son Jake (Dylan Smith) was born nine years earlier. Unbeknownst to the Yorkins, Sy has developed an obsession from watching them in photos, which depicted a seemingly perfect family. Gradually, Sy tries to get closer to the Yorkins by "coincidentally" running into Nina and Jake at the mall or the soccer field, reading the same book Nina is reading and attempting to give Jake presents. Then one day, Sy finds out about Will's secret, and the fantasy life Sy had made up about the Yorkins' is destroyed. The disillusion causes even more disturbing behavior from Sy and leads to possible deadly results. From the first frame of the film, Romanek lures the audience into the unsettling psych of the character Sy. Like most directors who are adept in making music videos (think David
ad n rihg,th is i rcour special U1C)
othe r or
Fincher), Romanek's direction brings intriguingly-choreographed scenes to the screen with stylish cinematography. The deliberate pacing of the film as we follow Sy's thoughts and actions is reminiscent of Taxi Driver, and the sometimes use of narrative voice and the punctuating score resembles American
Beauty. Williams, who earlier this year turned in a chilling performance as the villain in the remake of the Norwegian film Insomnia, proved once and for all that he is not just a comedic actor. From his partially-shaven hairline, the listless facial expression, the subdued yet agonizing loneliness in his eyes to the slightly dragging feet in his walk, there is absolutely no sign of the Robin Williams we are used to seeing in Flubber, Mrs. Doubtfire or the recent naughty turn in his Live on Broadway special. Williams' perfect portrayal of the silent middle-aged man with psychotic obsessions who no one really notices is what drives this film. And if you've never believed in the brilliance of this man as I have, this film will change your mind. The supporting actors all do a fine job with the exception of Eriq La Salle, who plays the detective who arrests Sy. La Salle brings out the I-can-be-a-great-andkind-doctor face from his "E.R." days and keeps it on for the entire film which makes me want to scream, "hey, man, lets see what else you can do, please." I must also mention Gary Cole's (The

Overall, this film is a well-crafted effort and a psychological analyst of a troubled man that is well worth your time, if you don't mind watching a movie that is more than mindless action.

Oklahoma City. Catherine Baird, a recent UCO theater arts graduate who now works as a costume designer at Rose State College, assisted DeLeon as the production's dresser. According to DeLeon the play is set in August of 1942 in Yonkers, NY. In the early days of World War II. DeLeon said the play is about three generations of a Jewish family living under one roof. Two boys are sent to live with their German grandma Kurnitz and their mentally challenged aunt, Bella, after their mother dies, said DeLeon. DeLeon said the play teaches its audience that blood is thicker than water. Baird said, "It is a sweet play about characters who defy the odds against them." "Bella learns an important life lesson by making her own decisions." DeLeon said, "By the end of the play it is established that every family is a bit dysfunctional but family is a bond that cannot be broken." She said the play, which won Neil Simon the Pulitzer Prize and

More than 200,000 residents enroll in no-call program OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) More than 200,000 Oklahomans enrolled in the state's no-call telemarketing registry in its first week, Attorney General Drew Edmondson said Monday. The new program kicked off Sept. 16 when Edmondson's office began accepting registrations from Oklahomans who do not want to be contacted by telemarketers. One week later, 202,157 people had added their names to the list. "We tried to prepare for a large volume, but this exceeded our expectations," Edmondson said. "I'm pleased so many people are interested in the program." The attorney general said 121,796 people registered on line and 73,490 registered by telephone. An additional 6,871 registrations were received by mail, most from a booth at the State Fair in Oklahoma City operated by the American Association of Retired People. Registration cards will be available at the AARP's booth at the Tulsa State Fair and at

Colby Bowers, Tyler Randolph, Tim Long and Devin Oglesby are UCO students and members of Long Time Circus
MO band performs this weekend by Timber Massey tm@thevistaonline.com The nondescript brick house on Edgewood Lane is like every other house in the quiet little suburban neighborhood, except for the music exuding into the autumn air. Despite the numerous mattresses and pieces of foam egg carton and carpet lining the walls of the garage, music escapes like water from a leaky faucet. Inside the garage Long Time Circus, a band comprised of UCO students Devin Oglesby, Tim Long, Tyler Randolph and Colby Bowers, practices to perform on Sept. 28 in Norman. All of the band members became friends while growing up in Duncan about 80 miles from UCO. Ogelsby and Randolph have
been playing in bands together since high school. Bowers, junior art major, said he was inspired to join a band when he and Ogelsby met two of the members of Phish while attending one of their concerts in Austin. "Devin and I were walking down the street and we happened to see Trey Anastasio and Page McConnell walking into a bar," Bowers said. "We went into the bar and finally got up the nerve to talk to them. They were both incredibly personable and intelligent." "They asked us if there was any particular song that we wanted to hear," said Oglesby, business senior. "We requested the song 'Farmhouse' and it was the third song they played at the show that night." Long, history senior, said he joined- the
band last summer after their old bass player didn't quite work out. "He was all thumbs, quite literally, the guy actually had three thumbs." Long Time Circus said their influences are anything from jam bands like Widespread Panic and the Grateful Dead to more traditional jazz and bluegrass. "Our sound is sort of a space jazz with serrated edges," said Randolph, graphic arts senior. "The main goal of our band is to have the same effect on people that the bands we love have had on us," said Oglesby. Long Time Circus will perform at 4 p.m. on Sept. 28 in the parking lot of Hideaway Pizza, 577 Buchanan, in Norman. The band members said they would also like to perform on the UCO campus.

Football looks for second win Fortner wins award by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com The UCO football team will return home this weekend after their first win of the season last Saturday against West Texas A&M, 34-14. In that win, UCO took over in the third quarter after being tied 14-14 at halftime. The Bronchos limited the Buffs to 35 total yards in the third quarter while taking a 2814 lead then added two fourth quarter field goals. Junior Tarik Abdullah rushed for a career-high 202 yards and two touchdowns on only 20 carries. That victory gives the Bronchos a boost in the Lone Star Conference, where they are now 1-0, even though their overall record is 1-2. This week UCO will play another LSC game against a South opponent on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 2 p.m. at Wantland Stadium. UCO will play against a Texas A&M-Commerce team that was limited to 177 yards in a 21-7 loss to East Central. The Lions took an early 7-0

lead on its first possession, but ECU scored 21 unanswered points. Last year TAMU-C racked up 549 yards of total offense and won the ball game 24-7 over the Bronchos in Commerce, Texas. Though limited to one catch for 27 yards in last week's win over West Texas A&M, Dee Dee Carter did have six receptions for 163 yards against TAMU-C. Carter goes into this weekend's game at fourth on UCO's career receiving list with 1,765 yards. He needs 535 to become the all-time leader in that category. The Bronchos are currently 1-2 on the season, but more importantly 1-0 in the league standings. UCO's offense balances their attack averaging 176.3 yards a game passing and 166.7 rushing. Jeremy Dale, Landon Dean, and Evan Helvey lead the Broncho defense with 30, 26, and 24 tackles respectively. UCO has a 125-58-5 record at home, but the Bronchos have lost six straight home games. UCO's last home win was a 51-7 stomp over Southeastern Oklahoma on Nov. 4, 2000.

Win may have saved season
Dara Lawless Sports Editor The Broncho's football team finally pulled out a win, a win that may have just saved their season. Going into the game against West Texas A&M 0-2 was discouraging enough, but they snapped out of a losing streak just in time. UCO's 34-14 victory wasn't just a regular season game but a Lone Star Conference game. Here's the scenario Broncho football would be looking at if they hadn't broken the 14-14 tie at halftime and won last weekend. UCO would be going into its fourth game of the season with an 0-3 regular season record and 0-1 in the LSC, not to mention they haven't won at home since Nov. 4, 2000. Thankfully the scenario is much brighter and offers lots more hope than that. The Bronchos are 1-2 and need to look at the upcoming game as a chance to make .500

and improve while it's still early in the season. Better yet, a win against Texas A&M-Commerce in the LSC crossover game would put UCO at 2-0 in the conference. UCO is coming off of a win while TAMU-C was shut down by East Central in its last game. Commerce is 0-2 overall and its defense has been giving up 331.5 yards an outing to the opposition. Now is the time for the Bronchos to make their move. They need to use the win last weekend to springboard them into another victory on Saturday, Sept. 28. They can't provide TAMU-C with their first win of the season, especially in front of the home crowd. At this point, UCO quarterback Erick Johnson should be comfortable at the helm of his offense. He needs to find star split end Dee Dee Carter for some big plays. The Broncho defense has had some shining moments despite the past losses. The defense needs to stick it to Commerce's offense right out of the gate and not wait around until the second quarter to gain intensity. The Broncho's are mostly healthy, with only a couple of questionables for Saturday. UCO has the potential to put the past behind them and still come out a threat this season. Now, if only I had an opinion for the Cowboys.

The No. 16-ranked Bronchos are now off to their best start in school history with and 8-0 record on the season and have now outscored their opponents 23-1 this season. Sunday's game was expected to be a showdown as UCO entered the contest ranked second in the Midwest Region and Incarnate Word fourth, but the Bronchos took control early and were in control throughout. "We played really well, especially defensively, and it was a great win for us," said UCO coach Mike Cook, whose team outshot IWU 22-3. "Incarnate Word has a good team and we just took it to them." Brown, the leading career scorer in the Lone Star Conference, had her first twogoal game of the season to pace UCO's offense. She scored in the 15th minute off a Valerie Gutierrez assist to put the Bronchos on top, then got the assist on a Joy Hagemann goal five minutes late to make it 2-0. Brown added another goal

"In 1993, the study was happily accepted because everyone wanted to believe it was so easy to raise your IQ."
So Montgomery decided to conduct the same experiment herself. "I thought maybe the reason scores were lower after the silence was that the students had become bored," Montgomery said. So she added a fourth variable: that students would sit in silence twice — once with nothing to do and once with coloring books. Donovan said, "The idea was, the Mozart didn't help students, the other conditions just dulled them." Montgomery's first experiment compared test subjects against themselves in the original three scenarios, with 45 students in 5-student groups. The second time she used 62 students, and she added the coloring book part of the test as part of her graduation thesis. She tested students in groups of 12 or less, and changed the order of the tests. Montgomery found that listening to Mozart ended up inhibiting the student's performance, and caused them to make more errors than normal. "We already know that listening to music while doing your homework is a distraction," Montgomery said. "When the students started taking the test, the music kept replaying in their heads, distracting them from the test."
"I don't think there is anything you can do before taking a test to improve your IQ, including listening to Mozart," said Montgomery. "That's the whole reason the IQ test is standard." Donovan said, "In 1993, the study was happily accepted because everyone wanted to believe it was so easy to raise your IQ." Now she thinks getting the general public to reconsider the "Mozart Effect" after nearly a decade will be long process. Donovan said Frances Rauscher and Gordon Shaw, who carried out the original experiment, have made no public acknowledgement of mounting information that their results were inaccurate. Shaw went on to write a book about the "Mozart Effect" called "Keeping Mozart in Mind." Rauscher has written academic essays arguing that by subjecting mice to classical music during their infancy, they perform better in rat mazes. Don Campbell operates a commercial website www.mozarteffect.com and travels around giving seminars on its merits.

The University of Central Oklahoma Symphony Orchestra will perform along side several Chinese musicians at the Charles W. Eiesmann Center for Performing Arts in Richardson, Texas, Oct. 5 and 6. The performance comes at the invitation of UCO alumnus David Wong. Wong, a native of China, wanted to give back to the university by providing students unique performance opportunities and exposure to eastern music--something he has been doing for young musicians in Texas for several years. He is the founder, conductor and executive director of the North America Elite Youth Orchestra, the founder and executive director of the Texas Performing Chinese Arts Association and conductor of the Dallas Chinese/American Youth
Chamber Orchestra. In 1992, he was named an Outstanding Alumnus of UCO in recognition for his community service and leadership. Wong will conduct the UCO Symphony Orchestra at the concerts. The orchestra will perform a blend of eastern and western music, featuring several Chinese soloists. "One of the goals of the College of Arts, Media & Design is to increase the global vision of our students," said Dr. Ralph Morris, director of UCO's School of Music. "The School of Music has worked hard to do that by offering performance tours to places like Austria, Germany and Australia. This performance at the Eiesmann Center is another step toward that goal." The orchestra will play the same concert in UCO's Mitchell Hall Theatre Oct. 15 at 7:30 p.m. Currently, the School of Music is planning a performance tour to China for the orchestra in March 2004. For tickets to the Mitchell Hall concert, call 974-3375.

BRIEFS National OMAHA, Neb. (AP) A woman's body was found early Monday in a parking lot outside halfway house. The woman, who was believed to be around 40 years old, was not immediately identified. Investigators had not determined how she died, but preliminary indications were that she had been shot, Officer Dave Volenec said. VOlenec said a 911 call came in just before 6 a.m. CDT reporting the woman down in the north Omaha parking lot. Officers responded and found the woman's body lying face down.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) State Sen. John Verkamp was arrested in Scottsdale during the weekend for interfering with the duties of a police officer, police said Monday. Just before his arrest early Sunday, Verkamp was a passenger in a vehicle driven by a woman who was booked on a drunken driving charge, police said. Verkamp, 62, was booked on charges of failing to obey a police officer and resisting arrest, said Scottsdale police spokesman Doug Dirren. The driver was identified as Carol Curl, a 53-year-old real estate agent from Hillsboro, Ore., he said. Sunday's arrest wasn't Verkamp's first. The Flagstaff Republican was convicted in early 2000 of extreme DUI. In that case, Verkamp was stopped in front of the Flagstaff Police Department while driving the wrong way on a one-way street.
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) The state has hired a consultant from Austin, Texas, the site of International SEMATECH's first research center, to show officials how to use the world's largest computer chip maker to lure thousands of additional jobs to New York, Gov. George Pataki announced Monday. The company said in July it will build a $403 million research-and-development center at the State University of New York at Albany, which will initially employ 250 researchers. International SEMATECH, a consortium of the world's 12 major computer chip makers, opened its first center in Austin, Texas, in 1988. The region's population has more than doubled since 1990, to more than 1.2 million, and technologyrelated employment has grown to 125,000 jobs, according to Pataki's office. A former Austin executive will now help as New York attempts to copy that growth. The Empire State Development Corp. approved a one-year, $150,000 contract with Angelou
Economics, headed by Angelos Angelous, formerly with the Austin Chamber of Commerce. He "played a central role in helping Austin, Texas, create tens of thousands of high-tech jobs, and how he's going to help us accomplish the same goal right here in upstate New York," Pataki said.
LOS ANGELES (AP) A Chicago-bound American Airlines MD-80 made an emergency landing Monday at Los Angeles International Airport after it struck a flock of birds during takeoff from San Diego. Flight 1450, carrying 131 passengers and five crew members, landed at 12:32 p.m., said Tom Winfrey, an airport spokesman. The captain had reported possible damage to the plane's nose, said Todd Burke, a spokesman for the Fort Worth, Texas-based airline. After takeoff, the pilot delayed landing in Los Angeles to first burn off fuel, Burke said. MD-80s cannot dump fuel, he added. The jet struck the birds as it took off from San Diego International Airport at 10:04 a.m., Los Angeles International Airport spokeswoman Gaby Pacheco said.
NOVATO, Calif. (AP) The Buzz, Novato High School's student newspaper, has lost its sting. The paper has folded. "What happened is, simply put, there wasn't enough student interest in the journalism program," spokeswoman Dianne Pavia said. "We had less than 10 students sign up for the class. "When I saw there were too few students for the class I thought, 'Oh no, — she said. "It could be perceived incorrectly, but we have to go with what the students' interest is."' The Buzz stirred up a hornet's nest last fall when it published an inflammatory article about illegal immigrants written by a student. The article by senior Andrew Smith spurred a protest by 150 Novato High students and parents. School officials responded by confiscating copies of the newspaper and writing a letter of apology to parents and students. The paper had its triumphs. Seniors Ruth Osorio and Stella Robertson, co-editors of the Buzz, were honored last school year with a James Madison Freedom of Information Award from the Society of Professional Journalists for their fight to get the paper to press.
government in the next general election," said Yukio Hatoyama after winning his third term as president of the Democratic Party of Japan. "The economy is getting worse and worse," he said, vowing to topple Koizumi's ruling Liberal Democratic Party. "Leaving the situation as it is brings about misfortune for the Japanese people." He said his party would do away with relationships the LDP has cultivated between the government, business and the bureaucracy that have long been criticized as cozy. Hatoyama won the race by a narrow margin in a run-off election with Naoto Kan, the party's secretary-general, after none of the original four candidates secured a majority in the first round.
BERLIN (AP) Carl-Eduard von Bismarck, a descendant of the 19th-century "Iron Chancellor" who unified Germany under Prussian domination, lost his bid for a seat in the German parliament, election officials said Monday. Bismarck, the great-great grandson Of Otto von Bismarck, ran in national elections Sunday for the conservative Christian Democrats. His district includes the ancestral chateau outside Hamburg where the 41-year-old runs family businesses, producing cigars and mineral water under the Bismarck name. He was defeated by Social Democrat Thomas Sauer, who received 46.1 percent of the vote to win the seat in a district in the northern state of SchleswigHolstein. Bismarck received 42.3 percent. Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's coalition of Social Democrats and Greens won the election, giving Schroeder a second term in office.
VATICAN CITY (AP) The Vatican committee which handles the process leading to sainthood is expected soon to take an important step in putting Mother Teresa closer to receiving the Roman Catholic church's highest honor. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints will likely declare that the nun who spent her life caring for the outcasts of Calcutta had "heroic virtues," officials close to her case have indicated. Italian news reports have said the declaration could come in a meeting this week. After that,
the approval of a miracle needed for beatification is expected to quickly follow. Last month, the Vatican said that the process for possible sainthood for Mother Teresa is moving ahead well. Sources following the case have indicated that beatification could come next year. After Mother Teresa died in 1997 at 87, Pope John Paul II waived the customary five-year waiting period to start the procedures that can lead to sainthood. Compared to many figures whose sainthood came decades or centuries after death, Mother Teresa's procedures are progressing unusually swiftly. Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a nowinternational order of nuns who devoted themselves to nursing and comforting the destitute. After beatification, the last formal step before sainthood, a second miracle must occur before someone can be declared a saint.
MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) A single-engine plane crashed into the patio of a home in the town of Meoqui in northern Mexico, injuring the pilot, officials said Monday. The small plane lost control after hitting electrical lines and plunged into the patio Sunday, damaging the home and knocking out electrical power for 500 residences in Meoqui, a small town in northern Chihuahua state. The homeowner escaped uninjured. Pilot Javier Rosalio, 19, was reported in stable condition at a hospital.
BEIJING (AP) A former high school student who was found guilty of killing two classmates with rat poison has been executed in eastern China, a court official said Monday. Li Feng, 20, was convicted on murder charges and sentenced to death for putting the poison in breakfast porridge at his school in the city of Jinan in January 2001, said Meng Jianguo, an official at the Jinan Intermediate-Level People's Court. Li was executed Friday after an appeals court upheld his sentence, he said. The defendant poisoned his classmates to avenge a grudge after having been punished for cheating on a test and becoming angry at a schoolmate who allegedly wrote love letters to his girlfriend, Meng said.

CLINTON, Okla. (AP) A new 700-foot tower south of town is bringing a public radio station to western Oklahoma. KCCU/KYCU, licensed to Cameron University, will broadcast classical music and National Public Radio. Besides the tower near Clinton, the station will use towers in Lawton, Ardmore, Altus and Wichita Falls. The 40,000-watt station will be powerful enough to be heard across the western part of the state, officials said. Most of the programming will come by satellite from Lawton, but the new station also will offer local programming. KCCU general manager Mark Norman said the station plans to run public service announcements for civic groups, Southwestern Oklahoma State University events, local community theater productions and regional festivals.

GUYMON, Okla. (AP) A Sand Springs man was arrested after police said he confessed to his cousin that he murdered a man in Elmwood. James Richard Colby Jr. was being held in the Lipscomb County, Texas, jail on a murder complaint. His cousin found the body of the victim, who was not identified, said Kym Koch, spokeswoman for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. Koch said Colby called a friend Friday and said he was going to kill himself. The friend, Koch said, called Colby's cousin, who convinced Colby to meet him in Elmwood. The cousin claimed Colby confessed to a murder as they were driving toward Higgins, Texas, to visit a relative. Colby's cousin left him at the relative's home, then returned to Colby's truck in Elmwood. "That's when he found an unidentified man sitting in the passenger side of the truck, dead from multiple gun shot wounds," Koch said.

The Five Nations Cherokee, Seminole, Creeks, Chickasaws and Choctaws have to get approval from Oklahoma state courts when selling, or leasing land. A bill considered this week by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee would give the secretary of the interior jurisdiction over those transactions, The Daily Oklahoman's Washington bureau reported Monday. Most Indian tribes already deal with the federal government, not state courts, for land sales and leases. Oklahoma tribal leaders say their unique arrangement leads to problems 'n protecting Indian ownership of the lands and has caused a backlog in estate settlements. Leaders from the five tribes urged passage of the bill last week, as did a Bush administration official and an attorney for Gov. Frank Keating.

"The land base of the Five Nations is crucial to the heritage of these tribes," said Aurene M. Martin, deputy assistant secretary for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. "The preservation of the land base is a cornmon goal among the Five Nations and is consistent with the administration's promotion of Indian self- determination and economic selfsufficiency" But a former Cherokee Nation judge said the legislation could wind up hurting Indian land owners and taxpayers. A Tulsa oil and gas operator said the bill would complicate the process for getting mineral leases on the land and delay lease payments to the land owners. The Five Nations were relocated from their home states in the 1830s to what is now Oklahoma. Because the land had a different legal status than other Indian lands, the Five Nations escaped the forced allotments of the 1888 Dawes Act. Martin said the legislation would give the interior secretary exclusive jurisdiction to approve conveyances and leases, to probate wills or determine heirs of deceased Indians and to decide estate actions. The bill would give the secretary the authority to administer certain oil and gas leases. It also would remove the requirement that an heir have at least onehalf tribal blood to inherit restricted land. The House passed the legislation, sponsored by Rep. Wes Watkins, R-Stillwater, in June.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) A smoky fire apparently started by a candle killed a 3-yearold girl in an apartment unit, while her 8-year-old brother was able to escape, firefighters said. No adult was home. The boy, whose name was not released, was treated for smoke inhalation after the Sunday night fire.

OKEMAH, Okla. (AP) Two people were killed Monday morning when the car they were riding in slammed into a parked pickup truck on the shoulder of Interstate 40. The driver and passenger in the Nissan Sentra died at the scene of the crash about 9:15 a.m. near Okemah in Okfuskee County, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said. The driver lost control of the car, first striking the median and then swerving back toward the shoulder of the interstate, troopers said. No one was in the parked truck. The names of the victims were not released, pending notification of their relatives. TULSA, Okla. (AP) Favorable weather and reformulated gasoline helped Oklahoma's two largest cities avoid violations of federal clean air standards this summer, officials said. Air quality monitors in Oklahoma City and Tulsa this summer did not record ozone levels above 0.12 parts per million, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's standard, officials said. Other areas of the country recorded violations, but cooler weather, high winds and cleaner-burning gas reduced groundlevel ozone in the two cities, officials said.
