Construction continues in Edmond by Michael Larson ml@thevistaonline.com Construction may force UCO commuters to deviate from their favorite routes this fall and learn Edmond's geography. According fo Tom Minnick, traffic planner for the city of Edmond, 33rd Street will be expanded to four lanes from Coltrane to Bryant, a project scheduled for completion in winter of 2003. Thirty-third street was closed-off from west of Still Meadow eastward to Coltrane on Aug. 22 so workers could erect a new bridge and prepare the roadbed for four-lane traffic. In six months, that area will be re-opened, and workers will

close off 33rd Street from Bryant to the Still Meadow intersection for the next six months of construction. The project, conceived with pedestrians in mind, will install sidewalks on both sides of 33rd Street and add cross-signals at intersections inside the construction area. Aiming to improve traffic in front of Chisholm Elementary School, the project will cost about $2.6 million, 80 percent of which is derived from federal funds. Twenty percent comes from revenue from the 1996 Capitol Improvement Projects sales tax, which goes to pay engineers and utility companies to relocate underground gas lines. According to the City of

Edmond official website, another project, which began last spring, will widen 15th St. from Santa Fe to Fretz in order to include left-turn lanes and a center median, which will house a landscape of over 200 trees and 4,000 shrubs. It is scheduled for completion in spring 2003. Danforth is being widened, just west of its intersection with Santa Fe, and should blaze four lanes across the Edmond border. North of the intersection, Santa Fe will expand to four lanes, lightening traffic for Santa Fe Church-goers. Both projects were scheduled to finish late this summer, but Minnick said there have been some hold-ups. "The contractor ran in to some problems and it's not

going to be ready on schedule," he said. The contractor, Crapth Renolds, failed to meet Edmond's standards for quality, and is trying to meet those requirements, Minnick said. Other construction in the Edmond this fall includes installation of new traffic signals, pedestrian signals, and wheelchair ramps at Ayers and Broadway and Edwards and Broadway. At Second Street and Littler, workers will replace aging poles and equipment and re-stripe the road. All three of these projects should take a few months, according to Minnick, and be mostly street-side affairs. The Broadway Extension, a heavily trafficked stretch of

highway used by many people traveling from Edmond to Oklahoma City, has been under construction since early 1999. Construction has narrowed the strip of highway, which extends from N.W.63rd to Memorial Road, two lanes each way and often creates lengthy detours. A spokesman for the Oklahoma Department of Transportation said the area surrounding Wilshire will be finished in November, and only one more major construction project will remain before the road is complete. When it is finished, the Broadway Extension will be four lanes northbound and three lanes southbound.

President Bush addresses group at fundraiser in Oklahoma City Aug. 29.

President visits Oklahoma City by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline.com

President Bush told listeners attending a Republican fundraiser in Oklahoma the world would be safer once those wanting to harm Americans have been brought to justice. "My most important job now is to defend innocent life in America," said the commanderin-chief. Bush made his remarks Aug. 29 during the invitation-only fundraiser in Oklahoma City for Steve Largent and Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa. But his spoken words were related to the events transpiring in the Middle East. The United States-led military campaign against Osama bin Laden and the al-Qaida terrorist network continues along

parts of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region. "There's no cave deep enough or dark enough to hide," said Bush, alluding indirectly to the war being waged against the terrorist network." "No matter how long it takes, one by one we're going to hunt them down and bring them to j ustice." Bush didn't mention Iraqi President Saddam Hussein by name. But the president did say he believed that if the U.S. attacks Iraq, there would eventually be some support from other countries. And, once again, Bush cited the importance of being patient with Iraq. "By being tough and strong, patient, smart and wise about using our assets and all the tools at our disposal, we can make the world more peaceful for genera-

tions to come by fighting terror where we find it, by rallying people to join us," Bush said. However, the president said the world's leaders "must not the world's worst leaders to develop and harbor the world's worst weapons." More than 500 Republican loyalists assembled in the Cox Convention Center to support the Largent for governor campaign and Sen. Inhofe's re-elecdon campaign. Bush drew applause when he said, "I'm glad to be here with `Governor' Largent." A single luncheon ticket was $1,000. Two went for $5,000. It was a whirlwind stop for the president in Oklahoma City. He arrived at Tinker Air Force Base about 10:20 a.m. and was on his way back to the base by about 12:30 p.m.

Ceremony to mark Sept. 11 The University of Central Oklahoma will mark the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and remember the victims by holding a brief ceremony for the entire campus and surrounding community at 9 a.m. Sept. 11 on UCO's Evans Field. During the ceremony, the UCO trumpet choir will per-

form under the direction of James Klages. In addition, UCO President W. Roger Webb, Edmond Mayor Saundra Naifeh,and. UCO Student Association President J.P. Jordan will speak. Following the ceremony, students will be invited to participate in a service project, which will consist of visiting a number

of Edmond fire departments to prepare a meal for firefighters. There will also be a "Remembrance Banner" that all are welcome to sign in UCO's Nigh University Center. UCO's Y Chapel will be open during the day for the public to visit and reflect, as well. More than 2,800 people were killed in the terrorist attacks.

Installing a new alcohol policy, having classes canceled during finals week and getting students out to vote in November are on the agenda of the new UCO Student Association Speaker of the House, Jake Winkler. Without a challenger and without debate, Winkler was elected Aug. 27 during the UCOSA House meeting. , "I cannot think of a better choice than Mr. Winkler for Speaker of the House," said J.P. Jordan, UCOSA president. "Jake is the kind of guy who will be able to get things done. He's very approachable and he's not self-serving. Those are great characteristics to have in a Speaker of the House." For example, during last year's election, Winkler withdrew his name from contention, feeling his opponent was more qualified for the job, Jordan said. Winkler also offered his support to the other candidate at the time, Jordan said. Winkler said he has held numerous leadership roles in his fraternity. He has been treasurer, fundraiser chair and served on the executive council and rush committee. For the past two semesters, Winkler had been a House representative. He said he helped with getting incoming representatives on campus and worked toward improving university-student communication over the summer. Having a new alcohol policy in place and getting classes canceled during finals week are pieces of legislation the House considered but did not pass last year, Winkler said. This year, he said he hopes the House will pass them. UCO's current alcohol policy strictly prohibits the possession, use or distribution of alcohol by students or employees in any building or anywhere on the campus. Winkler said in the present university policy, a gathering of three or more students is considered a student organization. The "third party vendor bill" would allow a student organization, after gaining university permission, to sell

Photography students shoot England for credit. Jake Winkler alcohol during off-campus events to students more than 21 years of age, Winkler said. The campus would still be dry. Last year, both the UCOSA House and Senate passed the "third party vendor bill," which was not signed by the former president, Winkler said. The legislation's aim is to reduce UCO's liability and make student organizations responsible, Winkler said. Canceling classes during dead week is "something every big university does, that I would really like to see done here, to help students with their grades," Winkler said. Currently, UCO has classes during finals week. Winkler said with the elections coming up in November he hopes the university will focus on Rock the Vote, a national campaign, initially started by MTV, aimed at increasing the number of students that vote. "You've got to exercise that right," Winkler said. Winkler said he also wants to improve communication between UCOSA and students. Many students aren't aware of who their UCOSA representative is, Winkler said. "What I'm wanting to do is get our name out there a lot more and let them communicate problems they have with this campus with us," Winkler said. In other business, UCOSA disclosed its recent expenditures. The organization paid $107.50 for a reusable UCOSA banner and $283.50 for two advertisements published in The Vista. There also was a $2,000 appropriation for business needs in the UCOSA coffee center.

ampus Quotes What changes have you made in your life since September 11?

In case you haven't heard, President Bush made a short stop in Oklahoma Aug. 29 to support the Republican candidates, hoping to drum up donations and votes. Why weren't you invited, you asked? Well, of course you were. If you had about $1000 to spend on a meal or if you could spare $5000, you could even take a date with you. You could've been there mingling with all the city socialites and politicians, listening to our President talk politics. Isn't it too bad you missed that wonderful opportunity? We've known for awhile that politicians spend a lot of money to earn our votes, and a lot of us have willingly given money to our choice of candidates because we believe they might actually do some good if elected. But what happens if they don't deliver when they are in office?

The people who donate to candidate funds should get receipts after their contribution. On those receipt should be a list of the things the candidates promised to improve or accomplish if they were elected. Better yet, the candidates should put their signature on the receipts, as well as a lean on their personal swimming pools and set of snow skis. This way, the contributors could get their money back if the elected politicians end up not keeping their promises. There seems to be little consequence for politicians who don't deliver, or only deliver to the big men with big briefcases and big wallets. We don't let the people at McDonald's get away with serving us lunch and forgetting to add French fires, so next time a candidate takes office and forgets to push your issues, let him know how you feel, and demand a reciept!

From Dust to Diamonds ■ For $4,000 a Chicago based company turns ashes of loved ones into diamonds. by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline.com For $4,000 you can now spend eternity on a loved one's ring finger. That's how much it costs for Lifegem Memorials, a Chicago company, to turn cremated ashes into a .25 carat diamond, said Mark Bouffard, company spokesman. "For 2,000 years, we've basically been limited to two choices: one, be buried; two, be cremated," Bouffard said. A Lifegem Memorials diamond, he said, is "probably the most unique, most personal memorial you can be offered." One of Lifegem's four co-founders felt that traditional urns and cemetery plots don't inspire comparable discussions about the dearly departed, Bouffard said. The co-founder didn't like the thought of being forgotten. Apparently, many consumers are buying into that sentiment. Since the Chicago Tribune ran a front page article about Lifegem on Aug. 21, the company's website (www.mylifegem.com ) has been receiving about 20,000 hits each day, Bouffard said. And Lifegem has received calls from around the world, he said. Beginning in the 1950s, companies began making diamonds for industrial purposes. A diamond is the hardest known substance. Over millions of years, natural geographical forces — a process involving extreme heat and intense pressure — cause carbon to condense into a diamond. Each human cell consists of hydrogen (60%), oxygen (25%), nitrogen (5%) and carbon (12%). Using its patented technology, Lifegem purifies the ashes in a furnace and mimics nature, taking 16 weeks instead of millions of years to create a diamond, Bouffard said. In the United States, the percentage of people choosing cremation over other forms of burial is 26%, Bouffard said, citing Cremation Association of America statistics. In Arkansas, the 1998 statistic was 12%, Bouffard said. By 2010, the number of Arkansans choosing cremation will more than double to 25%. Dr. Kenneth Curl, a professor in UCO's Funeral Science Department, said cremation has only been a part of American culture for about 50 years. Cremation is much more common in Europe and in Japan where it has existed for thousands of years, Curl said. In the United States, cremation is most popular on the East and West coasts, Curl said. In Oklahoma, the cremation rate is about 16 percent. In the 1970s, there was one crematory in the state. Now, there are about 12 crematories, he said. "Cremation is just another form of doing something with the body [after death]," said Curl.

Diamonds are made from ashes. "They can still have a regular funeral service with a body in the casket, still have a visitation for out of town guests and then do the cremation." Over a two-hour period in a furnace, 3,000-4,000-degree heat reduces human remains to ash and small bone fragments, said Curl. At a crematory, the bone fragments are pulverized into a substance resembling volcanic ash. Lifegem can make diamonds from .25 carat to 1.25 carats out of a thimbleful of cremated ash, Bouffard said. Cost for a .25 carat diamond is $4,000. A 1.25 carat diamond would run $22,000, he said. Bouffard said the largest Lifegem diamonds compare in quality to 1 carat blue diamonds, worth $150,000. "Unless you're a highly-trained gemologist, you wouldn't know the difference," Bouffard said. An independent New York company, European Gemological Laboratory, certifies the diamonds, he said. Humans aren't the only lifeforms which will have their remains made into a Lifegem diamond. Bouffard said several pet-owners have made deposits with the company. An elderly woman has also made her last wishes known, he said. Callers have been inquiring about ashes they've kept in urns, Bouffard said. Lifegem can test the carbon content in ashes that have been around for up to 15 years, he said. Beyond that the samples would likely not be viable. Curl said many older parents have already identified or purchased a burial plot. Many of their offspring have not. For some, religion is an important factor in choosing whether or not to be cremated, Curl said. Movies and the mass media are helping to make cremation more popular in the U.S., he said. Cremation costs a little less than a regular funeral and is environmentally friendly, he said. "I think we will have more scattering of ashes — on Mount Hood, over their favorite football stadium — because it really is environmentally clean," Curl said. Which means the University of Oklahoma's Memorial Stadium might become more than just a shrine for Sooner football fanatics. And no one will know if a fan is wearing a natural diamond or a Lifegem Memorials diamond.

Rock the Vote features artists, candidates by Summer Pratt sp@thevistaonline.corn

website encourages young people to, "Get informed, get educated and watch your world." The first "Rock the Vote," campaign was, "Censorship is UnAmerican," and was in response to perceived attacks on the first amendment. Fry said the event is free and open to the public. Food will be provided by the College Republicans.

"Rock the Vote" is coming to the UCO campus at noon Sept. 5 on the south lawn of the Hamilton Field House. Students can listen to live music, meet political candidates and register to vote. According to Blake Fry, director of Campus Life the event will feature nationally known singer/songwriter, Lisa Loeb and two local bands, Spider Douglas and Hurricane Jane. After each band performs, a political speaker will give a brief speech, encouraging students to be politically active, Fry said. Hurricane Jane, an Oklahoma City based band, will start playing at Noon. At 12:40 p.m David Walters, candidate for U.S. Senate, will speak. Spider Douglas, a band made up of UCO alumni and students, will play at 1 p.m. At 1:40 p.m. gubernatorial candidates, Gary Richardson and Brad Henry will speak. Loeb is set to take the stage at 2 p.m. Fry said Loeb was selected because she was an artist actively involved with "Rock the Vote." Voter registration tables will be set up at the event and area politicians will have information tables. Fry said UCOSA officers came up with the idea of having an activity to encourage students to vote. The officers then worked with the State Regents to bring "Rock the Vote" to UCO. "Rock the Vote" began in 1990 and was founded by members of the recording industry. The "Rock the Vote" THE WESLEY

Art, love and life explains 50-year affair 4., .:1

by Kristen Armstrong

many memories, yet she continually returns to one topic. Art. "Everybody has some art. It is in the way you dress, the way you style your hair, or the colors you choose for anything. Everything expresses your personality. You're artistic," she says passionately. If art and color show personality, then she is a dichotomy. She wears a bright, flamboyant pink or crispy silky white blouse, contrasted with a sedate black skirt. Black pumps are the status quo. Her hair is a fluffy cloud of white, pulled back from her face it would not do to burn loose hair away with the soldering torch. She wears earrings of roughhewn turquoise pieces falling gracefully or silver bulbs swaying gently from her ears. Bright blue eyes dance behind silver frames. An easy smile compliments. the dance. Her skin is careworn. Wrinkles and crags mar its the softness. They tell the story of the life she has lived, a life of art and teaching. Kathryn Kunc began her love affair with art in childhood. Even in her early schooling, it was a central subject in the curriculum. "I was lucky; we had art in all the grades," she says. The art facilities available then, however, were quite different from the ones today. "There were two art classrooms on the fourth floor of Old North Tower," she says. Kunc stayed with UCO throughout the changes to its

athryn Kerr Kunc. A small concrete plaque beside a bench outside the Art Building chronicles the years she has spent at UCO. With bronze brevity, it lists the years that she spent behind a desk (1928-1942); then the years spent in front of the classroom (1952-1986). Kunc has been a part of UCO since the first day she set foot in her kindergarten classroom - in 1928. She could tell endless stories of the days when Boulevard was a one-lane dirt road. She remembers when the present-day Art Building was the Student Union, with an outdoor patio and coffee shop. And, apparently art class is where to find love. "A lot of love affairs started in my class," she says wistfully. A few minutes talking to Kathryn Kunc brings to light so

name and philosophy over the years to become one of the 300 graduates of Central State College in 1942. Her degree was a BA in home economics and art. After a short sabbatical from her long stint in Edmond, Kunc returned to UCO in 1952. Armed with encouragement she received from a professor and a masters degree in art from OU, Kunc began 34 years of teaching. When she began teaching, her classes were held in the Industrial Arts Building, and had 50 to 60 students, she said. In her 34-year run as full-time faculty, Kunc taught every art course available - except ceramics. "That was not my forte," she says decidedly, tapping the concrete desk to drive home the point. She served as chair of the Art Department for several years, but she liked teaching better. And she is still teaching, though she officially retired in 1986. For Kunc, teaching is a learning experience. "All your students impact you in different ways. You learn something from them everyday." Jewelry making is the only class she teaches now, but that does not mean she takes her responsibilities lightly. Every Monday and Wednesday night at 5 p.m., the petite 81-year-old sits behind her concrete desk preparing for the evening's lesson. At 5:45 p.m. she is in Room 119 of the Art Building wielding soldering torches, banging hammers, slicing with saws and encouraging her students to reach into their creativity to see what can happen. As students begin to arrive, she stands, adjusts her blue, pink,

and yellow-splashed smock, and makes her way to them. She is familiar with each project, so questions, encouragement, and general small talk are exchanged between them. There is no tension as they interact. Her genuine concern and desire to help, as well as her whisper of a voice, seem to pull the students nearer. The beginning students are using the soldering torches for the second time. One by one, they make their way to the side wall that holds the tanks of gas and the torches. Each one, seemingly reticent to actually light the torch, takes time to look around and make sure they are not the only one having trouble. Kunc looks around and says, "Have you all soldered before?" "No!" cries one student loudly. "Then I will hold your hand and help you," she says, laughing, as if it is s,( only natural a woman of her age would be showing a 20-year-old man how to solder. r. With capable, steady hand, 'she grasps the torch and, without a sound, begins to slowly solder one , student's metal artwork. She gently sweeps the bluehearted flame over the metal creation, back and forth. if A dragonfly is born. "She's the coolest old lady ever," said the student, pointing at Kunc. As the rest begin to work, she inspects and instructs them indi-

vidually. Admonitions like "You have to hear the `shhh' or it's not hot enough''; , "If the metal's not touching it won't w solder"; and "Don't burn the hose with the torch, or we'll all be blown to China!" are sprinkled throughout the room. Her criticism is tempered with praise. When finished products are presented, her eyes first light with excitement. Then she delicately holds the work, examining the minute detailing and offering more suggestions for improvement. "Some steel wool would get that pinky color off the metal," she says.

"It makes you more educated and brings home history" Friar said many students leave Oklahoma thinking it's the center of the universe, and then realize it is just a spec on the map while they're in Europe. "The students see things more clearly," he said. Bret Marler, senior business major, said as soon as he found out about the tour of Europe, he knew he had to find a way to go. "I always wanted to go to England and I thought it was a

good, inexpensive way to go," Marler said.

"At 5 p.m. everything shuts down in England and everyone either goes home, to the pub or to the park," he said. He said very few places have air-conditioning in England. "I only had air-conditioning one time — on the bus to London from Bath," he said. Marler said he plans to return to Europe and stay in France after he graduates in May. Anne Schlesselman, senior general journalism major„ said, "My favorite site was Wales, it was real quaint and there was a lot of good shopping." Schlesselman said one of the most memorable parts of the trip happened while visiting France. "Our travel agent put us about two blocks from the red light district.

''That was a little discouraging," Schlesselman said. In England more people take advantage of their free time, she said. "So many people hang out at the park. I wondered, when do these people work?" she said. Schlesselman said the total cost of the trip was about $5,500, but that it was well worth it. "There's no boundaries to what you can learn," she said. Marler and Schlesselman both encouraged everyone to visit Europe.

STATE BRIEFS OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) A struggling state economy and more layoffs are increasing enrollment at several campuses around the state as some of the jobless return for more training. That means many of Oklahoma's colleges and universities are handling more students with less state funding and the possibility of even more cuts in the near future. The news is not all bad, however, as tuition paid during the enrollment surge is about $10 million more than offi,

cials expected. Harve Allen, a spokesman for the state Regents of Higher Education, said just under $30 million in tuition had been paid as of Friday. Oklahoma City Community College reports an increase of about 700 students. Oklahoma State University's campus in Oklahoma City says it's enrollment is up about 15 percent. The University of Oklahoma has said this year could be the first time its enrollment passes 30,000. The average increase among the state's 25 higher

education schools is 5 to 7 percent. "This is all wonderful, but I am afraid that some time we will reach the point where we can't add any more students," said Jerry Carroll, president of OSUOldahoma City. More pressure could come in the next few weeks when August tax collections are determined. State revenues for July came in 13.5 percent below expected. Hans Brisch, state chancellor for higher education, gave university presidents until Friday to come up with ways they would cut their budgets by 3.8 percent and 5 percent. Administrators, however, have to balance that with providing for more students. One way is to hire more adjunct professors who work for less than full-time professors. Oklahoma City Community College has hired 40 more this semester than it hired in fall 2001. Higher regents say more than 60 percent of the professors at community colleges are working as adjuncts.

BRIEFS National YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) A Texas man is recovering after a bear bit him while he was sleeping in a tent at a backcountry campsite in Yellowstone National Park. Mike Barbic of Plano, Texas was awakened Friday night by a bear biting him through the tent. Barbic screamed and the bear ran off. Barbic stayed still for about an hour, then put his partially collapsed tent back up and spent the remainder of the night there. At one point during the night he said he heard scratching noises near the tree where he had hung his food. At daybreak, Barbic packed up his camp and hiked to the Glen Creek Trailhead where his vehicle was parked. He drove to Mammoth Hot Springs and reported the incident to park

rangers. He had a puncture wound and a one-inch laceration to his buttocks. He was treated and released from the Mammoth Hot Springs Clinic. Park officials say visitors hiking or camping in Yellowstone National Park should be aware than an unusually high number of bears may be seen in lower elevations because of a lack of normal food sources for this time of year.

SEATTLE (AP) The University of Washington, searching for ways to raise revenue while lawmakers cut funding, wants to make it tougher for out-of-state students to become eligible for instate tuition. UW President Richard McCormick says Washington's residency policy is more lax than in other states. Students can declare residency by getting a Washington driver's license, registering to vote

and proving they are financially independent from their parents. A record 22 percent of last year's freshmen were out-ofstate students. And administrators are considering enrolling significantly more nonresidents next year. About half of out-of-state students declare residency during their undergraduate study, UW admissions officers report. Once they are residents, they pay less than a third of the $15,337 out-of-state tuition and mandatory fees they once did. Administrators are pushing to make the state residency requirement among the toughest in the country and plan to lobby other state universities this fall for support. Any change in the residency law would affect all state-funded institutions of higher education, including community colleges. "When they come from other states, that is the status they are coming at and should expect to stay at,"' said Tim Washburn, the UW's executive director of admissions and records. McCormick has assigned some of his top staffers and university attorneys to study the issue. While students here can declare residency in as little as one year, Virginia and North Carolina requirements are so strict that most out-of-state students there remain at that status throughout their undergraduate careers. The UW wants to be just as strict. Its first option is to request that the Washington State Higher Education Coordinating Board (HECB) change the Washington

Administrative Code. The university itself also could push for a change in the law. It believes it has strong support in Olympia, especially since some lawmakers have complained that taxpayers are subsidizing the education of out-of-state students. University admissions officials have already mailed letters to incoming freshmen from other states warning that it likely will be difficult for them to change their residency status. Washburn said just because a student from another state obtains a Washington driver's license and registers to vote, "that doesn't really change your domicile." The change caused an uproar at Utah State University in Logan, which is about 30 miles from the Idaho border. Out-of-state tuition of $7,200 annually is three times higher than in-state tuition. Several programs already have lost many students, including the university's nutrition program, where 30 out-ofstate students have left. "What they are saying is that they came here under the assumption that they could be residents in one year and having to double that time is a major factor to not come," said Utah State University spokesman John DeVilbiss. The state 'didn't grandfather in the existing students and that has created a real problem for us."

The New York firefighters stand in the same order they appeared in the first photograph: George Johnson on the left, Dan McWilliams in the middle and Bill Eisengrein on the right. The new photo, a joint project of The Record of Hackensack and Newsweek, appeared Monday on the newspaper's front page and the magazine's cover. Both ran the original photo last fall. "Tom Franklin shot a historic photo that became a historic cover for Newsweek," said Mark Whitaker, the magazine's editor. The magazine said Franklin's latest image of the firefighters "is, like the first picture, a metaphor for a country that's also unbowed." Franklin shot the original photo shortly after 5 p.m. on Sept. 11. It's among the most enduring images of the day, and was later nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and used on a postage stamp.

CALCUTTA, India Angry parents protested at a hospital in eastern India on Monday, alleging that at least 13 children died over the weekend due to the absence of doctors and the unavailability of

oxygen. Parents said the deaths occurred since Saturday at the government-run B.C. Roy Memorial Child Hospital in Calcutta, capital of the West Bengal state. The state's Health Minister, Pratyush Mukherjee, acknowledged at least eight to 10 children aged between 1 and 4 died at the hospital, but did not comment on the reasons. "The cause of death is under investigation," he told reporters. But family members of the children accused the authorities of criminal negligence, saying despite the patients' serious condition, no doctor was available and oxygen was in short supply. Mukherjee ordered an inquiry by the state's health director. However, he denied that the hospital was understaffed. Hospital Superintendent R. Mondal said six children had died, and downplayed the number of casualties. "It is not quite unusual since the patients come to the hospital at a very critical stage" Mondal said.

Student organization offers free English classes Classes are Monday and Wednesdays at the Baptist Student Union by Timber Massey tm@thevistaonline.com Baptist Collegiate Ministries at the Baptist Student Union will be offering free conversational English and American culture classes beginning Aug. 26, said UCO speech pathology graduate Holly Irwin. According to Irwin, the classes will be offered on Mondays at 3 p.m., Thursdays at 6:30 p.m., and Fridays at 2:30 p.m. until Nov. 25. Katrina Neuhardt, from the Baptist General Convention, will assist Irwin in teaching the

classes, said Irwin.

"We also have several American students who have been trained in seminars that volunteer to teach," said Irwin. "Last year was our kick off year and we averaged about 30 students. This year we are expecting to have a much larger turnout since the word has gotten out." Irwin said that in addition to tutoring International students in English they also help them adjust to American culture. She said the culture classes consist of everything from managing a checking account to what to do if your sink backs up. "We have seen a lot

International students who become exhausted from the culture shock they experience," Irwin said. "It helps the students to be able to sit down and talk about the things that were exciting or disappointing about America." Irwin said that many International students want to make friends with Americans but they often find it intimidating because they have a hard time communicating with them. She said the classes will help them build more confidence with their English skills. For more information, call Irwin at 341-1232.

Women hitters split season opening invitational by Kelley Chambers kc@thevistaonline.com The women's volleyball team got off to a shaky start last weekend but quickly rebounded with a fury by dominating two teams in eight games notably defeating No. 4 ranked Tampa, described by head Coach Mark Herrin as, "one of the best teams in the country." The team officially opened the season at the North Florida invitational in Jacksonville only to drop the first two games on Friday to Fort Hays State and North Florida. Down but not out, they came back on Saturday and vindicated the losses by defeating Tampa in five games which Coach Herrin said was definitely validation for the previous day's losses. In all, the team came out 22 for the tournament also defeating Southwest State to finish things up. "Anytime you're kicking off the season there are a lot of unanswered questions," Herrin said, "we spent the first two matches answering those questions." Herrin said that the team was just getting used to the lineup, which included freshman outside hitter Kim Morgal. "Once she got over the freshman jitters she played great," he said. Returning starters Alma Brahimaj, Lexy Fortner and Tori Walker again worked their magic on the court in what Herrin described as a very tough tournament. "Every match was against a ranked opponent" Herrin said, we were able to compete with some of the best teams in the country." The win over Tampa was a huge upset that gave Central Oklahoma confidence for the remainder of the tournament. After that win there was no stopping them as the Bronchos "

went on to sweep Southwest State in three games. Against Tampa Brahimaj racked up a match high with 26 kills and hit .322. Former had 17 kills, 19 digs and finished .395 in the five games and Walker had a total of 14 kills and hit .321 against the Spartans. In the sweep against Southwest State Brahimaj led the team with 17 kills. Fortner had nine kills and 19 digs. Other players who made considerable contributions to the sweep were senior Katy Wallace with seven kills and three blocks and junior Stacey Meek had 43 assists. Meek added 40 digs and four assisted blocks to aid the Bronchos 2-2 record but highlighted the matches with her skill as a setter. Meek totaled 188 assists, averaging 11.75 a game, in four matches to be named the Lone Star Conference North Division Setter of the Week. Against Tampa the team finished 30-26, 27-30, 30-22, 2430 and 15-12. Then they put Southwest State away with an amazing 3025, 30-26, and 30-23 to come out victorious. Herrin said that all the girls played well and he was very proud of his new and returning players who dropped a pair of games only to come back as a team and dominate two very tough teams. Prior to the tournament the girls had only played an intrasquad series at UCO on August 24th. The tournament was the first time that some of the girls had seen any action on the court and was the first opportunity for the assembled team to face a real opponent and see just how well they worked together under pressure. "We had a lineup we could really build with," Herrin said,

crediting his returning stars, new recruits and future standouts. The team plays their first home game on September 6th hosting the Sleep Inn invitational. Herrin has great confidence in his team as they hit the home court where they have been extremely successful over the past years. The team boasts ten straight winning seasons, two championships and numerous accolades and honors from the Lone Star Conference. Some tough games are ahead but the team is ready to face their foes and make short work of adversaries just as they proved they could in Florida. Herrin said that he does not want to look too far ahead but that he anticipates another fantastic season from his returning Lone Star Conference North Division Champs who went 26-8 last year. On September 17th the team will travel to Lawton to face Cameron in what Herrin said would be a marquee match. Cameron is just one of five LSC North Division teams that the Bronchos will face this season. Then team will play 11 regular season home games and play their final home game versus Cameron on November 5th at the Hamilton Fieldhouse. November 9th will mark the end of the regular season against Midwestern State in Wichita Falls, Texas. The Lone Star Conference Tournament will run from November 14-16 at a location yet to be announce. This season is yet another chance for women hitters to show the world once again just how great volleyball is at UCO and hopefully capture the prestigious title for the second year in a row.

Fieldhouse namesake passes on, leaves more than a name by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com Dale Hamilton, who spent 44 years at the University of Central Oklahoma as athlete, coach and athletic director, died Sunday evening at a local hospital after a brief illness. He was 93. Hamilton is the namesake of UCO's Hamilton Field House on campus, where basketball and wrestling is held. "We thought of him as a coach, teacher and friend," said UCO athletic director Skip Wagnon. "He fit all three roles very well." Hamilton was a star athlete at UCO earning 12 varsity letters, lettering four straight years in football, basketball and track. He was also an AllConference offensive lineman in 1932 for the Bronchos. After Hamilton graduated from UCO in 1933, he had brief coaching experiments at Ponca City, Bristow and Cushing before returning to UCO as head coach of both the basketball and track programs in 1937.

Freshmen step up to help Bronchos to victory by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com Opening weekend of the 2002 women's soccer campaign was much more of last year's season with a new little twist. Kim Brown scores goals and the Broncho's win games. The only new part of this formula is the new freshman made their own contribution. Kim Brown scored from close range in the second overtime to lift youthful Central Oklahoma to a season-opening 1-0 victory over Southern Colorado on, August 30. The Bronchos, with 12 freshmen on their 25-player roster, avenged last year's 2-1 home loss to the Thunderwolves with the victo-

game-winning shot. It was the 72nd career goal for Brown, a three-time first-

team All-Lone Star Conference performer and last year's LSC Offensive Player of the Year

rY. "We played a lot better than I thought we would on the road with such a young team," UCO coach Mike Cook said. "Southern Colorado has a pretty good team and we got great effort up and down our lineup." The two teams played 90 minutes and an overtime without putting anything on the scoreboard before Brown finally ended the game early in the second overtime. Freshman forward Correy Caberera passed to junior midfielder Valerie Gutierrez, who found Brown open for the

after scoring 34 goals. Junior goalkeeper Melissa Penn was the key to the victory on the defensive side stopping every shot that came close. On Sept. 1 the Bronchos won again, but this time it was the newcomers making the difference in the 2-0 win over New Mexico Highlands to complete a successful seasonopening road trip. The Bronchos got goals from two freshmen and had a rookie goalkeeper in Sunday's victory. "We had some freshmen step up and we're going to need them to continue to do well. Anytime you can go on the road and get two wins you've got to feel good and we can build on this," said Cook. Lily Defee scored her first college goal off an assist from fellow freshman Joy Hagemann and then Crystal Sanchez scored on a penalty kick to give the Bronchos a 2-0 advantage. Freshman goalkeeper Kristina Moore, did the rest of the work, getting the shutout working the entire 90 minutes in the net in her first action of the season. The Bronchos return home to host the IHOP Invitational this weekend, meeting Southern Nazarene at 3 p.m. Sept.6 in the home opener.

Changes ahead for a pedestrian friendly campus The blue posts are highly visible, non-intrusive and should not interfere with pedestrian traffic, said Mark Rodolf, assistant director of UCO's Physical Plant. Maintenance, vending and contractor vehicles will service most campus buildings via reserved spaces in parking .lots, loading docks and by using routes other than the campus' wide walkways. This effort will require a small increase in reserved parking spaces for these vehicles. Some vehicles, however, will continue to utilize the large sidewalks to reach buildings that are located internally to the campus and that have no adjacent

The University of Central Oklahoma will soon acquire a new look in an effort to enhance the safety of students, faculty and staff and to become a more pedestrian friendly campus. Blue plastic posts will be placed at strategic locations on major sidewalks to restrict vehicular traffic, which will reduce competition between vehicles and pedestrians. The sidewalks were originally built wide throughout UCO to accommodate its many students and to withstand the weight and width of emergency vehicles. However, some motorists mistakenly use the walkways as streets.

parking lots or loading docks. In addition, large decorative landscape planters will be placed on some sidewalks to stop vehicular traffic past designated points. These measures are primarily to protect the sidewalks that were not designed to support vehicular traffic. Adjustments for vehicle access using the walkways will be made as situations dictate, such as snow and ice removal functions, major building renovations and for other circumstances that may arise. Questions or suggestions for changes should be directed to Rodolf at (405) 974- 5929.

UCO students wishing to Fulbright apply for the Scholarship should turn in their applications by October 21, said Dr. Siegfried Heit, Fulbright advisor. The Fulbright Scholarship provides students with a bachelor's degree the opportunity to study abroad for one year. During their time overseas, students can conduct research, teach and study. Applicants must be US citizens. Students who were educated mainly in the United States,

have not previously studied in a foreign country, and have sufficient language skills to interact within the country of choice are given preference. Heit stresses for students to apply. He said that students who leave home and journey overseas gain a new perspective about the "global village." "What occurs in Uganda, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan...it affects us all. American students should have the opportunity to view the world." The late Senator J. William Fulbright, for whom the scholarship was named, said, "The

essence of intellectual education is the acquisition of empathy the ability to see the world as others see it, and to allow for the possibility that others may see something that we have failed to see." Dr. Amy Carrell, Fulbright advisor and director of graduate studies in English, said, "there is a difference between getting a degree and getting an education." "Students who apply for the Fulbright are broadening their education, not just getting a degree." Heit said he finds it sad that so few UCO students apply.
