Diseased trees to come down ■ A fungal infection brought down one of the oldest trees on campus.

A diseased hackberry tree between Old North and Evans Hall collapsed last weekend. No one was injured in the fall.

A large part of a hackberry tree between Evans Hall and Old North collapsed last weekend due to disease and high winds.

Carrie Tomlinson, urban tree forester for Edmond, said she analyzed the tree Sept. 10.

"It was amazing because I looked at it Friday and said you got to get this tree out," she said.

She said she determined that afternoon that the tree should come down. Connie Gull, who is responsible for the maintenance of campus grounds, alerted UCO administration of the urgency in bringing the tree down.

Tomlinson said, had the tree

not fallen, it probably would have been removed Sept. 13.

"One major limb came down and blocked the whole sidewalk. We are very fortunate no one was injured," Tomlinson said.

"It was very old and, unfortunately, it's been distressed for several years," said David Stapleton, director of Architectural and Engineering Services for UCO. "The foresters were right and the next weekend a large branch fell of the tree, luckily no one was hurt."

Tomlinson said Ganoderma, a fungal infection, and age caused the tree's collapse.

"This is a nationally occurring disease that attacks trees that are older or struggling," she said.

The weekend's winds created stress on the branch and caused it to fall.

"It kind of self destructed.

It's very sad because it was a historical tree. There are pictures of the tree from the beginning days of campus."

Tomlinson said Gall will save her a piece from the trunk of the tree. By counting the tree's rings she said she hopes to determine the tree's exact age.

"Some time ago, there were several of these trees, and we will plant a new tree when this one is ultimately removed," said Charlie Johnson, director of the University Relations News Bureau.

"When they start getting aged and diseased like that, it's just dangerous," Johnson said.

CAMPUS ANNOUNCEMENTS

by Vista Staff The UCO Journalism Department will host the second "Educators Seminar on Teaching about Trauma" Sept. 17-18 conducted by the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Twenty-eight college, university and high school journalism teachers and media advisers from around the country will study effective ways to train students about emotional injury and ways to cope with it in news work.

"To do their work, journalists must get closer to violence and its victims," said Roger Simpson, executive director of the Dart Center and moderator of the seminar. "Educators have a responsibility to prepare students for the reality that they, too, may suffer trauma in doing their work."

The seminar is funded by a grant from the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation of Oklahoma

City and will be conducted on the UCO campus. Attendees will view the UCO Journalism Department's nationally unique "Victims and the Media" class taught by Dr. Kole Kleeman, and they will visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial.

Educators will represent schools and universities in Oklahoma, Alabama, Utah, California, Indiana, Texas, Nebraska, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Arizona, Minnesota, New Mexico, Louisiana and Kansas.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Intriguing statistics provided

by UCO's International Office suggest that our academic community can lose numerous important members in the future. The number of international students at UCO is drastically and steadily decreasing. It is impossible for many students from countries with lower standards of living than the U.S. to afford an academic experience at our University.

The decline in international representation on campus must be a signal for all of us, the people concerned with the bright future of our University's cultural diversity. It behooves us, the people familiar with UCO, to consider the problem and to pursue a solution.

Today, I have a dream that our University will continue to be an oasis of multicultural interaction and enrichment whose enlightening waters will not be drained by the unbearable burden of the progressively increasing tuition. Thus, today, I bring to the table at UCO Project "I Have a Dream International."

The project's goal is to encourage international students to get actively involved not only on campus but also in the community around it, giving them the opportunity to relieve their financial hardships through more relaxed employment laws.

The August 23rd edition of the Vista also announced, "Now students will be allowed to work up to 39 hours a week."

Unfortunately, the article fails to mention that international students will actually not benefit from that new policy due to federal regulations.

Yet, today, I have a dream that such an obsolete stereotype in the modern world of dynamic and rapidly expanding economy and globalization will be reconsidered and amended.

Only through the revision of federal regulations can UCO regain the interest of students from all over the world who will add a global perspective to the local community and prepare it for a life in an increasingly interdependent world.

Project "I Have a Dream International" is a great contribution to the sincere efforts of the members of UCO's Globalization Task Force to enhance our University's global and international dimensions.

Active international involvement on campus has always greatly contributed to our University's outstanding character and civility. We, the members of UCO's community, cannot allow losing an invaluable multicultural capital.

Project "I Have a Dream International" will give our University not only a chance to sustain a high number of international students but also the historic opportunity to be on the forefront of revolutionizing the student employment regulations of the United States.

STAFF EDITORIAL

Lift on weapons ban an unwise decision he federal ban on assault weapons expired Sept. 13 with little fanfare in Congress but much public opposition.

Does the general public really need Uzis and AK-47s? The last 10 years were really pretty dull without them. In that time, the gun-related crimes have decreased steadily. Most would say that this would be evidence of an effective policy.

So why the lift on the ban? Does America need more guns, or do we just do we need to find a new form of entertainment?

Whether or not you can directly correlate gun crimes in the 1990s to the 1994 banon assault weapons is an issue that can be debated by both sides.

T

Gun crime was high. We passed a law.

Gun crime is low. We let the law we passed expire.

We can rest assured that if more people are affected by the ease of attaining assault weapons, we will see a public outcry and more legislation.

Do we really need to see obituary after obituary to convince us that making something dangerous harder to get is a good thing for society in general?

No law is absolute or without loopholes.

Fanatics will always find a way around the law, but that doesn't mean there should not be a law.

Anything that makes it harder to get dangerous things is good.

—Presiyan Vasilev Economics, sophomore

THE BODY POLITICK

Weapons ban: Shot down in a blaze of glory f I owned a gun, I would shoot it up in the air in celebration! In fact, I would shove a high capacity clip into my assault rifle, and shoot 10 rounds in the air — one for each year that America has been oppressed by the left wing gun haters.

Up until now, I would only be able to shoot 10 rounds before putting in another clip in, but not today. Today I can celebrate my love for freedom with a lot more bullets. Now that's American pride.

On Monday, Congress let the tenyear ban on assault weapons expire. It was singed into law in 1994 by President Clinton, and put a ten-year ban on 19 different types of firearms.

What is an assault weapon, and why do you need one? Well, that depends on whom you ask. Those in

T

JOSEPH WERTZ COLUMNIST favor of the ban say that assault weapons are military style weapons with a high rate of fire, and the ability to carry unneeded large amounts of ammunition. The NRA, and other second amendment defenders say that the ban is just a "feel good" measure that doesn't offer any real solutions, and that the ban affects cosmetic features on guns.

Lets agree for a second, that the

ban was strictly on the appearance of these weapons. That in 1994, what Congress was really trying to do was keep military looking weapons out of the general publics hands. Never mind the firepower or the killing capacity; these weapons spawn panic and fear simply on their menacing looks. This might be a silly reason for passing a law, but its even more ridiculous to fight for its demise.

Gun proponents argued that the law didn't keep higher power weapons out of peoples hands, and that people could find a way to modify existing guns to assault weapon status. For some reason many gun enthusiasts waged the debate to keep their scary looking army guns.

Both Bush and Kerry agree with the ban on assault weapons. Bush said

he would sign an extension of the ban if Congress passed it — but we all knew it wouldn't.

There were loopholes in the assault weapons ban. But there are loopholes in any law. People will find a way to attain what they are passionate about, in spite of any law. And these loopholes are one of the main arguments for allowing the law to expire this year.

Is there any law without some way around it? And if there is a way to avoid the spirit of a law, should the law even be in place?

As a kid, I loved playing "army". I would disappear in the woods all afternoon with friends, fashioning makeshift guns out of whatever I could find in the garage. Running and hiding, my pals and I would "shoot"

each other and raid each other's hideouts to plunder the spoils of our fakewar. I was around ten years old at the time.

There are many adults in this world still playing army. They fight viciously to keep their military looking guns, and militias.

There are people who despite the ban must have military weapons.

They are law enforcement and armed service personnel. Do you think they care what their weapon looks like? Is that a fight you think any of them would wage?

If you are obsessed with guns and camouflage clothing, give your local recruiter a call. You can actually get paid to use cool military style guns... and you would have real reason to drive a Hummer.

Italy PASSPORT program to take musical approach with new shows

NEWS IN BRIEF U.N. nuclear meeting stalls VIENNA, Austria — A key meeting of the U.N. atomic watchdog agency stalled Wednesday, reflecting disagreements between the United States and Europe over how firmly to deal with Iran and its suspect nuclear program.

The U.S.-European rift surfaced Tuesday, the second day of a key meeting of the board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog agency.

The latest draft resolution, obtained by The Associated Press and being circulated informally for reaction from other delegates, was nearly identical to one that France, Britain and Germany came up with Friday.

Beheaded bodies found in Iraq BAGHDAD, Iraq — Security forces discovered three beheaded bodies Wednesday on a road north of Baghdad, and a car bomb exploded in a town south of the capital, killing two people amid a surge of violence that has left more than 200 dead in the past four days. The three bodies were found without documents near Dijiel, about 25 miles north of Baghdad, said Col. Adnan Abdul-Rahman of the Interior Ministry. They were all male and had tattoos, he said.

Ivan roars toward Gulf Coast NEW ORLEANS — Stragglers streamed toward higher ground Wednesday on highways turned into one-way evacuation routes and surf started eroding beaches as Hurricane Ivan roared toward the Gulf Coast with 135 mph wind and its outer bands darkened the sky.

Ivan could cause significant damage no matter where it strikes, as hurricane-force wind extended up to 105 miles out from the center. Hurricane warnings were posted along a 300-mile stretch from Grand Isle, La., across coastal Mississippi and Alabama to Apalachicola, Fla.

by Vista Staff The College of Arts, Media and Design will kick off its 2004-05 performing arts season with the School of Music's production of the short operas "La Serva Padrona" and "Bastien and Bastienna" beginning at 8 p.m.

Sept. 23 through 25 and at 2 p.m. Sept. 26 in Mitchell Hall Theater.

"La Serva Padrona," written by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, follows the story of a young socialite, Uberto, who is ready to settle down. However, the object of his affection is a servant girl, Serpina, who works for him.

But Serpina wants to advance her station in life and sets out to become his wife.

While the original takes place in Venice in the 1700's, director Stephen Hilton, a parttime professor in the Department of Theatre, Dance and Media Arts, said he wanted to update it a bit.

"When I examined the plot, characters and theme of the opera, I realized it closely resembles the 'screwball comedies' of the 1930's and 40's. So we're taking this production to 1930's Manhattan," Hilton said.

The opera will include portions spoken in English with arias and duets sung in Italian.

"Bastien and Bastienna," written by Mozart at age 12, also gets a major makeover for this production. Hilton is calling it "Not Another Teen Opera" because he has moved this story of teen angst, love, trial and reward to a modern day shopping mall.

Perfon-ned in English, the opera tells the story of Bastienna, who believes her love, Bastien, has cheated on her. After thinking about it, he comes to his senses, perhaps too late. It will take the advice of Colas, the arcade owner, to bring them back together.

Both operas are short, comedic, easy to understand and appropriate for audiences of all ages.

These two operas are just the beginning of a full and varied performing arts season at UCO. Up next is a modern adaptation of Shakespeare's "Two Gentlemen of Verona," Oct. 7 through 10. Other theater offerings for the season include Moliere's "The Learned Ladies," Nov. 18 through 21; Ingmar Bergman's "Nora," Feb. 10 through 13; and

"The Royal Family" by George Kaufinati and Edna Ferber, April 21 through 24.

The School of Music will present the Sondheim's musical "Into the Woods," Nov. 4 through 7; a pair of modern-day operas by Gian Carlo Menotti, "The Telephone" and "The Medium," Feb. 24 through 27; and the Oklahoma premiere of the musical "A New Brain" by William Finn and James Lapine, April 7 through 10.

The season also includes concerts from pianist Valery Kuleshov, UCO's artist-in-residence; as well as UCO's renowned music ensembles including the UCO Symphony Orchestra, the UCO Wind Ensemble, the UCO Choral Society and the UCO Jazz Ensembles.

The Bronchos volleyball team opens their home schedule this weekend.

UCO hosts Drury tonight at 7 p.m and hosts the Lone Star Conference/ Heartland Crossover on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, the Bronchos play Oklahoma Panhandle at 3 p.m. and Incarnate Word at 8 p.m. UCO completes the homestand against Rockhurst Saturday at 12:30 p.m.

The Broncho volleyball team, winners of five of its last six outings, makes their home debut tonight at 7 against Drury.

Two of the three Lone Star Conference North Division players of the week presented by the league office on Tuesday were Central Oklahoma players.

Junior Jenny Anderson was selected LSC North Division Defensive Player of the Week and junior Kim Morgal was picked LSC North Offensive Player of the Week, after helping the Bronchos to a 3-0 record last week.

UCO didn't lose a game in defeating Dallas Baptist University, Missouri Southern University and No. 22-ranked West Texas A&M University.

The win over WTAMU last Saturday ended a 10-year, 15match losing streak to the Lady Buffs.

Anderson averaged 5.67 digs a game to go along with two service aces. She had 18 digs against MSU and 17 in the

(THAT'S WHAT GIRLFRIENDS ARE FOR) I

upset of WTAMU. Morgal hit .372 with 34 kills (4.25/game) and five errors in 78 attacks for the week. She added five aces, 12 digs and four assisted blocks.

Morgal hit .615 with 17 kills against MSU and added 10 in the sweep of the Lady Buffs.

"There's a lot parody in the league right now. In practice we're working on blocking, quick defense, watching the right side and attacking. We need good team play, we need the whole team to play like there's no real individual on our team. We want the whole team to play together so we can get a balanced attack. We're hoping not to come out flat after a big win over West Texas A&M. This will be a very competitive match but right now our defense is top in the conference so if we keep our service errors low and play our game we'll be all right," said Coach Jeff Boyland.

The Drury Panthers are under first-year head coach Amy Gardner. Drury is 4-3 with .572 win percentage and returns five veterans.

Gardner came to Drury from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, an NCAA Division I institute.

One of the Panthers top players is senior Middle Hitter Elizabeth Bunch. Last season, Bunch led DU with 484 kills and 145 blocks.

Joining Bunch will be seniors Eleni Swearinger and Erin Hoemann. Swearinger, an outside hitter for the Panthers was second to Bunch with 363 kills last season.

Hoemann led Drury in 2003 with 688 digs and chipped in 15 serving aces.

Also returning are sophomores Tedi Thoreson who led Drury with 892 assists and Molly Creach who was third in kills last season with 338.

Last year, the Panthers were 16-19.

UCO hosts Angelo State

by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor The undefeated Central Oklahoma football team takes on winless Angelo State on at Wantland Stadium Saturday night at 6.

The Bronchos' offensive line including Kito Talbert, Josh Epperson, Bobby Brooks, Brent Davison and Charlie Branch have been stellar this season allowing only one sack in the past two games.

Those five players have been the heart of the Bronchos' balanced offense as UCO averages 243 yards passing per game and 203.7 yards rushing.

The Bronchos defense has supplemented the offense allowing only 315 yards per game and forcing eight turnovers.

Last weekend, quarterback

Justin Allgood was outstanding in his first start of the year, passing for 295 yards and two touchdowns against West Texas A&M. Angelo is 0-3 with losses to Western New Mexico, Texas State and Southeastern Oklahoma. The Rams dropped a 41-27 decision to Southeastern on Sept. 11.

The Rams have struggled offensively averaging on 270 yards per game and 3.7 yards per play.

ASU's defense has not faired much better giving up 383.3 yards per game and 36.3 points per game.

The second quarter has been the Rams weakness in their first three games as they have been outscored 49-7.

ASU Quarterback Trey Weishuhn is 25-of-64 (39.1%) for 420 yards, three touch-

downs and five interceptions in their three games.

Receiver Travis House is the Rams main threat through the air, catching ten passes for 244 yards and three touchdowns. The 6-2, 200-pound senior from Houston averages 81.4 yards per game and 24.4 yards per catch. House is corning off a six-reception, 162yard, two touchdown performance against Southeastern.

James Williamson leads the Rams in tackles with 27 (14 solo). The senior linebacker from Menard, Texas has one interception in 2004.

Sophomore LB Tyrell McCrea is ASU's playmaker defensively with 18 tackles, 2.5 for loss, two sacks and two fumble recoveries. McCrea took one of his recoveries 25 yards for a touchdown.

Lily Defee kicks the ball in the Bronchos 1.0 win over Northeastern State on Sept. 14.

Bronchos top NSU, 1-0 four meetings between the two, including a 5-3 verdict last year in Tahlequah.

"I think we started off a little shaky and over analyzed what they were going to do but we caught our balance in the last ten minutes of the first half and we started playing really good in the second half," said Lily Defee.

Audri Habibi, UCO's leading scorer, said, "I felt good about today's win. We went in and played hard we got the job done, we played really well as a team."

The Bronchos are ranked 20th in NCAA Division II poll.

UCO was No. 23 in the preseason, but fell out after a second-game loss to Central Missouri State.

Goalie Carly Fischer and fullback Stephanie Gulisao helped lead UCO to their third defensive shutout of the season.

"Our intensity was really

by Harry Gatewood ITI Sports Writer

The Broncho soccer team defeated Lone Star-rival Northeastern State 1-0 at Tom Thompson Field on Sept. 14.

Melissa Terry scored the only goal, with a penalty kick with six seconds left in the first half, after NSU was called for a hand ball in the box at the 44:54 mark.

Terry zipped the ball past NSU goalkeeper Chelsey Hill to give the Bronchos the 1-0 , lead.

"They (NSU) got frustrated and started yelling at each other, we stayed calm the whole time. That is one of our good qualities. We kept our composure throughout the game which is better than how we would of handled it last year," said Terry.

The Bronchos hold a 6-1 series lead over the Lady Reds (3-2) and have won the last

outstanding. We went ahead and fought through it, the score was only 1-0 but it should have been a lot more.

We played well as a team," said Gulisao.

"We battled real hard and are playing real well. Now we have to finish our chances.

We're getting chances every game. We're playing well, getting the ball forward, getting chances but we're breaking down at the last pass or touch before we shoot or not shooting it quick enough.

Hopefully, it will be a thing that just starts clicking," said Coach Mike Cook.

UCO is now 4-1 on the season and 1-0 in conference.

UCO travels to Commerce, Texas to play games on Friday and Sunday in the Texas A&M-Commerce Classic.

UCO plays Emporia State Friday and North Florida on Sunday.

Deion's back (with the Ravens) and makin pl..a...err... let's give him a little time... "it's gonna be unbelievable! !"

But the biggest move was the biggest trade in the past decade: Denver HB Clinton Portis for Washington CB Champ Bailey.

Many have wondered who got the best of the deal...

DENVER... it's simple.

The Broncos the best corner in the league AND a second round pick which turned into Tatum Bell.

The Skins got one of the best runners in the league and Portis has not even scratched the surface of how good he can be.

DENVER STILL GOT THE BETTER OF THE DEAL! How? It's simple... Denver had Portis last year but he was completely taken out of the game in the playoffs against Indianapolis. The Broncos didn't have someone to deal with Marvin Harrison, Portis had NO impact on that game at all.

NONE! The lack of a defense can take someone like Portis out of a game, not to mention the fact Portis' plays a position which allows him to be hit constantly.

Denver coach Mike Shanahan knows how great his system is, he knew he had Q AND he knew how special Champ Bailey is. It should have been a no brainer...

And it was.

It was 2 a.m.
