Family, friends and fans of writer/entertainer Will Rogers gathered Monday, Nov. 23 in the University of Central Oklahoma University Center to dedicate a suite in his honor at the Nigh Institute of State Government's Salute to Will Rogers and the Will Rogers Follies. George Nigh, university president, introduced special guests and cut the ribbon, officially dedicating the suite before the large crowd. Special guests attending the event included Rogers' son, Jimmy Rogers; Dr. Reba Collins, author of Rogers literature; Max Weitzenhoffer, producer of the Will Rogers Follies and Jennifer Rogers Etchevery, great-granddaughter of Rogers. The Will Rogers Suite consists of two rooms, the Lariat Room and the Will Rogers Room, and is located on the 4th floor of the University Center.

The Lariat Room is named after the the 1920s UCO spirt club and will be used to honor outstanding UCO students, said Nigh. The Will Rogers Room contains Will Rogers artwork, photographs and other memorabilia, many of which are on loan by Reba Collins. Collins served as director of the Will Rogers Memorial in Claremore for 17 years. Lunch and entertainment were offered to the guests following the room dedication. The meal, served home-style in keeping with the Will Rogers theme, included beans, cornbread, barbecue brisket, corn-on-the-cob and apple pie. UCO students provided the metnh t, pcerrofw oidminwgitsheiecetniotenrs tafrinom the Will Rogers Follies. It was the first time Weitzenhoffer, who gave the students special permission to perform the acts, had seen anyone outside of his companies perform the show.

Brisby trial ends in aquittal Prosecution no match for defense; case closed By Roy Howe

Staff Writer

Nominations requested Once again, it's time for faculty members to put on those thinking caps and nominate a colleague for the annual University of Central Oklahoma American Association of University Professors Distinguished Scholar Award. To nominate a colleague, send a letter of nomination, along with appropriate supporting documents, to Dr. Thomas Guild, Chairman Selection Committee, Box 101, by Dec. 4.

After an hour and a half of deliberation, Nov. 25 a sixmember jury in Oklahoma County Juvenile Court found Shariell Brisby not delinquent on one count of first-degree murder and not delinquent on one count of first-degree arson. With this decision came the end of an attempt by the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office to place a match in someone's hand for the fire-related death of University of Central Oklahoma German Professor Gerhard Kallienke. "As far as we are concerned, the Kallienke case has been put to rest," said Mary Smith, assistant district attorney. She added that she was not aware of anyone else tied to Kallienke's death.

No spokespersons at the Edmond Police Department were available for comment regarding other suspects in the incident.

one testified as to seeing anyone start the fire which killed him. "Our case was primarily based on circumstantial evidence, but that is typical and not unusual,"

"We respect the jury's decision. That's why we have jury trials," she said. "I would hate to think of another type of system."

Smith said that the jurie's decisions in the trials of codefendants Jacqueline Latrice James, now 17, and Brisby, 13, were discouraging.

Smith said. "Especially in an arson case, where you do not

"I think that I can speak for The prosecution's only direct Mr. Duetsch (Steve, assistant evidence came from a medical district attorney who helped examiner who testified that represent the state) when I say Kallienke died as a result of the fire. that we were both very disappointed," she said. Smith said that circumstantial "But that's the system and I'm evidence is looked down upon, not criticizing it at all," Smith in part, because of the way it is said. "The jury did not think that portrayed on television. we had the evidence beyond a "Our law makes no reasonable doubt. That's what differentiation as to the weight we had to show the jury. between circumstantial and Evidently, we did not.," she said. direct evidence. The prosecution's evidence in Smith said that like voting, the the case was based on what methods used in America to could be found after Kallienke's arrive at conclusions should be duplex was gutted by fire — no valued.

The certification of James as an adult and Brisby as a juvenile occurred during July. Brisby's first trial began Aug. 31 and ended with a hung jury. The prosecution's second attempt, Sept. 29, was declared a mistrial because of a family difficulty with a jury member. Brisby's third trial date began Nov. 19, leading to her acquittal Nov. 25. Testimony in the trial against James began Oct. 29 and ended with her release Nov. 19.

Holiday cheer • Chaos reigns, dear, as shoppers grab last-minute cheese baskets Its Christmas time again. And when Santa Claus appeared in all his glory with his reindeer at the end of the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade (which by the way was not shown in its entirety like it has been for the past 20-some-odd years), it signaled the beginning, of the fun-filled holiday season. And the Christmas season cheer — or is that chaos — begins. Shoppers look for great bargains — and push anyone else looking for the same thing out of the way. Bumper carts have become America's favorite pastime — and a casual shopper's nightmare. The race for the check-out line can always leave bitter words in anyone's mouth, unless of course the words are actually spoken which could then result in a slap in the face from the receiver of those words. And pedestrians should beware of store parking lots. Some cars will go up and down the aisles for a very long time for that parking space that is two feet closer to the door. If standing in or wallking, near that space — you can pretty much . say goodbye. (This by the way is in good weather — in bad weather the situation becomes worse.) People mutter "Bah Humbug" as they pass the Christmas carolers providing "light holiday entertainment" for store guests. Young children invade toy aisles leaving parents sounding like broken records saying "NO, NO, NO. Santa Claus is watching." The pursuit is on and the parents are so bedraggled by the toy aisle experience that they are too tired to buy the socks for Uncle Joe and the cheese baskets for the cousins. Then there are the Christmas parties that really no one wants to go to where all the women are casually polite and men can usually always talk about a winning or losing sports team whether they know each other or not. The egg nog that is almost always too spicy or runny to drink. The twelfth ham sandwich on Christmas Eve night. The fifth batch of peanut brittle that sticks to your teeth . . . these are a few of my favorite things. . So the Christmas season and all its wonderful — or not so wonderful — traditions will continue until Dec. 25. Then things will be back to normal. Or . . . relatively normal?

Prayer pontification, finis

hen Professors Law, George and Bessie addressed L. G. Parkhurst's criticism of Law, they were not enforcing "political correctness" as Dena White and Pam Thompson assert. Rather, they were doing what professors are supposed to do – stamp out ignorance. As far as I can tell, Parkhurst was arguing that prayer can change human history, whereas Law cited evidence from antiquity to suggest that prayer did not stop Rome's collapse. At this point, the discussion seems reasonable and scholarly enough. Parkhurst's error occurred when he turned the issue into an ad hominem attack on Law, suggesting Law is ignorant of "real" history (as defined by Parkhurst) and of the Bible itself.

Parkhurst should have better sense than to charge Law with the crime of ignorance when he himself is ignorant of Law's vast knowledge and experience in the relevant fields. As George suggests, one should never challenge Michael Jordan to a little one-onone basketball game.

Parkhurst, White and Thompson further err when they assume that because professors disagree with them these professors are therefore "almost-intellectuals" and anti-Christian. I am an orthodox Christian, and I find Parkhurst's arguments filled with logical fallacies and appeals to dubious authority. If Parkhurst wants to argue Christianity with his professors, fine. Just let him do it well.

I agree with Parkhurst (and therefore disagree with Law) that prayer may in fact change human history. The problem is that it is difficult to prove or disprove such a premise because if data is being collected on this point, it is probably being stored in heaven, well out of the reach of good scholarship. What I dislike about Parkhurst, White and Thompson is the antiintellectual bent (they seem to think that all college professors jump on us poor, downtrodden Christians) and their arrogance (they seem to think since college professors are not Christians, they must be wrong about their fields of expertise). —Allen Rice

Clean up your own mess I am writing in response to the letter of Susan Harris in the Nov. 19 issue of The Vista. It is every student's dream to go to an immaculate classroom, and a school that is absolutely clean and tidy. B ut why is it that everybody thinks that there should be somebody around to clean up the mess that is created by the very student. Is it not the responsibility of every student to keep the university clean? This is a university, not a high school where you expect somebody to run behind you all the time telling you what to do. I find it amazing that the classrooms that are spic and span in the morning look like a stadium after a

game at the end of the day, with empty soda cans and chocolate wrappers all over the floor and chairs. Is it so difficult for the same student who brought the soda and food to class to put the remains into the trash cans? The desk and the walls are not places to write messages. As for the restrooms, every student who uses it is responsible for the state it is in. Why is it so difficult to flush the toilet after use? And why does everyone leave toilet paper all over the restroom floor and not in the trash can provided? There are a few people trying their best to provide a clean environment for the students, but how

far can they reach? It is not their responsibility alone. You and I and every UCO student must be aware that they have a major role in keeping this university clean. So instead of complaining, why doesn't somebody take the responsibility to see that there are no empty soda cans and food wrappers lying around after each class, or that every student flushes the toilet after use? Shouldn't each one of us be contributing something to make a beautiful campus a reality?

Commuter tells familiar tale Leaving a trail of rubble behind me, I grab my backpack and jet. through the front door. It's 8:13. I jump in my car, fiddle with the keys until I hear "Start Your Engines" from the back of my head. After my lap belt is secure, I synchronize my watch with the clock imbedded into my dash. Three minutes fast as usual. I jerk the car into reverse, and the race is on. Sitting at the stop sign at the end of my street, I debate on which route to take. One is a straight shot to the main thoroughfare, but could be staked out by police. The other passage is cop-free, but windy and I find it hard putting on lipstick while driving it. Remembering my warning from Officer Rossi two weeks ago, I opt for no lipstick. I turn left, then right. There's the Price's,

The light turns green. This car is going so slow. There's no way I'll make the next light. Red. Damn. It's 8:24. I'm going to be late. Green. Go! Go! I turn left onto the highway and accelerate. Fifty, fifty-five, sixty. Get out of the left lane — don't you know how to drive? The left lane is the fast lane. Come on move it, Mario. I pass the idiot in front of me and start to pick up speed again. I have to go with the How of traffic at sixty-five for a long stretch while I stare at the clock. I'm never going to make it. I break free from the pack. Only a few cars to maneuver around before the light. Don't tun red. Damn, just missed. Oh well, I'm first in line. I'll be able to catch up with the pack in no time. Green. Go! At 8:32 I catch up with the pack. I wish there weren't so many cars. Move. Forty ...

Pacschal's, Reynold's, lady that found my cat when I was little, ugly house, Sims', cute house, stop sign. Time check 8:15. I make a left turn at the sign and head north. Forty in a twenty-five, please don't let there be any cops, please no cops, please no cops. As I approach the street that leads to the Broadway Extension I pray to God that I make the light so I don't have to cut through Tune-up Master. That's illegal. Green. The next thing I have to deal with is whether or not there will be a train. I still haven't figured out that train's stupid schedule. Thank God, no train. Things are going smoothly today. Speed-up car. Move. I'm in a limy. You are going to make me miss this light. Move, move, move. Red. Great, it's 8:22. I'll never make it.

forty. Don't you know the speed limit? I reach Second Street at 8:34 and turn right. The traffic is moving so slow I'm losing time. Should I turn left on Boulevard and cut through? I wonder if that's really faster. Andrea says it is. OK, left. Oh God, what's the name of that street I turn on. Main? I get to Main and look left, no 7-11. That's not it. Go straight. Hurry, hurry, it's 8:36. Stop sign. I look right. I see the 7-11. That's it! Go right. I look up in the distance to see the last barrier between me and the campus. Please turn green. Please turn green. Green. Thank God, I'm home free. I cruise through the light at thirty and turn in the parking lot. Time check, 8:37. I've got to hurry. Backpack, purse, lock the

doors, go. I dodge a parking car and shoot them a dirty look. Pedestrians have the right of way, dummy. I cross the street without looking, confident that no one will hit me. For a minute, I entertain the thought that if they did they'd be sorry, and I would have an ironclad excuse for being late. Time check, 8:35. 8:35, why am I sprinting when it's only 8:35. How can it be only, oh yeah, my clock is three minutes fast. I always forget. I get to class at 8:40. I've been sitting down for less than thirty seconds when a heat wave comes over me. I didn't have to sprint, but I did have to put a wiggle in it to make it on time. Tomorrow I'm going to get up earlier. Molly Drew Guest columnist

Parten ends record setting career

Bronchos finish runner-up in tourney, Ladies fall twice

From staff reports

By Justin Harper Sports Editor Central Oklahoma's baketball teams combined for a 1-3 record over the weekend, however the men still came away with a rewarding road trip. The Bronchos missed being the champions of the Grand Canyon Invitational, held in Phoenix, Az., by a mere two points, losing to the hosts, Grand Canyon, by a score of 110-108. The Lady Bronchos went 0-2 in the Lady Lions Thanksgiving Classic held in Joplin, Mo. losing to Pittsburg State and Missouri Southern. In the Grand Canyon Invitational the Bronch's throttled Cal StateDominguez Hills in the opening round of the tourney. The high-octane UCO offense lit up the scoreboard for 123 points, while holding the Toros to 100. Cal State-Dominguez Hills had never before seen the likes of UCO's fast-breaking, high-scoring offense. The Toros allowed only 64 points per game last season which was the seventh best in NCAA II and the 123 points scored by the Bronchos were the most points CSUDH had ever surrendered. Alex Wright led the way with 34 points, seven assists and five steals. In the title game Wright again played great, scoring 39 points. Malcorn Leak and James Morris each tallied 19 points in the contest and Spencer Wright added 12. The Bronchos held a six-point halftime lead over Grand Canyon, 53-47. However the UCO lead was quickly erased when Grand Canyon nailed five three-point shots in the opening five minutes of the second half. Despite the two-point loss in the finals, UCO's Wright was named the tournament MVP for his 73 points in the two games. The Lady Bronchos fell to a powerful Pittsburg State team on Friday by a count of 80-68. UCO's Bobbi Hardy scored 19 points in the game and Tammy Cummings added 15. On Saturday UCO ran up against another quality opponent in Missouri Southern and came up on the short end of a 82-76 score. In that game Lady Broncho Tammy Cummings had a monster game scoring 26 points. Ton'Nea Williams also had a good game scoring 22 points.

Senior Amy Parten finished her UCO volleyball career with 13 school records. A four-year starter, Parten played in 151 of 156 matches during her stellar career. The following is a look at Parten's records: Most matches, career (151); most games, career (497); most kills, match (39); most kills, season (624); most kills, career (1,913); most attacks, match (86); most attacks, season (1,568); most attacks, career (5,098); attack percentage, match (.384); attack percentage, season (.292); attack percentage, career (.272); digs, season (548); digs, career (1,491). Parten also ranked third in single-season aces (68) and career aces (155).
