Colleges face millions, in cuts for 2004 by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline.com Hints at a possible $40.7 million budget cut next year and sour tax revenue collections in September have state higher education officials anxiously awaiting word about October's tax collections, due out Nov. 12. The Office of State Finance has sent out information requesting that college and university administrators plan for possible
cuts that could affect the State Regents for Higher Education 2004 budget. The potential future cuts were revealed in connection with a Nov. 1 meeting in which the regents approved a $51.3 million increase, bringing their fiscal year 2004 budget request for the Legislature to $1.26 billion, said Harve Allen, the regents' media relations director.

money necessitated the additional request, regents said. Another possible round of reductions comes after the regents announced a $36 million budget cut in September. As a result, UCO dipped into its emergency reserve to offset the related $2.1 million it had to cut from its budget. October's revenue numbers will tell regents if the state budget situation is improving or worsening, said Maryanne Maletz, the
regents' vice chancellor for Budget and Finance. "We're just holding our breath, waiting to see what happens," Maletz said. In September, compared to last year, general revenue was down $59.3 million, said Shawn Ashley, an Office of State Finance spokesman. That figure was off only slightly from the agency's estimated September decline of $65.2 million. September income tax revenue
was down $49.6 million. Gross production revenue dropped $7.4 million and sales tax revenue decreased by $3.3 million. Ashley said analysts are forecasting slow growth for the national economy during the fourth quarter, which includes the Christmas shopping season. The retail industry is the second largest sector in Oklahoma's

UCO professor analyzes gubernatorial campaign by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline.corn While Brad Henry was out hustling votes across the state, former NFL wide receiver Steve Largent built a big early lead and played prevent defense until election day, said Dr. Jan Hardt, an associate political science professor at UCO. Many political insiders didn't even think Henry would advance beyond the primary, Hardt said. Vince Orza, an established name in Oklahoma politics, stood between Henry and the governor's mansion. An Orza-inspired alliance among Democrat candidates helped Henry beat Orza, Hardt
said. "Brad Henry was a surprise from day one," Hardt said. "He basically came out of nowhere. Even though he was a well-respected state legislator, he didn't have the name recognition Largent did." In campaigning, Largent had a seven to eight month head start on Henry, Hardt said. The Largent campaign also far outspent the Henry campaign, she said. Hardt said Henry made himself more visible than Largent during the campaign, especially in rural counties. One week

Keating, Henry want special session by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline.corn Governor-elect Brad Henry and Gov. Frank Keating met Nov. 6 and discussed issues including calling a special session of the Legislature to deal with the state budget crisis, a Henry spokesman said. The budget situation adversely affecting higher education could come up for consideration during the session that might convene sometime in November, said Thomas Larson, Henry's press secretary. "I imagine most everything will come up," Larson said. UCOSA Vice President Chad Dimmick liked the idea as long as legislators approached it in .a bipartisan manner. A special session would give them an opportunity to evaluate programs and to look for ways to free up money, he said. "It's a good idea for them to approach it sooner rather than later," Dimmick said. Larson said primarily legislators would be dealing with the funding crisis hampering the Department of Corrections (DOC), facing the prospect of furloughing employees. John Thompson, a spokesman with the DOC pubic information unit, said unless preventative action is taken, beginning Dec. 1 the agency will
furlough 4,850 employees for 23 days, freeing up about $14 million in funds. "We're already short staffed," Thompson said. Mike Ray, director of the House media division, said before signing off on the idea, House Speaker Larry Adair wants to know the agenda. "We need to have a blueprint laid out," Ray said. Under the state constitution, a special session must meet a minimum of five days, the time it takes for a piece of legislation to be processed, Ray said. Some existing pieces of legislation could be processed in one day, he said. Weekly administrative costs for a special session would be about $100,000, Ray said. "The speaker's position has always been that there is not enough money out there to fix all of the budget problems," Ray said. There is $72 million left in the state's Rainy Day Fund, said Mike Fina, a House media division spokesman. During the campaign, Henry supported a state-run lottery. After lottery revenue reaches a projected level, about $300 million would be earmarked for education. A portion of it would be used for college scholarships.

Quote of the day

1974 "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than that only freedom can make security secure."
South Africa was suspended from the United Nations General Assembly over its racial policies.
- Karl Popper
(bampus Quotes Cartoon by Chris Maupin As the wake of fear is still rippling across the nation, changing the way we perceive our safety and security, Big Brother is peering over our shoulder grinning with a slanted smile at the opportunity to secure their 'sensitive' governmental documents while declassifying parts of our personal life, all in the name of national security. They are welcoming surveillance from citizen volunteers: mail deliverers, utility employees, pest control specialists and various other occupations that routinely pass by, sometimes even through your house, to divulge suspicious activity and information to local, state and national agencies. They are peering in to libraries across the nation scanning data bases of books you check out, cross—referencing with their list of questionable materials and sometimes archiving e-mails that you send out on these public institutions computers. Phone taps, random searches, ethnic profiling, the
list is long and vague and is slipping in to our way of life because of the fear felt for a moment of vulnerability. In the horrific moment when our nation was crippled for a split second it opened a small crack wide enough for a single eye and then expanded as the thoughts of further occurrences of terror was on the minds of the masses. People stopped questioning how information is collected and used, they turned their heads in fear and when they finally turn around a piece of their freedom may be stripped away. Not to detract from the events that happened Sept. 11, it indeed was a trying time and a terrible event, but we must not look away and let the End of the government slip in the crack of vulnerability. The state of our nation is secure without imposing and intruding on the daily life of Americans.

President Clay Webber discusses club objectives during the third Socialist Club meeting on Oct. 30.
Socialist group forms at UCO ■ Leftist group will sponsor a "Corporation Awareness Week." by Timber Massey tm@thevistaonline.com "If you don't have the guts to say what you believe is important and voice your opinions then you are throwing away what millions of people have died to protect. It is a slap in the face to the people who founded this country," said Clay Webber, English sophomore. Webber has been an activist since age 16. He said that he feels UCO needs a radical voice on campus. In the spring 2002 semester, Webber circulated a petition on campus which stated that there was a need for a leftist group at UCO. The petition, which had eight signature spaces, was signed by over 20 people. An introductory meeting of the UCO Democratic Socialists (UCODS) was held on Oct. 11, 2002. "UCODS is not socialism based on 19th — century Marxist slogans, it is socialism that is relevent to people in their daily lives. This is a socialist group for the here and now, and we plan on focusing on issues relevant to people and their daily lives. The group does not hold a standard position. It is more like an umbrella group for different leftists on campus. We don't want to exclude anyone," Webber said. "The group is organized on the consensus process, which is the purest form of democracy. A dissenting vote kills the amendment or action. This type of organizing helps the group to compromise, and keep clear of a win/lose situation." Dr. Jeffrey Plaks, History and Geography assistant professor, is the sponsor of UCODS. Plaks said UCODS will become an official UCO student organization when they submit a constitution to the office of Student Services. Dr. Kenny Brown, History and Geography professor, said, "The clash and exchange of ideas is what a university should be all about. Even though the creation of this group may seem very uncharacteristic, there is actually a long tradition of socialism in Oklahoma." Brown said that in 1914 Oklahoma had more card-carrying members of the Socialist Parry than any other state. He said these socialists combined the idea of populism with Marxist ideology and believed that property should be owned by the community. Socialism is defined as "the theory or system of the ownership and operation of the means of production and distribution by society or the community rather than by private individuals, with all members of society or the community sharing in the work and the products" in the
Webster's Dictionary. been before.

Approximately 22 new parking spaces will be added upon completion of the construction in front of Hamilton Field House, said David Stapleton, director of UCO Architectural and Engineering Services. Ray Hudson, estimator for Shell Construction, said new parking construction on UCO's campus is scheduled for completion Dec. 31. Robert Lindley, executive director of UCO Auxiliary Enterprises, said, "We're always looking at an opportunity to put in more parking wherever we can and improve the parking situation." Lindley said the area needed cleaning up and problems with students parking on the grass and near trees made it a good area to turn into parking. "President Webb continues to want to improve the look of the campus and anytime we get the opportunity to do something like that, we try to do it," he said. Stapleton said Shell Construction, a paving and asphalt contractor gave the low-

Stapleton said the new spaces should be multipurpose parking with two handicapped parking spaces added to the south side of Ayers Street. Hudson said handicap ramps near handicap reserved spaces in front of Central Cafeteria, sidewalk construction and sidewalk lighting on both sides of the street will be included in the construction.
Traffic and Lighting Inc. will do the electrical work for lighting while UCO furnishes light poles and lamps to match existing lighting on campus, he said. Clint Walkingstick, graphic design senior, said he commutes from Oklahoma City and drives on Ayers Street every morning. "It hasn't bothered me. I like progress," he said. Lindley said UCO will begin work on the Wellness Center parking lot this summer.
Presidents' Club to host Christmas party by Timber Massey tm@thevistaortline.com Breanna Collins, president of the UCO Presidents' Club, said the organization is seeking around 600 people to serve as sponsors and volunteers for the 13th Annual UCO Presidents' Club Children's Christmas Party. "We have sent out letters to all the Edmond elementary schools. The children will be selected by the schools' principals and counselors. We expect to have around 200 children this year who will all need sponsors." Each child must have at least two sponsors that will be available to chaperone during the party. The party will be from 3 5 p.m. on Dec. 5 in the Grand Ballroom on the third floor of the Nigh University Center (NUC). Laura Beth Wren, holiday party chair, said anyone who would like to volunteer should turn in a sponsorship form to the Office of the Vice President for Student Services in Room 213 of the Lillard Administration Building as soon as possible. "After we receive the sponsorship forms we will mail the names, addresses, and information of the children to their sponsors around Thanksgiving." Collins said sponsors may spend no more than $30 per child. She said an article of clothing, a toy and a stocking of candy
are required purchases and if the sponsors choose to spend additional money they may buy a food basket for the child's family. She said members of the Presidents' Club will deliver the food baskets to the family after the party. Collins said, "The best part about sponsoring a child is to experience the atmosphere at the party. The true Christmas spirit is everywhere." The Christmas party will include holiday carols, crafts, refreshments and pictures with Santa Claus. Volunteers will be
needed to assist with activities at the party. Wren said, "Sponsors get to see the difference they made in a child's life firsthand. It is really fun to see how excited the children get when they see all the fun things there are to do at the party." Sponsorship forms are available in the Campus Life Office in Room 424 of the NUC.

The Internet supplied only 150 songs as Clear Channels suggested list. Paulson said in 1789, Congress sought government power and we sought protection; due to contract law, we got it. It is critical that we stand up for the First Amendment—to uphold James Madison's ideals and protect our constitution, he said.

SALLISAW, Okla. (AP) The Sallisaw teenager accused of killing two people and wounding eight on a shooting spree may have been hallucinating after taking cold pills and was known to be cruel to animals. Police say Daniel Hawke Fears, 18, went on a shooting spree Oct. 26, after a neighbor scolded him for driving recklessly in a neighborhood street where children were playing. Authorities have not said what motivated Fears to go on the shooting spree or why he was driving recklessly. He was charged with two murder counts and 16 other charges and will face a Feb. 24 preliminary hearing. Sallisaw Police Chief Gary Philpot said the investigation indicates Fears was hallucinating
after taking an over-the-counter cold medicine. Fears was known to have taken as many as 30 of these tablets at once, Philpot said, and even wrote a letter to a friend indicating the side effects, In the letter, Fears advised his friend — don't drive on this stuff," said Philpot, who has seen the letter. — It makes you think you're dreaming, but you're not. Less than a month ago, Fears was known around his eastern Oklahoma community as the quiet son of a successful professional fisherman O.T. Fears. Fears' father is one of the most successful bass fishermen in the nation. O.T. Fears has earned more than $500,000 on the pro tour and finished fourth at this year's Bassmasters Classic.

Speed-reading classes offered to UCO students by Rowynn Ricks student writer Vicky Staub, founder and director of Effective Reading Centers, teaches rapid reading classes to UCO students on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings in Room 105 of Nigh University Center. Classes offered this semester are almost over, but Staub said they hope to offer more classes in February. Tuition for the classes is $240 and may be paid off through four— and six—month payment plans. Staub said her goal for the classes is to teach students the
Henry, from page 1 before Election Day, Henry was touring the state in an RV while Largent was dodging interviews, playing it safe. "That's Oklahoma politics — door to door," Hardt said. "If you meet someone face to face they're more likely to vote for you." Henry ran positive ads that portrayed him as a family man, a strategy that improved his name recognition and created empathy with the voters, Hardt said. Henry ran one negative ad using an unflattering photograph of Largent, she said. Former University of Oklahoma Coach Barry Switzer's endorsement of Henry was a big plus, Hardt said. "In Oklahoma, Switzer is almost a deity," she said. What likely helped Henry even more was the day that Gary Richardson decided to make it a three-way race, Hardt said. Richardson pulled votes away from Henry, but he pulled even more of them away from Largent, she said. "I'd say [Richardson] was a spoiler," Hardt said. "But he also forced the candidates to focus on other issues that needed to be addressed." During the campaign, Richardson helped put the lottery issue front and center. And the lottery issue, in turn, focused voter attention on education issues like the state budget crunch, a popular subject in Oklahoma these days. Richardson capitalized on certain issues — making the turnpikes free, making college tuition free — that were attractive to many voters, Hardt said. He also began campaigning early. Most Independent gubernatorial candidates receive three to five
skills necessary to be able to read something quickly one time while understanding and remembering it. She said, "I believe I have a responsibility to impart knowledge that will be a valuable resource for the rest of their lives." Staub said people get more out of their education with improved reading speed, cornprehension, concentration and retention. She helps students improve in these areas by teaching remedial techniques. In seminars given Oct. 23 and Oct. 24, Staub informed attendees about several reading
percent of the vote, Hardt said. Richardson received 14 percent of the vote. Henry also benefited from Richardson's anti-Largent ads, most notably the "Sept. 11 ad." "Negative ads tend to work as long as they're not unfair," Hardt said. In the Richardson ad, Largent is being interviewed by a television reporter about his activity on and before Sept. 11. At one point, Largent curses at the reporter. Richardson created an ad highlighting the incident. But Largent did not produce a counter ad, defending himself and that hurt him, Hardt said. Wes Milbourn, KFOR-4 vice president and general sales manager, said in television advertising, advertisers want their products to appear in positive ads. After the mudslinging starts it often escalates, he said. "In politics, there is that line you don't want to cross," Milbourn said. Milbourn said most of the political ads produced during this campaign cycle were well done and effective. Many of them were entertaining. Television stations cannot edit or turn away political ads, he said. Spending in the Oklahoma City market during this election cycle was at an all-time high, he said. Across the country, candidates spent more than $900 million, Milbourn said. During the 2000 cycle, they spent $771 million, in 1998, $499 million. "Obviously, when it comes to political advertising politicians recognize that TV is the most powerful medium for getting their message across," Milbourn said. Hardt said Largent apparently was caught off guard as the race began to tighten the last two weeks. Throughout the campaign
problems and taught them basic techniques to overcome those problems. She said a major problem is subvocalization, or saying the word as you read, which for areas like Oklahoma, where people talk slower, means they read slower too. Another problem she discussed was fixation, or reading one word at a time, a technique learned in elementary school that she says is outdated for college— level work. A simple mistake made by many readers is regression, Staub said. Using fingers while reading
Largent didn't vary much in his approach. "When the race tightens up you have to be flexible and he wasn't." Hardt said "There wasn't much he could do in the last weekend." Governor-elect Henry received 448,143 votes, or 43.61 percent of the total. Largent's numbers were 441,227 and 43.27 percent, Richardson's 146,200 and 14.12 percent. On Election Day a total of 1,035,570 Oklahomans cast votes for their choice for governor. UCO Political Science Professor Dr. Randy Jones said members of his election forecasting class predicated the outcome of the race on Nov 1. Through a telephone poll of Oklahoma County voters that used randomly generated phone numbers and a statistical technique called regression, the class members produced nearly identical results, Jones said. Other historical indicators also pointed toward a Democrat win in the 2002 gubernatorial race, Jones said. Since 1962, with the exception of 1978 and 1986, when one parry is in control of the White House Oklahomans have elected a governor from the other party. Kennedy-Bellmon, ClintonKeating and Bush-Henry are examples of that trend, Jones said. The unemployment rate — pocketbook voting — has also been a good indicator in Oklahoma, Jones said. When the rate is 5.27 or higher, the candidate from the incumbent governor's party loses, he said. Hardt said good weather benefits Democrats. Republicans will vote more often in inclement weather than Democrats, she said.
the lines help to keep ideas connected and therefore easier to study. Writing just the key words of the ideas cuts down on what the student has to read and allows the student to focus only on the main ideas, she said. At the end of the seminar, she recommended students attend her classes which would go over more techniques in more detail. Staub, an education psychologist, has been teaching effective and rapid reading techniques for over 25 years. She worked at Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics, a national organization for speed reading,
would solve the problem of rereading the same lines, she said. Staub directed students in drills, which involve using the last three fingers of a person's dominant hand to slide across the lines at an increasing speed. She said this helps them learn to group words together, therefore increasing speed and combating fixation. Staub discussed retention diagrams as an effective way to take notes. The diagrams use lines to connect main points with details and only use the key words or ideas of those details. She said
for 10 years as the director of instruction after taking a class there. In 1984 she founded Effective Reading Centers in Austin, Texas. Effective Reading Centers offers classes to students and professionals alike. The classes last only four weeks with one threehour class per week. The classes teach more techniques like those mentioned before, and allow the students to practice the techniques they learn.

Database, from page 1 ing the database. Atkins said because the Department of Corrections has not been able to specify if students are students or employees of the university, his department has gathered information from sex offender databases from Payne County and surrounding counties, patching together a temporary database. "It'll take a little while," he said. "In the meantime, we're going to do this manually." Atkins said there were five reported sex offenses at OSU last year, but the database will only list those convicted. "Several of them were 'daterapes', where the victims declined to assist in prosecution." So far, Adkins knows of one student who is a convicted sex offender, and has sent out a letter advising him or her to register. The form UCO is using to register sex offenders is identical to the one Edmond has been using in the past. It asks those registering for vehicle description, employment information, hospitalization and incarceration information surrounding the convicted offense, and description of physical appear-
ance, such as scars, tattoos and hair color. Harp said he wanted to gather only vital information about an offender without violating their right to privacy. Bon Groth, director of public safety for Southwestern Oklahoma State University, said the school has a hard copy of their sex offender database available to the public that currently has no entries. He said the database has been available for one
month. The Jeanne Clery Act is named after a college student who was raped and murdered in her dorm room in 1986 and was championed by her parents. Harp said, "We all think of homicide as the worst crime a person can commit. I can tell you from experience that sexual assault can bring forth unimaginable suffering."

Students vie for Miss Asian 2002 For your listening pleasure by Summer Pratt sp@thevistaonline.co m The Second Annual Miss Asian UCO Pageant will be at 7 p.m. Nov. 16 in the Nigh University Center Constitution Hall. The four contestants representing Japan and Vietnam will be judged on talent, traditional dress, interview and formal dress. Tray-C Duong, one of the contestants and vice president of the Asian American Student Association (AASA), said she will play the violin with a piano accompanist during the talent portion of the pageant. Doung said she got involved with the pageant because she thought working with the other contestants and performing on stage would be a good experience. "I was at the pageant last year and I thought it was a great chance to get involved," she said. Shino Higuchi, president of the Japan Student Association (JSA), will translate for the three Japanese contestants during the interview portion of the pageant. Higuchi said she thought more people didn't enter the
pageant because of lack of publicity. "The vice president of AASA came to JSA but no one came to the International Student Council (ISC) to tell them about the pageant," she said. There are students from other Asian countries in ISC who might have wanted to participate in the pageant if they'd know about it, Higuchi said. Susan Chang, president of the Taiwan Student Association, said she hadn't heard about the pageant but said participating in the pageant wasn't part of the association's tradition. Jinny Chen, pageant committee member and public relations for AASA, said some of the reasons there aren't more contestants are the language barrier that face many of the Asian students, lack of clothing for formal and traditional dress portions and stage fright. Each contestant had to get two sponsors to buy an advertisement in the evening's program to help cover the cost of the event. Chen said this may have intimidated some Asian women who don't know many people in the area.
She said she wished more contestants would have entered. "Especially the foreign girls because it would help them meet people and to speak better English." Tanya Dang, president of AASA, said Kong Chang and Keli McAlister, a Channel 9 reporter will be the master of ceremonies. Little Miss China, Miss Black UCO, Miss Asian UCO 2001, University of Oklahoma AASA dancers and East Meets West, a dance group, will perform while the contestants are off-stage. The first prize winner will receive a $600 scholarship and a gift basket from Morning Glory in Quail Springs Mall. The second prize winner will receive a $400 scholarship. Chen said Multicultural Student Services provided the prize money. Last year's winner, Jennifer Nguyen representing Vietnam, competed against four other contestants and won a $500 scholarship. Admission is free with a UCO student ID and $5 for all others. For more information contact LaKrista Page-Sen at 974-5944.

"If you leave and decide to come back, you can take an Advanced Internship, which allows you to work more closely with things related to your major," she said. Stevens is also a campus representative for the Walt Disney World College Program. "I encourage students interested in applying to go to the website and fill out an application before attending the presentation on Wednesday," she said. "Also, we are giving out 50 recommendation cards, so if students contact me and say they are ready with an application and their resume, I will give them a recommendation," she said. Durant said this is the third time Disney has come to UCO. "We're hoping for a large crowd this year since it has been so well publicized," she said. Stevens said four other universities and colleges have been invited to attend, so UCO students are urged to be at the presentation early.

by Andrew Bowman ab@thevistaonline.com Clinic—Walking With Thee Clinic creates a dark, pensive mood on this album comparable to Portishead. Its eerie organ sounds and drumbeats mix beautifully with the haunting vocals delivered by lead singer Ade Blackburn. Walking With Thee grips the listener from start to finish with a sense of suspense and anxiety. The entire album has a sharp consistency without being monotonous. Plenty of bands have put together dark, cynical albums in the past, but Clinic does it with a unique, art-rock style that almost makes you happy to be in a bad mood. There's a hint of psychedlia in the songs that add to the creepy, yet strangely entrancing feel of the record. Maybe this album's greatest strength is its ability to keep you listening even when songs scare the hell out of you. It has the same quality as a good horror movie; you can't bring yourself to turn it off. After listening to this album, you'll most likely be asking yourself not if you like it but why you do. Badly Drawn Boy—The Hour of Bewilderbeast Damon Gough, the mastermind behind Badly Drawn Boy, blends his love for orchestra and operatic effects into this record. The Hour of Bewiderbeast is seemingly thrown together. The 18 beautifully crafted songs that comprise this album are laid out in a random order, or so you think. Each song is a different album, not in length, but in style and sound. There is at the same time, an intangible glue that holds Bewilderbeast together without the consistency that helps most albums flow from one song to the next. It's hard to explain but easy to listen to on this record. Many critics said this album was too scattered and noisy, but I think its greatest achievement is its ability to bring forth beauty from its dissonance. Gough has the unique ability to be happy without being trite or cheesy. The whole album is as soothing as a lullaby, but it won't put you sleep. Bright Eyes—Lifted or The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground As you can probably tell from
Bright Eyes: Conor Oberst the title of this album, Bright Eyes does not believe in brevity. Conor Oberst, the 22-year-old from Omaha behind Bright Eyes, doesn't believe in a lot things that make up pop music today. Oberst's heavily Dylan-influenced songs are wordy and pretentious. He rails against everything from religion to money to his parents. He is not bound by the chains that enslave the music industry today. He's not in it for the money or the fame or girls. He just wants to get a few things off his chest. This is where the lyric-heavy, ten minute songs come in. His pain, curiosity and worries are clearly expressed in songs that ramble on with Dylanish poetry. The songs on Lifted drip substance and meaning, and they are delivered with a raw emotion that you can't help but relate to. Oberst's voice shakes and shivers with Cobain-like pain and lifts triumphantly for emphatic screams. The collection of instruments behind him deliver a variety of sounds from angry country to an almost eighties rock balladry. Bright Eyes is exactly the kind of unique talent that the increasing-
ly corporate music industry would love to taint with greed and fame, but he won't have it. Because if he did, the very thing that makes him unique would be taken away. If you're searching for something that strays far from the heavily beaten path of money-driven music, pick up this album or one of his earlier albums (which I highly recommend also) and support an artist that doesn't want to get into your wallet but into your mind. This is anything but an objective music review. These are simply three CDs from my personal collection that I enjoy listening to, and I think you would too. So please, hold off on the hate mail if these happen to be your three least favorite albums of all time. However, I am very much open to suggestions for future reviews, so if you want to let the rest of UCO know about an album that you like, email me at abowman1975@yahoo.com . Join me in the war against Queen Britney and her army of superficial pop star clones who are trying to take over the world with bad music and boy bands.
Special Session, from page 1 But the time-intensive lottery issue could not be resolved during a special session, Fina said. Also, a lottery must be approved by a vote of the people, he said. Henry and Keating met for about 15 minutes in the governor's office, Larson said. The pri-
mary reason for the meeting was to begin planning for the upcoming Keating-Henry transition. "There's a lot to be done," Larson said. Larson said Henry felt good about the meeting with the governor and the cooperation from
Keating's staff. Governor-elect Henry will be inaugurated on Jan. 13. The House convenes for its next regular session on Feb. 3. As the sitting governor, Keating must call a special session.

economy, Ashley said. Last week, the Federal Reserve cut the short-term interest rate it uses to charge banks borrowing money and the rate banks use to charge each other by 1/2 percent, action that could give the local and national economy a boost. Like UCO, other colleges and universities have withdrawn funds from their reserves. Elsewhere, about 600 state jobs have been eliminated and 700 intersession and spring semester course sections are being cancelled, regents said. Furlough plans have been approved for some employees at Langston University and Connors State College. "We want to be fiscally responsible under the current budget restrictions but also sensitive to students' needs," Higher Education Chancellor Hans Brisch said in a press release. "Some states have already cut student financial aid from their budgets, but we have not. We would like to keep it that way." Maletz said she hopes that Governor-elect Brad Henry is aware of the funding level for higher education. Maletz said higher education funding is where it was at two years ago, but the number of students attending state colleges and universities has increased by 16,000 during the same time period. "I just hope that the new governor realizes that higher education needs to be a priority," Maletz said.

On Nov. 12 — 14, a photographer will be in the Nigh University Center to take student photos for The Bronze Book, said Bronze Book Editor-in-Chief Sharra Hardy. There is no sitting fee and no obligation to buy the pictures. For the last 10 years, the Bronze Book featured campus events and organizations, but only included the seniors in the individual student photo section, Hardy said. "Every class is featured in the candid shots, but only seniors were in the 'mug shot' section. The yearbook should be for all students, not just the seniors." The Bronze Book plans to include all students in the book this year, Hardy said. Special features of this year's book will include an interview with Rock the Vote entertainer Lisa Loeb and a section about Greek recruitment, she said. Melissa Mc Guire, freshman Special Education major, said she believes including all classes in The Bronze Book will increase student interest. "I would buy it if my friends and I were in it. I don't know any seniors, so I would not be interested if they were the only ones featured." The 2002-2003 Bronze Book theme is 'Defining Moments'. Orders can be placed in the
Communications Building Room 210. The Bronze Book usually costs $20, but students who participate in the photo sessions can purchase it for $12.

Soccer wins LSC title; takes No. 1 seed in Midwestern Region finals by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com
Photo Services
The UCO soccer team clenched the LSC title and a berth into the NCAA Division II national tournament with their 2-1 victory over No. 12 West Texas A&M Saturday. Valerie Gutierrez played the hero for UCO scoring the game-winning goals in the 1-0 victory over Midwestern Friday and the finals 2-1 win. Gutierrez scored a clutch goal in the second overtime lifting No. 18-ranked UCO to a heart-stopping 1-0 victory over Midwestern State on Friday. She repeated in the LSC finals nailing a goal off a corner kick from Lily Defee with 54 seconds left in the second overtime against WTAMU. The Bronchos won their 15th shutout of the season Friday. The finals victory gives UCO a 20-2 record on the year and the No.1 seed in the Midwest region. "Valerie made a great shot to head the ball in off a corner kick," UCO coach Mike Cook said. "They really took it to us, especially in the first half, but Melissa came up with some great saves and we did what we had to do to win the game." Goalkeeper, Melissa Penn had a school-record 13 saves to stave off the Buffs and won tournament Most Valuable Player. No. 18-ranked UCO will
"We've had an outstanding season to this point and we're not ready for it to end now." The Bronchos will face the winner of Wednesday's Metropolitan State-West Texas A&M game in the regional finals.

Blue hammer Bronze 25-21 in wrestling intrasquad duel by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com
American and national champion in 2000 is returning to the mat after redshirting last season.
Another sport at UCO made its debut last week, with the defending National Champion wrestling team competing in their annual Bronze and Blue duel. Mark Dodgen had a runaway win but a trio of other returning All-Americans struggled as the Blue edged the Bronze 25-21 at Hamilton Field House. The Blue won eight of the 14 individual bouts, running off a string of five straight late in the match to rally from an 18-10 deficit and earn the victory. Six of the 14 matches were decided by two points or less as the defending NCAA Division II national champion Bronchos made their 2002-03 debut. "We had a lot of close, lowscoring matches and that was to be somewhat expected since these guys practice against each other every day," UCO coach David James said. "I saw some good, positive things but on the other hand it was obvious we've got a lot of work to do." Dodgen, a two-time All-
He helped stake the Blue to an early 10-3 lead with a 9-0 major decision over Chris Cline.
The Blue also got wins from its two other All-Americans, though neither victory was sub-
stantial. Defending national champion Shawn Silvis trailed 3-2 late

in the first period before coming back for a 6-3 win over redshirt freshman Brian Dalke at 165. Transfer Jason Tapia, a twotime All-American at Southern Colorado seeing his first action with the Bronchos, trimmed redshirt freshman Nick Dewey 1-0 at 174. For the Bronze, returning 125-pound national runner-up Chris Saferite needed overtime to get past true freshman Jared Henning. Saferite got the winning takedown 31 seconds into sudden victory for a 5-3 triumph. The Blue led 10-3 after the first four weights, but Mickey Henry toppled Jerod Goodwin 3-1 at 149 on a takedown with three seconds left to start a fourmatch Bronze streak. Corey March capped that with a third-period fall in one of three matches at 157 to give the Bronze an 18-10 advantage. The Blue came back to win the next five. Redshirt freshman Bryan Tapley surprising Oklahoma transfer David Stitt 4-1 at 197 to give the Blue an insurmountable 25-18 lead.

Football plays to finish, punishing NSU 58-48 by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com Though Central Oklahoma could have just folded their season and given a poor effort in their last few games to end the year, they did not. The Bronchos traveled to Tahlequah on Saturday and shocked Northeastern State 5848 in an outstanding Lone Star Conference North Division battle. An unlikely hero in senior
fullback Nick Bobeck finished the game for UCO with his clutch fourth-quarter two-yard touchdown run on the first carry of his career. The Bronchos evened their record at 5-5 on the year while improving to 4-3 in the conference and 2-2 in the LSC North. The Bronchos jumped out to a 20-0 first-quarter lead and never trailed in the contest but NSU pulled within 51-41 early in the fourth quarter. UCO then sealed the win
with a 13-play, 80-yard drive that took up over eight minutes ending with Bobeck's run. NSU did get a score with only 18 seconds left but it wasn't enough as UCO ended a threegame losing streak in the series. "It's a big win for us and shows the kind of character we have on this team, said head coach Gary Howard. "We've had some disappointing losses this year, but we had a good week of practice this week and came out today ready to compete." The two teams combined for an amazing 1,050 total yards as UCO racked up 550. The Bronchos rushed for 298 yards and Erick Johnson hit 9of-11 passes for 252 yards, including a school-record 95yard touchdown to Dee Dee Carter. Starting tailback Tarik Abdullah continued his breakout season, rushing for 170 yards
and two touchdowns on 22 carries. UCO's offensive line was a key in averaging 9.1 yards a play and a school-record 31 first downs. The Redmen continued their comeback with a 69-yard scoring drive to pull within 37-27 in the third quarter. The Bronchos answered with a 69-yard march of their own, wnding with a Johnson one-yard keeper, pushing the lead to 4427. Then NSU answered again going 60 yards to pull within 10 again at 44-34. The Bronchos offense struck again, this time traveling 73 yards and scoring on Abdullah's nine-yard scoring romp. NSU quarterback Mitchell McKinnon led his charges downfield once again. He hit his third TD pass of the second half with 9:35 left to play to again get the Redmen
within 10 at 51-41. UCO then decided to chew up some clock, with runs right at the heart of NSU's defense. The defense got the day going, recovering a fumble setting up a short touchdown drive. UCO's biggest play was on a school-record 95-yard TD pass from Johnson to Carter.
Johnson barely avoided a sack on the play while throwing from the end zone into a stiff wind and hit Carter at midfield, with Carter outracing the NSU secondary the rest of the way to complete the touchdown. Haglund's PAT gave UCO a 34-14 cushion with 5:28 left in the half .
