Homecoming ends with a win

By J.W. Reagor

Sportsfditor ith the other two state schools on break, the Bronchos took center stage in Saturday's homecoming game.

The UCO Bronchos were once again successful at improving their record on Saturday when they triumphed over the Harding (Ark.) Bisons.

The Bronchos remain undefeated after winning an offensive shoot-out against Harding.

Joe Aska, former Raiders running back and UCO alumnus joined in the festivities, along with Richard Tortorelli, and Jenni Carlson, of The Daily Oklahoman; Ed Murray from KWTV channel 9 news; Steve Sinderson from the Lawton Constitution, and Steve McGaughey of the Edmond Sun. The Bronchos improved their homecoming record under head coach Gary Howard to 14-9, having won four straight games.

In front of a crowd of 7,483 fans, the Bronchos and Bisons combined for 1,078 total yards in offense.

With the win against Harding, the Bronchos clinched their eighth straight winning season.

"We respect Harding's program a great deal, and we wish them the best of luck in the new conference," said assistant coach George Hauser.

This game may be the last game between the conference rivals since Harding will move to the Gulf South Conference next season.

Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity were announced as the float winners during the game.

During half-time Kristine Crain of Baptist Collegiate Ministries, and Lindsay Smith of ACACIA Fraternity were named Homecoming King and Queen respectively.

The winners of the "Laff Olympics" dance and cheer competition, the Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority, also performed.

here will be no "Golden Arches" in this year's UCO Homecoming Parade.

The Ronald McDonald House was turned away because of its involvement with Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE), the former UCO fraternity whose campus recognition was pulled for the next three years.

The Ronald McDonald House is a charitable, social service organization out of Oklahoma City center.

TKE was to help the Ronald McDonald House build a float for the parade until UCO found out the former UCO fraternity was involved.

Courtney Dunn, Ronald McDonald

House executive coordinator, said their float was not going to promote TKE but rather allow the members to donate their services.

Dunn said TKE help was going to be on an individual basis and not as a group.

"It was really going to be volunteers," Dunn said.

"And maybe she (Lynn Means) didn't understand that, I'm not sure but nothing on the parade entry form said anything about the fraternity."

The Ronald McDonald House likes to participate in events like this because it raises awareness about the organization and its need for volunteers, Dunn said "Any time a non-profit organization

Continued from front page can get extra recognition, it's a good thing."

She said the UCO decision is a "disappointment" because they always like to work with college students, and they are able to do more volunteer work.

"Of course we were looking forward to it but hopefully we will be able to do it next year."

According to Lynn Means, director of student activities, the Ronald McDonald house has not participated UCO Homecoming parades in the past, and they are not on the Student Activities mailing list.

Means said she wondered how they heard about the UCO parade and who their contact person was.

"They have not participated before, and we did not mail them information on participating in the parade but we were excited that someone new was going to be in our parade," Means said.

T A

When Means called the McDonald house and asked Dunn what the float would look like and other general information, the facts surfaced about TKE involvement "At that point I said, 'no I'm sorry we cannot allow you to participate in the parade,"' Means said.

Means also said when the McDonald House faxed her their entry form, there was a handwritten note in the top corner with a TKE member's name and telephone number.

"She probably made a note of it up in the corner in case she needed to call him back or something," Means said.

"My administrative assistant noticed the phone number and name in the corner of the form or we would have never known.

"I would have had to call security Saturday morning when they all showed up in their letters and it would have been a big mess," she said

Means said, since the faxed entry form from the McDonald house was two days before the parade, she let them know what situation "out of courtesy to them."

"She (Dunn) made it clear that she had no idea what was going on with the entry," Means said.

"I did not feel comfortable

about dragging her into the situation."

Means said she is sad that the situation has evolved like it has.

She said the Ronald McDonald House situation was handled "proactively" in a professional manner so the circumstances would not get further out of hand

HOT-BLOODED, HAUNTING AND UNFORGETTABLE!

"Absolutely nothing, nothing whatsoever that they (TKE) do will change our position and so the continued media coverage is not going to make the situation any better," Means said.

She said the Homecoming activities board has worked hard to make this "the best Homecoming we've ever had."4(

UCOSA participants may earn college credit

By Trent Dugas

SUMMIter resolution to give student government participants college credit is currently in the planning stages.

Speaker of the House, Chris Cook, is drafting plans that, if successful, will allow members of the University of Central Oklahoma Student Association (UCOSA) college credit for participation.

Cook said class-credit is a great idea for the students in UCOSA. "I think this is a big investment," Cook said.

"I think that this is the best tool where you can learn about the government process, how legislation is passed, parliamentary procedure, leadership skills and delegated authority."

Cook's plan will require any student who is interested in gaining credit for being in UCOSA, to pay tuition fees and treat the membership like a normal class.

The credit would not be a requirement for being in UCOSA. Cook said the credit plan would be voluntary.

"I think it would increase participation and would more clearly define the student voice."

The credit plan would be treated as any other -class, Cook said.

"I don't mind a structured curriculum for it," Cook said.

"We can put papers in it, a mid term and a final, have requirements and that sort of thing."

Currently, the UCOSA president, vice president, president pro tempore and speaker of the house all receive scholarship money for their participation in the organization.

Cook said ideas about making membership in UCOSA a paid

job have been drifting around campus for some time.

Cook said his focus is on college credit and not payment.

"It could be an option but I'm not in that boat," Cook said.

"Maybe for someone else but it's not on my agenda. The university recruited me for leadership on this campus and that's what I'm doing and I love it."

He said since the plan is in the early stages, he has not received official approval. "(The) Political Science (Department) hasn't said they will endorse this yet," Cook said.

"I am just talking to them seeing if that's an interest of theirs but if academic affairs is willing to approve the class and curriculum, then that's what we want."

Dr. Karen J. Dowd, associate vice president for academic affairs, said it is highly unlikely that a student group could advance a motion to have their activities generate college credit.

"First of all, college credit for activities has to come through a rigorous process by academic affairs," Dowd said.

"It is not generated by students but rather by faculty and the council on academic

Dowd said UCO has to preserve the mission of the institution.

"We are very, very restricted by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges and the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education," Dowd said.

"We have to do all of our work by their guidelines, their standards and course work has to be appropriate for degree programs, general education or

working with UCOSA, trying to convert membership in UCOSA from a volunteer basis to a college credit program.

The specifics have not been worked out, he said. Who is covered for eligibility, why they are eligible and what the curriculum will be is still up in the air.

Furmanski said when all the detail are smoothed out, they will then officially submit the proposal to Academic Affairs.

Even if UCOSA passes a resolution, academic affairs will not look at the proposal because the official process requires that anything for academic credit begin at the department level.

Virile vireos vying for venues

By Robyn Lydick

MIAWater

n

rivers cruising Route 66 in the 1960s could roll down their windows and hear the vireo's

song.

Today 380 pair of black-capped vireos, a small songbird, nest in the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge. Sixty pair were found in 1987.

"We want to see 500 to 1,000 pairs in the next few years," said Joe Grzybowski, UCO anatomy professor.

Grzybowski has been researching the range, habitat and populations of the vireo since the mid-'80s.

Over the summer he received grants totaling $21,000 from the U.S. Army and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife.

The vireos like the scrub oaks and rocky outcroppings the Wichita Mountains offer.

So do the cowbirds.

Cowbirds are considered the irresponsible parents of the bird world.

They lay their eggs in other species' nests.

The cowbird chicks are bigger than the host's chicks and usually hatch first. The

cowbird chicks win the competition for food and care, Grzybowski said.

As adults, the vireo weigh 10 grams.

An adult cowbird weighs 35 grams.

So the cowbirds must go.

They are caught and destroyed. Eggs are removed from vireo nests.

In the early years of his research, Grzybowski said almost 100 percent of vireo nests had cowbird eggs. Now the nests are virtually cowbird egg-free.

"The cowbird traveled with the buffalo herds," Grzybowski said.

"The buffalo roamed a large area. Now the birds are on cattle. Where in Oklahoma can you go to be 40 miles away from a cow herd?

"The buffalo did not always return to the same spot each year, giving the local species a chance to recover," Grzybowski said.

Grzybowski became interested in birds in his teens.

"I had always been interested in birds.

I had a summer off and I heard rumblings that the vireo were disappearing," Grzybowski said.

His work with the vireo is also his research for the university.

"I get some funding through Dr. Rao's

— Photo provided

office and some funding of my own," Grzybowski said.

Dr. Narasinga Rao is the director of Faculty Research.

Studying the changes with the vireo is a small view of the local ecosystem.

"The vireo is a flagship species," Grzybowski said.

The stability of the population indicates the stability for the environment.

"Most population will stabilize at some point," Grzybowski said.

"The question becomes 'how many species will they take with them?"

Vireo migrate to the Pacific slope of

Mexico.

"About 70 percent of males and 60 to 65 percent of females return each year," Grzybowski said.

The males are territorial but the females do not always come back to the same areas, he said.

"Only 45 percent of the fledgelings survive to breeding age."

"If you want to have any songbirds around, this research is important," Grzybowski said.

"This is important for people who enjoy the outdoors."

Miss Black UCO 1999: a profile

By Fachaitte Kinslow

Staff!Witer Tom dressing in green to being the queen.

Dawn Haygood, Miss Black UCO 1999, went from spending four years in the army to representing UCO's black community as Miss Black UCO. "I'm older (29) and I just wanted to see if I could do it," Haygood said.

Haygood likes the fact she is not only representing the blacks on campus, but students as a whole.

Haygood has made many appearances as Miss Black UCO. She appeared at Big 12 (black student government conference), as a guest at local pageants, and as a contestant at the Miss Black Oklahoma pageant.

Haygood was 1st runner-up in this pageant.

Haygood had a break during the summer. She will resume making appearances as Miss Black UCO until the next pageant.

"I won't miss the crown at all,"

Haygood said.

"It takes a lot of dedication."

Haygood urges young women to enter pageants.

"It's a great way to build character and bond a relationship between the girls, not to mention the scholarship opportunity," Haygood said.

"It builds such confidence answering a question (on stage) that you don't know beforehand," Haygood said.

"And the swimsuit comes and goes so fast, and it's just a small part."

Haygood was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. She has been in Oklahoma for 8 1/2 years.

"The people in Baltimore are grouchy where the people in Oklahoma are friendly," Haygood said.

Haygood also participates in a variety of volunteer work not related to her reign as Miss Black UCO. Haygood is a member of Delta Sigma Theta. The sorority spends a great deal of time in the community mentoring and tutoring.

"I'm a giver," Haygood said.

Haygood is also a certified ophthalmic assistant, which is someone who assists in eye surgery.

"I learned it in the army," Haygood said.

Haygood said she likes UCO because of the diversity of 96 different countries being represented on campus.

"The more different a person is, the more I want to get to know them."

Haygood said.

"Just because we're a different color, doesn't mean we're inferior."

At UCO, Haygood started out as a triple major in biology, chemistry, and music. But that didn't work out.

She is now a corporate communications major at UCO and hopes to receive a master's in journalism.

"I love public speaking, but I don't have a platform," Haygood said.

UCO provides undergraduates with new research center

By Robyn Lydick

StaffliTiW

U

CO is now home to the Undergraduate Student Center for the Advancement of Research and Education (USCARE). The center opened Oct. 8.

"The mission of USCARE is to emphasize the intrinsic value of research and to provide undergraduate students with research experiences in the university, as well as the public and private sectors," said Dr. Narasinga Rao, executive director of USCARE. Rao said UCO is the perfect university to coordinate undergraduate research because of its proximity to the Oklahoma City metropolitan area.

Rao hopes to expand the center to include regional

_c

universities as well as the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University and Tulsa University.

"USCARE will help produce well-trained, well-prepared graduates from Oklahoma's regional universities," said UCO President Roger Webb.

"This program will serve as a terrific complement to the graduate research programs already in place at the regional universities."

The regional universities are: Langston, Oklahoma Panhandle State, Southeastern, University of Science and Arts, Southwestern, Northeastern, Northwestern, Cameron, East Central State, Rodgers State and UCO. All 11 universities are overseen by the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges.

Eipplebee's,)-

USCARE has a six-member external advisory board to help with administrative decisions and program development, Rao said.

"Our hope is that UCO can become a type of clearing agency for research conducted at the undergraduate level," Rao said.

"I'd like to see it expand slowly."

"My goal is an institute of undergraduate research," Rao said.

"There is no formal undergraduate research (at UCO), although it may be done as a capstone experience."

Students who wish to conduct

a research project may contact either the Office of Sponsored Research and Grants or a faculty member who shares the student's interest. The office is in the Lillard Administration Building, Room 216.

"It is so much better to talk to a professor and then come over to us and say 'I want to do this,"' Rao said.

The Office of Sponsored Research and Grants compiled a booklet listing faculty and their research interests. The booklet is available for students to find professors with research in similar interest areas.

Fashion and talent extravaganza turns heads

By J.W. Reagor Sportstor he Black Student Association presented the third annual "Free Your Mind" fashion and talent extravaganza as part of homecoming week.

To say the least this was a fresh and positive way to give the university a different look at the multi-cultural organizations on campus.

Barry Lofton, Coordinator of the Multi-Cultural Student Organization had a positive response about the show.

"It was a nice show," said Lofton. It was a great way to bring everybody together.

The show featured an astonishing array of both talent and fashion.

The modeled fashions included casual, hip-hop, Greek life, and formal.

The crowning of the formal scene featured Ms. Black UCO Dawn Haygood in a wedding scene.

In most fashion and talent

T

shows the talent portion is merely to pass the time between the model's moments of fame on the runway.

This was in no way the case with last Thursday's performance. UCO students Jo Jo Lee, Tre McCoy, and Dele Olasiji displayed their vocal talents in a Hollywood worthy performance of original music entitled "Backup Plan".

Not only was their harmony intense, but their spirit was felt throughout the crowd.

In a different twist Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, better known as the "pretty boys" stunned the audience with a dance and stomp act.

Their performance was

rivaled by their counterparts, Delta Sigma Theta sorority. The women moved as if they were stars in a feature presentation.

Sometimes different is better, and this was definitely one of those times.

The highlight of the performance was a modern dance interpretation to the Kirk Franklin song "Lean on me" by the Ebony Dance Troop of Oklahoma City.

The dance was a demonstration on life and the value of friendship, trust and understanding.

Not only were the troop's moves precise and heartfelt, the purpose of the performance was felt by the audience and

participants in the talent show.

The payoff for the Ebony Dance Troop was a well deserved silence as the audience reminded themselves that they were still a part of earth.

This was followed by a standing ovation that exceeded a minute.

"They did such a good job, I was so impressed by that," said Yolanda Carter, participant and president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.

Impressive was the Greek life scene in which all of the fraternities and sororities showed both their colors and spirit by announcing their organization, colors, and founding dates.

Members of the Black Student Association should be applauded for their efforts. The organization brought together groups of people that may have never considered cooperating. <

GAME

Continued from page 14

with 8:27 left in the first half.

With no time-outs and only 1:17 left in the first half, the Bronchos went 80 yards to take a 28-14 halftime lead.

The Manning and Barnes duo hooked up on a 40 yard pass, setting up a Justin Matthews 1-yard touchdown run to end the first half, Head Coach Gary Howard said he knew his team would have to be aggressive and make big plays.

"I was happy with our passing game and how aggressive we played all around . . . it was a good effort," Howard said.

The Bronchos started fast in the second half. Lusk returned the kickoff 57 yards to the Bisons 43 yard line.

Briley extended the Bronchos lead to 35-14 with a 23 yard run.

After two touchdown passes -- Photo by: Tony Oltmann by Cullins and a field goal by Jeremy Thompson the Bisons were down five (35 30) with Kelly Heathington (24) lays a hit on Luke Cullins (17) of 2:29' left in the gaine. the Harding University Bisons at Saturday's game. The Bronchos remain undefeated in conference action. And then the Bisons hopes for a comeback were busted when -

Lusk exploded for a 43 yard run on a reverse to seal the win for the Bronchos.

Greg Briley finished the game with 158 yards on 22 carries and two touchdowns. Briley has rushed for over a hundred yards in five straight games.

Brett Manning completed 11 of 20 passes for 250 yards and two TD's.

Todd Barnes caught six passes for 179 yards on the day.

The Bronchos defense was led

by Junior strong safety Jon Brazeal with 14 tackles. Junior Kelly Heathington and Freshman Jeremy Dale each had ten

tackles.

Howard was pleased with the way his defense played considering the type of offense Harding ran.

"We knew they would score . . . their offense is very strong. Except for two big plays I thought we played pretty darn well," Howard said.

The Bronchos run their record to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in LSC. Harding drops to 3-4 overall and 1-4 in LSC. The Bronchos will travel to Arkadelphia, Ark. this Saturday to face Ouachita Baptist.

DONNER UPDATE: AllAmerican Reggie Donner returned to the starting line up for the first time since the season opener.

Donner, still feeling the effects of an injured hamstring, ran into some more bad luck Saturday.

Donner, on only the Bronchos second offensive play, suffered a sprained knee and left the game.

Ice Cube star as Sergeants Troy Barlow and Chief Elgin, two reservists with just one wish on their minds: To see some action.

After Wahlberg and Cube find a map hidden on an Iraqi soldier depicting the location of Saddam Hussein's hidden bunkers, they devise a plan to ransack a bunker

that contains millions of dollars in Iraqi gold.

The plan seems to be so good that Gomer Pyle couldn't mess it up, right?

Wrong.

The "Three Kings" go through a mine field, interrogations, fire fights, and escorting 55 refugees to the Iranian border.

This film takes you

from a happy go lucky tempo to something of a "Schindler's List" mood.

This movie is definitely not for anyone under age 16. It is violently graphic and realistic.

Guys, this is not a date movie.

THEVISTA

\

Have you been feeling a little tired lately? Do you press the snooze button to try to steal extra minutes in bed every morning? Do you feel like the semester is beginning to drag you along?

If you answered yes to these questions, you are probably suffering from lack of fall break syndrome. Lack of fall break syndrome makes students feel tired and much less motivated in school then they would feel if they had a nice four-day weekend to relax.

It's amazing, though, that some of the faculty are not suffering from this syndrome as well. Some professors are taking their own fall breaks by giving students tests on Fridays so they can be absent to enjoy a three-thy weekend.

Of course, no student can blame his professor for this action. We all need a fall break.

Maybe if the administration had a few days (like a Thursday and Friday) to sleep on it, they would decide to give us back our fall break.

John Lurry /The Vista

Bovines, pot-holes and scares — Oh my!

oeitinen Rabalai „, „ y 17 year-old daughter was asked by a friend to feed the family pets when she and her parents went outof-town for a weekend.

Being such a sweet child, my daughter agreed.

They told her how much food to feed each of their dogs, rabbits, horses, and chickens.

They told her to remember to change the animals' water on a daily basis.

They told her what treat to give each pet.

They told her a lot of things,

but didn't tell her they lived in the middle of nowhere, in what could very well be defined as "Deliverance Country."

"Mom, want to go with me to feed the animals?" my daughter asked.

She had to stay late at school for a yearbook deadline and it was starting to get dark.

"Sure. Let me see if your dad and sister want to go for the ride," I told her.

I walked out onto the patio where my husband and younger daughter were talking on the porch swing.

"You two want to go with us to feed the animals?" I asked them.

"I do," my daughter replied.

"We'll take the Jeep," my husband said.

We all piled into the Jeep and headed north into Logan County.

After 15 minutes of riding on pot-hole filled mud roads, my husband asked my older daughter how much further we had to go.

"When there are cows milling about in the roadway, you'll be about three quarters

of the way there, Dad," she said with a chuckle.

We drove another 10 minutes, dodging Mt. St. Helens-size craters, before we saw the first cow.

After cresting a hill, there she stood, in all her bovine glory.

She wouldn't move. She just stood there, stared and mooed.

My husband stopped the Jeep and looked at me.

"What should we do now?" he asked looking at the cow.

"Maybe she'll move if I get out of the Jeep," I said.

"Are you crazy?" he asked looking at me like I had no sense.

"That animal may attack you."

"It's a docile cow, dear," I assured him, "not a Rottweiller."

I stepped out the Jeep and started toward "Elsie."

"M000ve," I coaxed her.

She just looked at me with big, brown eyes.

I stepped closer and swatted her rear end.

"Go on ..."

The cow walked to the side

of the road and I started back to the Jeep.

That's when I heard it.

Banjo music drifting on the breeze.

Looking over my shoulder I climbed back into the Jeep.

"Let's go," I said.

My husband put the Jeep into gear and we were on our way.

"Turn here," my daughter instructed at a road that led deep into a wooded area.

"Where are we?" my younger daughter asked.

"This looks like werewolf territory," she said with a hesitant chuckle.

"Oh, we're on the property.

The house is at the bottom of the next hill," said my elder daughter.

And so it was. Sitting back behind the tree line, the house was marked by a single porch light.

We all got out and went inside while my daughters fed the animals. When they were finished we headed home.

The ride home was even more fun in the dark.

Especially the crossing of a

bridge that consisted of two, two-by-fours placed over a creek.

The Jeep's headlights didn't help much, since the road was either going up or down, and pot holes were hidden in the shadows.

We passed the same cow on the side of the road. Only she had been joined by a few of her cow-friends and they were pleasantly "mooing" the evening away.

It seemed like an eternity before we saw the first signs of civilization.

A lone street light.

"We made it in one piece," my husband said.

"I've never been so bounced around inside a car before," my younger daughter commented rubbing her neck.

"It was an experience," I agreed.

"Yep," said my elder daughter.

"And we get to do it again tomorrow night," she said with a mischievous chuckle.

A slight breeze blew, carrying with it the sounds of strumming banjos. -4(
