OKCCC is feeling the impact of another record-breaking enrollment increase for the fall semester

although some students are still enrolling.According to the numbers provided by John Barker,

director of research, OKCCC expects to see a 7 percentincrease in head count compared tothe fall 2001 semester.

Barker said 11,043 students are en-rolled for the new semester, which in-cludes two eight-week sessions andthree five-week Fast Track sessions.

Students are enrolled in 92,948credit hours, which averages out to be8.4 credit hours per student, an 8percent increase, Barker said.

Online courses expect 1,533 stu-dents to be enrolled, which is a 36 per-

cent increase over the same period last fall.Barker said many of those students are enrolled in

multiple online courses, which totals 2,212 online en-rollments. This is a 39 percent increase of online courseenrollments from fall 2001.

Telecourses also experienced an 8.8 percent increasecompared to a year ago. Telecourses this fall will have654 students enrolled.

Like online courses, one student might be enrolled inseveral different telecourses. This means there are 784telecourse enrollments, a 2 percent increase from lastfall.

Biology has experienced the largest jump at 23.6 per-cent, with 2,229 students enrolled.

Anna Wilson, dean of the science and mathematics di-vision, thinks she knows the reason biology classes haveexperienced such growth.

“Enrollment in the biology department has been mainlyimpacted by the increase in the number of individualsapplying to get into the nursing program,” she said.

Although still among the top five departments, com-puter science enrollments are down 12.8 percent thissemester.

Acting Division Dean for Information Technology, AlbertHeitkamper, said a reason for the drop has to do withthe University of Oklahoma.

Even though President Bob Toddreceived the Lifetime Achievement

award from the Capitol Hill High SchoolAthletic and Activities Hall of Fame, hecould do nothing but deflect the atten-tion away from himself.

“Yeah, it’s a lifetime achievement award,but lifetime achievement is a result ofother people who have helped formulate,helped support and develop those accom-plishments,” said Todd.

“And it was humbling to experience therecognition that came from that group.”

The ceremony was held at the CowboyHall of Fame and Western Heritage Mu-seum in July. Todd said the individual

awards almost becamesecondary.

“It was a celebrationof community more sothan it was a banquetto recognize individu-als,” said Todd.

It also became a fam-ily affair for Todd, ashis two brothers whograduated from CapitolHill also attended.

Todd said he was consumed with prideafter his son Brian introduced him for hisaward.

“The highlight of the evening was see-ing that young man stand up there and

Identity thefts occur every day in the UnitedStates.

It just takes nine little digits — a Social Securitynumber.

As more and more people are becoming awarethey are taking precautions to avoid the financialmess that would accompany identity theft.

Oklahoma no longer allows a Social Securitynumber to be used on a driver’s license because ofthis danger. The same law applies to school iden-tification cards.

There were 560 identity thefts in 2001, rankingOklahoma 29th in the nation.

Oklahoma City had 93 incidences and takes sec-ond place in state rankings with Tulsa leading thecities at 112 identity thefts within Oklahoma, ac-cording to the Federal Trade Commission reporton identity theft.

OKCCC just recently changed its system of print-ing out student identification cards.

Unfortunately the new system has not been ad-vertised to students.

Meanwhile, our Social Security number is at riskof being stolen.

Students may now request a new ID with theschool issued identification number at no cost.

The number that is linked to students entire fi-nancial life shouldn’t be available to just anyone.

I’m glad the procedure has been changed.It was only last year when students that asked

about being assigned a different number were toldthat they would have to fill out a form and wait fora year when a new batch was handed out.

A person shouldn’t have to ask in order to keepprivate business private. It should have been au-tomatic.

OKCCC could do a much better job of advertis-ing this change. It was easy to just keep the SocialSecurity number on students IDs and it seems thatit is easy now to not tell them that the ID systemhas changed.

Not that I have ever really used my ID except fora discount at the movies, but it is nice to knowthat my ID number can be changed without a largehassle anymore. I might actually carry it with menow.

OKCCC has finally caught up with other collegesthat are years ahead in keeping the privacy of stu-dents.

Foster homes cannot ex-ceed a maximum of six chil-dren and a maximum of fivefoster children.

Foster families must beable to understand, love,care for and accept a newchild into their family.

Comments and Reviews

‘Blindness’ a touchingmovie about relationships

Beautiful lavender fields and ancient plastercrusted buildings surround the town square as ayoung woman struts down the cobblestone path.

For weeks Jewish citizens of this town disappearedto an unknown fate and the citizens watched strang-ers closely.

The enemy slowly crept into this sleepy town thatshe had just arrived in by parachute the night be-fore. Is she the enemy?

Her mission seemed simple but proved disastrouswhen later that same day her cover is blown. Herjob as a spy in World War II Nazi-occupied Francejust got more complicated.

Charlotte Gray, played by Cate Blanchett, askedfor this mission inparticular to findher lover who wasshot down inFrance. She feltp a s s i o n a t e l yabout Franceovercoming theNazi party, butnot enough to goto war.

When the op-portunity arose tobecome a spy forthe British SecretService, shejumped at thechance.

The British Se-cret Service hiredher for her French speaking abilities and assignedher to a Nazi Resistance group as a courier.

Her contact through the Nazi Resistance group,Julien Lavade, played by Billy Crudup, helps herhide after her close call. Within a short amount oftime, the Nazi’s fully invade this small town.

As her determination grows stronger and hermission more intense, she questions why she reallywent to war in the first place.

She begins to wonder which side she is actuallyworking for when disaster strikes over and overagain.

The direction of “Charlotte Gray” is also echoedin Gillian Armstrongs previous works “Little Women”and “Oscar and Lucinda.”

This conflict-filled story is told through“Casablanca”-like eyes.

This film imitates the richness of the old black-and-white movies through character developmentand cinematography.

It is enjoyable to watch a beautiful movie such asthis that includes a deep story line and still man-ages to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Yet, this does not have the storybook ending thatthe audience may anticipate.

Blanchett shines asWorld War II spy

Watching “HystericalBlindness,” an HBO origi-nal movie, was painful. Butit wasn’t painfully awful. Itwas a painfully wonderful,real movie.

The plot revolves aroundbest friends Debby andBeth, as well as Debby’smom Virginia.

The women live in a work-ing class town in New Jer-sey, where love and goodmen are obviously hard tocome by.

Debby (Uma Thurman)and Beth (Juliette Lewis)spend their nights trollingfor men at Ollie’s, the localbar.

The film takes place in1987, which allows thecharacters to dress in fabu-lously trashy, barely-thereclothes; perfect for trying topick up drunks.

Debby finds Rick, theperfect man with “PatrickSwayze eyes” at Ollie’s. Shedoes every humiliatingthing possible to try andwin him over, including go-ing home with him aftertheir second encounter.

‘Madden’ tops once againBoom!EA Sports’ “Madden

2003” hit the shelves inearly August and has be-come an instant classic.

Looking at last year’sgame, improving the graph-ics from the previous yearwould have seemed impos-sible.

Impossible is obviouslynot in the Madden vocabu-lary, like so many otherwords he loves to overuse.

Already miles ahead ofthe competition, EA still im-proved the gameplay byadding multiple new fea-tures, mostly for defense.

Those features include astrafe button so the playercan keep the ball in frontof them, a coach’s cameraon defense so the playerknows his defensive assign-

Uma Thurman did a fan-tastic job with her charac-ter. She could have carriedthe film alone, although therest of the cast did a won-derful job as well.

Beth is a single mom whojust wants to have fun, andleaves her 10-year -olddaughter home alone everynight so she can live it upw i t hDebby.

Bethdoesn’tappearas des-peratefor at-tention as Debby. She ac-tually realizes what sheneeds to change about herlife and does it.

Juliette Lewis has beenone of my favorite actressesfor a long time. I would haveliked to see her charactermore developed and moreinvolved in the film. But shedid a lot with Beth and gavea great performance.

Perhaps the saddest storyof “Hysterical Blindness”was that of Virginia.

Abandoned long ago byDebby’s father, Virginiaworks to make ends meetwaiting tables at a diner.

One of her regulars startscoming in to the restaurantfor more than just the cof-fee, and soon Virginia findsherself in love.

As the film progresses, itbecomes apparent how all

of the characters and theirlives are connected.

Even Ollie’s plays a big-ger part than I originallythought. It’s a touching re-alization when made.

“Hysterical Blindness” isfunny, heartbreaking, yetfull of love. It is also highlyentertaining.

“Hysterical Blindness” iscurrently showing on HBO.

ments, a swat button toknock down incomingpasses as well as severalother options.

A fun mini-camp has alsobeen added to help playersperfect certain aspects ofthe game.

The player travels fromcity to city attempting toearn gold cups in areassuch as precision passing,pocket passing, tackledrills, corner punting andfield goal accuracy.

The mini-camp is an awe-some new feature thatkeeps the “Madden” fresh,instead of just playing thesame ol’ football game orfranchise mode each time.

New this year is theonline play where gamerscan play other “Madden”freaks around the country,provided your system isnear the computer.

“Madden” is available onall platforms, includingXBOX, Gamecube and thePlaystation 2.

Engineering studentsneed to be aware of somechanges that are takingplace in the calculuscourses they are requiredto take.

Chris Oehrlein, professorof mathematics at OKCCC,said the calculus sequenceof the past is slowly beingphased out so a new se-quence can be introduced.

“At the University ofOklahoma and the Univer-sity of Central Oklahoma,engineering students takethree hours of calculus asemester for four semes-ters,” Oehrlein said.

“At OKCCC, we had stu-dents taking five hours fortwo semesters, then threehours for one semester.”

Oehrlein said OU andOKCCC had an agreement

that the calculus sequencetaught at OKCCC wouldtransfer to OU without anyproblems.

However, the State Boardof Regents recently decidedthat OKCCC’s sequenceshould be the same as itstwo major transfer institu-tions.

“There will still be a slightdifference,” Oehrlein said.

“If students were to takethree hours [of calculus] asemester for four semes-ters, that would put thembehind on their othercourses, and they wouldn’tbe able to get an associatedegree in two years.

quired [for all children] tobe admitted to a day carecenter,” said Souza.

These immunizations in-clude Varicella, a chickenpox vaccine which starts atage one, and Hepatitis A se-ries starting at age two.

A parental history will beaccepted instead of a shot,if the child has already had

quences.“UCO is interested to see

how this eight-week thingworks out with us,” he said.

“It wouldn’t be as easy fora large institution to do

things the same way[OKCCC] does,” Oehrleinsaid.

“Due to our size, we havemore freedom to experi-ment with things like [these

Twenty-five clubs soughtstudent attention and in-volvement at the StudentOrganizations Fair.

“To be a successful stu-dent you have to be in-volved outside of classes,and the best way is to getinvolved in clubs,” saidMike Jones, coordinator ofstudent activities and pro-

motions.The common thread is

that all clubs would likestudents to know is thatjoining a club or organiza-tion can further their col-lege experience. By meetingfaculty members and fellowstudents they can get helpthat will guide themthrough their college ca-reer.

“It helps to be a part ofan organization with thesame long-term goals,” saidStaci Owen, Phi ThetaKappa public relations of-ficer.

Phi Theta Kappa is aninternational honor societywhich promotes leadership

development and commu-nity service. Membershipcan lead to scholarshipsand is a plus on transferapplications.
