Enrollment anticipated to rise
•
By Terri Carpenter With one week left in the enrollment period, 10,889 students are enrolled, one percent less than the total enrollment last spring, according to figures released Monday. With enrollment ending Jan. 24, final enrollment is expected to surpass the enrollment of last spring, according to CSU President Bill Lillard. These figures show that CSU has adjusted to drastic budget cuts and that the students needs were considered first, according to Vice President of Academic Affairs James E. Perry. Perry said he is optimistic about the enrollment figures, since many classes had to be cancelled from the spring enrollment schedule. The budget cuts proposed by the legislature will affect CSU in many ways other than class cancellations. There is a freeze on salaries and hiring at CSU, staff travel has been curtailed or eliminated, and money for equipment and supplies has been drastically cut.
Budget cuts reduce June class schedule By Terri Carpenter This year's summer school class schedule will be cut in half due to a reduction of $500,000 in the summer school budget, according to Dr. James E. Perry, vice president of academic affairs. "We have given instructions to the deans to reduce the class schedule that they had prepared, by 50 percent," Perry said. After the adjustments are made, Perry said, the most "complete and student-oriented" class schedule that we could assemble" will be offered. "But when you have a cut-back
of 50 percent you are decimating a
class schedule. What we wanted to do is offer classes that are needed for graduation and general education classes that are needed by the majority of students, Perry said.

For some the recent snowfall was a chance to have a day off from school and enjoy a bit of sledding such as Trey Beasley, (pulling the sled), Shannon Raymer (middle) and Timothy Gillis.
Illusion designed by art students By Traci Baucom Associate Editor CSU art students are creating an illusion, a grand illusion, in the Deli on the fourth floor of the University Center. It all started last summer, according to Bill Wallo, professor of art, when Bob Fields, director of Auxilliary Enterprises, came to him and asked him to paint a mural on the east wall of the Deli. They decided to make the venture a learning experience. The class, studio and mural design, was offered last fall and again this semester. Last semester the students designed the prototype for their mural in the museum storage area of the art building. The design became a room and then an
This fiscal year ends in June and $250,000 will have to be cut then. Another $250,000 will be cut from the next fiscal year which begins in July, unless more funds are made available. On an overall basis, every school will be reduced 50 percent, but some departments within the schools may be reduced more, according to Perry.
atrium, lush with greenery, flowers, small trees and streams. The class, now consisting of six students—Doug Bowman, Mary Kay McCelroy, Mark Barker, Jerry Wittum, Jerri Guffey and John Finney, photographed the atrium then began their work in the Deli. The finished product, according to Wallo, will be be an illusion, a false reality. The mural represents a look through fictious windows on the east wall of the Deli onto the recessed atrium. On the opposite wall of the painted atrium are more ficticious windows which look out onto a fall landscape.
The deans of each of the schools were instructed to reduce their payrolls by 50 percent, said Perry. This reduction can be an "across the board 50 percent reduction" or a "selective reduction," distributing the reduction in a way that they think best meets the needs of the students. The administration has delegated approval of the reductions to the deans, but Perry and CSU President Bill Lillard will examine the deans' reduction choices, Perry said. "President Lillard likes to go through the class schedule, line by line, so that he has a good feel for the types of things that are being offered by the various departments in the schools, Perry said.

Last year's summer school budget was approximately $1 million. This summer only about $500,000 will be available, according to Perry.
"He (Lillard) has insisted that he be kept informed as to the expanse of the class schedule, any adjustments that are being made and any academic matter, said Perry. Vista photo by Michael Keen
For others, the snow only meant more work as David Mack of the maintainence department finds out when he was called out to shovel snow in front of Thatcher Hall.
Perry said more information on the summer school class schedule will be available when the deans complete the reductions and turn them into the academic affairs office.

TOEFL exam irks foreign students
Letter to the Editor: Presently, international students are required to accumulate a minimum of 550 points in the Test of English as a Foreign Language examination (TOEFL), by the Dean of Graduate Studies, in order to qualify for graduate credit in the M.B.A. program. This applies only to foreign students and not to the rest of the student body. From my point of view, this requirement is ill-concieved and prejudicial. Before an international student is admitted for an undergraduate degree at CSU, he or she is compelled to have a TOEFL score of not less than 500 points by the International Student Office. It is inconceivable and naive, in my opinion, to ask that same student to produce a minimum of 550 points in order to qualify for graduate credit. English is not meant for a particular race or a section of the universe. It is a global means of communication. What is good for the goose is equally palatable for the gander. Isaac Amobi Okolo
Textbook loss angers student Letter to the Editor: Think! If you feel that a book left in the classroom is unwanted or public property, you are wrong. There are lost and found sections in every department. Please use them. Ask yourself if the rightful owner deserves to lose a book that might have a value beyond the price. There are books with notations in them by a friend borrowed books or books of former family members. I know because I have lost two. Please, let us all turn in lost books or articles. You'll feel and the owner will feel great about the kind of people who are CSU students. Name witheld by request

Tax hike spurs position change By Matthew Driskill Editor To have a tax increase, or not to have a tax increase—that seems to be the question the state legislature is currently wrestling with. As the Appropriations Committee prepares a bill that, if passed, would trim $150 million from various state agencies, the governor has prepared a budget package that includes along with certain reductions, a tax increase. Or as the governor puts it—"A revenue raising measure." The measure, consists of a one and one-fourth sales and use tax increase, removal of tax exemptions on cigarettes, beer and alcohol and a 3.42 cent fuel use tax increase. The revenue these increases would generate, according to the governor, would amount to approximately $55 million in fiscal 1984 and approximately $270 million in fiscal 1985. The governor's measure would mandate that one cent of the sales tax increase would remain as a permanent fixture on the tax rolls while the onefourth left would expire in December of 1985 Now that a few of the facts are down, let me digress into first person and put in my two cents worth. Much to the glee of my friend Mike Sherman, I am changing my position on the tax increases and supporting them. Mike, the former editor of The Vista, and I went round and round last
semester about the issue of a tax increase. He felt that Oklahoma should raise its taxes because the budget cuts were affecting the educational system so badly and because Oklahoma ranks forty-ninth in taxes among the United States. I disagreed at the time beacause I didn't want to pay extra taxes and wondered where all the alleged surplus went. After looking around and finding out some of the facts, I am changing my position. As a student, I would rather pay an extra penny sales tax if it meant that some of the classes I needed this semester could be reinstated. I would rather pay an extra penny if it would help to keep some of the adjunct faculty employed and serving the university community. I would just rather pay the taxes so that I could see education in this state properly funded and know that I was receiving the best education I could for the money. Now I know that many out there probably disagree with me and that's fine. But let's take a look at the current problems that the revenue shortfall is causing and perhaps some of those who disagree will change their minds also. Here at CSU, classes for the spring semester had to be rearranged and almost, if not all the adjunct faculty was fired.
From the Editor... The staff at The Vista would like to welcome the students and faculty back to school for this semester and hopes that all had a good holiday break. As we all know, the budget cuts are starting to affect the entire university and it seems they will continue to do so for some time. Because of these cuts, the staff of the paper has suffered some losses and this has resulted in an increased workload for the rest. As a result, it will not be possible for
the staff to cover all the happenings on campus. In order that the staff may better serve the university community with our remaining resources, I would like to ask the different departments to send us a note from time to time to tell us what they may have going on so we keep the rest of the university apprised of everything. Hopefully, the legislature will soon straighten out the state's finances and give us all a bit of breathing room. Have a good semester.
This summer, all departments here will have to cut summer classes by 50 percent. Departments and services all over the campus are having to cut back because of a lack of supplies and are having to deal with increased workloads because the governor's hiring freeze will not allow them to fill vacant positions. And these are just some of the problems here. Think about the rest of the state's schools and all the other agencies and services the state provides and how the budget cuts are affecting them. Where will it all end? No one seems to know and right now the cuts have lot of people running scared and asking themselves if their job is next on the chopping block. Not only do the cuts have people worried, but the lagislature is receiving a bad rap because they don't want to cut their salaries. Come on guys, everybody has to sacrifice, so why don't you chip in and join the rest of us in cutting back. Hopefully, we can all weather these times of belt-tightening and come out of them a little wiser and a little leaner. And if you still want to gripe about the tax increase, talk to Mike, he'll tell you all about it and it just might change your mind.

Colleges regulate frats Rules took effect at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., Sunday ordering a periodic check on whether organizations should remain single-sex; all new groups must be coeducational. At Amherst College in Amherst, Mass., the board of trustees is expected to decide Feb. 25 what to do about the all co-ed fraternities. "Misbehavior and vandalism seem to take a disproportionate amount of the administration's time," Amherst spokesman Douglas Wilson said Sunday. At Southwest Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, Mo., a hearing will be held today on Sigma Tau Gamma—suspended after being accused of hazing students last week.
Troops answer attack in Beirut The battleship New Jersey and an American destroyer shelled artillery positions in the hills east of the capital Sunday after an attack on U.S. Marines ignited a fuel depot and forced closure of Beirut airport, a Marine spokesman said. No Americans were wounded in the fighting, said Maj. Dennis Brooks, a Marine spokesman in Beirut. Brooks said Marines at the eastern and southeatern portions of the airport came under "intense 23mm antiaircraft fire". According to Brooks, the three-hour battle ended at about 6:30 p.m. local time. He did not say how many rounds the ships fired. Sunday was the first time Beirut airport was hit since Lebanon's warring factions declared the facility a "neutral zone" in an agreement reached in Damascus, Syria, last Dec. 16.
State lottery opposed Will a lottery be the salvation of state government's financial woes? No way, say opponents to the idea, contending it will never be accepted by a majority in this Bible Belt state. But one lottery bill already is in the legislative pipeline, and an eastern Oklahoma lawmaker, Rep. Bill Lancaster, D-Wagoner, says he will introduce another public wagering proposal Monday in the House. "If horse racing could win, I don't know why a lottery wouldn't," Lancaster said.

Jerry Wittum works on the unfinished mural in the Deli restaurant in the University Center. Shown here is the window overlooking the atrium with more windows and a fall landscape painted into the background.
Mural continued from page 1
Small panels, painted to resemble a brick wall, separate the larger landscape from two doors installed on the wall by the class. The doors open to another illusion, one of stairs leading down to a balcony with CSU landscape painted into the background. "We want to create a three dimensional effect," Wallo explained, "a feeling of an early fall morning outside the atrium with an artificial spring garden inside. "This is elaborate fun," Wallo said. "We are creating moods and constantly fabricating. It is a great social situation. "We seem to be confusing people who come into the Deli," Wallo said. "People want to
Play leaves sour taste The current production of `Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf,' being produced by the Oklahoma Theater Center is a sleeper and not the play to see if one is looking forward to an exciting evening on the town. The acting abilities of the cast are mediocre at best, except for one, Randall White who portrays George, the nitpicked husband, who stood apart from the rest of the players. White at least gives some, credibility to his role, whereas the others are simply drawing a check from the theater company for a poor performance. Karen Baker, in the role of Martha, daughter of the college president and wife to George, just simply overplays the boisterousness the part calls forand seems to delight in nauseating the audience. All in all, about the only good thing to be said about the entire production is that there are several good watering holes in the vicinity to get the bad taste out of your mouth after seeing the play.
know why we blocked the door to the next room. We didn't block a door, we just added one to the wall. "People see us painting the brick wall and want to know why the mortar between some of the
bricks is white and some isn't. Imagine their confusion when we tell them that the bricks aren't really brick. Wallo estimates the mural will be completed by the end of this semester.

Exhibiting some of the body/mind coordination techniques of Kung Fu, Han instructs a student in kicking and blocking. Han has earned a sixth degree black belt in Kung Fu and a fifth degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
Student devotes life to Kung Fu By Traci Baucom Associate Editor "Kung Fu is my life," Gyyoung Han, CSU real estate major, explains. "My life philosphies follow Kung Fu philosphies." Born and raised in Seoul, Korea, Han began studying the martial arts at the age most Korean boys and girls do, when he was 3 years-old. He first became interested in Tae Kwon Do and later, at age eight, began to study Kung Fu. He has been practicing the martial arts for 21 years, earning a sixth degree black belt in Kung Fu and a fifth degree black belt in Tae Kwan Do. Han owns one Tae Kwon Do and two Kung Fu gymnasiums in Korea which support his education. He chose the United States for his higher education because real estate is a new "science" in Korea and not fully researched. Central State was recommeded by a Korean pastor currently living in Oklahoma City. Han explains that Korean boys and girls begin practicing the martial arts at a very young age because it teaches them discipline, bravery, coordination of mind and body and keeps them healthy. "Kung Fu was created in 425 B.C. by an Indian monk living in China," Han said. "The monk combined yoga with the movements of the tiger, the dragon, the jaguar, the crane and the snake to form Kung Fu." "Kung Fu teaches two disciplines," Han went on to say. "The first one is—always practice. The second one is—practice very hard." "Kung Fu is very similar in philosphy to Buddhism because it originated in India and China. They have the Yang and Yin theory. Yang is similar to the sun, it is hard. Yin is like the moon, it is soft. There are two kinds of Kung Fu. I have learned both, but I teach Yin style." "Kung Fu is similar to water," Han explained. "Karate and Tae Kwon Do are like fire. Fire burns everything. Water will usually flow around things—rocks in the middle of streams, mountains, trees—water won't try to eliminate things. "The real heart of Kung Fu is that you must recognize everything, even your enemy. Other arts, especially karate, are always break, break. Kung Fu is a
compromise, it is the middle. "This means that even though you have a strong power, you should never show it," Han said. "Once your power is recognized or exposed you are at a disadvantage. Someone will always attempt to better it. You must always show your power to be weak. "People always want to fight if they know that you are powerful. They will rise to the challenge. If you hide your real power you can avoid conflict." "If you have a very strong power you can hit someone lightly and kill them. It is always better to walk away from a fight. "I teach that principle to my students. I tell them to practice Kung Fu to avoid fighting." Han explains that his strength comes from an inner power called 441(1,
"Ki is a body, mind and breathing power," Han said. "An internal power is an inner strength and sensitivity based on the principle of Ki. This means that all the energy in the body must be concentrated at one focal point." This focal point is about three thumb widths below the navel and is called the "Sea of Internal Power", according to Han. Concentrating your thoughts, energy and breathing to this area will increase a person's overall power, making the person less vunerable, Han explained. When Han breathes, his abdomen moves, not his chest. Han's instructor in Korea, Sifu Wang (sifu means teacher), is the Grand Master Big Dipper Pa Gu A in Korea and is of the old school that doesn't believe in "degrees" of belts. According to Han, Kung Fu did not have a ranking system until 1968 when the western world
discovered it and immediately wanted a system of checking or rating their ability." Han says that Americans just want Kung Fu to teach them to be better streetfighters, ignoring the philosphies that make Kung Fu what it is. And they want to learn fast. He has been offered much money to teach a person Kung Fu in two months. "I can teach someone to fight in two months, but Kung Fu takes much longer," Han said. "You need at least a year just to get your body ready to practice Kung Fu. This is the level of a first degree black belt. Learning to recognize and use your internal power takes much more time." Han graduated from his master coaching class in 1980 making him ineligible for competition. Since he is unable to compete here, he teaches classes. His biggest problem thus far has been finding a place to teach his classes. Last fall, he taught two classes a week in front of the Broncho Field House. But that turned out to be a problem, too. "It can be very dangerous to teach Kung Fu outdoors," Han explained. "Spectators watch for a while then leave, thinking they have mastered the art of Kung Fu. Later when they try to use the skills, they can get hurt because they did not learn properly. Yes, it can be very dangerous." Han teaches four principles to his students: forget speed, forget body size, forget distance and forget body power. "A person doesn't need any of those things if they have a strong internal power, a lot of Ki energy," Han said. "This is how a small woman can overpower a big man. First she must forget her size and strength limitations."
Gyyoung Han demonstratesKung Fu to Suk Sok Young (middle) and Hong Kim Jin (right) in front of the Broncho Field House last semester. Han describes these outdoor demonstrations as "dangerous".
Chemistry professor succumbs to disease Dr. Merle White, professor of chemistry at CSU died Thursday evening at his home in Edmond after a year long bout with cancer. Services were held for Dr. White on Monday at Edmond Road Baptist Church. According to David Hart, dean of science and mathematics, White discovered he had cancer of the colon in the winter of 1982 and as a result did not teach during the spring semester of 1983. "Dr. White returned to CSU in August of 1983, but suffered a reccurance in early September and was forced to leave his duties at the university," Hart said. Dr. White first came to CSU in 1969 as a member of the chemistry department. According to Hart, White taught all types of chemistry but his specialty was physical chemistry.

Religious writings lead student around world By MaryGaye Franklin Associate Editor For some people, work is one of the most enjoyable aspects of their life. Such is the case of CSU graduate student and author, Gladys Lewis. "I have always written ever since I was little kid no matter what else was going on I was always writing something," Lewis said. Lewis, who received her undergraduate degree in psychology from Texas Christian University, is working on her masters degree here in the creative writing department. In the past she has had numerous articles and books published in English and Spanish and hopes to have many more in the future.
"All I really want to do in the future is write books, one right after the other," Lewis declared. Besides writing, Lewis, a native Oklahoman, has been involved in a wide range of activities all her life. From being a wife and a mother of four children, to being a registered nurse and serving 10 years as a Baptist missionary with her husband in Paraguay. Lewis has always been active in the Baptist church and her deep religious beliefs are reflected in her writings. Many of her stories and articles deal with people and religion. Recently Lewis was invited by the Billy Graham organization to come to Alaska in February to do a devotional address for the planning stages of a crusade that is being coordinated for Anchorage.

"I think it is very nice that they asked me to speak and I am pleased and honored by the invitation," Lewis said. In 1959 Lewis and her husband Wilbur, were appointed as missionaries by the Baptist church to a Baptist Mission hospital in Paraguay, South America. In 1960 they moved to a small town in Paraguay called Asuncion and remained there until 1970. "I am kind of a blend of idealist and pragmatist and I wanted to do something that counted." While in Paraguay, the Lewis' stayed very busy. Wilbur Lewis as a doctor/surgeon in the local mission hospital and Gladys Lewis in many and varied roles around the community. Lewis had her first book published by Convention Press in 1968. " It was a children's book called, Esther Buys a Bible. It was about little Latin-American girl who learned to make a piece of lace to earn money so she could buy her grandmother a bible," Lewis said. Her second book was a Spanish language version of Esther Buys a Bible. Lewis wrote and edited a number of items during her time in Asuncion. One of these was a monthly hospital publication call-

ed Hoplita for which she was editor. In 1973, three years after her return from Paraguay, Lewis decided to leave her full time career in nursing. "So when I decided that I couldn't maintain the hours of nursing as a double career with four children I just sort of expanded into freelancing. That became as much full-time as I wanted it to be at the time." "I did a column for five years for a magazine called News and Reports. The title of the column was, Out of the Frying Pan (not for women only)," Lewis said. "I put the not for women only, to indicate that it covered a wide spectrum of issues. Lewis did a column for the Oklahoma County Medical Society Auxiliary County Bulletin and edited a publication called Sooner Physician Heartbeat. Five years ago Lewis decided it was time to do more with her writing talents. She saw Cliff Warren, director of the creative writing department at CSU, on television and had heard about the writing program here and decided to investigate, hoping that she would be able to get into the program. "At that time that I was beginning to reassess what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. My

children were growing up and I didn't want to be a perennial volunteer. I wanted to do something more substantive," Lewis said. "I felt I needed to get my degree to give me more creditability academically." Lewis put together a portfolio of her writings to demonstrate her style to publishers and started knocking on doors. At the same time she came to CSU to apply for admission into the creative writing program and was accepted. She included in her portfolio a number of story ideas for things she would like to write. Broadman publishers, known for their religious publications, liked her style and chose two of her story ideas for her to go to work on immediately. The book titles were On Earth As It Is, and Mrs. Minus. On Earth As It Is is currently on bookstore shelves and Mrs. Minus is in committee at the publishers. "I got the title for On Earth As It Is from the Lord's prayer and it is about the decade we spend in South America and the people there," Lewis said. "It is pretty much a people book in context arid it has the structure of the prayer imagery you get from the title On Earth As It Is. My focus is on the human aspect of this spiritual dimension and of the benefits of this kind of relationship with other people. "My point is that my responsibility is here on earth as it is and I don't worry about heaven." According to Lewis, "I also wanted to dispell the concept of missionary identification as being so other worldly and super spiritual that they are not really in touch with daily ordinary routine."

CSU grapplers fall For the CSU matmen, the worst moves took place off the mat last Thursday night, as Cal Poly-San Luis snatched a 23-19 victory at Broncho Fieldhouse. The visiting Mustangs gave up 12 points in forfeits before the match began, but coach Vaughan Hitchcock eased the hurt with his choice of weights to give up. Hitchcock, after careful consideration decided to avoid threetime NAIA All-American Bennie Coleman at 177 pounds. As the home team, CSU sent
Coleman to the mat first. Roger Sayles who was boosted up a weight needed only one minute to pin Marty Johnson, freshman, who was wrestling his first for the Mustang team. Hitchcock said that if they hadn't needed the points, he would've wrestled him at 177 and matched him against Coleman. The Bronchos won only one match but were able to earn a pair of draws against the two best wrestlers on the Mustang team.

The Oklahoma Christian Eagles outscored CSU in a District 9 men's basketball game 75-64, Thursday night in the OCC gym. It was the third time these two city area NAIA teams have met, with CSU winning both games. But with this victory it appears that OCC is heading up, while the Broncos are heading down. The win improves OCC's record to 6-15 with the help of two wins over the holidays. The Broncos have dropped to 7-9 and have lost four straight out of the last six games. Although CSU started quick, taking a 13-7 lead five minutes into the game, the Eagles scored 12 straight points to take a 23-17 lead at the 8:40 mark. Ffom that point on the Eagles trailed no further, but by intermission the Bronchos had managed to clip the margin to 42-38.

With 8:55 remaining in the game, the Eagles held their biggest lead with a score of 67-47. The Bronchos were able to tighten up the game, but the overall outcome was not surprising. Chris Roper scored 14 points for CSU, the high for the team. Phil Giachino was the only other player to score in the double figures, adding 11 points to the total score, and 12 rebounds. Starting guard Keith Russell, who missed the first 10 minutes of the game because he missed a practice, was held to six points. The Bronchos are operating without the help of Chuck Kersgietpr, , CSU's leading scorer. Playing without Kersgieter has been tough, according to CSU's coach Buddy Armstrong. Collis Clark scored 22 points for the Eagles, while C.J. Johnson's efforts landed his team 14 points. Tony Malone had 10 points and seven rebounds for the winning team, and coach Dan Hays saw his victory as a result of his defensive play.

Grappling Shorts... Busy weekend planned: Coach David James is looking to solidfy his lineup in preparation not only for the upcoming schedule, but also to begin establishing a national tournament team Thursday: Athletes in Action, a wrestling team sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ, will take on the Bronchos in an exhibition match. Friday and Saturday: The Bronchos will be at the Southwest Missouri Invitional at Springfield, Mo. The tournament will feature 16 teams, including Big 8's Missouri, Eastern Illinois, SIUEdwardsville, Nebraska-Omaha, Northwest Missouri, Augustana, SD. and number 10 ranked WisParkside. Ranking matches: Ranking matches will take place this week at the 150, 158 and 190-pound weights as Caoch James begins putting together the 1984 national tournament team. Ricky Langland and Mark F. Allen will battle for the 150-pound spot while Jack O'Conner and Scott Hulsey will fight it out for the 158 job. Clint Colson and Marty Johnson will vie for the 190-pound position. CSU has already established wrestlers at the other weights. They are: Mickey McGowan at 118; Joe Starzenski at 126; Darren Huff, 134; Ronnie James, 142; Gary Astle, 167; Benny Coleman, 177; and James Welch, heavyweight. As host for the national tournament, CSU will be allowed to take five wrestlers to the NAIA meet in addition to those that qualify. This means the Bronchos will be taking a full 10 wrestlers this year. Injuries: Gary Astle looked like a mummy with all the tape he wore on his match against Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo's Anthony Romero. But even with a sore wrist, hyperextended elbow and ailing knee, Astle is not expected to miss any action. Benny Coleman injured a thumb in the Sunshine Open, but seems to be getting stronger everyday and is not expected to miss any action either. Scott Hulsey is still bothered by an ankle injured before the holidays,but should give Jack O'Conner a good fight for the 158 ranking match.
