CSU ENROLLMENT

84-85 85-86 86-87 87-88 88-89

Enrollment nears record for spring By Mei Pong Staff Writer Total enrollment at Central State University is projected at an all-time high for the spring sememster, Director of Admissions and Records Darrell Gilliland said. Enrollment as of January 17 was at 12,631, up 5.6 percent from the same time a year ago. Freshman enrollment was up 7.0 percent, and sophomore enrollment was up the highest with a 10.0 percent increase. Gilliland forecasts total enrollment to be close to 13,000, which will be a record spring enrollment. Total enrollment last spring was 12,746. "Our physical location, the nature of our schedule and the quality of our courses" are reasons that CSU continues to have a high rate of enrollment, CSU President Bill Lillard said. The largest enrollment this semester is in the business department, and the degree option with

the most students is accounting. "This is because more job opportunities are available in accounting than in other fields," said Joyce Navarre, adviser for accounting at CSU. With a high enrollment rate and a continuing high rate of transfer students from schools like the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University, CSU will continue to have a serious space problem, Lillard said. He hopes the university can get a general classroom building soon to solve the problem. The funds for the classroom building are not available in the budget and need to come from either the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education or through direct appropriation from the legislature, Lillard said. Phillip Arnold, assistant vice president for administration at CSU, said the increase in enrollment could result in a "high probability that we will get an equitable share in the funds."

No illegal involvement says Lillard

School officials respond to audit report This is the first part of a three part series in regard to an audit conducted by the State Auditor and Inspector's Office. By Valli Covert Managing Editor An investigative audit conducted by the State Auditor and Inspector's office has revealed some problems at Central State University, but none involve illegal handling of funds, President Bill Lillard said. The audit, which covered fiscal year ending June 30, 1987, raised some questions about accountability of funds that are handled by CSU and the Central State University Foundation. Joyce Mounce, vice president for administration, said some problems were found that the university was not aware of before the audit was completed. Mounce, who was not employed at CSU until Dec. 1, 1987, said one problem the audit pointed out was that the director of the South Central Safety Institute took money home for safekeeping. "(The safety institute) sometimes had workshops after the business office closed, and because of safety, the director (Lonnie Gilliland) was taking home the money," Mounce said. The problem has been corrected and the money is now deposited in a night deposit, she said. The athletic department ap-

peared hardest hit by the audit. The report indicates 22 student athletes' registration forms were scrutinized by the auditors. Eight had at least one class that was not on the university's list of scheduled classes. These students' permanent transcripts listed all of the approved classes, but the registration forms did not. The records were therefore incomplete, the report indicated. "The auditors did not understand about class schedules," Mounce said. Some of the classes may not have been in the schedules as a result of later class deletions or special or arranged courses, she said. The athletic department has also undergone some changes in the handling of scholarships since the audit was conducted, Mounce said. The audit found that problems existed with how money was used from an account to pay for nonresident tuition fees. It indicated that the money was taken from the wrong account and used to pay for those fees, said David Koehn, CSU's assistant comptroller. The problem is being looked into by the university administration. The physical plant also appeared to have problems. The audit noted that a total of approximately 6,730 hours of overtime for calendar year 1986 were worked by nine university maintenance

employees. The director of the physical plant, Nimrod Chapel, said the purpose of the overtime was for asbestos removal projects conducted by the maintenance department, according to the audit. One employee's timesheets documented 268.5 hours of overtime in one month in addition to his regular hours. Chapel also employed these same nine employees in his private asbestos removal business. The audit committee questioned whether there was a segregation of duties by Chapel since he also signed off the employees'

time cards. Mounce said that the audit committee never looked at the employees' actual time cards, and that the hours paid did not reflect the hours worked. If a person works more than 40 hours a week, he is paid at time-and-one-half for the overtime hours. The university pays the employee for one-half more hours than his time card indicates for any overtime hours, she said. It is a common practice to pay employees in this manner, and no one was paid more than was actually due him. "They looked at hours paid—not hours work-

ed—and misinterpreted," Mounce said. In response to the question of segregation of duties by Chapel, Mounce said, "There is no state law that prohibits him from doing that. As it happens, that year (1986) he did not have any jobs," in his private business. Chapel will no longer hire university employees to work in his private business. "He has saved this university thousands and thousands of dollars for being in-house because of his expertise," in asbestos abatement, Mounce said.

CSU student pleads guilty to drug distribution charge By Valli Covert Managing Editor A Central State University student has pleaded guilty in Oklahoma County District Court to a charge of distribution of a controlled dangerous substance. Donald S. Truitt, 26, of Bethany entered the blind plea to Judge John M. Amick on Jan. 11, said Clayton Niemeyer, a legal intern with the district attorney's office. Truitt and four other CSU students were arrested Dec. 7 on

campus by Edmond and campus police for suspicion of distribution of a controlled dangerous substance and have been charged in Oklahoma County court. Amick has ordered a presentence investigation to be done and set formal sentencing for Feb. 16. In a plea-bargain attempt, the district attorney's office had offered to recommend that Truitt receive a five-year sentence with four years to be suspended, but Truitt declined, Niemeyer said.

Truitt is free on bond pending sentencing. The preliminary hearing for Kenneth E. Hall, 33, of Wichita, Kan., has been continued until 9 a.m. Jan. 26. Steven Carr, 20, has had his preliminary continued until Feb. 13, court records indicate. James A. Clay, 18, of Jay and Kurt J. Wise, 19, will be in court Jan. 27. Clay and Wise will be able to plead at that time or will be bound over for trial, Niemeyer said.

Viewpoints The big question: How was break? By Mark Finley Editor Just a few thoughts on the new semester. Well, another semester is upon us. Time to clean out the notebooks from last semester and hope there is enough paper to use this semester so we need not buy another one. You try this trick every time, but the paper never does quite last all the way through. Does it?

Commentary The new spring semester, always brings the same questions by everyone when they see their classmates for the first time in a month. How was your break? Did you have a good Christmas? Here are some random answers. Recognize any of them? It was alright. Didn't do a whole lot. Watched television and ate. That's about it. Christmas was okay. I got some socks and a tie. Let's see, uh, oh yeah, I got the cat fixed and ate a lot. Christmas? It was a bummer. Everything I got I either didn't like or it didn't fit. I did get drunk on New Year's Eve

with my in-laws. Everybody had a good time until I got sick on my mother-in-law. Was she mad or what. That's a good question, man. (pause) Wow man, I don't remember. Can I get back to you on that, dude? I'm glad you asked. Well, first my girlfriend threw me a birthday party, then Christmas was great. It's nice to have a girlfriend this time of year especially if her family likes you. The reason is double the gifts you usually receive. It's great. We celebrated the new year with style and had a good time. But the best part came within a week's time after New Year's. I proposed to my girlfriend and she accepted. Then a couple of days later we found out we were going to have a baby. And just before I didn't think it could get any better, it happened. The new live "Rush" album was released. 14 of their best songs from their last five albums. Yes, I can honestly say it was a nice semester break. How was yours? Never mind. Don't ask. I totalled my car, my wife left me and ran off with my sister, my house got broken into and they got all of my "Grateful Dead" albums, the Sooners lost and I lost my job. Anything else you want to know? They got all of your "Dead" albums? My rich great-great grandmother died at the age of 102 and left me a million dollars. I'm just here to withdraw from school. With a million dollars, who needs college. I am out of here, man. Europe, here I come. Four weeks is too long for a break. I love school. I wish semester breaks lasted only a week, even less. I love the challenge of taking 24 hours in a semester. I enjoy getting up for 7:40 classes and going non-stop until my 1:40 class is over. Of course, there is a little let down at the end of the day, but it gives me something to look forward to for the next day. Well, my break consisted of "I Love Lucy" reruns and the daytime talk shows. That turned out to be pretty boring since Geraldo didn't go toe-to-toe with anyone. As usual, I did my Christmas shopping on the 24th and picked through all the leftovers. I got my brother a pair of purple and green striped socks. They matched the yellow slacks I got him last year perfectly. I got my mother that fruitcake she always says she likes. Have you ever noticed that at Christmas there is always plenty of fruitcake to buy? For my dad, I got him that pink and black tie that every man's wardrobe should have. I still can't understand why he was using it to tie down the tree to the car when we went to the city dump. I hope everyone's vacation went well, and that everyone is rested up for the new semester. Good luck everybody.

FouR MORE MONTHS Of PAIN AND SUFFERING

Cartoon enlightens reader To the Editor: Amid all the bickering on various subjects and negative comments we find in the The Vista, there are two bright lights that stand out-"Sid & Nancy."

Letter To me there is way too much sadness and anger in the news today. As you read the "Viewpoints" page with articles being criticized and articles being

defended, commentaries on this and rebuttals on that, you come to a comic strip that says it all. Everyone has or knows relatives or friends like these two, and what better way to laugh at ourselves than through "Sid & Nancy." My hat goes off to you Mr Kidwell for a job well done. It is exceptionally illustrated and tastefully done. This is something you can read and not find fault with or get angry at, except when I find "Sid & Nancy" missing from

the pages of The Vista. Then I do get very upset as The Vista knows because I always call to find out what happened to my cartoon friends. Please keep up the good work John, for we all need a "Sid & Nancy" to make life bearable especially in these hard times. If one loses his sense of humor, one can always find it again in "Sid & Nancy." Sherry Fleming

Reporters need faculty's help in makina the arade To the Editor: In writing this, I realize it will not be printed in The Vista until the spring semester. And though it doesn't help those News Reporting students in the past, maybe it will help those who are now and in the future.

Letter Overall, I enjoyed the News Reporting class. However, because one of the requirements for the class is that each student must write 30 stories in that

semester, I feel that we need more cooperation from the faculty, staff and administration to complete this assignment. I admit that some members have been more than helpful to the reporters, but some will not answer our phone calls or when we get to the offices we are told that "nothing is happening" only to find out later from another newspaper or the public information office that something DID happen. Then our instructor and editor look at us and ask why we didn't get the story. The Vista is trying to make im-

provements with each passing semester. The introduction of a laser printer and the additional staff will help the paper tremendously. There are some great plans, but we need the cooperation of the department heads and administration along with the rest of the faculty and staff. This is a plea for the reporters of the future on this campus to help them as much as possible by giving them prompt and accurate information. After all, it's their grade we're talking about.

Central State University students should have an easier time searching for periodical literature this semester, with the recent addition of the Expert Search feature to the library's Wilson disc system, said Deborah Willis, computer assistant reference librarian. The Wilson disc system is a computer system that allows users to search for periodical literature listed in the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature, the Business Periodical Index and the

Social Sciences Index, Willis said. Expert Search allows users to combine two research topics such as quarterhorses and pari-mutuel betting, for example, thus narrowing the search while saving time. The Expert Search system also has a "not" feature, which allows users to omit topics from a given category, Willis said. In addition, the library has a Luis computer catalog system, which lists all library contents, and an Eric system, which lists education-related research material.

New language course now offered at CSU By Kamal Mazlan

Staff Reporter Business German, a new course, is being offered by the foreign language department at Central State University beginning this semester. "CSU students need to have at least two semesters or 12 hours of German with decent grades to take Business German," said Dr. Gerhard Kallienke, course instructor. He added that the 3000-level course is "specifically for students who are planning to go into business and students who want to combine business skills with German language." The 3-credit hour course deals with German correspondence, business terms and specialized

German expressions. "It deals also with German culture so that American students can understand German habits a little bit more—what to do and what not to do. The culture aspect is especially important as it pertains to an understanding of German businessmen," Kallienke said. Kallienke is the instructor for the course which is scheduled from 5:30-7:20 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Dr. Ann Phillips, department chairperson, said the course will give students an opportunity to equip themselves with a business language skill that they might be able to use in their professional lives. The course will also enhance the business prospects of working

for or dealing with German companies in the United States. Kallienke organized the German work-study program when he was assistant professor at Central Washington State College. Kallineke said he plans to organize a similar program at CSU this spring. "I'll contact the German Labor Office again, and if everything goes according to plans, the first CSU students will leave for Germany in the summer of '89," Kallienke said. "The program is for anyone who has a little knowledge of German. Any student who is interested will fill out a one-page form that I'll make available in the early weeks of the spring semester," he said. Each form will contain a stu-

dent's name, age, description of job a student is looking for, and places they want to go in West Germany. After the applications are submitted, Kallienke will interview each applicant to determine

Ranging from computer graphics to Van Gogh, the presentations are scheduled each Wednesday and Thursday throughout the semester, said Rhys W. Roark, president of the Art Club.

"The Moving Still," a video featuring time lapse and strobe photography will be shown at 12:40 p.m. today in Room 116 of the Art Building, Roark said. Posters listing the dates and titles of the presentations will be placed at various locations around campus, Rourk said. The presentations are open to all CSU students and faculty.

Sports Fieldhouse floor receives face-lift By Mike Sullivan Sports Editor Central State cagers and fans alike will be treated to a newly refinished gymnasium floor tonight when they play Southeastern State University, as workers recently completed a month-long project of sanding, buffing, and painting. In addition to refinishing, more than one-third of the maple flooring on the east end of the fieldhouse had to be replaced due to leakage suffered last spring. "Yes, that leak was unfortunate," said assistant basketball

Thompson protests prop 42

The Central State men's and women's basketball teams will return to Broncho Fieldhouse tonight against Southeastern State University, after playing on the road for the past month. Two games in Hawaii, coupled with a tournament in California, have left the Bronchos with a 3-8 record and a longing for home. The Lady Bronchos have not fared much better, as they return home with a 4-6 record. Scheduled tip-off times for tonight's games are at 6 p.m. for the women and 8 p.m. for the men. CSU will continue its home stand with games Saturday against Angelo State and Monday against Abilene Christian.

Georgetown coach's walk-out lamented By Mike Sullivan Sports Editor First there was the debate on abortion. Then came surrogate parenthood and euthanasia. It now seems as if the next burning issue that will be debated to death, at least in sporting circles, is the recent amendments made to the NCAA Proposition 48 ruling.

Commentary Originally, Proposition 48 required incoming freshmen to score a minimum 700 on the SAT or 15 on the ACT or post at least a 2.0 grade average in a core curriculum, in order to receive financial aid. The amendment, Proposal 42, planned to go into effect in 1990, would require freshmen to attain a 2.0 grade-point average in a core curriculum, and a minimum score on one of the two standardized entrance exams in order to receive financial aid. Last weekend, in protest to the proposal, our 1988 Olympic basketball coach, John Thompson, walked off the court as his

Georgetown University team was ready to start a game. Thompson has repeatedly said that the socio-economic structure of the country and the education system is biased and blatantly racist. He contends that inner-city minority students do not receive the proper education in order to pass either entrance exam. Thompson is now certain that he will no longer be able to recruit the "competitive" athlete at the Catholic university where he coaches, and undoubtedly his walk-out was intended to start a national ground-swell concerning this issue. His team was playing the last place team in their conference, so some credit must be given to him for the timing of his walk-out. But when John Thompson insists on labeling the NCAA a racist organization, a time-out must be called. For several years Thompson has refused to recruit the white high school athlete. When an East coast reporter asked him last spring why he did not recruit the white student athlete, he replied, "Let them play baseball and tennis."

This is hardly an attitude a basketball coach at a major university should display, especially one with a religious affiliation such as Georgetown. Besides, if a student cannot maintain at least a 2.0 grade average in high school, maybe he has no business going to college. As Bobby Knight said last week, "College isn't supposed to be for everybody."

coach Joe Curl. "But the final results are absolutely beautiful. They did a great job in matching the flooring." Malone Flooring, a company specializing in gymnasium floors, worked day and night on the project, fighting a deadline that involved a schedule of various CSU winter sports. "We didn't know if they would be done on time," Curl said, "but they worked around the clock until it was finished. I'm sure it's in better shape now than it has ever been." Once the new flooring was installed, the entire gymnasium was sanded, then two coats of sealer were applied, before the intricate lines and logos were painted on. Several miles of masking tape were used to separate the familiar Broncho yellow and blue colors. "I think we'll probably go through 30 or 40 rolls on this job," said contractor David Malone. "This is an average size for a gymnasium. On our last job, we used twice as much masking tape and the whole thing took us three months." After the appropriate logos were painted on, two coats of a clear polyurethane were applied, a finish that Malone says should last for quite a while. "A finish like this should last for 10 to 12 years if it doesn't get rained on," he said. "And I know the roof doesn't leak anymore, because it's rained since we've been here.

Delegation to attend OIL at StateCapitol By Jerry Pierce Staff Writer A delegation representing Central State University will participate in the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature (OIL) at the State Capitol Feb. 22-26, said Jeff Aynes, delegation chairman. All accredited colleges and junior colleges within the state are eligible to send delegates to OIL, a mock legislature which draws up legislation ranging from state affairs to international affairs, Aynes said. "The purpose of OIL is an education process. Each school sends students to the session for the purpose of learning how state government really works. Many leaders of today have been involved either as students or advisers of OIL," Aynes said. OIL was founded 21 years ago by University of Oklahoma student Ron Shotts and Lt. Governor George Nigh, Aynes said. After legislation has passed in OIL, a bill digest containing the legislation is sent to Oklahoma legislators in Washington, D.C., as well as state legislators to be reviewed and considered, Aynes said. Applications may be picked up
