NCA team to revisit campus in November By Kim McConnell First in a series In November, CSU will become a focal point when a North Central Association (NCA) team returns to campus to complete an interim report in response to the major weaknesses cited in their spring, 1979 review. According to this report, it is also the responsibility of this team to "review and designate the time of the next comprehensive evaluation." When the NCA evaluation team visited the campus in they found enough trouble spots to warrant only a five-year extension of accreditation, with the team instructed to return in three years to check campus progress. Accreditation is normally awarded for 10 years. This interim report cited three major weaknesses, according to Anne Lynch, Faculty Senate president, including the lack of faculty participation in government, limitations in selfevaluation and research, and academic leadership faults, particularly in the office of Vice President for Academic Affairs.
"This is to be a focus report, which means it will look at just those three points," Lynch emphasized. "The (Faculty) Senate is concerned with the faculty partipation in government." Although it has been almost 31/2 - years since the NCA team visit, Lynch said she has seen very little overall progress made on her end. "There has been no significant change in faculty organization or responses. We have had a dayto-day operational change, but no structural change," she said. New committees have been added to the list, but several have problems that have not been solved. "Most (existing committees)
were not meeting when the NCA team was here," lynch said. 'Some are pretty active now, but some organizations are not very good." According to Lynch, one committee is chaired by a member of the administration who, as leader of the group, has the power to veto any legislation the group may propose. The chairman also controls appointments to subcommittees. "Faculty cooperation is in a fairly passive position," Lynch said. "If he is not interested, the committee is helpless. Some are not happy with the way the committees are run." Lynch also cited as an example the group` planning for the 80s,"
an organization formed at the State level to deal with state education problems. "We have the people on it. They held one meeting. The committee at the state level is not dynamic," she said. To counterwiegh the bad points, Lynch said that some progress has been made at the faculty level. Members of the reserch councils are now elected rather than appointed. There have also been moves toward the self-evaluation and planning weaknesses by instituting student evaluations as part of the total concept of evaluation. "The student forms are a small part of the full evaluations," she said. "We evaluate the chairmen
of our departments, although not the deans or the vice presidents. We also didn't evaluate the president this year." "We're also proposing the have a full faculty evaluation of the faculty senate," she adeed. Lynch felt that the 1979 NCA evaluation "pretty well" reflected the situation as it then existed. "The people who investigated thought the people at CSU would have no problem solving the weak points, she said. "Three years down the road, we should have a lot to show. We should have a package wrapped with ribbon on it. We have the resources we need to solve every problem they have here.
Personal freedom great shock By Kim MiConnell "The greatest shock to me was the personal freedom. In the streets of Shanghai, they were wearing blue jeans!" said Carl Reherman, mayor of Edmond

and administrative assistant to President Bill Lillard. Reherman was one of 33 educators from Oklahoma higher education institutions who toured China last semester. The 15-day trip was coordinated through the office of the State Superintendant of Schools, Dr. Leslie Fisher. "A year ago, Chinese delegates came to Oklahoma to look at our education programs with the hope of upgrading their programs. They were looking at our successes and failures," said Reherman. Perhaps the greatest impression China left on Reherman was the sheer number of people. "There are one billion people in China. That's 31/2 - times the size of the U.S.," he said.
"There is little in the way of hostility ," Reherman added. "You don't hear Chinese raise their voices to one another." China is a country trying to emerge from the past and, Reherman said, the U.S. might be able to play an important role in that movement. "They are determined to upgrade their lifestyle. They need the U.S. as a very necessary passport to a more secure future. I would hope to take advantage of that, ' Reherman said. "It is to our best advantage to make friends. They need our technology, we need to invest in manpower that is disciplined." Reherman has several favorable observations about education in China. In Shanghai, for exam-
ple, students in mid-high school, grades six through nine, are required to work at least one hour a day in the school factory. "It creates good work ethics," said Reherman. While China is similar to the U.S. in their academic programs, their Vo-Tech programs are very primitive. Reherman, however, foresees some problems when China becomes more industrialized. "Unless China undergoes a massive fussion, they will have a very difficult time adopting to technology. If there is more technology, there is less need for manpower," he said, adding that Chinese society is left to deal with the "98" people put out of work.

Opinion Page Ambition driving force To the Editor: "It is not high aim but low aim that is a crime." This old saying shows that from time, ambition has been basically acknowledged as virtue. Yes, there is ordinarily nothing wrong with ambition. Ambition is the propelling force behind most successes. Ambition has pure and simple definition — the desire to achieve a particular end. This is an all-embracing definition since most times ambition is thought of in terms of position, power and fame. Much as ambition cannot be measured physically and precisely, it, like success, can at least be graded. Of course, the two go hand-in-hand — the former supporting the later — hence the distinction A-rated or B-rated actor. On the other hand, ambition, if achieved, has cast off its abstract clothing and could be "seen" or at least "felt" . Hence one "sees – what is between rising from a peanut farmer to a state governor and thence to Mr. President! Ambition can be categorized into legitimate or positive, sinister or negative, and pure day-dreaming or passive. It could also be looked at this way — normal, mad, and wishful thinking.
Enrollment continues CouNSEL6Rs LINE FORMS 4-HE RE
Add to the above the inside and outside obstacles to the realization of ambition and one gets a clear picture of the folly of some ambitions. Take for instance the case of one who "dreams" about becoming the president of a country, but does not know that he has to choose between this "dream" and his foreign wife. This is aside from the fact that this person has the most warped sense of value! What of one who wants to become a cardiologist, but could hardly make a passing grade in chemistry I? This is apart from the fact that the person has neither the discipline nor the vision to achieve this ambition.

What of ambition based on treachery, vendetta and even blood? Sure enough, apart from suffering the same fate as Macbeth, one with such mad ambition has the sword of Democles hanging over his or her head. Yes, there is ordinarily nothing wrong with ambition. But when ambition is based on stark ignorance and vanity, it becomes a nuisance.

very important function. After all, it is this branch of government that makes our laws — actually drafts them from a minute idea and transmits them into actual being. But what about that select group that enforces, or tries to enforce, these laws on the mass of humanity with the help, or hinderance, of the judicial system? What about the police officers, the "cops" who bust their tails daily for practically nothing, pay wise that is. Don't our officers deserve much more than they get?
Police officers and their families live with the constant fear they could be killed any time they put their badge on. Isn't it ironic that those people who make the laws our police officers are expected to enforce work in relative safety with more than adequate pay? These people don't live with the constant fear they may one day walk up to a car or suspect on the street and have their life violently ended by a terrified or sadistic murderer. Sure, these legislators live with a possible suspicion something may happen, but neither they nor their families live with the knowledge that every time they put on a badge, they become a target.
Many police officers are worth more to their families dead than alive. Not only is this type of high risk job worth much more money, but very few jobs can equal the mind-boggling stress it provokes on the police officer as well as their families, particularly the families. It seems to be a sad fact of life that police officers are worth more dead than
alive. Many agencies have good insurance policies set up to take care of the family of a police officer if something goes wrong. After all, someone has to take care of their own.
Is less than $600 a month worth dying for? One of the most common complaints against cops is that they are all crooked. There can be no doubt that this is true to some extent. One only has to read the daily newspapers across the country or sit and listen to the citizens of a town to find out. Much may be malicious or ignorant rumor, but there is still that grain of truth. Some cops are not fit to wear a uniform.
Raising the salaries to a decent living level would go far to alleviate some of the problems. Better pay and benefits would attract those citizens who would honor their uniform. Too, cops on the "take" would have less reason to accept bribes, and maybe they would not.
Politicians need to support the people who enforce their laws. Politicians run on a platform geared to attract voters. How about running on a platform to support those who try to enforce the laws our politicians make. How about supporting police officers for a change?
Kim McConnell
Words like atomic energy: need careful consideration To the Editor: The word, the spoken word, is very powerful! No wonder orators and those who know how to use words very well can turn a mass into mutiny and rage. Great thinkers and philosophers alike agree that words have powers. Words arranged in certain forms and chanted at particular hours of the day and night can produce instantaneous effects on people and objects. It is recorded in the scriptures that God created the world by mere words. "And the Lord God said, Let there be light and light was made." Also, words can make the most stiff-necked of all the women to succumb. Words have powers and should be weighed, reweighed, and used carefully. Words used carelessly or abused bring
dishonor and malediction to the user, but words unabused bring honor and praise. Most of the greatest conflicts in history were caused by mere exchange of words. Today, words, mere spoken words, still cause conflicts. Pride, enviousness, words and conflict are cousins. Perhaps if there were no pride, if words were weighed, reweighed and used carefully, there would be no conflict. Maybe, there would have been peace and harmony within me, within my cubicle, within the student bodies, among students, in Central State University, Oklahoma and the world. Words have powers like the atomic energy and should be weighed and reweighed before use.

Students of Dr. Hall Duncan will get "hands on" experience in advertising by manufacturing ideas for ads for South Park City, a museum in Fairplay Colo. Carol Davis, director of the museum, came to CSU Tuesday to take suggestions. "Duncan visited the museum with the suggestions," said Davis. "I talked to the board and since advertising is not a strong suit, we decided to go ahead with the ideas. We have no advertising background on the board," added Davis. South Park City is a reconstructed "town" located in Parkview 85 miles from Denver and one mile up. "The museum consists of historic buildings, previously located in the community that have been moved to the museum site and restored. "We try to do as little work as possible," said David. "We also try to keep the contents like they would have been." The "town" consists of 30 original buildings, each housing an appropriate exhibit. According to Davis some of the buildings date as far back as 1850. All
except one were moved intact. Many buildings were moved from the "town" of Fairplay, but one, the newspaper, was moved 45 miles when it was relocated. "The stage stop was the hardest building to move," said Davis. "It was located in Musquete Pass, the highest in the state. The worst one to move was the general store. It had deteriated so that it had to be dismantled and reassembled like a jigsaw puzzle. It is nearly complete." The reason the foundation was founded was a simple one. "So many buildings were disappearing," said Davis. Wood left standing is weathered by the sun, snow and the rain. The buildings were disappearing one board at a time." There were mixed reactions when the museum was opened in Fairplay. "I thought a good many were in favor of it, but some thought they were loosing business when the museum went in." Now CSU will be a part of the advertising for South Park City. Students will send their ideas to South Park.

Six students enrolled in Advertising Design, a course designed for actual work with an advertising agency, instructed by Dr. Hall Duncan, professor art and advertising, were awarded for their participation in a public relations campaign for the American Cancer Society. The team of Michael Ard and James Lambertus received cash awards for their campaign "Helping Cancer Victims Now." The other team of Cindi Teel, Eric Davis, Tammy Parker and Cherrie Gragg used — Fighting to Conquer Cancer in Your Life Time" as their theme. The students, working with bill boards, posters, radio and television advertising, emphasized the need for public involvement in the Oklahoma division of the society and the many services offered to Oklahomans.
"With the outstanding work done by these students, we hope to increase awareness about the variety of services available," said Pat Kelly, director of public relations for the American Cancer Society." The campaigns presented by these students will be submitted to the Public Information Com-
mittee, at the national office in New York, where the slogans and creative ideas can be examined and possibly adapted, Kelly said. The entire class worked on the campaign for several weeks, as part of the practical experience, before making a formal presentation.

The workshop, which will meet from 6 to 9:30 p.m. March 22 through 26 in the Liberal Arts Auditorium. has been designed to prepare both interviewers and interviewees for the sometimes stressful job interview, said Doug Duke, one of the instructors. Duke, director of debate , for the oral communication department. will share the teaching load with Dr. Max Davis, professor of oral communications. The workshop, not listed in the

regular spring class schedule, follows a developing trend in short courses, Duke said. The ,:.ost of the workshop is $15 and those interested should enroll by regular procedure in the Admissions Building. "There are a lot of small areas that don't justify extensive coverage but are still important."• stated Duke. "This small workshop format lets us delve into it. — The workshop on interviewing is the second such 'mini-class' the department has developed. Another, offered during the past two autumn semesters. was on assertive communication, Duke said. Others being developed for the future include male-female communication, listening and family communication. The workshop on interviewing is not designed to develop specific skills as it is to develop an awareness of the need to home skills already in the student's repertoire. Duke said. The teachers hope to use videotape to give those attending the call a deeper awareness or how they affect others in an interviewing session. Practice interviews will be taped and played back to the students. Enrollment will be limited to 40 students.
made and the popular songs with their optimistic lyrics hold out a promise of happiness. "Pennies From Heaven" concerns the yearnings, the mishaps, the adventures of a sheet music salesman as he tries to make the lyrics of the songs he carries in his briefcase become reality. His efforts are offset by a life marked with failure, lust, deceit and injustice. Yet, for brief moments his dreams and the dreams of those closest to him do come true. In his mind the people and locales are transformed from bitter grimness of the day into a moment of fantasy filled with lavish musical numbers. "Pennies from Heaven" is not a re-make of the 1938 Bing Crosby film. Rather, it is a highly stylized, unprecedented film extravaganza that blends music
and drama into an eventful motion picture experience. "Pennies From Heaven" in the true tradition of all the great MGM musicals, has an unforgetable score. Using the original recordings of the songs of the 1930's in novel ways, more than two dozen popular songs of the day are featured. Never used as just atmosphere, each major musical number is fully choreographed and filled with the excitement reminicent of the tap dancing spectaculars of Hollywood's Golden Age. The songs, with their easy, toetapping rhythms and poetical lyrics, provide a fanciful method of looking at life as Steve Martin, Bernadette Peters, Jessica Harper and Christopher Walden, in a special guest-starring appearance, make their castlesin-the-air come to life through the melodies and lyrics of the nostalgic music.

Although most companies are seeking graduates in fields like accounting, management and computer sciences, Wagnon advised all graduating students to start a file at the University Placement Office. •'A placement file may be easier to compile than a resume and some employers will request it," said Wagnon. The success rate of the Placement Office if difficult to deter-
mine because of student response to post-graduation questionnaires, said Wagnon. But he said many students using the office's services are able to obtain employment. Several factors to consider when searching for a job are willingness to relocate, chances for promotion, benefits and amount of travel time required. "Some companies promote employees within the organization. Others bring people from the outside," said Wagnon. "A liberal hospitalization plan and salary protection in case of a catastrophe are common benefits and you should ask specifically about them." The CSU Placement Office is a service to CSU students and alumni. Interviews are scheduled by appointment only. If the company is unable to come to the campus. the office can assist students or alumni in contacting the

Sideline antics steal show An aspect of sporting events at CSU that often goes unnoticed is the 'sideline' antics of mascots, organizations and occasional over zealous fans. Whether it's entertainment, or
annoyment these performers can one from OCC, as well as hambe spotted at almost every sport- ming it up quite a bit. ing event across the nation. The Fillies seldom get tangled At CSU, Buddy Broncho has while performing their dance been known to tangle with an oc- routine which has been known to casional Eagle or two, like the attract more than an occasional
stare from the male species. Even miled mannered wrestling coach Eddie Evans steals the show on occasion, while assistant coach Bob Drebenstedt can usually be found shouting encouragement from the bench. But the real performers remain the CSU athletes who give 100 percent to maintain the Broncho pride.
Average writing caused creation of seminar Business newswriting, a seminar to be offered for fall 1982 at CSU, is a specialty in more demand than any other type of news reporting, said Dennie Hall, assistant professor of journalism. "Just look at the help-wanted ads for financial and business editors," said Hall. He also cited surveys which showed that nearly two-thrids of the media believed they were doing only an average or poor job in writing about business. One of the main
reasons indicated was a shortage of trained business reporters. Robert Lee, business editor for "The Daily Oklahoman," will teach the business newswriting seminar which will be held in the 1982 fall semester. Enrollment begins March 22 for this course which may be audited or taken for three hours of graduate or undergraduate credit. The prerequisite is the beginning news reporting class. Lee said he wanted to cover reporting on all aspects of busi-
ness. Some topics will be wholesale and retail business, transportation, finance, stock market and banking, annual and financial reports, energy, oil and gas, and real estate. Lee graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor's degree in journalism and a minor in economics. He has worked at a weekly paper in Buffalo, been news editor at a Woodward newspaper and was managing editor for a newspaper in Enid.
Lee commented that newspapers have generally reported about business but not in much depth. Traditionally, he said, television has avoided the subject. "Then suddenly, everyone awakened to the fact that business is of interest not only to the business executive but also to the average newspaper reader. Television has started special business segments and even radio is getting into the act," he said. "Business writers are hard to find," said Lee. Many writers
Debate team receives more awards The Broncho debate squad collected five trophies last weekend in a three-day competition at the University of Texas at Arlington. At the Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA) debate, a division in which the squad is presently ranked eighth nationally, two CSU teams cornpeted: Damon Cantrell and Jim Bryant, seniors and Bev Graham and Eva Galipeau, freshmen. With a preliminary record of four wins and one loss, Bryant and Cantrell defeated the University of Texas at Austin in the final round to take first place. Graham and Galipeau finished with a 3-2 record and received the third place trophy. "We were competing with the intention of keeping our national standing," explains Cantrell, a four-year member of the squad. "I think we gave it our best shot." Two teams also competed in junior division: Bill Isbell,
sophomore, and Chris Wood, freshman; and Rhett Davis and Martin Glendinning, also freshmen. Both teams finished Saturday's preliminary rounds with 6-2 records. In the quarterfinals, Davis and Glendinning defeated Baylor and Wood, and Isbell downed the University of Kansas. Davis and Glendinning eliminated San Jacinto College in the semi-final round. The Bronchos closed out semi-finals with Davis and Glendinning eliminating San Jacinto College and Isbell and Wood defeating Kansas State University, allowing the two teams to bring home both the first and second place trophies. "I think we're really starting to develop some kind of reputation," said Davis. "People are taking us seriously as a district power." Several students also received speaker recognition. In CEDA

Greek, Germanic myths new course for seminar The Foreign Language Department is offering two new courses this semester, Greek Myths in French Drama and a seminar in Germanic Myths. Greek Myths in French Drama is a two hour course which will deal with seven classical and contemporary French plays in their English translation. Characters inspired by Greek Mythology will be studied to provide an awareness of the importance of old tales in French literature, said Dr. Marina Eaton, associate professor of foreign language and instructor.
The class will meet every Tuesday and Thursday at 11:40 a.m. in the Liberal Arts Building. A one hour seminar in Germanic Myths taught by Dr. Irmgard Schneider, associate professor of foreign language, will examine the background and effect Germanic Mythology has had on society, life after death, astronomy and modern art.
working in the area have not had formal instruction in business writing. "Our goal is to prepare practical business writers who can write articles the reader can understand," said Lee. The CSU journalism department hopes to eventually add a business and economics option to the journalism degree, said Hall. A committee consisting of faculty from the journalism and economics departments and from the School of Business is currently coordinating plans. The Oklahoma City Gridiron Foundation and Phillips Petroleum Foundation have each contributed $2000 to the CSU Journalism Betterment Fund in support of the business and economics option. "The proposal envisions that a number of people interested in public relations also will be drawn to this sequence because so many businesses need people who can produce news releases dealing with economics, who can write annual reports and who can answer media questions about complex financial matters," said Hall.

By Robert Slankard Columns may come and go, and this one will probably go quickly. But the sports editor, Robert Slankard, couldn't resist the chance to shoot his mouth off about sports happenings. This will hopefully be a weekly column, unless Slankard is snatched away by Sports Illustrated or the Vista office is bombed. Loyal Broncho followers may be wondering about the difficulties Eddie Griffin's wrestlers appear to be having lately. Actually the Bronchos have had several grapplers injured, including Todd Osborn, the outstanding wrestler in the NAIA tournament last year. The Bronchos also compete against what is probably the toughest schedule of any NAIA school in the nation. CSU has or will have matches against Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Nebraska, which are all ranked in the NCAA top ten. And last
Saturday's loss came, against the no. 1 team in the NCAAII, California State-Bakersfield. However, CSU owns a 39-3 massacre of Western State and a 28-8 pasting of Carson-Newman. Western is ranked fifth in the NAIA while Carson-Newman is 11th. So it is obvious the Bronchos are still the class of the NAIA. Sorry Adams State, maybe next year. Congratulations to John Keely, the women's basketball coach, along with his Bronchettes for their outstanding turnaround this year. The Bronchettes are currently 7-5 after being 2-25 last season. Keely is a fine representative of CSU sports and shows as much class in loosing as winning. No, this isn't a public relations column for the athletic department, but after showing sportsmanship and patience throughout last season, Keely deserves credit, along with his team.
A banged up Benny Coleman had little trouble in defeating California State-Bakersfield's Scott Teuscher by a 10-2 score Saturday night. CSU lost the match 24-17.

The men's team upset third ranked OCC 81-77 behind the 20 points of Kevin Pierce (top right).
By Jeanette McLaughlin The Broncho Cagers won in a shocking upset Monday night over the OCC Eagles, 81-77, for the first time since 1969. CSU was lead by Steve Pierce, Kendal Cudjoe and Charles Crosby who pitched in 20, 16 and 16 points for the game. OCC's big mistake was fouling too often. The Eagles led in field goals by three buckets 29.32, but allowed CSU to make 23 out of 34 freethrows compared with OCCs 14 for 17. Cudjoe started off the game scoring the first two points while
Norvell Brown gained OCC's point with a freethrow shot. CSU's defense had trouble keeping OCC's Ron Webb away from the net, allowing him to score twelve points with only half the time gone. Cudjoe, a man fast on his feet all evening, dodged players throughout the game, including a near escape between two OCC players to pass to Pierce for a slam dunk, tying the game 16-16 with 13:29 left in the first half. The ball swirled through one net back to the other ending the half with OCC in front 35-36.

The Bronchette cagers rebounded from a 66-56 loss to undefeated Southwestern last Saturday with a 77-73 victory over Oklahoma Christian College Monday night in Broncho Fieldhouse. CSU's scoring slump from the Southwestern contest lingered through the first half of Monday night's game as the Bronchettes were held to just 28 opening half points. In the meantime OCC pumped in 37 points to put CSU in danger of loosing their first home game of the year. However the Bronchettes came to life in the second half, exploding for 49 points. The Bronchettes, who are currently 8-5 on the year, were led by Patti Komalty with 18 points; Tammy London, 14; Rochelle Ware, 12; Gayle Stout and Teresa Campbell, 11 each and Cynthia Foster with nine.
