Liberal Arts propose upping grad demands By Kama! Mazlan Staff Writer Liberal arts students may soon be required to speak at least one foreign language before graduating if the Academic Affairs Council approves three proposals submitted by the College of Liberal Arts. "Assuming the proposals are passed by the council, they will be effective at a convenient time. which is next fall," said Dr. Albert

Lynd, assistant vice president for academic affairs and council chairperson . The proposed changes include: • to raise the grade point average of liberal arts majors to 2.5, with no 'D' grades allowed to count in the major sequence; • to administer an English proficiency test to be taken at the end of sophomore year; • and to make a foreign language course part of the general education core requirements for liberal arts graduates.

The proposals were presented to Lynd after liberal arts chairpersons unanimously passed them during a meeting in November. The proposals are an effort to upgrade college standards. College of Liberal Arts Dean Clif' Warren said a 2.5 GPA is currently required for anyone attempting to further his or her studies. "All the department chairperPlease see DEMANDS on page 8.

Environment control contract to cut costs By James Jackson Staff Writer An annual savings of about $200,000 could be realized through decreased utility bills if the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges approves a contract being negotiated with a local engineering firm. Steve Nixon, branch manager for Johnson Controls Inc. in Oklahoma City, said the proposed contract includes retrofitting the lighting systems, ventilation systems used with current heating and air conditioning equipment, and a facilities management system. Modifications would include replacing some lights with energy efficient lighting and cleaning other existing lighting equipment, Nixon said. Heating and air-conditioning

systems would also be replaced with energy efficient equipment, Nixon said. Heating and air conditioning units will be connected to a facilities management system. This system will determine what time heating and cooling equipment switches on to heat or cool the building at the start of the day. The facilities management system performs this task by measur ing the temperaure in the building. It also compares the inside temperature to outside readings, and instead of turning systems on eariler than necessary, it turns equipment on in time to reach the proper temperature when people arrive for the day, Nixon said. Nixon said the energy saving system will cost 3 to 4 million dollars to install. However, funding

The topic for many campus conversations consists of various centenial events scheduled this year, but among others discussion focuses on an institutional identity crisis: Faculty senators voted unanimously Friday to approve the intent of a resolution to rename Central State University during a meeting Thursday in the Council Room of University Center. The choice alternative for many is University for Central Okla-

name Central Oklahoma University, but Bass said the University of Central Oklahoma is the only name seriously being considered. The senate suspended the rules to debate the name change and hear comments from the Student Association and CSU Alumni Association. SA President Joe Stehr, said about 95 percent of his classmates are in favor of the change. Kent Todd, alumni association director, said the change has been discussed, but a vote has not been Please see NAME on page 8.

homa, said senate members. The new name would reflect geographic location and eliminate confusion with universities in other states having similiar names. "I think it's a positive thing," said Dr. Thomas Bass, faculty senate vice president. He said it is important to break away from being considered only as a teacher's training institution while maintaining a focus on university research. The name change would enhance the university's reputation, Bass said. Dr. Samuel Magrill, assistant professor of music, suggested the

"We (OSBI) have up to four agents currently working full-time on the case," said Paul Renfrow,

public information officer for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Invesigation. Renfrow said there has been as many as 14 ageninvestigating the allegations, devoting 2,000 manhours of departmental time to the investigation, a cost of about $26,000. "It is impossible to predict how long it will take," Renfrow said of the investigation which was launched after the release of the findings of a state audit December

1988. In the report, auditors questioned institutional procedure operations when the university's financial operations revealed nine CSU maintenance employees submitted timesheets totaling 6,730 hours overtime in 1986, he said.

PRoGREss \?

for trade freedom By DeWayne Smoot Editor in chief 1990: The information age. During the past 10 years America's home furnishings evolved from a more traditional setting to rooms completely outfitted with high-tech electronic gear. Americans receive and select information from around the globe through services available only to government agencies just a few years back. Now, television programming and other information bounces into American living rooms from telecommunications satellites orbiting Earth; personal computers tap into a wealth of information stored on an estimated 600 data bases; and fax machines transmit printed documents to almost any predetermined destination in a matter of minutes. It's truly the age of information—or is it? Officials for the seven Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOC's)—formed after charges were made against AT&T for antitrust violations in 1972— think otherwise. A federal court judge adminstered judgment against AT&T in 1982, mandating AT&T to divest itself of local phone operations. In addition, judgment terms restrict RBOC business ventures: prohibits telecommunications equipment manufacturing and providing long distance or electronic information services. RBOC's have petitioned Congress to

ease restrictions since 1984, gathering legislative support each year. RBOC's argue consumer's telecommunications services needs are not being met, their participation is needed to restore international market competition, and the U.S. economy is suffering because RBOC's full economic potential is thwarted by restrictions. Their arguments merit attention. Citizens in some European countries benefit from computerized information services developed by local telephone companies. Computerized tutoring services and data bases. assist students with homework, in-home terminals access medical information and transmit data to doctors, and access information outlets help small businesses with purchases, sales and marketing techniques. However, their is need for concern. Conditions must be made to ensure RBOCs maintain a sense of responsibility and conduct business fairly and ethically. Discrimination against competitors should not exist and subsidizing new ventures with ratepayer funds should be strictly limited and approved only through the authority of an outside agency—Oklahoma Corporation Commission procedural policy would be a good format. The issues involved in today's argumen will affect the nation well into the future. Today's decisions should be weighed heavily. To secure a stake in the future, make sure Congress hears the true tone of public sentiment regarding corporate responsibility.

Matt Aston, oral communications assistant professor and scenic designer at CSU, earned top billing for set design. Cindy Steele, Edmond sophomore, was voted best lead actress for her role as Miss Lovett. CSU alumni Jim Henline was

selected best male actor for his performance as Sweeney Todd. Charles England, CSU freshman, was awarded best costume design. "The whole production provided for a good ensemble effect," said Osterhaus, who was voted best director. "This ensemble feeling thus lent itself toward a team-winning Performance." "I felt that individual efforts are what payed off for 'Sweeney Todd' in the end, though the group effort played a large part in the success as well," Osterhaus said.

Steps taken to combat dropout rate By Charleen McGuire

Student Writer

Lowering minority dropout rates and increasing minority graduation are goals of the Central State University Black Student Association. "Once students learn a little about the different cultures on this campus maybe students will start getting along better," said James Noley, multicultural student services director. Addressing increased minority dropout rates in higher education is a major goal of the group, Noley said. This would be accomplished through student peer counseling, tutorial services and special services which would enhance minority culture. "The bottom line is to graduate more minorities," Noley said. The difference between the organizations, besides the title change, is services may accomodate the needs of other races like Asians, Pacific Islanders and American Hispanics. This was not possible previous years because the Black Peer Center was receiving insignificant funding, Noley said. "This year, Student Services have the funds to take care of Black Americans and American Indians," Noley said. "We hope to have everyone taken care of soon." Noley said he hopes to educate more students about cultural diversity on campus.

King celebration generates large turnout, support By Charleen McGuire

Black Student Association began the spring semester with a birthday celebration honoring the late Martin Luther King Jr. Jan. 15. "We had a much larger turnout than we ever imagined," said Jancie Henry, Black Student Service director. "By the end of the march there were over 120 participantes present." The march started at the Bronco Fieldhouse and ended at Thatcher Lake where a candlelight tribute for Dr. King was held. Graduate student Mark Davis and sophomore Nikki Washington, sang "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Black Student Services are accepting applications from students wanting to become group representatives. Applications and information are available in Evans Hall, Room 102.

Regents adopt admissions exam Quality teacher education targeted goal

By Ann Hamilton Staff Writer The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education in cooperation with the teacher education institutions in Oklahoma have adopted the Pre-Professional Skills Test as a criterion for admission to teacher education programs throughout Oklahoma, said Dr. J.W. Weatherford, professional teacher education department chairman. Higher regents consider this as a vital step in enhancing the quality of Oklahoma teacher education. "One teacher can affect the lives of literally hundreds of students, those students' children and even their grandchildren. In essence, teachers affect the lives of

generations of Oklahomans," said Higher Education Chancellor Hans Brisch. "Establishing admission criteria for teacher education ensures that the most capable men and women will be entering the teaching profession and that we will be graduating teachers who have the skills, aptitudes and ability to positively shape the future of their students," Brisch said. Students attempting to be admitted to teacher education programs at Central State University will be required to take the new compentency test. The PPST will be administered to education students from 2 to 5 p.m. Jan. 30 and 31 in the University Center Ballroom. The cost is $4. Students wishing to take the test should register in Old North,

Room 308, or call Ext. 5710 as soon as possible. "This is the last semester the PPST will be given at CSU," said Weatherford. "Next semester, the test will be administered by the Educational Testing Service, and the cost will be in the neighborhood of $40." The PPST replaces the NelsonDenny Reading Comprehension Test once given to education students, said Deanna Dean, professional teacher education official. "The PPST is broader in scope than the Nelson-Denny test used previously. The (PPST) tests math skills in addition to reading co)

prehension," Dean said. "I had the math department examine the test. They said that students possessing a good high school algebra background and those completing the math for general education class should have the competency needed to pass the PPST," Weatherford said. Students who do not pass the PPST or portions of it will be offered a plan of remediation and an opportunity to retest. Department officials also stressed the application deadline for student admission to teacher education for this spring and stuPlease see REGENTS on page 8.

Nimmo returns from injury By Bill Kramer Sports Editor

Three-time NAIA national champion Johnny Nimmo has returned to practice with the No. 1 ranked Central State University Broncho wrestling team— a big plus, said Head Coach David James. Nimmo, out of action since having a bone-chip removed from hiE left knee Nov. 27, should be ready to return at 158 pounds for the duals Thursday against Missouri University and Cal State-Fullerton University, James said. The injury occurred Nov. 25 during the Oklahoma Open in Norman, and Nimmo has been sidelined ever since. Nimmo is seeking to achieve several goals which will distinguish him beyond the heights of any wrestler in CSU history. He is tied for second on the Bronchos career winning list at 116-33-0 behind Ronnie James, brother CSU head coach. With six more victories Nimmo will become the all-time winningest wrestler in Broncho history.

Nimmo is also seeking to become the only wrestler in CSU history to win four national championships. This year, however, Nimmo and the Bronchos are wrestling in NCAA II. In previous years, CSU was a member of NAIA. A Del City native, Nimmo (pronounced knee-mo) said he decided he would try wrestling while in second grade. "I got tired of wrestling with my step-brothers. When I first started, I went to watch my step-brother wrestle. He seemed to enjoy it, so I decided to try it," he said. Nimmo said he idolizes many people, but his main inspiration came from one of his grade-school coaches. "The main one (idol) passed away about four years ago. His name is David Whiteman. He was the one who taught me the basics, and I probably look up to him the most," he said. Nimmo has used the basics he learned to become one of the finest wrestlers in the country. He is known on the mat for his

punishing rides and pin holds as well as his deceiving strength and knowledge of the sport. Nimmo said he does not regret choosing CSU over a larger NCAA Div. I school such as Oklahoma State or Iowa, two schools with great wrestling traditions. "Outside of education, I chose Central because of the influence of Ronnie and David (James). Ronnie is another big idol of mine. When he was a senior at Central, he was sitting in the same boat that I am now, (being a three-time defening national champ and going for one more). "He talked to me over the summer and told me what to do and not do, and what to think about. Earlier this year, I didn't think about it, but now I realize it's a big deal. "If I do my best in everything I do, trying to train and don't end up making it, I know I will have given it my best shot," he said. His future plans include earning a bachelor's degree in psychology and continuing at CSU for a master's degree in gerontology, the scientific study of aging. "Hopfully, I'll be coaching

some also, either as a coach's assistant or graduate assistant," he said. Nimmo said the feeling he gets from being a three-time national champ is great, but he feels no different from anyone else. "I don't look at myself better than anyone else. As a wrestler, I look back and think it could have always turned out different on the mat. That one tournament could have turned out the other way. "I don't think of myself as any different. The only way you can go is up. That's the way I look at it."

Buffaloes corral slumping Bronchs By Ray Dozier Student Writer

Guard Fred Rike nailed five three-pointers and scored 21 points to lead West Texas State to a 90-81 Lone Star Conference victory over Central State University Saturday in the Broncho Field House. The Bronchos, winless in three conference games and 6-9 overall, trailed 44-34 at the half and by as many as 18 points with 11:05 left in the game. CSU closed the gap to three points on forward Marlon Brown's three-point goal with 54 seconds remaining. Two desparation fouls by the Bronchos sent the Buffaloes to the foul line and Carlos Brazolin went four for four with the charities to drive a nail into the Bronchos' coffin. "Probably one of the biggest differences was the foul line," said Head Coach Jim Seward. "Once we fouled, they went to the line and made their free throws and that was probably the biggest difference in the game."

The Buffaloes sank 13 of 20 free throws, 65 percent, compared to 15 of 27, 55.6 percent, for CSU. The Bronchos shot better from the field with 52.6 percent to 46 percent but were outrebounded 48 to 36. Junior forward Marlon Brown led CSU in scoring with 26 points. Brown has averaged 24.3 points per game in his last six outings compared to an 11.4 average in the first eight games of the season. The Bronchos lost another conference matchup against Abilene Christian 88-80 Jan. 15. in Abilene, Texas. Marlon Brown led the Bronchos in scoring with a season and career high 30 points. CSU shot 43 percent from the field compared to 59 percent for the Wildcats. Brown again led the Bronchos with 30 points and five blocked shots as CSU blasted Bethel College (Kan.) 103-66 in Newton, Kan., Thursday. The Bronchos managed 57 percent from the field while holding the Threshers to 40 percent. Overall, five Bronchos scored in double figures including 24 by junior guard Shawn Williams.

CSU drops 4th in a row

Lady Cagers beaten by 8th rated Texans By Tamara Evans Student Writer

Despite their efforts, the Central State University Lady Broncho's upset bid fell short against eighth-ranked West Texas State Saturday in the Broncho Field House, 56-50. CSU senior guard Shawn Williams saw limited playing time due to an ankle injury which forced her to miss a week of practice, said Head Coach John Keely. The Lady Bronchos played remained close throughout the game, but the Lady Buffaloes were too much to overcome in the closing minutes. The Lady Bronchos shot 38 percent from the field and 50 percent from the free-throw line compared to 55 percent from the field and 56 percent from the line for West Texas. Playing point-guard for the first time, Rae Martin made two key three-point shots to put the Lady

Bronchos ahead 25-20 at halftime. Following the break, Lady Buffalo Head Coach Bob Schneider was given a technical foul for arguing with officials. West Texas took control in the third quarter and held off CSU in the closing minutes. Martin and Shene Murphy led the scoring for the Lady Bronchos with 12 points each while teammate Kristi Heglin kept the Lady Buffs alert with four steals and five rebounds. CSU dropped to 6-7 overall and 0-3 in Lone Star Conference play while West Texas State improved to 13-3 and 4-0. CSU traveled to Abilene, Texas, Jan. 15 and lost, 79-58 score. Martin led the way for the Lady Bronchos with 18 points.

trail investigation keeps expanding," Renfrow said. "Dozens of people were interviewed. We talked to one person, and he or she might name someone else, and they have led us to documents to prove their statements." As a result, Renfrow said OSBI agents have accummulated boxes of documents running into hundreds of pages, including records seized last April from the CSU Foundation. Records seized include records from various university departments: football, tennis, women's athletics, wrestling development funds, the General Scholarship Fund, and Jazz Band Travel Fund. "We chart the flow of that (documents) because it is easy to miss a lead," Renfrow said. "However, the 10-month investigation is well beyond the halfway point, and we are right on course." Renfrow pointed out the university is not under investigation, only a former employee and the

The audit raised concern about a segregation of duties, involving internal control: the nine employees were employed by a private asbestos removal business owned by Nimrod Chapel, former physical plant director for CSU, Renfrow said. Renfrow said criminal charges could be filed if OSBI finds any evidence of illegal activity. He said the agency will present its findings to the State Attorney General who will review the report and decide whether to file charges. "Our report when completed will make no recommendations or draw no conclusions, just the facts," Renfrow said.
