Sailor heads west in search of gold

Robert Berg and crew sail Gorilla My Dreams at the pre-Olympic trials in Long Beach, Ca. Berg hopes to sail this model, a 27 foot three-man Soling keel boat, for the United States at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

By Traci Baucom Associate Editor Robert D. Berg, CSU business finance major, wants, like many before him, to travel to California in search of gold. But, unlike others before him, his ambition is to gain a particular, internationally-sought breed of gold—the Olympic kind. Berg is a sailor, a world class sailor, who hopes to sail for the United States this summer in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. He has been training for Los Angeles since he was 10 years-old. "I decided two years ago that if I was going to continue competitive sailing at that current level, I needed to find something that was going to give me a feeling of accomplishment," Berg explained. Berg then talked to some people in Texas that were putting together an Olympic sailing team. As the Olympics began to look better and better to him, Berg started to look into the six categories of sailboats considered to be Olympic class. He purchased a 1977 Abbott Boats, Ltd., Soling sailboat in Milwaukee named Gorilla My Dreams. He and his crew—John Crawford, a University of Oklahoma accounting major and Pat Wellington, district sales manager for GTE Sprint Communications—then began to train at the Oklahoma City Boat Club on Lake Hefner. - After sailing in a few regattas, the United States Olympic Yachting Committee chose Berg and his crew for the United States Olympic Yachting team. According to Berg, being chosen for the Olympic Yachting team does not mean that he gets to compete in the Olympics, it just means that he is given the opportunity to compete in several events that normally wouldn't have been open to him. Being chosen for the team made Berg and his crew eligible to sail in See SAILING page 3

Tax increase gathers momentum By Matthew Driskill Editor At a meeting of educators and lay people from across the state

Friday, Governor George Nigh tried out some of his tax ideas and received support from most of the educators there, including Bill

Lillard, president of CSU. Lillard explained there seemed to be strong support for a tax increase this legislative session and

Williams named vice president By Terri Carpenter Larry B. Williams has been approved as the new vice president for administration at CSU, by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges at their regular meeting Friday. Williams will replace Alvin Acorn who will retire Feb. 1. Williams has been assistant vice president for administration since 1980 and is director of personnel services at CSU. In addition to his new position, Willliams will also continue as personnel director "in an effort to save money for the university, for an undetermined period of time." The university is under a hiring freeze and Williams said this is one of the reasons why his old

position won't be immediately filled. Willliams said the legislature will probably take some positive action towards getting more money for the university by the next fiscal year which begins in July. Williams said CSU is not in as bad a financial situation as some universities in Oklahoma. He attributes this to Alcorn's good planning. Although some faculty members have said that Williams was hand-picked by Alcorn, his predecessor, he said he definitely was not hand-picked. "Being involved in charge of personnel for the university, I have been involved in a lot of

screening processes for a lot of positions. There frequently are concerns or accusations that the process does not work fairly. Perhaps it doesn't, but we feel that it does. "I feel that it is a good process...We have to go through the process of advertising and trying to establish the broadest possible base of applicants that we can get so that we can get the best person for the job," Williams said. "Whoever is picked as the successful applicant for any position, the charge could go out that they were hand-picked." Williams said he is "estatic" and "extremely pleased" that he has been "given the opportunity to serve the university in this position." Williams said he thinks he is well-qualified or he would not have applied for the position. "Central State University is very important to me. I have been connected with it for many years and I would not want to be in a position where I couldn't handle it," commented Williams. Williams, who has been in administrative postions at CSU since 1969, received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from CSU and is working toward his doctorate at OU.

said the Speaker of the House seemed to think he could garner enough votes within the next week or two to pass such a measure. "As I understand it, a one cent tax increase could raise as much as $200 million," Lillard said. "It appears there seems to be a movement underfoot to go for a one cent sales tax increase, either temporary or permanent, during this session of the legislature and then some of the money could even be raised and received before June 30." Lillard said he supports the tax increase because of the different ways the budget cuts have affected CSU. "I very definitly support the increase," Lillard said. "I've se what the cuts have done to CSU—we've had to cut back on travel—had to cut student workers from 20 hours to 15—cut sections from the schedule—cutting back on summer school. Very definitly I support the tax increase." Lillard also said he hopes the tax increase would be permanent in order to avoid budget shortfalls in the future. "This way, if the increase is permanent, that eliminates the need to go back every year and repass it," Lillard said. "Also, anytime the people want to, they can go back and eliminate it. It just has that advantage of not having to go back every year or 18 months and facr another crisis. Lillard said another of the reasons behind the meeting was to discuss the ways the different educators could win support for

the increase from their constituents. Lillard said some of the other groups represented at the meeting spoke up about the budget cuts and how they were facing severe hardships from the state's financial difficulties. "Various representatives spoke up about how they would win support for the tax increase, either permanent of temporary. They also talked about eliminating the sales tax exemptions which would also help," Lillard said. "All the people seemed supportive of the increase because they've all been participating in drastic cutbacks," Lillard said. "There were people representing high tech firms such as the president of the Fife Corperation who spoke in favor of a tax increase-the president of the A&M Board of Regents who spoke in favor of it-representatives from OU spoke in favor of it-as well as people representing disabled and handicapped who spoke in favor of the increase," Lillard said. "All in all, the group was very supportive. I think there was one farm group who was against the increase," Lillard said. Lillard said other members of the group included representatives from the PTA, the Cooperative Council of School Administrators, high tech representatives and many others who made up a cross-section of the education leaders across Oklahoma. "It was just a real strong show of supprt for a tax increase rather than to keep going downhill," Lillard said.

Games and teams need more screams Letter to the Editor: I am very disappointed by the lack of support of the Central State students when it comes to the basketball games, wrestling matches,indoor track meets and whatever sports activity is going on at the time. They simply just don't come out to see our teams compete. This is really a sad attitude to take. The problem could be the fact that this is very much a commuter college, but we still have approximately 1250 students who live on campus and many who live near by in the Edmond area. This is no excuse to not attend. It is true many work and carry quite a school load. You still have to have time for recreation so why not come out and support our teams? The games held on campus are free with your student ID. This ought to be some consolation to coming to the functions. Above all we have very good teams at Central State University and they are great to watch. I feel it would help the teams out to know they have our support. All the other colleges seem to have quite a crowd at their functions when their teams come to visit us so why don't we show some" Pride" also?

Maintenance commended Letter to the Editor: During our recent bout with bad weather the streets and sidewalks of the Central State Campus were extremly slick and hazardous. I am sure many of us have experienced unfortunate accidents as a result of the snowy and icy weather. But, thanks to the maintenance crew of CSU, serious incidents on campus were decreased because of their efforts to clear pathways for our faculty, staff, and students. This has kept the maintenance department very busy. I just wanted to point out their efforts and commend them on a job well done. Ronda Chesser

Lousy semester forewarned by cat By Matthew Driskill Editor "Nobody told me there'd be days like these." The words from a John Lennon song never rang truer for me, the new editor of The Vista.

Commentary I should have known something was up when my black cat died on Friday the 13—the victim of a falling ladder. Then my rabbit's foot lost it's hair and the transmission went out on the car...definitly should have stayed in bed. But N000! I had to come to school and go to work. Then I find out the staff has been cut, there is a national paper shortage of the type used to print the paper and the school dropped me from the rolls because of non-payment of fees. Well, I figured it couldn't get any worse so I hitched up my pants and sat down to get the first issue out. It was rough and I'm here to tell you it wasn't a pretty sight with all the screaming and yelling, but it had to go out on time. Got to hit those deadlines you know.

Anyway, one page came together, and then another and another. Finally it seemed as though we would make it, understaffed and all. Well, we got it out and with the first issue of the paper finished I turned my attention to school. I had to figure out a way to pay my fees with something besides Monoply money, which is about all I had at the time. Finally my brother came through and loaned me enough money, granted with interest attached—I had to agree to give my first-born son, but hey, what the heck, I was back in school. So, now all I had to worry about was getting a new rabbit's foot and giving the cat a decent send-off. Well, as it so happens I had the opportunity to go hunting over the weekend. Took care of the rabbit's foot if you know what I mean. After that I came home, buried the cat and got the transmission repaired. So I figured I was set and a friend even gave me a new cat. Life seemed good again. So good in fact I decided to join some friends at a local watering hole for a little liquid refreshment and some good food. The food was good and the company

excellent and things seemed to be going great. We parted company and I started to make my way home when I began to hear this grumbling noise coming from the floorboard. No one ever told me there'd be days like these. ■

Sailing State local, world news Attorney general resigns William French Smith, the multimillionaire corporate lawyer who directed sweeping changes in the Department of Justice and served as a close personal advisor to President Reagan, has resigned as attorney general, administration sources said Sunday. A White House source said Reagan probably would name presidential counselor Edwin Meese III to succeed Smith. The sources, who spoke on condition that they not be identified by name, said that Smith was not pressured to leave but that he had simply decided that after three years in office it was time to go. They said he felt that he had accomplished his major goals.

East germans sent to West Six East Germans who fled into the U.S. Embassy in East Berlin and asked for political asylum were escorted through the Berlin Wall to freedom in the West Sunday night. A spokeswoman at the American Embassy confirmed that the six, who had entered the embassy Friday, left the building with their East German lawyer who had been involved in negotiations for their passage into West Berlin. West German border guards said the five men and one woman crossed through the Berlin Wall at the Invalidenstrasse check point in three cars at 9 p.m. The refugees were identified as Rene Faccin, 19; Bernd Apel, 43; Joerg Heikal, 23; and Bernd Macke, 28 all of East Berlin, and husband and wife Petra and Daniel Klingenberg of Potsdam.

Legal opinion critical Three Oklahoma federal judges gave the Justice Department a highly unusual temporary order earlier this month barring a law book company from publishing an opinion by a federal district judge in Colorado that was critical of the department, the New York Times reported Sunday. The brief censorship order was issued Jan. 3 by Judges William J. Holloway Jr. and Stephanie K. Seymour of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit and Federal District Judge Luther Bohanon, who was sitting on the appellate court. The court has its headquarters in Denver, but the three judges preside in Oklahoma. The order required the West Publishing Co. of St. Paul, Minn., "to delay temporarily" publishing the Aug. 25 opinion by Federal Judge Fred M. Winner of Denver in the permanent-bound volumes of West's reference books, pending further consideration of the matter by the appelate court. The order is still in effect. Winner's opinion, while stating that his views were preliminary because not all the evidence was in, harshly criticized three tax division lawyers, Steven L. Snyder, Thomas D. Blondin and Jared J. Scharf, for "repeated excesses" in conducting the grand jury probe.

continued from page 1 the World Championships in San Francisco and the pre-Olympic trials in Los Angeles. He considered this an honor since he had only been sailing Gorilla My Dreams for six months. The crew finished eighth out of 18 American competitors at the World Championships even though they did not finish two races due to three major gear breakdowns. Sixty-five countries competed in the event, according to Berg. More technical problems plagued the crew during the preOlympic trials. But since this regatta took place on the site of the Olympic and Olympic trials course it was, according to Berg, a valuable experience in their quest for the gold medal. Berg said he is now looking forward to the Olympic in Long Beach, Ca., in May, where he and his crew will compete against 30 United States competitors for the one American slot in the Soling class. "I would say that whoever wins the Olympic trials in May stands a very good chance of winning the Olympic gold medal," Berg said. "They will have the advantage of competing on their home turf with the entire country cheering them on."

The crew's Olympic training is mainly done on Lake Hefner and in the waters of the Southwest, according to Berg. For the next few months they will have to sail at every opportunity in the stiffest competition available to be prepared for Los Angeles. "It is necessary to race literally around the world to get a feel for the competition we might face in Los Angeles," Berg said. "We have a tentative, extensive race schedule which will give us the opportunity to compete against the other teams we will face at the Olympic trials. "We will supplement these regattas with trips to Long Beach in order to train in the actual water where the Olympics will be held," Berg said. In addtion to their sailing training, the crew is involved in a wellrounded conditioning program directed by Jane Kent, the United States Olympic Yachting Committee Sports Physiologist. "We are very dedicated," Berg said. "We have all spent a tremendous amount of time, money and effort to achieve our goal and will continue to do so. Berg began sailing on Lake Michigan in Chicago 14 years ago. Later, when his family moved to Detroit he continued to sail everything from small sailboats to

large racing boats on Lake Sinclair. He became the junior sailing champion of Orchard Lake, Mich., in 1973 and again in 1974. He was a Sears Cup Quarter finalist in 1973, 1974 and 1975. Many regattas, titles and awards followed. In 1976, New Zealand asked Berg to sail for their team in the World Quarter Ton Championship in Chorpus Christie, Tx. where the team placed third. In 1977, he entered the University of Miami and has been alternately sailing and attending various schools around the country since then, including Tulane University. At Tulane, he was a member of the nationally fifthranked sailing team. Berg's family now lives in Oklahoma. He moved here to finish his education in 1981. According to Berg, the only thing that is keeping him and his crew from the Olympic trials is financing. "Gorilla My Dreams is an old boat by racing standards," Berg explained. "Fiberglass boats only have a four year life span. After that, they become soft which affects their speed. In order to remain competitive, we need the latest, most advanced Soling boat made." Because of strict regulations in the United States regarding governmental support, Berg must turn to the private sector for contributions, he said. "We have received some funding," Berg said, "but we still have a long way to go. If it weren't for the great effort of many of the the outstanding members of this state, racing in the 1984 games would still be only a dream."

Mexico's economy recovering Mexico, which faced bankruptcy and financial collapse one year ago, is on the road to recovery. But the austerity program credited with the improvement has exacted a high price from the country's 75 million people, and risks remain. "Mexico has done so well in adjusting to the economic crisis," said a foreign financial analyst, who spoke on condition he not be identified. "It has managed its debt effectively, brought down its budget deficit and achieved a highly positive trade balance."

Station has mass appeal

Vista photo by Daniel Smith

Kent Anderson, KBLZ disc jockey, gives his on-air technique a tryout at the controls of CSU's 'new music' cable radio station.

By Traci Baucom "Sit back and get blitzed," Tom Clare's voice advises listeners of CSU's new music radio station, KBLZ. KBLZ, 93.3 FM, is a cable radio station and is presently available only to Edmond Cablevision subscribers between the hours of 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. nightly. The station is completely student run and operated. It is a "campus" radio station, according to Dr. Mike Dunn, KBLZ and KCSC manager. "The station is really for the people in the dorms," Dunn said. "Cable is not available to them at this point. We hope at some near point in time to circumvent that. We hope to be transmitting over the airwaves by the end of the semester. "KBLZ features new music with a mass appeal," Dunn said. "The music is dance oriented. We will play some of the things the local stations play, but we will also play some of the things a commercial station won't play." Another part of the station's programming will be syndicated music and comedy programs such as the "BBC Concert Hall", "Ruby"—a science fiction serial and "Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre," Dunn said. According to Dunn, the station plays newer songs by lesser known artists that aren't heard on commercial stations. "The music sounds basically the same as other station's," Dunn said. "We're not going to be radical with it. But if a band sounds similar to say, the Eurythmics, we'll play them." Some of the groups featured on the station are the

Eurythmics, Duran Duran, The Fixx, Spandau Ballet, U2, the Clash, the English Beat, REM and X. "What we do is play the popular hits from these groups as well as other, lesser known cuts from the same albums," Jane Duffy, KBLZ disc jockey explained. "The station is pretty multi-faceted," Mark Prater, KBLZ music director, said. "We are trying to provide a training ground, an atmosphere for people who don't know anything about a radio station. "People that have little or no experience in radio can come here to get a good solid training in the basics of equipment operation," Prater said. "They learn how to que records as well as being trained in the production end of it." In 1981, CSU's classical radio station, KCSC, which Dunn also manages, made an attempt at new music with their "The Insect Lounge" program. The attempt failed. "The Insect Lounge just was not compatible with KCSC," Dunn said. "It was an experiment. We did develop an audience, but rock just did not fit in with what most people's idea of the station was. "It was a turn-off to our regular listeners who were the base supporters. So we decided to start KBLZ. But KBLZ won't be a exactly like "The Insect Lounge". "The Insect Lounge played, I think, too much unfamiliar material," Dunn said. What KBLZ is doing here is similar to what many college stations around the country are doing, according to a recent article in Rolling Stone Magazine. These stations are becoming so popular they have launched the careers of many local bands as well as other little-known British and American bands.

AAA offers winter auto tips for commuters Oklahoma's second blast of antic cold and snow arrived last week and more of the same is expected throughout the 1983-84 winter. Don Hall, director of public affairs for the American Automobile Association (AAA), has these basic words of wisdom to offer CSU commuter students regarding winter automobile travel. — Before starting the automobile, turn the front wheels. This will clear the snow away from the wheels. —Be sure to pull out slowly. Racing the engine will dig the wheels deep into the snow, making traction difficult. —Carry some kind of traction device in the car all winter. Ice cream salt, sand or kitty litter when placed near the wheels will not only improve traction, but will add needed extra weight to the car when not being used. —Traction mats or pieces of carpet are also good for improving traction. Be sure no one is behind the car when using these. The car's wheels will spit them out at a great speed when traction is gained. —Once on the road, do not following too closely. According to Hall, one should allow three times the normal following distance when travelling on snow and ice. —The last thing one should do is brake hard. Hall suggests alternately sqeezing down then letting up on the brakes. Don't pump them, sqeeze them, he said. —Gradually gear to the next lowest gear when attempting to decrease speed. Let the engine slow the car, not the brakes. —Everything should be done slowly. Drive slowly, turn slowing, brake slowly. —The main thoroughfares are sanded quicker than side streets, but there will be more traffic on the main streets- thus increasing the chances of an accident. On the

other hand, should a motorist become stuck in a ditch or slide off the road on an isolated side street, he will be less likely to find help from other drivers. —When driving on glaze ice, Hall suggests drivers stick to the side streets where there are less other drivers to hit. Finally, Hall said it never hurts to bring along extra warm clothes and shoes in case a driver becomes stranded and is forced to walk for help. Phil Nelson, general manager of AAA Oklahoma says the current cold spell isn't expected to match the long-staying December shot of much below normal temperatures. "Hopefully, cars won't again be put to such a severe test," Nelson said. "A lot of us learned things about our cars the hard way during the two weeks of bitter cold. The number of cars put out of commission by the cold was amazing—old cars, newer cars, big ones, little ones. Drivers learned that their cars just won't perform in weather that cold unless everything is in really good condition, Nelson said. The auto club manager suggested several things motorists can do to give their cars a better starting chance. One of the simplest, he pointed out, is to keep the car garaged if possible. An enclosed

garage, even an unheated one, can be from 10 to 30 degrees warmer than outside the garage. Other tips offered by AAA to help in cold weather driving: —Have a good battery. At zero degrees a battery has only 30 percent of its summer time starting power. At the same time the engine needs more power to get it started. —Battery cables should be in good condition with connections tight and free of corrosion. The alternator belt should be tight enought that it won't depress more than a half-inch when pressed down. The battery is often blamed when it gives out before the car is started, according to Nelson. There may well be other problems. —A light-weight winter engine oil—no heavier than 20-weight—is a necessity, Nelson said. Heavier summer oil makes it hard to turn the engine with the starter, causing further drain on the battery. —Ice in the fuel line or carburetor can be a problem. The frozen moisture is often a result of condensation forming in the fuel tank. Keeping the tank near full can help prevent this. Fuel additives exist which will prevent the moisture from freezing. —Drivers of cars with diesel engines should be sure the diesel

fuel they buy is winterized. Ask the dealer. If it isn't, there are fuel flow improvers which can be added with fill-ups to prevent the fuel from gelling when temperatures reach 20 degrees or colder. —Check the cooling system. Have any radiator leaks repaired. Make sure radiator and heater hoses are in good condition and tight at the connections. —The car's cooling system should have a 50-50 mixture of antifreeze and water. This ratio will protect it to below zero temperatures.

—Periodic tune-ups-at least once and preferrably twice a yearare needed to keep the car operating economically, efficiently and starting in cold weather. A complete tune-up includes checking, replacing or repairing components of the engine's electrical and fuel systems. "This winter storm hasn't been as devastating to cars as the December blast," Nelson said. "Several cold weather records were broken last month. During a 12-day stretch we serviced four times the normal number of calls.

Senate calls for delay in salaries By MaryGaye Franklin Associate Editor The CSU Faculty Senate voted 15-0 Thursday, to adopt a proposal in an effort to voice their opinion of how the budget cuts at the university should be handled. According to Sen. Anne Lynch, chairman of the budget committee which drew up the proposal, the object of the measure is to see that the academic programs at the university are not harmed by the budget cuts. Among other options recommended by the proposal is the possibility of eliminating summer school altogether and delaying pay of contract salaries during the spring. "Any budget question is an academic question at a university and no one alone has all the knowledge to make the decision of where the cuts should be made," Lynch said. "We as faculty represenatatives, feel that it is important to have faculty imput in the making of budget cut deci-

sions. This is to insure that as little harm as possible is done to the academic program of the university." The proposal states:

The Faculty Senate of CSU recognizes the seriousness of the current budget difficulties while believing in the possibility that they will be of short duration. In order that CSU may make budget reductions while doing as little harm as possible to the progress of our students toward graduation or to the careers and well-being of faculty, staff and their families, the Senate recommends that: 1. When making reductions in course offerings, every attempt be made to offer those courses needed by students nearing graduation. 2. Every effort be made to keep the full-time faculty and staff intact, both out of concern for their personal well-being and in order to prevent long-term set-backs in the development of a quality program. 3. The reality be recognized that

CSU is in most cases already operating at, or beyond normal capacity, as evidenced by such indicators as heavy teaching loads, and the high student to faculty ratio. Consequently, reduction of faculty and staff positions must involve reduction in services rendered to the public in order to prevent a serious deterioration in standards. According to Lynch, universities which have large graduate programs only require their graduate faculty to teach six hours per semester. This is because more time and research is needed by the instructor in order to prepare for the classes. At CSU all faculty members are required to teach 13-15 hours per semester. This, according to Lynch, is too many hours to expect instructors to teach and still maintain a quality program. "We (the faculty) are at our limit as to the number of hours we can teach per semester," Lynch said. "The university cannot absorb the cuts by upping teaching loads because the faculty is not in a position to take on more courses." Lynch stated that the budget committee felt that less harm would be done to the academic program by cutting out some sections, rather than giving a larger teaching load to already overloaded professors. In the proposal, the senate recommended measures they felt might be taken to deal with the shortfall while abiding the principals they set down. The recommendations are:

1. If there is a real prospect of an improved income in May and June which would allow present pay obligations under existing contracts to be met, then delays in paying salaries be used to avoid terminating contracts solely due

to shortfall in the early months of the year. _ According to Lynch, often during the year the state experience short-falls in the budget for a particular month. Usually this shortfall is made up in the months of May and June because of revenues from income tax. "Rather than make permanent decision by laying off faculty in the spring due to short-falls, if there is any hope that the money would come in at the end of the fiscal year we would be willing for the state to delay our pay," Lynch said.

2. Adjunct positions should be eliminated so long as this will not prevent students nearing graduation from completing their programs. 3. Consideration should be given to not holding the summer term, as a great savings in salaries and in the cost of operation of the physical plant would result without having to eliminate any positions. Those individuals on twelve-month contracts whose positions would be made redundant should, whenever possible, be reassigned to other duties during the summer months. Dr. John Lolley, library director, proposed an amendment that the library remain open during the summer months so faculty and students would have access to it for research purposes. The amendment was accepted by the senate.

4. Individuals eligible to retire should be urged to do so and positive incentives offered, if possible. 5. Staff or faculty reductions due to the budget cut should be assimilated, whenever possible, by reassigning individuals who are so qualified to positions open in other areas due to natural attridon, such as through retirement.

(Assignment of teaching faculty to open administration positions on a full or part-time basis, and visa-versa, has been used by other institutions and found to produce permanent benefits in terms of a greater understanding of the joys and burdens associated with these very different responsibilites.). 6. When a reduction in full-time equivalent faculty cannot be assimilated, it should be spread among the faculty in the department in the form of partial leaves of absence including reduction in pay and departmental offerings. Lynch said the reductions are an option to trying to make crude attempts at making cuts without hurting th quality of the institution in the long run. "There is no point in making permanent cuts over a problem that is short-term," Lynch said. "The state economy is going to get better. Why butcher something that took years to put together?" In other senate business, Sen. John Cage gave his report on the selection committee assigned with finding a replacement for Vice President for Administration Alvin Alcorn. Cage was the senate representative on the selection committee. In his report Cage commended the committee's selection procedures, but called the job description and advertisement an insult to the man that now holds the job. "Neither the job description nor the advertisement does justice to the qualifications, the knowledge, the expertise and the capabilites now exhibited in the office," Cage said. "They were an insult a real slap at the job done and the responsibilities of the incumbent, Alvin Alcorn." Cage, in praising the committee's procedure said, "I am now convinced that there cannot be a set procedure for a committee of this type. "For every screening procedure must be different, dicated by the peculiarities of the job, the personalities of the incumbents and the many individual wants and needs brought by each selected member of the committee." In the past the senate has called for such committees to have a set procedure for screening and nominating candidates for vacant adminstration positions.

Graduate Dean Bill Fisher announced that he will be leaving CSU June 30 after 25 years of service at the university. Fisher announced his retirement Jan. 17, in a letter to Dr. James Perry, vice president of academic affairs. I have been involved in education in Oklahoma for 37 years," Fisher said. "I have full retirement benefits and I decided it was time to do some of the things I have always wanted to do. According to Fisher there are a number of activites he is planning to do when he retires. "My wife and I both like to travel and hope to go to Europe and Alaska. I also have a new home computer that I am learning to operate," Fisher said. In the years that Fisher has been

degree programs offered at CSU. "When I first came into this office there was only one master's degree offered at CSU that was a master's in teaching," Fisher said. "In the first year we added six master's degrees in the field of education and in 1971 we initiated the first non-teaching master's degrees. "Since that time we have continously added master degree programs and at the present time we have a total of 23 offered here at CSU." "The thing that has been of the most concern to me that I have always tried to do is to have an office that provided an openess to students," Fisher said. "I have tried to have an atmosphere in the office that allowed students to come in for whatever purpose."

at CSU he has served in several different capacities. "When I first came to CSU in 1959 I worked in the student teaching office and I supervised student teachers here at the university. In 1961 I became director of the student teaching office," Fisher said. "In 1963 I was promoted to dean of admissions and registrar. I served in that office until 1970 when I was appointed to the position of graduate dean." According to Fisher he has seen and been a part of many changes at CSU since first coming here. The biggest change being the enormous growth of the university. Fisher feels that one of the most significant changes that his office is responsible for since he became graduate dean in 1970 is the increase in the number of master's

weather and reporting campus events. Later on, she produced channel 24's newscast. Nix worked as Channel 2's production assistant last semester and was a field producer for Channel 2's "Around Campus" program. "The show will be similar to a news program, but it's not a news program," Deskin said. "A regular newscast features hard news on a daily basis. This will be a weekly program and definitely won't feature hard news. "We'll be covering events that should be of interest to the community, scheduled events that we know about in advance." The format will allow for students in both classes to utilize their skills in developing an actual weekly program instead of developing classroom projects.

Miss Oklahoma, Trelynda Kerr, will make a special appearance at the Miss CSU Scholarship pageant, March 1. "We are extremely pleased to have Miss Oklahoma appearing at our pageant," said Peggy Foster, CSU pageant director. "She is a very fine entertainer and will add a lot to our pageant." Jennifer Fowler, the current Miss CSU, will also be performing, as well as the Tunesmiths. "There is a common misconception that it is a beauty pageant, Foster said. "It is a talent-scholarship pageant and as a preliminary for the Miss America Pageant must follow the same rules and format. "These rules state that talent counts as 50 percent of the total points. Swimsuit, evening gown and judges interview count equally for the rest of the points." According to Foster, the deadline for entries is 5 p.m. Friday, Jan. 27. Preliminaries are Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. in the music building choir room. Entrants must be CSU students who are enrolled in 12 credit hours and carry a 2.0 grade point. They must be between 18 and 25 and must be single. Applications may be picked up in the public relations office, CB 104, or from Foster, AD 210.

through and really helped us out. "Like I said before, the tournament has traditionally been a good one for us and I am very pleased with the way things went." James also said Benny Coleman turned in an excellent performance at 177 pounds. "You know Benny Coleman went down there injured and he came away with the championship after defeating five AllAmericans. You can't ask for anything more than that," James said.
