Former CSU student dies By MaryGaye Franklin Associate Editor Former CSU student, Carl Sloan, 19, was killed in a skiing accident Sunday, at Angel Fire, N.M.. Sloan was found at the base of a tree just off the edge of a beginner's slope known as Headin' Home, according to a spokesman for the resort. Apparently he was skiing down the slope when he struck a tree, authorities said. He was given emergency medical treatment and was later pronounced dead by doctors. According to Sloan's mother, Betty Sloan, he had gone on a skiing trip with two of his friends when the accident occured. She said he had been skiing several times in the past. Sloan attended CSU during the 1983 fall semester working toward a degree in business, according to his mother. But, he had not returned this semester saying he wanted to take some time off. "He said he wanted to take some time off to work and decide what he really wanted to do," Betty Sloan said. "He was planning to come back to CSU as soon Vista photo by Jon Bielich as he decided what wanted to major in."

abolish tenure By Traci Baucom A recent bill introduced into the Oklahoma House of Representatives would abolish teacher tenure in Oklahoma public schools and if the bill's author has his way, he'll introduce a bill in the future that would eliminate tenure for college teachers. The bill, HB 1576, was introduced by Rep. Bill Lancaster—D, Wagner and Muskogee county. Tenure is a status granted after a trial period to a teacher protecting him or her from summary dismissal. "I think that teacher tenure has disintegrated teaching to the point of mediocrity," Lancaster said. "We have a lot of teachers that work very hard and very diligently for three years and then realize it would take an act of Congress to dismiss them. They get very lax." Lancaster said that although his current bill will not affect higher education, future bills authored by him will. "Colleges absolutely need to abolish tenure," Lancaster said. The problem, however, is not as severe in higher education as in the public schools." Lancaster said if even one lax teacher in the state is being protected by the teacher tenure law, it is one too many. He feels if a child gets three or four bad to mediocre teachers in a two to three year period, he or she is ruined. "Teachers are hiding behind this cloak of tenure," Lancaster said. "I know they are or I wouldn't have introduced the bill. "We have too many administrators that won't document the portfolio of the individual teachers to determine which ones are good or bad," he said. Lancaster is also against the teacher's pay schedule. According to him, all teachers were not created equal. He feels incentive programs should be implemented for the dedicated teachers, the ones with the ability to impart knowledge and motivate children. Although Lancaster authored the measure, he is not optimistic about the bill's chances of survival. "These guys (Oklahoma Representatives) always vote for whatever is good for re-election," he said. "They don't want to pick a fight with the teachers. I'm just hoping to stimulate some thought on the issue." Lancaster says he doesn't anticipate the bill getting enough votes to get it out of committee.
Handicap no problem for student "I want to help students to learn" she explains. "I have a good rapport with them. You never know, I might be the right person to teach them German."

KCSC employees around 18 students who work part-time during school, two part-time and two full-time employees. "With the rest of our staff,
students will not have to stay up all night to work at the station," said Dunn. "There also will be more security at the station and the equipment will run better with no time breaks in between." The extended programming has been made possible by a fund drive which raised $90,000 from listeners. "This fundraiser was by far the most successful one the station has ever had," said Dunn. Latest ratings for Oklahoma City AM-FM radio stations placed KCSC 15th out of the 28 radio stations in the metro area. "The station will continue to get better and better," said Dunn.
person can. Her text books are on cassette tapes, to which she must take the time to listen rather than read. Many times the manufacturer will not have a particular tape in stock and Wilhelm must hire a reader to read the text to her. Both tapes and readers are time consuming as well as costly for one who is both a student and a student teacher. Wilhelm has been able to attend school so far with the help of scholarships, grants and financial aid, but this semester she said she would be receiving little, if any financial aid. Wilhelm's favorite hobby is ballet. She loves to dance as well as listen to music and as a result of her blindness, her hearing is more developed than a sighted person's would normally be. "It becomes more than the sense to which sighted people are accustomed," Wilhelm said. "I can feel when someone is looking at me. I can hear it," she said. Wilhelm has taken several ballet classes at CSU, together with swimming and voice. She says she would like to try waterskiing someday, but has not yet found the opportunity. "I don't come upon any obstacles that I can't manage," Wilhelm said. "I'm not afraid. I see WILHELM page 3

Opinion Page Class protectors raise pens to meet challenge Letter to the Editor: Please consider this a response to the letter written by one Jeffrey Dudley which appeared in the Vista issue of January 26. Mr. Dudley, I wish to quiet your deep seated fears that Central State University has gone to the devil. If such a thing does occur, it will not be because of our course on the history of witchcraft. Instead, it will be due to the present budget crisis and the failure of our state government to provide for the financial needs of higher education. Incidentally, I am delighted that in your use of the scriptures to advance your views, you failed to quote Exodus 22:18--"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live". Personally, one of my favorite scriptural admonitions is just a few verses below that one. Exodus 22:25--"If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury".

In spite of that "command", if we are to live in a capitalist society I believe that our department of economics may offer the course in money and banking without becoming a force for evil, don't you? Seriously, Mr. Dudley, you obviously do not understand the basic objective of the study of history. We seek to understand the past, not to embrace any particular belief or value system. If you had taken the time to consult Dr. Kremm about the course, you would have discovered that she harbors no silly superstitutions about the validity of witchcraft. You would also have discovered that she spends much time in the course discussing the social forces which, in the past, have given rise to "witches" and their persecutors. You would also have found out the origin of the term "witch hunt" which at the present time defines almost any kind of political, economic or social persecution. Donald E. Green
Class tormentor burned by reply Viewpoint called ignorant Letter to the Editor: Wow! I didn't know that CSU had a history of witchcraft class. I hope they offer it again next year so I can take it. I may be wrong, and God only knows, but I don't think that Central State is "promulgating the evil and prepondarence of Satan," Mr. Dudley. Naturally, I may be wrong, I haven't taken the class, have you? Also, you are free to leave anytime you want. I mean no disrespect; Jeffery Dudley, who wrote the letter to the editor made some very valid points. However, to me, his letter represented

the "knowledge is evil, ignorance is bliss," philosophy. Also, I think that if God did not want us to know about the forces of evil, thus knowing what to avoid, they wouldn't be there. Also Mr. Dudley suggests that the university is "inculcating the derification of Satan upon it the students." But to inculcate means to impress upon the minds by insistent urging. So surely the university is not doing this because I didn't even know there was such a class. Wendy Johnson
Letter to the Editor: I am writing this letter to the editor in response to the letter sent in by Jeffery Dudley. Mr. Dudley expressed concern that a course offered in the department of History on the history of witchcraft, would promulgate the existence of Statan. I am afraid however, thst the narrow-minded viewpoint expressed by Mr. Dudley will only promulgate ignorance, an already too abundant commodity. For us to follow Mr. Dudley's logic,
Witchcraft class saved from fire
Letter to the Editor: I would like to respond to the emotional diatribe all Vista readers were treated to in the Jan. 26 issue by Mr. Jeffrey Dudley.
He has attacked CSU for offering the course "History of Witchcraft." Has Mr. Dudley taken the class? By the contents of his letter, I would doubt it. He condemns both the course and the university as having "no moral conscience" and "harboring the corrupting forces of Satan." But does the mere discussion of a topic preclude that one condones it? If people talk about sin, alcoholism or homosexuality, does that mean that they necessarily practice it? Central State University is an institution of higher education dedicated to the principle that willing students may learn, question, discuss and be enlightened. To condemn the university for offering a course dealing with subject matter which may make some uncomfortable is not only closed-minded, but dangerous. What would have happened to the study of science if an unhappy lawmaker would have had it outlawed because he threw up in a biology lab? David T. Rall
one would have to prohibit learning about racism, communism or any other idea not agreed with because that would constitute supporting it. If Mr. Dudley would open his eyes, he would see that by learning about other ideas, one grows stronger in one's own beliefs. I sincerly support the history department's decision to offer the class on witchcraft and hope that this university never buckles in to people who would, if given the chance, burn books or shut down classes because they do not agree with the content.

State local, world news Temporary tax pushed A one-cent temporary state sales tax increase could be on Oklahoma's statute books by the middle of February if legislative leaders and Gov. George Nigh have their way. House Speaker Jim Barker and Nigh were talking to House members Tuesday to line up the 68 votes necessary to attach the emergency for the tax, which would expire Dec. 31, 1985. Nigh confirmed he has adopted the temporary plan and has been working for the past month to secure votes. "I would prefer a permanent tax, but I am realistic enough to know that we have our best chance with a temporary tax," the governor said. Both Barker and Nigh said the 51 votes are available to pass the tax.
Stock market slumps A stock market slump was extended in heavy trading Tuesday, pushing the Dow Jones industrials average to a 12-week low, as an attempt at a rally fizzled late in the session. With the first month of 1984 trading now completed, a popular but erratic indicator of market performance, the "January Barometer," was emitting bearish signals for the rest of the year. The stock market's best-known indicator has shed 66.06 points since Jan. 6 and dropped to its lowest close since the 1,214.94 of last Nov. 8.
Hatch resentenced to die Steven Keith Hatch was resentenced Tuesday to die by lethal drug injection for his role in the October 1979 slayings of an Okarche minister and his wife. On his last day as a Canadian County district judge, Stan C. Chatman signed death warrants for Hatch and scheduled his execution for April 30. Chatman is entering , private practice. The two death sentences were the same penalties Hatch received after his non-jury trial in April 1980. The formal resentencing Tuesday came after a day-long rehearing last week. Hatch was an accomplice in the deaths of the Rev. Richard B. Douglass and his wife, Marilyn, during a robbery.

After graduating in July, Wilhelm hopes to find a teaching position in the Oklahoma City area where she can be close to her family.

Club is diverse, energetic
Bowery: Anything goes By Jane Duffy OKC offers an energetic new music club with live bands and a diversified, casual atmosphere in the Bowery, located at N. W. 10th and Walker in the basement of the Plaza Court building.
Since it opened in October 1982, the Bowery has accomodated an enthusiastic audience with a variety of bands such as Wall of Voodoo, Joe "King" Carassco, Romeo Void, The Romantics and, for the hardcore, The Circle Jerks.

Pot in our highschools One of every 16 high-school seniors smokes marijuana daily, and about three out of five smokers had their first experience with the drug between the sixth and ninth grades, a study of 17,700 USA seniors shows. The 1982 survey, released Tuesday, was taken for the National Institute on Drug Abuse by the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. Results showed marijuana was the most widely used illegal drug, with 6.3 percent of the seniors using it daily; 29 percent reporting some use in the previous month; 44 percent, some use in the previous year and 59 percent, some use during their lifetime.
Ex-Edmond man sentenced Former Edmond resident Ronald Camp was sentenced Tuesday to 13 months in federal prison and four years on probation for misrepresenting himself to two banks that made loans to him and his wife. His wife, Kendra Ryan Camp, was given an indentical sentence Monday by U.S. District Judge H. Dale Cook. The Camps, who operated a phony medical clinic last year under fictitious names, currently are serving one-year sentences on state charges of obtaining money from their patients under false pretenses.

Bands from England, New York, California and Texas make regular stops into the Bowery's agenda. Local talents also get a chance to unleash original material as the Bowery encourages bands that have the initiative to create their own sound. As one descends into the basement club, a casual, one-on-one atmosphere sinks in and the divisions between punk, new wave, rock-a-billy and reggae melt into the energy and excitement of the new music club. Hardcore regulars armed in full regalia mingle with the curious that drop in and find themselves at ease in the intimate atmosphere.
Review CSU student Suzanne Rapp says, "Anything goes. You can talk to the band and not be inhibited with your clothing and dancing." More often than not, the dance floor is packed, with the band within touching distance. One regular, Ivan Slasher says if the band is good, he just wants to dance. Roscoe Shoemaker, Bowery DJ who keeps the action going between sets said, "Often we get music videos that MTV won't play because they aren't mainsteam enough. Our variety is greater. "We are generally way ahead of the local stations in 'breaking' a new song or group. Radio stations have been known to call us up and ask what has been getting good audience response," Shoemaker said. Micheal Traystman, a transplanted New Yorker who began the Bowery concept, finds that being between the coasts, Oklahoma is able to absorb all types of music. Enough people enjoy the club that they have expanded their concerts to the Forum, in the Lincoln Plaza Center. Cover charge is generally $3 for both men and women with no cover at all before 9 p.m.

Likes soaps, Newsweek
Adjustment no problem for foreign student By Kathleen Olson She describes herself as a Palestinian refugee born and raised in Lebanon, a TV junkie in love with soap operas and a person extremely fond of California. Already classified as a junior, Lina Hammoud, an international student from Beruit, Lebanon, has lived in Oklahoma for about two years. Enrolled in her third semester at CSU, Hammoud is pursuing a newspaper journalism degree and plans to graduate the spring semester of 1985. Currently enrolled in 16 hours this semester, she is very determined to reach her goal. Upon graduating, Hammoud will return to Lebanon and hopes to begin a career working for a Palestinian newspaper or magazine. She desires to be able to write "hard news" or political news for her country. According to Hammoud, this could be a dangerous profession in her country. Smiling, she said "You can't please everybody over there. If you displease somebody, something very unfortunate might happen to you." Having attended Oscar Rose Junior College before transferring to CSU, Hammoud explained why she chose to this school. She had applied at both CSU and the University of Oklahoma. After consulting with her journalism professor at Oscar Rose and weighing the many advantages of both schools, she chose CSU. So far, she has had no regrets. "Many international students have warned me about the prejudices in Oklahoma, but I have never really faced that problem,"
she said. "I have never had to face anybody who had any prejudices against me or where I come from." Hammoud thinks that college students are more open minded than some people and that is why she has not seen many prejudices. Although Oklahoma is completely different from Lebanon, Hammoud said that she likes the people and adjusting was not that hard. "I adjust very easily everywhere," Hammoud said. Shortly before Hammoud came to the United States her family moved to Kenya where there are not many universities. She was given a choice of attending a university in Lebanon or an American university in the states. Hammoud explained that even the American university in Lebanon only offered an associate degree in journalism. Wanting more than an associate degree, Hammoud chose to attend school in the United States. She chose Oklahoma because her sister had once attended CSU. In order for her to be accepted into an American university, Hammoud had to pass the TOEFL examination which stands for the test of English as a foreign language. All international students are required to pass this test before entering an American college. Hammoud had no problems passing the TOEFL exam because she attended an American high school in Lebanon. Both the American university and the American high school in Lebanon were founded by American missionaries. Hammoud feels that returning

to Lebanon with a bachelor's or a master's degree in journalism will be a great advantage for her. She stated that very few Arabian women are sent abroad to study. Her country does not believe that women are capable of caring for themselves. Women are often suppressed in Lebanon, she said. Hammoud says that she is "a liberal according to the Arabs and
a conservative according to the Americans." Hammoud is enjoying her experience in Oklahoma and anxiously awaits the upcoming elections. She has never witnessed an election. "This is the time when all the issues come out; the budget, Central America and the Marines in
Lebanon. It should be very interesting," she said. In the two years Hammoud has studied in Oklahoma, she has become Americanized to a degree. Her favorite soap opera is "General Hospital," she enjoys reading magazines like Time and Newsweek and has found herself addicted to television like so many Americans.
Enrollment continues rise Spring enrollment figures indicate Central State University continues its increasing enrollment record with the fourth consecutive semester in which figures surpassed those of the previous year. Dr. Bill Lillard, CSU president, said final enrollment for the spring reached a total of 11,369—almost one hundred more students than a year ago. "The increase comes after a severe cutback in part time faculty and major changes in class scheduling to accommodate a drop in state funding," Lillard said. The spring total is just under a one percent increase with 96 more headcount than the 1983 spring total of 11,273. The full time equivalent—a measure of a full credit hour load—was up two percent. Dr. Barbara Ryan, director of institutional research, said the total fell just 13 short of the alltime record spring enrollment of 11,382 in 1977. The greatest increase occurred among senior enrollment, with an 8.8 percent growth over last spring, followed by 116 additional juniors. The largest decrease was among sophomores with 103 fewer this spring. Ninety-four fewer graduate students enrolled for spring with the freshman class about holding its own at a half percent growth.
A Home at Windrush is a healthy investment.
"We are confronted with the responsibility of educating more students with less state funding," Lillard said. The cut in funding caused adjustments in 232 class sections for the spring semester, Dr. James Perry, academic vice president, explained. That included the cancellation of 147 sections and the combination of another 85 sections. While Perry pointed out the adjustments were made with students' needs most in mind, he emphasized the cuts haven't been totally painless. "I think all of us are surprised enrollment is as strong as it is," Perry said. "Faculty, staff and students should be complimented on accomplishing the changes as smoothly as they did. "I am not proud of the fact classes are larger now than they would have been or that some sections that were offered in the day and at night are now offered only at one time or the other," Perry said. "There is a burden and I look forward to the time we can expand those offerings," he concluded. Speaking of the changes that came with the continued increase in enrollment, Lillard pointed out the system worked. "The mechanics of the system didn't break down," he said.
Because a home at Windrush Condominiums gives you far more than a place to live. It gives you a healthy lifestyle all your own, right outside your door. At Windrush , there are racquetball, tennis and volleyball ccurts to keep you in shape. The indoor swimming pool has a retractable cover — the first of its kind for a condominium in Oklahoma — to give you a real, natural, year-round tan. A Jacuzzi whirlpool will soothe tired muscles after jogging. An athletic director is on hand full time to help with exercise programs and lessons. And when you want to take it easy, there are slower paced enjoyments: an indoor driving range, walking paths on landscaped grounds, or the club house. Invest in a healthy life.

Philosophy club promotes ideas •
•
By MaryGaye Franklin Associate Editor Students who join the philosophy club at CSU are those who are interested in discussing and examining their views and beliefs with others, according to Scott Birdwell, president of the philosophy club. The philosophy club on campus has been inactive for about two years, said Dr. Clarence Parker, philosophy club advisor. But because of interest by students the club has filed with the administration to be recognized as an active club on campus. "Our purpose is to promote philosophy among the students on the CSU campus," Birdwell said. "Members were united by a common interest of contributing
stimulating information to the meetings. "For the first time we are pushing to put the philosophy club on the CSU map. We want to draw members from all areas on campus who are interested in current and important topics." The reason people join the philosophy club, according to Parkeris: "It provides students with the opportunity to exchange ideas with others. Students who attend those meetings have a good opportunity to express their ideas and also have questions raised by others who may disagree with their ideas. "These questions provide a chance to see if they can offer some rationale, defense and justification for their beliefs. I am

of the belief that the question of what do you believe about an issue is not very interesting, what is interesting is what is the evidence for substantiating their ideas." According to Birdwell, any CSU student may join and the membership fee is $2. Regular meetings are held once a month on the second Wednesday. Topics of discussion for the meetings are decided by the membership. "Each months topic will be decided at the end of the last meeting," Birdwell said. "This gives members a month to compile stimulating information andor prepare presentations. "We encourage members to explore their own points of interest within the broad general topic chosen for the month. At the meetings they will present their point of view to the membership. In this way we hope to cultivate rational discourse on current issues."

According to Birdwell in March the topic of discussion is the future, including thoughts on energy sources, irrationalism, impending revolution and government of the future. "In April we will be holding a public symposium with representatives from the five great religions: Buddism, Hinduism, Judiasm, and Christianity," Birdwell said. "Our purpose is to expose the public to other religions, we feel that this is conducive to a healthy perspective on religion." Birdwell said that if enough interest in shown in a subject they will hold a public symposium within two weeks in order to share the information with the public. Parker said he feels that a large part of the philosophical approach to problems is a person examining his own beliefs and seeing if they are reasonable. "I am of the firm belief that everyone has a philosophy,"

Parker said. "To think only people who teach philosophy or who take philosophy classes develop a philosophy is false. "By virtue of holding certain values, certain things as important, subscribing to certain morays, political or religious beliefs, educational philosophy, all of the big issues down under have a basic philosophical question."

Math degree offers more marketability By MaryGaye Franklin Associate Editor CSU is now offering a graduate program in mathematics designed to make the graduates of the program more marketable as employees, according to Dr. Glenda Owens, chairman of mathematics. The degree is called the master of science in applied mathematical sciences. "We are very proud of the program," Owens said. "We have worked very hard on it and it is the first masters program in the department." The degree is designed to prepare people to meet the demand by industry, business and government for individuals with expertise in the applications of the mathematical sciences, Owens said. While ensuring sound mathematical training, the degree program concentrates on the development of widely applicable intellectual skills and provides experience with concrete problems. According to Owens the degree is starkly different from a traditional masters degree in mathematics. "The difference in the degree is in the course content and the direction of the degree. This degree is strictly applications oriented whereas the traditional masters in math is much more theoretical in nature," Owens said. "We are trying to prepare employees for the world as it is today. We are also trying to provide training in the area of computer science teaching. There is a need for people trained to teach computer science." The program requires students to select an area of concentration from four options: mathematics, computer science, statistics and mathematicscomputer science teaching. Even though the option in computer science and statistics is offered, according to Owens, it is still a math degree because the essentially the candidate must

have an undergraduate degree in mathematics. "Even though this is a math degree it is the closest thing we have to a graduate degree in computer science," Owens said. "We hope to be able to develop a cornputer science graduate program in the future." "The program has evolved over the past 7 years," Owens said. "During that time we contacted numerous individuals in the business community to determine any suggestions or recommendations they might have for the program. Owens said they have also contacted former students to get their opinions about what should be included in the program. "We are very hopeful that our students will be quite marketable as employees and the graduates of the program will be easily employed," Owens said." Along with the course requirements and electives, degree candidates may choose from a traditional thesis program or a non-thesis program. "The student who wishes to go the non-thesis route must enroll in a new course called projects," Owens said. "They would then complete a project which would be formulating and writing the solution to a real life problem." Graduate dean Bill Fisher said that at present there are about 8-10 students enrolled in the program.

Big Bird came to say farewell to Alvin Alcorn, executive vice president, on his last day at CSU courtesy of the women in health and physical education department, according to Dr. Virginia Peters. Upon arrival at Alcorn's office, Big Bird (Dr. Kathleen Black) "laid" an egg for Alcorn with a little bird inside. The bird went on a music box they presented to Alcorn. They also gave him bulbs for his garden and an original poem naming him the "Big Bird of CSU."

Carrie Tucker scored 18 points to lead the Bronchos to victory. Head coach, John Keely said his girls led at the half by 7, but that Bethany was beginning to make a come back. "Atter the first half we led by seven, but then Bethany came back and took the lead from us by one point," Keely said "After that, they'd score and
go up by one and then we'd score and go up. It went like that just about until the final minute of the game when we got about three ahead and then just stayed there," Keely said. Kim Cramer had 16 points for CSU while BNC's Michele Hurst led both teams with 20 points. Her teammate Lisa Christopher had 16 points. With this win, the Bronchos should move up into third place in the rankings, making them eligible for the homecourt advantage come playoff time.

before Christmas because of an ineligible player and this helped to move the Bronchos up in the rankings. "With the forfeits from Bethany we moved up into third place and changed our record to 15-6 overall and 14-5 in the NAIA," Keely said. "That helps us out a lot, but it also moved some of the other teams into better positions with respect to the playoffs. We are really going to have to play tough for the rest of the season if we want to stay in third place. One loss could put us back into eighth place real quick," Keely said. Both the men's and the women's team travel to Enid Saturday to play Phillips University. Keely said he is looking for some stiff competition and just "a real tough ol' ballgame." "They've got a girl there by the name of Lori Smith who is the leading scoring in the NAIA. We'll need to stop her for sure," Keely said. "We beat them back before Christmas but we used a full-court press to do it. I'm going to watch the video of the last game and see what I need to do for Saturday when I'll figure out my game plan." Keely said he really hasn't planned anything new or different for the Bronchos, but plans to just play the Plainsmen as tough as he can. He'll be relying on the talents on his regular starters which include Carrie Tucker, Jackie Eckels, Kim Cramer, Allete Johnson and either Beverly Crawford or Liegh LeGrand in the number five spot.
