New regulations hit CSU commuters By Price Oswalt Any vehicle on the campus of CSU that does not display current license plates as well as carry mandatory liabilty insurance, is now subject to fines and possible impoundment. Chief Jimm Dunn, CSU campus police chief, submitted the two new proposals to the Traffic Appeals Board at the Board's February meeting. See related story on page 3
Being towed away is no fun for all concerned as the owner of this unlucky car found out. New regulations regarding tags and insurance could make this scene more common in the future.
"The measures call for us (the police department) to be able to issue tickets for any vehicle that does not have current tags. We have never had that privilege before," said Dunn. Fines of $3 are usually issued prior to mid-term exams, while afterwards, the fines are $5 per violation. The new regulations also allow for any officer to request proof of mandatory liability insurance. Penalty of not beng able to produce such verification is a $20 fine. "The new state law requires you to produce proof of liability insurance prior to being able to purchase your tags," Dunn says. "Most insurance companies urge you to carry this proof in your glove box." Dunn stressed to the Appeals Board, that if the Oklahoma Highway Patrol makes a routine traffic stop, they request the drivers' license and insurance verification. He says such will be the case at CSU.
CSU joins automated program
Chips replacing books in libraries High tech, computerized information gathering has moved out of the business office and into the library, the bastion of laborious, tedious, time consuming labor. In the time it takes to type a subject onto a computer screen,
students and researchers at CSU can have at their fingertips not only a complete listing of all the material in the library on that subject but also the status of the item. The computer will tell users where the material is located, is it
checked out, on loan or missing in action. In 1981, CSU joined a select group of universities who had purchased the automated library program developed at Nor-
thwestern University in Evanston, Ill. Adopting the acronym NOTIS, the group at that time consisted of seven universities around the country. Recently, Harvard University joined the NOTIS
Martin's departure leaving gap By Melva Smith Sandra Martin, director of advertising, won't be returning to Central State next fall. "I really enjoy CSU, especially the students, but a private institution such as OCU can allow personal opportunities that aren't always available in a state operated school, which are often restricted by state policy," Martin said. Her desire to enjoy seniority, tenure and chance for advancing in areas of interest were all con-
tributing factors to her decision, more so than the finacial advancment, she said. Martin came to CSU in the fall of 1983 with a host of career experiences that actually began while she was an undergraduate. As an art and journalism major, she became a newswriter. Later, the head of the graduate committee helped her obtain a training position at Compton Adverting Agency in Chicago. At Compton, she was present for the launching of the "Captain

Crunch" campaign, a nationally recognized cereal product. Returning to Oklahoma because of a serious illness in her family, she contiuned her career in the advertising field as assistant manager of advertising for the John A. Brown Company. She also worked as the promotions director for the Channel 9 and as an instuctor at Oklahoma City University. Besides her duties as advertising director here, she is a partner in a respected consulting firm, a mother and a wife. "Sandy", as she is affectionatly called by students and instructors, manages all of the above and still finds time to sponsor the CSU Advertising Club. She is, however, able to juggle this busy schedule effectively. "I make time for my marriage and my children, but the credit must go to our housekeeper for keeping our home civilized," Martin said. Martin says "nervous energy" is her inspiration.
"Nervous energy is not nessarily shared by people in this profession, but it's a trait shared by people who just enjoy what they do", Martin said. In the short time she's been at CSU, she has had a profound effect on the advertising department. "She's a real dynamo," observed Chuck Simmons, photography instructor, who advised his students to seek her advice on matters of advertising strategies. His respect for her was apparent as it is with most of her collegues. Professor Simmons was recently observed turning a student over to her saying, "She can even tell you about the Black Media Association." "Im glad she came," Deborah Thorwart, Advertising Club president, said. "Sandy is so energetic and she thoroughly knows her subject. But most of all, she's fair. That's something I think is extremely important in a creative field, where student egos soar." see Martin page 3
group, as did the Tulas CityCounty library system, the first NOTIS public library in the country. Automation of the library has been incredibly inexpensive, Lolley said. "We got into it when the price was low. It has gone up considerably since 1981. "It is the best bargain on campus," Lolley said. "We're ahead of everyone in the state. What we have at CSU is the 'state of the art."' "The key to library use is the ability of the users to locate the books and periodicals they need," said Dr. John Lolley, director of library services. "Put another way, can the library provide the product that it does best, information?" Traditionally, that information has been avaliable in the card catalog. But the time honored catalog could only tell if the material was a part of the collection. The automated system now avaliable at CSU tells the user if the material is in the collection, if it is avaliable for use and if not, why. By using one of the 16 public access teminals located throughout the library, a student or researcher can type onto the video screen the author, title of the book or subject. The automated catalog will then inform him that the book is either on order, in the circulating collection, checked out, on see Library page 3

Opinion Page Cartoons disgust reader Letter to the Editor I am becoming increasingly disgusted with the "opinions" of cartoonist James Lambert. I cannot read a single issue of the Vista without wanting to throw up! His "cartoons" are completely devoid of humor. They serve no constructive purpose whatsoever. If a bonified Communist blatantly riduculed the government of the United States, everyone in the country would want him either deported or shot, yet any "American" can poke fun at our government anytime he or she doesn't like the way our President picks his nose! Jerry, your apathy is obvious, as is your intelligence. Christine Carkin
Financial aid needs first aid Letter to the Editor: In a time of few jobs and budget cuts, it's nice to know there is help available to the financially struggeling student. Or is there? I returned to CSU after a five year lapse, feeling slightly defeated by the real world. How could I afford to finish my education knowing I would have to cut my working hours in half?
World peace promoted with Vatican connection By Melissa Mercer In the wake of an overdue diplomatic tie to the Vatican, Reagan's nomination of William Wilson as Ambassador to the Holy See has met with substantial resistance. The voices being raised around the country are not from congress but from the angry dominion behind the pulpit. Many Protestants have charged that the nomination violates the separation of church and state, which technically, is a just concern, but is profoundly shortsighted in the face of world unrest and widespread terrorism. Guarantees under the First Amendment provide for the free practice of

religion and the promise that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." This contains no restriction regarding the influence a religious faction may bring into political concern. On this premise, the Moral Majority and its leader, Jerry Falwell, sent an urgent mailgram to its supporters in May soliciting action in response to the Democratic telethon. Editorial The memo requested its 100,000 members to flood the phone lines in support of the president and foil the efforts of the "liberal, anti-family, prohomosexual, pro-nuclear freeze, proabortion candidates." Ironically, when asked his opinion on sending an ambassador to the Vatican, Falwell felt that a bad precedent was being set. It is no secret that most of the evangelistic Christian right-wing feels little affinity for Catholicism. A television show hosted by evangelist Jimmy Lee Swaggart was removed from two Boston stations and two Atlanta stations for broadcasting anti-Jewish and anti-Catholic sentiments, particularly attacking Mother Theresa of Calcutta and her accessability to heaven. Criticism of Wilson's appointment by this faction seems hardly surprising, but if its objection is based on the political influence the pope will gain in U.S. affairs, it is difficult to discern which advantages the Vatican would enjoy that religious lobbyists in America do not. The greatest difference is the "official" nature of an ambassador. By
the same token, the Vatican is an official state. A representative from one state to another hardly constitutes a breech of the First Amendment or legislation in religious affairs. To the contrary, it recognizes the leverage each the U.S. and the Vatican carry in world affairs. The benefit this brings to the United States is clear. The number of Catholic followers in the world is staggering. Added representation through the Vatican in South America shows great possibilities for improved U.S. relations, as well as proving to be a viable instrument for negotiation with unfriendly nations. As a benefit to the Vatican, the open communication will enable the pope to further the "cause of Catholicism", which seems to be a focal point for the opposition. During the late 1950's, Pope John XXIII, on his 80th birthday, began diplomatic correspondence with Premier Kruschev for the first time since the beginning of the cold war. From that point forward, each pope has made his foremost endeavor a quest for world peace. Objection to this "cause" is defeating at the very least. A diplomatic relationship with the Vatican is by no means a new concept. The pope has entertained ambassadors since the late fifteenth century. In the 117 years the U.S. has been without a formal relaionship, ties with the Holy See have nevertheless remained in tact. As we approach the next century, maintaining peace in the world becomes increasingly difficult and old alliances are wearing thin. Certainly the prospect of solidifying the tie with a stable ally is a reasonable move for the Reagan administration, and a benefit to world peace.
Yet, how could I resist the temptation of that old familiar security? With newfound determination, I proceeded directly to the Financial Aid Dept. of CSU. After stating my status and situation, my best bet, they said, was to apply for the Guaranteed Student Loan. I was to fill out the forms, in triplicate, return them as soon as possible and the processing would take only 4-6 weeks. Hallelujah, I thought, there was help for the hopeless and just in time for the spring semester. The deadline for tuition payment came quickly, and with no money in sight, I, naturally, began to panic. Several hours and several calls later, I was told, "Your loan papers are scheduled to be typed and sent out on March 6." So, after borrowing from friends, relatives and my cat to make ends meet, I'll receive my loan during the middle of the semester. Isn't there a better way? Maybe we need to establish another department. A financial aid department for those students who are waiting for financial aid to come through from the main office. It could be a take-off of the motorcycle ad we hear on the radio. "Bring us your completed tax forms, and we'll get you a motorcycle while you wait for your refund." Our department philosophy could be, "Do you need a loan to help you make it while you are waiting for your school loan?" "Great! fill out these forms in triplicate..." C. Melton ■

State,local, world news Marines ordered offshore Tuesday President Reagan ordered the gradual withdrawal of most U.S. Marines from Beirut to the relative safety of ships offshore. At the same time, he gave wider authority for American warships to retaliate against the foes of Lebanon's government "We will stand firm to deter those who seek to influence Lebanon's future by intimidation," the president said. Reagan gave the U.S. fleet off Beirut free rein to provide naval fire and air support against any units shooting into greater Beirut from Syrian-controlled Lebanese territory, as well as against any units directly attacking American or multinational force personnel and facilities. The statement came hours after Marine helicopters evacuated non-essential American embassy personnel and their dependents from Beirut in what the State Department called a "prudent response" to fighting in the embattled city.
Astronauts 'walk' in space Two American astronauts left the safety of their shuttle Tuesday and flew unrestrained for the first time. Said the first man out to the second: "Go enjoy it; have a ball. Bruce McCandless, then Robert Stewart, unhooked their lifelines and slowly rose up, up and away from Challenger, carried by a $10 million jet-powered backpack. Although they had no sensation of speed, the astronauts were traveling 4.8 miles a second as they zipped over the spinning earth below. They'll do it again today. Never before in 59 space walks-46 American and 13 Soviet—had a man ventured out without a lifeline. Tuesday's exercise was a rehearsal for the next shuttle flight when other space walkers will try to retrieve an ailing satellite, bring it into the cargo bay for repair and release it to orbit again.

Martin accounts for the rather "groupie" attitude of her students by saying,"I think they know I care and I really want them to have the best possible
shot at their goals. "It's a highly competitive field. My concern is to help them, but also I'd like to be respected for having trained very good advertising students.

'Big Mek' a fake A Yugoslavian entrepeneur who nibbled on one of capitalism's sacred cows is facing a "Big Mac attack." That's because Asim Mujic, who put arches in front of his restaurant and a "Big Mek" on the menu in hopes of luring hamburger-starved Western tourists who have descended on Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, for the Winter Olympics has drawn the ire of the real "Big Mac"—McDonald's Corp. In front of the restaurant sits an arched "M," unmistakeable in imitation even though it is painted red instead of golden; on the menu is a "Big Mek"—a burger on an oversized, crusty bun, garnished with onions, white Yugoslavian cheese and a pink "special" sauce. "We sent a cable to our European representatives last week to go there (Sarajevo) and ask the people involved to discontinue use of our trademarks," McDonald's spokesman Steve Leroy said Tuesday from McDonald's Oak Brook headquarters.

Illegal evidence Ok'd The Senate, with strong support from prosecutors, voted 63-24 Tuesday night for legislation that would allow federal judges to admit some illegally obtained evidence in criminal trials. The modification of the "exclusionary rule," one of the most debated law enforcement issues, went to the House. The new bill would allow admission in federal criminal cases of improperly obtained evidence—if law enforcement officers had a "reasonable good faith belief" they acted properly.

Creationists want equal time ini textbooks By Traci Baucom Associate Editor In 1860, Darwin's Theory of Evolution was debated at Oxford
University, opening the way for academic freedom and much more debate. The debate continues today in Oklahoma and the other 49 states. The question is, how should educational textbooks handle the evolution theory and the creation theory? In the late 1960s, Susan Epperson, a professor of biology at the University of Arkansas, took Darwin's Theory to the courts and demanded the right to teach it to her students. Since then, it has been against the law to forbid educators to teach the theory. At this point, most textbooks deal with Darwin's Theory, some mention Larmack's Theory, but most do not contain the creation theory. Oklahoma's colleges and universities are not inhibited by state approval of textbooks, but its highschools are. Evolution and sex education will be two of the topics considered by Edmond's textbook committee members in the next few months. Some groups feel there should be room in the textbooks for alternative theories, mainly the creation theory, according to Dr. Dorothy Frosch, CSU biology professor. This has led to a down play by publishers in their treatment of evolution in recent years, Frosch said. Problems begin to emerge when the children of Fundamentalist Christians attend public schools, where they encounter biological evolution, according to a recent article in the monthly National
Because the courts have repeatedly thrown out laws that have attempted to introduce biblical creationism into the schools, fundamentalist Christians have most recently begun calling their beliefs by a new name—Scientific Creationism, the article said. Biologist and scientists say the two theories are two separate ideas, and because of this, they should not be compared side by side, one in contrast to the other. Dr. Ralph W. Lewis, a professor of biology at Michigan State University, says, "Within the science of biology the theory of evolution is a very active and a very fruitful theory. It simplifies the management of millions of facts by giving them a rational order. "It leads to the discovery of thousands of new facts each year. These are important characteristics of a good scientific theory. "The so-called theory of special creation is not active or fruitful as a biological theory. Almost no biologists consider it to be a part of the science of biology." According to Lewis, the great tragedy of arguments over the creation theory as opposed to the evolution theory is the belittling impact upon religion. Every scientist knows, he says, that the best of scientific theories encompass but limited portions of human experience. On the other hand, Lewis says every truly religious person knows that a religion encompasses the

keep theology out of science curricula and that to do otherwise is to create dangerous confusion in the public mind over the nature of science. Darwin's Theory of Evolution, explained by Frosch, says that variation is innate, that all organisms appear to vary. The number of individuals in a species remains constant from generation to generation. More organisms are born than can possibly survive. Therefore, a high mortality rate exists, which would explain the constant number of individuals in a species. In a continual competition for food, space, light and mates, only the fittest survive. Parents of the next generation are naturally selected for by their effectiveness of overcoming these hazards. Heredity ensures that offspring of such parents will carry through their high qualities. Therefore, by gradual change, subsequent generations continually improve. It should be noted, however, that the scientific community has yet to accept Darwin's Theory as a "law". It remains a highly regarded "theory". The Creation Model, according to Frank Awbrey, in the Summer 1980 issue of Creation—Evolution, includes these points: —All kinds were created seperately, each kind is unique and fixed and genetically highly variable. — Humans were uniquely created.
—All humans descended from the original couple. —The Flood began 1656 years after creation. —The only survivors were aboard one boat; 8 humans and one pair of most kinds of animals survived. —Flood survivors populated the earth. —All living species are descendants of the survivors. They were modified by horizontal change to fill the earth. The animals had original variability. —All species degenerate since disorder must increase. Another subject receiving prominence in biology textbooks is sex education, according to Frosch. "There used to be very little information concerning human reproduction in our books," Frosch said. "Now in the modern biology books you will find much written on the significance of sexual reproduction, the male and female anatomy, the sperm and the ovarian cycles. "But they really don't have anything in the books regarding birth control. I believe there should be supplementary informaton in that area." Another very touchy area not yet taught in the classrooms or covered in the textbooks is abortion, Frosch said. She feels that in order for a person to make an intellectual decision concerning an abortion they should be aware of the emotional and physical changes that may result.

vast ranges of human experience and the great ranges of all things imagined beyond experience and things unknown to experience. Lewis went on to say that a true religion encompasses all this with a majesty, a glory and a magnificence that engenders hope and steadfastness in the human spirit. "The theory of evolution does not do these things,” Lewis said. "Rather it sheds light in one corner of man's rational existence. "If this relatively small portion of the rational world looms large in a religious context then the religion must be exceedingly small. Or those who are thinking of these topics in this way must have momentarily forgotten the vastness and majesty of their religion. "Let us put away the arguments of the last century and get on with the great problems of building both the rational and the religious components of human culture so as to guide the present and the future activities of man toward the great ideals found in the great religions," Lewis concluded. The National Association of Biology Teachers also says that science and creationism are based on different logical frameworks. The NABT explains that one theory attempts to comprehend natural laws that are assumed to be immutable, deliberately disregarding the question of a diety; the other attempts to cornprehend the relationship between humans and their diety. They suggest the answer is to

of the top romance writers in the country with 15 books in print and four more under contract to be released. They have been published in nine languages including Japanese and Finnish. Her book, A Spy For Love is currently on the romance bestseller list. "Sara is the first student in this department to have 15 books published," Warren said. "All of the book publishers tell me that they can't keep enough of her books in stock. They sell out as fast as they get them." According to Orwig, she has been writing on and off all of her life. Her published works included historical and contemporary romance novels for a number of different publishers. Her first book was Runaway Desire published by Major Books in 1977. Orwig orignially tried writing mysteries but said that she decided not to pursue that avenue of writing. "I saw that there was a good field for romances out there and decided to start writing them," Orwig said. Runaway Desire and many of her other books are what is known as Regency romances. They are set in the 1800s in England and according to Orwig, they are light and witty. With a number of her novels set in foreign countries and in historical times Orwig finds she must do a great deal of research and has a large research library in her garage. "I go to old book sales and pick up old textbooks or any nonfiction books that might be helpful," Orwig said. "It takes a variety of information to write a historical novel. "I have done research and keep files on the clothing of the time,
the carriages and the weapons that they used." According to Orwig most of the contemporary novels are set here in the United States. "I write about places that I have visited around the country," • Orwig said. "Ideas for my stories are easy to find. Some come from newspaper articles, some have come from photographs in magazines. I have an active imagination," Orwig declared. She added that she gets her ideas for characters in the same manner as she gets story ideas. "Sometimes a story idea will come first and sometimes an idea for a character will come first. "I wrote a long book with the setting in Brazil called Magic Obsession," Orwig said. "It was based on a newspaper article about Confederates who fled the south after the Civil War and settled in Brazil. So in this case, the story came first." Orwig also has a pen name, Daisy Logan. According to Orwig, one of her publishers requested that she use a pen name on the books that they published and it would be specifically for that line of books. "They asked me for a pen name and I sent them a list of about ten names and they scrambled them together and came up with Daisy Logan," Orwig said. "I really didn't care what name they used. Three of her books are hardbacks and the rest are paperbacks. They have been published in Canada, England and the United States. She plans to keep on writing romances stating that she enjoys writing them and that there is enough difference in the historical and contemporary books it gives her a broad range to work with to keep her interest high.

Champion going for fourth title
Grapplers pin high hopes on James
By Jimmy Nikell Saying that Ronnie James is just an ordinary wrestler would be like saying that Pete Rose was a normal baseball player, or that Julius Erving was a mediocre basketball player. James, a Del City graduate will try to become Central State's first four-time national champion next month in the NAIA National Tournament here on the CSU campus. He is also bidding to become the Bronchos third, fourtime All-American.
James, who wrestles at the 142-pound weight category, has built some impressive statistics during his tenure at CSU. Last season, he collected first-place finishes at the Nebraska-Omaha Invitational, Sunshine Open, Southwest Missouri Invitational, and won his third NAIA National Championship. Along with that, James rolled up an impressive 23-3 dual record. This season, James picked up where he left off. He is 34-3 in overall competition this season,
YISTg
collecting four falls, and four major decisions. As if that wasn't enough, James has again collected championships at the Omaha Open, Southwest Missouri Invitational, and the Sunshine Open. He has also added the Central Missouri and the Ozark Open titles to his collections. It would seem that with a record like this, James might become complacent. This is hardly the case. "If I win, I win, but then again
SPORTS
Last-second shot provides win By Mike Sherman Center Phil Giachino hit a running, left-handed hook shot and completed the three-point play with a free throw with 16 seconds remaining to give the Bronchos a 52-50 come-back win over Southeastern State University Wednesday night at Broncho Field House. It was only the second win for the Bronchos since the winter break and they had to overcome a 16-point deficit midway through the second half to get it. Southeastern held a 10-point cushion with just over six minutes remaining when the Bronchos pressure defense, led by guards Keith Russell and Andy Parker, took its toll on the Savages. Reserve guard Curt Foster pushed the Bronchos into the lead for the first time in the second half a minute later when he hit two straight layups, putting the locals up 49-48. Southeastern's Harry Spivey put the Savages back on top momentarily with a jumper at the 2:30 mark. The Broncho defense, which forced 14 Savage tirnovers on the evening, kept the pressure on SESU in the last two minutes, but CSU was unable to capitalize until Giachino's three-point play. The Savages, clinging to a one-point lead, retreated to their four-corners delay game hoping to ice the lead, but Russell and Kersgeiter pressured Spivey into a bad pass to set up the winning shot.
Spivey may have locked up the game's "goat award" when he forced a shot from 20-feet, hitting nohing but air, to end any Savage hopes with eight seconds showing. The District Nine's most dominant player, Dennis Rodman of SESU, took the game's high scorer honors with 21 points, hitting on 10 of 16 from the field. Rodman had two show-stopping slam dunks in the first half to help the Savages to an early lead. But the district's leading scorer and rebounder could only manage one of five from the freethrow line. The Savages' failure at the line cost them dearly down the stretch as they hit only 40 percent. The Bronchos were spurred on by the return of Kersgieter to the lineup. Kersgieter had not played since the first half of the season, sitting out with a broken hand. But the sophomore from Edmond showed no signs of rustiness as he came off the bench to score 14 points and grab seven rebounds. Russell, the team's leading scorer with a 17.3 point average, shared the team-high honor with Kersgieter. Giachino added nine to the Broncho effort. Southeastern Jack Hedden was forced to play seldom-used reserves midway through the second half when forwards Miles Homer and Spivey picked up their fourth foul. The victory upped the Bronchos mark to 8-16 on the season.

if I lose, I'm not going to let that get me down. I'm just going to try to take it all in stride and do the best job I can do," James said. Head Coach David James, Ronnie's older brother, feels having an individual like Ronnie James has a big impact on the team. "He's one of our team leaders. His leadership results are just given by what he does on the mat," the elder James stated. Coach James went on to say, "he's a quiet guy, but he gives us so much leaderhip by his wrestling ability, that it's invaluable." The Bronchos have one dual meet left, that being with Adams State on Feb. 11. After that, CSU has three weeks to prepare for the national championship and the younger James is looking forward to both the rest and the tournament. "We'll have a chance to get some rest during those couple weeks and be able to be intense
Adams State next foe on CSU mat schedule By Jimmy Nickell The Central State Broncho wrestling team, ranked number one in the latest NAIA polls, host second ranked Adams State Colorado, Saturday evening, in the Broncho Fieldhouse. Central State and Adams State have held down the top two spots in the polls all season. The match will also be a semi-preview of the natinonal tournament, which will be held on the CSU campus. The Bronchos were defeated by Adams last season in a very tight match, 21-20, on the strength of a Gary Guderus pin in the heavyweight match. CSU had led, 20-15 going into that match, but Guderus' fall paved the way for ASC's close decision. The grapplers went 2-1-1 in four duals last week, to up their dual record to 10-4-1. Their only loss came to the University of
