Guild assailant sought by police By Kristi Kirk Staff Writer Police are still searching for the man who beat Central State University assistant professor Tom Guild with a baseball bat Friday, Captain Bob Jones of the Oklahoma City police department said. Guild, 34, of Oklahoma City, was treated for undisclosed injuries during a three-day stay at Mercy Hospital, a hospital spokesperson said. Police reports show he was hit in the head at least once. "It's all currently under investigation. We are trying to establish the identity of the suspect. From there we will ask his side of the story," said Assault Detective John Scully. Charges cannot be filed unless the man is found. Police said they believe he may have fled to Dallas. "But, you cannot go out issuing lots of warrants for John Does," said Scully. Guild refused to discuss the attack, but did verify Monday in a telephone interview he was beaten and hospitalized. "I didn't go to work today, and I really don't feel like talking about it," Guild said at the time. Captain Bob Jones said Guild knows his assailant only as "Michael." The assault squad is investigating the case for any evidence that may lead to his identity. Police reports describe Michael
as a 19-year-old white male with brown medium length straight hair combed back, blue eyes, a round face, and a casual appearance. He is approximately 6 foot 1 inch tall weighing 165 pounds. Scully said Guild met the suspect several weeks ago in Dallas and the man asked Guild for a ride to the Turner Turnpike toll gate in Oklahoma City. The man said he would then hitch a ride to Tulsa. "Guild apparently gave the Please see Guild on page 8.

ew CSU radio station airs Feb. 1
By Brian Brus Student Writer KBLZ is now broadcasting to Edmond cable television subscribers from CSU's television annex building. Broadcast on FM 93.7, the CSU radio lab station will play progressive and rock 'n' roll alternately, according to operations manager Jay Coomes. Students enrolled in the lab will receive one credit hour for their work on the station. "Although it was established for radio classes, we have a lot of non-media broadcast majors involved," Coomes said. "One of the main themes of our promotions will be explaining to people how to get KBLZ," he said. To listen to KBLZ, it is necessary to subscribe to Edmond cable television, and to have an
FM signal splitter attached to the television. The station does not broadcast over the airwaves like CSU station KCSC, but through the television cable system. Listeners can expect to hear "progressive and alternative rock 'n' roll, some New Wave, and long-playing dance re-mixes," Coomes said. "We will play some Top-40, but all the music will be up-tempo. No slow songs." The station will be on the air 2-11 p.m., but Coomes said he would like to see times changed to 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. KBLZ began broadcasts Feb. 1 from new facilities in the television annex building. It also shares some office space with television station KCSU-2. KBLZ is funded by the oral
communications department, but we should be trying some news it will run advertisements if it and sports," Coomes said. KBLZ will use its own student gathers a large enough audience. "Within the next three weeks, reporters.
Regents scholarships available from fall By Ray Garner Student Writer The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education has scholarships available for high school seniors planning to attend Oklahoma's colleges and universities. According to regents spokesperson Jenie Edney, $850,000 was made available in the fall of last year.
Senate elects speaker with revote By Kristi Kirk Staff Writer Daniel Moore became student association senate speaker in Monday's re-vote, defeating Randal Terrill 13-8 and following Terrill's win in the invalid election of Jan. 23. "I feel a lot better about it this week than I did last week," speaker-elect Moore said. Terrill had won the earlier election for the position 14-13 over Moore and subsequently presided over two meetings. However, three senators with excess absences had voted illegally and invalidated the election, student senate officials said. Former speaker Tim Kallman resigned his position earlier this semester because of work and
class conflicts. • Moore, deputy speaker at that time, assumed his duties under the provisions of the student association constitution. Moore said the constitution had no provision for his officially becoming speaker, so he ruled in favor of an election. "There just isn't a real step-up provision. I would only be assuming the duties of the speaker while in effect remaining deputy speaker. That wouldn't be fair to me or the senate body," Moore said. The senate voted Monday in favor of Resolution 88-103, revising student association senate bylaws. They moved officer provisions out of the constitution and into separate by-laws. "I don't think we made any provisions for this instance," Moore
said about the passed resolution. Senators debated for their favorite candidate by accusing Terrill of being unethical or claiming the press "just crucifies politcal people." One senator threw his bookbag on the table to get opponents' attention. After the secret ballots were counted Terrill said, "I really didn't lose the election; I lost the re-vote." He said the senators removed from the roles voted for him in the first election, and the claims of absences are "inconsistent and wrong." He also questioned the validity of the action since no sponsor was present. Still, Terrill said he is happy for Moore. He is glad to be a senator again so he can voice opinions more freely.
"I'm also happy because I think it's time we end this political bickering, heal all wounds, and get on to bigger and better things." As a result of Moore's victory, all of the senate offices and most committee chairs lost out to Moore's appointments. The new senate officers are: Joe Stare, deputy speaker; Daniel Ferguson, historian; and Jeff Shilling, parliamentarian. Committees are chaired as follows: Tim Heflin, commuter affairs; Joacquin Stevens, continuum; and Alan Polhill, housing. Moore offered the faculty relations chairman seat to Terrill, who has not confirmed the position. The budget chairman seat is open.
No monies have been handed out as of yet because of long procedures, problems with proper identification of students involved, and efforts to get equitable participation in the program. National Merit, Achievement, Hispanic, and Presidential students enrolled full-time with a minimum score of 30 on the ACT are eligible to receive $4,000 over a four-year period. National Merit, Achievement, and Hispanic Scholar Finalists also enrolled full-time with an ACT score of 30 or better are eligible for $2,000 over the same period of time. "The scholarships are not limited to students from Oklahoma, but to any student from other states wishing to enter a college or university in Oklahoma," Edney said. Edney added that the funds were being distributed to enhance the schools in Oklahoma with top ranked students, retain students after graduation to settle here, and basically strengthen the universities and colleges in Oklahoma to compete with other schools in the nation. "We're losing more students than we're gaining," Edney said. Since 1986 more than 4,000 students have left the state for other schools.
