Retirement perk lures employees; Lillard: No plans

Snow can be troublesome for motorists By Susan Garrett Snow on the CSU campus is not a winter wonderland for all. For Junior Elizabeth White the cold, snowy weather left her with a dead battery. When she tried to find assistance, she soon found out that campus police are restricted from helping stranded motorists with jump starts. In the campus police office, White wrestled with a tangled set of jumper cables. "They gave me battery cables but said they couldn't help me," said White. "It's against their policy — something to do with insurance." Bob Roberts, campus police chief, said the policy was inacted after several police car's alternators were damaged during the jumping process. Roberts also said the university was taking a liability risk. • "If one of our people would be injured while jumping that vehicle — of course the university would be liable for it." While snowfall usually means an increase in accidents, Roberts said none have been reported on campus. "I'm sure you noticed on campus a lot of students didn't come today," said Roberts. "The less people here, the less problems you're going to have. We've had a pretty easy day."

By Curtis Killman Editor A new retirement plan is luring many senior Central State employees into retirement this year, but despite speculation the University's chief administrator said he has no plans to step down. "I'm knowledgeable concerning the benefits, but I have no timetable at this time for retirement," Lillard said Friday. The retirement plan is a onetime offer that offers a 6 percent boost in retirement pay to CSU employees. Athletic Director Charles Murdock, who announced his retirement last week, said the benefit increase was one of the chief factors leading him to make the decision to step down. But, one thing is certain, CSU employees pondering retirement will make their decision soon. To qualify for the 6 percent increase, an employee must notify administrators by June 10. Administrators usually ask retiring employees to submit their notice 60 to 90 days before their contracts expire in June. Employees who choose to pass up the retirement offer would give up a sizeable income. Lillard said the retirement perk is so good that a CSU employee would have to stay with the university for two more years

before he would qualify for the same benefits that are being offered now. But Lillard, the university's seventeenth president, wouldn't really say yes or no when asked about retirement. "You don't announce you're not retiring," Lillard said, "you announce when you're going to retire. "It's just like the weather as we say on classes. We don't announce at Central State we're having classes, we announce if we're not going to have classes. One of the reasons for the increased speculation of Lillard's retirement is due to the "decade of excellence" public relations campaign that has been launched this year. The theme of the campaign revolves around Lillard's ten-year reign as president of Central State University. From homecoming themes to banquets to new stationary — the "decade of excellence" theme has left its imprint on almost every corner of the campus. One faculty member said it is rare for a leader to mark one's accomplishments and then remain in office. Usually the purpose of memorial campaigns is to go out with a bang, the faculty member said. In Lillard's case, time will tell.

Cheerleader sues after fall

By Kim Voynar A CSU student has filed a $250,000 lawsuit against Central State University and the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education for damages she said she suffered during a cheerleading practice in the fall 1985 semester. In the lawsuit, Rhonda Terry alleges she was injured when she fell from the top of a "human pyramid" Sept. 17, 1985 in front of the Health/Physical Education Building. The lawsuit, filed Jan. 28, charges that no faculty member was present at the practice and that spotters were not provided to insure the safety of the cheerleaders.

Terry was taken to Edmond Memorial Hospital after her fall. As a result of the accident, Terry was hospitalized overnight and had to wear a back brace for seven weeks following the accident, said Carol Terry, the cheerleader's mother. According to her attorney, Chris Eulberg, she was forced to drop out of school for the remainder of the semester because of the accident. The lawsuit, filed in Oklahoma County District Court, seeks recovery of damages due to alleged negligence of the university and the board of regents. Eulberg said Terry, who also sat out the spring 1986 semester,

plans to return to school as soon as possible. Eulberg said that Terry is not seeking punitive damages in her suit, only the cost of her medical bills. He said that she doesn't know yet if she will need surgery. Eulberg also emphasized that they don't expect to receive $250,000. "When you file a lawsuit, you set a top figure, not a bottom figure," Eulberg said. "Rhonda isn't saying 'let's get rich off of this', she just wants her medical bills paid for." Terry's medical bills are $1,500, according to Eulberg, but he said that if she requires surgery, the bills will be much higher.

Emily Ozbirn, another member of the cheerleading squad, said the squad was aware that the building of pyramids would be a part of the routines. She also said that she didn't remember signing a release form. She refused comment on whether a faculty sponsor was present or if spotters were present when the accident occurred. Another cheerleader, Winston Banta, said he didn't think he should comment on the incident. At press time, Bob Rudkin, CSU's attorney in the lawsuit, declined comment. Rudkin said he had not received any information regarding the case. Dr. Bill Lillard, president, also declined to comment.

Weather confusing for us all By John Helsley Sports editor Folks, you just can't take anything for granted in this state — especially the weather! We had been having great weather here throughout what was supposed to be winter. There was even a state record for not having any rain in January. To top things off, the groundhog came out in Pennsylvania and didn't see his shadow which guarantees that even warmer weather is near. So what is this little rodent doing? This weather is depressing. Are the people in Pennsylvania still so upset about being crushed by one of our state universities in the Orange Bowl that they would decieve us? Maybe this is a conspiracy by all the tanning salons. Without natural sunlight they can keep the vain whitelegs indoors. There were actually a few shorts beginning to dot the campus; with many more surely to follow. We have got to find someone to blame. It just isn't fun to blame the TV weathermen anymore. If these guys were judged by a right-wrong record like sports coaches are with won-loss records, stations would make changes every month. The last good weatherman this state had was Will Rogers. And he just covered himself by telling us to wait around a while if we didn't like the weather. Well, we're waiting!

Society trampled with lawsuits The word litigation conjures visions of spacious marble corridors, stately judges in black robes and polished, bespectacled lawyers who cunningly defend the wronged and bring justice to bear on the villains of society. Unfortunately, the revered image we have of our legal system is waning. We live in a lawsuit-happy society where litigation is a national past-time and Judge Wapner is a hero. Suing a person isn't a serious matter anymore, it's a sport. But the cost of social nonsense once more befalls the society which created it. What the few gain in inordinate damage claims, the public pays in fallen businesses and skyrocketing insurance premiums. Evidence of this appeared in Friday's edition of The Daily Oklahoman. Serving as spokesman for a coalition of over 40 professional associations, Ben Blackstock, executive vice president of the Oklahoma Press Association announced plans for a high-powered lobbying campaign to be mounted against spiraling damage awards. The diversity of these associations is startling. It seems to indicate that a good portion of the business world is fed up with litigation. Prompted by pressure from the coalition, House Bill 1892 and its counterpart Senate Bill 536 (which were introduced into the state legislature Thursday) include a provision which limits "punitive damages to 10 percent of the actual damages awarded at the trial." The measure also stipulates that punitive damages or "non-economic" damages such as pain, suffering, defamation or invasion of privacy, would be limited to $250,000. This is a move which is long overdue. Opponents of the measure tout the evils of money-hungry insurance

Commentary By Melissa Mercer Vista associate editor companies, claiming today's outrageous rates are the work of an insurance conspiracy. Although the insurance industry has never been a champion of the consumer, it stands to reason that as more high-priced litigation floods the courts, and as more claims are paid, insurance rates are bound to go up. Blackstock is quoted in The

Oklahoman as saying that "people are encouraged to have lawsuits, whether they have any merit at all..." A good example of this is the current lawsuit pending against the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. CSU cheerleader Rhonda Terry fell from a human pyramid and received back injuries as a result. Her claim is for $250,000 on grounds of negligence. It seems plausible that Terry might have claimed actual monetary damages, but it seems unlikely she would claim damages which are hundreds of thousands of dollars in excess of the cost of her injury, without the encouragement of her attorney. Individual and professional vulnerability has gotten out of hand. Either legislation is passed to limit astronomical damage claims or insurance companies will continue to raise rates until the cost of protection will no longer be affordable.

Letters Chinese students embrace their studies with passion To the editor: At a time when apathy is running rampant throughout the campus I would like to acknowledge some exceptions to this trend. They are the 64 students from mainland China. These students attend the majority of campus functions; once there they greet the experience with enthusiasm. At a recent film festival, the Chinese students stayed for the foreign films when most Americans left. One

film in particular was a Guatemalan film with English subtitles but even this did not deter their enthusiasm. They embrace their studies with the same passion. They are usually the most alert and inquisitive students in a class which is not even taught in their native language. True, these students are here to learn from us, but maybe we could learn just as much from them. D.J. Ellis

Dimension News: World, state and local Filipino election claimed fraud Thirty computer operators marched out of the government's election commission Sunday, claiming the ballotcounting that showed President Fredinand E. Marcos defeating Corazon Aquino was falsified. An international observer group meanwhile accused Marcos' partisans on Sunday of vote-buying, intimidation, snatching ballot boxes and tampering with election returns in Friday's special election. Some of the computer operators wept on each others' shoulders after parading single-file out of the Marcosappointed commission's counting center. "There was something wrong," a woman operator said. "What's posted on the tabulation board does not tally with the computer board, and we don't know who is doing it. We can't take it anymore." The woman said that workers spotted the problem Saturday night, when Aquino was leading in the commission's count by 100,000 votes. By midday Sunday, Marcos had taken over the lead.

Tourists stranded in Haiti Hundreds of foreign tourists were stranded Sunday as the new government in Haiti kept the country vitually cut off from the outside world and airlines were blocked from landing at the only international airport. Calm returned to Haiti Sunday after several days and nights of shooting and looting but the country remained virtually cut off and there were still widespread fears of renewed violence. The international airport outside the capital remained closed for the third day. Emabassies were receiving anxious calls from foreigners. Some Americans complained bitterly that their government was doing nothing to get them out and expressed fears that they could be caught in even more violence.

Papal collections criticized Indian churches raised more than $1 million in donations for Pope John Paul II's first trip to their predominatly Hindu nation, but the collections have been criticized as extravagant and wasteful. The critics include Roman Catholic laymen and clergy who say the money is spent on opulent podiums and that the sale of souvenirs to raise funds commercializes what should be a visit of spirituality. Activist Catholic groups in Kerala, who alleged that some parishioners had been pressured to contribute, distributed a pamphlet charging that no one was keeping account of donations. In Bombay there has been criticism over reserving seats at the papal Mass for those who contribute generously.

Libyan forces conduct exercises Libyan air and naval forces conducted exercises Sunday in the Mediterranean Sea with live ammunition, apparently hoping to deter American warships and planes from maneuvering in the same waters. The Libyan maneuvers began Saturday and were scheduled to end Sunday, according to a government announcement on state-run television. The so-called Tripoli flight information region where Libya is holding the maneuvers is the same coastal stretch where U.S. warships conducted air and sea exercises late in January. The U.S. aircraft carriers that led those training exercises, the Coral Sea and the Saratoga, last week visited Italian ports. In Washington, government sources, who refused to be further identified, said the carriers were en route to the Mediterranean north of Libya.

Guest commentary

Reagan policies burden poor By Chris Covert In case there are any doubts that the ongoing process of changing the American economy to the private fiefdom of free enterprise is continuing, one need only to have listened to President Reagan's fifth State of the Union speech last week. The speech was a clear affirmation that the attack upon public education, the poor and the unemployed will continue unabated. The affirmation is vintage Smithian economics. It is clear that the private economy is either unable or unwilling to provide full employment. The promise of jobs for everyone who wants to work has been fulfilled only in the sense that those who want to work must also accept a lesser standard of living. This represents just one facet of the attack. The claim by Reagan supporters of gains made in civil rights is fatuous when employment figures are studied. — There has been a 7 percent decline in manufacturing jobs since 1979 with almost a million manufacturing jobs lost. — In just the last year, 2.8 million jobs were created in the service sector, a catchall category which includes fry cooks to doctors. — Over 80 percent of those new jobs went to women who already suffer under a two-tiered wage system that is defined by gender alone. Regardless of how rosy the picture sounds it becomes different when the pay scales are noticed. The average manufacturing wage is $1.50 an hour higher than service sector. If that seems a small dif-

ference, notice the average workweek between manufacturing and service sectors: 41 hours for manufacturing workers versus 32.9 hours for service employees. The reason for this disparity is clear. Employers in the service sector keep hours low so that benefits such as medical insurance are not paid. In other words, a service sector job is an indirect tax upon the poor. Also in 1985, 27 percent of employed women worked part time versus 11 percent of men. Combine this with the fact that almost half the households in this country are headed by women. So that no one will forget how much things have changed under Reagan, also understand that white employment grew five times faster than black employment. In 1985, black unemployment declined only two-tenths of a percent. All these facts point to one thing: while more women may be employed, the overall trend is to place them in low-paying, service-sector jobs. It simply cannot be argued with such numbers that there is an inherent fairness in this system. The only question that remains besides the obvious why, is why the media in this country is not reporting these startling facts juxtaposed against what politicians are telling the public. Regardless of the answers to these and other questions, it must be made clear that the struggle for equality and fairness has only begun. Only elections are won, while the struggle for dignity, not just political rights, but also economic and social rights, must continue.

Committee proposes focused, demanding core curriculum TUSCON, ARIZ. (IP)—A College of Arts and Sciences faculty committee at the University of Arizona has completed a proposal for major revisions in the undergraduate core curriculum. Associate Dean Rebecca Kellogg said the proposed core curriculum is described as "much more focused and demanding." According to the proposal, all Arts and Sciences majors and undeclared or general studies will be affected. Fine arts and music majors will be exempt under the proposed curriculum, Kellogg said. "Before, students had a list of requirements and a list of courses. We just handed them the list, and said 'Here, educate yourselves.' This curriculum won't be narrow, but it will give a more focused, and at the same time a broader, course of study." The curriculum is divided into two programs: skills and competencies, and study areas.

Student eyblishes collection of verse

Writer captures ii nnocence

By Shannon Blockcolski "What If Some Tomorrow" by William W. Bishop, Sr. Fouled Anchor Publishing Co., 1985 Innocence is an attribute missing from modern poetry and prose. The works in William W. Bishop's "What If Some Tomorrow" overflow with purity and simplicity, blending a fresh outlook on life with a light touch of humor. Review Bishop's style is too consistent, staying within the realms of traditional syntax and rhyme scheme. Yet his witty obse .rvations on the everyday hassles and joys corn-

pensate for the similarities in composition. "A Drop of Water," "A Special Place" and "The Last Man" challenges man's relationship with nature. Sentimental satire appears in "Soap Opera's," and "An Honest Politician." Perhaps his best work is when he writes without poetic form, as in "Philosophy and Other Nonsense": Every time another

animal becomes an endangered species, man moves closer to his own end. But in his writings on love, he appears chauvinistic, attacking mothers-in-law and wives. Bishop was born in Denver, Colorado and at 17 enlisted in the United States Navy, where he worked as a Yeoman until his retirement as a Chief Petty Officer in 1978.

He graduated from Oklahoma City Community College with an associate of arts degree in humanities and literature. Bishop is currently attending creative writing classes at CSU under Dr. Clif' Warren. Reading this collection of verse, one feels they are sitting in a dusty back room of a library, looking at the old-fashioned, but still applicable, quotations of Benjamin Franklin. Bishop's poetry is extremely assesible compared to the abstract, free verse found in recent poetry anthologies. He does not try to force his political opinions on the reader. He presents his amiably innocent and witty views on life, to be accepted or rejected for what they are, just his •

at the campus police department. Residents interested in this program can contact the campus police anytime. According to Officer Ed Forbes, this is only one segment of the Police Community Relations Project. The department has some projects in the developing stages to help better serve the Central State community. One project is the child restraint program to be initiated in the spring. Another community service project is a security seminar to give tips on how students can protect personal property and themselves. "Having such a small police force enables us to utilize certain talents of the officers to help better serve the CSU and Edmond communities," said Forbes. Forbes commented that the department wants to convey a more positive image to the students of Central State, and through this project the CSU police force can serve the university in a "professionalized way."

Grapplers flattened by SIU By John Helsley Sports editor Central State fell behind 15-0 after three weights and never recovered as Southern IllinoisEdwardsville defeated the Bronchos 24-19 Saturday night in Broncho Fieldhouse. Injuries at 118 pounds forced the Bronchos to forfeit at that weight and give up six team points before anyone had a chance to break a sweat. Billy Reid dropped a close decision to NCAA Division II champion Alan Grammar and freshman Cliff Jackson was pinned at 134 pounds to put CSU in a big hole. "I thought we wrestled better than we have the past few weeks," said coach David James. "The bonus points they got at 118 and

134 really hurt us." "SIU has an excellent team. That's obvious by the fact that they have won the past two NCAA Division II Championships," James said. The Bronchos scored their 19 team points on the strength of four individual victories. Kevin Freeman won by technical fall at 142 pounds, Howard Seay cruised to a major decision at 167 pounds, Gary Nicholas was a winner by decision at 177 pounds, and Larry Wooten rolled to a technical fall at heavyweight. The grapplers will next be in action 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the Broncho Fieldhouse against rival Adams State University. The match will be preceded by a wrestlers alumni reunion at 7 p.m.

By John Helsley Sports editor Chuck Kersgieter was Mr. Inside and Paul Collier was Mr. Outside as the two led CSU to a 67-58 win Saturday night at Langston. Kersgieter scored 19 points, mostly from the lane and Collier canned 16 points on long-range bombs. After leading by only two at half, 25-23, the Bronchos pulled away in the second stanza to roll to their sixteenth win against only six losses. The win also enabled the Bronchos to climb into fourth place in the important Sempert Ratings. The top four teams in the ratings receive automatic home playoff berths. "Langston is a tough place to play," said Coach Buddy Armstrong. "Several good teams have barely escaped this year and we are pleased with the victory. "I've been to Langston too many times as a player and coach to expect an easy game. Any time you win at Langston it's a good win." The Lions appeared primed to pull the upset, as they jumped out to an 18-9 lead with help from the Bronchos. CSU turned the ball over six of their first seven times down the floor. "We started a out little sluggish and got behind," said Armstrong. "But Paul Collier had a good outside shooting night and his outside baskets in the first half gave us some confidence when we were struggling." Armstrong added, "Chuck Kersgieter also had a good game hitting six of 10 from the field and seven of nine from the free throw line." Mark Martinovich and Phil Giachino each added 10 points to the Broncho charge. "I'm pleased with the fact that we had four players in double figures," Armstrong said. "Good balanced scoring has been a key to our success all year. Teams can't key on any given player." The Lions were paced by Rodney Lewis who tallied 25 points and Pat McShan who chipped in 12.

With only a couple weeks to play, the Bronchos are looking to get primed for the playoffs. "We want to play our best those last five games and get the best possible position in the ratings," Armstrong continued. "Our players are eager for the playoffs, but we don't want to look past any opponent or take any opponent for granted." In the women's game, the Lady Bronchos shot only 35 percent from the field and never really got into the game as they lost to the

Lady Lions 68-59. Kim Thomas scored 18 points in a losing cause, but no other player could break into double figures for the Lady Bronchos. "We just didn't shoot well," said Coach John Keely. "That's been our problem all year." "It's disappointing. The kids are working so hard but we are missing some easy shots. We might be trying too hard," said Keely. The loss dropped the lady cagers to 4-17 for the season, but

Murdoch ends reign as A.D. teaching year total of 80, can retire. In Murdoch's case, he is 55-years-old and has taught for 30 years. Also, any eligible teacher who retires this year will receive a 6 percent raise in their retirement pay. Another incentive is that health and life insurance premiums will be paid for until he is 65. Murdoch has no definite plans to follow his retirement. "I'm going to take some time off to relax," he said. "I've been teaching and working year round and haven't had much time off. Athletic directors, unlike coaches don't have an 'off season."' "I have always been interested in politics. I don't know if that is what I will do, but it's something I'll look into," he said."

By John Helsley Sports editor After 10 years as athletic director of Central State University, Charles Murdoch has announced his retirement effective June 1, 1986. Murdoch, who replaced Dale Hamilton in 1976, is an assistant professor of health, physical education and recreation in the College of Special Arts and Sciences at CSU. A new retirement policy was a key factor in Murdoch's decision. "The big thing was the new rule," said Murdoch. "The regents changed their retirement policy and it made it financially feasible for me to retire at this time." Under the new plan, someone who has a combined age and

During his term as A.D, Murdoch feels the athletic department has accomplished some important goals. "As a department, we've been more successful in all of our programs without sacrificing in any one program," Murdoch said. "We've helped upgrade our spring sports a lot and tennis, baseball, track and golf have been more competitive. This wouldn't have been possible without the support of the administration." Murdoch has been associated with CSU athletics since 1962 when he came here as intramural director and assistant football coach. During his initial year, Murdoch was an assistant coach on CSU's first national championship football team. In 1971, Murdoch was named

head track coach and his last two teams (1975 and 1976) won Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference championships. He was named conference coach of the year in 1976 and district coach of the year in 1975. Murdoch has also served as tennis coach and fulltime intramural director during his stay at CSU. "The most gratifying thing of my entire career here has been the association with the students and athletes and keeping track of their lives when they leave," Murdoch said. "I've always said; a coach should not be judged by his wonloss record. You can't tell what kind of coach he was until later, when you see what kind of people his athletes turn out to be."

Charles Murdoch will be stepping down from his post as athletic director June 1.

Matmen gear for nationals With only five duals remaining, the Broncho wrestlers are concentrating on qualifying for the national tournament. There are several criteria for individual wrestlers to qualify. The first criteria is to place in a district tournament. Since CSU is the only school in District IX to have wrestling, there is no district tournament and their wrestlers cannot qualify under this method. The second criteria is for an individual to win 66 percent of his matches while competing in at least 12 matches during the season. The third criteria for qualifying is for a wrestler to place in the top three of a tournament where there are 12 or more four-year schools entered, or; to place in the top two of a tournament where there are eight or more, but less than twelve, four-year schools present. At this time, CSU has wrestlers qualified at 8 of 10 weights. They are still working to get qualified at 150 pounds, and 190 pounds looks doubtful.
