Lillard hopes for modern mission By Debbie Blossom Staff Writer
"We need our mission changed," said CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard, in a private interview Tuesday. Lillard's comments were made after a Monday regents meeting in University Center. "While we don't want CSU to be a graduate research university, we think we can be a comprehensive institution with an expanded graduate degree program," Lillard said. "One-fourth of the student body are graduate students; this is a higher percentage correlation than at either OU or OSU." The Monday meeting on the CSU campus included the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, representatives from the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges, and faculty members discussing a
variety of immediate and long-term goals for six Oklahoma universities. The strategic planning sessions, which are being conducted by the regents for every college, university and higher education center in the state, will look at each institution's mission statement. These sessions are part of a four-year plan by the state regents to enhance the quality and increase the efficiency at every institution. In further comments at the interview, Lillard said CSU wants to offer a doctorate in education, even though both OU and OSU offer the same program. "The comprehensive universities' enrollment has not suffered from what CSU offers, even though the schools are fairly close to each other," Lillard said. "The regents use the excuse that if OU and OSU Please see LILLARD on page 8.
Tuition hike postponed Regents say state must share burden By DeWayne Smoot Editor in chief State regents Tuesday approved 7-1 a recommedation that will postpone future tuition increases until higher education appropriations are passed by the State Legislature during a special meeting here.
The decision will allow regents to base "future increases in general enrollment and tuition be commensurate with legislative action on appropriations to Oklahoma state system of higher education," Vice Chancellor Gary Smith said. Chancellor Hans Brisch told regents the recommendation would
send a clear message to the state that students will not be expected to fund their education at a level disproportionate to state funding. Brisch said, while striving to achieve a nationally recognized higher education system, parity for both components of funding Please see TUITION on page 8.

Library changes
Five programs await OK
By Kamal Mazlan Staff Writer The Central State University Max Chambers Library plans to implement five programs for 1990-91 pending approval by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, according to Director Dr. John Lolley. The five programs are: • to develop a systematic, longterm program to expand current electronic information services and the inroduction of future services; • to develop a four-point program to expand library instruction; • to develop a systematic, long-
term program for upgrading library equipment; • to develop a long-term collection development program; • to develop a library building and renovation program. The four-point instruction expansion program is intended to create suitable, barrier-free facilities to accomodate the 3,000-plus students receiving instruction each year, including physically handicapped students, Lolley said. A plan to develop a required computer-assisted instruction module would meet the information needs of every CSU freshman. Also, Lolly said he hopes to expand the special subject instruc-
tion program to meet the needs of graduate students. "A large amount of the current equipment is antiquated to the point that replacement parts are no longer manufactured," Lolley said. The collection program meets specific needs, such as analyzing and developing programs, to expanding certain disciplines within the library collections, Lolley said. Needs result from lack of support, new course offerings, or accreditation requirements. The library budget this year is $2.1 million, compared to $1.6 million in 1986-87. The allocation is 5.7 percent of CSU's $37.2 million budget.
Dena Tunstall of Oklahoma City was crowned Miss CSU of Edmond in Mitchell Hall Theater Saturday. Tunstall is the fifth winner to earn both Miss Edmond and now Miss CSU of Edmond titles. The new Miss CSU of Edmond is a senior majoring in vocal music education and vocal performance. Tunstall won the title following her performance of Turina's "Danzaf Gitanas." First runner-up was Beth Munkres of Edmond, who performed the vocal selection of Victor Herbert's "Art is Calling Me." "I learned things like stage presentation and how to be comfortable on stage," Munkres said. "We really weren't competing against each other, just trying to be the best that we could be individually." "Winning first runner-up was really an extra bonus," Munkres said. "We had fun backstage and all of the girls were just great." Elizabeth Holt, Edmond was second runner-up. Third runner-up was Michelle Williams, Sand Springs. Behind Williams was Tracy Willis of Bixby. For first-place, Tunstall receives an $800 tuiton-fee waiver, a $300 scholarship, a wardrobe allowance for the Miss Oklahoma Pageant and a diamond necklace from Field's Jewelers. Tunstall also earned a year of hair service from Master's Touch Salon, an all-expense paid trip to Tulsa for the Miss Oklahoma pageant and a membership at Strictly Fitness. The runners-up receive scholarships, fee waivers and trophies. Passing on the title of Miss CSU of Edmond was Misty Attebery of Edmond.
