Central Oklahoma experienced what many hoped was the last of this season's big time storms when old man winter dumped several inches of snow on CSU Friday

morning. The Y-Chapel took on the artistic air of painting-like beauty when it was draped in snow, while ice cicles adorned one of the campus sign posts.

Boy's State slated

CSU to host mock government event

By Stephen Mark Neuzil For the first time in 15 years, CSU will be hosting Oklahoma's version of Boy's State, slated for May 21 through 29.

Boy's State is a mock government program dedicated to better citizenship. It is sponsored by the Oklahoma Department of the American Legion under the Americanism Program and seeks to provide education to high

school students in the field of state and local government, operating on the theory that the better informed person is the better citizen.

"The project will help instill love and appreciation for the American federal system and widen the comprehension of the role of the state," said William Leroy Crozier, chairman of the political science department.

"At Boy's State, we work with 800 outstanding high school students from our state."

Every county and over 275 cities in Oklahoma are represented at Boy's State and its counterpart, Girl's State. To qualify, high school students must be ready to enter their senior year. The project is an opportunity for these seniors to preplan an election and demonstrate their

By Kim McConnell A master of arts degree, actively sought by the art department for nearly two years, is one of several waiting in the Office of Academic Affairs to be submitted to the Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education, according to Dr. Patrick Cassens, The program, which would be the only master of arts degree of:ed in Oklahoma, was submit-

ted to the graduate council and was passed June 15, 1980, according to Kathryn Kunc, art chairman.

The degree will emphasize whatever field (of art) the student wants. They will be required to take only 32 hours of art courses.

No education courses will be required since they already had their general education courses in the bachelor degree program,"

Kunc said, adding that the students will be given a choice between painting, foundation, commercial or advertising art.

The proposed program was passed by the graduate council in 1980, said Dr. Bill Fisher, graduate dean.

"We have Lad several programs proposed by various departments. We don't submit all the programs at one time to the regents. To insure the chances for approval, we submit only a few," Fisher said.

"The master of art degree is one of about six, and the most recently added we have under consideration," Cassens said.

There in no limit on the number of programs that may be submitted, but there is only one time of the year the regents consider them. Ideas are gathered in July, Cassens said, but the regents do not discuss them until November.

prowess as high school politicans.

"The central thrust of this project will focus on the educational program," said Crozier. "It will consist of classroom instruction in the course of Oklahoma government and special lectures will be presented by the governor, members of the legislature, jurists and representatives from all departments and levels of government."

Government in operation will be the most difficult task for the participants, according to Crozier. Within the seven-day period, Boy's State members will organize political parties at the local and state levels. These parties will then nominate candi-

dates for municipal county and state offices, hold the elections for those nominees and then allow the elected officials to perform their various duties.

Representatives from CSU who will assist the program's sponsors include CSU president Bill Lillard; Carl Reherman, assistant to the president and mayor of Edmond; Dr. James Caster, political science professor and head of the Bureau of Governmental Services; and Crozier, who has played a role in the program for 26 years.

Oklahoma's version of Boy's State was first organized in 1939

by Dr. H. V. Thornton, professor of government at the University of Oklahoma.

Funeral service student dies in traffic accident William D. Clayton, 42-year-old funeral service major, was killed in a twovehicle auto accident Saturday in Edmond.

Clayton was driving a compact automobile that was struck by a tank truck which apparently lost control and slid through the stop sign at the corner of Second and Coltrane. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Edmond Memorial Hospital.

Services were held today at 1

p.m. at the Metro Church of Edmond.

Clayton had retired from the U.S. Navy after serving 26 years and was working as an apprentice at the Bill Merritt Funeral Home.

He was to have graduated this spring.

He is survived by his wife Jeride; two daughters, Donna Marie and Deborah Susan, of the home; and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Tidswell, Vista Calif.

Windfall profit taxes double headaches

By Sharon L. Christenberry Royalty and overriding royalty interest owners in oil wells, called "producers" by the Internal Revenue Service, face staggering obstacles in their fight to obtain legal refunds or qualified exemptions from the windfall profit tax withheld from their crude oil royalties by oil purchasers in accordance with the Crude Oil Windfall Profit Tax Act of 1980 and the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981.

Total dependency of royalty owners on purchases for the necessary information makes obtaining tax refunds or exemptions a nightmare.

Varied tax rates of newly discovered, stripper, and other oil, varied methods of classifying qualified exemptions, varied procedures by which purchasers provide or fail to provide royalty owners with necessary information for exemption computation, and total dependence of royalty owners on purchasers for this necessary information make getting refunds or exemptions in connection with the windfall profit tax a nightmare.

Windfall profit taxes vary from 30 percent for newly discovered oil, to 60 percent for oil from stripper wells, to a whopping 70 percent for all other oil. Tier 1 oil is further broken down into Sadlerochit oil and other than Sadlerochit oil, while Tier 3 oil must be specified for tax purposes as

being newly discovered, incremental tertiary, or heavy oil.

Methods of classifying qualified exemptions vary in three ways. In the first method, individuals or family members receiving oil royalties may share up to a $1,000 maximum credit for windfall profit tax up to that amount. The second method concerns additional refunds due under the 90 percent Net Income Limitation provision. The final method is the recent two barrel per day from January 1982 to January 1984 and three barrel per day on and after January 1985 exemption.

This third method of calculating windfall profit tax exemption requires royalty owners to select which barrels of oil from which purchasers and from which tiers they wish to have exempted on a monthto-month basis.

To date, only one yearly form, Form 6248 Annual Information Return of Windfall Profit Tax, is required of purchasers.

This form gives information concerning

the amount of windfall profit tax withheld by tier classification. Some purchasers bend over backwards to provide royalty owners with necessary data while others fail to provide even the required Form 6248.

Congress created this monstrously complicated situation. Now the burden is on IRS to provide proper reporting forms to purchasers which would instigate the necessary reporting procedures needed to enable "producers" - royalty owners - to claim legal exemptions due them provided by both acts.

Vista not in error on accreditation

By Kim McConnell It seems that several persons around campus, including CSU president Bill Lillard, hold the opinion that The Vista erroneously reported the university is on the verge of being put on probation, or perhaps losing her accreditation. The accusation stems from the last of a three-part series on the impending November visit of the North Central Association team, dated Jan. 28, which explored the results probation and loss of accreditation would have on a university.

Lillard addressed the Feb. 8 meeting of the Student Senate to dispell rumors of the impending doom and seemed to imply The Vista story was responsible. I object, strongly!

The story did not say CSU would lose her accreditation or even be put on probation.What it said, and I quote, was "...one result of this visit may be a recommendation for probation or a loss of accreditation..."

Commentary Check the dictionary. There is a world of difference between the words "will" and "may". One implies certainty, the other suggests a possibility.

The two are hardly interchangeable.

Exception is also taken to the apparent accusation that the story stated the school is on probation. No where in any of the stories is it said the school is on probation. In fact, Nor-

man Russell took great pains to make it clear we are not on probation. He was quoted in the last story saying as much: "They didn't put us on probation when they were here in 1979, but they did give us a warning."

Again, there is quite a difference in word meanings.

The NCA series was not intended to announce to the world CSU is on probation, or on the verge of losing her very precious accreditation. What the stories did was inform ignorant readers, this editor included.

The purpose of the last story, the one in question, was to explore the alternatives open to the team — what might happen, not what will happen.

Letter to the Editor

Many students need 'structure' To The Editor: Please allow, "The Rest of the Story."

Maturity, responsibility, concern for the efforts of your teachers and students: are not those qualities indicative of one who has good attendance? Consequently, that student is not concerned about roll calling.

That student will be in class.

Now, a bit of simple logic: Pretend you are a college teacher, final grade averages are upon you. Your roll book shows one student with 2 Bs and 2 A's and perfect attendance. Another student has 2 B's and 2 A's with 10 absences. Are you really going to consider those two students as equals for a final grade?

Should not the perfect attendance receive an A and the 10 absences receive, at most a B, maybe less? If you don't consider them differently, then actually you are saying that the 10 class hours you taught were of no value to the student who was present; and that the student who was absent 10 times missed nothing.

Also, are you going to consider those two students differently on recommendations for employment? I don't believe any

faculty member is naive enough to believe that each hour's teaching opens up a whole new world. But, also, we do realize that a student may take a textbook exam and make straight A's, but still miss significant information by being absent.

If you check carefully , you will find out that students with good attendance are the people who graduate, get jobs, pay their bills, respond to the inconveniences of life (like mandated attendance). Then check the poor attendance student. The same

profile is simply not evident. It's a lot easier to drop or quit coming to a class after you have been absent frequently.

Your university teachers are doing many students a favor by requiring attendance.

Without that structure, those students will not make it through the semester.

Simply, we need each other. A teacher can't be a teacher if the students aren't in class and students can't be students if they are not in class. So what's the big deal?

Dr. William R. Van Osdol

'Okies' need common sense To The Editor: Insulting 'Jokes to the Okies' are wellearned by the same. I have lived in Oklahoma for 13 years and, as an `Okie' , can honestly say that Oklahomans are some of the worst drivers in the nation.

I learned to drive in the Chicago suburbs during the worst time of the year.

Chicagoans have fewer accidents because they are able to predict one another. There

is almost no way to predict what an Oklahoman will do next. Everyone in Chicago knows you cannot make sharp lane changes, turns, or stops on ice.

If Oklahomans would use more cornmon sense when driving on ice, we would not have cars in the ditches everywhere you look after an ice or snow storm.

New convention thrust shows early success Because of a new thrust of the governor's office, chances are that the number of regional and national associations holding conferences in Oklahoma will be increasing for the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department and many other state agencies.

Governor George Nigh, for the past few years, has been encouraging Oklahoma state employees who are members of regional and national organizations to assist him in soliciting their associations to hold their annual meetings in Oklahoma," said Abe L. Hesser, executive director of the Tourism and Recreation Department.

"The excellent response on the part of state employees has resulted in the bookings of numerous part of state employees has resulted in conferences for 1982-83 and the possibility of even more bookings for future conventions is very promising since we have on our staff State Conference Coordinator Ann Ogle."

Ogle mailed a questionnaire to state agencies asking employees to list national or regional organi—

zations to which they belonged, annual conference dates and meeting locations.

"Nearly 35 agencies responded," reported Hesser. `The result is a prospect list that totals over 100 regional and national associations. These organizations are being sent letters from the governor personally inviting them to schedule upcoming conferences in Oklahoma.

Site visits from interested groups have resulted and more are expected. These visits may lead to bookings for conferences in 1983, 1984, 1985 or even later."

Those who wish to be of help in bringing their own conventions to Oklahoma should contact Ann Ogle, Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department, 500 Will Rogers Building, Oklahoma City, OK 73105, or at 405 521-4279.

By Patrick M. Bailey "I was at the Lodge one day and a man, obviously inebriated, walked in looking for the bar, saw the python around my neck and said he had enough and then left," reminisced Bob Jenni It's not unusual to find Bob Jenni with a snake about him.

He owns about 200 of the reptiles and other types of creatures even after having been bit 18 times.

But that's part of his occupation.

Jenni is a wilderness expert and when he's not in the wilds collecting information and specimens he's on the lecture circuit.

Jenni , an Edmond resident, focused his knowledge of the wild kingdom on the art of survival for students in the military science departments survival mini-lab last Tuesday in the ROTC annex of Thatcher Hall.

A key to survival is just think and keep a positive attitude," emphasized Jenni at the start of his presentation.

Jenni concentrated his presentation on three main subjects: necessities of survival, awareness of natural dangers, and identification of poisonous snakes.

According to the nature expert, protection from the elements, pure water, and food are the key necessities to survival.

Fire is important because of the warmth it can give mentally.

Jenni , a feature writer for the Advisor, illustratedthe principles of determining edible plants, establishing shelter, and identifying natural dangers with a slide presentation and some living displays.

Some of the ROTC students cringed at the sight of Jenni's tarantula and snakes because of their preconceived notions of the creatures.

According to Jenni , people develop a fear of snakes for two reasons. They are either told at an early age to associate snakes with death or they may have been bitten.

Of the three snakes, a water moccasin, copper head, and rattler, which are indigenous to Oklahoma, that Jenni brought, the rattler gained the most attention.

As Jenni took it out of its portable home with a long handled hook, the rapid rhythmic rattling sound of the warning device on the snake's tail held the nervous attention of the students in the small class room.

Jenni's point about snake fear was witnessed when the reptile fell on the floor and startled some of the closer members of the ROTC audience.

"Immediately I thought I should have stood still, but that was after I jumped on the chair," said Rick Shelton, a health phys-

ical education major for the cadet corps.

"If the snake wanted to bite, it would do so," said Jenni. "But we force the issue."

Jenni sat the rattler on the table in front of the room to prove this point.

"Snakes are scared of us and it's best to stop and stand still," emphasized Jenni.

In an effort to demonstrate the position a snake takes prior to striking, he broke the rule of staying still and tempted the snake to strike him by making fast, jerky movements.

The rattler curled up into its strike position but remained motionless for a couple of minutes.

Finally, after a few more attempts by the confident Jenni to rile the rattler, it lunged out.

"That was a sloppy strike," scoffed Jenni to the snake.

"Coming here this morning was a little cold for him and he's just starting to warm up, — explained Jennie as he put the snake back into its carrying case.

Jenni's presentation added a new dimension to the academic life of the viewing cadets.

"Things we have discussed can't be found in books," he said.

Until you get over your fear of the wilderness you can not appreciate the true beauty of nature," added Jenni.

Jenni , who spends fifty percent of his time in the wilderness to stay prepared for the approximate 100 lectures he gives during the year, has made nature an intricate part of his life.

Because of his closeness to it, Jenni expressed his concern for the future existence of wilderness areas for future generations when he said, "(The continuation of) the population explosion and taking away wilderness will prohibit my sons from some of the experiences I have had."

Matmen crush Adams State ,29-9

By Robert Slankard

•

•

Mark Allen's upset of John Sheridan added insult to injury as top rankedCSU coasted to a 28-9 thrashing of Adam State Saturday night in Broncho Fieldhouse.

Adams State, ranked second in the NAIA, was dealt a severe blow prior to the match when Joe Ore, All-American at 134, was forced to forfeit his match. He was diagnosed as having infectious mononucleosis and a swollen spleen.

Allen's victory over Sheridan, an All-American at 150, put the Bronchos on top 16-3 and virtually sealed Adams State's fate.

Mickey McGowan started the night off for CSU with an 11-0 whipping of David Martinez.

McGowan used a takedown and two near falls in the first period and a near fall in the second to record his 15th win of the season against four losses.

Freshman Joe Starzenski of Midwest City almost pulled off another upset before losing a hardfought 5-4 decision to Scott Ritzen at 126.

Ritzen struck first blood with a takedown 2:22 into the first period. However, Starzenski countered with an escape and a takedown to pull ahead 3-2 with a

Ritzen took a 4-3 lead with a reverse, but Starzenski used an escape to tie the match at four after one period.

But Ritzen also scored an escape in the second period and then rode Starzenski throughout the final period for a 5-4 decision.

The former National Champion raised his record to 19-2 while Starzenski dropped to 9-7-1.

The forfeit at 134 increased the Bronchos lead to 10-3. Ore would have taken a 16-2 record against Darren Huff's 8-6 mark.

Sophomore Ronnie James followed with a 6-1 decision over fellow sophomore Rick Willits.

James used two first period takedowns and an escape in the middle period as well as 1:41 in

in his match at 177 as he took down Shane Palmer in the first three seconds. But Palmer used a reverse a minute later to pull even.

Ameen struggled through most of the second period and held a slim 5-3 lead going into the final two minutes. But a reverse sealed the match for Ameen as he posted an 8-3 decision to bring his record to 14-3-2.

The victory also gave the Bronchos their biggest lead of the night, 28-3.

ASU's All-American Darrell Yohn finally ended CSU's string of six straight victories with a 13-6 decision over Melvin Gatewood at 190.

After falling behind on a takedown, Gatewood used a reverse to tie the match in the first period, but Yohn used a total of five takedowns to win his match dropped to 12-7.

SPORTS

Bronchos whip Cameron Brent Alford and Steve Austin combined for 47 points to lead CSU to a 90-85 win over the Cameron Aggies Thursday night in Lawton.

The Bronchos threatened to blow the game open several times and spurted to an 83-66 lead with just 3:15 left in the game.

However, Bronchos Charles Crosby and Kevin Pierce fouled out late in the game. The Aggies then rallied to pull within five with seven seconds left before time ran out.

Despite the last minute theatrics coach Eddie Evans felt sure that CSU wouldn't blow the lead.

"I didn't think we were in danger of losing late in the game but Cameron never quit, they played super," said Evans.

Evans added that he was forced to finish the game with four guards and Austin because of foul trouble.

The Bronchos seemed to win in spite of themselves. CSU had 32 turnovers compared with 14 for Cameron. The Aggies also put up 91 shots from the field.

CSU had 53.

If you had told me before the game that we'd turn the ball over 32 times I'd have thought there was no way we could win," said Evans.

Riding time to up his record to 13-3-1. Willits is now 12-5.

Trailing 13-3, Adams State needed a strong showing from Sheridan to get back in contention. But Allen, who came into the match swith an 8-8-1 ledger, handed Sheridan only his thrid loss in 15 decisions.

Mike Clark kept the pressure on ASU with his 9-1 major decision of Eric Dean. Clark took Dean down just 23 seconds into the march and added two three point near falls as he raised his record to 13-6.

National Champions garnered the final points for CSU. Benny Coleman unloaded on sophomore Mark Sandoval in the 167 pound match drumming up a 18-0 score. Coleman had five nearfalls and three and a half minutes in riding time.

"We seemed to be rushing things all night. With less than a minute left in the first half we had the ball and a five point lead, but we turned it over three times in that final minute."

The Bronchos were forced to settle for a 36-33 half-time lead.

But they wasted little time in taking that lead into double figures.

The Aggies guarded Crosby close all night, although he was able to finish with 16 points.

However, he also dished out several passes to Alford who hit an incredible 12 of 13 from the field.

"Austin has been struggling this year, especially shooting.

But he really put it together tonight, he played a solid ball game."

Austin led the Bronchos with ten rebounds.

Crosby, mister reliable for CSU this year, had 16 points on six of 11 from the floor and four of four from the line.He also pulled down seven rebounds. Alford had eight rebounds.

Kendal Cudjoe connected on only two of his seven shots from the floor, but was nine of ten from the line as the Bronchos hit "I thought Alford and Austin 77.4 percent from the line. played their best games of the CSU also shot a sizzling 62.3 season tonight," commented percent from the floor while Evans.

Bronchettes beat CU behind Stout, Komalty The Bronchettes continued to roll through the last half of the season as they defeated Cameron 64-56 in Lawton Thursday night.

The victory avenged an earlier loss at home to the Lady Aggies.

CSU was led, as usual, by Gayle Stout and Patti Komalty who had 26 and 23 points. Stout has averaged over 25 points in each of the Bronchettes last four victories while Komalty is right behind with a 23 point average during that time.

CSU clung to a 28-26 lead at

the end of the first half before outscoring Cameron 36-30 in the final half to register their 15th victory of the season against only seven losses.

The win gave the Bronchettes a 2-0 record on their current three game road trip which ended with a game at Oklahoma City University Friday night.

CSUs next game will be at home with top ranked Southwestern Wednesday.

Rochelke Ware, who had 23 points in last Saturday's victory over East Central, scored seven against the Lady Aggies.

Benny Colemman (from top left clockwise) rode Adams State's Mark Sandoval throughout their match at 167. Coleman, an NAIA champion, destroyed Sandoval by an 18-0 score and appears to be a good bet to win the NAIA title again.

Mickey McGowan started the night off for CSU with an 11-0 victory over David Martinez at 118. McGowan stepped in for injured Dennis Kendrick, NAIA champion last year, and also appears to have a legitimate chance at a national title.

The biggest upset of the night came at 150 where Mark Allen decisioned AllAmerican John Seridan 8-6 (bottom two pictures.) As the pictures show it was far from an easy win for Allen as Sheridan pulled within a point late in the final period before Allen held on for the victory.

Despite dropping a 13-6 decision to All-American Darrell Yohn, CSU's Melvin Gatewood shows here he didn't lack the muscle.

Gatewood still stands at a very respectable 12-7 on the season.

Although the score was close, there seemed little doubt in the minds of CSU fans that national champion Ronnie James would beat Rick Willits, which he did, 6-1.
