Fifth first place won in Kansas by CSU band
Play ball—Kurt Bazz (left) along with Kevin Harris and Alan Bolton (in the background) take time out from classes and studies to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather and a bit of ball playing in front of the University Center. The forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies with occasional showers and thunderstorms mostly in the eastern part of the state.
CSU's jazz band No. 2, under the direction of Lee Rucker, CSU music instructor, took first place honors Saturday at the Kansas State University jazz contest in Manhattan Kan., according to Dr. Clarence Garder, music chairman. Gardner said this is the fifth year in a row that the band has won the contest. "We are very happy with the work and successes of Lee Rucker and his jazz band," Garder said. "To have won five successive times is almost phenomenal." Garder said that bands come from all over the southwestern region to compete in the contest each year and judges are selected by the music department at Kansas State University. According to Garder, this is the first competition that the band has attended all year. "College bands do, not compete very often like high school bands do," Garder said. Normally the band travels around the state and performs for civic organizations and public schools. Gardner said CSU has had a jazz band for the last 20-25 years. The band is made up of 15 CSU music students and plays all different types of jazz music except dixieland. Members are selected each year by audition usually in the fall semester. But if a vacancy occurs during the year they will hold auditions to fill the vacancy.
Letter sparks controversy
Vistas disappear, caller threatens editor By Traci Baucom Associate Editor When a CSU staff member, who wishes to remain anonymous, reported to work yesterday at 6:00 a.m. in the Home Economics building, he noticed The Vista newspaper rack contained Tuesday's edition of the paper. Approximately 45 minutes later, he once again passed the
rack and noticed it was empty. Hank Mooney, director and executive editor of The Vista, said it "stretched the imagination" to think many students would be up, hustling and bustling around campus at that hour, in the Home Economics building, each of them picking up a paper. The Vistas, State of Oklahoma
property, were apparently stolen. When MaryGaye Franklin, associate editor of The Vista, entered the Communications Building yesterday at 8:00 a.m., she noticed all the papers were missing from the rack in front of the newspaper office. "I thought it was strange that all the papers were gone, especially since the paper came out late
Tuesday, around 4:30 p.m.," Franklin said. Mooney said he doesn't know the extent of the theft. Some students did see papers in the racks at the University Center. "All I know is several students in my Wednesday classes asked if we had printed a paper Tuesday because they hadn't been able to find any in the racks," Mooney said.
The Vista wins All-American By Cheryl Mellon The Vista, Central State's student newspaper, received its fourth consecutive award of All American, by the Associated College Press (ACP). The ratings covered the spring 1983 semester of The Vista, with Don Devault as
editor. The ACP, a national critique service sponsored by the University of Minnesota, rates each publication against a set of standards concerning every element involved in putting together a newspaper.

Hank Mooney, director and executive editor of The Vista said, "We're not really competing against another newspaper. All newspapers in our class and in our category compete against the same set of standards. "They look at everything from the paper it's printed on," said Mooney, "to the technical quality of the photographs, the headline reproduction, or whether your lines are straight on the page." The purpose of the ACP critique is to provide the students and advisors constructive criticism in order to improve the paper. "Generally speaking we get good marks as far as writing is concerned," Mooney said. "They (the judges) feel essentially that the stories are interesting, that they are quote, 'reasonably well edited'.
"From composition, layout and design makeup, to writing and editing and quality and composition of photographs, they (the judges) don't miss anything," he said. According to Mooney, the All American award is "kinda a biggee." He said in the history of The Vista, "we have received only five All American awards." Dr. Ray Tassin, administrative publisher and chairman of the journalism department said, "I don't know exactly how many papers get this award, right now it varies every year. Out of the entire United States only twenty some newspapers get the All American award." "It's the highest award a collegiate newspaper can get for a single semester," he said. See Vista on page 3
Dahl McKinney, circulation manager of The Vista, also reported that several students had asked him why the paper didn't come out Tuesday. According to Jim Dunn, chief of Campus Police, this type of incident has happened before when 80 to 85 percent of The Vista's Oct. 25, 1979, edition were taken from the racks. The papers appeared later in a CSU parking lot as kindling for several CSU athlete's bonfire. Earlier in the day, Matthew Driskill, editor of The Vista, said he could only speculate about the reason for the missing papers. "The only article in Tuesday's paper I would consider controversial was a letter to the editor regarding racial discrimination," Driskill said. "We received eight or so letters to the editor concerning that letter only 24 hours after it was printed," Driskill went on to say. "We got the letters too late to print them in today's paper. The pages had already gone to the print shop. We will print as many of them as space on page two will allow in Tuesday's edition." Driskill said he felt that the theft of the newspapers was a childish thing to do on the part of whoever stole them. See Threats on page 3

Reader stands up for rights Letter to the Editor: Christine Carkin's letter to The Vista Tuesday before last was somewhat disturbing to people who value freedom of expression. Carkin did not like cartoonist James Lambert's drawings of President Reagan and deplored the fact that anyone in America can "poke fun at our government anytime he or she doesn't like the way our President picks his nose."

Carkin went on to attack Lambert's apathy, intelligence and a lack of sense of humor. One of the vital foundation stones of our democracy is the right of anyone to criticize government and governmental leaders. If that right is abridged, we are in trouble. As for me, I am glad James Lambert has the freedom to draw critical cartoons; I am glad, too, that Carkin has the right to write a letter and express herself. (How would you like that right taken away?) Furthermore, I am glad I can write and be critical of Carkin for being so harsh in regard to Lambert. In short, I wouldn't trade our freedom for anything. May such freedom of expression forever remain intact. Name withheld by request
I was overwhelmed by the article on Black Heritage Week in the Feb. 7 issue of The Vista. The placement was great and the headline commanded attention and I thought this would boost participation in the heritage week activities. After reading the story, I knew that if the story sparked interest in the activities, it also killed interest in a few of them along the way. The mistakes in the story confused members of the heritage week planning committee, so I can imagine what the general student body thought of it. The events in the story jumped from Thursday to Saturday then back to Thursday and then again jumped to events happening on Friday. A play that has been postponed until a later date is supposed to take place on the same date in the same place as the political activitiy forum according to the article. Ms. Stephanie Hill and Mr. John Prince were surprised to learn that their names had been changed to Williams and Price, respectively. When I ran down the original copy of the story, after The Vista editor informed me it couldn't have been their mistake, I found that most of the facts were right in the original story. The associate editor of The Vista who handled the story promised she would run a correction before Black Heritage Week to clear up the confusion. Well, after going through the Feb. 9 issue of The Vista five times with a fine-tooth comb, I realized I had fallen for an old trick. "Tell them what they want to hear and they'll leave you alone." This kept running through my mind as I remembered the reluctant way The Vista editor agreed to the correction being placed in the Thursday edition of The Vista. Even though the correction may be made in the Tuesday or Thursday editions of The Vista during Black Heritage Week, the damage has been done and the time for the correction would have been immediately following the mistake. Since receiving my degree in journalism from CSU in Dec. 1982, I have preached about the fairness and impartiality of the department. I returned here to work on my Master's because I firmly believe in this program and I
Response meant to clear air Letter to the Editor:
In response to C. Smith's letter on Feb. 7, that spoke to my letter of Jan. 31, let me say this: I'm glad you cared enough to respond, but I would like to clear up a few things for you. I was not referring only to the "activist" and "radical" students. I specifically made mention to the wide spectrum of involved individuals one encountered on college campuses in the 70s. I never condoned "burning effigies of school presidents" and never gave the impression that I did.
You may be right in stating that today's student is developing himself as an individual, but does this necessitate the exclusion of concerning oneself with important issues? I, too, would like to help strengthen America, as you say, but I'd emphasize getting people to think and feel about the betterment of society other than your solution which was "saving our resources for external aggression." I did say, however, "that a mind is a terrible thing to waste." S. Fioravanti
have frequently tried to recruit other black students into the department stressing these qualities. My efforts are in vain when black students read The Vista and see mistakes involving events or organizations that are important to them. The predominately black greek organizations frequently are referred to as clubs or social groups rather than fraternities or sororities. Other black organizations are overlooked or totally ignored and the photographers either show up late or not at all for photo assignments involving black groups. Realistically, I know no one is perfect so some of these mistakes can be purely accidental, or it could be that the CSU media thinks the black student population doesn't care about the neglect they have been receiving. We do care, but this is a predominately white school and many students feel intimidated by the racism they feel from their fellow students and instructors. Most students do not know that there are ways to hold this institution accountable for its mistakes, no matter how trivial or unimportant they may seem to the rest of the student body. There are approximately 1,200 black students at Central State comprising between 9 and 10 percent of the total population. This is the largest black population at any school in the state. Contrary to popular belief, we are no more a burden to the financial aid department than the rest of the students nor are we apathetic to campus events. We are here for an education just like other students, and I think we are entitled to the same treatment. We can deal with the prejudice of the students and instructors, but we can't accept prejudice coming from an office of this institution. This letter may have no effect on the future coverage of black events or organizations, but you will know we are watching and we do care even if you don't. Terrence Mitchell

Vista State,local, world news Talks may resume
I
Vice President George Bush met with Konstantin Chernenko on Tuesday and said the new Soviet leader agreed on the the need to resume talks on serious U.S.-Soviet diputes. But Bush said it's way too early for a summit meeting. Speaking to reporters after the 30-minute meeting, Bush said the tone of the discussion was excellent, but did not give him ground to make any predictions about a possible resumption of the Geneva nuclear arms talks. Chernenko agreed with him, however, about the need to place the relationship upon a more constructive path. The meeting of the two men comes at a time when U.S.-Soviet taks have halted in virtually all areas.
Jet may counter missiles A mystery Soviet jet known as Aircraft 101 is thought to be a new supersonic fighter designed to intercept and shoot down the U.S.-made cruise missiles, Jane's Defense Weekly said Tuesday. The magazine said the four-engined aircraft, apparently developed from the Tu-128 Fiddler, may be able to carry as many as 30 air-to-air missiles and radar that sees beyond visual range. That many rockets would give the jet the capacity to intercept waves of incoming missiles. If the reports are accurate, the plane would be a major new counter to Western air and missile strikes.

Like pearls, Britain's Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean strung together nine perfect 6.0s for artistic impression Tuesday night and easily won the gold medal in ice dancing at the Winter Olympics. They added three more 6's for technical content, giving them 12 in their unprecendented show to the sultry "Bolero," a dance of passion in which Dean, a former cop, winds up throwing Torvill, a former clerk, into an imaginary volcano.
continued from page 1 According to Tassin, the key to the paper's success has been the editor. "I think things got a lot better when we changed our system. We used to have a situation where we had four editors, each one responsible for two pages. Then we changed it. We made one editor responsible for the whole paper with associate-editors to help him." The recent budget cuts did not effect the award winning semester in 1983, however the future of The Vista is relatively unknown as far as the budget is concerned. "We don't know yet what's going to happen for us next year on budget, so we couldn't say," commented Tassin. "We hear rumors
that worry us. We would like to work up a plan whereby the size and frequency of The Vista would be based on how much advertising we could sell." Mooney said that in spite of the constant staff turnover, budget cuts, and lack of sufficient staff members, "it's amazing that we do achieve the excellence that we do." "It's not to say that money is directly related to whether or not you win an award, that's not the case," said Mooney. "The case is how hard does everyone want to work." According to Matthew Driskill, editor of The Vista this semester, "The budget has had its impact, just because of the amount of people we've not been able to
hire. We're running on a skeleton staff now." "I'd like to see more pictures, better photo content and the chance to do some of the in-depth stories we haven't had," he said. Along with Driskill's ideas for improvement are Tassin's dream of becoming a daily, and addtional staff slots for Mooney. But, right now, they say there is no money. In spite of what the future holds for The Vista, right now the staff agrees it's a winner. "In the last two years, The Vista has won All American for consecutive semesters in a row. We only won once before that time, in forty-five years," Mooney concluded, "something happened, didn't it."
Threats continued from page 1 "I think it was pretty stupid," Driskill said. "If they want to protest a letter to the editor, then the proper way to do that would be to write a letter of rebuttal and send it in to the paper. By late afternoon yesterday, Driskill's speculation about the controversial letter proved to be accurate. A man called The Vista office about the racial discrimination letter and threatened Driskill, saying "We're trying to get away from all this kind of mess, then you go and put it in the paper. You dang right I'm upset and it don't make no sense.
"All of you all ought to have your behinds put in jail, shot, stabbed or whatever. It don't make no sense. And you call yourself a publisher, putting this mess in the paper. You need your ... kicked, brother. And you best just get on out the buildin'," the caller said. "And I'm going to go talk to Dean Ryan `cuz I don't think this mess is right. And if I can, brother, you might as well pack your bags, `cuz you need to go." The man refused to identify himself to Driskill. A staff member received
another intimidating one-word phone call earlier in the day. Debbie Shell, The Vista secretary, said one student came by the office asking who wrote the racial discrimination letter. The letter was printed with the writer's name withheld. Shell explained that The Vista policy regarding the confidentiality of letters to the editor would prevent any staff member from revealing the writer's identity. She invited the student and all others to write a rebuttal to the opinions expressed in the controversial letter.

A Nashville weapons store owner said Tuesday that he has sold at least 20 handguns since he placed a newspaper advertisement urging men to buy their loved ones pistols instead of flowers and candy for Valentine's Day. Bill Harton, owner of Small Arms Weaponry, said sales were brisk this week on his $214.95 sale on a .38 caliber Colt Agent with 100 rounds of ammunition, hearing protection and a training class. Harton said three or four customers mentioned Tuesday they were purchasing the handguns as Valentine's Day presents.
First heart-liver transplant A 6-year-old girl suffering from life-threatening levels of fat in her blood received a new heart and liver Tuesday in a 16-hour operation that doctors said was the world's first heart-liver transplant. Stormie Jones of Cumby, Texas, was moved out of surgery at Children's Hospital at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday after two transplant teams replaced first her heart, then her liver. She was in critical condition, considered normal for recent transplant patients.

The state Senate on Tuesday passed a bill to restrict a candidate's use of campaign contributions after the campaign ends. The bill now goes to the House. SB 439 by Sen. Ray Giles, D-Pocasset, bans personal use of contributions or any interest earned from them, but permits a candidate to retain the money for a future compaign or to use it in connection with his duties as a public official. A candidate now can do anything he wants with money left over.

Students got together and did the cotton-eyed-joe Tuesday night at the Valentine's Dance in the University Center Ballroom. Susie Goddard, left, of Delta Zeta was crowned Queen of Hearts. Other candidates for Queen of Hearts were Karen Bentley, Alpha Gamma Delta; Kathy O'Donnell, Sigma Kappa; Susan Stangl, Murdaugh Hall; Laurie Unruh, East Hall and LaDonna Workman, West Hall. The Association of Women Students sponsored an annual fund drive for the American Heart Associate. Any organization that wished to participate nominated a girl for Queen of Hearts. Goddard raised the most money, $2,81 1.50 of the $4,065.86 total thus winning her title. The dance was co-sponsored by the Residence Hall Association and the University Center Activities Board.

Computer literacy course an aid to faculty By Jung-Chiao Lou It was two o'clock in the afternoon. Dr. Kaye Sears, associate professor of Home Economics, sat in classroom 211, waiting for a new class. But this time she was not a teacher. She was one of the faculty members who attended the faculty development seminars in computer literacy. The computer literacy seminars are programs designed as an investment in faculty development, according to Dr. Clyde Jacob, assistant vice president for academic affairs. "The basic function of these programs is to strengthen faculty development in the broad sense, or to learn certain skills, such as research and instruction skills." Jacob said. These programs started last semester, according to Jacob. "We decided to continue the class this semester because of the overwhelming response we received from faculty last semester," he added.
Samuel Martin, academic cornputer coordinator, Sharon Christenberry and Bruce Jackson, have volunteered to be the instructors of the course without pay. Martin says he loves this type of work. "What we are trying to do is offer these faculty development seminars to show them and to teach them skills which will enable them to incorporate computers into their teaching activities," Martin said. From February 3 to March 27 the seminars will offer eleven different topics. "For instance, the topic of basic programming is a seminar designed to teach programming using the programming language BASIC," Martin explained. "The topic of VAX-11 gradebook package is a seminar in using the VAX-11 GRADEBOOK PACKAGE which allows instructors to keep a gradebook on the computer." People with no previous background or experience with

computers may attend these courses, Martin said. Some topics, like the CSU library on-line catalog, introduction to computer information systems, on-line database search service, are offered to all in-
terested faculty and staff, according to Martin. As a student, Kaye Sears studies hard and feels good about her new skills. "We learn how to use the word processors and how to produce
documents," Sears said. "I think it will be really helpful in my teaching." Sears plans to take as many courses as she can. "My purpose is to become a computer literate," she said.

Williams makes climb o top Larry Williams has been climbing the corporate ladder at CSU since his student days. First rung for him was as groundkeeper. Then he was janitor, labor relations mediator, affirmative action officer and now vice president for administration. A 1963 graduate of Cushing High School, Williams started work at CSU at one end of a stick with a nail in the other end. "I was on the grounds crew, picking up bottles, beer cans, cigarette butts and every other kind of trash," Williams explained. The weather began to turn cooler and Williams turned his sights to a better job. He became janitor in the building where he now occupies the vice president's suite. A brand new data processing department had been installed in the building and all the men in the department were tobacco chewers. The room had tall, skinny trash cans the chewers would spit at, sometimes they would even hit the mark. It was Williams' job to clean up the near misses. It was while washing out trash cans one night that he caught the eye of Alvin Alcorn, executive vice president of CSU and Williams' predecessor who retired Feb. 1. "CSU was hosting a high school basketball tournament and one of the gatekeepers didn't show up," Williams said. "Alvin was walking through the building when he saw me and asked, 'Can you count?"'
"Yes sir, I told him," Williams recalled. "Well, then go get cleaned up. You've got 15 minutes," Alcorn said. "I told him it would take me a little longer," Williams said. "You've got 15 minutes to get back here," was Alcorn's answer. Williams got cleaned up, returned to Alcorn's office and was given a change box to take to the game. "I've worked for Alvin almost ever since," Williams said. Williams left CSU in 1965 to take a job as office manager in the accounting department at Oklahoma State University. He returned to CSU in April, 1969, to become assistant comptroller. Shortly after returning, Williams was given a "temporary" assignment in the personnel department to work out a labor dispute involving equal opportunity. He solved the problem so quietly and efficiently that he stayed in personnel. In an effort to save the university money and to make the change of administration proceed more smoothly, Williams has retained his title as personnel director for the time being while adding to it the responsibility of overseeing the fiscal well-being of the institution. "This is a job I have worked toward for a long time," Williams said. "Now that I'm here, I stand in awe. I guess I was in the right place at the right time." Williams' responsibilities really are awesome. He is responsible for the whole budgeting process at

the university as well as the business office operations, accounting, the bursars' office and purchasing. He is over such diverse operations as printing, the health center, financial aids, the computer center, telephone service, institutional research and auxiliary enterprises, which is much like managing a small town. "Auxiliary enterprises is a separate entity, Williams explained. "Really, it's bigger than many small towns." Included are student housing, food service, catering, the book store, pool room and mail service. "It's a multi-million dollar industry right here on campus," Williams said. In addition, Williams is over the physical plant at the university which includes upkeep of the building and grounds where he started so many years ago as a student. Williams learned the business of running a campus from his mentor, Alcorn. But, Williams expects to bring his own easy-going style to the office. "Alvin did a magnificent job," Williams said. "The university is on a solid base. Given the problems of higher education at the moment, I am working to maintain the financial stability Alvin left." "The work is incredible," he added. "But I feel I have been offered a tremendous opportunity to serve the university." After a nationwide search carried out by a campus selection committee appointed by CSU President Bill Lillard, it was found the best man for the job was right here on campus all the time. "I used to think about leaving higher education and getting into
Larry Williams the private business sector. But you get committed to education. It gets in your blood," Williams said. "A college campus has a vitalilty all its own. It can be a great instrument for social change. But when it really works and we practice it, it is incredible. "I like the upbeat feeling of that philosophy. It keeps me staying here." After only a few days in office, Williams is eager to get on with the business of being the administrative officer of the third largest university in Oklahoma. Williams is greatful to his family back in Cushing who had faith in him all these years, including his mother, Morene Williams, his late father, Louis Williams, and his wife Janice's parents, Bill and Agnes Russell. "I have had a lot of support from my wife and three children," Williams said. "I'm really lucky," he added. "It's not everyone who gets to work at a job they enjoy."

Tournament needs university support By Matthew Driskill March 1. Remember that date. Put it on all the calenders in the house and office and don't make any other plans except to attend the NAIA National Wrestling Tournament here on campus. Why should I attend you might ask? There are a number of good reasons. First and foremost is the fact that we as CSU students, should make a good showing at the tourney because we are the host school.

Sports Commentary Secondly, the Bronchos are going to be wrestling some of the top talent in the NAIA and we need to be out there to cheer them on to victory. Third, it will erase from my mind the thoughts of how I think that most CSU students really don't care about what happens .here after classes are over and the cars are out of the lot. But back to that second point. Not only will the Bronchos be wrestling some of the top talent in the nation, but they will be showing their stuff in the form of Benny Coleman, Darren Huff, Gary Astle and Broncho notable Ronnie James. Two years ago the Bronchos won the national championship title. This year they have had a terrific

season, with their most recent victory over the Adams State Indians in a one-sided match that ended up with the Bronchos winning 37-6. Now, back to the third point. In an earlier commentary, I talked about how the campus needed to support the athletic department more. Not with more money, but with more attendence at the different events. How many of you out there have even been to one CSU wrestling match? Or even a basketball game or a track meet? I realize that this is a commuter school and I myself am a commuter. And I work another job besides this one and even I can find time to attend at least one event a week. And let us not forget the residents in the dorms. How many of you attend at least one event per week if possible? Some, I'm sure do attend at least once, but I know of many that do not and I even overheard a conversation the other day where one young man said he didn't even know that CSU had a track team. Now with that kind of apathy, how can we expect our teams to give it their all, when we, the student body, do not show them the support they so richly deserve? So pick up your girlfriend or boyfriend and go out for a inexpensive evening and be an athletic supporter (no pun intended).

Cameron falls to Lady Broncs By Jimmy Nickell Sports Editor The Lady Bronchos defeated Cameron, 88-66, in District 9 basketball Wednesday night. Central State led most of the way and broke the game open late in the first half. The Lady Bronchos put on a late surge in the first half to pull away from the Lady Aggies. CSU led at halftime, 45-36. Then Central put the game completely out of reach by gaining leads up to 23 points. Cameron could not make any serious threats the rest of the way as CSU ran their record to 20-7 for the season. Carrie Tucker paved ther way for the Lady Bronchos. Her 19 points led all scorers. Kim Kramer and Alette Johnson each had 14 points, while Leigh LeGrande added 12. Beverley Crawford also scored in double figures, popping in 10 points. Johnson also had a game-high 10 rebounds. Head Coach John Keely was
pleased with the win and wasn't surprised with the lopsided score. "I thought we could win easily if we just played the way we are capable of playing," Keely said. Keely went on to say, "we should be one of the top four teams in the district now, so we'll have the home court advantager in the first round of the play-offs."
