New tuition increase proposal spurs students', administrators' opinions By Deborah Bryner and Shannon Blockcolski The tuition increase proposal presented to the legislature by Gov. Henry Bellmon is part of a total budget plan to help decrease a projected $348 million downturn, according to CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard. When the State Equilization Board met in February, it estimated Oklahoma will have an additional $22 million available for appropriation next fiscal year under a new revenue forecast, but will still lack $348 million to match the year's budget. The increase is due principally to a recent rise in oil prices.
Tuition proposal revised Bellmon has reworked the details of his proposal to increase tuition in Oklahoma's higher education institutions. The latest proposal calls for tuition in comprehensive research universities to increase 32 percent, the regional and senior colleges to
rise 27 percent and the junior colleges to increase to 24 percent of the cost of instruction. The increases amount to an average of $150 per semester per student and will generate $31.3 million in revenues, Bellmon said. The total impact of these modified proposals is to produce an increase of $34.6 million for higher education, $25.4 million remains to be funded from state appropriations, Bellmon said. "As we discovered last week, Oklahoma's revenues are in flux. We are not yet certain where the additional funds will be found, but we are confident that this reduction in the amount of tuition increases can be fitted into the budget during the legislative process," Bellmon said.
Lillard discusses increase Lillard said he feels CSU is looking more toward a 10 to 15 percent increase, which would cost approximately $30 more a tri
semester for a full-time resident student. Lillard said the extra money may keep the university from receiving further serious cutbacks, as well as help get some relief in additional classroom space. "This (the space) is the university's number one priority," he said. When the tuition increases, Lillard said, the state student loans are increased.
Change to hurt enrollment Dr. Dudley Ryan, vicepresident of student services, said if the increase is passed there could be a slight reduction of enrollment of full-time and outof-state students. Ryan said he also feels the increase could hurt scholarship recipients. "Despite the increase, I believe that it would be reasonable as compared to other states. Currently Oklahoma is only above New Mexico in tuition in the region," Ryan said. "I feel that a gradual increase would be better."
Ryan also said the increase would keep the university from receiving cutbacks, and more courses may be added. The increase also would help pay for teachers and paperwork, he said. Allison Chody, a CSU student from Oklahoma City, said she feels the increase would be harder on the working students with families. "I believe if the increase passes, more people will be working more jobs, which will mean added pressure, burnout and overload," she said. Students will be taking fewer classes, Chody said, and putting off graduation longer. She said she thinks students may go to other schools out-of-state if the cost of education rises to the same level. Chody also said the extra revenue received through tuition increases would probably go to the faculty before it would go to campus or curriculum improvement. "I'm glad I am graduating this semester, because if I had to continue I wouldn't be able to afford the increase," Chody said.
SA opposes tuition hike Nelaine Greenwalt, speaker of the Student Association, said the increase would hurt CSU less than those compared to other universities. Greenwalt said she feels the proposed increase may hurt other universities so much as to cause some students to decide to attend CSU because of lower tuition rates. "Enrollment could slightly increase if the proposal passes," Greenwalt said. However, she said the 18 to 20-year-old full-time student could be hurt, especially those in campus housing. Greenwalt said some students might not be able to afford both. "The Student Association's official stance is against the increase," she said. "An increase was supported in 1985-86 to bring the students closer in line with the 25 percent cost of education goal. However, this was where the Student Association drew the line." Greenwalt added whether or not the added money would help the university would depend on how the money was managed.
Publishing company selects yearbook for design samples
Photographic Services: Darrin Presley
Intramural basketball players struggle to stop a jump shot during one of the games played Sunday in Wantland Hall. More than 400 students have entered a total of 24 teams to compete in four different leagues.
By Shannon Blockcolski The 1987 Bronze Book was selected by Taylor Publishing Company to use as a sample yearbook because it "looks much, much different from the Bronze Books in the past," said Tom Quaid, Taylor representative. The Bronze Book will be distributed to sales representatives across the nation for display. "It is quite an honor," Quaid said. Jane Meese, editor in chief of The Bronze Book, said the yearbook was chosen on the basis of the 140 pages already turned into the company. "This year, the layouts are different, we are striving for a consistent theme throughout the yearbook and giving each section an individual look," she said. "A lot of progressive things are being done in design of yearbooks, so we tried to incorporate as many current designs as possible." The theme for the yearbook is "Essence of '87: What Makes
CSU the University That It is." Meese said the yearbook does not look anything like any of the previous Bronze Books. "The cover is much different, we tried to go for a really clean look," she said. "We also followed the basic layout principles, using a dominant photo on almost every page." The Bronze Book will be handed out to the students the last week in April, barring unforseen difficulties, Meese said. "The pages have to be at the plant by Feb. 25, so even though we try to cover as many campus events as possible, with a late February deadline we can't get everything in," she said. The '87 Bronze Book began the year with a new staff, Meese, a senior; Kellie Conner, freshman, performing arts and faculty and administration editor; Debbie Descher, junior, sports editor; Jo Lynn McClellan, senior, people and honors editor; and Leah Tennison, freshman, organizations
editor, and a new advisor, Samuel Sackett. "We really had our work cut out for us at the beginning of the year, but everything has come together quite nicely," Meese said. "The book shows there was a good overall effort on the part of the staff. "At the beginning, there was some speculation that with the new staff and advisor we might not be able to get the yearbook out. I think the book will be an overall representation of the long hours, hard work and creative talents of the staff."
Correction In the Feb. 17 issue of The Vista, under the story "Article on election incorrect, 6 chosen as campus leaders," Kelly Queri was incorrectly listed as president of Delta Zeta. Queri is an elementary education major and president of the University Center Activities Board. The Vista editor apologizes for this error.

Yacht racing? Ask Webster
Opinion Page
To the editor:
In regards to John Helsley's commentary, yacht racing is considered a sport! According to Webster's Dictionary, sport is defined as a recreation involving bodily activity. It would seem if you had done the proper research before writing your socalled article, you would have noticed the physical activity involved with yacht racing. The grinders, the ones who turn the sails and rutter, must have incredible strength and endurance, somewhat like a football player or power lifter. The men who collect the sails, after changes in direction of wind, must possess strength as well as good balance, like a gymnast, in order to balance themselves on the bow of the boat against the wind and the bouncing of the boat, due to the rough waters. You brought up the point about New York Mayor Ed Koch not giving a ticker-tape parade for his city's "home" team. I must point out again that if you had done research on the matter you would have found that the reason is the New York Giants are stationed and operate out of Meadowlands, New Jersey. They moved there from New York over a year ago. Why didn't New Jersey throw a ticker-tape parade? I feel you are upset because you don't understand the "sport," just like many women don't understand football or tennis. As so far as yachting being for the extremely rich, we earned it, we should spend it how we please. Brandon Lewis Editor's note: Ditch digging is also a bodily activity utilizing strength and endurance, but I wouldn't say it requires athletic ability. To borrow a line from Creedence Clearwater Revival; "I ain't no fortunate son."

Buildings need fresh air To the editor:
I would like to address the subject of tobacco smoke in the halls of most buildings on campus. Personally, I have an allergic reaction to tobacco smoke, which causes me extreme discomfort. For that reason I have to avoid the student center and stay out of the halls as much as possible. I am a former smoker, so I can appreciate the smoker's addiction and the need to smoke when under the high stress caused by academia. What I do not understand is the excessive level of tobacco smoke that builds up in the halls and is not ventilated out of the buildings. Because of my allergy I can sense tobacco smoke, whereas many people just think that the air is stale. The problem for me is also a health
hazard for all of us. Only a few weeks ago the U.S. Surgeon General published a report in which numerous long term studies from around the world concluded that breathing other people's tobacco smoke does cause lung cancer in non-smokers. Some countries such as Sweden have made lung cancer in non-smokers covered under worker's compensation laws when the employee was forced to work around smokers. I read another report last week which said smoking is largely a lower class phenomenon today. It cited statistics proving that as a person's education increases, so does the likelihood they will be non-smokers. I also read an article in the Wall Street Journal, which said 10 years ago about
60 percent of the nations chief executive officers smoked, yet only 17 percent smoke today and most are trying to quit.. The controversy between smokers and those who believe they have a right to breath fresh air will eventually be resolved in favor of the fresh air buffs and will be legislated for us. In the meantime, why can't we just get the old air blown out of the buildings and fresh air pumped in on a continuous basis? That way neither smokers nor non-smokers will have to filter the tiny carcinogenic particles from the air with their lungs. I prefer not to breath someone else's waste products and would appreciate a little fresh air. Name withheld by request
Bellmon's proposals ignore culture To the editor:
A mass escape of concern has occurred in Oklahoma's citizens. Gov . Bellmon talked of his support of education and a better economy, but his actions prove otherwise. I refer to his plan of cutting funding for art, music, speech and other related programs in education and relying on "local funding" to support these programs. As an art education major, and as one who has been involved in speech and music, I can say from experience that they need a necessary ingredient to
education, and, more importantly, they play a crucial and integral role in our future economy. Speech and drama builds selfconfidence, self-esteem and communication skills, which are vitally necessary in business, and business is economy. Art and music improve coordination, visual and social skills, and our quality of life. What industry would wish to move to Oklahoma with the "verbally and visually illiterate," when surrounding states support all areas of their education?
If we have placed Bellmon in office by ignorance, we should be prepared to support or remove him, or to support those programs which are vital to our future. We support our sports and enjoy watching them, but art and communication are our future, and our future cannot be a spectator sport. The search continues for those concerned to stand up and be counted. Let Bellmon and your legislators know we care about our future. James Graham
Nicaraguan government not 'peaceful' To the editor:
Where is the simple, peaceful agrarian land you called Nicaragua? The only Nicaragua I know of has received extensive military assistance from Russia, East Germany and Cuba, including the advanced Soviet Hind helicopter. The only Nicaragua I know of uses a military draft to maintain a standing army of 60,000 active soldiers and a reserve of 120,000 — the largest
military force in the region. The only Nicaragua I know of has forcibly relocated parts of the native Indian population, suppressed the Roman Catholic Church and closed every opposition press and radio station in the country. The only Nicaragua I know of has leaders who have backed out on their promise to hold free and open elections. Was every senator and represen-
tative who voted to aid the opposition to such a tyrannical regime also a `murderer'? Why are the MarxistLeninist liars who have created the problem not also called 'murderers'? Is everyone who fights tyranny also a `murderer,' or do you reserve the label for conservative, American Presidents? Kim A. Foltz

Dimension News: World, state and local Prospective CIA Director grilled during hearing Acting CIA Director Robert M. Gates said Tuesday before the Senate the CIA violated its own rules during the secret arms sales to Iran. During the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing to confirm Gates as CIA Director, he told committee members he would have handled the situation differently if he was in charge. Gates has been appointed by President Reagan to replace former CIA Director William Casey.
Budget bill to spare education A bill introduced by House Budget Committee Chairman Steve Lewis, as an alternative to Gov. Henry Bellmon's budget proposal, would shield education from budget cuts and force the Department of Transportation to take up the slack. Under the proposal, the Department of Transportation would be forced to burden one third of the budget cuts through the fiscal year, which would put all road contracts on hold. Several law makers favor the bill over Gov. Bellmon's plan to cut budgets for all state agencies by three percent during the remainder of the fiscal year. Other agencies protected under the proposed bill are the Department of Public Safety, the district courts and The Ethics Commission.
Flu outbreak lower than normal An official from the State Health Department said Tuesday Oklahoma is experiencing a slow flu season. Mid-February is normally the peak period for the flu season in the state, but the number of reported cases now compared to one year ago is substantially lower. One important difference between this season and last year's is apparent in the school systems. The statewide flu surveillance network hasn't detected any flu outbreaks in schools this year. Last year, many schools were forced to close to contain the spread of the flu. Health officials believe the drop, in cases this year is due to the different strain of virus, A-Taiwan. A-Taiwan flu differs from other strains because it affects only persons who have not been exposed to it before (those under 35 years old).
Oral Roberts loses TV contract Dallas television station WFAA-TV has decided not to renew its contract with Oral Roberts, a Tulsa minister who has said God told him he would die if he failed to raise enough money to fund a medical school. Roberts made the initial statement in January, repeated it again later in the month and renewed his financial appeal for help to fund the medical center on Sunday. Station President Dave Lane said Bill Cox, program director at the station, reviewed the Sunday show and decided it was one long financial appeal. The station refused to air the second show in January during which Roberts appealed for financial help for his medical school.
Bankruptcy filings rising The Oklahoma City federal bankruptcy court filed 75 petitions Tuesday, a new record for the amount of petitions filed in one day. So far this year, there have been 1,147 bankruptcycases filed in the court. Most petitioners are filing under Chapter Seven, which calls for liquidation of a debtor's assets to pay off creditors. Many of the petitions filed have been tied to real estate or farming, and are blamed on the weak condition of Oklahoma's economy.
Editor: pick an angle To the editor: You asked me in the Feb. 10 issue of The Vista if I thought you influenced the student senate or the student body in any way. The answer is: I hope so. That's what we're paying you "hundreds of dollars a year" for. I quote the immortal Bobby Joe Mercer: "There are 600 million people out there just waiting to be led by their noses. They need my help." Sound advice. And a budding young journalist like yourself could learn from it. See, when our founding fathers decreed that we should have freedom of the press, they were saying this: "We, the people, in order to cut your taxes to a level everyone can live with, hereby resolve to give the press free reign over what they print. This will save us hundreds of dollars a year (editors worked cheap back then) from having to hire news staffs and putting out papers. "It will be the sovereign duty of the press to feed the people all the
bull they can handle without choking on it. And if you ever betray this trust, we'll have a commie overthrow of this government, then you'll be sorry." One thing our fathers didn't count on was liberals, but that just shows they were human. What we get from them is an attitude of condescending condemnation when people like the Right and Honorable Edwin Meese tell us we are in terrible danger of having our morals corrupted forevermore by caterers of filth, smut and pornography. I am really shocked to find that our journalism department here overlooks this important aspect of your chosen field. They should have told you the Red- Scare of the 50's wouldn't have been scary at all without a few good right-wing publishers and editors to lead the way. Without the press, the good and much-maligned Sen. Joe McCarthy would have never been able to save us from the Commie Menace.
I seem to recall hearing something about yellow hournalism, but I don't know anything about it. I figure it's some kind of slur against the Asians, and shouldn't be tolerated. What you need to do is to decide whether you want to be a liberal or a conservative and slant your paper that way. If you choose the good and proper side (that's Conservative to you), then you should have no trouble finding a good model to follow right here in the area. Once you decide on the slant, and we donkey-haters hope and pray that you pick the right one, then you can lead us around forever. Letters like the one from John Phillips will cease to appear in your mail, and your career opportunities will be unlimited. You'll never have to apologize again for what you say or do, because you'll know in your conservative heart that you are right. So start earning your "hundreds of dollars a year." Mark Pfeifer
Letter explains apathy To the editor: I must commend Deborah True for her comments in the Feb. 5 edition of The Vista! She, better than anyone else, has answered the question of why apathy is a problem on this campus. I have observed tue attitude of students on campus for the past three years, and now understand where it originates. It is the absence of concern to which Deborah refers. If people were interested enough in what goes on around them, they might take the time to learn the facts. Most people don't even have enough facts to form an opinion, so why be concerned? Let's be glad we have a few concerned and informed people
around. "Where are they" you ask? The Vista, for a start, also the student senate (no, seriously) and Residence Hall Association. For example, Senators Mayre Trice and John Hewell sponsored five resolutions to be sent to housing. These delt with the following: reimbursment of unused meals; allowing those on the 10-mealplan to eat on weekends (betcha' didn't know they couldn't); making Sunday evening sack lunches available to all students with meal tickets and not to just those on the training table; allowing students to prepare their own sack-lunches (a program available at other Oklahoma institutions); requiring a parent's signature on a housing
contract only if the student is under 18 years of age; revoking the requirement the 18-23 yearolds be required to live on campus; and finally, not having a set meal plan. These are items that have needed attention for a long time and benefit the students. Unfortunately, these kinds of action go unnoticed. Another problem occurs when people think they are informed when they are not, or worse, when they have the wrong facts. A look through The Vista in the past few weeks will illustrate this clearly. The bottom line, I guess, is that it's not enough to be informed, but be informed properly. Terry LaFrance

Debaters dominate tournament From Staff Reports The debate team brought home four first place trophies from the Southwest Texas State University Debate Tournament, Feb. 13, 14 and 15, in San Marcos, Texas. John McHale, a junior from Nowata, and Jessica Grassmann, a junior from Bethany, finished their first six rounds of preliminary competition with a 6-0 win-loss record. Kim Perry, a junior from Bethany, and Sandy Carroll, a sophomore from Edmond, finished their first rounds with a 5-1
win-loss record. The two teams then advanced to the finals where they obtained the first and second place trophies. McHale placed as top speaker at the tournament in the Open CEDA division, while Grassmann and Perry received third, and Carroll placed sixth. Bret McClendon, a sophomore from Emporia, Kan., and Todd Newman, a freshman from Miami, placed first after defeating Baylor University in the final of the Junior NDT division. McClendon won the top speaker award, and Newman
placed second. In the Senior NDT division, Martin Glendinning, a senior from Oklahoma City, and Drew Duke, a sophomore from Edmond, finished the first eight rounds of competition with a 7-1 win-loss record, and advanced into secondary elimination competition. They took third place after they were defeated by North Texas State University in the semi-final round. In the same division, Tammy Flemming, a junior from Oklahoma City, and Craig
Tomlin, a sophomore from Tulsa, earned a 4-4 win-loss record in preliminary competition. Glendinning won the third place speaker award in the Senior NDT division, with Duke placing fifth, and Tomlin taking sixth. "We did a great job this weekend," said Doug Duke, director of forensics. "This tournament revealed intensive preparation for the national tournaments coming up in all three divisions. We hope that we can continue to place very high among competition as the final tournaments draw closer."
Former director contributes papers to library Lloyd E. Rader, the previous director of the State Department of Human Services, donated his papers to the CSU Library.

"Through the efforts of many dedicated individuals and Mr. Rader himself, these documents from his 31 years of service to the citizens of our state have been filed, indexed and made public to
researchers and scholars," said CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard during the dedication services Feb. 6 in the Max Chambers Library Oklahoma Collection room. "During his tenure in office, he was perhaps one of the most powerful and recognizable names in Oklahoma government. We are extremely pleased that Mr. Rader donated his papers to Central State University," Lillard added. The Rader Collection was donated to CSU largely through

"Students currently pay 50 cents per credit hour, up to a maximum of $7.50 each semester, in the form of union fees toward the purchase of the University Center," said Shilling. "I would like to know if students are getting their money's worth." Acebo, in a letter to the editor published in the The Vista Jan. 29, claimed the resolution was railroaded through the student senate. Shilling said opposition to the resolution was probably based on a lack of understanding by some opposing senators as to how student activity fees are allocated. Eight of the 10 senators who voted against the measure were surveyed. The majority felt research justifying the building was inconclusive, and more information and research on the feasibility of renovating already existing buildings was needed. Acebo said because Shilling's name was on the resolution, it would be "as good as signed." Shilling said his name was typed on the report because he appointed the committee conducting the original research. Acebo said he felt since Shilling's name was on the report, some senators may have been intimidated to vote for the resolution. In response Acebo has authored a resolution "to insure an un-intimidating and un-biased atmosphere during student senate meetings." If passed, the resolution would prohibit executive and judiciary officers from floor privileges in the senate chamber unless a motion is made and carried allowing such action. The resolution also would apply to all situations, including executive and judicial reports and announcements. Shilling said he is opposed to such a resolution because the Student Association Constitution requires many executive officers to serve on legislative committees. He stressed in a letter to student senators the executive and legislative branches of the senate involve cooperation rather than separation. The letter stated, "The two
branches function together as a team, complimenting each other in common goals. It is very important to remember we are not here to play political games, or gain education in politics. Our duty is to represent the student body." Supporters of the building said they see Acebo's efforts to block
Jeff Shilling
the resolution as an attempt to endear himself to the CSU administration and to students unfamiliar with the student activity fees allocation process. Acebo, however, said he opposed the building resolution because the money used could be better spent elsewhere. Shilling said if the money isn't used out of the student activities fund and is re-directed into another area, soon the fund would be used as another general fund for the university, meaning the students would lose the benefit of the allocated money. Some opponents of the building resolution said the cost of constructing such a building would re-allocate approximately 5 percent of the student activity fee, which could hurt the athletics programs on campus. Shilling said if enrollment increases continue, money collected from new students would make up the added strain on the activities fees. Supporters of the resolution believe the money should go to something other than the athletic budget. The Student Association practically has no say about how their activity fees are spent. In 1985, during a dispute over allocation of funds between the university administration and the student and faculty senates, Dr. Bill Lillard, CSU president, said despite direct input, comments and suggestions from faculty and students, he still made the final decisions on how the money was to be allocated before he presented the recommendation to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. Lillard added he . had the responsibility of determining the best overall student activity program on campus. This differs from Oklahoma University and Oklahoma State University, where their student governments have control over 10 percent of their activity budgets. Shilling said unless students at CSU show dissatisfaction over the current system of allocations of funds, the situation would not change.

Tracksters struggle at downtown meet By John Helsley Sports Editor
Just two weeks before the NAIA National Track Meet, the Broncho track squads eot a dose of national competition Friday and Saturday at The Daily Oklahoman Track Classic held at the Myriad.
VISTA With teams such as Wayland Baptist, Abilene Christian and Pittsburg State, the CSU tracksters met the caliber of athletes that they will be facing at the national meet in Kansas City. The meet proved to be a tough test for the Bronchos, who didn't have anyone place in the top
three, and had only six placers overall. No member of the women's track team placed. Victor Williams, who had won every high hurdle event of the season, fared the best for CSU as he placed fourth in the 60-yard high hurdles. "He (Williams) got a bad start
SPORTS and never really recovered," said CSU coach Paul Parent. "The start is very important in a short race like that. "If he had run the same time in the final as he did in the semifinal, he would have won." Williams ran a 7.60 in the semifinals and a 7.71 in the final. The
difference between the second and fourth places was only .03. CSU's mile-relay team also registered a fourth place finish in a time of 3:22.01. The squad of Doug Gonzales, Eugene Spears, Mike Cherry and Tim Taylor finished behind Abilene Christian, Wayland Baptist and Lubbock Christian. Cherry placed fifth in the 880-yard run while Gonzales also placed fifth in the 440. The distance medley relay team of Mike Hogan, Taylor, William Meadows and Nelson Begay posted a fifth place finish with a time of 10:24.98. "We ran well overall," Parent said, "but that's a tough meet and a lot of those teams will be at our national meet. One thing that is still hurting us is that our track is still underwater and we can't work out on it. "We've added two extra meets just so we could get a good workout," he continued. Parent will take a select squad to Norman for an invitational meet Saturday. He'll take those who have qualified for the national meet and anyone who is close to qualifying.

Stumbling Lady Bronchos saddled by OCC cagers By Mary Butler The CSU women's basketball team scored more field goals, hauled down more rebounds, and committed less turnovers than the Oklahoma Christian College Lady Eagles Monday night, but still
managed to come up on the short side of the final score, 59-53. "The only statistic that ever matters is the number of points we put on the score board," said Coach John Keely. "We just didn't shoot well. We got the

Jeff Brown goes up and over to clear 6'6" in Saturday's high jump competition.
One look at a pair of statistics will tell what kind of game it was for the CSU basketball team Monday night. In a matchup against crosstown rival Oklahoma Christian, the Eagles outrebounded CSU 67-21 and made 24-of-27 free throw attempts, while the Bronchos converted only eight-of-11. The difference on the scoreboard wasn't much closer as the Bronchos were bombed, 79-60, in what may have been their poorest outing in a season, which now has them staring at a 9-19 record. Sixty-seven rebounds is an amazing figure. Most coaches would be glad to have 67 rebounds in two games. To compound matters, CSU leading scorer Mark Martinovich had his worst shooting night, canning only one-of-13 shots from the field. It wasn't that the Eagles were playing great defense; it just wasn't a good night for the senior from Bartlesville. He was open for his usually-patented, 15-foot jumper much of the evening, but the shots just wouldn't fall. In general, that's the kind of night it was for the Bronchos. Freshman Reggie Evans, who continues to improve with playing time, was one bright spot for the CSU cagers. The point guard from Edmond paced the Broncho scorers with 14 points, including a pair of 3-pointers. Keith Newton tallied 12 points for the Bronchos while Andy Parker and Antonio Gibson each contributed eight. Newton's seven rebounds was a team high. Kevin Rehl led the Eagle scoring charge with 21 points, Collis Clark tallied 15 and Robert Jones had 13. Jones and Rodney Fergason each pounded the boards for 13 rebounds to pace OCC in that category. The Eagles used a 16-0 run midway through the game to blow the game open. Late in the first half, the Eagles held a 33-29 lead, but CSU hit a cold streak and three minutes into the second period, OCC was in command at 49-29. The contest was quite a contrast to the first meeting between the clubs on Nov. 11, when OCC needed a basket with nine seconds remaining to rally past the Bronchos 54-43. While the Eagles improved to 24-8 with the win, the Bronchos found themselves trying to avert a 20-loss season with a road game at Cameron remaining.
shots we wanted, but they just weren't falling." Despite out-shooting the Lady Eagles 23-22 from the floor, the Lady Bronchos shot a dismal 35 percent from the field, and 53 percent from the free throw line. The CSU crew also nudged the Lady Eagles on the boards 43-42, and forced more OCC turnovers, 12-11. The Lady Broncho defense was on track, holding the league's leading scorer, Pam Kelly, to just 10 points. The 5'10" junior standout is averaging 25 counters a game. Kim Thomas, CSU's top scorer this year, again paced the Lady Broncho offense, netting 15 markers, hauling in eight rebounds, and dishing out a pair of assists. Stacy Stout chipped in 11 points and came up with six rebounds, while LaDonna James and Cheri Happe teamed up for 13 counters and 13 rebounds. Happe, CSU's leading playmaker, also handed out four assists. Angie Cook led all Lady Eagle scorers, tallying a dozen markers while Lisa Landrum, Chalonda Williams and Kelly each added 10. Williams also paced OCC on the boards, snagging 10 rebounds while Kelly grabbed 10. The Lady Bronchos, falling to 16-13 with the loss, are still shooting for a longshot, back door slot into the District IX playoffs next week. "To say we have to win to make it into the playoffs is a false statement," said Keely. The fate of the Lady Bronchos post-season hopes rests in a specific combination of wins and loses by other District IX teams.

Softballers fortunes hinge on infield By Rob Rumbaugh
•
•
Student Writer An experienced outfield and one of the top returning pitchers in the league highlight this year's CSU softball team. The Lady Bronchos will return their premier pitcher, as well as one of the nation's best, in junior Gladys Griffin of Bethany, who posted a 0.40 ERA in 1986. She rang up an 18-6 record a year ago, while striking out 264 in 174.1 innings. Griffin, a two-time NAIA AllAmerican, also doubles in leadership responsibilities at the plate. Her overall batting average of .327 was second on last season's hitting list. She also posted a team high 21 RBI's. Sharing the throwing duties
with Griffin will be Mary Butler, a junior transfer out of Penn State, and Jane Kajs, a junior out of Wichita Falls, Texas. "We have returners at pitcher, catcher and the outfield positions, and that's our strength, because they are experienced and proven ballplayers," said CSU coach Gerry Pinkston. "We have strength at pitcher because of Gladys Griffin, who has been a two-time AllAmerican. Dee Gerlach returns at catcher and she is probably the best all-around player on the team. She can play any position." A strong pinch-hitter, Tami Loy of Blanchard will back up Gerlach at catcher. Now in her third season as a Lady Broncho, Loy may be counted on to see
some playing time in the infield at first or third base. Two freshmen newcomers will fill starting positions at second base and shortstop. Leslie Legget of Oklahoma City will handle second base while Pam Martin, a Moore graduate, will fill the shortstop duties. With the graduation of some top players off of last year's team, first and third bases have been pretty much left open. A lineup shuffle using the pitchers could fill the first base position if junior Lisa Hedrick from Crescent doesn't take charge of the starting role. A young infield that needs to prove itself early to contend nationally is rounded out by two young reserves, freshman short-
stop Trina Ressler of Alva, and Cyndi Short, a sophomore third baseman out of Sallisaw. "Our area to be proven is the infield, because we have four new players," Pinkston said. "We lost all four infielders from last year." Two returning starters and one part-time starter stack an experienced outfield. Senior leftfielder Leslie Blaylock from Sapulpa will return for her final year. More senior leadership in the outfield will be provided by three-year starter and former Academic All-American Irene Warwick. Del City native Michelle Laney rounds out the returning outfielders and probable starters. A part-time starter last year, she will add speed and smart play to an

already talented and experienced outfield. Robin Colbert, a transfer out of Lawrence, Kan., will maintain depth for the outfield and infield as well. In the last three years CSU has finished out the regular season ranked in the top five, but has been unable to advance from one of the toughest districts in the nation. Oklahoma City University has afforded most of the competition trading the second and third ranking in the national poll with the Lady Bronchos for most of last year. Oklahoma Baptist University and Northeastern University will produce traditional obstacles in CSU's attempt at a Bi-District call. "We are going to be a good team," said Pinkston. "But it's hard to say how good we'll be because of our inexperienced infield. "We play quite a bit those first two weeks of March. By the time our tournament rolls around, we'll have a few games under our belts and that should help us get it together." After scrimmaging Oklahoma State Thursday in Stillwater, the Lady Bronchos will open their regular season March 2 at home against Wartburg of Iowa in a 2:30 p.m. doubleheader. March will be a busy month for the softbailers as they play eight doubleheaders and two tournaments. "By the end of the season, we could be as good, if not better, than we were last year," Pinkston said. "Our goal is to win district first. Then, if we accomplish that, we'll re-set new goals for the national tournament."

Old North approaches 100th year By Pat Hammert Student Writer Old North Tower has stood sentry over college students scurrying to and from classes on the CSU campus for close to 100 years. Hieroglyphic-like initials are carved into the soft sandstone on the lower level of the building. According to an old unpublished manuscript on the history of Central State, that sandstone was quarried and hauled from a farm some five miles northwest of the campus. Above the south entrance, a concrete slab states: "Erected in 1893." When Anton H. Classen donated 40 acres for the campus of what was then Central State
Normal School, wild buffalo had roamed here just 30 years before. In 1892, less than 100 pupils were enrolled. The first president of Central State was Richard Thatcher, "a witty, genial and kindly man," according to the unpublished manuscript. In April 1890, he made his request to the Territorial Board of Education for funding to construct the first building in the territory to be dedicated to higher education. First to be built was the central portion of what stands now; "a great square" made of compressed bricks of native Oklahoma clay from the Jackson farm located a half mile north of the campus. On Jan. 2, 1893, the students
and teachers "marched in a body" from Central Hall to the still unfinished Old North Tower Building. Wing additions were made in the summer of that same year. In 1895, the south wing was finished and in 1896 the entire building was completed. A line drawing published in a January 1917 edition of The Vista may have been the first appearance in print of the name "The Old Tower." At that time it was said one could see the Oklahoma City skyline and the capital building from the tower. A few years ago Dr. Stanley Hoig, retired professor of journalism and Bronze Book advisor, took a photograph from the top

floor of the Max Chambers Library. "In that photograph, I recorded the buildings in downtown Oklahoma City, so I'm sure on a clear smog-free day one can see them from the tower," Hoig said. Repair on an old building such as Old North Tower has to be a continual process, according to Hoig. The first and second floors were entirely renovated in 1963 and the third and fourth floors were done in 1968. At that time it was declared the soundest
building on campus, according to records. The first president was quoted as saying it was so solidly constructed the building "would stand 300 years." "If kept in good repair, I'm sure it could last 200 more years," Hoig said. The Department of Education is currently housed in Old North Tower. In 1971, it was placed on the National Register of Historical Places.

Merchants offer discounts By J Burst Student Writer Some of the local merchants and professional businesses, such as doctors and dentists, are offering discounts to students who are currently enrolled in college. Discounts vary according to the place of business. "Most students are on a tight budget and appreciate any break they can get," said one merchant. "We don't advertise our discount, but if they ask we will be glad to
oblige them," he added. Some places require a student identification card before a discount is given. Other businesses simply ask if a certain professor is still teaching the class, and perhaps relate an incident that happened to them while they were attending school. "This is one way to show our appreciation to our customers who are students and can really use a discount. It's also good business for us," said a local hair stylist.
