Communication problem plagues administration

By MaryGaye Franklin Associate Editor Over the past two months the administration has been plagued with the problem of not being able to provide telephone communications to the new health and science building, said Larry Williams, vice president for administration. "The problem is we have been unable to get phone cable run into the building," Williams said "and until we get service into the building no one can move in there." Williams discovered the problem around the first of January when he called AT&T to order the telephone instruments for the new facility. "I called and placed the order with AT&T and they called me back about two hours later and told me that there was no cabling to the building that they could hook the instruments to," Williams said. According to Williams during the planning process before divestiture of AT&T he had planned for the normal cabling process to occur. "In terms of advance planning we had run cable from the mainframe switchboard in Murdaugh Hall to the southwest portion of the campus where the new facility is located," Williams said. This cable provides service to the new math and computer science building which was connected before divestiture. "So we actually have cable right up to the building

but at the present time cannot utilize the cable because it belongs to SW Bell and not AT&T. "For some reason the building was not cabled in advance." SW Bell was going through a cycle of splits and changes and somehow the cabling was overlooked, Williams said. "I don't think there was any intention by any of the phone companies to mislead us. I just think that there was such a state of confusion regarding divestiture that none of them understood what the problems would be." Williams explained, "before divestiture, CSU was handled by SW Bell. As far as plant operations and telephones went they brought in everything. "They provided inside and outside cabling and dialtone all the way to the offices," Williams said. "I had a number of conversations with SW Bell before divestiture and had operated under the assumption that there would be some flexibility for problem solving after divestiture not knowing fully what they would be at the time. "Since divestiture SW Bell only brings service to the mainframe switchboard and it is AT&T's responsibility to bring it to the offices and provide the instruments. "The cable that goes down to the health science building belongs to SW Bell but they are no longer in See Phones on page 3

Field trips include gay bars, prisons

Irving provides unique approach to classes By Ronda Chesser He wears an earring and African tribal robes, encourages his students to call him by his first name, takes his classes to gay bars and prisons and seems amused by the fact he is constantly being a labeled an eccentric. Dr. Lewis Irving, professor of sociology, approaches teaching in a unique way which allows students to explore themselves and society and have fun at the same time. Irving has taught at CSU since 1969. He previously taught at OCU while working on advanced courses. "I love to go to class," Irving said. "I look at my students as friends." "Lewis", to his students, teaches sociology, juvenile deliquency, social problems and a fairly new class at this university, human sexuality. "I feel the students learn more

by getting the feel or experiencing what they are learning," Irving said. This is the reason for the many field trips he sponsors for his classes. He encourages his introduction to sociology class to accompany him to local male and female gay bars, in an effort to help them understand alternative lifestyles. His juvenile delinquency class tours juvenile facilities and prisons. This shows the students what society is doing with the criminals of today, Irving said. Using another method of experimental sociology, Irving is allowed to get a few volunteer students intoxicated. Students learn the effects of alcohol on different body weights and learn firsthand how much alcohol it takes to make them "legally drunk". The intoxicated students are then subjected to a breathanaylsis test administered by the

Oklahoma City Police Department. These experimental projects which introduce students to the problems of drunk driving become very awakening experiences for most. Irving combines these experiments with facts concerning the possible consequences of a drunk driving arrest. Visits to Oklahoma and Texas prisons reinforce his point when students see people behind bars as a result of

their combination of alcohol and automobiles. His students say this is a very eye opening trip. For days after the trip they can be heard in the halls advising friends against the evils of drinking and driving. The social problems class discusses the problems of society such as abortion, drugs, alcohol and prostitution. Irving dicusses the various aspects of these pro-

blems as well as teaching his students to deal with them. Students get firsthand knowledge of these situations through various speakers Irving schedules who are familiar with the subjects. "Call girls" speak to his students about prostitution. At one time he was able to take his female students to a house of prostitution to interview them. The See Irving on page 3

Debaters sweep tourney The CSU debate squad swept the University of Arkansas debate tournament this past weekend bringing home 13 trophies in two divisions and a sweepstakes award for the best squad record.

Fair shake given to all By Matthew Driskill Editor This newspaper printed a letter to the editor in the Febuary 14 issue. Since then, the office has been innundated with letters rebutting that letter, phone calls threatening the staff with harm and other letters from people who wondered why the letter in question was printed in the first place. The opinion page of this paper is just that, an opinion page. It is used as a forum for the students and all others concerned with the university to express their opinions and ideas about happenings on the campus that affect all of us. The reason that particular letter was printed was the author had a valid opinion to express and was perfectly within his or her rights to submit it for publication, just as the people who wish to rebutt the letter have a right to submit their letters. The Vista does not take sides in this issue. We are concerned with printing both sides and make the best effort possible with the resources available to do just that. The staff does not agree, nor do we disagree with the content of that letter or any others. We are merely providing a place so that those who have no place to air their views may do so. The issue at hand is one of racial discrimination which has plagued humankind since time began. It is an issue that will not easily go away and one that all people need to be concerned with. Violence and hatred will not solve the problems at hand. Only through patience and understanding can we ever hope to resolve the differences between people. A wise man once said that we fear the dark because we do not understand it. Understanding others can erase those fears, but it will take time and hard work to do that. Let us all who are concerned with this issue, take a moment to think, is what I am doing going to cause more problems or help to resolve the issue? Your opinions are welcomed and encouraged just as the opinion of the author of the letter in question was welcomed. It is not our place to choose sides, but it is our responsibility to see that both sides have a fair shake.

Opinion Page Students tell their beliefs regarding equality letter Letter to the Editor: As for you not understanding why black people are so shocked by a recent cross burning at a local campus, there's really not that much to understand, that is if you have the mental capability for logic. No one asked those people to burn a cross on a local campus or any where else for that matter, and the black people did not bring it all on themselves. The people who burned the cross did. Another thing, Miss America can be black, white, or any other color as long as she meets the requirements to be Miss America. Vanessa Williams ran for Miss America just like all the rest of the candidates in the pageant. The judges of the pageant chose Vanessa because they felt she was the best one suited for the honor, not because she was black. I'm sure Vanessa worked very hard to acheive her victory, and I don't think anything should be taken away from her. I think she should get the same amount of praise as any other Miss America. I'll bet if Miss America would have been white you wouldn't be putting up such a fuss. As for not having a white heritage week, who said you couldn't. Nobody cares if you have a white heritage week or a white heritage counselor, if that's what you want get the people and committees together and go for it. Whatever you do, don't try to put blacks down for celebrating their heritage. We have a right to look back and celebrate the great acheivements of black men and women because they have come a long way and plan to go further. Oh yes, if you want to get a grant all you have to do is to apply for one, and if you don't qualify then that's your problem, not the publics. By the way, I'm sure that blacks don't get everything handed to them on a silver platter just because they scream discrimination. I'm pretty sure they had to strive to get those things. Oh, and don't be sorry for the hard past black people had, just don't try to make the future harder, because whether or not you know it everyone has a dream. Too bad you were'nt man or woman enough to put your name on the article you wrote because I would like to talk to you in person to give you a few facts. Robin Major Letter to the Editor: This may be considered a reply to the letter contained in Tuesday's issue of The Vista. Before I begin I would like to say that I am shocked that The Vista would print this dirt in the first place. But this is America and we do allow room for trash as well as good writing. Taking the points one by one—If the Miss America Pageant was not so unfair to blacks and other minorities, we

would not have to have a Miss Black America contest. Therefore you do not have a leg to stand on. Yes, we have a Black Heritage Week and we are proud of our past. Would you like to have one? It is a free country you know. The same goes for the peer counselor issue. Blacks are given jobs that we should have had years ago but didn't. We had unequal education or none at all. If you are fed up with black allottments and goals then I suggest you quit eating. We have a long way to go still. As for having access to everything whites have and more, that may hold true when we are talking about unemployment, but nothing more. If that were true, we would have long since had a black president and a Miss America. You are not interested in equality, you are interested in keeping things the way they have always been with no major changes. Well I hate to tell you but the "good old days" are just that. You do not have a dream, what you have is a bad hallucination. Cedric Editor's note: The paper received more letters regarding the equality letter than could be printed in the space available. All letters conforming to the rules set down below will be published on a space available basis. Letter to the Editor: How can I be told that I brought it on myself? How can I be wrong honoring my forefathers? These men and women fought so I could have rights guaranteed me. Guaranteed by the constitution of these United States that "all men are created equal." The blacks of America have been through some hard times. That was the past, we are now looking ahead to the future. The past will always be, but the future will be what we make it. Everyone across the nation has a dream, no matter what color you are. However, what made the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream special is that it was believed by a whole race of people. They strived for that dream, for it was their inspiration. It is beyond me how someone can tell me I brought on the recent cross burning. No matter what people might do there is no justification for a cross to be burned. There might be a black man running for president and there is a black Miss America, but the burning of a cross will never be justified. Now is the time we should start looking ahead for a better tomorrow, and now is the time to let prejudice die. It is now time for us all to put our differences aside and walk together, hand in hand, as brothers and sisters. The future has yet to happen and whatever we make it is what it will be. I don't think that because we honor our heritage we should be put down, or

because a black has made good that crosses should be burned. Just because you burn a cross it won't stop us from honoring our black heritage. It won't stop us from going ahead with our goals and achieving what we can. Sherri Brown Letter to the Editor: "I don't understand why the black people in this country are so shocked by the recent cross burning ata local campus." That is how a letter in the Feb. 14 issue of The Vista starts. The author seemingly finds nothing wrong with crime and defamation of a symbol sacred to some. The author of the leter goes on to justify the crime because of reverse discrimination, such as the Miss Black America pageant, whereas there is no Miss White America. I have no qualms with the possibilities of reverse discrimination, but when do two wrongs make a right. But just for thought, let's count the number of Miss America contestants that happened to be black. I feel there shouldn't be any color restrictions, black or white, but the Miss Black America contest was created not to keep anyone out, but to allow young black women the chance to compete when they were barred from the Miss America contest. As far as the Black Heritage Week and financial aid for minorities, the author is partially correct. There shouldn't only be a Black Heritage Week, but one for the many varied cultures of peoples; such as the Germans, Nigerians, Italians, etc. To put all black people in one week is cramming it a bit. And if the author is looking for financial aid for whites, he can attend Langston where they have aid for the white minority students. The author of the letter said, "I have a dream too." I hope it is not to burn crosses in everyone's yard who he disagrees with. Travis Doolin

State,local, world news Mondale man to beat Democrats begin the process of picking their presidential candidate yesterday with former Vice President Walter F. Mondale looking for victory in Iowa's precinct caucuses—the start of the long trail to the nomination this summer in San Francisco. The candidates have all but wrapped up campaigning in the longest, most expensive exhibition season yet, as eight Democratic men fight for the right to challenge President Reagan in the fall elections. Reagan, who has no significant opposition for renomination, flew into the state for a brief visit yesterday designed to steal some of the thunder from the Democratic caucuses and fire up the GOP partisans going to their own caucuses last night. A poll by the Desmoines Register found Democrats likely to go to the caucuses giving Mondale 44 percent of their votes, far more than any other candidate.

Plane lands on freeway A pilot whose other choices were a golf course with very short links and hills speckled with trees, power lines and houses, safely landed his single-engine plane between clumps of traffic on a freeway near San Francisco, Calif. With some help from the motorists below, Jack Romansky set his bright yellow airplane down on eastbound Highway 24 near San Francisco Sunday afternoon as the plane's engine failed just 15 minutes after he took off from an airport in Hayward. He said the plane was traveling about 80 mph when it touched down. Except for some rubbernecking, traffic kept moving. But the unorthodox landing was a big attraction later in the afternoon, with curious people gathering to gawk as a two trucks pulled the 540-pound plane away from the freeway.

Mahre's sweep slalom Lifted by comeback twins Phil and Steve Mahre, the United States closed out the 14th Winter Olympics on a flag-waving high and an eye toward Calgary in 1988. The Mahre brothers' stunning 1-2 finish in the men's slalom kept the United States from suffering its lowest medals harvest in 20 years. Using walkie talkies to coach one another between runs, the 26-year-old twins from Yakima, Wash., gave the highly succesful U.S. Alpine team a crowning finish. The gold medal draped around Phil Mahre's neck for winning the men's slalom, however, still was only the second-best moment of his day. His wife gave birth in Arizona to a son just before he was making his first run down Mount Bjelasnica. He found out about it after he had won the gold, and walked away in tears. Phil's brother, Steve, took the silver, just .21 seconds off his brother's pace.

continued from page 1 the cabling business so they can't extend the cable into the building." "They sold AT&T the instumentation but not the cable." Williams said at the present he is trying to negotiate between the two companies for SW Bell to allow AT&T to utilize a portion of the cable that runs up to the building. Williams said one of the things that bothers him most about the problem is the implication for problems that may be encountered later. "What I am most concerned about is the inference for problems in the future," Williams

said. "What if we build new buildings and need to extend the cables. That is the implication that really has me worried. "That's why I am trying to get SW Bell and AT&T to work together now, because I am concerned about future growth and building new structures. I don't want to have the same problems." Williams explained that if it looked as though this kind of difficulty was to occur with any degree of regularity it would give added rational to considering an alternative phone system for the campus. An alternative solution Williams said they are considering is for CSU to run its own cable

across the campus from Murdaugh Hall to the health sciences center. "This would involve trenching all the way across campus, purchasing the cable and conduit and hiring techinicians to tie it into the switchboard," Williams said. "This could cost as much as $7,500. "If we are forced to get into the cabling business we might as well think about providing our own communication services at a lesser rate than it is now costing us. Williams explained that over the past couple of years CSU has considered purchasing its own phone system to replace the outdated system now in use.

Irving continued from page 1 university has since banned this project completly. Irving has speakers who are homosexuals, transvestites and May-December married couples. His human sexuality class teaches students, among other things, male and female anatomy, Irving said. Along with many very frank class discussions, Irving suggests various experiments which enable students to come to terms with their sexuality. Irving's classes fill quickly every semester. He has them work on papers, tests them and requires class participation, as many professors do. His classes are popular because he speaks frankly and delves deeply into subjects, many of which, pre-Irving, students had only discussed in whispers, if at all.

In his introduction to socioloy class, Irving reads a paper to his class written by a professor at a California university which says students are slaves to their professors. He does this to help students understand where they fall on the university hierarchy scale, he says. To reinforce his point, he delays returning the student's test papers until they demand to see their results. Irving said one class didn't receive their papers until the last week of classes. Irving received his BS in zoology at OSU, and a MS in family relations and child development. He received his Ph.D. in human ecology at the OU school of health. Irving has written many papers and publications. He has directed undergraduates with papers which

were accepted for presentation at the Southwestern Sociological Association. Between classes, students line up in his office to discuss problems, world developments or to just shoot the breeze. His method of teaching is dynamic and extremly informative, his students say. Outside of teaching, Irving has a love for antiques and the preservation of architectural structures. There was a time in his life when he became discouraged with teaching because,"there was no way out of the shrinking dollar," Irving said. Six years ago he started a business in his own home called Structural Antiques, Inc. Over the years the business grew and is now located elsewhere.

Because a home at Windrush Condominiums gives you far more than a place to live. It gives you a healthy lifestyle all your own, right outside your door. At Windrush, there are racquetball, tennis and volleyball ccurts to keep you in shape. The indoor swimming pool has a retractable cover — the first of its kind for a condominium in Oklahoma — to give you a real, natural, year-round tan. A Jacuzzi whirlpool will soothe tired muscles after jogging. An athletic director is on hand full time to help with exercise programs and lessons. And when you want to take it easy, there are slower paced enjoyments: an indoor driving range, walking paths on landscaped grounds, or the club house. Invest in a healthy life.

Marines retreat to ships National security adviser Robert McFarlane said Sunday that U.S. Marines have begun withdrawing from Beirut to ships off the coast of Lebanon. He said all the Marines would be aboard ships by 30 days from last Friday. The presidential adviser said American warships might continue shelling hostile shore positions as long as Americans are endangered. They will remain in the Mediterranean, he said. Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Arens said Israeli troops will remain in Lebanon as long as there is not a Lebanese government that can provide a credible commitment that it would prevent terrorist action against Israel from Southern Lebanon.

EDB: Did the ban come too late? By Mary Hier' The EDB, or ethylene dibromide, controversy is not something that arose overnight. Scientists have known about EDB's carcinogenic properties for 10 years. Consumers have been using it for 30 years. In 1975 the National Cancer Society warned that laboratory tests had established EDB as a potent carcinogenic. The Environmental Protection Agency was in favor of banning the use of EDB at this time, but the chemical industry said there

was insufficient proof EDB had an adverse effect on the environment. EDB is a major ingredient in 122 pesticide products. It is also used in leaded gasoline. Its major use is as a soil pesticide, which is pumped into the ground to kill destructive insects. Andrian Gross, EPA pathologist, said he believes anyone who has worked with EDB over any length of time is very much at risk for the development of cancer. He says EDB

WHOEVER THOUGHT WRITING COULD BE SO FINE?

should have been banned years ago. Olaf Leifson of the California Department of Food and Agriculture says, "Any amount is a risk. It's how much society wants to tolerate."

The EPA responded to the outcry by banning the use of EDB as a pesticide for grains, although declined to make a decision on its use in the citrus industry. This will stop the fumigant from getting into ground water.

The Oklahoma legistlature recently introduced legislation that would examine the contents of items on Oklahoma's grocery shelves in an attempt to identify and measure the amount of EDB coming into the state.

Adversity sometimes brings out the best in an athlete. Such is the case with Benny Coleman. Coleman, a 177 lb. wrestler for the Bronchos, came within just 30 seconds of capturing his second national championship last year. But what happened in those last seconds cost him the title. Coleman was three points up when his opponent scored on a takedown and near fall to gain five points, and with it, the championship. Coleman has not let that get him down this season as the senior from Choctaw has rolled up an impressive 30-3 overall record. He has also captured four tournament championships and is headed for his fourth straight AllAmerica season. Coleman also leads CSU in falls, collecting 17 for the season. He has also added an impressive three superior decisions to his record. Gaining falls is not essentially what Coleman tries to do each time he takes the mat. "I just go out to win, but when I do get a pin, it sure feels good. It just seems to work out that I'm able to get some falls," the softspoken Coleman said. David James, the Broncho's head coach, feels that Coleman's incident in the national tournament has made him a stronger wrestler this season.

Benny Coleman

"I think he has learned by the mistake last season. He's a winner, and winners are champions, and sometimes they learn from small details," James stated. Winning the national tournament his freshman year is Coleman's career highlight. "I was just trying to place in the tournament. I don't think I was even seeded that year, so it was a very big thrill," Coleman said. It is quite likely that Coleman will add a second NAIA National Championship to his collection. With the knowledge that he gained last season, don't be surpried if it's not even close.

Bronchos look for revenge By Jimmy Nickell Sports Edtor

said. Armstrong went on to say, "I'm really happy for Russell. He's worked very hard and deserves every honor he receives." Despite being out of contention for the district play-offs, Armsrong feels this game is also important for the future at CSU, and could carry over into next season. "If we could win this one, we'll have at least 10 wins for the season, and that's without having Kersgeiter for 16 games, so that is positive," Armstrong explained. Kersgeiter, the teams leading rebounder and second leading scorer, sat out much of the season due to a hand injure incurred during Christmas break. Armstrong feels that the key to defeating the Aggies is handling their half-court trapping defense and also hopes they can catch Cameron napping. "It's easy to be overconfident when you defeat a team so soundly as they did to us, so I'm hoping they will be overconfident when they come in here,"Armstrong said. Cameron comes into the contest with a 19-8 record, and are sitting in the seventh position in the latest Sempart standings. CSU is 9-18 overall, but the Bronchos are 6-5 at home, and rated twelfth in the Sempart ratings. The top eight schools in the Sempart standings at the end of the season will be eligible to play in the Ditrict Nine Play-offs.

The CSU men's basketball team will try to gain some revenge when they host Cameron Wednesday evening, in the Broncho Fieldhouse. Earlier this season, the Aggies overwhelmed CSU, 97-62, in Lawton. Despite that loss, head coach Buddy Armstrong feels that the Bronchos can play the role of the spoiler in an important District Nine game for Cameron. "In the first game, we didn't have Chuck Kersgeiter and plus, we're playing them at home this time," Armstrong explained. Armstrong went on to say, "we've been looking forward to this game for a long time. There would be nothing better than being able to pull off the upset."

Ward in a scrimmage game held last week. The Bronchos begin their regular season March 3.

In that first contest, CSU's Keith Russell scored a career high 32 points, but the Bronchos could not overcome the Aggies half-court trapping defense that eventually proved to be the difference. Russell, a sophomore guard, gained an individual honor earlier this week. The 5-foot-10-inch scoring machine was named to the second team, All-District Nine basketball squad and Coach Armstrong was very pleased with the selection. "Last season, we had no one selected, so we're making a step in the right direction," Armstrong
