Public service plan may help students By Laurel Anquoe Student Writer A new alternative for financing a college education may become available to students if the Citizenship and National Service Act of 1989 is passed in the United States Congress this year. Rep. Dave McCurdy, D-Okla., is the House sponsor of the bill that he said is intended to provide opportunities for young people to earn educational benefits through public service. Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., is the Senate sponsor of the bill. "The existing federal aid system is not working very well," McCurdy said. The Reagan administration has shifted the emphasis from grants and scholarships to loans in the federal aid system, he said. The

service proposal is designed to alleviate the loan program "that makes students indentured students who sometimes end up owing over $50,000," McCurdy said. Under the program, financial assistance would not be limited to tuition aid but could be applied to job training or purchase of a home. In return for community service in such areas as day care, conservation, mental hospitals, and nursing homes, a participant would receive a $10,000 voucher per year of service, up to 2 years, McCurdy said. A maximum voucher of $24,000 per year would be available for military service in the program. Please see Congress on page 8.

A resolution that urges the Oklahoma Legislature to define student activities and requires the establishment of a student activity fees committee comprised of at least 50 percent students for each member college was passed Saturday by the Oklahoma Student Government Association after nearly three hours deliberation in the Edmond Sheraton Ballroom. The measure was sent back to committee for re-wording following disagreement on the floor about who should share input with students on activity fee issues. Several of the larger school's delegates argued that leaving responsibility with the Legislature or state regents to define student

activities would not resolve the issue. "It would be defined (activities) but not opened to tell the students what the fees are spent for," said Felix Brown of the University of Oklahoma. Oklahoma State University's Jody Johnson said the state regents are no more informed about each school's student needs than the administrators. He urged delegates to work with their administrators for more student control. Gail Duerksen of Southwestern Oklahoma State disagreed. "We have tried to get that control (of activity fees). But we need a larger control standing behind us." Earlier in the day, the Student Advisory Board held a public hearing to discuss allocation

Fee usage raises concern By Bretta Barritt Student Writer Unhappy with the way activity fees are spent at Central State University, the Student Association is launching a campaign during Activity Fees Awareness Week (Feb. 20-24) to express student concerns about this procedure. The Student Association will distribute stickers around campus that say "It's My Money " and "I want R.U.M.M. (responsible use of my money)," said Jeff Shilling, Student Association parliamentarian. The association would like students to wear the stickers Feb. 22. The association recently sent a letter to all CSU student organizations regarding questions raised in the recent state auditor's report about activity fee expenditures for

events not benefitting the entire student body, Shilling said. Students pay $3.00 in activity fees for every credit hour they enroll in. The Student Association says this amounts to more than $800,000 a year. The association would like to increase the amount of input students have in the expenditure of these activity funds, Shilling said. CSU President Bill Lillard said in the Feb. 17 Daily Oklahoman that he's not willing to give up control of the money. "If I could figure out a way to delegate the responsibility (for activity fees) as well as the authority to spend them, then maybe I could do something. But, unfortunately, no matter who has the authority, the responsibility always comes back to the presi-

policy of student actitvity fees. The Board will present a proposal to the state regents in April about fee allocation, said Jeff Shilling, Student Advisory Board chairman. "The Chancellor is aware of the situation," Shilling said. "We would rather go through the Chancellor than the Legislature." Several student delegates expressed disgust at the way fee money is being allocated. Oklahoma City Community College spent student activity fees for construction of an olympicsized swimming pool for the 1989 U.S. Olympic Festival, said OCCC student delegate Richard Dressler. "If you want to have football, it ought to pay for itself," said Paul Dameron, a Northeastern Oklahoma State student upset

with athletic programs using fee money. "The whole idea of a student activity fee is to provide programs for the students," said Cameron's Paula Phillips. Other types of allocation are illegal, Phillips said. The Student Advisory Board also discussed the establishment of a paid full-time executive director position that would provide lobbying power for state schools plus an on-line computer system to access information from school to school. "This would unify the student governments and make us a force to be reckoned with," said OSGA director Craig Purser of OU. OSGA also passed resolutions requesting fire and safety inspecPlease see OSGA on page 8.

dent," Lillard said. To oversee the use of the funds, the association is proposing a committee composed of three faculty members, three students and three administrators, according to the article. The Oklahoman article also said Lillard indicated the creation of such a committee isn't likely. A 1987 random survey of more than 500 CSU students conducted by the Student Association indicated only 1.9 percent of the student body approved of the present system of allocating funds by the administration. According to the survey, many students (49.8%) supported the proposed committee. Also, the majority of students felt the athletic program was receiving excessive funding and not enough funds were allocated to student organizations, entertainment and educational programs. The association's letter to student organizations disclosed the 1986-87 CSU administration's report to the state regents included a budget of over $316,000 in one of the athletic accounts. The following year they reported spending $444,000 on that account, $128,000 more than budgeted. The letter said the association supports athletics, but not such "deceitful" overspending. Shilling said "We're not talking about a 'party budget'; we're talking about a budget that plays a major part in most all student programs. "It's hard to have a cooperative attitude when they (the administration) tell you they are budgeting 'x' number of dollars for a particular progam when in fact they are spending significantly more."

Do you feel that problems at the University of Oklahoma and problems with audits at other Oklahoma universities are having an effect on the quality of education?

"It has affected morale. Kids worry and parents worry. Something happens in some area, and it makes you wonder if it will happen in other areas. It has a snowball effect."

"There need to be safeguards in higher education universities, a system of checks and balances. OU has taken steps toward such a system. The state has to be accountable. It's good that the media keeps checks and balances and that people know what is going on."

"I think it has no effect on the quality of education. The problems do not trickle down from the hierarchy. Programs are being affected, not education. Anyone who wants an education can get that.

"If the funds are being absconded, then it affects the quality of the teacher because they can't pay better. The money is responsible for buildings and their upkeep. If classes have to be cut, students may end up going to other schools."

"No, I personally believe that the problems will not affect the quality of education. I have attended all three major schools in the state. They have all done a good job of providing for the student and instructors."

People need better phone manners By Darl DeVault Student Writer You have left a message on someone's answering machine and they call you back later. They proceed to talk to you like you had just hung up from having left that message. Do they inquire as to whether or not you are busy at the moment? Probably not.

Editorial Daily, my confidence in the decency of my fellow man is shattered. Many people have answering machines, allowing them to record calls, as well as screen calls. Why can't these same people, who evidently value their own privacy, ask if we are busy before launching into some longwinded explanation of why they weren't home and where they were? Didn't their parents teach them to value other peoples' time? Perhaps, like ethics, telephone etiquette is not taught formally, and we find very few good role models to learn from. After all, common decency and respect for others is a very subtle concept to teach in school. My generation can't seem to remember to identify themselves when they place a phone call. How can the "me" generation forget who they are? I don't know the answer to this one, but it is rude when people don't identify themselves until well in-

to the conversation. I don't have a great memory for voices, and after a few minutes I feel insulted. Rules of telephone etiquette for answering machine owners: Don't create stress by starting a fight you can not finish while on the phone. Don't start a discussion while you have the other party at a disadvantage. If something is required to bring the other person up to speed, mail it to them and then contact them again, after allowing ample time for the material to arrive. Watch your timing, the caller is polite enough to attempt communication with you on your terms, the use of an answering

machine, so be polite enough to think about what your return call may find your friend doing. If he made the call to you on a Wednesday, before you call back Saturday afternoon, try to remember he has a son who takes a nap about that time every weekend. Don't call back when you are angry. Take the time to cool down, remember the caller has had time to cool off or rethink his position. You can accomplish more by not being negative, and anger is a big negative. If anger is unavoidable, don't discuss how angry you are. Attempt to clarify the issues until you reach the issue which has you upset,

and then attempt to resolve the issue. Always show more tact than the other party, agree to disagree, getting the point across without making an enemy. Propose solutions or forget the call. Ask yourself, should you invade someone's privacy, simply to confront them with something they have no solution for? Since some time has elapsed since they have called you, don't be surprised if your return call is met with indifference, as a lot of things could have happened since the call was placed. Use common sense, and you can be known as a polite person, in spite of the fact you own a telephone answering machine.

Writer mad at The Vista To the editor: I have been misquoted and embarrassed by The Vista more than once. I don't appreciate it. Have any of your staff had journalism class? Do the "reporters" have any professional pride? One time, after the issue was already on the stand, a "reporter" asked me if his quote of me was correct. He wasn't sure. He did not even try to get in contact with me to find out what I had said before he printed his version. He just simply made a guess and printed it with my name on it. No, the quote was not correct! Who do The Vista "reporters" think they are? Every week this is printed on

the editorial page: Letters must also include the author's address and phone number for verification purposes. Oh, so you have heard of verification. Well, blow me over! I had a "Sweet Nothings" ad in The Vista for a friend of mine. It should have been called a Sweet Nothing add (sic) because it was edited to mean just that, Nothing. My friend's initials are VD. The ad read, "All I want for Valentine's Day is VD." It was edited to, "All I want for Valentine's Day is love." This completely changes the meaning. Although The Vista had my "number for verification", I was not called or given notice of the change. I

would have rather it not be printed at all in the revised form. I feel sorry for people whose initials don't measure up in the moral, little mind of whoever edited the ad. If this campus can't produce a responsible paper, the students would do better with a one-page newsletter with student activities printed on it. That would leave less room for misquotes and misrepresentation I see every time I pick up your paper. Does The Vista know the definition of the word fact? Look it up or come ask me. Then you can quote me on it. Jeanette Bernardy Editor's note: The Vista did not have a telephone number for verification.

Students offered Danish study tour By Kamal Mazian Staff Writer

OU is one several American, Canadian and Australian universities and colleges that act as coordinators for admission to the DIS program.

Central State University students interested in studying at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark during the 1989-90 academic year are encouraged to apply through the University of Oklahoma. Sophomore students can apply for Denmark's International Study Program, but they must be of junior or senior standing when the program begins. Danish professors will teach all coursework in the English language.

The program offers three separate curricula in liberal arts, international business studies and architecture and design studies. For either fall or spring semester, the comprehensive fee is $3,820 for liberal arts; $4,390 for international business studies; and $4,480 for architecture and design studies.

Symphony orchestra to perform tonight By Lori Aronson Student Writer The Central State University Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Roger W. Strong, will be heard at 8 p.m. tonight in Mitchell Hall. The orchestra, comprised of students, faculty and a graduate assistant, will perform a program that will last about an hour, Strong said. Three pieces will make up the first half of the program, starting with a solo for violin and orchestra entitled "Zigeurweisen" (Gypsy Airs) by Sarasate. The violin solo will be performed by Strong. The mellow "Adagio for

Strings" by Barber will be next and "Thunder and Lightning Polka" by Strauss will finish the half. The second half of the program will be Moszkowsky's "Spanish Dances Opus 12", a piece made up of five movements. The orchestra's next concert will be 8 p.m. May 2 in Mitchell Hall. This concert will feature Peggy Spence, piano soloist, in Bloch's "Concerto Grosso for String Orchestra and Piano." The cost of regular admission will be $3. CSU students with valid I.D.'s will be admitted free. Senior citizens and students from other schools will be given a dollar discount.

For a full year of study—fall and spring—the cost is $6,680 for liberal arts; $7,680 for international business studies; and $7,840 for architecture and design studies. Summer fee for architecture is $3,110. The fee includes full tuition; an intensive introductory Danish course; all field trips; study tours to western Denmark; all study

tours in the international business and architecture programs. Selection for admission to the DIS program is based on five criteria: intellectual curiosity, willingness to do serious work, personal maturity, academic competence and necessary formal prerequisites. Also required is a cumulative 3.0 or "B" grade point average.

The program offers scholarships from $200 to $900 per semester. Students may apply for work scholarships worth up to $300. March 15 is the deadline for applications. Qualified CSU students interested in applying or needing more information can contact Pat Wilson, OU study abroad adviser, at 325-1607.

Panel debates black issues By Jerry Pierce Managing Editor Institutions of higher education have "fallen short" in helping black students make the transition from high school to college, Dr. Clyde Jacob told students and faculty Wednesday in the Liberal Arts Auditorium. Jacob, vice president of academic affairs, was one of six participants in a panel discussion on blacks and higher education as part of Black Heritage Week. Jacob said the foremost issues facing black students on predominately white campuses are assimilating to a new environment and the lack of adequate support systems. "It's a very different, new environment in which they are expected to compete and excel in," Jacob said.

The panel discussion followed a video presentation, "Black by Popular Demand," produced by black students at Iowa State University to aid in providing solutions to existing Black problems on predominately white campuses. Stacy Stewart, a sophomore political science major, said a program is needed to tell high school students what to expect in college. Dr. Jere Roberson, professor of history and geography, called for a "fresh orientation program" for incoming black students to help ease the transition from high school to college. Students need to seek advise from faculty who are interested in the students on a personal level rather than depending solely on an adviser, Roberson said. Al Madrid, a senior political science major, said it is crucial

that upperclassmen take more responsibility to ensure that black underclassmen continue in the university. "Education in Oklahoma is not that great to start with. If the student is going to go on, upperclassmen need to support (underclassmen)," Madrid said. Roberson said he wants students to devote time to solving problems than dwelling on them. "This is from the 1960's, but: `If your not part of the solution, then your part of the problem."' Roberson said. Also participating on the panel were Tyler Davis, a student representitive of Langston University's Afro-American Alliance and Quantell Ferguson, junior business major and executive chairman of the Black Peer Center.

Spring Wellness Fair scheduled in March By Mary Wilcox Student Writer The health, physical education and recreation committee and the community service committee of the Faculty Senate are cosponsoring the Central State University Spring Wellness Fair 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. March 14 in the University Center Ballroom. Dr. Phil Ball, associate professor of health and physical education is heading the HPER committee and Dr. Lamona Evans, assistant professor of English, is heading the community service committee. Ball and Evans said the groups are attempting a joint venture to educate and make people more aware of their health. The community service cornmittee is attempting to increase off-campus interest and participa-

tion in the Wellness Fair, Evans said. "This is the first time anyone has tried to secure cornmunity commitment." Ball said the HPER Committee was finding outside groups for booths that would attract and appeal to the on-campus population. "The students, faculty and staff of CSU can benefit from the information and screening provided," Ball said. Groups from CSU and around the area will have booths with activities, brochures and representatives doing testing and screening. Groups participating at the Wellness Fair are: the Oklahoma Lung Association; the AIDS division of the Oklahoma State Department of Health; the Oklahoma Lupus Association; and the Sickle-Cell Anemia Clinic.

Degree options approved By Karl Knapp Student Writer The Central State University Academic Affairs Counsel approved last month two new degree options for next fall in the art and sociology departments, said Dr. Albert Lynd assistant vice president of academic affairs. The two options are photographic art and chemical dependancy, Lynd said. The student choosing these options will still receive an art or sociology degree but will have that option listed as the specialized field of study. "These additions have been encouraged by faculty and staff. They are responsive of student demands and we will use existing faculty for both programs," Lynd said. Dr. William Hommel, chairman of the art department said the photographic art option "will give the student more range for photographic opportunity in the journalism field." It will also incorporate photography with graphic design. Dr. Gene McBride, professor of sociology, was elated about the option. He said that the sociology department had received 25 to 30 letters from various organizations along with letters from students

inquiring about a sociology/chemical dependancy major. "We are excited about it (the

option), it's a timely thing right now with all of the concern about drugs and drug dependancy," McBride said.

Art museum to show watercolor paintings By Chris Dotson Student Writer Watercolor paintings will be on display March 5-29 in an exhibit titled, "Ellen Murray: Collection Series," at the Central State Unversity Museum of Art. "Ellen Murray combines great detail, along with a sense of humor," said William Wallo, director of the art department. "The viewer does not see the object, but sees the painting as a whole." "A premier watercolor artist,

(who) has many paintings that leave much to the imagination," Wailo said. "She displays inanimate objects, such as water guns, glasses, milk bottles, and even toy cows to put a bit of wit into her paintings." Murray, who was once an instructor in the art department at Oklahoma State University, started the collection series in 1984 and began taking them on tour in 1988. The exhibit will be brought to CSU by exhibits USA.

Thatcher relative visited by pair By Dyann Dolan

Student Writer Mary Bond, archivist at the Max Chambers Library, and former Central State University student Michael Fisher recently visited with what could be the last surviving relative of Richard Thatcher, the first president of the Oklahoma Territorial Normal School, now known as Central State University. Fisher began researching Thatcher in 1985 when he was a resident of Thatcher Hall. He proposed an interview with Mrs. Ann Davis, Thatcher's granddaughter, and they finally met on January 11 after Davis contacted Fisher and Bond. Both Davis and Fisher donated

materials relating to Thatcher, including information on the Y Chapel stained glass window, which was donated by Thatcher's grandchildren. Also donated were photographs and microfilm relating to Thatcher's service as a Union volunteer in the Civil War. Thatcher served as president of the university from the first day of classes on November 9, 1891, until failing health forced him to step down and become head of the mathematics department. Thatcher died November 7, 1909. Information on Thatcher and the university's upcoming centennial is available in the archives on the second floor of the library. Call Mary Bond ext. 2882.

Wrestlers collar Fort Hays Forfeits costly for Tigers, Bronchos up mark to 10-3 By Mike Sullivan

Sports Editor Central State's wrestling team took advantage of five Fort Hays forfeits on their way to a 43-6 victory over the injury-plagued Tigers Thursday in the Broncho Field House. Running their record to 10-3, CSU picked up forfeit victories at 134 pounds, 158, 177, 190 and heavyweight and dropped the 14th ranked Tigers to 1-5. The second-ranked Bronchos lost the opening match at 118, when Fort Hays All-America senior Billy Johnson defeated CSU All-America junior Shawn Fleming 9-3. Fort Hays also won at 126 when senior Greg Pfannenstiel decisioned Broncho senior Tony Pacheco 4-1. It was the last match the Tigers won, but their two victorious wrestlers picked up valuable points that eventually determine the seeds at the NAIA National Championships March 2-4 in Jamestown, N.D. "The wrestlers they brought did awfully well for them," said

Broncho wrestling coach David James. "And it's important to wrestle well this time of year for seeding purposes at the upcoming tournament." Broncho senior Marc Hull, won his 12th straight match with the lone fall of the evening at 142, running his record to 17-1-1. Hull, a former national champion at Fort Hays before transferring to CSU, pinned freshman Darby Brown at 1:27 of the second period. "They came in here kind of tentative," Hull said. "It's hard to wrestle against someone when they're apprehensive." Junior Andy Howington 150, and freshman Howard Moore 167, decisioned their Fort Hays opponents in the only other nonforfeit matches of the evening. "All those forfeits got me out of tempo, but I'm not wrestling," James said. "Their leg work gave us problems also. When you can't get up you can't score," James added. "Many of the teams we'll see at the tournament will be using their legs, so we're gonna have to get stronger there."

Balanced attack trips Lion cagers By Randy Andersdon

Student Writer Central State men's basketball team held off East Texas State 77-71 Saturday night in the Broncho Field House. The Lions, now 4-8 in conference play and 12-12 overall, were held under their conferenceleading average of 88 points per game. CSU got on the board first when Scott Streller sank the first two free throws of the game. East Texas, led by conference-leading scorer Bennett Fields, then mounted an attack that gave the Lions an 11-point lead. The Bronchos battled back to cut the lead to three points when Streller fired a three-point bomb with 1:20 left in the first half. With only 15 seconds left, junior Kelvin McCain nailed one of his three three-pointers and at halftime CSU trailed 37-36. In the second half, the Lions

quickly ran up an eight-point lead. Freshman Scott de la Garza and senior Eric Roumph kept CSU close with an aerial show of three-pointers. Roumph nailed back-to-back bombs and put CSU on top for only the second time in the contest. The Bronchos, who lead the nation in three-pointers, racked up 12 of the long rangers, five of which came from Roumph. With time running out, junior Kelvin McCain put the game out of reach with a 10-foot jumper that gave the Bronchos a seven point lead. "We had to shut down Fields and Knorr," CSU coach Jim Seward said. "They can score a lot of points in a hurry if you don't stay on top of them." The Bronchos will be in action again at 8 p.m. Thursday in the Broncho Field House against the fifth-ranked Oklahoma Christian College Eagles.

Softball team ready to go All-American pitcher graduated

By Andrew Smith Student Writer

Kelly Powell

Central State softball coach Gerry Pinkston hopes to repeat as District 9 Champion this season, one of many goals she has set for her team that finished last season ranked fifth in the nation. Pinkston will rely on youth this season as the Lady Bronchos try to improve on last year's record of 22-13. "We lost our All-American pitcher Gladys Griffin and our starting shortstop," Pinkston said. "But seven players return this season and we recruited four new players." New recruits include freshmen

utility player Kathy Eddy from Yukon, Kelly Powell, an all-state pitcher from Chickasha, and Rachael Testerman a catcher from Broken Arrow. Power pitcher Jacquie Stephens of Calgary, Canada has been recruited in efforts of filling the hole Griffin's graduation left, but has had knee problems in the past. "Her pitching will totally depend on her knee, Pinkston said of Stephens. "She has been practicing every day without any problems so far." Lady Bronchos senior Jane Kajs, the lone returning pitcher, will share pitching duties with the two incoming freshmen.

The recent cold spell has not been advantageous for the team as they have been forced to practice indoor. "At least all the other teams in the district are rained out too," Pinkton said. "And we're in a tough district," Pinkston added. The winner of the District 9 will advance to the Bi-District in Kansas, with the winner of that advancing to nationals. The Broncho softball team will kick off its season opener with a scrimmage against Oklahoma State on Friday, Feb. 24 in Stillwater.

Central State men's and women's basketball teams will play their last home game of the season Thursday when they host Oklahoma Christian College in the Bronco Field House. OCC, ranked fifth in the nation in NAIA, brings quite a few crazy fans with them, meaning a good turnout from CSU fans would make for a wild game. Playing their last home game for the Lady Bronchos will be: forwards Willie Crawford and Jill Smith, and guards Dia Snyder and Tina Smith. Forwards Scott Streller and Scott Moody, along with guard Eric Roumph will be making their last home appearance for the Bronchos.

Four bands to tour, play at state schools Four bands from Central State University will perform in the annual CSU spring tour, said Dr. Ron Howell, assistant professor of music. The Civilized Tribe, a Dixieland jazz band, the Brass Quintet, the Symphonic Band and the Wind Ensemble will kick off the tour on Wednesday, with performances at Yukon and Choctaw high schools. On Thursday, the bands will perform at Miami and Grove high schools.

The final leg of the tour is at Sapulpa and Okmulgee high schools on Friday. "We use the tour primarily as a recruiting venture. But it also serves as an opportunity to polish our music," said Howell. During the tour, the Symphonic Band will perform "Gershwin!" a medley of the composer's tunes, arranged by Warren Barker; "Rejouissance" by James Curnow; and a John Philip Sousa march song, "The Thunderer," Howell said. • •

Professor designing sets, lights for plays By Bradley Kimbler

Student Writer Matthew H. Aston, assistant professor in the oral communication department, is overseeing the design of two sets, two lighting arrangements and the casting of one play, all for two upcoming presentations. "The Glass Mengerie" and "We the People of Liberty Tavern," an original play, will be presented the first weekend of March in Mitchell Hall and the Pegasus Theatre, respectively. Aston, who is in his second semester, came to Central State University from Dallas, where he

was part owner of a studio that painted and rented backdrops and sets to advertising agencies for commerical work. Aston also has worked on a number of films as a scenic artist, including "Talk Radio" and the Disney Channel's "011ie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss." Aston came to CSU for the opportunity to do theater, which in his words is "more rewarding than painting some backdrops." In the 1988 American Theatre College Festival, Aston was presented the Region IV's Award for Excellence in Set Design for "Zalmen or Madness of God."

Congress Continued from page 1 LeeAnn Alexander, McCurdy's legislative assistant, said the service program placements would function like regular jobs. She said the program is targeting the average student that would live at home and could then live on the subsistence wage of $100 per week the program would pay. Other students such as those with physical handicaps or those who have dependents would be

exceptions and could still apply for federal grants and loans, Alexander said. Because the program requires up to two years of community service before enrollment, students must be dedicated to getting an education. States would share the administrative costs of the program and organize the local community service councils and application and placement procedures, she said.

OSGA Continued from page 1 tions of all state owned and operated buildings, including dormitories; approved a resolution suggesting national service as a substitute for government student aid without cutting it; passed a

resolution for staff development guidelines; passed a resolution calling for state-wide standardized curricula in English and math and' passed a resolution recommending establishment of on-campus child-care facilities.
