Sack lunch proposal passes By Jon Powell
a
Student Writer A resolution allowing students with conflicting class or work schedules to receive sack lunches from the cafeterias was passed by the student senate Monday. The resolution would also give credit for paid meals students missed due to schedule conflicts with the cafeteria meals. The student senate also withdrew, pending further research, a resolution recommending: the current housing contract treat students of legal age, 18, as adults; adult students would not need a parent or guardian's signature on the housing contract; permit housing to contact parents or guardians in cases of
disciplinary action or payment delinquency only when the parent or guardian has signed the contract; and calling for the revocation of the policy requiring students aged 18 to 23 to live on campus. Student Association President Jeff Shilling vetoed a resolution, authored by Senator Roger Acebo, restricting the Student Association from using their computer without permission from the Student Association secretary. "I believe the Student Association is comprised of responsible adults," Shilling said. Shilling also remanded a resolution allowing students the option of a no meal plan in their housing contract.
A resolution that would have stripped Executive and Judiciary officers from the priviledge of speaking in the student senate failed. Shilling also vetoed a resolution that would have taken the student senators away from the senate office. The student senators would, instead, be required to serve an hour in their respective colleges promoting the student senate. The student senate unanimously passed a resolution requiring the tuition computer printout to state the amount the student is paying toward the activity fee. "This added itemization would allow students more knowledge into where their money is going," the resolution stated.
Director says band's loss not fair By Lisa Moak
Student Writer In the past few years a dixieland band from CSU has either won or placed in the National Southern Cornfort Dixieland Band Competition. This year, the Red River Ramblers were one of the top three bands in the country to make it to the finals in Atlanta, Ga. After weeks and hours of rehearsals, The Red River Ramblers lost to a band from Florida, the Gatorstompers. Dwight Littleford, tuba player in The Ramblers, said, "We were the better band. It was a music contest, not a show contest." Lee Rucker, director of The Ramblers, said, "From a pure listening stand point, we were the better band. The musical integrity of the contest was not as important as it should have been." Rucker said he was approached by members of the National Association of Jazz Educators and was told The Ramblers were the better band, but they didn't win because The Civilized Tribe, also from CSU, had won the year before. "They (The Gatorstompers) were very entertaining. They used more humor to grab the audience," Rucker said. Kent Kidwell, director of CSU bands, also agreed with Rucker that The Ramblers were kept from winning.
"A Central State dixieland band has won twice and been in the finals twice," Kidwell said. "At that level of competition, if all the bands are close, they tend to pass it around. "I felt our guys had the best performance musically. The band that won was more entertaining, but didn't play as well." Both directors agreed the format of the contest might have had something to do with the outcome. The Ramblers performed first, and the Gatorstompers last. Rucker said there were Southern Comfort officials in the room where the judges were deliberating, and one of the judges admitted he thought The Ramblers were the better band. Kidwell said in his six years of attending the competition, he noticed the judges only took ten to fifteen minutes to decide the winning band. This year, he said, it took an hour to decide. Liz Rytel, one of the Southern Comfort officials, could not be reached for comment. Kidwell said, "If they (The Ramblers) go to the finals, they've won anyway. They get $250 in scholarships each and a free trip to Atlanta, plus room and board. "The main difference in winning and not is the touring opportunities. I look upon this more positively, as a learning experience."
Photo contest to rate student works By Deborah Merle
Student Writer Students will have a chance to enter their photographs for professional judgment and publication. Oklahoma Photography Society will sponsor a photo contest through March 31 for all CSU students. Contestants can enter in two categories: black and white and color. Each category is divided into sports (action or feature), people, scenic and open topics. Students can submit only two en-
tries of 8 inch by 10 inch unmounted prints in each category. Photographs must be submitted by March 31 in the journalism office, Communications Building room 210. "The theme is 'College Life' and must be shot on campus. Any student may enter the contest," said Kim Legako, president of OPS. Prizes will consist of eight first, second and third honors. The list of winners will be posted in the journalism office on April 13. All first prize winning photos will be
printed in the April 14 issue of and all winning photographs will be displayed in the University Center. Professional photographers will judge the contest, Legako said. Entries should be submitted in a manilla envelope with the student's name, address and phone number and the photo category on the front of envelope. Contest rules and regulations sheets will be posted in the Communications and Liberal Arts Building and the University Center. The Vista,

Chief says bomb threat only 'costly' prank call By J. Burst
Student Writer A phone call claiming a bomb had been placed in the Business Building Thursday was a false alarm. Mary Lee Smith, Campus Police dispatcher, was on duty when the call came in at approximately 10:15 a.m. The caller said a bomb had been placed in the Business Building and was set to go off at 11 a.m. Smith said the caller sounded like a male with a foreign accent. The information was given to Bob Roberts, chief of the Central State Police, who contacted Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs and Sharon Breslick, secretary to the dean of the business department. Breslick said Roberts told her to keep quite, remain calm and not to do anything until the alarm sounded for the evacuation at 10:45 a.m. Roberts then called the Edmond Police bomb squad to assist in the search of the Business Building and the Business Building Annex, as the caller did not specify which building the bomb was in. All classrooms and offices were searched before the evacuation, but nothing was found. The two buildings were emptied and the doors locked so that a thorough search could be made, Roberts said. The fire department was on hand and onlookers stood around the buildings until the search was completed. The buildings were reopened at approximately 11:20 a.m. "A bomb threat received by our department is taken seriously," Roberts said. He speculated the caller was probably a student, someone emotionally immature who has difficulty with school work. Roberts said prank calls such as this are costly to the school and disrupt classes. "Most students come here for an education and they don't like to be placed in this kind of situation," he added.

Opinion Page Relationships prove misery loves com an By Shae Naro What is a relationship? Interaction between two people? Webster's defines a relationship as, "the state or character of being related or interrelated, a specific instance or type of kinship, a state of affairs existing between those having relations or dealings." What does that mean? I was once told thinking about someone is considered a relationship. Everyone one sees and thinks about during the day, he/she is having a relationship with. The relationships one doesn't know he/she is having are probably the best ones. There is no actual human interaction, expectations are not subject to defeat. One can expect anything, the relationship in the mind is his/hers, nobody can say anything about it. There is no fighting or guilt.
If people want to have a relationship with somebody new everyday, they can, without worrying about being caught. So why do people bring these relationships out? Why act on the way they feel? Because it is human nature to want to be miserable. Commentary Please don't get me wrong, I would love to have a working relationship. Yet there is no such thing as a working relationship. Somebody in the situation never says what they want, and always end up dissatisfied or resentful. Life is too short to be miserable. There is somebody for everybody, I really believe that. The only thing is someone must go through dozens of partners to find the right person. If they do not go through the multitudes, how
would they know what they want? I know people who won't tell their partner the truth because they are afraid to make them mad. Fighting is healthy. If people cannot be honest with their partner, who can they be honest with?
somebody and then met somebody they thought for sure was "the one?" Another thing I don't understand is all the messing around people do to each other. If someone wants something else, why not just say goodbye? Because if after the quest things don't work out with this person, someone is on the backburner? This is a sick game that gets played more often than Saturday football, and at the expense of others.
How many times have people found themselves involved before they knew what was going on? How many times have they woken up next to the same person for a month and realized they have nothing in common? How many times have they walked around for months wondering how to tell someone it was over, only to have that person leave a note on the icebox saying the same thing?
Like I said, relationships are a very abstract principle, an agreement between two people to exist together. Until one of them gets tired of the other. Habit is a p000r excuse for people staying together.
Relationships are a complex thing. Nobody can figure them out. How many times have people been with
So what is a relationship? I think people need relationships to live. Human nature loves misery.
Television: society's 'plug-in drug' By Jon Powell Student Writer Is television the new opiate of the masses? Television can be informative and entertaining, but the programs and time spent watching them should be chosen carefully. Too much television and a person can become addicted to the plug-in-drug as easily as to any controlled substance. When it comes to watching television, the average person will watch between three and eight hours a day. Someone virtually wastes this time by spending it sitting in front of the plug-

Student thankful after surviving wreck To the editor: I would like to thank all of my friends and my teachers here at Central State for their prayers and concerns after I had my car wreck. I am not really feeling 100 percent better yet, but I wanted to return to Central State as quickly as possible. The main reason I wanted to come back is the people here at CSU. I really love everyone here. I want to give my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the credit for saving me from death in my wreck.
I realize now I was spared for a purpose. The day of my wreck I had gone out for lunch and was reading my bible before I went over to check on a job at the Board of Education office on S. Rankin Street. I was making a left hand turn when I was hit by the Edmond Patrol Car. All I remember was crawling out of my car and waking up in the Emergency Room at Edmond Memorial. I was in the hospital for about eight days and then I rested at
home for about nine days. When I saw my car I knew that God had watched over me. What really made me think was what I found crammed in the twisted metal next to where I had been. It was my Bible. I think it was more than a coincidence. It's really good to be back at school. I'm really thankful to be at a school where people really care! Thanks. Terry A. Chesser
Dimension News: World, state and local Syria takes charge in Lebanon A top Syrian officer warned his troops would show no mercy during a military move designed to bring the fighting in West Beirut to an end. The force advanced into the Moslem sector on Sunday after fighting in the area had killed more than 300 people in one week. Druze and Shiite gunman vanished as Syrian troops rolled into sectors of the city to set up buffer zones separating rival factions in the area. The intervention by the Syrian force, estimated at 4,000, was requested by Druze leader Walid Jumblatt and other Moslem leaders after meetings between them were held in Damascus, Syria. Israel is not expected to take any action against the invading force, though an Israeli spokesman said the move was unjustified because Lebanon's President Amin Gemayel didn't approve the Syrian invasion.
Pop artist dies of heart attack The leader of the pop art movement, Andy Warhol, died Sunday from a heart attack suffered after a gall bladder operation. Warhol won fame by recording images during the 1960's of common place items while working in underground film. He is remembered for saying "Every one will be famous for 15 minutes." Warhol abandoned his successful career as a commercial illustrator in the 1950s to become the principal leader of the pop art movement. It is believed he was 58 years old, but a descrepancy concerning his date of birth exists and was never cleared up by Warhol.
Talk show host found dead One of the first and most controversial talk show hosts on television was found dead in his Manhattan hotel room Sunday. Police said David Susskind, a former talent agent, was found lying on the floor of his room at the Windham Hotel Sunday afternoon by a maid. Susskind was to have entered the Lenox Hill Hospital Monday to see a heart specialist. Susskind was best known as an interviewer, but was a successful film and theater producer.
Deer Creek opposes annexation Deer Creek residents, organized as Deer Creek Area Concerned Citizens Against Annexation, have filed a lawsuit appealing the annexation of the Deer Creek area by Oklahoma City. The suit filed by the group seeks to nullify six emergency ordinances passed by Oklahoma City designed to annex areas west and north of Edmond. Residents organized to fight the annexation as soon as they were aware it had been made, which compelled the Oklahoma City city council to de-annex 31 and a half miles of the original 58 miles annexed. The Oklahoma City Community Developement Director, Pat Downes, said the city decided to annex the area to protect two water treatment facilities and a water line owned by the city. Oklahoma City was ordered to build the water line after Guthrie charged the city with polluting its secondary water supply, Cottonwood Creek.
Local youths form task force Adults and youths alike have banded together in the Edmond area to form the Edmond Task Force for Youth. The task force was formed to help battle serious teen problems. The group is composed of five regional committees to handle various categories of teen problems, to include teen court, action/teen center, peer counseling, parent support/education and human sexuality. The program counselor, Carolyn Baker, said the program has received overwhelming support from the community.

Smoking ban? Ban would violate rights To the editor:
In response to Martha Giglio's article about proposing a smoking ban on campus, I have a few things I would like to say. It seems in all her high and mightiness, Giglio has decided she is the judge, jury and executioner, or at least represents the views there of. Giglio has taken it upon herself to decide what a "right" is, whether this is an issue of rights, who should have them and where they end. Regulation is one thing, but bans are another. I am certainly glad you aren't allowed to impose laws or decide for all of us what
constitutes an issue of rights. Anyone who has their "hallmarks" and "rights" as confused as Giglio does is going to be a real terror when they reach voting age. This country was founded on a constitution guaranteeing everyone rights. That includes smokers as well as non-smokers. Just because Giglio doesn't like something doesn't mean she can abolish it, along with the rights of the offending party. If Giglio wants this university to have a "hallmark," there are certainly better ways to obtain one than taking away the rights of some on this campus.
I don't feel the issue matters. What does is that she is talking about taking rights away from some and not others, which is totally against the principle our country is run on. When Giglio decides to take the rights of some away to benefit others, she will have a fight on her hands that will never end. She shouldn't start deciding what constitutes an issue of rights until she educates herself better on what rights are. She is a good example of the type of selfish, dictitorial mentalities our constitution protects us from. Thomas Myers
'Nazi-like actions opposed To the editor:
The winner of the monthly Full Moon Award is a split decision between John Buttry and Martha Giglio. Buttry has already been answered by J. Money, so I would like to take this opportunity to answer Giglio. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop is a fanatic non-smoker who takes every single speculation and unfounded rumor about the dangers of smoking to heart, and uses it for another plank in his platform for halting the use of tobacco. A university, as an institution of enlightenment and not as a base camp for witch hunts, is responsible for presenting the best evidence available to its students. I've kept close tabs on this alleged "evidence" concerning passive smoking, and my research has shown that it is harmful to
children of less than four years of age. Every student in this school whom I have met has passed this criteria. You are complaining of a matter of personal preference. You are a classic case of one who can't see the forest because the trees keep getting in your way. You would wiser complain of the automobiles or manufacturers who pollute the air. My cigarette, next to your car, is nothing. A cheap perfume is tenfold more offensive to me than my cigarette is to you, yet if your rights stopped where mine began you would wear it no more. But in real life our respective rights far exceed the limitations of our neighbors. I have been, in recent years, condemned to a status of a lower life form because you and others like you object to my personal habit. I understood and tolerated the
law banning smoking on elevators, because as a reasonable human being I was aware that a four foot square cubicle is a confined space and that the misery I might cause in others was not worth the pleasure of a cigarette. But you are going too far. I have yet to see a building on this campus that wasn't drafty enough to hang glide in. Even in the periods when I don't smoke I am not bothered by what smoke that does linger in the hallways. I would like to paraphrase if I may. Students and faculty would be forced to quit smoking by your policies. This would surely send a strong and clear message that CSU enacts feeble-minded, hysterical policies based on whatever is the fad at the time. Isn't that the cornerstone of Nazi-ism? Mark Pfeifer
Smokers save U.S. economy To the editor:
Something happened to me the other day that seems to be a common occurrence. It's not that this was an isolated incident, but this disgusting practice appears to be gaining social acceptance, and it annoys me to no end. I was in a local restaurant, enjoying my morning coffee, cigarette and newspaper when a most indescribably rude person plopped herself down in the booth next to mine and began eating while I was trying to enjoy my cigarette! It makes me faint o recall the revulsion that swept over me. She sat there glowering over her eggs and toast, chewing and smacking while systematically placing more food in her mouth. Being the tolerant soul that I am, I buried myself in my newspaper and tried my best to ignore this offensive creature, but alas, she would have none of that from me.
Even before she began trying to gain my attention, I could feel her eyes burning through my paper. After several throat clearings and a couple of table rappings with her silverware, I lowered my paper to see what she could possibly want from me. Apparently not being content with just sitting there making animal noises over her food, she asked me to extinguish my cigarette! How anyone can live to adulthood and remain so rude is beyond me! I was relieved to see restaurants divided into smoking and nonsmoking sections. I prefer that offensive beings, such as the woman I mentioned, be kept as far away from me as possible so that I can smoke in a somewhat peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. I have noticed these rude people quite often tend to drag their offspring with them. Many of these people, in asking me to put out my cigarette, use the pretense of
not wanting their children's lungs to be poisoned. I say, if these children are just going to grow up to be as rude as their parents, let's get them while they're young! People have been using tobacco for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. The economy of our own country, in its early years, was to a large extent based on the tobacco industry. Thousands of people's careers, including many doctors, depend on the consumption of tobacco. When you ask me to snuff my butt, remember if many of us smokers were to comply with your selfish request, the results would be wide spread unemployment in tobacco producing regions and medical communities. So, when you see me light up, think not of me as a source of irritation, but as a true American, doing what little he can to provide jobs in an unstable economy. Kevin Hunter

Chamber singers present romance Romantic music will be the feature of The Chamber Singers concert, 8 p.m. Thursday in the Choral room of the Music building. "This concert will be delightfully entertaining," according to Pamela Green, director. "In keeping with the February tradition, all of the music is romantic in nature. We have chosen light classics that are musically challenging, but absolutely entertaining. "There are excerpts from the "Merry Widow," Strauss waltzes, English and American madrigals and some unusual comic pieces. One of the most unique and beautiful works, the "Love Song Waltzes," by Johannes Brahms, is performed with two-piano accompaniments. "These accompaniments are quite challenging, and can actually be performed minus the singers. Brahms was such a marvelous pianist that he composed these waltzes with this in mind. Peggy Spence, well-known teacher and accompanist, will play the primo piano part." The twenty-one members of the Chamber Singers are chosen by audition from the student body at large. Most are music majors preparing for performance or teaching careers, but we do have singers from other majors, said Green. Members of the Chamber Singers are: Tamara Boyanton, Heather Cormack, Debra Rider, Peggy LaMascus, Sally Hinkefent, Staci Lisman and Kris DeYoe. Also included are: Emily Payne, Deborah Howland, Reida Mayfield, Shawn Witcher, Amy Brewer, Craig Poos, Bart Phillips, John Weissert, Mark Powell, Cliff Strong, Katsumi Hagiwara, Chong Keoh, Ken Warren and David Chambers. The concert is free, but seating is limited. For more information contact the music department at 341-2980.

Office helps students 'file' for iobs By C.K. Abbas The job placement office on campus offers students information about potential employers, interview schedules and the opportunity to keep files available for companies to review. The office is located in room 312 of the University Center. To begin a file, students must request an information sheet, which will clearly define instructions. Each file contains a personal data sheet comparable to a resume and four recommendation forms which professors, previous employers and connections in the business world can fill out for students. Both open and confidential files are available; however, the con-
fidential file is recommended by the placement office. If students use the confidential file, they are not allowed to view the recommendations. "Employers appreciate the confidential files more as they may be more accurate and honest than a file censored by the student," said Kent Todd, assistant director of the placement office. Companies both in and out of Oklahoma utilize the service. Many firms call CSU to check the status of upcoming graduates, while others are invited by the placement office. Students interested in jobs not involved with the placement office may request to have their files sent to specific companies.
The placement office also posts interview schedules at 100 places on campus. Students can register through the office and set up appointments with companies. Todd emphasized the service is not an employment agency and can make no guarantees. "The economy is dictating what jobs are available. Accountants, computer scientists and management trainees are enjoying the highest demand right now; however, it can do nothing but good to keep a file on hand no matter what your field of study is," said Todd. Any CSU student or alum may use the service; however, it is best utilized during the semester before graduation, Todd said.
Music... "The Beggar's Opera", will be presented by The University of Oklahoma Schools of Drama and Music at 8:15 p.m. Thursday and Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday at Rupel Jones Theater. For reservations call 325-1467. Chicago will perform 8 p.m. Saturday in the Lloyd Noble Center. Tickets available at all OK ticket outlets or by calling 948-6800.

Lebanon civil war explained By J. Money
Publication readers and television viewers are exposed to a several news stories concerning Lebanon. Even with all the media coverage, many people may not understand the situation in the small country located on the east shore of the Mediterranean. Lebanon is bordered on the north and east by Syria and on the south by Israel. The country's geographical location has created many of its problems. Lebanon was part of Syria for many centuries, achieving independence in 1945 after a long chain of events beginning in the 19th century. During that period, Syria was part of the Turkish Empire.
Turkey expanded the country, including one section called the Sanjak, which was predominantly Christian. When the Turkish Empire was defeated during World War I, France assumed control of Syria with the objective of tutoring it to independence. One of the first things France did was separate the Sanjak region of Syria into what is now known as Lebanon. France's initial reason to separate Syria and Lebanon was to create a Christian country in the region. France; however, made the country large enough to include a substantial Muslim minority. At the time Lebanon gained independence, the majority of people were Christians, yet the
Muslim minority soon grew to outnumber them. There have been many charges of civil rights violations from the Muslim minority, saying the Marionite Christians had the best government jobs and dominated the business community. Syrian officials believe they should have the dominant voice in Lebanon, and have a real interest in the country's annexation. Israeli officials, in their quest to have secure boundries, have occupied a small strip of land in southern Lebanon. While Israel and Syria have been jockeying for position in and around Lebanon, various religious factions composed of minority groups have been waging a war among themselves for control of the country. The government barely controls the capitol itself, much less the country as a whole. Before control was lost, the president of the country had to be Maronite Christian, the prime minister had to be Sunni Muslim and the president of the chamber of deputies (parliament) had to be a Shiite Muslim. The United States and other capitalist countries invested time and money into the country after World War II, and it is generally believed these countries were primarily responsible for the political actions of the government. Many of the religious factions — composed of groups that can form and dissolve almost overnight, and always have a political goal — have found it advantageous to use extreme actions to
1975 Nobel prize recipient to discuss genetic research From Staff Reports Nobel Prize winner and microbiologist David Baltimore will discuss ethical questions during a free, public lecture entitled "Exploitation of Life: A Human Right?." The lecture will be 7:30 p.m. Thursday in room 200 of Dale Hall, 455 W. Lindsey, on the campus . of the University of Oklahoma. Baltimore will visit Oklahoma to lead a five day ScholarLeadership Enrichment Program seminar Wednesday through
March 1 on the OU campus. The program, sponsored by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, is designed to bring the state's brightest college and university students in contact with nationally renowned scholars and leaders. Baltimore's segment of the five day seminar will deal with ethical questions raised by genetic technologies. His research explores DNA, the substance that encodes genetic information in the cell nucleus. Baltimore is the director of the

Thespian experiences 'dual' roles By Cheryl Burget
Dual roles are nothing new for freshman actor Cliff Strong. Off stage, 30-year-old Strong plays the role of both husband and father. Audiences will see Strong portray a dual role on-stage as the characters Hennesey and The Captain in the musical comedy, "Dames At Sea," to open 8 p.m. March 6 in Mitchell Hall Theater. "I believe it (the play) will be an
inspiration for other students," Strong said. Strong has performed in various theatrical and vocal music productions. His musical performances include "Fiddler on the Roof" and "The Greatest Story Ever Told." His vocal talent has enabled him to record gospel music and perform in concerts and musicals. He is the choir director at the First Baptist Church in Guthrie.
Although his childhood dream was to someday si 6n with Metro Goldwyn Mayer and perform in musical theatre, Strong said he realizes the importance of his education. "I feel as if I've missed out on several career opportunities because I didn't have an education," said Strong. After graduation, he said he hopes to pursue a career in the performing arts and someday attend law school.
publicize their goals. Dr. John George, political science professor, said the groups probably turned to radical actions to obtain goals more conventional methods had failed to get. Kidnapping has been one of the radical actions used, and is increasing, as 11 foreigners in the country were abducted during the month of January. Bombings by one group in another group's section of the capitol city or country often attract retaliatory bombings, taking a toll on civilian lives. George also said these radical actions, or terrorism, have one thing in common, they always involve non-combatants and exploit them for an advantage over other groups. After the breakdown, both the United States and Syria have played major roles in trying to restore peace, but have met with little success, George said. "I think the United States has done more good than harm in the region," said George. Terrorists have found it advantageous to kidnap as many foreigners as necessary to try and achieve their political goals. Many of these abducted foreigners were warned by their respective countries not go to Lebanon because of the violent political situation. George said the reason this country, as well as others, negotiate with terrorists is a humanitarian outlook on life, and that this country isn't inhumane. A stronger reason than humanity, George explained, is that religious/political groups in
Lebanon can form and disband almost overnight. Sometimes it is hard to identify who the abducters are, and almost always it is difficult to know where they are, George said. "If we knew who they were and where they were, we could launch surgical strikes into the country," George said. "Even sometimes when we think we are sure, we aren't. "For example, we launched a strike against Lybia for a bombing in West Germany that this country was reasonably sure Lybia was responsible for. Since that time, we have learned that in fact Syria could have been the responsible party. We just can't always tell who is responsible for something," said George. George said he maintains the problem of knowing who and where to strike as well as possible damage to world relations were the two major factors England considered before turning down the United State's request for helping with an armed strike into Lebanon. George said, "I feel the two most important things that need to be done to get the Middle East back on the road to peace involve Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization. "First, the PLO needs to recognize Israel and its right to exist in secure boundries. Second, Israel needs to withdraw to its original boundries before the defensive war of 1967," said George. Those two objectives are being worked on, but how soon they are obtained, no one really can say.

Regents OK dismissal of Armstrong By John Helsley Sports Editor After weeks of speculation, the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges and Universities Friday approved the recommendation of CSU president, Dr. Bill Lillard, not to renew the contract of Buddy Armstrong as men's basketball coach for the 1987-88 academic year. CSU will begin immediately searching for a replacement with hopes of naming a new coach at the next regularly scheduled Regents meeting on March 20. "I made the recommendation to the president in the best interest of the university," said Skip Wagnon, CSU athletic director. Wagnon would not elaborate on the factors involved in the decision. "We are going to accept applications for the position until noon March 4," Wagnon said. "A screening committee will begin immediately that afternoon." Wagnon said any names mentioned as possible frontrunners for the position are "pure speculation." Wagnon notified Armstrong of the decision in a private meeting between the two on Jan. 20. "It was a complete surprise to me," Armstrong said. "I thought there had been good progress during my first four years as coach. These last eight games, when I was coaching in a lame-duck status, have been the hardest time in my 21 years of coaching." Armstrong compiled a 63-89 record during his five seasons as coach, including a 9-20 mark this year. Armstrong took over the head coaching duties in 1982 and his first squad struggled to a 4-27 record. "I wasn't hired until almost two months after signing date (of recruits) for that first season," Armstrong said. "I was thrown into the situation as a green high school coach without the benefit of a good recruiting class and only one returning starter. After that 4-27 start, it's been difficult to
catch up and have a decent overall won-loss record." His next three squads showed marked improvement, going 10-19, 20-14 and 20-9. Armstrong was named the District IX Coach of the Year following his second
Vista Sports 20-win campaign in 85-86 when the Bronchos reached the semifinals of the district tournament. "We obviously had a difficult time on the court this year," said Armstrong. "We had some discipline problems and we had a group of young players behind four seniors. "I think that when things go wrong such as a won-loss record, a coach has no place to hide. The easiest thing to do in athletics when things are going wrong is fire the coach. But that isn't always the solution. "If you look at the past 11 years at CSU, there have been three coaches fired and hired and it hasn't been the solution so far." Armstrong led the Bronchos to their first winning season since 1975-76 and the school's first back-to-back, 20-win seasons since 1962-63, '63-64. "If I had to do it over again, knowing what I know now, I wouldn't accept the job," Armstrong reflected. "I was told by a previous CSU coach that if I wasn't going to have a full-time assistant, that I was going to have a long, tough road because recruiting is so difficult for one person. "The last two coaches at CSU have each complained the same thing; that there isn't a commitment to the basketball program." Wagnon stressed the need to announce a replacement by the next Regents meeting primarily for recruitng purposes. "The national signing date for
recruits is April 8," Wagnon continued. "So, if a coach is named on the 20th, that's only 19 days before the signing date. "We had made a lot of contacts during the season, but we'll be in limbo until we name a successor. We won't contact any kids until then, because they might not be kids who the new coach wants." Armstrong said he would like to go back to teaching at the high school level and stay out of coaching for a few years. He has previously taught and coached on the high school level at Capitol Hill and Del City. "The only thing that really concerns me (with the dismissal) is the way it was handled," Armstrong said. "I think the administration has the prerogative to handle coaching changes as they wish. "But, I can't have any respect when a coach is notified in midseason that he's going to be gone. It takes the heart and determination out of the remainder of the season. "I think in coaching, you always teach to learn from adversity," Armstrong continued. "Some of my best seasons have followed adverse years. My state championship team at Del City followed an 11-17 season, the state championship at Capitol Hill came after a mediocre season and the two 20-win seasons here at Central followed two years of frustration. "It is something that I can learn from, and if I keep my head up, it will make me a better person down the road."
Lady capers fall 73-59 in finale By Mary Butler
The CSU women's basketball team, dropping a 73-59 contest to Cameron University on the road Thursday night, watched their season and playoff hopes come to an end as the Lady Aggies handed the Lady Bronchos their third consecutive loss. "This was a really big game
Cameron dumps Bronchos to end losing hoop season By John Helsley
Sports Editor Cameron broke open a close game midway through the second half Thursday night and pulled away for a 93-78 win over CSU in Lawton, putting an end to a disappointing season for the Bronchos. Freshman Reggie Evans kept the Bronchos close for most of the opening period as he rang up 19 firsthalf points. The 5-7 point guard from Edmond put on an impressive shooting display, hitting 11 straight field goals during one stretch, including five 3-pointers. Evans finished with a career-high 30 points to pace the Bronchos. The loss marked the end of Buddy Armstrong's realm as coach at CSU and also signaled the end to the college playing careers of three Broncho seniors. Andy Parker, Keith Newton and Mark Martinovich each made their final appearance in a CSU uniform. Parker finished with four points and five rebounds and Newton had four points and four rebounds. Martinovich closed out his career on a bright note as he tallied 25 points, including 17 in the second half. The Bartlesville forward canned 11-of-21 from the floor, three-of-three from the line and grabbed a

team-high six rebounds. The Aggies benefited from a balanced scoring effort, as five different Cameron players scored in double figures. Larry Dougherty led the way with 20 points, Donnie Moore totaled 18, Nathan Moore tallied 16, Booker Presley had 14 and Pat Hamilton added 13. Presley also had a game-high nine rebounds. Cameron, now 22-11 and headed to the district playoffs, carried a three-point lead into halftime at 41-38. The Bronchos got within one on three different occasions in the closing stanza, but could never take the lead. The Aggies shot 53 percent from the field in the contest and outrebounded CSU 40-29. The Bronchos shot 48 percent for the game. With the loss, the Bronchos closed the year with a dismal 9-20 record. The basketballers dropped their final eight games in posting their first losing campaign in three years. One bright spot for the Bronchos was the lateseason play of Evans. As he received more playing time, Evans showed he can be an offensive force at point guard by connecting from the outside or driving the lane and dishing off assists.
that we had to win and we just
froze up," said coach John Keely. "It was like a baseball pitcher going in there and walking the first ten batters of the ball game." Cameron took advantage of the Lady Broncho's game opening frostbite. The Lady Aggies put together a barrage of steals and fast breaks to jump out to an early 18-2 lead with over fourteen minutes left in the first period. The Lady Bronchos pulled within 11, 32-21, with just over two minutes to go in the half, and outscored the Lady Aggies 57-59 after their quick 18-point start, but could never fully recover. Cameron pounded out a 25-38 half time spread and carried the lead until the final buzzer. The Lady Aggies, putting together a sharp defensive effort, managed fourteen steals and four blocked shots enroute to their 22nd win of the season. Jill Smith and LaDonna James paced the Lady Broncho crew totaling ten counters each. The duo also combined for ten rebounds. Terry Wilson and Melanie Jones tipped in eight apiece and Wilson also snagged a game high 11 rebounds. Four Lady Aggies tallied double figures. Pam Burris, Sheila Buckner and LaDonna Johnson each totaled a dozen markers while mate Cynthia Williamson chipped in 11. CSU wrapped up their 16-14 season on a sweet and sour note. "We were both happy and
disappointed," said Keely. "We weren't happy about coming up one game short of making the playoffs, but after the last two miserable years we've been through, you've just got to be pleased with the season," the seven-year mentor added. Four senior Lady Bronchos, Dee Dee Rutz, Terry Wilson, Melanie Jones and Cheri Happe turned in their last performances for CSU. "I have nothing but praise for our seniors," said Keely. "They're a tremendous bunch of leaders. They kept things together for us when it got tough," he added. Happe lead this years squad in both steals, 43, and assists, 95, while Rutz blocked a team high 15 shots. Wilson topped all CSU rebounders with 236 and finished second in the total points column with 249, while Jones, averaging 7.2 counters a contest, produced solid marks in all areas. Keely also credits the Lady Bronchos success to the tremendous attitude of the bench. "We had about nine kids who didn't get to play a whole lot, but they were unselfish and had just great attitudes," he said. The Lady Bronchos hope to continue their improvement as they step up to NCAA Division II competition next season. "We're recruiting a lot of real high quality athletes and people are starting to listen to us. Next year should be real interesting," said Keely.

Young baseballers struggle in first outings By Terry La France Student Writer "A learning experience," was how CSU baseball coach Bobby Hunt described a 2-6 season opening series in Texas. The team played four double-headers Feb. 8-11. The squad dropped its first four games of the season to St. Edwards of Austin 6-2 and 9-5 and to Georgetown 11-1 and 4-3. The Bronchos lost 7-2 to Houston Tillison before winning their first game of the season in the second game, 6-5. In the final series of the trip, CSU split a pair with Mary Hardin-Baylor as CSU won 4-3 in the opener but lost the nightcap 11-1. Hunt said Georgetown was comparable to anyone in District IX. "They had a real good kid, who could throw about 88 miles per hour," Hunt said. "Errors hurt us, that, and a lack of aggressiveness at the plate."
Hunt listed 27 errors, 39 walks and 57 strikeouts, but was particularly disturbed about the number of called third strikes that his team took. The poor performance was partially attributed to the snow that kept the ballplayers inside earlier this year. "The snow destroyed our timing, but I'm not trying to make excuses," the coach said. Hunt also cited the inexperience of the freshmen pitchers, of which he started six. "I think a lot of it was nerves, their first college game and all. I think the trip helped us." With a pitching staff of 12, there is no shortage of talent. Byron Shoumaker is the lone senior hurler. His experience is augmented by two juniors, Dale Cebert and Doug Gillis. Filling out the mound crew are

Four gridders honored By Rob Rumbaugh Student Writer Post-season honors have been awarded to four starters from CSU's 1986 football team. At the top of the list is placekicker Mark Monroe, a senior from Mustang. His 1986 season effort of a 3.32 overall grade point average, the conversion of 27 of 28 PATs and nineof-11 field goal attempts placed him on the 1986 Academic AllAmerican list for the third consecutive year. He was also chosen as an honorable mention on the NAIA All-America Division I team. A 1986 first team All-District IX honoree, Monroe finished out his collegiate career as the most consistent placekicker in Broncho history. He holds the school record for most field goals in a game (four vs Northwest Missouri, 9-14-85), in a season (12, 1985) and a career (29, 1984-86). He also owns the school record for most PATs made and attempted, 90 of 94, and the career record for consecutive PATs in a season (29, 1984) and career (49). By scoring 65 points in 1985, Monroe became the first kicker in
school history to score 60 points or more in a single season. Joining Monroe in receiving national honors are Clinton natives Charles Bell, senior noseguard, three year starter at quarterback, Glynn Walker, and running back John Sterling. Bell finished out 1986 selected to the Football News first team All-America and second team NAIA All-America. He collected a total of 55 tackles, two quarterback sacks and one fumble recovery on the year. For the second consecutive season Walker, a junior, has been named to the NAIA Academic All-America team. His 1986 endeavor (847 yards and six TDs passing, 251 yards and five TDs rushing, compiling 1,098 yards in total offense) propelled him into second place on CSU's all-time passing (3,778 yards, 26 TDs) and total offensive (4,591 yards) lists. Sterling, an Altus native, was selected honorable mention to the NAIA All-America Division I team...Math 122 rushing attempts, Sterling dashed for 879 yards to place him at the top of the team's leading rushers. He averaged 7.2 yards per carry and his seven touchdowns put him in a tie as the team's second leading scorer.

History of school provides insight to past By Jebbie Low
Student Writer The history of Central State University spans 85 years, making it one of the oldest schools in Oklahoma. On Nov. 9, 1891, State Normal School, which would become CSU, held its first class in the First Methodist Church, 19 N. Broadway. Richard Thatcher, a graduate from McKendree College in Lebanon, Ill., was the first principal of the one room school which offered arithmetic, grammar, geography, reading and orthography courses. A total of 25 students, six boys and nineteen girls, were enrolled in the first class. An incident fee of $1.25 was charged per term, and tuition was free. A furnished room cost $4 a week, with an unfurnished one costing $2 a week. Construction for the Normal School building was made possible with a $5,000 bond issue from
Oklahoma County. Anton H. Classen donated 40 acres of land, which was divided into lots and sold for $30 each, raising $3,500. Edmond residents donated an additional $2,000 in bonds. J.G. Haskell was named the architect for the Normal Building. Construction commenced during the summer of 1892. By Jan. 2, 1893, the Normal School was moved to the partly finished square building, later called the Normal Building. It was the first building erected for education in Oklahoma territory. In 1892, Minnie Morton became the first teacher to graduate from the Normal School. She rode a pony to her job in a one-room schoolhouse on the west side of Edmond. Her monthly salary of $35 was mainly paid in meat and vegetables. The first catalogue for Normal School, "Scope and Aims," was published in 1895. The first issue said, "This institution proposes to be neither a
university or a college. Its special function is to prepare teachers for our public schools." Two more wings and a clock tower were added to the Normal Building, completed in 1898. It was called the "handsomest building in the Oklahoma territory." Residents of Edmond cut weeds, leveled bumps, removed rubbish and planted trees and flowers around the building. Evans Hall was the next building to be completed in 1916. Mitchell Hall was built in the 20's. Valeta Dome, a former grade school student at the Normal Building in the early 30's, said she remembers the first floor used to be a grade school, providing practical training for the teaching students. Dome's mother ran a kindergarten in the 30's in the building now converted into the campus police station. The Ychapel and Science Building were built in the 40's. Bronze and blue were selected

in 1895 as the official colors of Normal School. Thatcher said bronze represented the shadowed livery of the burnished sun, the gentle light of intelligence. Blue represented the color of heaven's broad expanse, suggestive of depth, aspiration, hope and ideals. Sports were introduced to the school in 1895 with the formation of the first baseball team. J.

Five years later an improved Normal School football team defeated the Oklahoma Methodist University in Guthrie 83-0. Philomath, the first school paper, was published in January 1897. It was replaced by a 6 inch by 8 inch color newspaper called The Vista in November 1903. Vista was derived from view viewing the present and the future. Harvey 0. Shuff was the first editor-in-chief of The Vista. A subscription rate was 10 cents for a single copy and 50 cents for a year subscription. The Normal School was renamed Central State Normal School in 1904. In 1914 the school had a
total enrollment of 2380, making it the largest teacher's training institution in America. In 1921, Central State Normal School became a four year college. The tuition was $32 to $70 per year. On April 13, 1971, Central College gained new status when Gov. David Hall signed a bill naming it Central State University. The increased enrollment of the 60's caused a need for more buildings. The Music Building, Liberal Arts Building, Communications Building, Home Economics and Nursing Buildings, University Center, Broncho Field House, Wantland Stadium, two new domitories and a cafeteria were built to meet the demands. Books and other memorabilia from the Normal School can be found at the Oklahoma Collection Room, on the first floor of the library. Mary Bond, archivist and coordinator of the collection, said, "We have a good collection of photographs since the early period of the Normal School. However, the collection room still needs photographs from the 1920's and the late 1940's to complete the collection."
