Tuition increase proposals vary by12 to 100 percent

By Shannon Blockcolski Editor

A 12-15 percent tuition increase for CSU resident students was approved by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.

The Regents' increase differs from Bellmon's 27 percent tuition increase for regional universities, proposed to the state legislature.

Another proposal submitted to the legislature, by Rep. Penny Williams, D-Tulsa, recommends tuition hikes ranging from 25 to 30 percent. She said she wants tui-

tion charges increased over a fouryear period.

If Williams' proposal is approved, she said $5 million to $6 million in new funds from the tuition increase would be allocated directly into the Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant program.

"The legislature will have to be alert to budget needs, the Regents' recommendations and the voice of their constituents," said Dr. Bill Lillard, CSU president. "Of the three proposals, the one by the Regents will be supported more by

students, faculty and tax payers."

Under the Regents plan, lower division resident courses would cost $18.85 per credit hour, and $25.30 under Bellmon's proposal — an increase of $2 and $8.45.

For upper division courses, the cost per credit hour would be $21.05 under the Regents' plan and $27.45 under Bellmon's plan — an increase of $2.75 and $9.15.

"I predicted the 12-15 percent increase would be approved by the Regents. I've worked in this area for quite awhile, and I get a sense

about people," Lillard said. "The senators and representatives represent the taxpayers, who probably don't view a 50 to 100 percent tuition increase as realistic."

Regents Chancellor Joe Leone told The Daily Oklahoman he is concerned many Oklahoma residents and out-of-state students

will not be able to afford a college education if tuition charges increase too quickly.

Lillard said, "There will be slight alterations almost weekly in the tuition proposals. There will probably be a compromise between the Regents proposal and Bellmon's proposal."

Airplane game soars

Student plays illegal scheme

By C.K. Abbas A pyramid scheme for making a quick buck, called the "Airplane Game," has gained popularity in the last few weeks around Oklahoma City, according to one CSU student who wished to remain nameless.

The student said the game is played in pyramid form. One person gives $200 to a recruiter, making the player a "passenger." The

"passenger" recruits two more members and moves up to "crew member."

The new "passengers" recruit two more people, moving the original "passenger" up to "copilot" status, the student said.

Players move up the pyramid until they reach the final step, the "pilot."

At the pilot point, the participant gains profit. The pilot col-

lects $1600 and is "off the plane."

The CSU student involved is playing at the "crewmember" status. Although she invested $200 two weeks ago, the student said it is possible to move up the pyramid much quicker.

Recruiting passengers has been difficult for her, she said.

"Most'of the friends I have are college students, and don't have that kind of money to invest," the student said, "I am also receiving lots of pressure from the higher game people to recruit members, which can be quite bothersome."

Good and bad points about the scheme exist, according to the student. Although her recruiter promised to pay back the initial investment, should she not make it to the pilot position, the student said it isn't a "sure thing."

Although she said she was aware the game is illegal when she "boarded the plane," she is now nervous about being caught.

Police around the c - untry and in Oklahoma City are arresting people playing the game, she said.

"I thought I would take a chance on the big returns," she said, "I already know two people who have made $1600.

"It just doesn't seem like gambling to me. It's just a quick way to make money. You go in (to the game) knowing you might win and you might lose. I don't know why it's illegal."

Todd Steidley, CSU wrestler is interviewed by a local television station during the reception for the wrestlers traveling to national tournament in Wheeling, W. Va. The wrestlers will compete Thursday, Friday and Saturday for the NAIA title.

Opinion Page 55 mph: dinosaur law?

Speed limit outlives usefulness

By J. Burst Student Writer The national maximum speed limit, designed as a fuel conservation measure, has served its original purpose. The 55-mile-per-hour speed limit began in 1974 following an oil embargo. It has long outlived its usefulness.

Supporters of the speed limit use the argument that traffic fatalities dropped from 55,000 in 1973 to 46,000 in 1974, and have stayed at or below that level.

Because of these statistics, Congress hasn't passed an amendment raising the speed limit.

There are other factors affecting the drop in accident-related deaths. If a fair analysis is made, then Congress should consider all issues to reach an objective conclusion.

The first year following the embargo, gasoline prices increased, altering the driving habits of the American people. Vacations requiring long highway time and leisurely Sunday drives were drastically reduced in response to the oil shortage. Less motorists were on the roads, so fewer accidents resulted.

Interstates are designed for faster speeds and safer driving conditions.

Approximately 150 to 200 miles of new

interstate is added every year, taking more drivers off the antiquated twolane roads. These changes have caused fewer deaths on the highways.

Many people fear an increase in the speed limit to 65 mph would create a monster, pushing the offenders of the 55 mph limit to speeds of 75 and 80 mph. Many speeders are already going 75 to 80 mph, but they use radar detectors to be alerted of highway patrols.

The general public does not like breaking the law, but the monotony of driving 55 mph on long, flat stretches has pushed the motorist to average speeds of 65 mph. The number of speeding offenders can be lowered by

raising the speed limit to 65 mph and letting the few exceptions break the law.

In the 1986 issue of "Congressional Digest," one senator said, "You will find it is very difficult to feel safe at 55 mph without being run over by the mass of traffic driving closer to 65 mph."

Polls show some drivers favor the 55 mph speed limit, even though they admit to speeding themselves. If the motorists who favor this law are unwilling to abide by it, then perhaps it's time to do away with this dinosaur and allow speed limits to be adjusted by each state according to need.

Tuition increase favors students over politics

By Shannon Blockcolski

Editor It looks as if the commotion about dramatic tuition increases has fizzled into what the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education said in the first place, 12 percent for resident lower division course costs and 15 percent for resident upper division classes at CSU. Did anyone actually believe students would be forced to foot the bill created by damage from the once wealthy and powerful people in Oklahoma?

The Regents are facing difficult times, with Bellmon's proposal to oust several members and internal conflicts

about Chancellor Joe Leone. Despite Bellmon's outcry to make the students pay, in one lump sum, for their education, the Regents took into consideration the damage a 50 percent or larger tuition increase would have on enrollment in Oklahoma colleges and universities.

Granted, a tuition increase will hurt some students, and it is not the best way to help Oklahoma's economy. But when one is talking about the choice between a 50 percent or 15 percent in-

crease, the situation doesn't seem so negative.

Commentary

Perhaps the Regents do not "oversee" well the activities of campus administrators, such as at Southeastern Oklahoma State University and Rose State College, but they are keeping the student's best interests in mind.

With the state legislature, governor and even some college and university administrators trying to shove the consequences of a terrible Oklahoma economy on the students, it's nice to know students in higher education have an ally.

Without the students, there would be no higher education. Maybe the upper echelon of state colleges and universities will remember they wouldn't have a paycheck if there weren't any students.

Candidate denies using 'dead' proposal To the editor: An article appeared in The Vista on Feb. 19 generally stating I was going to use the controversy surrounding the activities building proposal as the main issue for running for the presidency of the Student Association.

This article was false in this assertion. The issue of the building, to me, is now redundant. At the time the pro-

posal first came up, I didn't believe this school's administration would go for it, then or now.

After the public hearing was held, and many student views were heard, Jeff Shilling himself formally agreed more research needed to be done, something I pointed out in the beginning.

The proposed activities building is

an old and dead issue in my opinion, and I will let it rest in peace.

I will run on something more pragmatic and with substance, not on bleeding out an idealistic plan, because I think everyone is really tired of hearing about it anyway.

Soviets advance different deal

-

In a sudden move, Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev has proposed an arms deal different than those proposed previously.

The main change in this version drops the stipulation requiring the United States to stop research on Star Wars.

The plan would call for the Unites States and the Soviet Union to withdraw all intermediate-range nuclear warheads from Europe.

Assistant Secretary of Defense Richard N. Perle said Sunday the recent announcement from Gorbachev was a constructive step, but added both sides would still have to agree on how to police the proposed agreement before a treaty could be drafted.

Progress on such a treaty had been halted because of Soviet complaints against United States research on Star Wars, causing many European leaders to express concern that the Geneva arms talks might be scuttled.

Report surprises ex-hostage A former hostage in Lebanon, released last July, said Sunday he questioned President Regan's credibility after he learned his release was through a arms-hostage deal as reported by the Tower Commission.

The Rev. Lawrence Martin Jenco said he thought the president was doing the compassionate thing, but didn't think arms for hostages would accomplish anything.

Jenco said he believed the president when Reagan told the American people arms were not traded for hostages, and after reading the Tower Commission's finding, he was left with a question mark.

Pope visit to draw crowds Full stadiums are expected when Pope John Paul II visits nine cities during his Unites States tour, scheduled from Sept. 10-19.

Tickets to papal masses are free, and church officials are counting on large turn outs. A church spokesman said money from Catholic corporations and individuals will defray the costs of the tour.

The pope will visit Miami, Columbia, S.C., New Orleans, San Antonio, Phoenix, Monterey and San Francisco, Ca. and Detroit.

Lift dumps skiers, killing five A lift carrying skiers Sunday at the Pyrenees resort of Luz-Ardiden in France pitched dozens of skiers onto the ground, killing five and seriously wounding 25.

Police said the chairlift, on the resort's upper slopes and opened just two weeks before the accident, apparently was caused by the collapse of the upper part of one of the support pylons.

Tornado strands 500 families A tornado cut a two-mile-wide path 20 miles long Saturday morning in Mississippi, leaving 500 families homeless and causing millions of dollars in damage.

Residents in the area of the tornado had fifteen minutes warning before the twister struck. Schools in the area were hard hit, and officials believe if the storm had struck during the week the loss of life would have been high.

Seven people lost their lives during the storm.

Victims' families talk to press Family members of victims from the August shooting spree of Patrick Sherrill held a press conference Friday, and said they were frustrated at the Postal Service's treatment of deceased family members as well as postal employees who returned to work.

Linda Brundage, sister-in-law of slain employee Rick Esser, read from a prepared statement saying the Postal Service failed to deliver a comprehensive investigative report promised after the tragedy.

Readers' forum

Puffers lack respect To the editor: In response to Martha Giglio's article about banning smoking in CSU's buildings, a non-smoker has a few things to say.

It was good to see someone take such a bold stand against inconsiderate smokers. But Martha, if you think the smoke problem is bad in hallways, you ought to come by the 89er Cafeteria during the weekend when people from all four residence halls eat there. I get so tired of having to put up with cigarette smoke for five meals every weekend.

Thomas Myers and Mark Pfeifer care about their "rights" as smokers ... well, you guys have no right to blow your smoke in my direction, but you do just about every time I see you.

Smokers who don't think their smoke is harmful and dangerous to themselves as well as others must be pretty ignorant or naive.

The problem goes beyond the cafeteria. Martha is right about the hallways, especially in the Liberal Arts building. Of course the smoke doesn't bother Mark and other smokers because they inhale two or three packs of cigarette smoke every day.

I don't understand why smokers have the "right" to pollute the air in closed spaces. Why not be a little more courteous and smoke outside or somewhere that won't bother non-smokers?

You talked about how cars pollute the outside air, Mark, yet I don't back my car into your bedroom and fill it with exhaust fumes. Why am I forced to breath your "exhaust fumes" in hallways or

cafeterias?

It also angers me when I'm watching television in one of the viewing rooms on campus and three or four guys walk in, sit down and light up. What gives them the right to do that? What about my rights to breath clean air?

I usually end up leaving the room because of their smoking. That doesn't seem fair, especially when I was there first.

I agree 100 percent with Martha's statement, "Smoker's rights end where their behavior infringes on the rights of others."

In the dorm, we don't have the right to play AC/DC full blast and we don't have the right to run up and down halls screaming at 3 a.m., because those actions infringe upon the rights of other students.

There should be no reason smokers should have the right to smoke when they know it's going to contaminate the air in hallways, cafeterias or television rooms. Come on guys, show non-smokers a little consideration!

There are better ways to spend money than wasting it on smoking. Spend it on jogging shoes and start jogging and exercising. It's a lot cheaper than smoking, plus it will keep you physically fit rather than physically drained, like smoking does.

That might show Edmond how intelligent CSU students really are.

Poor editing?

Editor changes slant To the editor: I spent my time and energy to write a letter to the editor last week, only to have it edited badly by an associate editor.

When I wrote the letter, I used correct grammar, different wording and even different sentence and paragraph structure. I resent the fact you added incorrect grammar and changed words I very carefully chose.

I found no less than 34 changes and omissions. How can you expect people who care to make any attempt when you slant what they are trying to say with your editing?

This makes me wonder how

well you do the rest of your job. If it is possible for you to do such a poor job with something as simple as a letter to the editor, how well do you do your reporting? How well do you research your information?

I have seen correction boxes in quite a few issues lately. Is that an example of responsible news reporting?

Come on, Vista staff! If what you did to my letter to the editor was your best attempt, it appears you could use some help. I would gladly accept the job. I was a journalism major at Oklahoma City University some years ago. I am qualified to work on a newspaper.

I have done so before. If you would like help, just ask. I would be more than happy to comply, and the readers of this paper would be the true beneficiaries.

Mayre Trice Associate editor's note: Out of the 34 changes and omissions made by the associate editor in the letter to the editor appearing in the Feb. 26 issue of The Vista mentioned above, the newspaper staff agrees there was no change made in editorial comment.

Applications for positions on The Vista are available in room 210 of the Communications Building.

Aluminum siding salesmen use scams to sell their wares.

Aluminum siding salesmen? "Tin Men," a Barry Levinson comedy, tells the story of two aluminum siding salesmen from rival companies.

Bill "B.B." Babowsky, played by Richard Dreyfuss, wages a personal war with Ernest Tilly, played by Danny Devito. Their war is not based on their respective companies, but their respective cars, and eventually Tilly's wife Nora, played by Barbara Hershey.

Review Babowsky and Tilly meet by bumping into each other. Make that bumping their cadillacs together. The movie follows these two tin men as they seek revenge on each other. At first, they contain the damage to their already damaged cars; until Babowsky decides to destroy Tilly by seducing his wife. The outcome exceeds everyone's expectations.

"Tin Men" tells another story as well, the story of aluminum siding salesmen trying to live by using scams to sell their product. The government, though, begins public hearings to rid the business of fraudulent salesmen. Babowsky and Tilly, being true tin men, get caught up in this menace to their livelihood.

Following the original Greek definition of the word 'comedy,' "Tin Men" comes across as a fun movie. But for people who think of comedies as laugh a minute one-liners, this movie may come across as being a little on the boring side. "Tin Men" is more of a true situation cornedy, not the poor version found on TV, wherein the humor is derived from the situations the characters find themselves in. There also is a good amount of humor in their conversations, such as their thoughts on "Bonanza."

"Tin Men's" believability comes from a large amount of research and an excellent script; a script delving into responsibilty, scruples, honesty and relationships. "Tin Men" used humor to accentuate its messages, and didn't go for jokes just because they were there.

"Tin Men" probably won't become the top movie of the season, but should still be on everyone's list of good movies to see.

ROTC

arauders nab third

Photos and Story By Italia Carson

Members of the CSU ROTC Ranger Challenge Marauder team took third place honors at the Brigade Ranger Challenge Competition Feb. 21 at Ft. Sill, held against ROTC units from other regional schools.

"The idea for the competition was originated by Maj. Gen. Robert E. Wagner from the Cadet Command Headquarters," said Wilson. "It was done the previous year in the fourth ROTC region on the west coast, but this is the first year that it is going on nationally."

Trained by Wilson and Master Sgt. Ed Hogue, the nine members of the Ranger Challenge team, consisting of Charles Booze, Brad Duffey, Kevin Gray, team leader David Griffith, Mark Hinds, Cliff Johnston, Albert Lovelady, Mike Maples and George Rodericks, began practicing for the competition last fall.

With Saturday's wake-up time at 5 a.m., the cadets went to the competition field and began scoring points in the

events consisting of a grenade throw, weapons assembly, marksmanship, knot tying, one-rope bridge and 10-kilometer road march.

"The one-rope bridge was our weakest event," Wilson said. "But we knew that going into the competition. We performed it correctly, we just couldn't do it fast enough."

The 10-kilometer road march was held last. The participants were required to carry a 25-pound backpack and M16 rifle during the march.

"It was probably our strongest event overall," Wilson said. "You had to finish the march with eight of the nine members, and we were the only team to have all nine men come in.

"We did real well overall," he continued. "The scores were real close. Next year, they should do better because right now, the team works real hard together without any real problems and the members will be the same rather than a new team."

Top: Kevin Gray aims a grenade at a target 25 yards away. The team took 1st place in this event. Left: Members of the team approach the finish line during the 10 kilometer road march.

Wrestlers gun for 4th straight title

By John Helsley

VISTA Sports

Sports Editor If Broncho wrestling coach David James could have looked into a crystal ball before the season began and saw that he would have four freshmen, three transfers and a pair of squadmen going to the national wrestling tournament, he probably would have smashed the crystal ball. would have questioned our chances, that's for sure," James said. "It normally takes a while for new people to get accustomed to the system, but this group has molded together into a fine group."

In 1986, the Bronchos had six All-Americans. Only one of the six, Stoney Wright, returned for the '87 season, and he was sidelined by a knee injury. But, as James said, the current group has meshed into a strong group, which has the Bronchos perched atop the NAIA rankings heading into the national tournament Thursday and Friday in Wheeling, W.Va. CSU will send nine wrestlers to Wheeling in an attempt to win an unprecedented fourth straight NAIA national championship.

The Bronchos are hoping for a case of deja vu, because it was in Wheeling eight years ago CSU won its first national title. Since then, they have claimed six of the past eight national crowns.

Qualifiers for this year's tournament are Shawn Fleming at 118, a Sapulpa freshman; Jimmy Filippo at 126, a Moore freshman; Jerry Goss at 134, Catoosa junior; Todd Steidley, 142, Tulsa junior; Johnny Nimmo, 150, Del City freshman; Darren Peaster, a 158

Claremore senior; Brett Beams at 167, a Shawnee freshman; Johnny Deaton at 177, a Moore senior; and Bill Ogilvie, 190, Norman senior.

"I have to give these guys some credit," James said. "They have adapted and jelled by working hard. In a sport like wrestling that is so physically and mentally demanding, change happens.

They deserve credit.

James pointed out the things his squad needs to do to win the title.

"The key is the first and second rounds," the coach said. "Those matches get out the jitters and start to give you some momentum. The more guys you have in the quarterfinals and semi-finals is where the tournament is won.

"Secondly, we have to control our own situation. When we go out on the mat, we have to be hungry and aggressive. We can't be out there trying to defend anything. We have no control over what the other contenders do unless we meet them heads up."

James continued, "Finally, we have to get some breaks. The other teams have to suffer a few upsets, but I believe that teams make their own breaks."

After a slow start, the Bronchos came on to win their final 10 duals and finish with a 12-5 record. For the year, they outscored their opponents 528-219 in dual meets. In

the last nine duals, the Bronchos outscored the opposition 351-74, appearing to peak at the right time.

"Being our last year in the NAIA, I would like for our team to win our last opportunity for that title," James said. "It's a lot

funner when you win. It makes for a more enjoyable spring and summer.

"I believe in the old theory that if you work hard enough to win, you deserve it," James continued.

"We're going to find out if we deserve it."

Netters slam Texas-Arlington teams The men's tennis team traveled to Arlington Saturday to beat the University of Texas-Arlington, 8-1, on their home court. The sound beating suffered by UTA was the fourth win of the season for the men.

Kevin Hill, in number one singles, had a tough time downing Martin Obionwu in three sets, 4-6, 6-3,6-1. Adrian Roji gave number two singles player, Phil DesJardins, a difficult time in a three-set match. DesJardins came out on top winning, 7-5, 6-7, 7-5.

"I enjoyed seeing Kevin and Phil tough out their singles win.

We are playing quite well for this early in the season," said Coach Francis Baxter.

Steidley leads by action, not words

By John Helsley

CSU's Todd Steidley is riding the wave of a 25-match winning streak into the NAIA National Wrestling Tournament.

Todd Steidley is on a roll.

Heading into this weekend's NAIA National Wrestling Tournament, the junior 142-pounder is riding a 25-match winning streak which dates back to Dec. 6.

Boasting a 38-6-1 record overall, Steidley is the softspoken, yet confident, leader of the top-ranked Broncho wrestling team. Although he is not the typical loud, vocal leader, Steidley sets an example on the mat and his teammates take notice.

"He has really meant a lot to our team this year," said CSU head coach David James. "He's not one of those guys who does a lot of talking, but he prepares himself, works hard and lets his results speak for him. If he has his headgear on, avoid him."

Steidley joined the Bronchos this year after transfering from Utah State, where he compiled a 41-21-1 mark over two seasons. James originally recruited him out of Tulsa Union High School before Steidley decided on the NCAA school.

"The program at Utah State wasn't very supportive of the wrestling team and it was too far from home," Steidley said, explaining his reasons for transfering.

"After leaving there, it was between OSU and CSU. The main reason I came here was that everyone was more friendly and I was really impressed with Coach James," Steidley said. "At OSU, everyone made it seem like they were doing me a favor just speaking with me.

"It was always my dream to go to OSU when 1 was younger," he continued. "It was especially satisfying for me when I beat their kid in the dual."

Steidley beat the Cowboy's 142-pounder, Eric Wilson, when the teams met earlier this season. He also has to his credit a draw with OU's Nick Neville and a win over Joe Lilovich of Purdue, two highly ranked NCAA wrestlers.

The win over Lilovich came in the finals of the Sunshine Open, where Steidley was named the tournament's outstanding wrestler. He also has captured tournament titles at the Central Missouri Open and the Southwest Missouri Invitational. His 77 dual points lead the team and he's also tied with Johnny Nimmo for the team lead with 12 falls.

"I'm happy with the way this season has gone," Steidly said. "When I left Utah State, I was really down. Coach James was very supportive and he helped me get my confidence back and got me wrestling better than I ever have. " At the national tournament, Steidley figures to be one of the favorites for the 142-pound crown.

His main obstacle appears to be Jeff Klorter of Northern Montana, who defeated CSU's Kevin Freeman for the title a year ago.

"I really don't know much about the rest of the guys at my weight," said Steidley. "The returning champ is back and he beat Freeman last year, but that's about all I know.

"You have to look at it as just another tournament," he continued. "You can't look forward to the semi-finals or the finals. You just take it one match at a time and give it everything you have each match because there is no tommorow; if you lose, that's it."

A national title would be the perfect finish to a fine personal season, and James said that Steidley has as good a shot as any of his wrestlers.

"He wants a national championship really bad," James commented. "He has worked hard and is very deserving. I think his chances are good going in and he definitely has the ability to be a national champ. I think he can be a national champ on any level."

Regardless of what happens at the national tournament, Todd Steidley has enjoyed a splendid season. And although he won't come out and say it, the confident look in Steidley's eye gives an indication that the best is yet to come.

'Hoosiers scores

Two Broncho cagers get District 9 honors

By John Helsley Indiana and basketball are synonymous to sports fans throughout the country. In the Hoosier state, basketball is an integral part, if not a way of life, to those associated with the sport on the high school and college levels.

"Hoosiers" is a touching film which portrays the importance of basketball to the players, families and fans of a small country high school team in the early '50's.

Gene Hackman is superb in his role as Norman Dale. Dale is hired to coach the Hickory Huskers just two weeks before their season begins, following the death of the previous coach.

He gets off to a rocky start when the townspeople attempt to tell him how to coach, the school's best player (Jimmy Chitwood) doesn't join the team and his players are slow adusting to his style of play.

Chitwood eventually comes to Dale's rescue, saving the coach's job and changing the fortunes of the team as the "Cinderella" Huskers begin to win and move on to the state championship game.

Barbara Hershey is good in the part of Myra Fleener, schoolteacher and Chitwood's guardian, but the best performance is turned in by Dennis Hopper. Hopper is stunning as "Shooter," town drunk and father of one of the players, who is one of Dale's biggest supporters.

"Hoosiers" was inspired by the true story of tiny Milan High School who won the Indiana State Championship in 1954. It is a heartwarming movie which will provide pure entertainment for the entire family, whether sports fans or not.

for a three-set win as did Johnson and Parker.

The men were equally impressive in crushing Midwestern 9-0 and 'dumping Odessa 6-3.

Against Midwestern, the Bronchos dropped only one of 19 sets.

Kevin Hill, Phil DesJardins, Stan Swyden, Mac Convento, Rob Autry and Tom Schmidt all easily won their singles matches.

DesJardins and Swyden, Autry and Convento and Hill and Schmidt then combined to complete the shutout with doubles wins.

Against Odessa, Hill was upset by freshman Mike Hinson 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 in the opening match. But the Bronchos rattled off five straight singles matches to record the victory and run their record to 3-1.

"This was the first time that we've ever beaten Odessa, either men or women," Baxter said.

"They are a good team and they put a lot of emphasis on their tennis teams through the athletic department. "

CSU adds 4 grid signees From Staff Reports The CSU football team recently received the signatures of four high school recruits to letters of intent; bringing the total number of players signed by the Bronchos to 15. Signing with CSU were two running backs and two offensive linemen.

Eric Chatman, a 6-1, 185-pound tailback from Wichita Falls, Texas and Terrance Jones, a 5-10, 175-pound running back from Tulsa East Central, have signed as future ballcarriers for the Bronchos.

Also signing with the Bronchos were All-State offensive tackle Tony Fulibright, 6-2, 240, of Tecumseh and offensive guard Russell Bishop, 6-2, 235 from Tulsa Union.

Education dean to retire after 25 years

By Jill Wilson Student Writer Dr. Dale Mullins, dean of the College of Education, will retire from CSU at the end of the spring semester. He has taught at CSU for 25 years.

"My plans for the future remain to be seen," Mullins said.

In 1971, he became the first dean of the College of Education.

Since then, the College of Education has grown and changed,

Mullins said. In his first year as dean, the school had approximately 45 faculty members, compared to the 60 faculty it has now.

Mullins taught at he consolidated school of Burns Flat in Washita county for four year, then in the Oklahoma City Public School system for 14 years.

Mullins said he has seen many changes in the field of education during his career, especially in the CSU College of Education. Two

years before he came to CSU, the lab school for student teachers was closed and the student teacher began the current practice of teaching in outside public school systems.

Mullins previously worked in Tanzania in the area of teacher education, and since CSU has a teacher education relationship with Korea, he said, "If the opportunity presents itself, I would continue that work."

Students to select outstanding profs

By Jon Powell Students now have the chance to select the teachers they consider best in each college.

"Since students work closely with their instructors, and have a good idea as to whether or not they are learning the subject ta::c-ht, they are good barometers of the teachers' effectiveness," said Bill Smith, chairperson of the student / faculty relations committee.

Smith, who wrote a resolution recommending the Student Association Outstanding Educator election, said he felt the students deserved more in-

put in the recognition of good teachers.

"Instructors already receive two other recognition awards, but those awards fail to incorporate the thoughts of the people benefiting from the professor's teaching ability," Smith said.

Smith asked that students fill out the ballot to the left and either drop it in one of the Student Association suggestion boxes on campus or take it to the Student Association office located on the fourth floor of the University Center.

The forms are due March 13.

Nominations contain the following restrictions: students can nominate only one teacher from each college, students must be enrolled or have taken one of the teacher's courses, the teacher must be at least an assistant professor with three or more years employment at CSU and does much undergraduate work, Smith said.

The top four nominees from each college will be placed on the ballot for the Student Association election April 1.

The awards, a plaque and a dinner for two will be given out the following week. Each day, the Student Association will present the awards before the winner's peers in the respective colleges.
