American public unaware of amendment provisions According th a 1980 Gallup Survey, 76 percent of the American public does not know what the first amendment says, according to Frank Sutherland, national treasurer for the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi (SPJ, SDX). "The people around you, those who read your newspapers, watch your television stations and listen to your radio don't know what the first amendment says," Sutherland said. He added that 69 percent of the public believes government should regulate the content of radio; television and newspapers, according to the same survey. Government officials seem to be taking advantage of this apathy, and the Reagan administration is making what Sutherland sees as great strides in curbing press freedom. Reagan's moves are under scrutiny by professionals at SPJ, SDX. According to Sutherland, the national officers got together in January to rate Reagan on his first year in office. Reagan received a grade of 10, failing nine of the ten categories tested. "For the past four months, the administration has been at work on executive orders that would make it easier for government agencies to classify information, thus withholding it from the public," Sutherland said.

"President Reagan has held just six press conferences in the first year," he added. "This is fewer than any first term president in at least half a century." The Reagan administration did come out againt moves to regulate press freedom around the world, enabling the president to pass one category, Sutherland added. Sutherland also found fault with the Agent Identity Bill, which would make it a crime to reveal, in the media, the name of a present or former CIA agent. While it was written in response to overseas activity, it is being enforced on American reporters, Sutherland said.

"It is just part of the means to chip away at the first amendment," he said. While the government is taking a strong lead in curtailing press freedoms, it is not the only group to do so, he said. Some boards take action to control the freedom of the press. Many books were banned for use in schools in 1981, including the American Heritage Dictionary, Kramer Versus Kramer, The Scarlet Letter, A Farewell to Arms, Brave New World, Benji on His Own, The Thornbirds and Huckleberry Finn. "As you can see, this is not exactly a reasonable attack, but it's working," Sutherland said.

Senate passes contraceptive bill By Donna Bennett Two important pieces of legislation were passed by the Student Senate in their weekly meeting. Resolution 82-109, concerning the purchase of contraceptives, passed with little dissent. The bill authored by Mary Kelly, Gavin McInnis and Joe McCourry would change the discriminatory practices concerning the purchasing of contraceptives from the Student Health Center. Senators stressed the point that students

would be encouraged to buy the birth control pill or condoms for non-student spouses. Resolution 82-110 passed without difficulty. The bill called for the inclusion in information pamplets of material concerning majors and financial statues for foreign students. Senator Craig McVay amended the resolution to strike the word foreign, stating the information should be available to all prospective students. The bill and amendment

passed without difficulty. Sen. David Ball tendered his resignation from the senate due to business concerns and President Tim Reese appointed Rodney Davis with the approval of the senate. Parlimentarian Mike Anderson, chairman of the Terry Pierce Fund Raising Committee, informed the senate body of the progress being made to raise the money needed to purchase the special equipment Pierce needs.

Pierce was a Central State computer science major who was injured after an intramural wrestling match. Paralyzed from the neck down, Pierce needs special equipment with a puff-and-blow apparatus to communicate and become mobile.

Students question teaching exams By Joanne Garrett Ambiguous questions, high cost and measurement of the wrong capabilities were some of the concerns voiced by Central State University students who recently received curriculum examination scores. The tests became a state requirement for a teaching license when House Bill 1706 was passed by the state Legislatue. "I thought most of the questions were relevant, but some were ambiguous. For example, in the area of child-rearing, the answer depend on what expert you listened to," said Dena Kirby, CSU vocational home exonomics ma-

jor. "I think the concept of curriculum exams is good, but I think they jumped on it too fast and didn't get the 'bugs' worked out of it." "National Evaluation Systems, Inc. in Amherst, Mass.; contracted to develop, field test and administer the curriculum exams," said Dr. Kenneth Elsner, CSU director of student teaching. "They consulted specialists, teachers in the field and the State Department of Education." A field test was administered in October for item analysis and validity. "I wouldn't mind taking these tests if I started out with a higher

salary than someone who graduated last year. They know I'm qualified," said Bernadette Marinovich, special education major. "No matter when you set the date, somebody is going to be affected," said Elsner. "For example, when they quite giving life certificates for teaching, the requirements were raised only for those without a certificate. They have to start somewhere." "I thought the cost was prohibitive," said Pam Snapp, biology education major. "I had to pay $110. For about a month or so, I was broke." Snapp and her husband both work and go to school full time. It's possible to take eight tests during one administration, said Elsner. When results are publicized, the data reflects the number of exams administered. Nine scores could represent two people. For each adinistration, the cost is $40 for the first test, $30 for the second, $20 for the third, $10 for the fourth and $10 for each test thereafter. The number of tests required varies for each field. In general, students must pass an examination to receive certification to teach in that area.

Students must also pass an umbrella test and an area test to be able to teach in a minor area. Curriculum exam results in the newspapers do not indicate whether students studied the subject as a major or a minor area. If a person has 18 hours in their minor, they probably would not have the same level of knowledge as someone who had enrolled in 50 hours in the field, said Elsner. For this reason, some universities would not allow students with only a minor in the area to take the test. Other universities were more lenient with their requirements. In addition to the 90 credit hours set by the State Board of Education, CSU required students to be in the semester of their student teaching to be able to take the test. "Public relations is involved, because the test scores will reflect on the university," said Elsner. "We want the students to be adequately prepared to take the test, so we have set some standards. But we hope the requirements won't be so restrictive that we actually penalize the students. "I also think it's premature to give us the credit or the blame for

some of the students' scores," Elsner added. "Because CSU is in a metropolitan area and has large numbers of people who come and go, many students both work and go to school, perhaps finishing a degree program started at another school. Some students have been in the military and have accumulated 80 or 90 hours of college work at other places," said Elsner. "The best part of House Bill 1706 is the entry-year assistance," said Simmons. A committee consisting of three educators will observe and guide the licensed teacher. After one year, the committee will either recommend certification or another year of assistance. If the committee does not recommend certification after the second year, then the teacher will not be able to receive certification in Oklahoma. "I feel grateful to know that someone will be there, so I can talk to them and ask their advice," said Simmons. The curriculum exam, however, does not measure teaching ability, said Elsner. "How do you know they're goContinued on page 3

Opinion Page Letter to the Editor

Unwed mother offers Laura advice Editor's note: This letter was written in response to an article on page one of the Nov. 19, 1981 Vista, about a girl named Laura who was adopted. The author of the letter recently ran across the story and hoped this letter would be read by "Laura" and others. To The Editor: In response to the article in the paper on adoption, I would like to share an experience of mine on the subject. Along with the immensely increasing amount of teenage pregnancies and unwed mothers, I, too, became pregnant out of wedlock at a rather young age. Luckily I was well informed enough, mostly from girlfriends, of the trauma they had experienced in having an abortion. In most cases, the desired is not always the best, for the mother or child.

My intention when I decided to have the child was not to give him up for adoption, but that was the decision I made. I believe that it is every mother's desire, no matter what the circumstances might be, to raise her firstborn. But in most cases the desire is not always the best, for the mother or child. In response to the statement Laura made about fantasizing seeing her real mother: Don't ever doubt that she, too, has fantasized about seeing you

and a day will never pass the rest of her life that she will not think about you. I found in my experience that I wanted to keep that child more than anything I've ever wanted or could want in the entirety of my life and I wanted only the best for that child. The child conceived out of wedlock is usually a victim in marriages that never work out or are held together by that child only. That is a tremendous responsibility to place on a newborn, innocent child. Only God can create, and He does not make mistakes.

These unborn children do not deserve to be called a mistake. Only God can create and he does not make mistakes.

Children are not all destined to be raised by their birthmom. If that were true, then there would be many people who are unable to bear children, that could never experience the joy and pride a child can bring into their lives. Keeping a marriage together is a tremendous responsibility for a newborn.

To Laura and all the others out there who are adopted: Your mothers did not give you away because she didn't love you or because you were a mistake. She gave you up because she loved you so much that instead of disgrading you by aborting you, she choose to endure the pain of knowing you and feeling you grown inside of her, and of giving birth to you only to

let go of the one thing she loved more than life itself. Any woman that gets pregnant without wanting to get pregnant will never forget it and will have to deal with it the rest of her life. How she handles the situation is going to be how well she is able to deal with it each day. I fail to see how women and men can choose to murder an unborn child rather than give life to another human being that which God designed us so perfectly to be able to do. I believe that life is worth living no matter what the circumstances or else I would have been dead a long time ago. I believe also that everyone should have the same choice, even those not yet born into this world. The aborted don't get a choice. Name Withheld by Request

Tests produce questionable results To the Editor: The results are in on the first teacher certification tests and praise has come from numerous sources. Newspapers, college administrators, legislators and even some students have heaped plaudits on this new policy. I think it's time that people hear the other side of the issue. This testing program is ridiculous! First of all, the tests do not ensure that those who pass will be good teachers. Second, we students should not have to pay for the tests. They are, to put it mildly, expensive. I paid $120 to take six tests. Although I passed them, that's half my tuition for a semester! Where in the world are we supposed to

Retirement plan setback for U.S. By Forrest Lee U.S. Rep. Shirley Chisholm's unexptected announcement that she would not seek re-election for her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives was a setback for her constituents and black Americans nationwide. First elected to Congress in 1968, Chisholm represents New York's 12th Congressional District, which cornprises Bedford-Stuyvesant, one of the largest ghettos in the country. In 1972, she gained national prominence as the first woman and the first black to seek nomination by a major political party for the presidency. She lost that election, but her reputation as one of the most influential black legislators in Washington, D.C. remained. Chisholm fought for social programs of her district. She cited President Reagan's slashing of those social programs as one of her reasons for bowing out. Chisholm's plans after she leaves office are unknown, but black Americans will sorely miss the outstanding woman.

get this money? I get the feeling that someone is making huge profits off of this venture. A final liability of these tests is their lousiness. Questions and answers are worded ambiguously. Often there are two equally correct answers for a question. The trick is trying to figure out which response the educators want. Also, the tests do not cover all areas

equally in a subject. Certain topics are stressed while others are ignored. If this testing program is to remain with us, drastic changes are needed. In the meantime, if you are a prospective teacher who is also disgusted about these asinine tests, why not write a letter to this newspaper or another one? Let's get mad! Albert J. Abello

Editorial

Budget cuts necessary for U.S. For more than four decades Americans have become increasingly dependant on the federal government for assistance. Many have come to the conclusion that the United States government is required to take care of the financial woes of its citizens. It is time for the American public to stop freeloading. The first president in recent times who has even dared to address this problem is Ronald Reagan. His straght forwardness and courage to start cutting federal assistance has many citizens in an uproar because they are afraid that their favorite cause is going to be the first to go. This scares the American public, but it must be done now if the nation is going to get back on the track of prosperity and a strong America. Reagan's proposed budget cuts in higher education have many college students up in arms because they are afraid their grants and scholarships are going to be cut. These students may well be deserving for these aids, but everyone must sacrifice in one way or another for their country. There are hundreds of thousands of college age students who have gone to college without the help of "mom and dad" or the federal government. Going to college can be done even without government assistance. There is nothing wrong with working one's way through college. It is really

surprising how may students feel that since they are in school that they should not have a job. These are the students who feel that the government owes them a handout. These handouts are just part of the problem that has the United States in a recession. It is not the responsibility of the United States government to see that everyone goes to a college or university. None should be denied the right to attend school, but it should be up to the individual to pay for his own education.

Service time long in U.S. dictatorship Letter to the Editor: There are some things I don't do since I was released from military service. One is not to listen to officers of the military service. But I will reply to you. My service time was too long in a "dictatorship within a democracy." Who wouldn't want to volunteer if you were officer. When "King Reagan's" war starts, I'll be proud to fight with you against "all enemies foreign and domestic." Frank McBoat World Citizen

Planetarium director says 'Jupiter Effect' not a threat March is the month when the moon is in the astrological Seventh House. It is the month that Jupiter will align with the other planets in the solar system to form a planetary lineup. This astrological process is called the "Jupiter Effect" which occurs once every 180 years. According to the Kirkpatrick Planetarium director John Wharton, "on March 10, all of the planets will be on the same side of

the sun with a 90-degree quardrant. "The cause of the Jupiter Effect is natural," says Wharton. Many people have come to the conclusion that the world is coming to an end. "But this is not so," says Wharton, "no one knows when the world is going to end." Many have heard rumors that earthquakes will occur during this period. Even if the planets were lined up one behind the other,

there is no known scientific evidence that their gravitational attraction is linked to earthquake activity. "People really don't have anything to worry about, especially about Jupiter because it is far away from the Earth and the farther it is, the less gravitational force," says Wharton. "The only people who say that the world is coming to an end are the leaders of the Southern Baptist churches," he says.

"The test only measures facts. It will ensure they at least know the subject matter," he said. "If the test can somehow reestablish credibility and restore the public's confidence, then it will have made a contribution," said Elsner. "From this point, we will distribute the results and review what they mean to our program. I think it will cause us to look more closely to the curriculum exam objectives. "The economy seems to be moving away from teacher education," said Elsner. "The state minimum salary per year is $11,688. Considering the rigorous training, a young person with a

family would be making a sacrifice to start at that salary. "If you can find people who have that ability to excite and challenge students, to make them want to learn, then they have to be really dedicated to have those abilities and still stay in the classroom.

ing to be a good teacher if they pass the test?" asked Marinovich. "How do you know they would have been a bad teacher if they fail the test?" "You can't judge a teacher by a test," concurred Tom Pope, CSU physical education major. "Most who fail as teachers don't fail because they don't know the subject matter," said Elsner. "It's usually because they don't understand adolsecent or childhood behavior, don't motivate the students or don't know how to communicate with students, parents and other teacher.

"Rewards have to be more than just extrinsic things like salary. The rewards are intrinsic, like seeing someone finish school, get a job and become successful.

Leadership camp key factor in determining potential By Patrick M. Bailey A major obstacle junior class Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets encounter before entering their senior year and receiving a commission is attendance at the six week advanced summer camp held annually at Ft. Riley, Ks. Performance at this leadership camp is a key factor to determining a cadet's potential as a leader in the Army. This year's CSU junior military science class will have an advantage over their predecessors because they will get a chance to preview the summer challenge. This preview will be in the form of a mini-camp that they and cadets from East Central State Univ., Oklahoma State Univ., and the Univ. of Oklahoma will be attending at Camp Eagle in Ft. Sill Ok., during April 2-4. "The mini-camp will give them a slice of this summer's ROTC advance camp," said Major William Bache, commandant of cadets at CSU. At the mini-camp, cadets will be rotated into major leadership positions such as company commander and platoon leader three times. Lower echelon, but equally important, command positions such as squad leader, will be chaged more often giving every cadet a chance at leading people. Cadets will receive oral evaluations on their abilities in leadership roles after they finish from Regular Army instructors. The evaluations will be based on their administrative skills, initiative, motivation, oral communication ability, judgement decision making skills, and other areas based on the Army's Leadership Assesment Program. In addition to emphasizing Army leadership roles, the ROTC

students will receive a strong introduction to basic platoon size drill and ceremony techniques, land navigation, tactics, and weapon maintenance. Drill and ceremony techniques will be emphasized as they are used for a practical purpose during the weekend. The cadets will be responsible for moving large groups of people to the training areas on Ft. Sill. Cadets will gain the technical know-how of using a military map and compass to lead during land navigation instruction. Combat tactics will be practiced on tactical exercise (TAX) lanes. On the TAX lanes cadets will become orientated with the movements of a fire team, the smalest command entity within a platoon. The TAX lanes will also present problem solving situations to the cadets in leadership positions as they approach obstacles in their paths. Obstacles they could come in contact with include maneuvering troops around man-made barriers and simulated direct and indirect enemy fire situations. After the TAX lands, the cadets will have lessons on weapons maintenance, which will be useful since they will have to clean the weapons issued to them for use on the lanes. Jamey Ashford, a junior class cadet, saw the benefit of attending the weekend exercise because "it will better enable the MS III (third year military science student) to pass camp." Darla Dunlap, oral communications major and cadet executive officer for CSU's cadet corps, reflected on her experiences when she attended the Advance Camp at Ft. Riley last year. "The mini-camp will help prepare the cadets for what is to come," said Dunlap. "Like appetizers before a meal."

Students of a karate workshop held the past two weeks in the Health and Physical Education Building practice back-kicks (above). This is one of several kicks included during the course instructed by Guy Poos, a black belt karate expert. Poos demonstrated a round-house kick (right) as students look on with dismay. Kicks and punches that he displayed still blurred with demonstrated during class then at only about half his normal speed. Karate, a Oriental art of self-defense in which an attacker is disabled by crippling kicks and punches, is an offensive sport which used the attackers agressiveness against him. Karate is one of several Oriental arts'used for self-defense.

Students gain insight to AWACS Americans focused their attention on military technology last year when President Reagan advocated the sale of Advance Warning Air Command Systems (AWACS) aircraft to Saudi Arabia. The capabilities of AWACS were presented to members of Dr. Randall Jones' world politics class during a recent tour of the aircraft and its base facilities at Tinker Air Force Base. According to Air Force 2nd Lt. Kenneth R. Drysdale, a member of the world politics class, the tour was designed to enhance the students' knowledge of how military technology can change the aspects of United States influence in international relations by seeing the equipment in question. Drysdale made the initial arrangements for the tour and is stationed at Tinker. Most members of the group were "amazed" at the sophistication and cost of the equipment on the aircraft which security precautions allowed the students access to "Also, they were reassured that

it's not a waste of money," said Drysdale. The world politics students, who were accompanied by Dr. William L. Crozier, chairman of the political science department, gained a "reassurance" from the information given during the tour. The tour group first viewed a 30 minute film on the capabilities of AWACS.

Drysdale pointed out that in most disaster type situations, such as earthquakes, the accurate computerized radar system can be used for finding missing people. After viewing the film, the group had a first-hand look at the sophisticated machinery of AWACS as they were allowed to enter the non-restricted portions of one of the aircraft.

Not all the members of the world politics class were allowed to attend the tour, conducted by Tinker's Flight Training Department because of a U.S. citizenship requirement for anyone who wants to tour the area. Campus organizations that would like to arrange group tours of the AWACS facilities should contact the public affairs office at Tinker.

SPORTS

Are sports over-emphasized? By Mary Beth Berney CSU helps children learn about sports from the - pros," but not the "pros" they see regularly on television. The graduates of the school of health, physical education, anA -heath are the prolessionals'our youngsters will "teamup" with, have "contact" with, and through their skills as physical education teachers, school children will learn how to be physically fit through sports recreation. Dr. Homer Coker, chairman of the health, physical education, and recreation school, said the program at CSU focuses on the organization and administration of physical education and coaching skills of specialized sports. On the elementary level, teachers develop awareness; what bodies can and cannot do, and how body parts can be used to accomplish certain feats. Coker said that games are played that incorporate the necessity of using reading, writing, and math skills. He feels an aerobically conditioned student is in a better state of mind to learn and perform.

Has America's enthusiasm with sports gone too far?

Physical education teaches the value of heath, and gives the knowledge and understanding to develop skills in order to seek participation, Coker said. But has our enthusiasm gone too far? Sister Patricia Beckman, principal of St. Eugene grade school, said that research of the three learning methods has found the cooperative method more effective than individual or corn-

petitive. While teamwork develops positive traits, competition to be on the starting team communicates failure to the bench-sitters. This can carry over into the classroom. She said if a child is frustrated at home or a ball practice, it will show in his behavior at school. One other observation Beckman made was concerning structured time. Many children's schedules outside of class are too demanding, and as a result they don't do as well in school as they should.

John Underwood reports that teamwork, discipline and fair-play are sometimes forgotten. Ron Poole, principal of Webster middle school, said the large enrollment of public schools discourages many students. There are so many well-qualified athletes that a lot of children don't even go out for a sport because they feel they don't have a chance to make the team. He said that while all students enjoy physical education, the academic standards that the students must meet to play intramural sports is a good motivating factor. However, since all games are played during or immediately after school hours, most parents cannot attend. Poole feels the school misses a good opportunity to have valuable communication among parents, teachers, and students. Poole is also a volunteer coach for his own children. He said that the exposure athletes have with adults who are not teachers adds dimension to their development. And then there is WINNING! In the February 23, 1981 issue of Sports Illustrated, a report entitled, "A Game Plan For America", states that winning has become so important that teamwork, discipline, and fair play are sometimes forgotten. John Underwood, writer of the article, wrote, "If the lessons of sport... NINNIM 1•••■

discipline, competitiveness, teamwork...are to have value in society at large, we had better change our priorities." The report gave the opinion of Dr. Thomas Tutko, a sports psychologist; "Learning to cornpete is quite different from winning or losing. It's not the product, but the process that's good." Also, U.S. Army Colonel Pete Dawkins, Heisman Trophy halfback at West Point, speaking about fair play, said, "to win by cheating, by an umpire's error or by an unfair stroke of fate, is not really winning at all." Gallon writes that winning is part of our American heritage. It developed from the necessity to overcome hardships and has become the "American Way." Coker said if physical education is good for everybody then everybody should be able to play. He feels the direction of the new physical education for the 1980's is aerobics and an individualized approach. Whether the choice is team sport, running, or tennis, enjoyment is the goal of the fitness game; the ingredient that will insure continued earnest endeavor.

Spotlight on sports

Oops!! wrong picture By Robert Slankard Sports Editor In last Thursday's issue of The Vista the sports editor made a severe error. The track pictue on page seven was not the relay team, as stated, but instead a varitable ontage of track personel. In milder terms, it Was the wrong picture. The members of the relay team were, and still are, Robert Diggs, Rick Baker, Kenny King and Charlie Cedeno. Diggs, who was not even pictured, has the sports editor's deepest apologies and regrets for the foul up. All the members of the team should be congratulated on an outstanding performance. It might puzzle a few minds as to how the editor in question, Robert Slankard, could make such a mistake. However those who know Slankard realize he does good to just get up in the mornings. For the courious, CSU's wrestling title over the weekend was the Bronchos third overall in that sport. But CSU still trails Adams State for the most championships because ASU has won seven titles in the 20-plus years of the tournament's existence. However coach Eddie Griffin's team must be one of the youngest in the country. Todd Osborn, two-time champion Ronnie James, last year's national chainpion Benny Coleman, last year's 118 pound champion Dennis Kendrick, Mickey McGowan, AllAmerica Darren Huff, Mike Clark and Mark Allen are all sophomores. CSU's talent also dips down into the freshman ranks, where

Ricky Langland and AllAmerican Joe Starzenski will be eligible for three more years. Not to be left out is junior Robert LeGrane and two-time national champion Bill Ameen. The Bronchette softballers got their season off to a rousing start last weekend with three convincing victories at home. CSU outscored their opponents by a combined score of 22-3.

Pitcher Pam Podolec pickd up two of the wins, giving up just seven hits and no earned runs while striking out 12 batters in 14 innings of work. Laurie Buser won the other game, allowing just five hits and one earned run in seven innings. Both pitchers were helped out by good fielding as the Bronchettes committed a total of only nine errors, compared to 19 for their opponents.

Bronchos whip NWU face SWU next By Scott Munn Three home runs, a triple play and late comebacks accounted for the Bronchos 9-4 and 10-9 doubleheader wins over Northwestern State University here Tuesday. After Northwestern racked up eventual winning pitcher Kevin Ludwick in the first game for three early runs, the Broncho bats started firing up in the second inning. With CSU down 3-1, Brett Turner started a rally the hard way by getting hit by a pitch. After advancing on a fielder's choice, Scott McBride came up and ducked two wild pitchs before belting a two run round tripper over the left field fence. After the Bronchos took a two run lead in the fifth, the Rangers threatened in their half of the sixth, by putting men on first and second with no outs. Hitting nemesis Steve Nunez came up and hit a liner to Guy Hardaker, who in turn stepped on second for an

unassisted double play, then threw to Bailey at first to complete a rare triple play. Carl Peet's sixth inning three run blast over the center field wall completed the Broncho scoring. In the nightcap, the Rangers hit Ron Maxwell and David Lewellen for five early runs. Bailey quickly put the Bronchos back in the game in the third, by hitting a grand slam over the left field wall, before Turner scored in the fourth inning to tie the game at five. CSU, 2-5 on the year, broke the game open in the fifth when Peet's double drove in two runs, then scoring himself on a McBride tap to the pitcher. After the Rangers' Nunez tied the score at nine on a three run belt in the sixth, Nelson and Bailey singles helped the Bronchos score the game•winner in the sixth. Second reliever and winning pitcher Scott Boreland retired the Rangers in order in the seventh.
