Internationals praise prof By Mei Pong Staff Writer A witch in a black hat, a crooked broomstick, a jack o' lantern, a pail of pecans and a tray of sweets. Thunderous laughter and voices uttering words from "War of the Worlds" relieving the good old scary, bygone day. No, this is not a first-grade Halloween party. It is English 1153, English grammar and composition for international students, taught by Mary Spelman, lecturer at Central State University. "I think her class is bizarre, strikingly out of the ordinary, and I love it. She really tries to get us acquainted with the American culture. The students in her class come from different countries, and she understands that they might not be familiar with the culture and some of the holidays observed here like Thanksgiving Day and Halloween," said Katherine
Chiang one of her former students. Susie Chang, another former student said, "She takes great pains to understand her students. She realizes that international students have certain difficulties, and she tries to help them with any difficulties they might have. "She also posseses great perseverance and is willing to teach something over and over again. If I have to do freshman English again, I will definitely choose her all over again." Poon Kin Hung, a former student of Spelman has only praises for her dedication to her students."I have never seen someone as dedicated as she is. We used to swarm around her after class for hours asking her to explain to us various things that we did not understand. "She just stays around in spite of having other things to do. I think she never turns any of her students away," he said.
Chong Fu , a new student at CSU said "I am taking four subjects this semester and she is the friendliest and the most caring teacher that I know. She knows all her students by name. "She also makes learning vocabulary a lot of fun. She devises various games to play in class, just to make the lessons more interesting. "A lot of us in her class are new students and I guess she knows that we might have a hard time adjusting to being away from home and adapting to a new culture and environment. "At the end of each period she allots some time for her students to talk about the difficulty that they are encountering in understanding and conversing English. "If we have other adjustment problems, she will try to help us. I think the key word is that she cares. Somehow this makes a lot Please see Spelman on page 8.
By Deanette Intrieri Student Writer A Central State University graduate assistant in the creative studies department was arrested Friday in Edmond on charges of DUI and destruction of city property. Russell Thomas Bowlan, 24, of Oklahoma City, was arrested at 2:33 a.m. at 1000 S. Broadway for driving 45 mph in a 35 mph zone and driving under the influence of alcohol, the police report states. Police Sgt. Jim Turner administered a breath test to Bowlan which registered .21 percent alcohol, police reports indicate. The legal limit is .10 percent. After Bowlan was placed in a cell, he ripped a blanket into several pieces, the report states.
He then was charged with destruction of city property and transported to Oklahoma County Jail. Bowlan said people do make mistakes, but he is taking it in stride. "Things are looking better, and I am taking action in my personal life as well to make sure this doesn't happen again," he said. "But on the brighter side," Bowlan said, "while I was in the county jail, I found a lot of creative material to write about. I might be able to use it in a poem or novel later on." Bowlan has been employed at CSU since August 1988 and teaches fundamentals of creative writing I and II.

Easter celebrated by Jewish meal, seminar By Kamal Mazian Staff Writer A Passover meal held yesterday and a seminar scheduled for tonight are two events sponsored this week by the Baptist Student Union to celebrate the upcoming Easter holiday, said Suzanne Lillard, BSU associate director. Tonight at 7:30 p.m., the BSU is sponsoring a seminar titled "Plug Into God" by Robin Cowain, pastor of the Highland Park Baptist Church at 400 N. Blackwelder in Edmond. "The seminar," Lillard
said, "will deal with ways to develop a daily devotional time to talk to God through scripture readings and prayers and to learn how to be more consistent in the daily walk of a Christian." A Passover Celebration held yesterday consisted of a 30-minute service in which the symbols of the Passover meal were discussed and a meal was eaten, Lillard said. "Though Passover is a Jewish holiday," Lillard said, "Christians still need to look back at it to understand and appreciate the meaning and
significance of Easter." Lillard said the symbols of the Passover meal are bitter herbs to symbolize the bitterness of the Jews as slaves of the Egyptians; unleavened bread to symbolize the hasty exodus of the Jews to the Promised Land; lamb, which relates to Jesus Christ; and grape juice to symbolize blood. Lillard said though BSU does not have a formal membership, its activities benefits between 300 to 400 CSU students, including international students.

Viewpoints Poverty: moral and social battle By Jerry Pierce Managing Editor For years bureaucrats and economists alike have labored over the problem of chronic poverty. It's a problem that hasn't gone away despite noble efforts of the past. It's been 25 years since Lyndon B. Johnson began his "war on poverty" that was never won despite progress made through the Office of Economic Opportunity and programs such as Head Start. The "Great Society" hasn't surfaced and never will by depending heavily on government.
Editorial Today's America has some of the same problems it had 25 or 30 years ago. Rural and inner city poverty still exists. But the 1960s ushered in a drug culture that at the time seemed harmless to some but is now destined to destroy some inner-city subcultures unless it can be stopped. Add to that a populous that is getting older and a social security system that might not survive

through the next century, and the ingredients for disaster become evident. Meanwhile, birthrates among black and hispanic women, many of whom are from low-income, single-parent households, are disproportionately high. Those who can least afford to bear children are bearing the most, bringing them into a vicious cycle of poverty that no one can seem to stop. Micheal Harrington's book, "The Other America," written in 1962, opened many eyes to a lower class Harrington described as "invisible." The poor of 1989 are not invisible. Though statistics vary on how much of America is impoverished, there is little doubt chronic poverty exists today as much as yesterday in most instances. Most figures show nearly 20 percent of Americans live under some definition of relative poverty. Harrington's estimates in 1962 were similar. Today's poverty is complicated and intertwined by numerous social problems that weren't as prevalent prior to the 1960s. Of course, Harrington had never heard of "crack" or the "Grips" and "Bloods" when he wrote "The Other America." And positive role models like Jackie Robinson never got banned from major league sports because of drug use, either. What was once largely a social problem is becoming more and more a moral problem. Poverty won't be stopped by bureaucratic social programs. Government outlays can't stop teen-age pregnancy and adolescent identity problems that sometimes lead to drug abuse. People who are selfdefeated can't be motivated by political rhetoric. The United States Government is not the culprit. Neither is it the solution. Blame chronic poverty on churches who are more concerned with political action than spiritual answers. Blame it on "haves" who weren't willing to voluntarily confront the problem by assisting the "have-nots" in becoming selfsufficient. And blame the "havenots" who could have won their races but didn't persevere because of obstacles.
University Drive unsafe To the Editor: This is to all of the speed demons who challenge the pedestrians who attempt to cross University Drive. There is only a handfull of people who work at CSU who cross the street maybe four times a day near the Administration building. It's becoming a life-threatening situation when the motorists, who are going at least 40 m.p.h. and SHOULD be going 25 m.p.h., refuse to allow people to cross the street. I've seen the most INCREDIBLE situations of where people are desperately standing in the CROSS WALK in the freezing cold wind and rain for countless minutes, waiting to cross the street and not one single car stopped. UNBELIEVABLE!!! The cars proceeded at 40 m.p.h. to splash her with the puddles that filled the street and continued to speed on their way. Some people are dangerously standing in between the four lanes trying to cross, because two lanes at a time is all they are allowed before the traffic from the other direction begins to carelessly speed their way.
Letter
America will flourish as a world power again when children have fathers living in the home as positive roles models. It will flourish when the church begins taking care of the poor as Christ commanded, and when hatred is replaced by reasonable tolerance. Government bureaucrats can't and won't deliver in these crucial areas.
COME ON PEOPLE!!! That is what a CROSS WALK is for. It's not to be ignored. It's there for the safety of pedestrians when it's observed. I am amazed at how insensitive people become once they are behind the wheel of a car. It's as if nothing else matters—nothing can stop them. Not even a human being in the street.
Only when private citizens come to the rescue will America survive and flourish into the next century.
I've seen it pouring rain or dumping ice and the motorists WILL NOT STOP. They are totally unaware of anything out-
side of their toasty warm car that may cause them to slow down. Let's try a wheelchair in the cross walk in the rain. Do you think the motorists would stop then? Would you? Or is it just as tempting to speed up? What ever happened to common courtesy? Yes, there is a "LEGAL" cross
walk at the intersection of University Drive and Hurd and it is PAINTED WHITE. The next time you accelerate beyond 25 m.p.h. on University Drive, stop to think that there may be some pedestrians attempting to exercise their right to use the street too. Dianna Best
Academic athletes should have funding To the Editor: There is no denying that the athletic department should be allocated money from student activity funds. However as an academic athlete, why shouldn't I receive the same treatment when it comes to attending academic competitions?
Letter There are several students in our department, who have had their research papers accepted for presentation at regional conferences and there are no funds allocated to assist those students with either preparation or travel expenses. It takes at least a year to design, conduct, analyze the data, and write up the results for a research project, and then if it is accepted for presentation at a convention, you have to make audiovisuals and handouts for the presentation, as well as come up with the money for travel and lodging. For instance, I have been asked to present a research paper at a national convention to be held in California. Another of my papers has been accepted in a regional graduate paper competition to be held in Houston this year. My question is "Why are there not
any funds appropriated to assist me in representing CSU at the regional and national levels?" Is this not the type of representation that CSU needs in order to draw outstanding scholars and attract national recognition? I hear all this lip service about increasing the quality of higher education in Oklahoma in order to compete at the national level and draw new industry into our state. But I don't see any indications of change. We have athletic facilities for training our athletes, but we have no facilities in which to conduct academic research. Athletes receive automatic media coverage for the events in which they participate. There is a whole section of every newspaper devoted to sports alone, but even in our school newspaper, there is no specific section that highlights the activities of CSU's scholars. This incongruency illustrates the fundamental flaw in our educational system in that there is support, and recognition for our athletes but not for our scholars. Our priorities must change if we are to increase our standing in the academic community. We need to support our academic athletes as well as our sports athletes.

Driver ed meeting on tap By Bretta Barritt
Student Writer Driver education teachers and students from across Oklahoma will meet April 14 at the South Central Safety Education Institute on campus, according to assistant professor Carl Breazeale, president of the Oklahoma Driver Traffic Safety Education Association and adult sponsor of the Student Safety Association. While teachers are in a clinic discussing problems in driver and traffic safety and other issues, high school students will be competing in the 6th annual Operation Driver Excellence, a teenage safedriving program sponsored by AMVETS, Dodge and the Student Safety Association. The driving events will last from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Breazeale said. High school driver education teachers were requested to bring two of their students to drive in the state competition, which Breazeale said is basically a qualifying round for the national competition. Janet Kennedy
won the people's choice award and second place in the individual competition during the Bronze and Blue Review. (Photo by Ken Roy)

Correction In the March 2 edition of The Vista, the article "Is racism a problem here?" contained quoted material which gave an incorrect figure on the black student population at Central State University. Spring 1989 enrollment records at CSU indicate 1,006 black students attend CSU, representing less than eight percent of total student enrollment. The Vista regrets the error.

Two delegates receive OIL awards By Karl Knapp
Student Writer Awards were given to two members of the Central State University delegation to the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature (OIL) March 1-5 at the Sheraton Century Center in downtown Oklahoma City. David Slane, a CSU senior and student senator, received honors for best house delegate award. Philip Elmore, a CSU junior and student senator, received the honors for best freshman house
delegate. Elmore was also cited for participation during the session, said Terry LaFrance, student senator and chairman of the CSU delegation. LaFrance said colleges from around the state send delegations to OIL to write proposals, bills and amendments to the state constitution. They also elect members for positions such as governor, lieutenant governor and speaker of the house. The elections were held at the session, LaFrance said. OIL operates like the state
government, following the same rules and parliamentary procedure. LaFrance said OIL is a great opportunity for college students interested in learning how the state government and legislature operate. OIL meets five days in the spring and fall semesters at the Oklahoma State Capitol Building. "We use the actual rooms that the state representatives and Oklahoma State Legislature use," LaFrance said. This semester's session was held at the Sheraton Hotel in Oklahoma City because the House was in session and the rooms at the Capitol were not available. "First time delegates said they learned more from this (OIL) than from some of the government classes they have taken," LaFrance said. "Participation and teamwork, like in a basketball game, make a delegation a success." LaFrance said some schools give students credit for attending OIL and he hopes CSU will do the same.

majors—pre-law, political science, business, and journalism. About half the delegation consisted of student senate members. "I couldn't have done it (being chairman of the delegation) without the help of David Harpster (OIL speaker of the house)," LaFrance said. The CSU House members were: Kim Voyner, secretary of state; Jerry Blansett, vice president of the Student Senate; Randy Terrill, house legal counsel; Henry Fuller,

KCSU chief engineer to retire from station By Rick Taylor
Student Writer Bill Demand, chief engineer for KCSU-TV2, will retire June 14 after 18 years of service to Central State University. "It has been a long career," Demand said. A little known fact is that Demand has received much satisfaction from this position, and has also been able to be a confident to many struggling broadcast students who were ready to give it up. "I can think of several students who were ready to quit," Demand said. "They just needed some encouragement to bolster their ego when they were down." Demand was hired in August 1971 as the first full-time radio
engineer at CSU. The station needed a lot of rewiring and refurbishing, and he said he worked hard for about six months to get it back in order. "We came back on the air with stereo sound, Demand said. "About 1972, we rewired the sound system and since then it has had excellent reproduction," Demand said. The sound system has been improved since then, also. The radio station was changed from 28,500 watts to a full 100,000 watts. This was funded with a $100,000 grant from KerrMcGee Oil Company. A 400 foot antenna was also installed. Demand said he loves the work he does but plans to relax for awhile after retirement.

Sports CSU drops twin bill

Mike Sullivan
By John Lukehart
Staff Writer Central State's baseball team dropped two more games Tuesday when they traveled to Shawnee to face Oklahoma Baptist University. Junior Jay Sparks pitched for the Bronchos in the second game. Sparks went the distance, but came up short. CSU dropped the nightcap 2-1,and Sparks' record dropped to 0-3. Sigler did not think the slow start meant a disapointing season for the Bronchos. "What we really need is one game for everyone to bust loose. Then we will realize that we can score some runs and win some games," Sigler said. The Bronchos, on a four-game skid, will have several chances to get back into the win column over spring break. CSU will begin a seven-game homestand with Washburn, Kans on March 15. All games are scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
The Broncho football team started spring practice under summer-like skies Monday, in hopes of continuing the momentum they gained by last fall's season-ending four-game winning streak. Coach Gary Howard, in his 13th year at the helm, returns 20 starters off last year's 4-5 team. Approximately 65 players are presently going through spring drills. "Those four victories were against quality teams," Howard said. "We feel we can play against anybody now." Intramural basketball playoff scores...

Women netters fall to OCU By Andrew Smith
Staff Writer The Central State ladies tennis team managed to pull two match victories from their defeat on Tuesday at Oklahoma City University, giving CSU an overall record of 7-2. One singles ladies match was won by CSU sophomore Shannon Sharp, defeating Shannon Clark of OCU 7-5, 6-1. One doubles match was won by sophomore Jennie Biswell and junior Julie Skelton in three sets over their OCU opponents 6-4, 1-6, 6-3. "This was the first time OCU has beaten us in four years," Coach Francis Baxter said. "Plus they have really upgraded their tennis program this year.
"They are possibly in the top 10 teams in the NAIA. Their top three girls are quite possible AllAmerican candidates," he said. "We did pretty well against them. Our girls don't like to lose,
Staff Writer The Broncho softball team split a double-header with Barton County Community College Tuesday at the Softball Hall of Fame. During warm up of game one, senior catcher Sheryl Dawson was injured and unable to play when she was hit by the ball. "Losing Sheryl hurt us early. She is one of the team's leaders," said Coach Jerry Pinkston. CSU managed only three hits as BCCC won the first game 12-4. In game two, a large dust storm blew in early and seemed to affect both teams. Senior Jane Kajs started on the mound and allowed only one hit before being replaced by freshman Jacquie Stephens.

Neither team was able to score, sending the game to extra innings. Both teams were allowed to place base-runners on second base in hopes of breaking the tie. BCCC scored first after loading the bases, taking the lead 2-1. CSU retaliated when sophomore Kelly Browning put down a bunt that scored junior Leslie Leggett. Finally, in the tenth inning the Bronchos captured the victory; Testerman knocked in Stephens giving them the win 3-2. "We did not play as good as we can. We are a better ball team and we could have made a lot fewer mistakes than we did today. The Bronchos compete again March 17-18 in the Pittsburg State Tournament in Pittsburg, Kans.

The weightroom is now open to all faculty, staff and students from 1:30-10 p.m Monday through Friday and 1-5 p.m. on weekends, said athletic director Skip Wagnon. With the football team begining spring practice Monday, the facility will reopen from 1:30-5 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, time previously reserved for the team's lifting workout, Wagnon said. "The weightroom will be closed while events are being held at Broncho Field House," Wagnon said. "And the people who use the weightroom facilities will have access to 30 machines and hundreds of pounds in free weights." Three new Eagle machines were donated to the school in the fall by Anthony Cruse, an Oklahoma City physician, Wagnon said. The weightroom also has Nautilus and Universal machines and is always supervised by an attendant to ensure safety, Wagnon said. "Individual athletes will still be using the weightroom," he added, "but no time will be reserved for an athletic group."

Spelman Continued from page 1 of us feel that Americans are friendly and caring people," said Chong Fu, a new student from Hong Kong. Spelman says she uses a lot of methods to try to make her classes interesting because most of her students are business majors.
"Grammar can be really boring, especially during afternoon classes. I just use different methods to keep them awake. Although this is a composition class, I try to get the students to converse with each other in English since they. need to put what they have learned into verbal practise," Spelman said.
In some of the articles that my students wrote, they talk about having servants at home to do their laundry and cooking and here they have to do all these themselves. Their parents and their servants are no longer here to take care of their needs. "American students face the same problem too except that most of them can still take their laundry home to their parents during the weekends," she said. Spelman said that some of her students have difficulty adjusting loses he gets no points." to the culture.

"I care more for them since a lot of them are still a bit stunned about America. They are not used to the culture. Like most Americans they missed home being so far away from home for the first time.
Lucas wins CSU chess title By Andrew Smith Student Writer Richard Lucas won last weekend's CSU chess tournament, which was sponsored by the Student Association in University Center. Twelve players competed in the two-day tournament, which lasted 18 hours. Lucas was declared the winner in the Swiss system chess tournament, competing with Soong Por Chew for the firstplace title. Both had five points, but Lucas defeated Chew in the fourth round of the tournament. "Lucas use to play for the United States Chess Federation," Student Association Sen. Sean
Slavin said. "He was the oldest competitor there." Second-place winner was Chew, whose only loss went to Lucas. third-place winner was Mehdi Shaaf, first place winner in the 1987 tournament, who defeated Lucas in the second round. Fourth-place winner was Mathews Varughese, a two-time consecutive fifth-place winner in the previous years. "The competition was very stiff," Slavin said. "They were all good players. "We used the Swiss system," Slavin said. "If a player wins a game, he gets a point. If he draws then he gets half a point, and if he
Today marks birth of free speech, press Today is recognized by the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) as the anniversary of Freedom of Information. "Although many Americans associate the First Amendment of the Constitution with journalism, the true intention of our founding fathers was to protect each citizen from excessive government oppression," said Leah Tennison, CSU chapter president. Tennison said people should remember the constitution prohibits congress from making any laws abridging freedom of speech, or of the press. "The local chapter of the SPJ encourages each student, journalist or not, to be aware of their constitutional right to express themselves through published
Spring break nears for CSU When only five out of 20 Central State University students turn up for a class this week, the instructor knows instinctively the reason. Yes, spring break at CSU is just around the corner March 20-24. "The whole campus will be shut down during spring break, except security," said Rex Humphrey, director of student activities at CSU. Humphrey said his office did help to organize two spring break tours to Acapulco and South Padre Island for CSU students but "we didn't get any response." Residence halls at CSU will also close for spring break at 4 p.m. Friday. They will reopen 1 p.m. March 24. However, said Scott Lumry, resident head of Thatcher Hall, about 25 CSU students will remain in the hall during the break, paying $28 for application and $35 for the week or any part of the week. Murdaugh, West and East halls will be closed, Lumry added.
material," Tennison said. "Without the First Amendment people would be denied the right to truth. It is for this reason each individual should take action to assure government officials do not attempt to limit these freedoms." In a recent case in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma's horse racing commission attempted to license reporters covering pari-mutuel betting at Remington Park. The commission claimed that unsavory people, such as those wishing to tamper with a horse or jockey, might abuse the access granted to reporters, Tennison said. "This case is just one example of the problems that arise when government attempts to restrain freedom of speech and of the press," Tennison said, "and the reason why each citizen should be concerned and involved."
