J.C. Penney CEO to visit

W.R. Howell, chairman and chief executive officer of the J.C. Penney Company, Inc. will speak March 30 at a luncheon being hosted by the Nigh Institute of State Government and the college of business administration.

The 11:45 a.m. luncheon in

University Center Ballroom is cosponsored by the Edmond Area Chamber of Commerce and the Edmond Industrial Development and Redevelopment Authority.

Howell's visit is being made possible through a communitywide effort to bring distinguished

Stehr, Terrill to run for student president Two juniors, Randy Terrill and Joe Stehr, announced their candidacy for Student Association president in a meeting held Tuesday in the Seminole Room of University Center.

Elections for Student Association officers will be conducted April 5 in the second-floor lobby of University Center.

Terrill is a political science and economics major and is a student senator representing the college of liberal arts.

Stehr is a marketing and management major and has served on Student Senate for two years representing the college of business.

If elected, Terrill said he would like to increase communication with the Oklahoma Legislature

concerning tuition increases, have the copy machines in the library repaired, and work toward having old campus tennis courts made into parking lots buildings. His main concern is student activity fees.

"I think students should have some real and definite input into the way their student activity money is spent," Terrill said. "I do not think that any campus organizaton or department should suffer at the hands of individuals who are ill-prepared to make decisions concerning expenditures in those areas."

Terrill's other activities include serving as president of Thatcher Hall and membership in the

corporate executives to campus, said former Oklahoma Gov. George Nigh, who heads the Nigh Institute and is Distingiushed Statesmen in Residence at CSU. A native of Claremore, Howell began his career with the J.C. Penney Company in 1958 as a management trainee in Tulsa and subsequently held a variety of store management positions, including managing the Shepherd Mall store in Oklahoma City, Nigh said.

Following his transfer to the company's New York headquarters in 1971, Howell began his rise through the corporate ranks which resulted in him being named chairman of the board and chief executive officer on Sept. 1, 1983.

His rise from a typical background to the upper echelons of the J.C. Penney Company should serve as an inspiration to today's college students, 'said Nigh, who is a member of the J.C. Penney board of directors and a friend of Howell's for more than 15 years.

Howell guided the company through the relocation of its corporate headquarters from New York City to Plano, Texas, in an

A private, employee review hearing was held Tuesday to discuss the job performance and status of Nimrod Chapel, physical plant director at Central State University.

Pending the outcome of the hearing, which was conducted by Director of Personnel Blanche Washington, Chapel had been suspended with pay from his position.

President Bill Lillard said that such a suspension is standard operating procedure when an employee's performance is called into question.

He said the director of personnel conducts a hearing to point out areas of administrative concerns and allows the employee to respond or furnish an explanation, if necessary. The director reviews the response and then issues a recommendation to the president. The employee, if in disagreement with findings, has the right of appeal to the president.

Scott Fern, assistant attorney general, said he could not comment on the outcome of the hearing, but said possible consequences range from reinstatement to disciplinary action to further review.

A state investigative audit of the university's financial operations revealed that nine maintenance employees submitted

timesheets totaling approximately 6,730 hours of overtime.

The audit report stated: "Based on the fact that the Director of maintenance employs these same nine University employees in his private asbestos removal business and he approves employees' timesheets, there is a question of segregation of duties from the standpoint of internal control."

Chapel's attorney, Tim Mitchell, said "it's hard to say" what the outcome of the hearing will be.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has been asked by Attorney General Robert Henry and the Board of Regents of Please see Audit on page 8.

Prof recoups from surgery Dr. Ray Tassin, chairman of the journalism department, is recuperating at Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City following surgery for a blood clot on his brain.

Tassin's wife, Martha, said Monday's surgery went well and Dr. Tassin is expected to fully recuperate.

"He looks good and his color is good," Mrs. Tassin said.

It is not known yet how long he will be in the hospital.

Dr. Tassin has been employed at CSU since 1961.

CSU grad, astronaut to lecture at SNU An Oklahoma space pioneer will return to her hometown of Bethany April 4 as guest speaker of the Grace Sciences Lectures, hosted by the natural and biological science departments at Southern Nazarene University.

Writer says adjuncts are qualified Dear Editor: The March 7 issue of The Vista published students' responses to the question "How do you feel about the use of adjunct professors and graduate assistants, and by using them, do you think excellence in education is being maintained?" These responses were both positive and negative.

However, I detected a misconception concerning graduate assistants and adjunct professors. Do students believe that graduate assistants and ad junct professors are the same? If so, maybe a clarification is needed.

However, another situation has been developing. Adjunct teaching is becoming a full-time occupation. Referred to as "fulltime" adjuncts, "freeway flyers," "circuit teachers," among other names, they may teach at two, three, or even four different colleges in a given area. They are professional teachers even though they are sometimes perceived differently because they are not "full

time and tenured." "Full-time" adjuncts do not receive any benefits such as health insurance or retirement (except FICA), and their salary varies greatly between schools (from $300 to $800 per credit hour.)

I write about this "profession" from personal experience. I drive the freeways of Oklahoma City, juggling schedules of up to 18 hours of teaching. I have as many

as five preparations to keep track of, different textbooks to use, and oftentimes, little or no office space. (At CSU I do have a shared office!)

For those who do not believe they are receiving quality education because their professor is an adjunct, please understand that most adjuncts are diligent, concerned, and dedicated professional teachers and scholars.

Sports not only benefactor of fees

-

First, graduate assistants are students as well as teachers.

Graduate assistants are closely supervised and (at least in the English department) required to attend a methods class. They are limited to six hours of actual teaching. For this work, they receive a stipend.

Adjunct professors are qualified teachers who have earned their degrees already. Some professors have their M.A.'s; some have Ph.D.'s. Their pay is determined by the level of their degrees. Some adjunct professors work full time somewhere else and teach to earn a little extra but primarily because they love teaching.

Other activities funded

By Darl DeVault

Guest Writer After looking into criticism of student activity fees usage at CSU, I have come to the conclusion the controversy is more a symptom of "growing pains" than a sinister plot to fund the varsity athletic program—as some would lead you to believe.

The administration is currently dealing with problems brought about by an explosion in enrollment, and stressed from logistical juggling necessary even to provide classrooms. It doesn't seem to be able to address what to me is a public relations omission.

Many students read an article written by Chip Minty in the Daily Oklahoman that stated varsity athletics is the sole benefactor of

our activity fees; in fact, many other student activities are funded through these fees.

After some research, I am satisfied my money has gone to fund activities that 1, as a student, can take advantage of while on campus, without ever attending an athletic event.

Perhaps the university should allocate the manpower and resources needed to prepare a booklet outlining those activities the students have access to through the payment of fees.

Once this booklet is produced and distributed, many students will be amazed to find just how widely their activity fees are dispersed throughout the campus. There really are few areas of the students

lives that aren't touched by the expenditures of these fees.

People confuse this issue with the on-going legal questions surrounding an investigative audit ending June, 1987.

I am not going into specifics as to what my research has shown me to be the emphasis of the spending of the fees, but I assure you the activity fees pay for far more than varsity athletics.

Those individuals raising the ruckus over the fees should have channeled their energy into researching the situation and pushing the university to publicize activity fees expenditures. Then we could have put this issue behind us a month ago.

Math conferences scheduled at CSU

By Mei Pong Staff Writer Dr. Herbert Hauptman, Nobel Prize winner for chemistry, and many other renowned mathematicians will speak at two combined conferences held at Central State University March 31-April 1.

Dr. G. Kay Owens, dean of college of mathematics and science, said the scheduled conferences include the 51st annual OklahomaArkansas sectional meeting of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and the fifth annual CSU Conference on Applied Mathematics. A workshop on teaching "mathematical modeling" will also be held.

"The Oklahoma-Arkansas sectional meeting is held in Oklahoma during odd years. We are having two conferences at the same time since it is not feasible to hold two separate conferences at a different time," Owens said.

The conference will draw 200 or more mathematicians, educators and scholars and will allow the reporting and sharing of mathematical research in different areas. Students can also present their papers if they have research to report, Owens said.

Featured speakers will include Hauptman, who will speak at the Conference on Applied Mathematics and Dr. Boris D. Lubachevsky of the AT&T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, who will speak during the general session.

Other speakers for the MAA sectional meeting include Dr. Alan Tucker, head of the department of applied mathematics and statistics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and Dr. Hyman Bass, professor of mathematics at the Columbia University in New York City.

Owens said Hauptman will speak about "The Phase Problem of X-ray Crystallography" at the opening session of the Conference of Applied Mathematics at 9 a.m.

March 31 in the math and computer science department.

Both Tucker and Bass will speak March 31 during the MAA

Nobel Prize Winner, Dr. Herbert Hauptman will be honored on Friday, March 31, on Central State University campus.

The event will be held in the Heritage Room at 4:30 p.m.

Dr. Hauptman, who won the coveted prize in Chemistry in 1985 is at present President and Research Director at the Medical Foundation of Buffalo, and Professor of Biophysical Science at the State University of New York at Buffalo.

Dr. Hauptman, in addition to winning the Nobel Prize, has pioneered the development of many modern drugs through his Hauptman work on the methods of determining crystal structures in three dimensions, working out equations and procedures for analyzing data obtained by the irradiation of single crystals by x-rays.

This research led ultimately to the structures atomic levels.

Adding to the many credits and honors Hauptman has received include the 1984 Patterson Award, presented by the American Crystallographic Association, and numerous books, reviews and research papers.

Veterans' benefits to expire Dec. 31

By Lori Aronson Student Writer Benefits for many Vietnam Era veterans attending higher education institutions will expire Dec. 31, according to an announcement made by the Veterans Administration.

The announcement will affect 60,000 veterans now enrolled in colleges nationwide who receive educational benefits under Chapter 34 of the GI Bill of Rights.

According to the latest figures, CSU has 480 veterans enrolled, of those 151 are receiving Chapter 34 benefits, said Ken Young, Veterans Affairs administrator.

Veterans should check on tneir eligibility, Young said, and veterans that now qualify under Chapter 34 may also be eligible for other benefits.

"Veteran's groups are working to get Congress to extend the deadline." Young said. "I've written both my congressmen and know of several others who have too."

For more information, veterans should contact the Veterans Affairs office in Room 108 of the Administration Building or call ext. 2578. They may also contact the VA Regional Office at Muskogee by calling its toll free number, 1-800-482-2800.

Feelings divergent about Greek system

By Keith Purtell Student Writer One of the constant features of college life is the presence of the Greek system. Fraternities and sororities have coexisted with universities almost from the beginning.

At Central State University, as at other universities, feelings about the value of Greek organizations are deeply divergent. Images of beer-swilling fraternity boys and their hazing rituals conflict with the noble statements of purpose printed in Greek publications.

If the over-riding purpose of enrollment at CSU is to acquire a quality education, are the Greeks in line with the majority of the student body? Does the Greek system facilitate the process of higher education for those students who are members?

"Definitely yes. That's something I feel strongly about," said Dale Cebert, president of the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity.

"The bonds you develop with people throughout the Greek system help you have a good solid foundation for developing good study habits, a good social life, and just an overall well-rounded college experience."

worked with a girl who joined a sorority. She told me that even though they were in a study hall, all they did was sit and babble, and listen to head phones.

They never studied.'

Leah Tennison Cebert, a senior studying business, said the friendships made in Greek social activities can carry over for any graduate who plans to enter the business field.

"The majority of CEO's in Fortune 500 companies are greeks," Cebert said. "They have learned to excell in whatever area they get into. A lot of Greek life is learning how to deal with the people in college, and not just staying in your cubbyhole and studying.

It develops communication skills."

But such enthusiasm is not shared by all students. Mark Davis, a graduate student majoring in higher education and journalism, explained why he feels the Greek system is expendable.

"I think it's just a social outlet, and not necessary for the running of the school," Davis said. "If the school can go on without it, then it's not facilitating the learning process. I once walked by the cafeteria while some fraternity pledges were out in front making barking noises and acting like dogs. It was some kind of humiliation thing. Give me a break."

Davis said he has not decided whether the Greeks should be banned from college campuses.

"They're not any worse than some of the other little activity groups that are functioning with school money and don't serve any educational purpose," Davis said.

"They're all just more or less social groups."

Sororities also may suffer from an image problem, said Carlene Seutter, a junior studying elementary education, and president of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority.

"People have this notion that we're all just stuck-up snobs," Seutter said. "Sometimes we are, probably, but I'm not a snob and I really hate when people call me that. People should give us a chance before they make a generalization."

Suetter described the academic requirements for any female student interested in being a member of the sorority.

"The pledges are required to make their grades before they can be initiated," Suetter said, "and they have to maintain their grades to remain in good standing. If they do not make their grades they have to come back for another semester and try again. They are no longer a pledge if they don't make it the second semester in a row."

Jill Green is a senior studying advertising. She is a member of Delta Zeta and a past president of PanHellenic, which sets guidelines for all sororities. Green emphasized the importance of being serious about education.

"To do anything in the Greek system you have to make your grades," Green said. "To be initiated or to be in office you have to make good grades. We have academic advisors that are alums that help us out. We have test files and professor files; we have a whole program. We have one girl; all she does is academics. We have very elaborate academic programs."

The idea that sororities have academics as a priority was met with some skepticism by Leah Tennison, a junior who is doublemajoring in public administration and magazine journalism.

"I think it's ridiculous," Tennison said. "I worked with a girl who joined a sorority. She told me that even though they were in a study hall, all they did was sit and babble, and listen to head phones.

They never studied. Anything was O.K. as long as they showed up a certain number of hours each week."

Tennison claimed that her friend's failure in college was due in part to involvement with the Greek system.

"She came here as a freshman with a journalism scholarship.

She would show up for work and just be worn out," Tennison said.

"They would keep her at the sorority house until all hours. On one night she had to go to a meeting, the next one she had to clean house, the next one was something else. Finally she dropped out of school.

"She told me one story about a couple of pledges who were left behind while the others went to hide out from the members," Tennison said. "When they wouldn't tell the members where the other pledges were hiding, they got sprayed with a ton of spray-starch until they told.

Stupid things like that, my gosh, how intellectual is that? I'd like to know what their average grade point is."

Dr. John George, professor of political science, said Risarcher has lived in several Central American countries and has traveled extensively throughout the others.

Risarcher, who is originally from the Washington, D.C. area, said she hopes to educate people to the way Central America actually is. She said she believes a lot of people are misinformed about the country.

"Her viewpoint will be slightly leftist," George said.

Some of the topics to be covered are the revolutionary movements that are occurring, the influence of communism, and the United States and other countries' involvement in Central America.

By Randy Anderson Student Writer Central State University baseballers finished their spring break by splitting a doubleheader with Mankato State of Minnesota last Saturday.

Senior pitcher Tom Schrieber won his fourth game by allowing five runs on six hits. Schrieber outlasted Mankato State as he pitched the entire seven innings.

CSU's offense took it from there. The Bronchos mounted three scoring attacks in the first, third and fourth innings. The Bronchos managed 10 runs on 11 hits.

In the second game, the Bronchos scored 14 runs; however, it was not enough to out do Mankato State. They outscored

By Andrew Smith Student Writer Central State's tennis teams returned this week with a full schedule of matches awaiting them.

The men's team dropped two matches at the Sunshine Intercollegiate in Ardmore March 25-26, after having confronted Cowley County Junior College of Kansas on Tuesday with a 6-3 victory.

"We played a pretty good match," Tom Schmidt, captain of the men's tennis team said. "The other teams played during spring break. We didn't, but we managed to play well."

The Bronchos will take on Bethel of Indiana Friday, Oklahoma City University Saturday morning, and Oklahoma Baptist University Saturday afternoon.

In their first match since March 16, the Lady Bronchos contested Cowley County on Tuesday, losing 8-1 to Cowley County, followed by Oral Roberts University

Wednesday.

"Cowley County looked pretty good," said freshman Wendy Berger. "The guys played them in the fall. They won in the fall, 8-1.

This is our first time to play them."

"We haven't played as a team in 10 days," assistant coach Mike Heppler said. "The girls are a little inconsistant. Our ultimate goal is working toward District 9 and the Lone Star Conference.

"We're a young team. Both men and women," he said.

"We'll get better, gain more confidence with time."

The lineup for this match was changed. Jennie Biswell, sophomore, still retained her No. 1 seed, but former No. 2 seed, Anna Britton, freshmen, was moved to 4th seed, placing senior Raquelle Willette and junior Julie Skelton as 2nd and 3rd seeds respectively.

CSU's women will host Bethel of Indiana on Friday, followed by East Central State at 1:30 p.m. on April 4.

CSU by one and posted a 15-14 victory. Both teams lit up the scoreboard with 16 hits.

During springbreak, the baseball team hosted eight doubleheaders, winning 11 and losing five.

CSU's struggling offense, which had produced only 19 runs in the first 10 games, busted loose.

The Bronchos exploded for 146 runs in 16 games, including four victories by the 10-run rule.

Before the break, junior pitcher Dave Sigler said the difference between the Bronchos winning or losing was their coming up empty with men on base.

Sigler injured his back over the break and will probably sit out the remainder of the season.

Lady Bronchos finish fifth in Pittsburg State tourney

By Randy Anderson Student Writer The Central State softball team tied for fifth in the Pittsburgh State Softball Classic March 16th and 17th in Pittsburgh, Kan., going 2-3 in five games.

The Lady Bronchos, ranked 16th in the NAIA, defeated Baker College 15-5 but later lost to Northeastern 7-0 and Tarkio, Mo., 1-0. Tarkio eventually won the tournament.

In Saturday's action the Bronchos put it on Missouri Western 7-3 before losing in the quarterfinals to powerful Wichita State.

"I was real pleased with the performance of all the substitutes," Coach Gerry Pinkston said.

The Lady Bronchos crushed

Baker College, pounding out 15 hits and allowing freshman Kelly Powell to pick up the pitching win.

The Bronchos struggled in a 7-0 loss to Northeastern, but played better in a 1-0 defeat to Tarkio, which scored its only run on CSU errors.

On Saturday, CSU overcame an early surge and whipped up on Missouri Western 7-3.

"We were constantly putting players in positions they were not used to playing," said Pinkston.

"Players were having to adjust to positions that they were not real familiar with."

"Our hitting is really coming through, and we really played well, considering all our injuries," Pinkston said.

CSU golf team defeats Chinese National group

By Mike Sullivan Sports Editor Central State defeated the Chinese National Golf Team 13-5 March 16, at Kickingbird Golf Course in Edmond, but only after China's Wen-Jun (pictured above) took medalist honors after posting a 4-overpar 74.

Broncho sophomore Chris

Carpenter was low man for CSU with a 75, while sophomore Brett Guillot and juniors John Shelley and Tim Adler shot 76s.

The meet marked the third stop in a six-week tour of the United States for the Chinese National Team, the first group from that country to leave without an official escort from the Chinese government.

"It was a great experience for our players and a very enjoyable one," said Broncho golf coach Skip Wagnon. "We had a lot of fun out there, and I hope we can do it again someday."

Audit

Continued from page 1 Oklahoma Colleges to examine the audit report, Fern said.

Primary concerns focus on overtime hours for CSU employees and the CSU Foundation's relationship to the university, he said.

Other unresolved issues specified in the audit findings include cash advances to faculty sponsors for student activities, inventory control, and the repayment of certain funds wrongfully deposited in CSU Foundation accounts, Lillard said.

The university takes exception to the auditor's assertion that according to state statute, cash advances for travel vouchers cannot be made. This issue is a question of interpretation of law, he said.

The president noted that most universities pay authorized travel expenses in advance for facultysponsored student activities where off-campus trips are concerned.

He said it would be impractical for a coach or faculty member to pay for all expenses incurred and then be reimbursed, particularly when a large group or overnight travel is involved.

Inventory control of equipment is another exception, Lillard said.

The audit report advised that equipment would be better accountable if faculty did not freely exchange it.

Lillard said limited resources and their great demand necessitate the sharing of some supplies.

"It's more practical," he said.

Continued from page 1 effort to better manage its operations by becoming more centrally located.

"Middle America today has the oppurtunity to serve all of the U.S. from a strategic geograpical location," Nigh said. "Penneys found they could maintain the company better from a central location."

Howell's luncheon engagement will make him accessible to the campus community as well as the business community of Edmond and metropolitan Oklahoma City.

He will appear at the J.C. Penney "Golden Rule" banquet in Oklahoma City during which the company will honor volunteers and charitable organizations. The banquet is co-sponsored by the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce.

He will speak to a gathering of several business classes on March 31, before leaving for Tulsa to be honored at a luncheon sponsored by the Tulsa and Claremore chambers of commerce.

Howell serves on national boards, including the Exxon Corporation, Warner-Lambert Cornpany, NYNEX Corporation, Banker's Trust and the National Retail Merchants Association.

He holds membership in the Business Council, the Business Roundtable, the National Retail Merchants Association Executive Committee, the American Retail Federation, the American Society of Corporate Executives and many other professional organizations.

He serves on the boards of the National Urban League, the United Way of America and the National Organization on Disability and is vice-chairman of the National Corporate Leadership Program and the Corporate Fund for the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

He received his bachelor's degree in business management in 1958 from the University of Oklahoma and received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from St. Peter's College in New Jersey.

Another point still in question in the audit report involves a diversion of funds to the CSU Foundation's account to support athletic activities.

Specifically, athletic game guarantees (funds received from other schools competing against CSU) should be deposited directly to the university's general account, according to state statute.

The foundation had no authorization by law to receive or disburse such funds, according to the audit report.

Linda Grantham, chairwoman of the regents' audit committee, said the foundation's board of directors met, agreed to repay the money and made arrangements to do so.

Clifton Scott, state auditor and inspector, said much progress has been made toward the resolution of the 32-recommendation audit report that focused on the procedures, controls, and financial information of CSU for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1987.

A full report evaluating the university's response to the 'recommendations will be made March 31 by both the state auditor's office and the university at the regents' next meeting in Durant, he said.

Scott expressed satisfaction with the response and cooperative effort demonstrated by CSU administration and said most of the audit findings were corrected immediately.

Correction In the March 9 edition of The Vista,

the article "Artificial Intelligence Class Offered" on page 3 contained a factual error which said the course is offered for the first time at Central State University. The AI course was taught at CSU about three years ago for two semesters in a row by Dr. Paul Fitzer, computer science chairperson. The Vista regrets the error.
