Minorities request English II By Marie Knupke Student Writer A resolution requesting that English II or a second language be offered at Central State University on a trial basis next year was submitted Monday to the Student Government Association. Resolution 90-131 was written because minority students at SA race relation meetings have expressed in interest in taking an English II class to enhance their communication skills. "This is the first step in taking the recom-

mendations offered during a race relations meeting and providing results," said David Slane, student association vice-president. Other priorities for the race relations committee include researching the percentage of scholarships that go to minorities in proportion to minority enrollment. Sub-committees will be formed to conduct the research through thc, SA President's office, Slane said. Another priority is to evaluate the number of incidents on campus that are racerelated and how they were handled. "We will use the information as an indicator to see if the incidents are 'isolated'

cases or a significant problem," Slane said. Increasing publicity for the committee is another priority, although SA funds are limited. "If there is not enough money, we will fmd the money," Slane said. Funds will go toward such things as buying a Public Broadcasting System film entitled, "Racism 101," to use as reference material on campus, he said. The film is strictly about racial problems on college campuses. SA senator Kenneth Haynes said, "It brought out some things I've actually seen here on CSU's campus." V

Campus-wide evaluation starts next fall By Penny Owen Student Writer

A growing need for colleges and universities to be accountable for their performance has set the Central State University assessment task force to work developing a campus-wide evaluation program to start next fall, officials said. The task force, comprised of a representative from each college, administration officials, two deans and two students, researched 12 institutions similar to CSU to fmd new and better ways of tracking collegiate progress, said Academic Affairs Assistant Vice President Dr. Albert Lynd. "Assessment is a very big issue in higher education nationally. This is the first organized attempt of CSU to be accountable to its public," Lynd said. "Plus we see a growing mistrust of higher education on the part of the public." People today want to see proof of what colleges are doing, what kind of students they're turning out and how money is spent, task force leader Lynd said. Last spring, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education met with the trustees of all Oklahoma colleges and universities to stress more accountability and efficiency within the system, said state regents Director of Communications Jeanie Edney. "We encouraged campuses to focus resources on programs in demand and shift resources from programs not in demand by eliminating those programs," she said. Lynd cited degree programs, student services, and faculty and student performance as targets for assessment. Firm methods aren't established yet, but among those being considered are a standard test for students completing 60 hours, more follow-up on alumni, and specialized testing of V See CAMPUS, back page. ,>•

EDITORIAL

Beating the truth out of our courts he trend toward contemporary conservatism in America has done little more than whittle away individual rights, and the most recent example came last week, when the U.S. Supreme Court veered from previous rulings prohibiting the use of coerced confessions in court. According to the high court's decision, the use of a confession that has literally been clubbed out of the accused can now be deemed a "harmless error" in an otherwise fair trial.

This ruling would have astonished earlier courts. And indeed, last week's decision should raise the level of suspicion among all American citizens. After all, forced confessions have been suspect in federal cases since 1897, and state courts followed suit in 1936. The court has said in decisions dating back to 1884 that confessions are coerced and unconstitutional if not made "freely, voluntarily and without compulsion or inducement of any sort." Since then, confessions obtained through physical beatings and psychological ploys have been ruled inadmissible as evidence in a series of decisions. However reprehensible testimony extracted through the use of violent back-room beatings may be, today's court seems willing to let law enforcement officials fmd ways to allow juries access to that information. But the court's move away from traditional judicial thought is really not surprising, considering the language used in the decision is the work of Chief Justice William Rehnquist and four other appointees of Presidents Reagan and Bush. Unfortunately, the 5-to-4 ruling suggests these appointees are devoted more to ideological agendas than to legal principle, a fear that's been tucked away in the American mind since Reagan's first Supreme Court appointment. The high court's latest move to limit constitutional rights is just that: their latest move. Who knows what the court's next move will be? The criminal justice system in this country is falling pitifully below its exalted beginnings, and contemporary conservativism is the culprit.

Coeds want storm warning

n March 26 between the time of 11:45 p.m. and 12:15 a.m. Oklahoma County was under a tornado warning. During the entire warning not once did the head resident or assistant head resident announce over the intercom that we were under a warning. Nor did they come to the floors and let the residents know what to do, in case of a tornado. We haven't received any information on

what to do in the event of a tornado. We feel that as residents living on campus we should be notified in cases of life and death. We do fmd it very ironic, however, that the dorm staff allows the houseboys to use the intercom to call each other by derogatory names and basically play on the intercom. Also it is used to get all "male shoppers" out of the store, i.e. no-

tify male visitors that visitation is over. Usually Suzanne Tower, the head resident, takes at least five minutes in total to get the "male shoppers" out. They can also use the intercom to sing Christmas songs during Finals Week. At a time when we need to study. How funny that they cannot take one minute to use the intercom to save lives.

Reader gripes about racism ince the beginning of formal education there has been racism. Generation after generation has had to fight racism in many areas. One very noticable area is that of education, particularly higher education. In the classroom, minorities have had to fight racism. There are many reasons teachers, student and administrators give for their unfairness, for such reasons as parental guidance and community pressure. In any case, these reasons are only excuses. We all must

realize the fact that there is no excuse for racism. I feel we, as a society, can do away with our racist attitudes. Just as racism was bred into our thinking at a young age, we can breed attitudes of equality into the generations to come. Education is the Key. We as a society must start now and make an effort to first educate ourselves. We must realize that God created all men equally, with no exceptions. We can continue the process by educating our young children about equality, not racist ideas.

One alternative would be informing them that you shouldn't judge people by their color, but but by their personality. Nothing is impossible. We have accomplished many tasks as Americans. As an educated society, it is time we realized what is important. Race should not be a determining factor when we form an opinion of another human being.

Humanities is important too oday, many people believe that if they're not learning math or science, then it's a waste of time, because according to these people nothing else will help them get a job. This simply is not true, humanities also contributes to the job force. Humanities also helps people contribute something more to life, more meaning, a sense of understanding toward others and an understanding of our history. Without humanities mankind would be lost in the darkness and dullness of facts and figures. These people are also doomed to repeat, some not so pleasant features of history.

There is so much associated with humanities, such as music, painting, dancing, etc., that it would be almost impossible for someone not to find something they appreciated or loved. So humanities may not help balance a checkbook or fmd the square root of 49, but it does help with critical thinking, which in turn contributes to finding the answers about life everyone asks, "Do I have a purpose in this life?" The answer is there, if people would only dig deep into their souls to find it. With humanities people may find the answer has been there all along. When people decide that the

humanities is important enough to make a career out of, others often raise their eyebrows and wonder, "What kind of job can you get with that degree ... teaching?" What is wrong with teaching? True teaching the humanities or any subject for that matter doesn't always promise a lot of money, but a person who loves to teach is already rich. Not in the sense of money, but in the sense of an enriched full life. That is the importance of the humanities and no amount of money could ever add up to that fulfillment. Shaa Green CSU student

Stand up and be counted s you know the Oklahoma State Legislature i debating whether to raise the tuition is A for the next semester. OSU has come out in favor of this tuition increase, before they had not committed either way. This leaves Central State University as the only university of any size opposing the increase. The Student Government Association has been and still is working against the tuition increase. However, on this level we are only one group out of four that have been talking to the legislators up at the State Capital. If you as a college student do not want to pay a higher tuition next year we need your help. I want every college student at CSU who is opposed to a tuition increase to call your state senator and state representative and respectively tell them

your side of the story. The state senate number is 524-2711. All I am asking you to do is pick up the phone and call your state legislature. They want to hear from you. However, do not call and be rude to the legislators or we will more than likely have a tuition increase. Being rude will not only make the legislators not want to listen to you, but will also leave a bad impression of CSU. It is in your best interest to be totally professional. Another thing you might want to mention is the student activity fees. Do you want the student activity fee to go up or not? And why. Good luck, and thank you. —Deborah Lyne student senator

Student sick of CSU police

o you sometimes think that the campus police have a vendetta against you? Or do you ever ask yourself, don't they have anything better to do with their time other than ticket cars for even the most minute violations? I have asked myself those questions many times. Recently, I went to dispute a ticket I received for not affixing a temporary parking decal to the lower right corner of my windshield. The temporary parking decal that was issued to me did not have adhesive on it, therefore, it would not stick to my windshield. I instead placed the temporary parking decal on the dashboard in the appropriate, lower right corner of my windshield. So, I calmly went to explain the situation to the campus police department. The officer on duty said, "Why didn't you tape it to your windshield," she asked. The temporary pass, I explained, was to be transferred among press employees and taping the paper decal would be a problem. She replied with a snotty attitude, "I don't know what the problem is— you just don't want to follow the university's traffic and parking regulations." By that time, my blood was boiling because of her attitude. She referred me to the officer who wrote the ticket and I repeated my story to her. The officer took the temporary pass, put adhesive on it,

handed it back to me and voided my ticket. Before leaving, I asked for a copy of CSU's traffic and parking regulations since I did not receive one when I was issued the temporary permit. The parking permit regulations, which according to the officer I purposefully defied because I would not tape the decal to my windshield, clearly states that taping and/or encasement in plastic is not considered proper. I wrote this letter as a way to channel my frustrations regarding this matter. This experience has given me reason to believe that campus police ticket cars, no matter how small the violation, because they do not have anything better to do. On the contrary, I know of a couple of instances when they have been requested to help a student, which obviously was not as important to them as issuing parking tickets. The officers were not as enthusiastic to help the student as they seem to be when issuing parking tickets, in fact, they seemed reluctant to do anything. I think it is sad that our campus police, who are supposed to be here to protect and serve the students, avoid helping students on this campus, yet go out of their way to ticket parked cars. —Marie Knupke CSU student

feelings against the idiot driving the red Jeep. It also saves gas. Commuters argue that walking from Broncho Field House in the rain or snow is a terrible inconvenience. Stormy weather is inconvenient for everyone, but we all know that "a little water never hurt anyone," to quote our beloved parents once again. Until something can be done to ease the parking situation, commuters should accept the alternative of parking at the field house over cruising the parking lots. If mom could walk a mile in freezing weather while carrying little Susie on her back, students today can withstand a 15-minute walk with only a backpack.

Nothing's changed: men reign supreme By Jo Pydynkowsky Guest Columnist The "We really need to talk about this" March 7 editoral in The

Vista was very enlightening. It's no secret that men's athletics is allocated more money than women's, or that women's athletics holds a lower priority than men's athletics. So, what else is new? Through the years I've heard many excuses for why women's athletics doesn't receive more money, most of them from men: Women shouldn't play sports because they can get hurt. (This from a man who cuts himself shaving in his own bathroom?) Women aren't very good at sports. (This one ought to get a few laughs at the Women's Softball Association.) It takes guts to play sports. (How brave does one have to be to hit a little ball with a bat and ran around the bases? It takes guts to bear a child. Especially in today's world.) Women have too many things now to keep them busy. (Yeah. Maybe if men started looking at housework as their "equal right" women would have more time to play.)

Women already get enough fun exercise. (Wrestling dust kitties into a vacuum cleaner isn't my idea of fun. Neither is picking up someone else's dirty laundry. Hint - hint.) Women don't have the strength and endurance it takes to do sports. (This one was from a guy who spent all his time chasing his secretary around the office. He never caught her.) If a woman got hurt, it could ruin her life. (Men play and get. hurt and it doesn't ruin their lives. Men tell me the fun of playing overrides the fear of being hurt. I think women feel the same way.) And this is the best one of all time: Women don't need track and field because they don't ever have to run that fast. (There are many women who saved themselves from attack because they outran their male pursuers.) Did anyone ever think that if women had athletics comparable to men's there wouldn't be so much teen pregnancy? One gentleman told me that men have sports to keep them out of trouble. I guess he was right. I've never seen a pregnant football player.

battle they face while searching for parking spaces near certain buildings. They have devised various strategies to win that battle, including cruising for 30 to 60 minutes before a class looking for a spot or arriving just as classes are being dismissed and students are leaving. The last-ditch effort at parking is to "blaze a path to Broncho Field House and stumble minutes later into class," as one CSU student stated in a letter to The Vista editor. "Minutes" is the key word in that statement. Walking from Broncho Field House to any building on campus takes less than 15 minutes. Those 15 minutes spent walking are less frustrating than the half hour spent jockeying for a parking space and harboring ill

Teachers' job fair at CSU Thursday By Barbara Howry Staff Writer Forty-two school districts from six states will visit campus Thursday to recruit Central State University students and alumni for teaching positions. The Teacher Job Fair will be from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. April 4 in the University Center Ballroom. The annual event is sponsored by the University Placement Center in conjunction with the College of Education. "This gives students the opportunity to visit with various school districts, and to more or less get their foot in the door," said Kent Todd, placement office director. Most school districts bring more than one representative, and while some schools only will be distributing applications and information about their districts, others will be conducting interviews, Todd said. "I would recommend that you come dressed up and with your re-

sume," Todd said. "This gives students a chance to make an impression." Kenneth Elsner, College of Education Dean, said the Job Fair reflects well on CSU's education program. "If you look at the number of school districts attending, it indicates that our students are in demand," Elsner said. Todd agreed with Elsner's assessment of CSU's education department. "I know in talking with some of the representatives from the school districts, they are very pleased with the candidates they interview here," Todd said. "The College of Education here at Central State is probably one of, if not the best education college in the state," he said. The Las Vegas, Nev., schools have reserved a room for individual interviews. Appointments are required and can be scheduled in the placement office.

her presentation, said Oklahoma ranks 6th in the nation for teenage pregnancy. Her presentation "The Changing of Sexual Attitudes" emphasized the importance of sex education. "We are sexual creatures from the moment of birth, but parents aren't willing to talk with their children about sex," Lenox said. The countries with the lowest teenage birth rates, Sweden and Netherlands, are more liberal in the ideology of sex education and the availability of contraceptives, Lenox said. She said the United States needs to look carefully at what the other countries are doing in order to decrease its teenage birth rates. Deborah Meek quoted Winston

Churchill, "A nation that forgets its past has no future," during her presentation "American Myths and Their Effect on Our Life". Children and adults are taught myths from birth, said Meek. She conducted a survey asking 100 people (50 men and 50 women) if they were taught that men are superior to women, and asked those who said yes if they still believed it. The survey proved that 28 women, out of the 50, were taught that men were superior and none still believe it today, Meek said. Of the 50 men that responded, 15 of them were taught as being superior, and she said six continue to believe it today. In another presentation Mary

Anna D'Andriole said she studied euthanasia to help her resolve feelings derived from the removal of her mother's life support system. D'Andriole said Christian liberals are more likely to terminate life support than Christian fundamentalists, but on a personal level they are both for it. On a less serious note, "Brentwood Blues" a soap opera based on life at a college television station was presented. The soap opera depicted a student television anchor, Eric who doesn't get along with his coworkers. Eric's coffee is contaminated and he dies. In the meantime, the conniving co-anchor, Lisa passionately kisses her way out of several situations. V

Regents retain Wert as Dean Colleagues praise his leadership qualities By Marie Knupke Staff Writer The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges approved the appointment of Dr. Frank S. Wert as Central State University's Dean of the College of Business Administration at their March 15 meeting. Wert's appointment will begin July 1. Until then, he will continue to serve as the Interim Dean of the College of Business Administration. His colleagues are happy with his promotion to the full-time position. "I'm very pleased and excited that Dr. Wert is going to be our Dean. He has outstanding leadership capabilities," said CSU Accounting Chairwomen Dr. Loren Beavers. Wert has worked at CSU for 19 years. His degrees

include a Masters and Ph.D. in Economics from Colorado State University. In 1983-84, he received the Meritorius Service Award and the American Association of University Professors Distinguished Scholar Award in 1986. In other business, the regents swore in Mike Brown, from Edmond, Oklahoma, to fill Linda Grantham's vacant regent position. But, he cannot officially take office until it is approved by the Senate, said Executive Secretary of the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges Betty Leone. Brown is an insurance executive who has a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from East Central University in Ada. Leone said, "Grantham left her position because she moved out of the Edmond district to the Lawton district." V

Mideast discussion ignites arguments

Israeli consul tells about Mideast War By Corina Ormsbee Student Writer The Israeli perception of the Kuwaiti invasion and the Arab/ Israeli conflict were topics addressed by the vice-consul of the Consulate General for Israel in Houston to a Central State University contemporary political issues class Friday, March 8. Martin Peled-Flax, vice-consul and career diplomat for the Israel Foreign Service, lectures at colleges and universities in an attempt to explain Israeli political reasoning and establish a positive image. Flax gave his government's reasons for Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait and how that invasion was meant to affect the Arab world. "Now we (Israel) were not all that shocked as to Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait. To this day, I have a feeling there are people who are not quite clear on the concept of why Saddam invaded Kuwait," Flax said. He said Iraq did not invade Kuwait to repay war debts to Iran because they had already said they had no intention of repaying their war debts. In regard to oil prices, he said Kuwait agreed to cut oil production two weeks prior to the

invasion, attempting to achieve $21 barrel. "The reason Saddam Hussein decided to invade Kuwait was because he attempted to establish himself as the preeminent Arab leader and to seize as much as possible of the world's oil supply, not for his own—or even his country's—enrichment in terms of money, but rather in order to acquire the leverage which oil represents in the very real world," he said. He said Hussein would have been in possession of 40 percent of the world's oil supply had he been allowed to remain in Kuwait. And with that political "leverage" he would have been able to dictate worldwide the price of oil and use oil as a political and economic weapon against the world. Flax said he believes the Gulf War was a good and just crusade. "We were not talking about, in the gulf, keeping oil prices at a $1.09. We were talking about keeping oil out of the hands of someone who would not hesitate to use that oil, not for economic reasons, but for pure power politics," Flax said. He said Saddam is no longer a consideration for the preeminent Arab leader and his major concern should be maintaining what is left of his regime in Baghdad. Regarding the Palestinian issue,

Flax said if the Palestinians desire their own state, why did they choose to go to war in 1947 instead of agreeing to the terms in the Partition Plan? This agreement, written by the United Nations Special Commission, designated an Arab state and a Jewish state. "What my government believes is necessary. And what we've always held to be necessary is that we have to reach peace agreements not only with the Palestinian people, but we have to reach peace agreements with the Arab states that surround us, who maintain a state of war with us. "We are talking about Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, to the south, and yes, at a certain point in time—when the smoke clears— with Iraq," Flax said. V

A disagreement between a Central State University Arab student and Martin Peled-Flax, vice-consul for the Consulate General of Israel in Houston, is evidence that the Arab-Israeli conflict is not confuted to the Middle East. Flax was speaking to a CSU contemporary political issues class about the Palestinian issue and Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait when his lecture was interrupted. Hassan Hussein, a CSU sophomore from Saudi Arabia, said Flax was not telling the truth about Saddam Hussein or the Palestinians. Hussein became irritated when he thought Flax was speaking too long and was not going to allow time for questions. Hussein was put off twice when he tried to ask questions. The second time he did not wait. His voice quivered. His words ran together. "Shamir and Hussein, they are both crazy, you know," Hussein said. Flax told Hussein he was making statements, and he would take questions, not statements. Hussein continued speaking, but it was difficult to understand. "What you are saying is totally misleading, and you are telling us lies, absolute lies," Hussein said. Flax said he hoped Hussein did not represent CSU students. "I assume that this is not indicative of the level of academic discourse here at this university. If it is, I'm sorry," Flax said. Hussein told Dr. John George, political science professor, he should be able to make statements because Flax was making statements. Flax asked to be allowed to continue his lecture. "I think you people see first-hand some of the problems we confront in the Middle East," Flax said. Brian Dragus, a sophomore criminal justice major, said Flax was a good speaker. "It wasn't a forum and he (Hussein) refused to ask a question," Dragus said. Another student said the speech was informative and it was good to hear both sides, but the Middle East is a complicated issue. V

Students, administrators split on issue Recent survey shows racial tensions on rise By Barbara Dewailley Staff Writer First of two parts Central State University administrators say this campus has never had many problems with race relations. However, many students say some discrimination does exist, but most of the time it is subtle. Sometimes the racial tension comes in the form of written slurs on the bathroom wall, said one student. Sophomore Don Lewis said, "In the dorm I live in, the bathroom walls are full of anti-black and anti-white racial remarks." -- Yes, words that have caused anger and violence in America's history are visible at CSU. "History is repeating itself somewhat," said Audra Harris, sophomore. "This campus should cater to everybody and not just one certain race, but it does." Harris, who is black, said many students are reluctant to comment on racial problems they have experienced on campus, partially because of fear, partially because they have accepted it for so long that it seems normal to them. The Southern Regional Education Board conducted a study in 1988 on black and white students' perceptions of their college climate. The SREB said the study was done in part to respond to rising ra-

cial incidents on college campuses, and to follow-up a study completed a decade ago. The study included 4,600 students from 40 different universities, 2,147 white and 2,436 black students. Most of the students agreed racial tensions are high on college campuses, and, over 90 percent said there is still a lot of prejudice in today's society. Students were asked questions in 60 categories, all relating to racial attitudes on campus. Some of the findings include: • After 25 years of desegregation, black students are still experiencing verbal attacks, physical confrontations, and other more subtle acts to discourage their attending or graduating from college. • Many while students said they oppose special considerations and programs for minorities. • Minority students said they felt they were not adequately advised on the kinds of problems they would face on campus. • Black students said they feel strongly that colleges will be more effective if they involve black faculty and students in recruiting. • Minority students said they do not think their college gives them enough opportunity, either formally or informally, to express their concerns and relate their experiences on campus. Mike Marquez, a Hispanic CSU graduate student, said, "I feel, for the most part, people have been

Bathroom stall walls are a favorite medium for pouse their racist philosophy. (Photo by Peter East Hall residents who feel compelled to es- Werts) very open with me here. But I've noticed there's not really any affirmative action programs on campus, no orientation, and no leads on scholarships. I don't know if this is to disuade minorities or not." Terry White, senior, said that in 1988 the council for the dormitory he lived in had to deal with race discrimination problems. He said he believes this campus, and perhaps the country is backsliding in regard to racial attitudes. White, who is American Indian, said he has been called names like "chief' and has had "war whoops" yelled at him on campus. Michael Williams, sophomore, said people have spit on his dor-

mitory door and left racial notes under it. Williams is black. Shenae Murphy, a black coed, said, "I've never really encountered much discrimination at Central State. Sometimes you do think some people are trying to make you stay within your color boundary though." International students Ananta Raj Pandey and Jamal Khurshid, seniors, said they have noticed some racial tensions on campus, but Khurshid said he has to deal with it more off campus. "The majority of the American students treat me well. I have seen a lack of communication. The main racial problem is we just don't mix with each other."

Pandey said this is really evident when you enter the campus cafeteria. He said blacks all sit together, whites sit together, Asians sit together, and so on. It is almost like entering an inner-city area, he said. "Most of the other students here are not interested in foreign students, I think. They look at me like I'm from Mars," Pandey said. Khurshid said he would like to see invitations to International Night sent out to American, as well as international students. "This might help the American students understand us better, and help strengthen communication," he said. V

Art used to aid handicapped By Marie Knupke Student Writer A nation-wide survey revealed that art therapy courses should be added to the art teacher preparation curriculum. Central State University art Professor Dr. Jo Ann Adams surveyed various presidents and vice-presidents of State Art Education Associations in other states to determine whether art educators need to be trained in art therapy. Although 94 percent have handicapped students mainstreamed into their classrooms, only 17 percent have taken a course in art therapy.

Yearbook recognized third time By Larry Rogers Student Writer

The 1990 edition of Central State University's Bronze Book, has been selected to appear in Taylor Publishing Company's college yearbook honor roll, the "Yearbook Yearbook." "We compile the Yearbook Yearbook to recognize the very best in university yearbooks," said Bruce Gerrity, manager of the National Education Division of Taylor Publishing Company in Dallas. This is the third year in a row that the Bronze Book has appeared. The Bronze Book was chosen again because of outstanding design, photo caption writing and original treatment of material relating to the college experience, Gerrity said. A staff of judges selects 10 to 12 yearbooks for inclusion, which represents the top 2 percent of the 450 published by Taylor annually, Gerrity said. CSU's Bronze Book is the only university-level yearbook in Oklahoma included in this year's publication, Gerrity said. Lu Hollander, Bronze Book adviser said she is pleased that the staff's hard work has paid off. "I think the Bronze Book staff has sort of an unsung duty," Hollander said. "It's really nice that their efforts have been recognized." The Bronze Book office will receive a certificate of recognition and a copy of the 1991 Yearbook Yearbook. V

And more than 98 percent believe student teachers need training to be competent and knowledgeable in order to deal with handicapped students. Therefore, they are concerned about how effective the art educators are in dealing with mainstreamed students. Ninety percent agree student teachers should take an introductory art therapy course in their curriculum to begin to meet the need. "Currently, art education majors at CSU are offered only one course, for two-hour credit, that simply introduces them to the capabilities of exceptional children," Adams said.

Adams believes art educators need additional training on how to deal with handicapped children and raise their self-esteem. "I think art educators need more training because when they don't know where to put handicapped children, they 'dump' them in the art room," Adams said. "If a child can succeed in one area, it can transfer into other areas of development," she said. The results prompted Adams to request an art therapy course be taught at CSU on a trail basis. Last fall, an introductory art therapy course at CSU was taught on a trial basis by registered art therapist Madeline Rugh, involv-

ing an overview of various theories and practices in the field of art therapy. Examples of course objectives were that students develop a personal theoretical understanding of the arts in healing and helping; learn practical ways to apply art therapy concepts and practices in work and personal domains, and acquire an understanding of the developmental stages of creative growth children and adults (handicapped and non-handicapped) progress. Adams compiled information from the course into a paper entitled, "Introduction of Art Therapy in a Higher Education Art De-

Teacher's article defends parolee rights By Missy Williams Staff Writer Public opinions concerning parolees being placed in local communities is the focus of the article co-authored by Dr. Joan Luxenburg, associate professor of sociology and criminal justice at Central State University.

The article tells about Lawarence Singleton who was convicted in 1977 of raping a 15-year-old girl. He was released after serving eight years in prison. Communities in Northern California disagreed with his placement in their community on a one-year parole release program. The authors concluded that "when a parolee does something wrong the public gets all excited, but are not told of the hundreds of thousands of cases where the parolee has

Many people may think hypnosis is a hoax, but hypnotherapist Richard Hood, senior oral communication major at Central State University, says it can be beneficial. "Hypnosis is the answer to a lot of problems, but it is not the answer for everbody. It can help people that have trouble helping themselves by bypassing the consicious mind and getting straight to the subconscious mind," Hood said. Smoking, weight loss, pain control, stress management, and self development are some of the many things he works with. "When you put a person in a trance, or relaxed state, it opens up the unconscious mind to receive suggestions at a more concentrated effort," he said. Hood takes his work very seriously, but keeps everything within reality, he said. "I had very low self esteem and low self confidence when I was coming out of school, I began to look for ways to improve that and found self hypnosis and hypnosis very interesting," he said. Every person is different, but the average person attends three to four sessions, he said. Along with his school work, Hood teaches a self hypnosis class at Rose State College. "Hypnosis is something not to be afraid of, Hood said, it is simply a way to better yourself in many areas of your life." V

KCSC-FM is combining efforts with its area National Public Radio counterparts, Oklahoma University's KGOU-FM and Oklahoma State University's KOSUFM, to raise funds this spring. Tom Anderson, KCSC station manager, said KCSC has raised $130,000 of a projected $160,000 needed this fiscal year. The money was raised through a spring fund raiser and membership drive started March 18. "We are optimistic we will raise the additional funds through a direct mail membership drive. With their donation, people receive a station program guide," Anderson said. He said KCSC has a wide range of listeners from Edmond to Elk City. "Our format is almost all classical music.

carry CSU football games and Garrison Keillor," Anderson said. Karen Holp of KGOU said her station is very pleased at the response to their fund raiser which has netted them most of the $33,000 they need for the year. "We are actually having two drives, one is for membership, one is for a capital campaign. The capital campaign is to raise money for a repeater station. It will be a separately- licensed station that duplicates what you hear on KGOU, then broadcasts it to other areas of the state that our signal now does not reach," Holp said. KGOU has news, information, and plays jazz, blues and classical music, a format that compliments KCSC very well, Holp said. The public radio stations are not in competition with each other, said Craig Beeby, KOSU's general manager. "Public radio is a precious commodity that needs nurturing by its listening audience," Beeby said. V

Workers continue demolition of Central State University's old track, built in 1968. The new track, a eight-lane polyurethane surface, is expected to be finished within the next four months. The project, begun March 11, has been planned for a couple of years, however, the bidding process was more lengthy than expected, according to Athletic Director John "Skip" Wagnon. The $260,000 track is being constructed by Southwest Track Builders of Austin, Texas, and will encircle Wantland Stadium. All the field event areas will also be reconstructed, and a steeplechase pit will be added by completion.

CSU splits pair versus Savage rival

• •

On top 3-0 after two innings against Southeastern Thursday, a win looked promising for Central State University senior pitcher Roy Robinson (0-7), but the Savages rallied for an 11-3 victory and salvaged a split of a twin bill in Durant. Steve Farthing (3-1), a Ranger juco transfer, came on in relief of CSU starter Ward Chase in the fifth inning of the opener and picked up the victory. Guthrie sophomore Gary Selig entered in the seventh inning and recorded his fifth save of the year. Broncho senior first baseman Curtis Underwood continues his assault on the school record book. Underwood, a four-year starter from Lawton Eisenhower, is fourth in doubles (31), tied for third in homers (16), fourth in RBI (92), and sixth in hits (138). His career batting average is .336, and he has a career fielding percentage of .988 (eight errors in 675 fielding chances). The Bronchos are now 17-18 on the year with a Thursday doubleheader at Oklahoma Christian, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The next home game is a 1 p.m. doubleheader against Abilene Christian April 12.

The Lady Bronchos won the opener 1-0 but fell 7-6 in the nightcap as Christy Burcham (4-3) relieved Kelly Powell in the sixth inning and earned the loss. The Sooners' Christine Haag (9-6) earned the loss in the opener and the victory in the second game. The Lady Bronchos improved to 17-7 on the year and have won six of their last seven games, following recent wins against Northeastern, Air Force (2), Dana (Neb.), Tarkio (Mo.) and OU. Plano (East), Texas, sophomore Amy Douglass leads the Lady Bronchos with a .321 batting average, while Honea continues to lead the pitching staff. The team has also stole 36 bases on 36 attempts this season. CSU returns to action today, playing host to Oklahoma Baptist University at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. The Lady Bronchos will not return home again until April 10 against Northeastern.

George prescribes desire for success By Ray Dozier Sports Information Assistant

Winning is the number one goal of any athlete. And it's desire, says Central State University softball player Cindy George, that is the main motivator. "I think desire motivates people more than anything," said the starting third baseman. "If you're hungry enough, you can do anything you want to. What motivates me more than anything is when the entire team is working together." George is in her fourth season as a CSU starter and has been one of the team's top defensive players throughout her career. She has also led the team offensively, stealing 22 of 24 bases in her career. She hasn't been caught in her past 20 attempts. But more importantly, George attributes experience to her playing ability. She has played softball since she was eight and at third base the past seven years. "Quick reactions make a good third baseman," she said. "You've got to be able to read the batter. You also have to think like a coach because you've got to know what a batter is capable of. You've got to know whether she is going to bunt or not. "You don't know how the are going to hit to you at third base. You don't know if it's (the ball) going to be stuffed down your throat or just a little dribbler. You have to be ready for whatever comes at you." George, a senior from Edmond, said she is pleased that she will play alongside her sister this year. Tammy, a freshman, starts on second base for the Lady Bronchos.

Cindy George

"I'm glad we get to play together at least one year," George said. "She is a tough competitor, and I think she is an asset to our team." George said she believes the Lady Bronchos will be a NCAA II contender this year. "The main goal is that our team would go to the playoffs this year. I think we have the talent and ability to do that. As long as we keep

our attitudes positive and high we can do it." George graduates in December and will pursue a career in sport psychology. "They can help athletes in a lot of areas, such as when they get injured, you help them overcome that," she said. "They can work as a motivator to help them with the disire they may need to win as a team or as a player. "I'm very sports-minded and find it interesting how the mind works, and how you can incorporate the positive in a person. I'm really interested in how the mind works in relation to sports."

HOW TO BEAT THE RAT RACE AND NOT BE A RAT You are working SMART right now in order to work HARD for the next 40 years. As a college graduate, and proud of it, I've discovered that the "American Dream" is rarefy attainable with the 8 to 5, coat and tie, back and forth 52 weeks a year mentality. The average amount of savings for today's f amity is $2,000. Out of every 100 people 65 years old, 31 are dead, 68 are basically broke, and one is wealthy. If you are interested in reducing your 40 year plan call 791-0197 for a recorded message.
