Administrators refute faculty cuts for FY '91 By Debbie Blossom
Staff Writer While Oklahoma waits to see if the emergency clause for House Bill 1017, which advocates increased funding and reform for public education, will pass, Central State University may be caught in an unexpected financial crunch. Some department chairs have reported that if the 7
percent budget decrease actually happens, CSU could lose 44 full-time faculty positions. "I've heard that number kicked around, but there is nothing to substantiate it at this time," said Dr. Bill Parker, assistant dean of liberal arts. "No, it's not true; there's not a chance," said Joyce Mounce, administrative vice president, in answer to the rumor about possibility of a cutback. Please see BUDGET on page 8.
Candidates discuss issues By Kamal Mazlan
Staff Writer Five candidates campaigning for the Central State University Student Association presidency April 9-12 announced their platforms concerning current campus issues in a televised debate Wednesday in the KCSU-TV 2 studio, Communications Building Annex. The 30-minute debate was sponsored by The Vista, KCSUTV 2 and the CSU Debate Team.
CSU students will have an opportunity to watch the debate when it is aired for the first time midweek and repeated several times prior to the election, according to Dr. Jack Deskins, director of PSTV.

A school for homeless children, being formed by the Salvation Army, may combine with an accredited school the Ark shelter has proposed for far-northeast Oklahoma City. Kenneth Brown, Central State University freshman, has already committed to teach with the Salvation Army school. The Ark may form an accredited school, similar to one proposed by Michele Seibel, Salvation Army social worker. Kerie Jones, Ark resident care counselor, has worked with area homeless for about two years. The five-acre shelter gives the homeless a chance to improve their lives. "We're a transitional living facility," Jones said. "We offer folks the basic necessities of life— shelter and food. That's our number one priority. "My job is to see where they're at, what goals they're going to be working on while they're here,

A parent-child coordinator works with preschool age children as well as adult interaction. A staff person assists with low-income housing and employment needs, Jones said. "Most people here don't have a degree other than a high school diploma, if that," Jones said. "They're limited as to what (employment) is available to them. "A lot of the people are used to seasonal work. When they come here in the wintertime, they're out of work and unskilled. We try to link them up with area vocational schools," Jones said.

Helms Amendment stifles art, creativity By DeWayne Smoot Editor in chief A year-long dispute in the U.S. Congress has successfully kept some artists from exhibiting their art or from receiving federal grants to promote artistic achievement. But, who would think Sen. Jesse Helms and his campaign to stifle creative freedom by limiting funds for artists, whose works might be viewed as offensive would affect Oklahoma? Unfortunately, it has: Kirkpatrick Center staff pulled Central State University photographer Jenny Woodruff's photos of partially-clad pregnant women from the wall of its show, "Eggsibition." There is a growing fear among artists that the intolerance sparked by the Helms Amendment will curb creativity, censor self-expression, and isolate the American public from true artistic insight. Helms and his supporters argue it's the right of the taxpayers to not fund art that might be deemed—by some—offensive. Fortunately, there are galleries that provide a forum for artists whose works were prohibited from other displays: Woodruff's
photographs will show throughout the end of the month at the Individual Artists of Oklahoma (IAO) Gallery in Oklahoma City. Dana McBride, IA0 director, expressed her concerns for being too vocal about the potential threats posed by censorship because a lot of its funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, Helms' primary target. There is absolutely no room in American culture for censorship of any kind. Censorship runs against the grain of everything America represents, it echoes tyrannical periods in history, eras that served to inspire the Founding Fathers' resentment of repressed thought. Art of any kind—music, literature, paintings, photographs, and others—must be protected from government shackles. Its creators must be free to explore beyond the public's conscience. Art must provoke thought: expand and enlighten its viewers' conception of what art is. Congress is expected to continue its battle of federal funding for the arts and, with the Helms Amendment lurking behind the scenes, artists need the public's support. The voice of the people must be heard— each individual counts.
Readers express griefs, gratitude Prof wants Vista editor to resign, ask forgiveness To the Editor:
"To what extent is the state's need for college educated anyway?" (Fill in the blank.) One would expect this sentence to be uttered by an illiterate who sees no value in a college education, or someone who does not want to pay any more tax dollars to education, or doesn't have kids, or doesn't like children, etc. Certainly, this sentence has no place in a university and certainly any editor of a school newspaper who writes it (such as DeWayne Smoot on March 15, 1990 on the editorial page of the Vista), should be fired immediately! His sentence is totally unprofessional. How would it look if the blank were filled in with the word "journalist" instead of "musician"? Education is supposed to foster an understanding and appreciation of different disciplines. Prejudice against a profession (such as math, biology, business, art, education, etc.) does not belong in a university environment. Mr. Smoot, apologize and resign!
Dr. Sam Magrill Assistant Professor of Music
Editor's Note: The intent of the editorial in question was not to belittle the cultural value of music or a good musical education, but to point out several discrepancies which exists between tuition fee waiver policies established by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and the way waivers are issued here. I will neither resign or apologize for exercising my right of free speech and expression.
Reader tired of anti-CSU talk, seeks change To the Editor: I'm getting tired of students taking "pot shots" at Central State University, especially when it's the very school they attend. I'm not referring to constructive criticism or an individual taking a strong stand on a controversial issue. What I'm talking about is students cutting down everything from athletics to The Vista. Athletes and journalists are not the students with the attitude problem. The unmotivated apathetic students who don't want to be at CSU are the students I question. The students I'm talking about are people who say they are going here for a semester because they are waiting to transfer to the University of Oklahoma or Oklahoma State University. Do these students join clubs af-
filiated with their major, the student senate, the Greek system, or attend activities? No. They don't because they are "stuck" at CSU. CSU is stuck with them. Our football team is not looking for sympathy—the players' eyes are set on next season. Preparation is well underway for next fall, for they have not given up on themselves or the school they represent. It would be a severe understatement to refer to the wrestling program as anything but phenomenal. So what is the problem with the lack of support here? Could it just possibly be the student body? CSU was not my first choice either, but I'm here and I like it. The primary reason to attend college is to receive an education. I can honestly say that I have benefited tremendously from the outstanding and personable professors I have had. But, we cannot be content with this alone, because progress takes change. I challenge you to attend a guest lecturer, play or a baseball game. This letter is not directed towards commuter students or any other particular group. This letter is directed towards students who are mad at themselves for being stuck at CSU.
Peter J. Regan Student Senate Historian
Student senator speaks out, voices support To the Editor:
I would like to take this chance to thank those I have worked with and those I have served. As Deputy Speaker of the Student Association (SA), I have had a chance to work with some motivated individuals, and for this organization to continue to serve in the best interest of the student body, we need positively motivated individuals, officers and senators. At this time I would like to tell this student body to take a good look at who they are voting for (in the SA elections April 9-12). Some of the candidates involved in this election are surrounded by nothing but negative energy and corruption in their past and present. I know I'll sleep better knowing that my last year at Central State University, I voted for Peter Regan as president.

CSU Pu c Relations Director Linda nes said all costs to the university would be gradually introduced over a period of several years, and that existing materials bearing the present name would be used up first. CSU was founded as Oklahoma Territorial Normal School, in 1904 became Central State Normal School, and then changed to Central State Teachers' College in 1919. In 1939 it was named Central State College, and in 1971 became a university. If the state legislature approves the bill it will be the sixth change. Lillard also said if the bill is passed, any graduates interested may have their degree changed for about $15.

"Panama Vice: The Noriega Connection" was the topic at the brown bag lunch and faculty forum held Wednesday in the Liberal Arts Building faculty lounge. Principal speaker James Baker, history professor, started the forum by saying he didn't think Noriega would even be a footnote in the history of Panama. "Noriega was not in power long enough," Baker said, "nor was his power deep enough to bring about much change." "The only reason we talk about him so much, Baker said, "he's such an evil person we enjoy the controversy about him." "I don't think his capture will affect the drug war or Panama at all," Baker said. "The United States takes too much credit and responsibility for Latin America," Baker said.

Performer's Workshop Ensemble, a professional group of unusual actors, dancers and musicians, composed and performed skits and examples of contemporary music March 26-28 at Central State University. Seven people, several with doctorates, and graduate student computer-engineers were in the group, said Sam Magrill, CSU music professor.
An open forum with the group was 8:30-11:30 a.m., Mon.-Wed. Each member of the group took about five people to form seven small classes on actions, languages and sounds. After 30 minutes each group presented a completed composition to the whole class. Different groups formed each hour. The ensemble also presented a concert March 27. They performed an original composition titled "Worries in Contemporary Gossip, Music and Theater," written by group mentor
Herbert Brunn, emeritus professor from the University of Illinois, where the group began in 1979. The concert titled "Composer's Cabere" includes an original Magrill composition, Magrill said. "The group just completed a six-month tour of Germany and is stopping at CSU as part of their spring tour of the United States," Magrill said. Performers at the workshop were: Susan Parenti, Keith Johnson, Mark Enslin, Arun Chandra, Rick Burkhardt, Herbert Brunn, and Lori Blewett.
SA OKs new organization Group's goal to promote production management By Andrew Smith
Staff Writer
The Student Association Senate approved the American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS) after five months of altering and amending the constitution for APICS. "With respect to the length of time to approve a constitution," Speaker David Slane explained, "it's a lengthy process. It went to Dean (Dudley) Ryan, then to the Senate Committee, back to original author for corrections then back to us for final approval, which passed by consent."
The purpose of the organization is to foster and maintain high standards of resource management while in a learning environment, said Delena Lang, president of the Central State University APICS student chapter. "The organization gives students opportunity to apply what they learn in school with what they have in the real world," Lang said. On speculation that APICS might be approved by administration, Lang said this CSU chapter will be the first in Oklahoma. APICS student membership enables CSU students to attend the professional meetings of Oklahoma City Chapter No. 86, Lang said.

"For a democracy to work you must have constitutional backing and political pluralism, those things don't exist in Panama." "As long as 20 percent of the people control 60 percent of the wealth, while the poor only have 2 percent there will be no democracy," Baker said.

Money for the scholarships is raised through annual dues and contributions from members, Rot-

Softball team continues skid By Ray Dozier

NORMAN—Oklahoma University scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning en route to handing Central State University its third straight softball loss, 6-1, at Reaves Park. The Lady Bronchos were scheduled to play in the Sooner Invitational but soggy grounds from a week of rain cancelled the tournament. The sun came out Saturday, allowing a few games to be played. CSU scored first in the top of the second inning. Amy Douglas hit a double to left field. Trina Resler blasted a hit to center which scored Douglas for CSU's lone run of the game. Jacquie Stephens, 7-8, pitched four and one-third innings and received the loss for CSU. "Except for the one inning (4th) I was pleased with the way we played," said CSU Head Softball Coach Gerry Pinkston. "In that inning when they got the four runs, I think we lost some of our effectiveness." The Lady Bronchos, 13-11-1 ; meet intrastate rival Cameron in a doubleheader in Lawton today, then travel to Joplin, Mo., to compete in the two-day Missouri Southern University tournament. The tournament is divided into four pools with five teams per pool. "We are going to have a tough weekend when we play at Joplin," Pinkston said. "That's a big tournament with a lot of good teams."

"I was tired of all the guilt and of all the money I was spending," he said. "And, I was tired of not living with reality." Rodenberg said he began lifting weights because he lacked selfconfidence. "I felt I was skinny and weak and allowed myself to be intimidated by others easily. Psycologically, I wanted to become big and strong to overcome that fear. "That was my goal back then, but now, I am trying to get away from the cocky, tough-guy image," he said. Rodenberg took steroids to enhance his performance and bodily physique, he said, but gave them up after realyzing the source of his strength was not under his own control. "I pride myself now on being drug-free. Steroids gave me a false image of what my true strength was. I've accomplished this (drugfree body) on my own after I realyzed I didn't need steroids. Now, I feel much better. "Now, I don't see how a person could live with being on drugs to enhance their physical strength. When persons on drugs go into a non-drug competition and win, it's like goint out and buying a trophy," he said. Fortunately, Rodenberg said he has not seen widespread abuse of steroids or any other performanceenhancing drugs at CSU. "I think because of the awareness of steroids, there's not as bad a problem. In the 1990s, I predict a decrease in their use. "I think athletes in general have to realize that fair is the name of the game. They must come to grips with themselves and find their own best potential instead of a drug-induced one," he said. Rodenberg set regional powerlifting records last year in the squat, dead lift and total weight lifted in Arlington, Texas, the
qualifying round for the national competition. Then in Dallas, Texas, at the 1989 nationals, he narrowly defeated a field of 16 in the 242-pound weight division and won the national title as well as All-America honors. "The competition is tough with guys from everywhere," Rodenberg said. "I'd like to win again this year, but there's a lot of added pressure involved. "This year is going to be a big challenge because of my workload, and I dropped 15 pounds in order to be in better overall physical condition. I'd like to be a wellrounded physical athlete. Rodenberg said weight training has given him a real sense of selfsatisfaction. "I feel good about myself," he said. "I feel better about my selfconfidence and that I can apply myself and accomplish things." Rodenberg represents CSU Friday through Sunday at the U.S. Naval Academy in the 1990 U.S.P.F. nationals.

BUDGET.
DEBATE Continued from page 1
Continued from page 1
All department chairmen and department directors responsible for planning budgets have been instructed to prepare two for the upcoming fiscal year: one the same as the current budget, and one 7 percent less, Mounce said. Without increased funding from the legislature, CSU will have to operate on less money than it has now. Mounce said CSU's expenses will increase by a million dollars next year. Reasons include: postage, student wages (the minimum wage has just gone up and will again next year), FICA taxes, and promotions in rank for faculty. Mounce also said unpredictable factors such as utilities and insurance are included in the increases. A shortage of money for student help has already affected the audio/visual lab in the College of Liberal Arts. Dean Clif' Warren asked faculty to expect a longer wait for photocopying as of March 13. Dean of Education Dr. Kenneth Elsner said there haven't been any student cut-backs as of yet.
science; Jason Snow, freshman, finance; Eddie Hagler, junior, journalism; _Peter Regan, sophomore, economics; and Sean Slavin, senior, majoring in biology and chemistry. All the candidates, except Terrill, are currently serving in the SA Senate. Terrill served as senator last year. The five candidates were each given a minute to answer three questions, and another minute to sum up their positions on the issues. To a question on how to get commuter students actively involved in student government, take more pride in the university and its traditions, and attend school events, all the candidates said the SA needs to generate much publicity about its activities. "First, I would like to see a massive publicity campaign to inform the students and to stimulate their interest," Terrill said. "Second, we can't force them to get involved. Third, we have to give them incentives to stay involved in student organizations once they get there."

country will pay will just cover the damage we did. Randall Jones, professor of political science, asked if the treaty will go on track. "It will depend on which government is in power," Baker said. "The canal is no longer vital to the U.S. It is much more important to South America." Herman Fullgraf, American history professor, asked if they had a population problem in Panama. There has been a declining birthrate, Baker said. "What about their illiteracy rate?" Fullgraf said. Surprisingly, the rate is about 80 percent in people past the age of 12, Baker said. "Race is very much involved in Panama," Baker said. "Even the man in power now is very light complected. The majority of the

"The Panamanians are happy because they are alive, Noriega's gone, the embargo's over, aid might be coming," Baker said, "but, basically, they want us to go home and let them run their own country." The next topic is Pack Rat Biology to be held at 12:45 on Tuesday, April 10, in the Liberal Arts Building faculty lounge.

Hagler said the senate has in the past been reluctant to advertise their activities. "We need to make full use of advertising in The Vista," Hagler said. Regan said the question of how much the candidates think should be given to athletic programs is a delicate issue. "Most of the athletic funding comes from the student activity fees. So, students should have more control over the funding. But, athletics and academics are equally important," Regan said. The SA is sponsoring a candidates' forum at 2 p.m. Wednesday in the Pegasus Theater, Liberal Arts Building.

problems in the nearby Crutcho school system. Ark children can be singled out in school due to their appearance, Greenback said, leaving them with negative feelings about school. The Ark can house up to 16 families who may remain in the shelter up to 90 days, Greenback said. Residents must be drug-free and alcohol is prohibited. During a six-month period in 1989, the Ark housed 70 families with 41 children under five years old. Most families remained in the shelter for several weeks, and medical supply needs were high. The Department Of Human Services assists area shelters through several programs.
Raymond Haddock, DHS programs coordinator, said the agency supplys medical assistance, food stamps and aid to low-income families with dependent children. The DHS also offers lowincome energy assistance during wintertime. If the Salvation Army school meets proper state guidelines, Haddock said he would be in favor of educating homeless children. In addition, state Rep. Vickie White has authored three House bills concerning the homeless and low-income Oklahomans. White's bill dealing with lowincome housing was signed by Gov. Henry Bellmon last May. A second bill concerning housing and agency cooperation is currently in a Senate committee.
