Terrill fights ban by election board By Lori Miller and Laurel Anquoe Student Writers Randall Terrill has filed an appeal with the Student Senate to reverse an election board decision that removed him from the Student Association presidential ballot. The April 4 removal was a unanimous decision of the board as a result of two grievances filed against him. Presidential candidate Joe Stehr filed a grievance April 3 alleging Terrill placed campaign material on tables in the Oklahoma Room of University Center without first obtaining permission from Robert Fields, auxilery services director. According to the election board, this violates rule IIH of the SA campaign rules, which reads, "Campaign materials may be placed on bulletin boards or de-
signated areas after securing permission from the person in charge of that area. This will generally be done through the chairman, dean, or other person in charge of the building concerned." Terrill, in response to the allegation, said he did secure permission from a cashier in charge of the area in question. The election board postponed a decision in this matter until April 4. Stehr filed a second grievance against Terrill at the April 4 meeting. The grievance asserted that Terrill went to the football team during practice April 3 and said, "Joe Stehr wants to abolish the football team and other programs." The election board concluded this statement is in violation of rule IIA of the campaign rules

Music concert slated By Salina Nik Idris Staff Writer The Central State University music department will present the concert "Songs and Other Sounds" at 8:30 p.m. April 17 at Mitchell Hall, said Sam Magrill, assistant professor of music. The concert is comprised of music composed by students of the music department, Magrill said. Ten students are in the ensemble and each student will present two compositions, one instrumental and one song, Magrill said. The instrumental compositions are "A Man's Destiny" by Franco Cevallos; "Sunrise," Mei Sze Ling; "Freedom/ Imprisonment," Kris Brazeal; "A Walk Into The Starlight," Shawn Witcher; "Dual Decisions," John Young; "A Cat's Night Prowl," Mark McKenna; "Configuration," Reid Webber; "Deprivation," Martin Kobuck; "Zero, 1," Marilyn Johnson; and "Saxiden-
tal Death," David Chambers. Most of the text for the songs were taken from various sources though some were written by student composers, Magrill said. The songs to be presented are "No Harmony in Hominy," composed by Witcher, "Manhattan Stowaway,""None," "Psalm 121," "Savage," "Sun Nails," "Deserted," "From Poor Richard's Almanac," "Fog on Snowmass," and "Psalm 6." The composers' ensemble was formed by Magrill when he first taught at CSU in fall 1988 and this is the second time it will be performed. "It was successful the first time we performed it," Magrill said. "The reason it is held is the same reason why all concerts are presented, because music only makes sense if it is performed," Magrill said. The students were given the whole semester to complete their compositions. It is part of their course requirement, Magrill said. "I will continue to have the
composers' ensemble every semester because I want to start a tradition of contemporary music at CSU." During his years at the University of Illinois, Magrill said he formed the Performers Workshop Ensemble; at the University of Wyoming the Anacrusis Ensemble; at California State University, Long Beach, the Anacrusis West; and at CSU, the Composers' Ensemble. "Music is based on tradition of experimentation. We have to continue to write in order to keep that tradition, Magrill said. "The composers' ensemble will be very different from what you normally hear. You will not expect this kind of music; it is very contemporary," Magrill said. There will be a reception after the concert for the performers to meet with the audience and comment on their performance, Magrill said. There will be a fee of $3 for non-CSU students.

Student wins award Central State University senior nursing student Rebecca Lucas has received a $1,000 scholarship from the American Association of Critical Care Nurses, becoming the first Oklahoman ever to win the scholarship. Lucas, of Oklahoma City, received the scholarship for her essay "How I Will Make a Difference as a Critical Care Nurse." Lucas will use the scholarship to attend the association's national convention in Atlanta May
14-18, where she will be recognized as the scholarship winner. As the scholarship recipient, she also will receive a year's free membership in the association and a year's free subscription to the association's journal. "She's a good student. We were hoping that she would win," said Dr. Barbara Henthorn, chair of the CSU nursing department. "Hopefully, this will encourage more of our nursing students to enter."
