Committee ignores complaints
Coen declared winner in troubled election By J. Money Editor Despite a senate candidate's complaint about rules violations during the campaign, Lisa Coen
has been declared the new president by the Student Association Election Committee. Coen captured approximately 41 percent of the vote. She was
spared a run-off election when the second place finisher, Mark Heffernan, bowed out of the race. Glenn Kilgour, chairman of the committee, said meanwhile that
High school censorship discussed
Scholar agrees with court By Monica Kremeier Associate Editor Jack Walter Peltason, chancellor of the University of California in Irvine, addressed the recent Supreme Court ruling that allows high school principals to censor school publications while speaking to a group of students Tuesday. Peltason addressed the students during the Colloquium of Distinguished Statesman and Scholars at Central State University. "There seems to be a need for it (the ruling)," he said. "The line was drawn between high school and college, and I don't think it will affect college publications. "The ruling said that high school students are impressionable, but college students are adults." Peltason also talked about a wide range of other topics related to the constitution during the colloquium. "You are citizens of democracy and therefore have the responsiblity to understand the system," he said. "There is a heightened awareness of the constitution because we just celebrated its bicentennial," he added. Peltason, who is a constitutional specialist, said the constitution was established and ratified mostly through compromises made between the politicians. "The appointment of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy shows how the constitution works," said Peltason.

He added that Kennedy more actively represents the concensus than the other two nominees. problem was that he made his views too well he known. He wrote extensively about them," he said. "Kennedy was more cautious of his opinion so people didn't have enough information to know if they were against him or not." He also said that Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is making her mark. "We take for granted that we have been self-governing for over 200 years," said Peltason. "We also take for granted that our military is not a factor in who our next leader
will be." "The United States does not have a coherent, practical foreign policy because our country is run by amateurs," said Peltason. "Anyone can be president." Peltason said the informal setting of the classroom appeals to him. He said he doesn't teach full time anymore because of his administrative duties as chancellor, but he does lecture several times a semester. The colloquium was sponsored by CSU President Bill Lillard, the department of political science and the Bureau of Governmental Services.
Finals schedule to mirror courses By Mike Chin Student Writer Beginning the fall semester students at Central State University will take their final examinations as close to the semester's class schedule as possible. That changes the policy in effect this semester. The policy now schedules final examinations during final week differently than the normal class schedule.
"Instead of a different final examination schedule, students will take their finals on the same day and time as their normal classes, or on any Closest possible date and time during final week," said Darrell E. Gilliland, CSU registrar. "If a student's normal class is on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:40 a.m. every week," Gilliland said, "then his or her
final will be scheduled at 9:40 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday of finals week." Gilliland said he hopes the new final examination will facilitate final examination planning and avoid confusion on the students' part. The new final examination schedule will appear in the 1988 Fall Schedule.
the election complaint could not be considered because the senator who filed it, Francisco Alvarez, was not a candidate in the race. The complaint charged that two of the presidential candidates had campaign signs posted on the outside of the Liberal Arts Building. But Alvarez said he was a candidate in the senate, and therefore justified in filing the complaint even though he was not running for president. Alvarez won his seat, as did the other senators who filed as candidates, by acclaimation because there were not enough candidates to fill the 22 vacant seats. Alvarez alleged that the posted signs were a direct violation of the Dean of Students' posting policy and of campaign guidelines. Alvarez said he decided to file the complaint because Steve Heffernan, another presidential candidate, did not wish to file a complaint. Alvarez added that Kilgour's ruling that he was not a candidate was inconsistent with a ruling handed down at the beginning of the election campaign period by the board, which denied Alvarez the chance to take part in election planning. Alvarez said the board denied him a chance because "they said I was a candidate for office." The complaint is the latest in a series of controversies that have surrounded the election. Before the election was held, former Sen. Lee Allen had tried to stop the election on the grounds that the administrative candidates did not
have enough signatures on their petitions. Allen had also charged that a senate candidate had campaigned prior to the campaign period. But despite the controversies, President Elect Lisa Coen said she is looking forward to the fall semester. "I would like to have a really strong Welcome Back Week," she said. Coen, a junior and an accounting major, was declared the winner by the election committee Thursday. Kilgour said 372 valid ballots had been cast in the election. Coen needed 186 to capture the majority of the vote, but came up with 153. Heffernan pulled in 119 votes, and Steve Hines, the third place finisher, received 100 votes. Coen had said during an interview before the election that she wanted to continue to improve the Student Association Senate, give more control of the budget to students, improve the commuter parking situation and to make it possible for students to see professor evaluations before enrolling in classes. Coen added that she wanted to work closely with leaders of other campus organizations to coordinate events as well. A total of 409 ballots were cast in the election, but 37 were disqualified because students voted for write-in candidates which is not allowed by the election rules committee.

rarKing lot restrictions change in summer, fall By J. Money Editor Beginning the fall 1988 semester, Central State University students will be able to park in any commuter lot they desire on Tuesdays and Thursdays. CSU President Bill Lillard's approval of the senate resolution requesting that commuter parking regulations be changed was announced at the Student Association forum held March 16. The policy actually starts this summer. It will allow commuter students during summer semesters to park in any commuter lot Monday-Friday. In an interview after announcing the approval, Student Association President Jeff Shilling said the real benefit of the resolution would be seen during the busier fall and spring semesters. Students will be allowed to choose the parking area they
desire for Monday, Wednesday and Friday classes. In addition, they will be allowed to park in whatever commuter lot they wish on Tuesday and Thursday. Shilling said that will solve the problem for students who have classes on one side of the campus three days a week and the other side of campus the other two days. "For example," Shilling said, "that would be great for nursing students who also had to take liberal arts classes." The system in effect this semester requires students to park in their designated lot from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, but they can park in any cornmuter lot they desire after 12:30 p.m. each day. When the policy goes into effect during the fall semester, students may still park in any commuter lot they wish after 12:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Viewpoints Bill would create overload of tracks
Too many tracks mean not enough profits
By Karen Hopkins Student Writer Horse racing has been around in this state for quite awhile. It started with during the days of two-bit wagers and dirt-packed Main streets and has continued right up to the current ruckus over how many race tracks should be built in the state. State statutes originally allowed for county fair boards to control horse racing. Pari -mutuel betting then meant swapping dollars behind grandstands. Today, it is a million dollar business.
Opinion Blue Ribbon Downs, site of the richest futurity in the world, is the only operating full-time pari mutuel track in Oklahoma. With a seating capacity of 2,000, its many horse racing fans have to stand to enjoy the sport. On Feb. 27, for example, the attendance at the track was 3,793. In dollar terms, that amounted to $431,585. The cost of owning and operating a race track is immense. But the more tracks the Oklahoma Racing Commission approves, the less likely that the

stands will be filled in any of them. Sallisaw's established Blue Ribbon Downs doesn't have much to worry about. Horses have to run at their track to qualify for the million dollar futurity. They have 164 race days because there are more races than can be fit into one season. Other tracks, such as the $94 million Remington Park, don't have that kind of assurance. Tulsa and Claremore have complicated the problem. They want to grab the purse strings and shuffle some of the money into their counties. A bill that approves racing in both Tulsa and Claremore has been passed in the Oklahoma Senate. For a race track to succeed, it needs more than horses; it needs people. And the more tracks that are approved, the more people it will take to fill the stands. The pari -mutuel track was a first come, first serve basis. Oklahoma City was the first to apply and it has a track that will be opening in September. The senators who voted against the Tulsa-Claremore racing bill said it would cripple horse racing in this state. They have the right idea. Sen. Stratton Taylor, D-
Claremore, suggested that if county fair racing is going to harm Remington Park, then it's not much of a track in the first place.
Taylor needs to be educated on supply and demand. There is a demand for horse racing in Oklahoma. If the supply of tracks exceeds the demand, then none of
the tracks involved will profit. The counties need to work together as a state and support the Commission-approved track in Oklahoma City.

Where do senate funds go?
I want my student activity fees refunded... By Dennis J. Ramsey Student Writer Have you ever gone to a store and purchased a product or ser-
Opinion vice only to find out it was unsatisfactory? Nine times out of 10 you simply exchange it or ask for
a refund, right? Well, that is what I'm asking for from the student senate. I want my money back! This year the Student Association received $16,000 to spend as they saw fit. That is a lot of money they have control over. A lot of our money. I don't know about you, but they never asked me where I thought some of the money should be spent. To be honest, I really do not
know where the money goes anyway. Sure, the student senate throws a few teeny-bopper parties throughout the year. But surely a few tacky balloons and crepe paper couldn't amount to $16,000. Because I am graduating this semester I feel it is time to finally register my complaint. In the four years I have attended this fine institution, the student government
has done absolutely nothing to help me in my studies, social life or anything else. I would guess they haven't done much for the rest of the student body either. Therefore, I would like to speak to the manager of the store (whoever wins the election), and ask for my money to be cheerfully refunded. The person can send my money to "an unsatisfied customer," care of The Vista.
Muslims ask for menu consideration To the Editor: Ramzan is the Hizri (lunar calendar) month of fasting. During the month, the Muslim world fasts for the satisfaction of God and to purify itself from all sin. This year, Ramzan begins about April 17, depending upon the sighting of the moon. There are many Muslims living in Central State University dorms. Most of them are preparing themselves for the month of fasting, but there is a problem which needs to be solved before Ramzan.
Letter Muslims who fast during Ramzan do not eat and drink from one hour before sunrise until sunset. They also abstain from lying, quarreling, sex, abuse and other things.

lard, or even the meat of animals and birds not killed by neck in the name of Allah. The best menu for us during Ramzan would be rice, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, bread (not baked with lard), cakes and cereals. I hope the Food Service Committee seriously considers helping CSU Muslim students honor the holy month of Ramzan. Sayed "Javed" Ahmad
They focus on developing their moral character through patience. Fasting during Ramzan is cumpulsory for all Muslims, except for those who are unable to fast due to health problems. As a preparation for fasting, Muslims eat a meal one or two hours before sunrise. The meal is called "Sehri." After sunset, Muslins eat another meal to break the fast. It is called "Iftar."
Since Muslims can't eat during the day, alternate arrangements need to be made with the campus cafeterias. I, on behalf of the Muslims on campus, earnestly request the Food Service Committee to provide the students with packet meals which could be picked up by students. Regarding the food, Muslims are not permitted to eat pork, anything made with animal oil or
Editor's Note: Bob Fields, chairperson of the Food Service Committee, said that the cafeterias will work with students who have special needs. "All students must do is talk to the cafeteria manager where they eat and sign a few forms," Fields said. He added that students with similar needs or problems can contact his office or any member of the Food Service Committee.

"Family and friends are encouraged to attend," said Allen.
Residents' rooms sprayed for bugs Now that spring has arrived and warm weather sets in at Central State University, on-campus residents may not have to worry about those multi-legged nightmares called bugs. According to Dana Christman, manager of resident housing, bugs should not be a problem this year. "We've had few if any cornplaints from the residents," said Christman. "We're using a new exterminating company and they're very good and we spray regularly." Christman said the only time there is a problem is when someone brings a box from their garage onto campus. In doing this they're giving the pests a free ride. "Once a room is sprayed there should not be a problem if you keep your room picked up and dishes cleaned," she added.

Museum of art displays 'Flashpoints' by Monica Kremeier Associate Editor "Flashpoints," a new exhibit promoting 12 Oklahoma City area artists, is designed to show the public that Oklahoma City possesses "intense talents" according to William Wallo, director of the Central State University Museum of Art. "This show is not to demonstrate that there is a 'school of Oklahoma City,' but that there are intense talents here who cannot help expressing the place where we live as well as broad and fresh artistic ideas," said Wallo. On display are artists Mark Briscoe, David Crismon, Mark Gilmore, Elizabeth Hahn, Robert Henson, George Oswalt, Lee Norwood, James Seitz, Michi Susan, Noel Torrey, Linda Warren and Laura Warriner. The artists will exhibit three to six works each. John Pickard, a CSU humanities professor who helped organize the exhibition, said the exhibit will be offered as a touring show following its display at CSU. "Each artist is a trained and
dedicated professional who has been exploring the visual bringing-into-being of complex ideas and feelings as a central part
of their life," said Pickard. The works will be on display through April 27 at the CSU Museum of Art.
Regular museum hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Lifestyle changes can reduce cancer risks by Monica Kremeier Associate Editor Most young adults can reduce their risk of getting cancer by making a few easy lifestyle changes that add up to a longer, healthier life. Experts say that eighty percent of cancer cases are the result of the way people live. According to Jackie West, Director of the Oklahoma Cancer Information Service, studies show that many illnesses are a direct result of lifestyle, and cancer is no exception. "Cigarette smoking, a high-fat diet, and excessive sun exposure, three common aspects of the young adult lifestyle, can affect a person's chances of getting cancer," said West. Information from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) indicate that 30 percent of all cancer deaths, and 85 percent of lung cancers are due to smokers. NCI statistics also show that smokers are twice as likely to develop cancer than are nonsmokers, and ten times more likely to get lung cancer. "Most of these cases could be prevented if people stopped smoking or using tobacco in any form," West said. Researchers believe about onethird of all cancer deaths may be related to the foods people eat. The average diet contains 40 percent fat. "Studies suggest some factors in the average American's diet, such as vitamins and fiber, may protect against disease, while others, such as fats, may increase
the risk," West said. She recommends that people reduce the amount of fat in their food preparation and limit fat intake to 30 percent or less of total daily calories. "An average diet for a woman usually contains 1,600 calories per day. If she reduces fat consumption to 30 pecent, 480 calories would come from fat," explained West. "An average diet for a man contains 2,400 calories per day. If he reduces fat consumption to 30 percent, 720 calories would come from fat." Studies also show eating foods high in fiber, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals, and pastas may lower the risk of cancers in the digestive system. Foods such as cabbage, carrots, oranges, grapefruits and melons are good choices because they are high in Vitamins A and C. Another good way to help prevent cancer is to avoid excessive sun exposure. West cites NCI statistics showing more than 400,000 Americans--light and dark complected alike--are afflicted with non-melanoma skin cancer every year, and "most of these cases are preventable," West said, "over 90 pecent of all cases of skin cancer are caused by overexposure to the sun." Using a sunscreen, wearing a hat, sitting under an umbrella, and avoiding the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. are some of the simple precautions that can be taken.
"These measures make it possible to spend time in the sun without the threat of undue skin cancer risk," West explained. "Not smoking, good nutrition, and sun protection are only a part
of the story when it comes to cancer prevention," West added. "Avoiding unnecessary X-rays and drinking alcohol only in moderation are other healthy lifestyle habits."

Sports Gals sweep five-straight in OCU tourney i Rolling over five foes before rain delayed the 10-team tourney, the Central State University women's softball team captured at least a runner-up finish at the Oklahoma City University Invitational Tournament at the Softball Halt of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City Friday and Saturday. The lady Bronchos are scheduled to battle tourney host OCU for the championship on April 26 on the lady Chiefs' diamond. Glady Griffin, a senior CSU hurler from Bethany, tossed a one-hitter, and fanned eight to lead the lady Bronchos to a 1-0 win over Missouri Southern in their tourney opening contest Friday morning. CSU scratched out its only run in the first inning on an RBIsingle by Sherly Dawson. A pair of walks, and a hit-batter loaded the bases for Dawson who delivered the game winner with two out. Lead-off hitter Pam Martin, who drew a game opening walk, scored the lady Broncho's lone run. Martin, Griffin, and Leslie Leg-
gett also rapped singles in the contest. It took the lady Bronchos eight innings to win their second contest of the day. Griffin again handled the mound duties, and provided 13 strikeouts to push CSU past Washburn University by an 8-4 margin. Fueled by a five-run eighth inning, the lady Bronchos snapped a 3-3 stalemate, and earned a fourrun lead in their final trip to the plate. Jane Kajs, a junior lady Broncho pitcher from Texas, held the Cameron lady Aggies to five hits and one run to produce CSU's third win of the tourney. Cindy George provided the firepower for Kajs' second win of the season. The freshman third baseman hammered a two-run single in the second inning to give CSU all the runs they needed to post the win. Griffin scored the the first lady Broncho run in the game after reaching on a lead-off basehit. Dawson popped a single, stole a base, and scored CSU's second run.
Griffin took the mound for the third time in the tourney in the lady Bronchos final contest Friday night. The senior hurler held Northeastern State University to a pair of hits, and struck out a dozen batters as CSU topped NSU 3-0. Griffin also ripped a pair of hits and scored two runs to boost her own effort. Dawson again delivered the game-winning RBI. The lady Bronchos faced Incarnate Word in their final contest of the rain-delayed event, and handed the Texas team a 7-0 setback. Griffin tossed a three-hit ball game, and fanned seven in the contest. Leggett, a sophomore lady Broncho second baseman, produced a pair of hits in four trips to the plate, and scored two runs to aid the CSU effort. CSU was scheduled to face OCU in the tourney final Saturday evening, but the event was called because of rain. The lady Bronchos, boasting a 15-4 season mark, will entertain Cameron University on the lady Broncho field at 2:30 p.m. today.
Savages saddle Bronchos in diamond doubleheader earned a hit in three at bats, and scored the only Broncho run of the game. Stout, a senior third baseman from Spiro, ripped a single in two trips to the plate. CSU sophomore Jay Sparks scattered five hits in seven innings, and struck out three Savage batters, but fell to 1-4 this season. Four Southeastern hurlers held the Bronchos to four hits in the nightcap to complete the sweep. Savage starter Paul Brown surrendered a pair of hits through three innings, and fanned five. Reliever Jamie Farris, tossing two innings, earned the win.
Dropping both ends of afternoon twinbill against Southeastern State University, the Central State University baseball team slipped to 11-16 on the year after the Savages handed Coach Bobby Hunt's crew 4-1 and 5-1 losses. Southeastern starter Dan Splitler held the Bronchos to just two hits in the opener. The Savage hurler fanned nine Bronchos, and went the distance to pick up his fifth-straight win this spring. Mike Morrow and Chuck Stout managed the only CSU hits. Morrow, a first baseman from Tuttle,
Brian Burden, a sophomore righthander from Drumwright, was saddled with his third loss of the season. Burden gave up six hits in his seven-inning effort, and struck out two. Curtis Underwood, handling the designated hitter chores, produced a pair of singles in the loss. Broncho second baseman Shawn Shaw, a sophomore from Del City, earned the only other Broncho hit in the ball game. Morrow was hitless in the second game, but scored another Broncho run in the fourth inning.

Top-ranked lady Bronchos' Galsinet team future rests on Griffin's arm nips Cameron When the season started, lady Broncho coach Gerry Pinkston said that if three-time All-American hurler Gladys Griffin had as good a year as she did as a freshman and sophomore, Central State University softball would be back in the top ten in the nation. Midway through her final season, Griffin boasts a 6-3 record, has tossed a pair of nohitters, and is averaging nearly two strikeouts a game. Last week the lady Bronchos jumped to sixth in the National Intercollegiate Athletic Association's national poll, and Pinkston said, "if Gladys continues to pitch like she has we can do really well". Athough Griffin's armed with a solid offensive punch, four lady Bronchos sport better than .300 marks at the plate this season, the talented CSU team's future may well rest on the arm of steady senior. But the pressure, and Pinkston's expectations, dosen't bother Griffin. "That makes me fell like they have confidence in me. I like the pressure. I'm a pressure player," said Griffin. When Griffin, started her pitching career, in little league, she said she didn't have a
choice. "My coach put me on the mound because I had a strong arm. Everything just came easy. I could throw hard." Like her little league coaches, Pinkston noticed
Griffin's strong arm, and put her on the mound. But the rest of the choices were left up to Griffin. Nine games and 95 strikeouts into the season, Pinkston is probably satisfied with her pitcher's decision.

Men's squad suffers sixth loss Jenny Bautista and Jennie Biswell slammed through the toptwo singles matches, and Kathie Swink and Julie Skelton provided another pair of wins to lead the Central State University women's tennis team to a 5-4 win over Cameron Univeristy in Lawton Tuesday afternoon. "This was a good win for us today. Due to the high winds, this was more a test of mental toughness rather than just physical skill," said lady Broncho coach Francis Baxter. Bautista, a two-time National Intercollegiate Athletic Association All-American, drubbed Cathleen McClughan 7-6, 6-2 in the top lady Broncho singles match. Bautista then teamed up with Raquelle Willette to handle McClugan and Nikki Ritt in the number one doubles match 4-6, 6-2, 6-0. Willette, a junior from Laguna Beach, Calif, suffered a three-set loss in her first match of the day. Cathy McCann dealt the two-time letter winner a 6-7, 6-4, 6-0 setback in the third singles struggle. Biswell, a freshman from Plano, Texas topped Nikki Ritt in the second singles contest 6-2, 7-6. Slamming foes in the fourth and fifth singles matches, Swink and Skelton provided the punch

the lady Bronchos needed to overcome their District-9 rivals from Lawton. Swink, a junior from Oklahoma City, toppled Gwen Clark 7-5, 6-3. Skelton earned a three-set win over Lisa Bledsaw 6-1, 3-6 and 6-4. Kathy Brunette, in her first season of play at CSU, fell to Tiger Herrera 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 in the final singles contest. The lady Aggies dominated the final two doubles matchers, but Bautista and Willette's success pushed the lady Broncho past the Cameron crew. The win provided Baxter's lady Bronchos with their third win of the season. The CSU outfit has been saddled with three losses. The CSU men's tennis team, struggling with a disappointing 2-6 season mark, lost a 6-1 match to Oklahoma City University Tuesday in Oklahoma City. Broncho Tom Schmidt, a sophomore from Supulpa, provided the only CSU victory in the match. The steady number six singles player edged Brad Trost in three sets, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. "I was glad to see Tom pick up a win. He has lost several other three-setters and this win today will do a lot for his confidence," said Baxter. The top five Broncho singles performers dropped two-set matches to the OCU squad. CSU took the top doubles match to three sets, but Phil DesJardins and Rob Autry lost the 3-6, 7-6, 6-1 contest to Colin Hill and Like Leighton. The lady Bronchos will face Oklahoma City University today at 1:30 p.m on the CSU courts. The men will travel to Shawnee to battle Oklahoma Baptist University at 1:30 p.m.

Allen, student senate dispute flares by Jo McClellan Student Writer
The controversy began on October 5. T. Lee Allen, a Student Association senator, presented three resolutions concerning the AIDS issue. The resolutions called for a nondiscriminatory policy towards persons with AIDS, an AIDS awareness week and condom dispension at the Student Health Center. He contends he was inspired to write the proposals because of statistical information resulting from a campus wide survey done during the spring 1987 semester. "They (the Student Senate) spent all this money and time last year to do a big certified survey of the student population, — Allen said. "It specifically said that 77 percent of the entire student population wanted condoms available at the student health center," Allen added. The survey, titled Central State University Student Survey Summary Report, asked for opinions concerning a variety of campus topics. Question 16 asked whether information on the use of contraception and sexually transmitted diseases should be dispensed confidentially to students at the Student Health Center. Of the 518 students who responded, 74.7 percent were in favor and 13.9 percent were against. The remaining 11.4 percent either had no opinion or did not respond. Allen, who has been a senator for seven years, said the student senate told him they would take care of the issue by the fall 1987 semester. "Over the course of the summer it became quite apparent that no one wanted to touch the ball. That whole issue is a touchy subject to some people. They didn't want to get into any of that negative publicity that might have been attached to it. So I said `Fine, if they're going to drop the ball, I'm going to pick it up,'. I picked up the ball and wrote the legislation and that thoroughly incensed them." Allen cites the Oct. 8 survey by The Vista as support. The informal poll showed a majority in
0
favor of all three resolutions. Yet, in the senate two of Allen's AIDS proposals barely passed during the Oct. 5 vote. Both the nondiscriminatory policy and the condom dispension issue passed narrowly with senate approval. The AIDS awareness week resolution, voted on Oct. 12, however, did receive majority approval. The nondiscriminatory policy was approved by the President of the Student Association Senate, Jeff Shilling.
'I think Lillard's veto had a lot to do with his concern for the public community in Edmond. I think the liability issue was a convenient out. We did research during that time and since, and we see no justification
first week. It's slowed down some considerably now, but it's still being used so obviously there is a need for this activity here." Allen added that although he sees loopholes in the nondiscriminatory policy, he realizes it will provide effective guidelines. He also believes the response to AIDS Awareness Week was positive by the student body. Following the passing of an AIDS resolution calling for education and communication about the disease, Allen resigned from the senate. He said he was "spinning his wheels". At the time he felt he could be more effective outside of the student senate. He has since changed his mind. Allen decided to run for Student Association President in the election to be held April 6. Because he did not attend a mandatory meeting required for all candidates his petition to run was voided. According to Allen, he submitted a memo stating a work con-
for the liability.' On Oct. 20 Shilling approved the resolution for condom dispension on campus, and on Nov. 16 he approved the AIDS Awareness Week resolution. At the beginning of the spring semester, the senate approved the nondiscriminatory policy developed in part by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education which was presented by Shilling on Jan. 25. The following Tuesday CSU President Bill Lillard vetoed the condom resolution citing possible university liability if the condoms failed to protect individuals from contracting AIDS. In response to this, Allen, with a group of other students, created a condom service. "I think Lillard's veto had a lot to do with his concern for the public community in Edmond. I think the liability issue was a convienent out. We did research during that time and since, and we see no justification for the liability." Allen says the condom service has been very successful. "We had a major influx of calls the

ly via a memo authored and circulated by Shilling to senators. The memo outlined changes and accomplishments by the senate. It also offered advice and aid to the senators by Shilling. The election committee voided the charge. The other charge stated that the other presidential candidates were lacking the required amount of signatures to be considered on the ballot. The charge, based on resolution 83-212, required 100 signatures instead of the 50 required by present rules. The committee voided that charge as well, based on a bylaw passed in 1985. The bylaw, found in the new constitution, voided resolution 83-212 and gave the election committee the authority to set the rules governing elections. Allen filed suit with the Central State University Supreme Court; however, the case was not heard. Improper appeal procedure was the reason stated by Supreme Court Chief Justice Larry Free.

flict as the reason for his absence, which was within the legal guidelines of senate rules. Election Committee Chairman Glen Kilgour said the memo did not reach him in time for Allen to still be considered a candidate. Allen contends that Kilgour, as well as others in the senate, are biased against him. He says, for example, that the nondiscriminatory policy that he wrote failed passage because of personality conflicts. "They saw my name attached, and they voted it down, " Allen said. When the administration presented their nondiscriminatory policy, Allen contends that the senate "rubber stamped it". Allen's petition to run on the election ballot was officially voided in an election committee meeting April 1. Following that meeting Allen submitted two charges of election rule violations to the committee. One charge stated that former Student Association President Jeff Shilling was campaigning ear-
