Yearbook makes Diamond Jubilee •

In Washington D.C., the Smithsonian Institute will sponsor the Smithsonian 1982 Folklife Festival June 24-28 and July 1-5. Guthrie will be holding 89er week, April 22-24, to honor the 1889 land run. Events include a rodeo, carnival and a parade on the 24th. Gene Authry will be there as Grand Marshall.

By Jeanette McLaughlin This year's Bronze Book has been sanctioned by the Diamond Jubilee Commission as one of the official publications to celebrate Oklahoma's 75th anniversary of statehood, according to Dr. Stan Hoig, director of university publications. The 1982 edition of the Bronze Book will feature the history of Oklahoma and that of Central State's history pictorially while using the Diamond Jubilee theme, "You're Doin' Fine Oklahoma," taken from the popular play "Oklahoma." "We're excited about it," said Mae Minster, one of the six editors who have worked on the Bronze Book publication. Other editors are Lisa Henson, editor in chief; Eric Oesch, Tricia Uselton, Janet Garrett, and Monty Coats. Yearbooks are still available. Oklahoma became a state on September 17, 1907. Festivities for the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee began in the fall of 1981 and will continue through 1982.

A dedication of the completion of the renovation and updating of state historical sites will be held on April 17 in Ft. Washita. Festivities include square dancing, mule races, a pony express race, a rope pull, Chickasaw Indian dancers from Madill and black powder men from El Reno. Ft. Washita will be celebrating their 140 anniversary of the fort there. Ft. Gibson will also be holding a dedication on April 23-25. A living history reenactment will take place, where a camp will be set up for public observation. An opening of photographic scenes will also be exhibited along with a military band performing military entertainment.

Spring is a time for relaxation, sitting in the warm sunshine with good friends and a guitar. Students had that opportunity this week as Oklahoma was graced with beautiful weather, providing a much needed break before finals begin.

Sick ticks crash picnic, give fever One death this year has already been reported, Irene G. McMichael, 52, of Oklahoma City, who died April 9. Last year, 98 fever cases were reported, with 8 fatalities. Tick removal can be accomplished without undue problems, said Smith. The tick may be covered with petroleum jelly, alcohol or fingernail polish, which will suffocate it and make it back out. The insect may also be touch-

By Kim McConnell Spring is a time for baseball, frisbee, suntans, picnics—and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is an infectious disease transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected tick, according to Beverly Smith of the state health department. The fever's symptoms are similar to those of the flue, said Smith. Three to 10 days after the infected tick has attached itself, the victim will develop a definite fever, chills, and headache or muscle aches. One to three days later, a measle-like rash will appear on the ankles and wrist, spreading to the rest of the body. The disease cannot be transmitted unless the tick has been attached for at least two hours, Smith emphasized. The illness can be treated with tetracycline, an antibodic, and a near 100 percent recovery rate can be expected. Without treatment, however, the death rate is 20 percent.

ed with a hot object, or firmly grasped with tweezers and firmly and slowly pulled out, taking care to grasp it as near to the head as possible. Smith emphasized the importance of getting the head as well as the body, as the head can still transmit the disease if left in the human body. She also advised against touching the tick with fingers since its body can secrete a substance which will also transmit

the disease. The area should then be washed with an antiseptic. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is transmitted through infected ticks, one human cannot give it to another, said Smith. Also, the tick does not have to be attached to n dog, a common myth. The ticks are found in tall grass or wooded areas. People who spend much time outdoors, particularly children in rural or suburban areas, are more likely to ,

be exposed. Anyone spending time in "danger" areas should check themselves every two hours and any ticks should be removed immediately. Spring and summer are the danger seasons, particularly after a mild winter. According to statistics, eastern and central Oklahoma reported most of the cases fever, with Tulsa and Oklahoma counties ranking at the top.

Lack of housing creates problems ,

By Nicholas Udumaga "Edmond has a serious shortage of housing," said Mayor Reherman. Edmond has become a popular bedroom community, besides being a college town. The city has about 95 percent occupancy rate on apartments and most rental units have long waiting lists. Jack Mulkey, director of economic development for Ed-

mond Chamber of Commerce, thinks the problem is not serious. "The only problem is the price of houses. There's not many low priced houses in Edmond. Houses in Edmond are available from the mid-range up, say from $75,000 and up," said Mulkey. "One solution would be to build more apartment complexes this year," said Mulkey. "If we cannot afford the payments on houses. . .investors may be moving more into apartments and condominiums. I think you'll find there will be more condominiums built in Edmond this year," Mulkey added. The manager of Whitson apartments, Darlene Wreen, agreed there is a housing problem in Edmond. Housing is insufficient and to expensive." Kickingbird apartments manager, Sandra Musgrove, said, "I don't believe Edmond has a housing problem. There is an apartment shortage but there are

plenty of new homes in Edmond." Two realtors had different views on this issue. Nancy Midkiff of Abide Realtors thinks the problem is serious. Mo Anderson of Century 21 Titan disagrees. She maintains ". . .The housing situation in Edmond is wonderful. . We have homes in almost any price range. We do have a shortage in the $150,000-$250,000 price range. Outside of that, we have homes in every price range and the market is very, very good. It's busy and active." As for the "low, low" price range (under $40,000) housing units, Anderson said that Edmond does not have many workers in that category, except for students. Builder Phil Hutto, owner/partner of Westwood Homes, said, "We do not have a abundance of homes, apartments or rental property. It's come to a head recently." Edmond has 98

.

percent occupancy rate, which is pretty high, he added. "Surely, we do have housing problems in Edmond," said Sabinus Eke, physics graduate student. "For instance, it takes about six months to find accommodations outside the campus." A month after he moved into an apartment, the rent went from $180 to $275. Like Eke, Rahimi [raj was agitated over the problem. "Yes," he said, "we have a housing problem in Edmond and it is serious, especially for foreign students." He prefers 4f-campus housing to the CSU dormitories. However, Raimi is upset because, he said he pays $400 a month for two bedrooms at Kickingbird. Rahimi said the total number of housing accommodations (dorms and married apartments) at CSU should be checked against the student population of 12,004. Records show that, at Continued on page 6

Opinion Page For one thing

Professor 'hard to judge' Excellence in a college professor is rarely rewarded. For one thing, it's hard to judge. Students seem to sadly lack an organized way to recognize the outstanding teachers, the ones we think are good--not the ones the administrators like or the ones who get along well with other faculty--the ones who make a difference in our lives. We reward the good teachers with our attention and increased enrollment. We punish the bad teachers with backstabbing criticisms and disrespect. Big deal. The two are still paid the same. Maybe, teachers are human, too, and start to wonder if their work means anything. Maybe they start wondering if it makes any difference. To all the professors who may have ever wondered, it does make a difference. It makes such a difference. When you talk, it's not with boredom, even though you've given the lecture too many times. Your voice expresses fervor and concern. Somehow, you lead our thoughts to new planes and we get caught up in new ideas. Because you are excited, we are excited. You encourage discussion and welcome questions, answering with courtesy to the questioner. You're constantly trying to improve,

Relationship perhaps 'last straw' To The Editor:

Suicidal behavior has been widely commented upon in psychoanalytic literature, and its mechanisms are apparently akin to those of alcoholism, reckless driving, self-mutilation and violent anti-social acts. Suicide often results from multiple and complex motivations. Its main causes include mental disorder (primarily depression), social factors (disappointment and loss), personality abnormalities (impulsivity and agression) and physical illnesses. Some if not all of the enumerated factors may contribute to the crisis that results in suicidal act; often one factor, commonly a disruption in impor-

many suicides, there is evidence of an aggressive component so that the suicidal act is directed at other significant persons. Suicides preceded by homicide furnish clear evidence of aggression, as does the high incidence of suicide among prisoners serving terms for violent crimes. Depression accounts for more than half of all attempted suicides or parasuicides. Marital disharmony, broken and unhappy love affairs, dispute with parents among the young, and recent bereavements may precipitate the depression which in turn will culminate in suicide. Alcohol predisposes to suicidal acts

by aggravating the intensity of any depressive mood swing and by lowering self-control. Despite all available treatment and usually after several attempts or threats of suicide, many suicidal patients will eventually succeed in killing themselves, leaving their physicians, families and friends with strong feelings of guilt for not having prevented the latest attempt. In such situations, the physician and the patient's family must realize that they are not omnipotent and that the patient's eventual successful suicide was ultimately not preventable.

Students should shoulder responsibility _ By Patricia Uselton Isn't it about time something was done about the Broncho Apartments laundry rooms? Equipment in these laundry rooms, provided by Central State for the married student housing complexes, are notorious for breaking down. The washers eat quarters by the handfuls and detergent for dessert. The dryers work, usually, but the temperature gauges are set so high that wrinkles are virtually pressed into the laundry. The washers have kicked-in panels, the walls are laced with graffiti and the floors haven't seen a mop in weeks. Despite the utility shelf build into one wall, there really isn't any place clean to fold clothes.

Perhaps the waste of time and money on the machines would be more understandable if the machines were old. But recently half of the washers were replaced by new machines designed for heavy duty. Already three of the eight are out-of-order! According to officials at the Housing Office, everything that can be done to improve the laundry room conditions is being done. One of the first suggestions proposed to the Housing Office was to employ someone part-time to supervise the laundry rooms. Unfortunately, doing that would mean consolidating all the on-campus laundries to one loca-

THE DRUNK TICK Once upon a time in a land far away, There lived a little bug named Jerry-Jay. He had no family and he lived all alone No one really cared if he'd stay or go! He lived under a leaf by a big, black stick. He was no one's friend, 'cause Jerry's a tick! Well, one afternoon, 'bout two or three, I found this critter attached to me. As I pulled him away and started to squeeze, I heard this critter let out a terrible sneeze! As I looked down in a startled dismay; He said, Please sir, let me stay." I couldn't believe my ears,

tion, making a trip to the Central State laundry not much different from a trip downtown. Also, the cost of paying one attendant would mean reducing laundry hours, putting a burden on students who work full-time and take classes. Conditions won't improve until the tenants at Married Student Housing take a larger role in preventing children and careless adults from abusing the machines. Until the students take responsibility for the condition of the laundries, there won't be much reason to have them at all.

I found a tick with a human fear! So I thought I'd sit next to a rock and listen to this "tick talk." He said, "I'm lonely, and I ain't got no friends, I'd really like to apologize for my habitual sins." He said, "I love blood, it's just my style, But please sir, change me, make me worthwhile!" So, I handed him a "Coors" and with a mile wide grin He said, "Thank you, sir, will you be my friend?" So, I gave him a case and a little handshake And told him to go and have a good day! So, he trotted off happy; a little drunk, too! He broke his habit -- sucking blood, he's through! By Jimmy Gilbreath

. Sigma Alpha Eta Provides Speech Therapy to Easter Seals Telethon Sigma Alpah Eta staffed the annual Easter Seals Telethon this year at Penn Square in Oklahoma City. CSU students provided speech therapy services for approximately 30 children and adults at the Oklahoma Society for Cripple Children, Easter Seals. Also, Sigma Alpha Eta administered hearing screenings at the Edmond Health Fair. Speech Pathology students conduct the speech and hearing screenings for the teacher education program. This, along with seeing patients at the CSU speech and hearing clinic provides valuable in-service training for student clinicians. In order to increase their professional knowledge, Sigma Alpha Eta has sponsored trips to

three Oklahoma speech and hearing association conferences in Tulsa and Oklahoma City. CSU has the largest student delegation of any of the Oklahoma universities. The CSU speech and hearing clinic is headed by Dr. Howard Hackworth and Dr. Roy Rowland. Each semester senior clinicians are choosen. Their role is to help and encourage beginning clinicians. The senior clinicians at CSU this semester are Tracy Watson and Patti Thompson. "When you decide to go into speech pathology it requires a great commitment of time and energy," said Thompson. "The clinic at CSU is very professionally run."

Clinicians must accumulate 200 hours in various areas of speech pathology in addition to completing the necessary course work before graduation. In order to receive a Certification of Clinical Competence (CCC) a student must complete a masters degree, complete 300 hours, take the national board and be observed for one year by someone who has a CCC. Sigma Alpha Eta's officers this year are Janet King, president; Carmen Snow, vice president; Lisa Eckstein, secretary; Laurie Parson, treasurer; Patti Thompson, historian and Barbara Toumbs, parlimentarian. This May is declared Good Speech and Hearing month.

Temporary service firms offer jobs With graduation imminent, prospective jobseekers hope to be in the right place at the right time. While some will have difficulty finding jobs, others have a winn-

million temporary workers an opportunity top upgrade existing skills, learn new ones and make contacts for permanent work. There are several advantages for students using temporary employment. Temporary work offers flexible hours which lends itself to the schedule of student life. Working as a temporary during vacation and semester breaks assures students on-the-job experience and helps them establish networks for permanent job hunting. Students' questions about a company's employment picture can be answered during temporary assignments. As a result students have an opportunity to determine which business environment best suits their interests. The first step to consider is

which temporary service firm to work for and make an appointment. Most firms interview test and match their applicants to suitable assignments. College students who type their own term papers often qualify as junior of senior typist. Some students with note taking abilities work junior secretaries. Manpower matches its temporary employees to assignment with the Predictable Performance System, a validated interviewing and skills measurement program . developed exclusively for temporary office consists of systematic interviewing, skills measurement, evaluation and recognition which all contribute to pedictable success of temporary workers. People often confuse temporary service firms with employment agenies. The two are not alike. Temporary service firms are employers that provide jobs

for their own temporary employees. Employment agenies are job brokers for people looking specifically for permanent employment. If the agency finds a student a job, it collects a fee. Temporary service firms like Manpower receive no fee for a customer offers a permanent job. Wages for temporary workers vary from city to city and from assignment to assignment. Salaries start at rates above minimum wage and increase depending on skill level. For example, a temporary worker can earn from $4 an hour stuffing envelopes to $8 an hour for a legal secretary assignment to $15 an hour for accounting work. Usually, the higher the skill level, the better the pay. The office workers most needed by Manpower are: typists, secretaries, billing clerks, assistant bookkeepers and office operators.

Spring Walkfest promotes good exercise, health Now that Spring is finally breaking through, students can take advantage of the sun and fresh air. For those who would like to participate in the 75th Diamond Jubilee Spring Walkfest, they can do so at 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 24 and 25. The Walkfest will take place at Stanley Draper Lake at S.E. 104th and Staley Draper Drive. The walkfest is not to raise money for a charity. It is just for the fun and exercise that each participant receives when he participates. It is an organized hike or walk which usually covers a distance of 6-12 miles. The walks are often routed through forest, wooded areas or near historic or scenic areas. It is not a contest of speed or endurance. All participants travel at their own pace, but must complete the event before 6 p.m. that evening. Walkfests or Volksmarches are extremely popular in Europe. Over 8 million people particpated in over 1500 European Volksmarches in 1980. The walkfest encourages outdoor physical activity by providing a non-competitive event. One of the bonuses of the walkfest is that each participant that purchases a start card and completes the course receives an attractive souvenir medal. After selecting the desired distance and paying the registration fee, the participant receives a "start card." The start card must be stamped at the "control points" marked and the participant may walk, jog or run the route. In addition to collecting medals, an individual may enroll in the International Volkssport Verband (IVV) awards program by purchasing an IVV event and distance pin and cloth award patch upon completion of milestones. The awards are earned for completing 10, 30, 50 and every 25 thereafter IVV sanction events and for completing about 310 miles in IVV sactioned events: Volksmarches are non-profit activities and every effort is made to keep cost of participation at a nominal level. The fee per person is $4 for those who pre-register and $5 per person on the days of the event. Registration is through April 23. Checks should be made payable to Wandergruppe of Oklahoma City, and should be sent to Leslie H. Weeks 2730 N.W. 20th Oklahoma City.

Free outdoor concert 'rocks' this Saturday "Saturday in the park, I think it was the Fourth of July." The rock group, Chicago, certainly did not have CSU in mind when they released this tune in the mid-seventies. But perhaps the members of the CSU Cultural Arts Committee had the song in mind when they planned their second outdoor concert, Saturday in the Park II. The concert, organized by the popular arts division of the committee, will be presented in front of the Broncho Field House from noon until 9 p.m. Saturday. Four local rock groups will be featured in the event, which is free and open to university students and staff. The first band, Hijynx, is an Enid based group and the only one to feature a female singer in the concert. The group specialized in music by Pat Benetar, Rush, Journey and Foreigner. Jokers Y'ilde, an Oklahoma City band, will follow. This group

emphasizes rhythm and blues as well as soul music. Fyre, the third band, is from Edmond and focuses on a harder rock sound, doing selections from groups like AC/DC and Nazareth. The final group, Excalliber, is also from Edmond and was recently hailed by Jam Magazine as one of Oklahoma's greatest bands. The group's performance varies from hard rock to new wave and features a light show as part of its production. Each group will play for an hour and 45 minutes, with a 45 minute break between each for restaging, Parkson Enterprises is providing a mobile disco for intermission entertainment, with music being supplied by Randy's Records of Edmond. Destiny, Inc., an Oklahoma City production firm, will handle all of the acoustics and lighting, as well as the technical aspects of the event.

"We're planning a sound output of 5200 watts," explained Don Jaeger, committee member. "That's the equivalent of about 6000 home stereo units." The CSU maintenance department is providing the ground work and electrical hook-ups, while the athletic department is providing the facilities. The University Center Activities Board will sell concessions during the performance. For the protection of the audience, four security guards will patrol the parking lot and crowds. All university rules will be strictly enforced. "No alcoholic beverages or drugs will be allowed," says Jaeger, "and soft drinks should be in cans only, no glass bottles." Listeners are urged to bring blankets for seating and invited to participate in frisbee games and other outdoor activities before the concert begins.

Plays challenge student directors •

By Melissa Vierheller It's high noon in Gopher Gulch. The saloon is on one corner. The jail is on the other. A gunfight could break out any minute. Dodge City, it's not, but Gopher Gulch has a gunfighter, a saloon girl, a preacher, a banker and cowboys—everything any self-respecting western fan could ask for. The western town will come to life in "The Death and Life of Sneaky Fitch," one of two stu-

dent productions being presented by the CSU drama department 8 p.m., tonight through Saturday in Mitchell Hall. "The Indian Wants the Bronx," a drama about an East Indian who gets separated from his son in New York, will be the other play presented, giving theater goers a opportunity to see contrasting productions. What is unique about a student productions? Scott Gordon, director of "The Indian Wants the Bronx" and

Linda Arbuckle, director of "Sneaky Fitch," both agree that the biggest difference is the relaxed atmosphere. And the actors and actresses agree. However, even in a relaxed atmosphere it's sometimes difficult to give acting directions to your friends. "It can be both a curse and a blessing," said Arbuckle, a senior theater major. "My friends are used to telling me exactly what they think. But they've given me some very good suggestions." Gordon, a sophomore theater major, who has acted in numerous CSU productions, added that often it's hard not to tell the actors how to read a line. Do the actors and actresses take student directors seriously?

For the most part, yes, said Arbuckle. "Cooperation has been a key word during the production. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Everyone has been great," she said. Ellen Ward, who plays the saloon girl, Maroon, in "Sneaky Fitch," explained that giving everything you have isn't difficult when you work with your peers and everyone is in the same boat. If the play is a success, the entire cast looks good. Brett Dotter, who plays "Sneaky Fitch," explained it another way. "Every chance you get to be on stage is so rare that you must give it all of your energy and determination," he said.

MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE

Date: April 14, 15, & 16 Wed. - Fri. Time: 9:00-2:00 and 5:00-7:00

There's an endless frontier of need out there. stretching from the Sahara to the Andes to the Atolls of the South Pacific. In 20 years. 80.000 Peace Corps volunteers have traveled to all of them, to work with people in over 60 countries. They've done everything from helping villagers dig wells and build houses, to teaching them languages and skilled trades. to giving advice on farming and health care. Join a phenomenal tradition. The difference is a better world. and a better you .

And energy and dedication is one thing that a student director must have. According to Gordon, the director is responsible for the overall concept of the show. And it's hard to make it all come together. "It's hard to get a message across especially since we don't have as much experience as directors," Gordon said. And for Arbuckle, who has directed two other plays, "Sneaky Fitch" was a particular challenge. "Directing 17 people was a whole new experience. It was difficult at first to figure out where everyone should go," she said. However, it's not only the challenge that drives the student director. "I think it's worthwhile to make people happy, to make them think, to make them feel special," said Gordon. "And both 'The Death and Life of Sneaky Fitch' and 'The Indian Wants the Bronx' promise you the chance to experience all of these." Admission for students and faculty is free with an I.D. card. General admission is $2 per person and reservations may be made by calling 341-2980, Ext. 513 between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Jump-a-thon ropes funds By June Homesley A large crowd participated in the jump-rope-a-thon Monday night to raise contributions for the American Heart Association. There were people of all ages at the Jump Rope for Heart contest sponsored by the Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER) club.

Some of the groups that were participating were athletes, fraternities, the PE faculty, ROTC, staff members, even people who came and just wanted to jump.

the event with non-stop music and jtmiping which lasted until 10 p.m. Refreshments such as water, orange juice and grape juice were also served.

The contest started at 7 p.m. Disc jockey Tom Parker from KCSC supplied the music. Twenty-two teams participated in

There were various techniques the contestants used while jumping. For example, jumping rope on a trampoline which was done

by Coach Marlon Gay. "I jumped on a trampoline because the floor would hurt my knee," he says, "its also a good way of cheating." Some were even jumping on their arms and legs like Junior Tony Akins who was representing Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. Some were quite confident of

Stone age depicted in fire search For years motion pictures like "Star Wars," "Star Trek" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" have excited our imagination by taking us far into the distant future. Now 20th Century-Fox presents a motion picture which takes us to a time that is just as unknown and mysterious. . .the distant past. "Quest For Fire" is a sciencefantasy adventure set 80,000 years ago, a period when men lived as

members of fiercely loyal tribes, scattered throughout a vast, unexplored world. These tribes-- some of them savage, others peaceful--battle each other and their environment for survival. "Quest For Fire" is an adventure of three courageous warriors who venture beyond the safety of their tribal campsite when their fire is destroyed during a battle with a rival but more primitive tribe. Although these warriors possessed fire, they did not yet

know how to create it. In the course of their perlious journey to find another source of the sacred, life-giving flame, they encounter vicious Sabertooth Tigers, cannibals who nearly take them captive and they discover the secret of how to make fire. Although it is rated R, the film has been applauded by educators as a unique and important produclion, teaching us about our ancestors and the beginnings of our civilization while entertaining

Housing shortage Continued from page 1 capacity, university housing accommodates only 12 percent or 1,471 students. Michael Keen, CSU graduate, does not see Edmond housing problems as serious. It's not a problem as long as you have money," Keen said. He conceded that, "there's a shortage lack of inexpensive housing in Edmond." CSU's Director of Auxiliary Enterprises, Robert Fields, who is also responsible for housing, said, "It's very difficult to get an apartment on campus. We have probably 100 people on a waiting list." Rent for a two-bedroom furnished apartment range from $275 monthly plus electricity at The Corners apartments, to $414, with all bills paid at Kickingbird apartments. One-bedroom furnished apartments at Sheperd Arms range from $185 plus electricity to $354 with all bills paid at Kickingbird. Two-bedroom unfurnished apartments vary from $255 monthly plus electricity at The Corners apartments to $390 plus electricity at Brentwood Forest apartments. One-bedroom apartment rent, ranged from $220 monthly plus electricity at The Corners apartments to $335 plus electricity at Brentwood Forest apartments.

CSU operates the least expensive apartment complexes at $140 per month with all bills paid for a one-bedroom unfurnished apartment to $155 for two-bedroom apartments. Although rent is high it does not necessarily mean the extra money goes to property owners. Apartment manages pointed out that most of the money is spent on apartment maintenance. Especially labor and housekeeping materials. Mayor Reherman, Mulkey, Midkiff, and Hutto say the outcome is an increase in property value. They predict that if the interest rate falls, there will be a graver shortage of housing because some investors are waiting for that possibility. "We have to lower interest rates so investors can build more apartments. Right now, they're not building because it costs too much to borrow money. . .we have 16-18 percent interest. Get the interest down to 10 or 12 and maybe they could do it," said Midkiff. David Giacomo of the Community Development Department (City of Edmond) lamented Reagan's economic freeze on government funding. "The Edmond Urban Renewal Authority has encouraged private developers to apply for Federal money to

build subsidized housing units. The last applications were approved, but were not funded by the government under the Reagan administration ," Giacomo complained. Only two such projects exist in Edmond at this time. One is the Oklahoma Christian apartments, managed by Mrs. Ann Graham, who said, "we have a grant to provide housing to senior citizens who are low income. " The other project is Wrenn's Whitson Apartments. "This is a government subsidized project, of only 82 units. The government could build 500 low income apartments on this lot at Bryant and Campbell, and it wouldn't be too many for Edmond," said Wrenn. A survey by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board which was conducted May—June 1981, showed that Edmond had a total of 16,363 Housing units (all types). Singlefamily units were 12,685 or 78 percent of total units. Multifamily units were 2,578 or 16 percent while mobile homes were 1,100 or 7 percent.

The film is a Michael Gruskoff Presentation of an ICCInternational Cinema Corporation Production, the Jean-Jacques Annual Film stars Everest McGill, Rai Down Chong, Ron Perlman and Nameer El-Kadi. It was based on a novel written by J.H. Rosny, St. The music is by Phillippe Sarde.

In France, the book upon which the film was based is required reading in the public schools and the film itself was endorsed by numerous scholars as an event which all students should have the opportunity to experience. The French Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voted "Quest For Fire" the Best Picture of the Year Award, the equivalent of the Oscar, and in the United States the film was voted a special Best Picture Prize by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films.

Dr. Kathleen Black, professor of HPE&R, also had a good reaction about the event, the participants, and their willingness to help.

Trackers set to defend District title Coach Paul Parent and members of the CSU men's track team are making final preparations for the annual district nine track meet which will take place here on Friday. It was about a year ago that Parent and his speedsters took the

crown and upset the mighty OCC Eagles, who had ruled district nine track and field for several years. During the 1981 season, CSU failed to win the district nine title in cross country, but came back to end OCC's dominance by winning

the district nine track and field championship, due in part to the tremendous running of AllAmerican Delman Porter. This year, CSU has already won the District Nine title in cross country and is hoping to make it a double by winning the District Nine title in track and field. "It would be nice to win back to back championships and I think we have a good chance." commented Parent. There will be a total of 35 athletes competing for the Bronchos, in both the running and field events. Some key figures for the Bronchos will be All-Americans Ronnie Parks, Charlie Cedeno, Kenny King, Rick Baker and Robert Diggs. "There is no doubt that we have a strong, well-balanced team," said Parent. "We will have to run smart, because everyone will be pumped up and winning a race won't be easy; anything can happen." OCC will be the team to beat in the distance events, while Southwestern will have the stronger sprinting team. "I feel that we can compete well in the distance, sprints, and field events. This is what we will need to do

if we are going to win our second district nine title," said Parent. Johnell Sloan will be a key figure in the sprints for the Bronchos, because he has been the most consistant sprinter on the team and he has been free of injuries all year. Other key figures in the sprints will be Mark Weimer, Jeff Livinston and James Readus. "We weren't dependent on any one or two runners. "Everyone will be important, one point could mean the difference in winning and not winning," added Parent. Other distance men for the Bronchos are Joe Scott, Tim Moore, James Nells and Jimmy Brackeen. The steeplechase and pole volt will start at 10 a.m. at OCC. At 12:30 p.m. other field events will take place at CSU. At 4 p.m. the preliminaries in the 100 yard dash, 120 high hurdles and 220 yard dash will take place, followed by the finals at 6 p.m. All running events will finish at 8:15 p.m. "We have the home field advantage, but we need the support of the student body and faculty," said Parent. "We want to make 1982 a winning year for CSU sports."

Bronchettes even tennis record; 4.4 The Bronchette tennis team dropped their fourth decision of the year Monday at the hands of Oklahoma City University by a 2-4 score. CSU's lone wins came at the number three singles, where Jenny Fowler beat Connie Walker 6-3, 6-4, and at number one doubles where the team of Fowler and Terry Roque won 7-6, 6-4. "Jenny really played well today," remarked coach Francis Baxter. "Even though losing, Roque played one of her better matches this Spring." Baxter was referring to Roque's loss at number one singles to

Broncho netters whip SWU The mens' and womens' tennis teams recorded easy victories over Southwestern here Tuesday afternoon. Rod Cabato lost his first set at number one singles to Steve Saxon but came back to win the final two, 6-2, 6-1. That sparked the Bronchos to a sweep of the remaining eight matches without losing a set. Raymond Dakudao man handled Mac Morris at number two singles by identical 6-0 scores and Keith Williams worked over Mike Wall 6-1, 6-0 at number four singles for the most lopsided victories.
