Sociology to add B.A. drug option Unique-to-state degree ready for fall semester By Laurel Anquoe Student Writer

"She Stoops to Conquer" will be performed at 8 p.m. April27-29 and at 2:30 p.m. April 30 in Mitchell Hall. Practicing (from left to right) are Connie Green, Sam Morris and Gary Richomond.

Author speaks on suicide By Mei Pong Staff Writer "Suicide is a preventable act. If you know someone who is contemplating suicide, go to them and be with them," said Jerry Johnston, author of "Why Suicide," to a fullhouse audience at University Center. "Every 24 hours, 1,000 U.S. teenagers attempt suicide and 18 succeed," and this is just scratching the surface since 3/4 of all teenagers leave no suicide notes, Johnston said. The hardest hit groups are white males and females between the ages of 15-24 who come from middle-class homes. Since the 1950s when suicide was the fifth cause of death for teenagers, suicide rates have risen rapidly to become the second major cause of death. Teenagers attempt to commit suicide for many reasons, including

failed romance, deterioration of the family unit, pressure from parents to do well academically and a hunger for attention, Johnston said. Most teenagers don't want to die but attempt to commit suicide as a cry for help, Johnston said. It is, as Johnston put it, "a drastic way to call attention." Johnston told a real story about Todd, a teenager who wanted to blow his head off with a gun but survived the ordeal minus a face. Todd at that time had only two teeth left, only two slits for airway and a completely disfigured face. Todd now wants to live in spite of having to go through the ordeal of numerous operations and reconstuctive surgeries because he said i_hat he knows now that life is precious. Sociologist said that 8 out of 10 people who attempted suicide made a verbal threat before that.

Johnston said that people often just don't see the signs. Suicide occurs because of a predisposition that gestated and in time was triggered off by a final disappointment. Suicidal warning signs include suicide threats; self destructive behaviors like drug and alcohol abuse; personality changes like moodiness and withdrawal; depression and changes in appetite, sleep patterns and school performances; plans for final arrangements, such as giving away prize possessions; suicidal indications in writing or other forms; and the loss of a close friend or relative.

A bachelor's degree in sociology with a new option in chemical dependency was approved by the Academic Affairs Council in January, said Dr. Elizabeth Berger, professor of sociology and certified alcohol and drug counselor. The new degree option will be available to Central State University students in the fall semester. The option is the only baccalaureate-level degree program in this field in the state, and CSU is one of approximately. 30 colleges and universities nationally that offer such a program, she said. The program was begun because alcohol and chemical dependency are major social and health problems in the United States, and it is widely agreed in the chemical dependency field that more professional education and training is needed, she said. "I want to emphasize that this is not just a counseling degree," Berger said. Other than chemical dependency counseling, a graduate may choose to enter the chemical dependency prevention and education field since the national "war on drugs" has expanded jobs available in that area, she said. A graduate might also choose to work for employee assistance

programs that are designed to help employees in government and private business with chemical dependency problems. The program would also prepare a person to become a chemical dependency specialist or advocate in a wide variety of human service agencies such as criminal justice agencies, adolescent services and gerontology programs, Berger said. The program provides a more convenient, centralized and less expensive way to get the training necessary for certification in this field than has been available in the past, she said. A graduate will be equipped with all the knowledge necessary to take the test for certification for alcohol or drug counseling or both in Oklahoma and will have the required practicum hours for certification. Persons desiring certification in chemical dependency have until now had to attend several expensive workshops that don't necessarily provide all the needed information, usually offer no college credit, and take more time to complete, she said. Information about the program may be obtained from Berger or Dr. Richard Rettig, chairman of the sociology and criminal justice department.

Suicide can be prevented if we know the signs and can offer help or reference to trained professionals in time, Johnston said. A number that can be called for help is 1-800-692-4039.

24 vie in driving contest By Bretta Barritt Student Writer Dean Carter left his house in Hammon around 5:30 April 14 to compete in the 6th annual State Operation Driver Excellence competition at the Safety Education Center on campus. "I better win something since I had to get up so early," Carter said as the competition entered the final stage. Carter's lost sleep netted him first place, a $1,500 scholarship, a

trophy and a chance to represent Oklahoma at the national Operation Driver Excellence contest in Detroit July 8-11. Carter said he had no idea he was going to win. He was very pleased and thought it was ironic considering his earlier joke about having to get up early. Out of a possible 1,000 points, Carter earned 900. The second place winner had 898, third place had 895. "This is probably as close as it's

ever been," said Assistant Professor Carl Breazeale, adult sponsor of the Student Safety Association. John O'Leary from Edmond North High School was more confident about his win. While waiting for the tally he told friends he was going to win it. He was close. As second place winner, O'Leary won a $1,000 scholarship. O'Leary was also a member of the winning team. His teammate Please see Driving on page 8.

Viewpoints Teachers need better income By Andrea Simon Student Writer The National Education Association (NEA) Research estimates the national average teacher salary for 1987-88 at $28,031. Oklahoma rates close to the bottom at 44 when compared to the other 49 states. Is the future generation of Oklahoma not worth the investment?

The state's starting salary is $15,060 a year. Each school district's starting base varies within the state but the average salary a year is $22,006. If a teacher has a master's degree the starting base average is $18,000, with a doctorate it is $19,000. Many of Oklahoma's education majors in college are opting to leave the state for higher salaries. Why would teachers spend considerable amounts of time in college working towards a bachelor's, master's or doctorate degree for a low paying position in the state's public schools? With the degrees earned many could work out of the teaching field and

receive double the amount of teacher's salary or simply move to higher paying states. Alaska claims the top spot on the salary chart with teachers earning $40,424, followed by the District of Columbia, New York, Connecticut, and California. Oklahoma's legislature should review the state's priorities and make education at the top of the list. The state is losing valuable teachers to other states that are paying more reasonable pay rates. The state cannot expect to pay its teachers inadequately and have its students receive a good, quality education. The state cannot expect to bring the best quality in the school systems the public will have to pay the price for it. When it comes to Oklahoma's future generations the majority of the public could pay higher taxes to improve education in the state. What could be more important than the minds of children?

Abortion: Political tug-of-war By Jerry Pierce Managing Editor Abortion is a subject that seems to raise the dander of those with opposing views. Unfortunately, the public perception of this political tug-of-war is one of anger and hatred directed not toward idealogy but toward people.

Editorial This perception has become a public relations disaster for antiabortionists. The voices of the majority, who are reasonable, lawabiding citizens, are being drowned out by fanatics who are hurting the cause. The majority of antiabortionists need to publicly distance themselves from extremists who practice hatred toward others. Those who favor abortion have held the legal reins of this issue since the 1973 Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in this country. Not much was said about it until 10 or 12 years ago when Christian evangelicals began to raise social conciousness about the issue. By the late 1970s, evangelicals had become a powerful lobbying group in this country after being almost apolitical for years. Consequently, abortion became a campaign issue in the 1980 presidential race and has remained one since. Nine years later, the legal power struggle continues. Unfortunately, many of the players involved are people looking for something to

protest. Political movements tend to draw weirdos from both ends of the pole—people who want to be different just to be different. The anti-abortion movement doesn't need these people. These are the folks who blow up abortion clinics and try to prey on other's emotions. God doesn't need a bloodied picket sign to get his point across. A simple "abortion is wrong" sign will do. Abortion is more a rational issue than an emotional issue. Regardless of a person's convictions, no one will escape condemnation for showing hatred toward another human being. Even the Apostle Paul recognized this when he wrote in Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of this dark world, against spirtual wickedness in high places." Paul's battle was not in the physical world but in the spiritual world. Likewise, the majority of antiabortionists do not "wrestle" with brick and mortar and other human beings who don't share their views. No one has ever won an argument by using hatred or scare tactics. It's time the public hears the voices of the anti-abortionists who are truely concerned with human life rather than those who are merely out to win a fight. The majority are not hateful people but rather law-abiding citizens who want to affect change through a due process of law.

Industrial ed department like small campus industry By Mike Sullivan Staff Writer Some people call it the Industrial Education Building. Others call it the Technical Education Building. Regardless of which name is attached to the 23,000 square foot building located in the middle of the Central State campus, it is where Dr. Robert Mordini calls work, and he likes to think of it as a small industry. Mordini, assistant professor of industrial education, and in his third year at Central State, teaches primarily woodworking courses in the building, but is fully aware of the wide spectrum of courses his department offers. "We have a small industry right here on campus," Mordini said. "We deal with hot and cold metals, woodworking, antique restoration, small engines, welding, drafting and electronics. "Anything and everything you find in industry, we cover here on campus," he added. The industrial education department, which falls under the College of Education, operates with a staff of 14 and graduates approximately 25-30 students a year. "We have a real good studentteacher ratio in this department because every thing is hands-on," Mordini said. "We are very student oriented here." Mordini said his woodworking classes are quite popular along with the antique restoration class. The restoration class requires students to restore an antique of their choice, giving them a chance to clean out their garages and attics, Students bring a hodgepodge of objects to restore, but according to Mordini, they become very attached to their projects, regardless of their initial state. "I've seen them bring to class, just about everything you can imagine," Mordini said. "They bring in everything from priceless family

heirlooms to $5 garage-sale items. "Some of the stuff they bring in to restore is real junk, but you'd never know when they're fmished," Mordini said, pointing to the department's antique filled showcase. "By looking at these finished projects, you can see how much work the students have put into it." Watchdogs for state expenditures and the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges have recently hinted that a consolidation of overlapping programs within the system may be eminent. Some or all of the university's industrial education courses could be forced to merge with one of the metropolitan technical schools off campus. "I hope that never happens," Mordini said. "Technical schools can only teach you the hands-on part of it—the basics. They don't teach the arts, history or literature. "All they give you at a tech school is a certificate; here you earn a degree. That makes you a professional. You get the full fouryear degree here," he added. Sophomore technical education major Chris Hamon agrees any consolidations would do more harm than good as far as the student's overall education is concerned. Hamon said technical schools

were never given much thought when he was deciding on a college because he wanted to be a part of the college atmosphere. "Students need to experience the environment of a real college campus," Hamon said. "The university setting has a more balanced atmosphere. "And besides, I think a potential college student should always be given the choice of either the technical school or a four-year college, regardless of the major." Hamon is taking engineering and draftring courses offered by the Industrial Education Department this semester, along with an individually paced woodworking course. He is building a custom oak desk he is sure would bring a handsome price on the retail market when finished. "If I were to sell this thing when I'm done, it would sell for $700, and I'm only gonna have about $100 in it," he said. "This is a great department, they teach you the whole thing here," Hamon said, "Last semester a guy took the basic woodworkikng course and now he's got his own cabinet-making shop. "The guy never had any woodworking before that semester, and now he's so busy he can't keep up with all the business he's getting."

More than 2,600 high school students statewide converged on the Central State University campus April 14 for the annual Scholastic Tournament. The tournament is held for grades 9 through 12, and students are tested in 33 different categories, said Kent Todd, assistant manager for alumni and placement. "We get a lot of publicity out of this tournament and new students as a result of it." Todd said. The schools are divided into groups according to enrollment with schools of 1,000 or more in class I. Schools of 400 to 999 stu-

Students are tested together for each category, to determine an overall winner, Todd said. The total scores for each school are added together to determine the winner for each class. The overall 1st place winner receives a gold medal, 2nd place a silver medal and 3rd place a bronze medal. Plaques are awarded to schools placing first, second or third in each class. No awards are presented the day of the tournament. The medals and plaques are mailed to the school with the results approximately one week later, Todd said.

The CSU liberal arts symposium, "Crosscurrents," held on campus March 29 turned out to be a success, said Diane Haser-Harris, editor of the New Plains Review and a student at Central State Unversity. The symposium was held only for students in the College of Liberal Arts. About 60 students presented papers and 17 to 18 papers were presented simultanously in various classrooms of the L.A. Building, Harris said. There were papers on novels, poetry, sociology and other types of research. "The reason for the symposium is to start something new and give students a platform to let them share their work. It gives students experience like in professional meetings, Harris said. "It went extremely well, and the classrooms were filled with students and faculty from various schools, Harris said. "The submission for the papers were done at the beginning of the semester and they were given a dateline March 8 to finish the papers." Most of the students had already

completed their research beforehand, some finished it at the last minute and some students used papers done the previous semester, Harris said. The New Plains Review sponsored the Symposium and Harris was the main organizer. The keynote speaker, James Tolbert III, gave his thoughts on liberal arts education, Harris said. "Tolbert spoke candidly about the importance and value in our economy of the Liberal Arts degree and background." There were also art presentations and music concerts presented, Harris said. Classes that were scheduled the day of the symposium were canceled in order to accomodate the event and students were given their choice to go to any presentation they wanted. "We kept a sign-up sheet so we could see who attended the presentation and which school they were from. We saw most students attending the sociology paper presentation and students that attended were not only sociology majors but from other schools too, Harris said. "The symposium was wellreceived both from the students and faculty," Harris said.

NCAA Division II Abilene Christian, ranked third in the nation, and the NAIA 12th ranked Cameron Aggies finished at 914 in the 54-hole tournament, while the fifth-rated Bronchos ended at four strokes off the pace with a 918. Broncho sophomore Chris Carpenter won medalist honors after shooting a 225, and CSU junior Curtis Wangrud finished with a three-round-total 229. CSU freshman Brett Guillot shot a one-over-par 71 in the final round and finished with a 231. Junior Tim Adler added a 235 for CSU, and junior John Shelley and sophomore Acey Hopper each shot 244s. The Bronchos trailed Abilene Christian by seven strokes after Monday's 36-hole first round, but could only make up three of those strokes in the final round. "We made up a few of those shots during the last round," Carpenter said. "Brett (Guillot) and I had 71s, so we did make a move."

Carpenter said the team was playing well enough to win next weeks District 9 Championships, but added a complete team effort will be needed if the Bronchos are to overcome Cameron. "We're getting good second and third rounds," Carpenter said, "but we need to score in the fourth round if we're going to win." CSU and Cameron, along with the remainder of the District 9 teams will battle it out at the Greens Country Club Monday and Tuesday for the District 9 title. CSU and Cameron will be favored in the tourney, and Carpenter believes it will come down to one of those two teams. "We're ready, it's just a matter of time," he said.

Final Results Lone Star Conference Cameron 914, Abilene Christian 914, Central State 918, Eastern New Mexico 948, East Texas State 984.

Individual Scores Chris Carpenter 225, Curtis Wangrud 229, Brett Guillot 231, Tim Adler 235, John Shelley 244, Acey Hooper 244.

Coach's Corner CSU track teams head for District Championships By Mike Sullivan Sports Editor

T he Central State track team will compete in the District 9 Championships at 11 a.m. April 22 at Oklahoma Baptist University. Track coach Paul Parent said the OBU men's team will be though to beat on their own track. "OBU will probably place first in the men's division, and we have a good chance of finishing second," Parent said. In the women's division, Parent said CSU has the dominate team. "We have an excellent chance of winning it. Both Langston and OCC have a good chance of finishing second," he said.

An intramural tennis tournament is scheduled for April 25 in Wantland Hall. Entry forms are now available in the Health and Physical Education Building, Room 204B, or call ext. 5236. The tourney is to slated to start at 7 p.m. and is open to both men and women.

The NAIA District 9 championship tennis tournament will commence on Monday April 24-25 for the defending champion Lady Bronchos. "Our chances are not good," tennis coach Francis Baxter said. "Oklahoma City University is the favorite for this tournament." Cameron is probably second, followed by East Central University and South Eastern University fighting it out for third place position, he said. "The winner is automatically invited to the national tournament," Baxter said. "It's pretty obvious that OCU is pretty tough," junior Julie Skelton said. "I think we have a chance to get second place. We're going to work really hard." Senior Raquelle Willette, defending doubles champion, will defend her title in the doubles match without her last year's partner. Freshman Anna Britton will be Willette's new partner, but Britton's recent illness may hamper the duo's performance.

Lady Broncho net team drops District 9 tune-up By Andrew Smith Student Writer The Lady Bronchos tennis team was whipped a second time by Oklahoma City University 7-1 in an April 18 rematch at the CSU tennis courts. CSU's only victory came in the doubles match when sophomore Jennie Biswell and junior Julie Skelton competed against Crutchly and O'Dea of OCU. It was 2-1 match in the first set when the OCU duo retired because of injury. No. 1 seed Biswell struggled through her two sets to lose to topseeded Crutchly 6-0, 6-0. "Jennie played really well,"

Baxter said. "Her plays weren't bad; Crutchly just played very well. Crutchly will probably win singles in the tournament." The women struggled through each match and could not withstand OCU's pounding. "We're alive," Baxter said, "physically, that is. "This is our second time to play them this semester. We lost the first time to them, 7-2." Freshman Anna Britton retired after the beginning of the second set. She lost the first set 6-0, and after 1-0 in the second set, she called the match due to illness. "Some of the players are sick," Biswell said. "Last week three of

our players were sick due to stomach virus." Britton and Sharp defaulted in doubles, giving OCU another easy victory. OCU 7 CSU 1

Baseballers preparing for playoffs By John Lukehart Student Writer Central State's baseball team is preparing for the final week of the regular season. During the next seven days, the Bronchos will play the final seven regular-season games. Junior outfielder Ryan Miller said that the games are important because they will determine who the Bronchos will play in postseason action. "These next seven are very important," Miller said. "They decide where and who we have to play in the first round." In the District 9 playoffs, the top eight teams compete with the top seed playing the bottom seed.
