Tradition more important than people of old China

By Kim McConnell

"China as I knew it was not China for the Chinese. It was actually a mosaic of European-style architectures and many, many people," said Ruth Holmes.

Ruth Holmes, president of Board of Regents for Oklahoma Universities, is on campus as part of the Distinguished Statesman and Scholars series.

Holmes lived in China and she had the chance to revisit in 1981 as part of a scholastic tour.

Holmes emphasized that the China of her childhood is vastly different than the China of today.

Fifty years ago, foreigners were welcomed "intruders."

"Foreigners had a entirely different life. The average life for a foreigner was that you had come overseas as a favored guest of the Chinese," Holmes said, adding that not all foreigners received this privileged treatment.

She recalled that 50 years ago, Russians fleeing from Communist oppression were quite numerous in China, but were poorly treated, the men more so than the women.

She recounted a story of a Russian with a Ph.D. in Philosophy who worked in a dance house to earn her living. Holmes' father and mother used to go to the club where she worked and "buy" some of her time so they could talk.

When Holmes returned to China last year, she could find no traces of Russians. At one time, they numbered over 30,000 in Shang Hai alone.

The "favored" foreigners lived in their own mini-cultures.

"Chinese police were not allowed to arrest, try or even be rude to you," she said.

This handling was quite dif-

ferent than that afforded to the average Chinese citizen. Holmes remembers looking out a train window and seeing police or soldiers elbowing a man clad only in underwear. When they reached a "filthy ditch," they ordered the man to cross it. He refused. When they forced him, he slid down into the ditch. When he came back up and turned around, he was shot.

"I never found out why," she said.

"The Chinese justice system needs a lot of work. Even to this day, they do not believe in representation of any kind. They still have in their background their awful old punishments," she said.

"This is what gave the foreigners the idea that although the Chinese had an excellent tradition behind them, they had alot to learn about human relations.

Theory was more important than people," she added.

Holmes' childhood China was violent and unpredictable, with war lords fighting to control the country. But while the soldiers were cruel, they could also be unexpectedly kind, Holmes said.

When she was almost twoyears-old, her family had to flee from Peking. While in a car, she got loose from her governess and popped up at a window. Before her parents could pull her down, a soldier had seen her. Her parents' watched horrified as the soldier stooped down, picked a flower and presented it to her.

"My parents," said Holmes, "always said that epitomized for them how much the Chinese loved children--even in the midst of war."

Common problems persist Editor's Note: This is the final segment of the two part series on the quality of education at CSU. In this installment we look at the teaching at CSU and the actual quality of the education offered.

Part Two

Students can see the quality of their teachers in their attitudes.

The North Central report noted that students felt the faculty is concerned about them and are readily accessible. The relationship between the teachers and

Trial date set for June The trial of Steve McKeaver, 22, CSU football player charged with two misdomeanor accounts for driving with a suspended license and • entering a building "with malicous intent" has been continued to June 1. The trial had been slated to begin this week.

McKeaver had first been arrested Nov. 17, 1981, for breaking into Thatcher Hall. He entered a not guilty plea at his Dec. 19 arraignment and was scheduled to appear for trial Jan. 6.

He failed to appear and a warrant was issued. Police arrested McKeaver again March 18, when he was stopped for a traffic complaint and a check with the Department of Public Safety revealed his license had been suspended.

McKeaver pleaded innocent to the driving charge and was released after posting two $500 bonds.

students is viewed favorably by both parties.

The average CSU studentfaculty ratio is about 22.1 to 1., statistically only slightly higher than OU or OSU. However, many students from these schools complain of much larger classes, sometimes as many as 500, and the feeling that they are treated like a number. They don't feel that way here.

Students, especially the transfers, also appreciate the fact that no graduate assistants teach classes. According to Dr. Patrick Cassens, vice president of academic affairs, approximately 60 percent of the instructors hold doctorate degrees. Many others have recent experience in the field they are teaching.

Various deans have noted that the teachers link the theories they teach with what happens in the "real world."

"They have done an excellent job of combining theory and practice, to make the curriculum exceedingly viable and very pragmatic. Students appreciate the dedication and have come here," said Dr. James Perry, chairman of the School of Business.

As well as the quality of the instructors, the quality of the students is seen as good. Although many students test out at the lower to average end of testing scales, which does not mean the ability is low to average, the expertise of others helps in class. In the School of Business and the School of Math and Science, the number of older students with experience in their fields is definite advantage.

Part of attending college is getting through the general education requirements. Terri Jones, a junior medical technician major, was unhappy wth this requirement

because for her, and other students, most of the classes are a repeat of high school material. In many foreign countries a

bachelors degree is not even recognized because of this.

Part of the problem could be Continued on page 3.

Gov. Nigh recalls run for Oklahoma

By Melissa Vierheller

When Rogers and Hammerstein adapted Oklahoma native Lynn Rigg's book "Green Grow the Lilacs" into a musical, they called it "Away We Go." However, after the play was such a success off-Broadway, they decided to change the name to "Oklahoma." But that still didn't have enough pizzaz to communicate the spirit of a brand new state. So they renamed it, "OKLAHOMA!" That's O-K-LA-H-O-M-A with an exclamation point.

This was one of many anecdotes Gov. George Nigh shared with the 1889er's Society Thursday evening at their annual banquet in the University Center Ballroom. It was the first year the banquet has been held outside Oklahoma City.

Nigh spoke on the 93rd anniversary of the historic land run that brought over 10,000 settlers into the area that later became the state of Oklahoma.

Members of the society, descendents of the men and women who made the run in 1889, meet every April 22, to commemorate the historic event.

Nigh reminisced about the "good old days" and recalled some of the historical events that made Oklahoma what it is today.

"Back on April 22, 1889, those people that made the run and

drove stakes claiming land were putting an exclamation point behind Oklahoma," said Nigh.

Nigh added that in 1910 Oklahoma was at a high point in population. It was the fastest growing state in the nation.

Then came the depression and the saga of the "Okie."

"But we've turned that around," said Nigh. "In 1982 Oklahoma is one of the five fastest growing states in the U.S. We are the most fully employed people in the nation and the least taxed."

Nigh made history himself in 1958 when he was elected the youngest lieutenant governor in state history and again in 1978 when he became the first lieutenant governor to win the governorship.

However, despite Nigh's long involvement in Oklahoma government, he takes no credit for Oklahoma's prosperity.

"You are the people who have made this state great and it's a privilege to be governor," he said.

And while it's fun to reminisce and talk about the good old days, really, the good old days are all the ones ahead of us, said Nigh.

"And in this Diamond Jubilee year, it's super to be able to put an exclamation point again behind Oklahoma, not only as we remember the past, but as we look to what lies ahead."

'Even special children can benefit'

By Sheryl Kudy

Government surveys show that nearly half the women in the United States with children under the age of six work outside the home. Also, between 1965 and 1973, the number of licensed day care centers more than doubled to a whopping one million plus. Day care centers are proving to be an excellent method of care for children for working parents.

Day care centers are not all that bad.

The good ones are usually licensed.

They have to run according to standards set by the licensing board. Particular attention is paid to cleanliness, health, safety and enriching activities.

Special children may learn to accept some of their limits, and how to overcome others.

Some argue that children left in day care centers do not get enough love and attention. Wrong. The care givers get to really know the children after a while. Each child develops a special relationship with his favorite teacher.

The teacher does not take the place of a mother, but is closer than an aunt or surrogate mother.

Some children come from broken

homes where there are no males. Many day care centers do have male personnel, so often a substitute father figure type of relationship can develop for a child who would otherwise not have the experience.

There are other opportunities day care children have. They learn to cooperate and be with their peers at an early age, which often yields a more out-going child who readily makes friends. This comes in handy later in life. It is also a good way to get the child accustomed to being away from his parents so the first day of school is not traumatic.

Children in day care centers, whether they are enrolled for whole or half days, benefit by the early start in education. There are many toys, games

and activities designed to develop social, cognitive and physical skills that a child may not otherwise have access to.

In today's world, it is important for children to learn to do some things for themselves.

Even special children can benefit.

Many centers arrange for special therapists to come to the center and work with the child, whether it is a mental or physical problem. Nonhandicaped children benefit also. They learn to deal with and accept differences in people. Sometimes they even help the special child by giving him confidence to participate in ac-

tivities. Special kids learn to accept some of their limits and how to overcome others.

In day care centers, children become independant by learning how to do things for themselves. This is important in today's world where there is not always someone around to help or guide them. When there is someone around to "help pick up the pieces," these children also learn they can trust and have confidence in grown-ups other than their parents.

Since the trend today is toward twoincome households, mothers returning to school or becoming more active outside the home, and one parent families, parents can place their trust in day care centers to help raise their children.

It only rates a seven?

By Carolyn Irons

Sex isn't all it's cracked up to be, Not as a home-breaker, at least.

Roper poll on the causes of friction in marriage discovered money topping the list on 30 percent of the responses.

Children came in second, not too suprisingly, with 22 percent. And television -- a newcomer on the Roper option list of marital irritants -- was a close third, with 21 percent.

And sex -- despite, or because of the tidal wave of how-to-manuals -- got only a seven percent rating.

Whatever the irritant or irritants, family discord obviously results in more that just human suffering.

Problems at home carry over into the workplace, often lead to tardiness and absenteeism, to alcoholism and drug abuse, and stress that affects the quantity and quality of production.

The Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration has placed the alcohol abuse loss alone at $49.4 billion each year.

But the business community is beginning to respond. The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) helps troubled workers cope with the problems, whether legal, financial or

harvesting season. Then it goes back into the soil for another lifetime. It is the messenger of the god of the soil, god of fertility, without whose blessing our crops will not grow. The masquerade is the spirit of one of our forefathers. It can summersalt many times and can even vanish into the thin air.

I still remember those tales told in the family play ground during the moonlight, when the old hunger and thirst for a walk. I remember the tale about the goddess of the waters, mermaid, the beautiful Ezenway who once fervently loved a human being called Ugonna, who was ambushed and killed at sunset by the powerful and jealous god of the forests.

The goddess of the waters, in her memory of Ugonna, every evening, paints the sky the colors of her sorrow an eternal gift to the human race who gave her knowledge of true love and wisdom.

I remember these. I can see home.

Failure to name new coach might cause loss of talent

By Forrest Lee The athletic department is looking for a new head basketball coach to replace Eddie Evans, who resigned last month to pursue a career in the automobile business.

CSU officials reported that they would not name a replacement until May. This could prove fatal to the recruiting of incoming talent with the signing date for high school basketball players at the middle of this month.

High school players do not sign lettersof-intent with schools that do not have coaches.

CSU doesn't actively recruit out-ofstate basketball players. But what about the in-state players? Is CSU going to ignore them too?

This brings up another question as to whether the athletic department particularly cares about the quality of the

basketball program it produces. Junior colleges around Oklahoma go out-ofstate to recruit players and it would seem that CSU could do the same.

CSU is limiting recruiters to the instate talent by not naming a head coach until May. Maybe the athletic department does not feel a need to pick up extra talent this year.

If CSU expects to produce a quality basketball program, one that would possibly draw better crowds to the games, it must show an interest and skill in recruiting quality players. CSU hasn't had a winning season in six years.

It's a shame the athletic department limits itself to Oklahoma players that have not produced. But, it does not seem CSU will pick up any players of name if they do not find a coach before May.

Quality education 3

Continued from page I.

the placement in the classes. Anne Lynch, Faculty Senate president, feels students should be placed in classes by how far ahead or behind they were after graduation from high school.

The honors program and the continuation of remedial programs attempt to deal with the problem.

Grading practices are often seen as an indication of the quality of education. When final grades are posted, students can be seen studying the lists and the relationship between he instructor and the grades he gives. Some rate instructors by the toughness or leniency in grading.

According to a recent study,

Lynch has found that grade inflation is a problem at CSU. C's used to be the average and were required to graduate. Now, it appears the average grade is a B, but the requirement for graduation has not changed.

The number of total unsuccessful hours, due to failure, or withdrawl, for example, has also gone up.

"Central State has the faculty and quality facilities, et cetra, to offer very solid degrees but we don't assemble the act well. The state is throwing away a whole lot of money," she said.

Lynch also warned about students acquiring worthless degrees or ones "without any meat" in them. Once a student

graduates, he competes for jobs with other people who have graduated from colleges and universities with tougher requirements. Students may be able to get out of writing papers, to avoid extra work and suffering, but it may later harm their job opportunities.

Dropping out of school is a problem at every university. Dr. John Lolly, library director, believes that 90 percent of all students can pass college if taught by a method that suits them best. He added that students do not drop out because of stupidity or lack of ability, but rather because of boredom, because instructors teach below their level, or because the lessons are over their heads

and the instructor does not know how to, or that he should be, teaching on a lower level.

One thing that the authors of the North Central report were impressed with was the quality of the Max Chambers Library. They found it more than adequate .

Recently, a decision was made to automate the library's cataloging system. It will use TV screens and a computer system that continuously up-dates the status of all the books.

Also, an "Oklahoma Room" is being constructed that will contain information about Oklahoma history unequalled by any collection in the state.

In spite of this, library circulation statistics are low. Lynch

favors a freshman orientation that includes a session on how to use the library. The Library of Congress shelving system is different from what most recent high school graduates.

John and Nancy Flake, both CSU graduates, agree that the quality of education is good. In addition, both Mrs. Flake and Hank Mooney, journalism instructor and the Vista sponsor, agree that although school cannot totally prepare one for the "real world," it gives a good background.

"The biggest resource, though, is the teachers here. You can get all the machines you want, but it is still the people here," Dr. Lolly said.

Anxiety clinic to help 'worry warts' Students who maybe worried about their grades or about getting married and finding a good paying job can get rid of their worries at the 23rd Annual Worry Clinic, May 4.

Art theme famous women When table decorations are needed by organizations, they sometimes look to the art folks to complete the task. When CSU Art Faculty member Jo Ann N. Adams was asked to help with decorations for Delta Kappa Gamma's (an honorary sorority for women educators) May 1st breakfast, she accepted the challenge. For this joint meeting of over six groups of areas teachers, she chose something stimulating for the Arts and Crafts for Elementary Teachers classes to accomplish other than making tissue paper flowers.

She suggested that each of her sixty students select a famous woman in history. Possibly, a woman who had made an impact on their own life, who had made a significant contribution to society, who had attempted to improve conditions for women or did the woman's life illuminate an aspect of women's experience or provide a model for the future.

The student was to reseach their choice and then construct the character in three dimensional form using mixed media materials such as paper, fabric, yarn and buttons. Choices ranged from the Virgin Mary, Amelia Earhart, Joan of Arc, Clara Barton, Eleanor Roosevelt, to Miss Piggy.

The whole idea for the project was inspired by the monumental sculptural undertaking of Judy Chicago's "Dinner Party" which the Art Faculty member had seen at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1979. Adams was attending the National Art Education Association Conference at that time.

The "Dinner Paty" was five years in the making and was a symbolic history of women's achievements and struggles told through 39 china painted plates

Broncs capture District title a

By Robert Slankard Fred Pederson's and Keith Williams' thrilling 7-5, 6-4 victory over OBU's David Foster and John Simmons at number three doubles propelled CSU to the Distrit Nine tennis championship in Oklahoma City Thursday.

OBU appeared to have the upper hand going into the final match of the afternoon as they held a two point lead with only the number one doubles match remaining. Foster and Simmons were the top seed at the number three spot and had won their opening match 6-3, 6-2.

However Williams helped pull off his second upset of the afternoon to give coach Francis Baxter his fourth district title in 12 years at CSU. Baxter was also named "District Nine Coach of the Year" for the fourth time.

The Broncho's deadly one-two punch of Rod Cabato and Raymond Dakudao garnered both singles and doubles titles as well as being honored on the All-District team, along with Williams.

At number one singles Cabato,

the number one seed, hammered East Central's Rick Horn 6-3, 6-0 in the opening match.

In the championship match he whipped number two seed Bernie Weber of OBU 6-2, 6-3.

Dakudao, also top seeded at number two singles opened with a 6-0, 6-2 thrashing of East Central's Dean Richardville and outlasted second seeded Luis Victorero of OBU 7-6, 6-2 for the championship.

At number three singles David Moore, seeded second, lost to top seeded Foster 1-6, 3-6 in the finals. He beat Steve Dalton of Southeastern 6-2, 6-3 in the opening match.

Williams took his first major upset at number four singles where he blanked top seeded Simmons 6-0, 6-0 in the finals. He had opened with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over East Central's Jack Cochran.

While Willaims, seeded second, was sailing past Cochran, Simmons was struggling past unheralded Greg Roberson of Northeastern 2-6, 7-5, 6-4.

At number five singles fourth

seeded Pederson defeated Northeastern's Joe Roper 6-2, 6-3 in the first match before falling to top seeded Rick Fernandez of OBU 2-6, 2-6 in the second round.

Fernandez was the eventual champion.

OBU gained some measure of revenge at the final singles division when second seeded Jay Northcut upended CSU's top seeded Barney Moon 3-6, 4-6 in the finals. Moon had opened with a 6-2, 6-1 whipping over Arthur Garcia of Northeastern.

In the number one doubles top seeded Cabato and Dakudao beat the second seeded team of Northcut-Victorero 6-1, 6-3 for the title. They had opened with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over ECU's Horne and Richardville.

OBU's top seeded team of Fernandez and Weber took first at number two doubles with a6-2, 6-2 trounding of CSU's second seeded Moon and Moore.

Moon and Moore squeaked by ECU's Cochran and Frankie Crawford in their first match 7-5, 6-4.

That set the stage for Pederson and Williams' final heroics. They had opened with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Frank Stewart and Les Patton of Southeastern. ,"Keith probably had one of the best days he's ever had as a tennis player," said Baxter, referring to Williams' titles at both singles and doubles. "He wasn't suppose to win the singles much less

dominate it. But that wasn't a weak bracket.

"We either had to win that match (number three doubles) or lose the tournament. I knew, OBU knew and Williams and Pederson knew it. They played that match at a level close to 100 percent of their potential. They completely excelled."

Baseballers split with Rangers Kevin Ludwick suffered only his third loss of the year Thursday as CSU lost the first game of a doubleheader to Northwestern 5-7. However the Bronchos regrouped to take the second game 5-4 behind the pitching of Ron Maxwell.

Ludwick pitched just three and two thirds innings but was tagged for nine hits, including a grand slam home run, and six earned runs to drop his record to 6-3.

Brett Bond came on to pitch the final three and a third innings and limited NWU to just four hits and an earned run.

Buster Keasler led CSU with two RBI's and was two for four from the plate. David Strawn, playing in only his 21st game, was a perfect three for three from the plate and also drive in a run. Greg Nelson also had three hits and an RBI and John Wingo drove in a run.

In the second game CSU captialized on four NWU errors to escape with their 24th victory of the year against 18 losses. Strawn had another RBI as well as Jay Watkins and Nelson was two for

a heated District Nine playoff battle.

After getting off to a horrendous 0-5 start, the Bronchos have battled back to grab the fourth position in the district. The top four teams, based on winning percentage against NAIA teams, go to the playoffs at Oklahoma City's All Sports Stadium May 7-9.

The Bronchos are 23-13 in NAIA competition, including impressive wins over Southeastern and Phillips, the number one and two teams in the district with records of 24-2 and 28-5, respectively. Ludwick is responsible for one of the two losses Southeastern has while teammate Carl Peet, a senior, forced the other.

Ludwick, who owns a 6-3 makrs and leads the team with a 3.69 ERA, defeated the Savages 3-0 in Durant on April 15. He gave up but six hits and one walk while striking out another to beat the perennial District Nine champs.

"At the start of the season my main goal was to make the stating rotation," Ludwick said. "In order to do that, I had to develop a changeup."

Kevin, 5-10 by 170, sees the higher quality of hitters as the

main difference between college and high school ball.

"In high school, I could just blow it by most of the hitters," he said.

While the right-hander also throws an adequate slider as well as the basic off-speed stuff, he still relies upon his fast ball, hence his district-leading 41 strikeouts.

Kevin's record is fourth-best in the district while his ERA is No. 8.

Recording 105 strikeouts his senior season, Ludwick ended his prep career with a 16-3 mark recorded during his junior and senior years. One of the aspects about college ball that Ludwick likes is the three to four days rest he receives between outings. The added rest saves a lot of wear and tear on his arm and aids in his control, he says.

With the district playoffs just around the corner, one might think that the young hurler might be feeling some pressure.

"I feel a little pressure," he said. "But I'm really looking forward to the playoffs. If we go out and play good, all-around ball like we did against Southeastern and Cameron, then I think we'll make the playoffs.

Broncs take two from Langston George Hauser and Brett Bond evened their records to 1-1 and along with some torrid hitting, the Broncho baseball team pounded hapless Langston 16-0 and 11-4 here Saturday.

Hauser flirted with a no-hitter in the first game, going all the way to the seventh inning, before a Lion batter hit a two out, two strike single, Scott McBride and Bob Bailey combined for six of 12 Broncho hits, while Greg Nelson swiped two bases.

Bond, gaining his first win in relief of Scott Boreland, fanned five Langston batters in the second game, while Bailey's fourth lu
