Ryan retires after adapting to work, computer advances By Linda Jones In the fall of 1959, Dr. Barbara Ryan signed her first contract with CSU as an instructor of physical education. Now, 28 years later, she is retiring after working her way up to associate vice president for administration. Ryan signed the first contract under what she called unusual circumstances. "I had been to CSU for a few sporting events, but I never really visited the campus," Ryan said. "I was working on my master's degree at the University of Colorado and met Virginia Peters, who recommended me to Emma Plunkett, the chairperson of the women's physical education department." After a telephone conversation with Ryan, Plunkett convinced the president, Dr. Max Chambers, to hire her sight unseen. The president of the university
who succeeded Chambers, Dr. Garland Godfrey, selected her and 11 others to attend a development seminar in 1970. She was picked as one of three professors to attend the section on institutional research, she said. "At the time, I didn't know for sure what institutional research really was," Ryan said. "When I came back to school and discussed with Dr. Godrey the information I had received, he said, 'This is exactly what we need."' Ryan said she is responsible for coordinating data in given basic areas. Students, courses and programs, personnel, faculty and staff, physical facilities and finance generate a mass of statistics, she said. "It is my job to see that the data is coordinated to insure the integrity and reliability of data distributed by the university," she said. "All areas must be tied
together to show program costs, staff costs and space utilization for budgeting purposes." Ryan said she has moved with the times in the area of computer information systems. She has used the microcomputer extensively in the last few years, she said. "There is a world of yet to be developed applications for the microcomputer in management models," she said. "I want to have time to pursue that." Ryan has worked under three presidents: Chambers, Godfrey and the present president, Dr. Bill Lillard, and two vice presidents, Alvin Alcorn and the present vice president, Dr. Larry Williams. She said she attributes much of her success at CSU to their leadership. She said she believes it was their adaptation to change for the interest of the university that has made it what it is today.
Officers inspect briefcase for explosives
A Sheriff's office explosives truck removes a briefcase that was potentially explosive from beside a car parked on the north side of the Liberal Arts Building. No bomb was found.
By Shannon Blockcolski Campus police, Edmond firemen, AMCARE and the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office investigated a potential bomb threat the evening of April 23 outside of the Liberal Arts Building. Bob Roberts, campus police chief, said a female student contacted his officers when she found a briefcase by the front left tire of her parked car. She told the police she was concerned there could be an explosive device in the briefcase because of the way it was posi-
tioned near her tire, Roberts said. One of the officers looked at the briefcase, Roberts said, and agreed it looked suspicious. "How could anyone just leave a briefcase in the position it was left?," Roberts said. The campus police tried to notify the explosive expert at the Edmond Police Department, but he was unavailable. Roberts said he decided to call the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office, who took
over the situation. "After the Sheriff's officers looked at it, they agreed it was strange, so they kept traffic down in the street near the Liberal Arts Building," Roberts said. A firetruck and an ambulance were brought to the scene in case there was a bomb in the briefcase. The Sheriff's officers took the briefcase, and found there was no bomb. "I guess someone is just out one briefcase," Roberts said. "But you never know what may happen."

Governor orders purchases frozen By Shannon Blockcolski Editor Gov. Henry Bellmon has issued a executive order for all state colleges and universities stating all requesitions must be of an emergency or critical nature, and must be sent to the governor's office for approval. Dr. Bill Lillard, CSU president, said he has pointed out to the governor's office that certain requesitions are urgent to finish the semester. "It is creating a slight delay, but everything we submit is critical and urgently needed," Lillard said. All requesitions made by CSU
will cover what is needed for summer school, Lillard said. "One example of what we can't do is order a year's supply of paper towels," he said. As for the summer school budget, Lilard said it is practically identical to the budget for the last summer session. "We were worried we might suffer a 15 percent cut, so we are pleased with the budget we have to use during the summer," Lillard said. "You hope to see growth in budgets from year to year, but when many state agencies are suffering cutbacks, we are content to maintain a consistent budget."
Housina contracts to increase due to phones, cafeteria policy By Samantha Spencer Student Writer Housing costs will increase for the 1987-88 semesters due to the use of the all-you-can-eat cafeteria system this year and the installment of phones in every room next fall. Students consumed more food than was expected, therefore an increase in housing costs is neccesary to cover the additional food, said Robert Fields, Director of Housing Administration. The phone system being install-
ed by the fall semester carries a line charge to the University, which accounts for the rest of the housing increase, he said. A two-semester 20 meal plan, double occupancy housing contract cost $1,776 for the 1986-87 school term. This same contract will cost $1,896 for the fall-spring term. Other contracts will increase proportionally, Fields said. These increases are a result of a proposal made by Fields and approved through the administration and the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges.

Opinion Page Why try for university degree? By J. Money Well . . . (to coin a famous phrase). Why am I here? Oh yes, it's commentary time again. During the last few weeks of spring semester, a student's attention span is at absolute zero, and in sets drudgery. Every one thinks, "Just have to turn in two more papers, take a few tests, and I'll be done." Commentary For some, the time of graduation is here, and now these lucky students get
to go out and "change the world with the knowledge they have learned." Right? We would like to think so, anyway. Some people will walk out of here with degrees, but so what? That and 50 cents will buy a cup of coffee. Many students plan their careers with almost a blind naivete, and then after getting out, find they might as well go back to school to learn what they should have in the first place. Lots of students who haven't made it to graduation will change their majors two, possibly three, times to fit more
what they have in mind in the way of a career. And what do you think most students have in mind when they think about a career they are choosing? The answer will vary from major to major, but the majority of students are thinking about bucks. That's right, those little green sheets of paper which can buy almost anything, except for one. Happiness. Why do people think money plays such an important role in happiness? Perhaps one reason is because the more money a person has, the better
image they can display, and hence the more important the person will feel. Justifiable. Some probably feel they can't get anywhere in life without recognition brought about with money, and won't associate with those who don't have it. And, some people will fool themselves almost their entire lives thinking they are happy, just because they are rich. Now we are back to square one. If people go to college to get rich, and once we achieve that goal just to make fools of ourselves, then why are we here?
Live life to fullest in 24 hour periods By Shae Naro Associate Editor This semester is drawing to a close, which means many things, but the most important is this is the last commentary I will have to write. A fact which causes major excitment in my life. I am not very excited about all the work due in a week, though. Commentary It seems everyone is running around in a semi-panic trying to finish projects and doing a semester's worth of work in a week. The real panic will hit around Wednesday. The spring semester seems the hardest to finish because the weather is beautiful. In the winter nobody minds staying inside, but the spring is The worst. There is a funny thing about all this work most people save until the last

minute. Don't you hate people who finish everything on time? No matter what you get done next Friday is still going to dawn bright and early. Everybody, myself included, needs to relax. Summer is almost here, which always denotes a good time. I have been observing people the last couple of weeks and there seems to be a few uptight individuals running around. I learned a valuable lesson, of which I sometimes lose sight. All anyone is guaranteed is 24 hours. Why waste time being uptight or upset all the time? You never know when you leave someone if you will ever see them again. How do you want them to remember you? This might sound morbid, but it is really not. You cannot promise anybody you will be here next week. When you wake up in the morning, all you have is 24 hours. What you do with that 24 hours is up to you. I heard a good saying once, life is too short to be miserable. But there are miserable people running around everywhere. Don't worry about what is due next Friday, just do what you can today. That is really all you have. Most circumstances which happen in life are unavoidable. It's like a tornado coming through town. All you can do is prepare for it. There is no way to stop it.
If this semester has been a bad one for you, learn from it and go on. Don't beat yourself up over it; you can not change it. Most people get mad at circumstances in their life when they have no control over the situation. It's either live with it or don't. For example: if your boyfriend/girlfriend comes in one day and says that's it, I want out, what are you going to do? All the pleading in the
world is not going to change it. I am not saying there aren't hard times. Everyone has hard times. It's what you do with those times. How long until you let go of the situation? How long does it take for you to get back to normal? The whole key here is simple: all anyone is guaranteed is 24 hours. What are you going to do with those 24 hours?
People decide when to live, die? To the editor: Re: Marty Hall's letter to the editor commenting on my letter. To die because one "wants" to or has a "death wish" is not the same as deciding to die. The point is that each person makes the choice when and how he will die, according to his own purposes. Each death, then, in its own way, is a statement. Similarly, each person chooses beforehand his time of birth, parents and conditions of his childhood. We would be more aware of these things if we didn't live so completely on the surface. "Below" the surface there are levels of consciousness far vaster, far more aware, than most people experience in day to day living. These expanded, supranormal states
are man's heritage and hold solutions to man's problems and on the personal level represent self-realization. Medical doctors do far more harm than good. The reason is they rarely ask the why of a disease. Instead, like robitons, they administer a drug to treat the symptoms. Sometimes the symptoms go away, but if the ideas that brought on the disease aren't altered by the individual; then the resultant psychophysiologic-emotional convictions will only gather more energy and find expression in yet a more serious manifestation. Man's propensity to treat disease as external is readily seen in how he deals with headaches. Daily we are bombarded with advertisements which suggest: "Take this little pill and that
bothersome little headache will go away." Attractive models are shown smiling because that annoying, uncomfortable intruder has been blotted out. But this is the height of the superficiality. No credit is given the body for its ability to deal with the pain. No one ever stops to ask why, or what, could be learned from a headache. No, "just take this pill — it's the American Way." But, unfortunately, each time a person retreats to taking an aspirin he cheats himself, and in some small way renders himself feeling more powerless. He also alienates himself to some small degree from his body. The fact is, there are ways to deal with and learn from headaches. Fred Walters

Dimension News: World, state and local
Coup report alerts Filipinos
After receiving reports that another coup was on the horizon, Filipino troops were put on alert Sunday. Government sources confirmed troops were on alert, but could not verify reports pointing toward another coup by disgruntled troops and deserters. Several Filipino newspapers reported the plot was planned by "the Guardians," a military fraternity allegedly linked to other coup attempts against President Corazon Aquino. In other related news from the region, a congressional candidate of a party which supports Aquino was slain Saturday. Candidate Jimmy Matalam was scheduled to run for the country's House of Representatives on May 11. The government news agency said the attackers were believed to be members of a communist rebel group.
God is alive,not dead To the editor: This letter is in response to G.A. Toler's letter proclaiming that God is "dead." First of all, God is eternal. He is the one constant in this everchanging trouble-riddled world. Toler, you stated that anyone who hears the voice of God is either mentally or physically ill, addicted to drugs or alcohol or a TV evangelist or liar. God is a personal, real being! He is not an "it," as you referred to Him. Our Father in heaven desires an intimate, one-to-one relationship with each and every person on earth. So, knowing this, why can't God speak to us? God speaks to me in an audible, clear voice, but in a number of ways. Sometimes it's a still, small voice within my spirit, sometimes I hear God in the events that occur around me, and at other times I hear God by reading the Bible: The point is that God is still alive, He is on His throne and watching us — and even communicating with us. GOD IS NOT DEAD!
Falwell considers resigning In an interview broadcast Sunday on the CBS show "Face the Nation," the leader of the PTL organization, Jerry Falwell, said he is under intense pressure to resign after allegations of prostitute using and homosexual acts were leveled agains former PTL chief Jim Bakker. The charges were made by John Ankerberg, another television evangelist, who claims to have evidence that Bakker used prostitutes and was involved in homosexual acts. Falwell said it was an open question to whether he would stay on as leader of the organization after its board of directors meets today. Bakker, in a statement read by his wife Tammy, denied the allegations made by Ankerberg. Falwell said Ankerberg "is a very highly respected church leader, and we do take seriously what he is saying."
Shooting spree claims six lives Six people were killed and 14 were injured Thursday when a gunman went on a shooting spree through two shopping centers in Palm Bay Florida. The man accused of the shootings, William B. Cruse, 59, is being held in isolation at the Brevard County Jail in Sharpes Florida. He is charged with six counts of firstdegree murder. Many members of congregations have been seeking counseling to help deal with the shock, and churches and mental health experts have had their hands full in setting up crisis counseling centers, church leaders reported. Authorities say Cruse claims not to remember the killings, and a girl held hostage by Cruse told reporters Cruse said he was drunk. Later, she said Cruse told her to get out while she could. Later, police rushed the store the girl worked in and caught the gunman.
If you choose not to believe in God and accept the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on the cross, then that is your own choice. God has made it abundantly clear that he is omnipotent. Romans 1:20 says, "For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." All people have sinned, and because of our sin we must die physically. However, to those who believe and put their trust in God, they will receive a new body. This new body will be perfect. There will be no diabetics, no diseases, no pain, no sorrow, no epilepsy, no obesity, no drug addicts, nothing. Only a perfect body that will spend eternity with God in heaven. The only way to get this new body is to believe that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. By the shedding of the perfect man's
(Jesus) blood, everything we have done or will do can be forgiven. All we must do is ask! If you choose to reject God, then hell is the only other alternative. If God bores you, if you don't need Christ, Easter, or Christmas, well, I'll pray for you. Remember hell is for a long time — forever — and there are no water fountains down there. Finally, Oral, Jim and Tammy are not perfect. But who are we to judge? Let those of you without sin cast the first stone. Whether or not they are mocking God is something I can not determine, but I do know that saying God is dead is a mockery. To sum it up, Galatians 6:7,8 says "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please God's Holy Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Conduct of investigators called 'outrageous' by DA's lawyers
The recent Oklahoma State budget cuts in higher education has placed an even more financial burden on each student.
Lawyers representing indicted District Attorney H. Russell Wright Jr. filed a series of motions in Oklahoma City federal court Friday which charge "outrageous conduct" on the part of federal agents and prosecuters. The attorneys allege federal investigators approached Wright for information concerning a tool company operator in Elk City in connection with the oil field bribery probe unveiled last month, which is expected to bring at least 50 indictments. Wright said in an affidavit filed with the defense motions that federal prosecutors assured him they only wanted information concerning the oil field investigation, and also said what Wright had been up to was "no concern of theirs."

Nightclub to showcase local bands By Chris Sommer Student Writer
Black Peer Center, is
now accepting applications for 11 staff vacancies for the fall of 1987 and the spring of 1988. Pick up an application, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. in 213C or 213F of the Administration Building.
For the next 13 days, more than 30 homegrown acts will be showcased in special Sunday concerts at Faces on N.W. 59 and May. The 7 p.m. concerts will feature two or three groups or artists each week, and are sponsored by Catherine "Carmen" Allgood, a radio personality on KKLR 97.7 FM. She hosts the "Homegrown Artists Hour," which airs on Saturdays at 2 a.m. and Sundays at 8 p.m. in conjunction with the
Concerts '87," is an extension of the radio program. Allgood said the goal is to gain exposure for the growing reserve of local talent. The shows focus on original material and will continue through June. Sean Sommer, sociology major at CSU and founder of the rock group Modern Measure, one of the bands appearing May 3, said he was glad someone is taking notice of the local talent and understands the predicament bands have in getting recognition. "Many bands get tired of playing to small crowds in clubs and quit to make a 45 rpm. or album, hoping it will get them better exposure ," Sommer said.

The CSU department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation recently named seniors Carla Hobbs and Kevin Helton recipients of the Emma W. Plunkett and Dale E. Hamilton awards. The awards are given anually to the outstanding graduating male and female in HPER. Selected by the department faculty, the students chosen for these awards must display high standards of scholarship and leadership, participate in departmental as well as campus activities and show professional interest and achievement. Cobbs, a Sapulpa High graduate, was listed on the Dean's Honor Roll six times and is a member of the Alpha Chi and Mortar Board Natonal Honor Societies. She received the Outstanding Campus Leader Award in 1985-86, was elected to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges in 1986-87, and was choosen Outstanding Physical Education Major in the State of Oklahoma. In addition, Cobbs participated on the CSU women's softball team for two years, where she received NAIA All-District honors both seasons.
Helton was graduated from Farview High School, and has been listed on both the Dean's and President's Honor Rolls. He participated in the track and cross country programs for four years and was elected team cocaptain of the 1985 cross country and 1986 track teams. While competing, Helton gained All-District honors from 1983-85, was a 1983 NAIA national cross country qualifier and was named to the All-Academic team in 1986-87. The HPER sponsored awards honor Emma W. Plunkett and Dale E. Hamilton. Plunkett taught in the women's HPER program for 38 years and was instrumental in developing it into one the finest in the nation.
"However, that's not always the case, because once you have an album out you need to play live to promote it." Modern Measure's 45 rpm, "Standing in the Rain," has done well in some areas, Sommer said, but it depends on the the type of following a band has. "We seem to do better in Norman than Oklahoma City. Probably because there is a better concentration of people who like our type of music," Sommer said. "Everyone is so spread out in the city that it's difficult for them to come together for something low key as a local band playing in a bar. Now, if we were as big as R.E.M., that would be another story altogether."
Algood said, "I know there is a lot of local talent and if these artists are never given a helping hand once in awhile, they'd never make it. Some bands quit because they can't get the exposure they need to go on. "In order to give these bands the right kind of help, we're having Thom Pulley provide the lights and Superior Sounds provide sound. They're going to be big shows. Faces is even providing a free buffet." Allgood said originally the shows were going to be held at the Civic Center, but her public said they didn't want to drive to the city on a Sunday night. The show tickets are $4 and can be purchased at the door.

Experts disagree on legality of drug By Shannon Blockolski Several college students and upwardly mobile young professionals are becoming more involv* ed with "ecstasy." Ecstasy is actually 3 ,4-methylenedioxymethamphetaminer, or MDMA. One CSU student, who wanted to be called "Monica," said she
feels it is a safe, enjoyable way to have a good time. But J.C. Douglas, an employee with The Referral Center in Oklahoma City, said it is another fatal drug that should be eliminated. Harvard psychiatry professor Larry Grinspoon told "Science" magazine MDMA could become a

Clubs elect officers for 1987-88 year The following organizations have elected officers for the following year, 1987-88: H.P.E.R.D. officers elected were: Lu Edwards, president; Ken Barnes,
first vice-president; Jonna Moser, second vice-president; Steve Heffernam, secretary; Lisa Hedrick, treasurer; and Lisa Mathews, historian. Mortar Board officers elected were: Shelly Hammans, president; Michelle Mullins, first vice-president; Ann Wertzberger, second vice-president; Darlene Simonton, recording secretary; Yvonna Hill, corresponding secretary; Robin Killingsworth, treasurer; Kelly Homan, elections chairperson; Leslie Moore, historian; Peggy Frazier, special services; and Michelle Gallman, AWS representative.
time-saving tool in psychotherapy. MDMA was patented in 1914 as an appetite suppressant, Douglas said, but was never marketed. In 1972 a psychiatrist developed the same drug and called it the new LSD, Douglas said. A combination of hallucinogens and amphetimes, the synthetic white powder condensed in capsule form was being used by psychiatrists in psychotherapy, he said. Grinspoon said, "MDMA lowers anxiety levels in such a way as to make people less defensive. It also increases the capacity for insight, empathy and communication. "The drug is especially helpful in therapy with couples, since it diminishes defensiveness and encourages communication." Within the last five years,
Douglas said, psychiatrists using MDMA approached the American Psychological Association about the drug. "The APA became very angry when it found out MDMA had never been tested with the Food and Drug Administration," Douglas said. During the FDA testing of MDMA, people found out about the drug and released the information to street dealers, Douglas said. "The result was, people began using the street form of MDMA, and also began dying," he said. In 1985 MDMA was made a Schedule 1 drug — an illegal controlled substance available only on the streets — by the Food and Drug Administration, Douglas said. The initial side effects to MDMA use, Douglas said, are 15

minutes or so of sweating, rapid eye oscillation and an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. The 24-hour after-effects, he said, are exhaustion and appetite loss. "But, like any mood-altering substance, it can cause brain damage, long-term damage to the central nervous system and even death," Douglas said. Monica said she heard about ecstasy, or "X" as she calls it, last year, but first experimented with the drug two months ago. "I'll admit, I've done other drugs, but X was the best. I was happy, alert and in control the whole time," she said. "I didn't suffer any side effects, except that my pupils dilated and I talked faster." Monica described the feeling of ecstasy, "Your whole body tingles, and you feel so open. It's not like pot, booze or coke, where you start to feel depressed or nauseated. Plus, it's actually cheaper than any of the mindaltering drugs, costing from $8-20 for a 100-milligram capsule. And I usually only do half of one." "I think X should be legalized, properly tested and brought back to the pharmacy," she said. "People say alcohol can kill you, too, but it's legal. And X isn't addictive." But Tim Speece, director of the Edmond memorial hospital Recovery Center for Chemical Dependency, said MDMA is addictive. "Anytime you are dealing with a mood-altering drug, you have a psychological addiction," Speece said. "As far as I know, it is not physically addictive." "MDMA is very addictive, because any drug with a quick reaction time that gets you high can definately create an emotional addiction," Speece said. "Actually, a physical addiction can be dealt with and treated in a shorter period of time than an emotional addiction." At The Recovery Center, Speece said, they haven't dealt with anyone who was addicted specifically to MDMA. "The bulk of people we see are poly-drug abusers. They have a drug of choice, and if that isn't available, then they find another drug, such as MDMA," Speece said. Ginsberg said he thinks MDMA should be taken out of the Schedule 1 category because of the benefits it would have to the psychiatric community. "It's imperative we explore this drug as a possible adjunct and catalyst to psychotherapy," he said. "Keeping it in Schedule 1 would be a terrible obstacle. We need to get new data from the lab — not the street." Douglas said he feels MDMA should remain a Schedule 1 drug,

Lady netters ax OCU By Mary Butler
Student Writer Storming through a stunned Oklahoma City Lady Chiefs lineup by a 9-0 score, the CSU women's tennis team wrapped up another successful season with a 14-2 record. All six Lady Broncho starters picked up a pair of wins in the romp while OCU, their cross-

Softballers split with OBU, District 9 Tournament next By John Helsley
Sports Editor A five-run, second-inning outburst sparked the CSU softball team to a 5-0 win over Oklahoma Baptist University Saturday, before the Lady Bison rallied in the second game for a 3-2 decision and a doubleheader split in Shawnee. In the opener, the Lady Bronchos combined two hits with four OBU errors in the decisive second inning. Coupled with a one-hit pitching performance by Gladys Griffin, the Lady Bronchos were never really threatened in the contest. Dee Gerlach led off the second with a single and one out later moved to third as Irene Warwick was safe on a throwing error by the OBU shortstop. After Warwick stole second, Gerlach raced home on an errant pickoff play by the catcher at third. Pam Martin followed with a single to score Warwick and Martin took second on the throw home. Cheri Happe then hit a shot which the centerfielder could not handle and Martin scored while Happe went all the way to third. Jane Kajs walked and stole second to keep the CSU rally alive. Leslie Blaylock bunted and when the Lady Bison first baseman couldn't make the play, Happe had scored, Kajs was on third and Blaylock was safe at first. Kajs scored on a fielder's choice by Michelle Laney to record the Lady Bronchos' fifth tally. A controversial call in the fifth inning of the second eame contributed to the Lady Bison's winning run. OBU loaded the bases on a walk and two singles to open the inning. The next batter lined a shot which Martin caught at shortstop; she tagged the runner at second who had taken a lead, then fired to third where Kajs attempted to make the tag, but the umpire called the runner safe. A single by the following hitter drove in the go-ahead run. CSU coach Gerry Pinkston disagreed with the call, saying, "An out of position umpire called the runner safe because he couldn't see the tag The Lady Bronchos had taken an early lead with a pair of first-inning runs. Laney and Tami Loy singled with one out to put runners on first and second. Laney attempted to steal third and both runners scored as the catcher's throw sailed over the third baseman's head into left field. OBU tied the score with two unearned runs in the fourth, on a single and two costly CSU errors. The Lady Bronchos threatend several times in the nightcap, but never scored. With the split, the fifth-ranked Lady Bronchos improved to 22-8 on the season. After a scrimmage at Northeastern Oklahoma Junior College Tuesday, the CSU softballers will begin play in the District 9 Tournament Friday The Lady Bronchos, seeded second, will open against third-seeded Northeastern University in a 2 p.m. game Friday. Top-seeded Oklahoma City University will take on the fourth seed, OBU, in the other first-round matchup. All games will be played at Wheeler Park, located at 1000 S. Western in Oklahoma City.
6-1 to nail down the number one singles win. The Queensland, Austrailia native then teamed up with Jenny Bautista, CSU's solid number two singles woman, to top April Durboraw and Jackie Waddle in the first doubles match. Bautista, from Lepanto, Philippines, won her earlier singles duel with Beth Jacobi, 6-0, 6-1. Sophomores Kathy Swink and Raquelle Willette contributed to the CSU effort with two-set wins in the third and fourth single slots. Swink, the Oklahoma City native, beat Waddle 6-3, 6-2, while Willette, a Laguna Beach, Calif., product, sidetracked Stephanie Fightmaster, 6-1, 6-3. Swink and Willette followed up their singles success with a 6-2, 6-3 win in the second doubles match. The CSU duo combined talents to slam the stacked OCU team of Fightmaster and Waddle. Junior Shannon Johnson and Freshman Kerry Parker pulled out three-set wins in the fifth and sixth postions to give CSU a singles sweep. Johnson scratched out a 0-6, 7-6, 6-3 win over Durboraw in the fifth slot while Parker rallied back to beat Linda Moody 4-6, 6-3, 6-2. Parker and Johnson cleaned up in the third double slot, besting Jacobi and Moody, 6-3, 6-3. The Lady Broncho boast a 15th place NAIA national ranking and are the number one rated squad in District-9.

16-26 Bronchos qualify for playoffs By Mary Butler "And the last shall be first," is how the saying goes. If it holds true, the Broncho baseball team is just about halfway home. CSU's stumbling diamond crew has managed to lose nine of their last 11 ballgames, including a humbling run-rule doubleheader sweep at the hands of Phillips University Wednesday afternoon. The Haymakers romped by a pair of identical 13-3 scores, dropping the Bronchos season record to a disappointing 16-26. Despite their diligent, seasonending efforts to end up otherwise, the Bronchos have qualified for the eight team District 9 playoffs for the sixth consecutive year.
"We may not have a record that people think is worthy of being in the playoffs, but once you start those playoffs, it's a whole new season," said coach Bobby Hunt. "If a team can get hot in the playoffs, all kinds of things can happen," added the 25th year CSU skipper. In other words, the Bronchos can still finish first, even if they ended up almost last. Before the Bronchos take to the field to tackle a District 9 title, they'll have to recover from Wednesday's season ending blowouts. The Haymakers, frustrating four CSU pitchers, pounded out 21 hits, including six home runs,
to score 26 runs in the pair of fiveinning contests. the afternoon opener, Phillips put at least a run on the board in every inning. The

state champion at Deer Creek High School, where he compiled an 81-5 career record. He is a member of the 1987 All-State team and he also wrestled in the first annual Big Classic Dual which pitted an Oklahoma All Star Team against all stars from across the United States. In the Big Classic match, McCullough battled to a 1-1 draw against Carl Presley of Illinois, who is rated as the top high school heavyweight prospect in the country. "He was one of our top priorities," said CSU coach David James. "He's got great skills and I'm not taking anything away from Presley, but if he's the best in the nation, we've got ourselves a good one." Agee was 54-14 at Garden City after winning a state championship at Perry High School in 1985. Bigheart won the 136-pound state title this past season for Edmond and also was a member of the Big Classic team. Walthour placed fourth in the state following a senior campaign in which he posted a 20-10 mark. James said he is a "late bloomer" who has only been wrestling for three years. "Every kid we've signed is our kind of people," James commented. "Some of them have great credentials, some don't, but they all have great attitudes and are strong academically. They should fit right into our program."

Musical ends semester From Staff Reports
"The second segment of the program will be the Trostiana Suite' by Randall Thompson. This group consists of seven country songs all set to poetry by Robert Frost. These are very famous settings of well-known Frost poems. They are very listenable and the texts are inspiring, humerous and quaint. A delightful set of musical spoofs will complete the concert," Green said. Chamber Singers is a select group of students auditioned from the student body-at-large. Most of the singers involved are music majors. Many of the members are well-known performers in the Cental Oklahoma area, according to Green. "Our accompanist for this concert is Mary Lee Moon. Moon is a wonderful combination of singerpianist herself, and is a familiar figure at CSU performances," Green said. The concert is free of charge.
The Chamber Singers will present their final concert of the school year at 8 p.m. Thursday in Mitchell Hall, under the direction of Pam Green. "Our program this spring is in three segments. We will begin with two sacred works. The 'Ave Maria' by Verdi is very difficult and has required much work. It is quite ethereal and exceptionally beautiful. Members of the Chamber Singers rehearse for an upcoming concert.
