Student Writer Some campus leaders said this week they think guidelines for selecting future college presidents may be flawed following the recent controversy at East Central University. William Hodges, Central State University graduate and superintendent of Stillwater Public Schools, was selected in April as the next president of ECU by the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges. But Hodges was not one of the
Records search prompts ruling By Kevin Hunter J. Money
An effort to test Oklahoma's Open Records law at Central State University in April met with delays and confusion, finally prompting a CSU official to seek an informal ruling from the state attorney general's office. After publishing a letter to the editor April 7 that suggested the Oklahoma Open Records Act gives the public too free access to information which may be damaging, The Vista sent a reporter to administration officials to check information concerning the University Contingency Fund of the Student Activity Fees Budget. The reporter sought records of collection and expenditure of the
$14,000 account funded by student activity fees, which is open for public inspection, according to the law. But it took more than three weeks for the reporter to finally meet with a representative who was willing to release the information. Blanche Washington, assistant director of CSU's University Personnel Services, released the information after checking with the attorney general's office. According to the Oklahoma Open Records Act as amended July 1, 1987, every public body and public official has a specific duty to keep and maintain complete records of receipt and expenditure of any public funds reflecting all financial and business transac-
tions relating thereto, except that such records may be disposed of as provided by law. The law also states that all records of public bodies and public officials shall be open to any person for inspection, copying, and/or mechanical reproduction during regular business hours. In addition, the law states a person should be available at all times to release the records during regular business hours to the public. Joyce Mounce, vice president for administration, said at least part of the reporter's difficulty in finding the information stemmed from a missed appointment between the two.

Two vehicles added to theft total By Krista Townsend
Student Writer Oklahoma Christian College (OCC) has adopted a continual surveillance program by its police to curb its campus crime wave, while Central State University has not yet been able to establish a crime pattern to utilize the method. Meanwhile, students and faculty lost two more vehicles to thefts April 26 when a a 1987 Chevrolet Pick-up and a 1986 Yamaha motorcycle were stolen from campus. The pick-up, worth $11,500, was stolen sometime between 7 and 9 p.m. south of Howell Hall. Central State University Police Chief Bob Roberts said broken glass was found on the ground where the truck was parked. "So," he said, "we believe a window was broken out." The motorcycle, worth $1,634, was taken about noon east of the
University Center. The two recent thefts bring the total number of vehicles stolen this year at CSU to five. Of these five, three have been recovered. Roberts said the most common method used by theives is a "slim jim," a thin metal strip slid between the window and door. Roberts said there are no suspects and no apparent pattern of thefts. Because of that, he said he is having doubts about recovery of the last two vehicles. "If a vehicle is going to be recovered, it will usually occur within two days," says Roberts. "Also, if the vehicles have gone through a chop shop, chances of recovery are very slim." CSU's theft problems pale in comparison to Oklahoma Christian College's. Since January, 25 vehicles have been stolen from parking lots on their campus. Of the 25, 23 have been recovered.
OCC Police Chief Paul Westerman said their force adopted a policy of continual surveillance to attack their theft problems and added that it seems to be working. "Our theft rate has been reduced 100 percent," Westerman said. Westerman said the school put up a fence around the dormitories and used a three man team to survey the campus at night. Chief Roberts said continual surveillance at CSU can't be used because there has been no definite pattern detected. "Without a definite established pattern, it would be a waste of time to have men cover a specific area," Roberts said. But he added that the police are keeping their eyes open for any potential car thieves. "Any suspicious person will be questioned by campus security and asked for some identification," said Roberts.
eight finalists recommended to the regents by ECU's campus advisory committee. He later declined to take the position when opposition was voiced by faculty members and the Ada Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of the campus advisory screening committee is to recommend applicants to fill positions such as president. The committee at CSU is normally composed of one student selected by the president, one faculty member from each of the five colleges and dean of students. Jeff Shilling, CSU student association member, recently served on such a committee and said he is very upset by the ECU incident. "I think that it is sad that one would use a screening committee for the selection process and then blatantly go against their decision," he said. Shilling also said that the committee puts in several days of hard work in screening applicants.
"After this last conflict, it may be a waste of time if the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges has their way," Shilling said. "I don't have a problem with our regents hiring who they want, but I don't think they should waste other peoples time if they already have someone in mind for the position," he said. Dr. Fred Grosz, CSU chemistry professor and president of the Faculty Senate, said that it is quite possible that a situation such as this could happen at CSU. Grosz said that faculty members are very concerned with the selection process because they want to see quality people in these positions. "The Board needs to either accept the names recommended by the faculty members or start the process all over again," he said. Oklahoma Board of Regents President, Linda Grantham, was in conference at press time and could not be reached for comment.
Counseling may avert CSU suicide attempts By Scott Wheeler
Student Writer Central State University has experienced five suicide attempts this academic year, which is about average, according to Lt. Doris Dunn of the Central State University Police Department. The Central State University Counseling Center offers counseling to students who attempt suicide, according to counselor Peggy Foster. This year approximately 100 college-age people will commit suicide because of personal or academic pressures, according to Dr. Jannette Wallis of the Oklahoma Youth Suicide Prevent Task Force. "It's usually a combination of circumstances surrounding school and alcohol and/or drug abuse that trigger suicide attempts at CSU," Dunn said. "Often times," she continued, "the potential victims are away from their home for the first time and unable to talk with friends or family they grew up with. "It's especially difficult for foreign students whose families are overseas," Dunn said. In an article appearing in
"The Oklahoma Educator" April/May edition Wallis examined the reasons people attempt suicide. Stress is often a primary cause of depression and anxiety that trigger an attempt. Studies indicate that suicide attempts increase at mid-term and at finals when scholastic pressures are at their greatest. Wallis indicated that a solution is difficult to devise but counseling is an effective way of helping a potential victim deal with their problems. Wallis listed some signs in her article that indicate a potential suicide. They are: • Serious depression and/or crying a lot. • Increased isolation from family, friends and social activities. • Giving away prized possesions. • Making statements about wanting to die or actually threatening to commit suicide. • Violent actions or angry outbursts. • Taking unnecessary risks. • Acting strangely or having mood swings. • Abusing drugs or alcohol. • Neglecting personal appearance.

Viewpoints
Those who don't care get what they deserve By Kevin Hunter Student Writer Much to the relief of the CSU administration, this will probably be the last opinion of mine printed by The Vista. In view of this fact, I feel it is my moral obligation to leave behind a few final bits of wisdom.
Opinion Despite continual criticism from persons affiliated with CSU athletics, I hold my ground against the waste of student activity fees in that area as well as in other areas deemed worthy of funding by CSU. I may point out that students who have little time to benefit from their student activity fees are those that pay the most, since the fees are assesed at the rate of $3 per credit hour. It could also be said that the athletic department, as well as all other organizations funded by the fees, are in part funded by the state welfare department. That's because financially and physically disadvantaged students attending classes through vocational rehabilitation programs are required to pay the fees like everyone else.

tion of this campus continues to ignore the wishes of students by funding functions with these fees that students neither attend nor support. The administration would do well to remember that the function of the university is not solely to provide a comfy retirement package for old administrators, faculty, and staff. I would hope the primary purpose of the university is to provide students with a usable education. Somewhere down the line, this has been forgotten at CSU. Those who decide CSU's budget seem to have forgotten that without the students there would be no university or retirement package. I and a few others have been labeled trouble-makers and rebels for voicing our opinions and striving to force those in power to abide by the rules and the laws. Perhaps I was wrong in assum-
ing that this is still a free country. Maybe I was wrong in taking to heart that quote from Philosphy 101, "I may not agree with a word you say, but I will defend unto the death you're right to say it." There are worse things to be than a rebel, I suppose. I have heard that the rebel is a necessary element of society; for without the rebel, there is complacency; and where there is complacency, there is decadence. Rebellion is not to be confused with revolution. Revolution, from the root word 'revolve,' would merely trade one administration for another. Lord knows we have enough administration on this campus already (almost $1 million annually). On the other hand, I would urge students to rebel. Though it has not exactly made me rich, I am able to live peacefully with my conscience. It would be interesting
to find out how many administrators require a round of sleeping pills to make it through the night. I cannot say that my education here has been entirely without benefit. Through my experiences with authority figures here, I can well understand why this country is so screwed up. Never in my life have I witnessed so much power-
mongering with so little to gain, but so much to lose. The saddest experience I have encountered on campus is student apathy. As an individual, I have done what is possible for one person to do, which is not very much. The bottom line, I guess, is that those who don't care and don't strive to correct unjust situations get what they deserve.

SA President gives parting thoughts To the Editor: Now that I have left office I would like to leave you with a few thoughts concerning student government. The Student Association can only be effective if students support it. Although we all have differing views on unions, student government is very similar to a union. However, there is rarely a strike vote. Student government derives it's credibility from what it does for the campus, and student support plays a major part.
Letter In the past, student government has been responsible for keeping your tuition and fees from climbing faster than they are today. Although tuition seems high, just think what it would be like to pay

It has been difficult, but so is everything else that yields results. Please recognize that students who are active in the Student Association are active because they enjoy improving our student body. I encourage you to get involved, or at least, be supportive.

Be careful, what you ask for you might get By Alex Eby Student Writer For the past few weeks, viewers of local news broadcasts have been bombarded by stories of gang violence and killings in Los Angeles. Reporters then find a need to tie the gangs to the Oklahoma City area. This is accomplished by showing viewers pictures of gang graffiti on the side of a shack in south Oklahoma City.
Opinion Contained in these reports are Oklahoma City police representatives commenting on gang activities in the metro area. Also included are what appear to be file shots of poor, black city neighborhoods. Oklahoma City appears fascinated by gangs. All the commotion started
when Los Angeles reported that the number of gang related deaths since the first of the year had already exceeded the total number of deaths reported last year. Coupled with this is the release of the controversial movie, "Colors." The movie is about gang violence and the problems two Los Angeles police officers have dealing with it. This is all the media needed. With the 1988 election becoming a stale topic, scores of reporters needed something new, so they chose to blow the gang situation out of proportion and thrust it on the public. The first reports of gang related violence in Oklahoma City involved the "ruthless" skinheads. The gang sent fear rippling through the community by vandalizing a Jewish synagogue and burning a cross on the lawn of a church with a predominately black congregation.
The skinheads turned out to be some over-indulged youths who were bored. The next sign of gang invasion was a single piece of graffiti that contained the name of an Los Angeles street gang known as the Crips. Reporters have found nothing to further support the idea that gangs are running the drug traffic in Oklahoma City. Nothing new to report on, but plenty to speculate on. Suddenly, every person arrested on a drug charge is branded a member of some gang. The controversy over the movie "Colors" centers on the theory that the movie romanticizes the gang style of life. Doing this encourages young people to join these gangs. By doing this they are adding to the already abundant memberships these groups have. Can't the news media be accused of the same thing? By flooding their broadcasts with stories of how much money can be made by
dealing drugs, and giving this problem massive amounts of exposure, they are subjecting Oklahoma City teens to this alternate way of life. The press is guilty of the same charge they are reporting. The press, by reporting on every possible angle, may defeat its own purpose. In every broadcast, Oklahoma City is presented as having the ideal conditions for drug trafficking. They are, in effect, putting out an ad for a gang to make Oklahoma City its home. WANTED: a few gangs to turn the streets of this city to a war zone and drug supermarket. Will be provided with ideal conditions for illegal profits. In return will be expected to provide the media with a variety of drive-by killings and drug busts to be reported by paranoid news personalities. Apply at any local television station. Be careful Oklahoma City. What you ask for, you just might get.

"Hunter made an appointment, but didn't show up for it," Mounce said. She added that if the reporter would have called back, she would have referred him to the appropriate person. The reporter began his inquiries March 29 at the office of the comptroller and was initially denied access to the information. "The office has certain procedures to follow to keep just anybody from wandering in off the streets and demanding to see CSU's records," said a CSU accountant, Bonnie Phillips. She also said she would be more than happy to let the reporter view those records, but added the reporter would need to receive authorization from Vice President for Administration Joyce Mounce. Mounce was in conference and could not be reached that day. On the next attempt to gain access to the contingency account,

Mounce was again in conference and could not be reached. Mounce's secretary referred the reporter to the office of Phil Arnold, assistant vice president for administration. Arnold had an appointment and was also unavailable. As the reporter explained the purpose of his visit to Arnold's secretary, Arnold arrived and inquired to the nature of the reporter's visit. But when the reporter explained what he wanted to see, Arnold said, "I don't know if it's any of your business. I'm certainly not going to release that information without authorization. "I'm not sure you would be able to understand the figures, anyway. I have a masters in accounting, and it would take time for me to understand that information." Arnold said that he never read the Oklahoma Open Records Act and that he was unfamiliar with its purpose.

The reporter then contacted John Wylie, regional deputy director for Freedom of Information, a watch dog committee for the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi. After being told about difficulties in gaining access to the records, Wylie said, "the law requires a records officer to be available during business hours to release that information. "It wouldn't bother me at all to come file a complaint with District Attorney Bob Macy," Wylie said.

At this point, the reporter called the Oklahoma State Attorney General's office and talked with Ned Bastow, assistant attorney general and chief of general counsel. After he was told about the reporter's problems, Bastow said, "If they call me, I'll advise them, but they'll have to come up with better answers than that." "I would encourage them to check with a lawyer," he added.

She said that some years, the school spends almost all of it, and some years almost none of it. Martin added that the largest part of it went to pay for things such as the breakfast held for graduating seniors. She also said that she could not say where the $25 fee charged to graduating seniors was spent without first studying the records. Martin stated that she wasn't trying to hide anything, but that she had not handled any requests to see financial records before, and that she felt that it would be like having someone look at her own bank account.
Martin also said she had never read the open records act. The reporter supplied her with a copy, but she said that it was probably written for the benefit of qualified people, like the state auditor.

He also said he did not feel records concerning student activity fees are public record. Mounce said that Arnold was new in the office and was not familiar with procedures regarding open records. On the next visit to Mounce's office, the reporter was referred again, this time to Budget Director Sharon Martin. Martin was willing to tell about the the general nature of CSU's contingency account, but was unwilling to produce actual records. Martin said the school uses the contingency fund for "a kind of savings account."

Wylie suggested the reporter write a formal letter to CSU's records officer requesting the information. The reporter drafted the letter and delivered it to Mounce's office. The letter noted that failure to comply with the Open Records Act could result in a misdemeanor, punishable by up to oneyear's imprisonment and a $500 fine. Mounce said she is still CSU's records officer, even though the office responsible for the information is CSU's personnel office, headed by Blanche Washington. Mounce was transferred from head of the Personnel Office to Vice President for Administration in November. The Vista was contacted by Budget Director Sharon Martin before the reporter even made it back from Mounce's office. Martin referred the reporter to Blanche Washington, personnel director. Washington provided the reporter with a request form that included a price list for research and copying fees for the requested information. Washington said it would require extensive research. The research, according to the form provided, would cost $8 for each hour. But the reporter told Washington that according to the act, the information requested, if released in the public interest to the news media, scholars, authors and taxpayers, had to be released without charge. Washington said she would have to wait for an opinion from the state attorney general before she would authorize the release of the requested information. Several days later, during the week of April 18-22, she contacted the reporter and said the information the reporter requested would be released and there would be no charge for the research "because there was not as much research involved as originally anticipated." The Vista finally obtained the records it requested concerning expenditures from the account entitled "University Contingency," almost one month to-the-day after it was originally requested. The majority of items on the list entitled "receipts" were marked simply "budget change." The list marked "disbursments" indicated that the majority of these went to the University Center Food Service. For example, the seniors' breakfast cost $3,285 in 1986; up $465 from the previous year, and on Jan. 13 1986, University Center Food Service was paid $1,428. The amounts deposited (receipts) and withdrawn (disbursments) ranged from $22 to more than $3,000. Specific information on what the money was spent for was not included on the budget information received. Phillips said more detailed information could be obtained off microfish using a more detailed request. She added that only Mounce or CSU President Bill Lillard could authorize payments out of the fund, and would also know exactly how it was spent.

In 1984, a new breed of pistol was introduced to the world. An Austrian firm, Glock Ges, a Vienna-based high-technology company specializing in military and police products, marketed some of the first pistols to use space-age polymer materials for major parts of their construction. By 1986, this new pistol, called the Glock 17, was exposed in the media as being ideal for terrorists since the polymer "plastic" materials used in its construction would not show up on airport detection equipment. This threat, as it was seen at the time, sparked numerous Congressional ventures that attempted to deal with the problem. In Congress, these dealings took the form of numerous bills introduced by pro-gun groups and anti-gun groups in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The more potentially restrictive of these bills are 85 and 1002, for they would prohibit the manufacture, sale or importation into the United States of any handgun that was not readily detectable by standard security devices. The two bills introduced through the Senate, 465 and 2051, were sponsored by Senator Howard Metzenbaum (465) and Senators James McClure and Orrin Hatch (2051). The former bill would, according to National Riflemen's Association (NRA) reports, give the secretary of the treasury "...absolute discretion to ban any firearm that is composed of less than 8.5 ounces of steel." Bill 2051, sponsored by the gunsupporters, would define a "plastic firearm" as one "...whose frame and slide are each constructed entirely of polymer or ceramic, or any combination thereof." It would also make it unlawful to construct or import "plastic firearms" unless the barrel was made of metal, the serial number was marked in metal and the polymer parts were infused with barium sulfate or a similiar compound to make them
detectable by X-ray machines. However, this new gun, that has frightened some legislators, is creeping into vogue. It has already been adopted by the Austrian and Norwegian armies as the official side arm. It was also sold to Canada and Sweden. With the opening of the United States market in 1986 by the approval of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the gun found a niche that developed more supporters and haters. What all th fuss was about was now known to the interested public. The Glock 17 sold for around $450, about $200 cheaper than comparable models constructed primarily of metal. The gun was already proven to be extremely durable--the Austrian army put it through punishing tests of heat, cold, and physical shock, just as the manufacturer had done. The gun was summarily proven to resist all at least as well as metal firearms. In many ways, it was even superior. The gun weighs 23.8 ounces, 19 of which are metal. The rest is polymer. The metal parts are given a special coating that hardens the surfaces and increases durability. Compared to similiar metallic models, the Glock 17 is lighter, more durable, reliable and less expensive to manufacture, thus less expensive to buy. And all these elements contribute to its acceptance by a large market. The gun also has many advanced design features apart from the material used. Without the use of tools, it can easily be taken part for cleaning. It has a unique two stage trigger that cocks the gun, releases a safety and fires the weapon. It also has an additional safety aside from the one contained in the trigger action. Furthermore, the grip is designed with contours that give it natural pointing qualities that aid in accuracy. These and other features enabled it to win the prestigeous Gun of the Year award, in 1987. All this makes it one of the more advanced pistols on the
kinko•s
market. But it is not the only one that incorporates the use of nonmetallic materials in its construction. Several other manufacturers have used similar materials. Heckler and Koch, a German arms manufacturer, was producing the VP7OZ and P9S for sale in the United States before the Glock company began its pistol. These pistols, also 9mm, used material like the Glock, although not the same kind. The material in these pistols was used in much the same way the polymer was used in the Glock--for the frame, grip panels-which the Glock does not have-and other parts not subject to the extreme stress directly associated with firing a bullet. Of the weapons mentioned so far, each could be severely affected by any of the bills under consideration at this time. But according to Terry Harmon, a gun dealer for Mashburn Arms and Sporting Goods Inc., Oklahoma City, none of them can slip through airport security without being detected, provided of course that the operators of the detection equipment are well trained and attentive. According to early media accounts in "Newsweek", a demonstration by Rep. Mario Biaggi of New York showed that the Glock 17 could be smuggled through airport security. A Pentagon security specialist smuggled a disassembled Glock 17 through People Express Airlines' X-ray equipment at Washington's National Airport. According to the Federal Avia-
tion Administration's Civil Aviation Security Report No. 86EA720158, on Sept. 27, 1986, a .36 caliber Colt Navy pistol constructed of 44 ounces of metal and 13 inches long, also passed undetected through the same detection equipment at the Washington airport. Astrophysics Research Corp., the world's largest manufacturer of X-ray security equipment used at more than 90 percent of U.S. airports, acknowledges that the Glock 17 is as easily identifiable on the monitor of detection equipment as any other weapon. Furthermore, it tripped metal detection alarms at normal settings just as any pistol would. In September to December 1986, the FAA performed screening tests for weapons at 20 major U.S. airports. On the average, 20 percent of the weapons passed undetected. Overall, detection rates in the study ranged from 99 percent effectiveness to 34 percent. To cure the ills of detection problems for a truly all plastic weapon, the FAA is developing plastic firearm detection equipment. According to NRA reports on the subject, the FAA reports that they are currently two to 10 years away from developing such equipment. All plastic weapons, however, are still in the future. According to Terry Harmon, there are no allplastic firearms in existence today, unless toys are included in the classification.

Survey reveals whites and blacks should work together By Clytie Bunyan Student Writer
At a time when the country was remembering the 20th anniversary of Martin Luther King's death, Central State University students take opposite positions on the status of race discrimination. To determine students' racial issues 50 black and 50 white students were randomly surveyed in the Oklahoma Room of the University Center over a twoweek period on a varitey of racial issues. Students were asked to respond to 24 questions which ranged from politics to education and racial discrimination. The survey was a two-part questionnaire. The first part, which required a true or false response, was to determine if CSU students believe racial problems among both races can be resolved. The second part, which required responses on a scale of one to five, sought to determine if the students had the tools to become involved in resolving racial problems or if they were willing to take a definite position on racial issues. On the scale, 1 was most certainly not; 2, no; 3, maybe; 4, yes and 5, most certainly yes. Students were asked to respond to statements such as "Racial discrimination is decreasing in the 80s," "Affirmative action is more helpful than harmful to society," "It is likely there will be a black president of the United States in the next 20 years," and "Generally, whites care about blacks." Results of the survey revealed that students are uncertain about some issues and most do not agree or disagree strongly about many. For example, on questions asking if the government, whites, or blacks themselves are to blame for
the poverty among blacks, almost 50 percent of the blacks responded "some responsibility" to all three. While most whites also had the same response as blacks for the last two of those choices, 36 percent responded that the government is not to blame for poverty among blacks. The survey also revealed that whites are more optimistic about the economic future for blacks than blacks are for themselves.
'The survey also revealed that whites are more optimistic about the economic future for blacks than blacks are for themselves.' Thirty-six percent of the white students said economic and social conditions for blacks in this country "may" improve within the next 10 years, 54 percent who responded said economic conditions may improve and 30 percent said they "will" improve. Only about eight percent of the black students said economic conditions for blacks in this country "most certainly" will improve within the next 10 years. How this economic uplift is to be acheived seems in doubt. For instance, while white students appear to be optimistic about the future economic situation for blacks, 66 percent seemed disinclined towards believing in
community self-help when they responded that middle and upperclass blacks said should not be obligated to help poorer blacks. Yet, 60 percent said wealthy blacks do not patronize black business enough. The black students were split on whether middle and upperclass blacks should be obligated to help less fortunate blacks. Fifty percent said they should and 50 percent said they should not. Seventy-four percent said wealthy blacks do not patronize blacks business enough. Also, 58 percent of the black students said affimative action is more helpful than harmful to society and 22 percent were unsure. While 34 percent of the white students polled also seemed unsure if affirmative action is helpful to society, 48 percent said it is helpful Uncertainty also was apparent among both groups when asked if people in either race generally care about people in the other race. For example, only about 30 percent of each group responded that blacks generally care about whites. Forty-four percent of the white students and 40 percent of the blacks were unsure. When asked the opposite, if whites generally care about blacks, 50 percent of the white and 41 percent of the black students were unsure. Only 31 percent of the blacks and 34 percent of the whites said whites generally care about their black counterparts. Among the whites, only one disagreed strongly that whites care about blacks. About 10 percent of the white students also strongly disagreed that blacks care about whites. Among the blacks, 14 percent strongly disagreed that blacks and whites care about each other, one strong-

'Uncertainty also was apparent among both groups when asked if people in either race generally care about people in the other race.'
Thirty-four percent responded strongly that interracial relationships "most certainly do not" help reduce racial problems. Although they were too unsure about the effects of interracial relationships on racial problems, white students also tended to respond negatively to this question. Forty-four percent said mixed relationships do not help racial problems, 34 percent said "maybe," and about 20 percent said they do, Only nine students, five black and four white, suggested strongly that interracial relationships help reduce racial problems. When asked if racial discrimination is decreasing in the 80s, 60 percent of the white students responded that it is but 84 percent of the blacks claimed that it is not. However, both groups strongly suggested that civil rights activities are not outdated.
Blacks and whites considered (48 percent and 62 percent respectively), that there is reverse discrimination because of civil rights reform. But in spite of their opposite positions on the status of racial discrimination, students seemed almost equally optimistic about the likelihood of a black United States president in the next 20 years. Twenty years since the assasination of Martin Luther King, Jr., 76 percent of the white students polled said whites respect King's works. Thirty-one percent of the blacks said they are unsure if whites respect King's work; 50 percent said they do. Students overwhelmingly agreed that most people would not prefer to attend a mostly segregated school instead of a racially mixed one. But while blacks responded that black students are less prepared for college than their white counterparts, whites disagreed. Seventy percent of the white students said blacks said they are less prepared. Sixty percent of the blacks said they are less prepared. Both groups also responded that blacks are not less ambitious than whites. While black students responded that women are faring better than black men in the U.S., white students said they are not. Sixty-eight percent of the blacks said black women are faring better than black men but 69 percent of the whites disagreed. The survey show that while whites are more optimistic, both whites and blacks are unsure on many of the same questions. But whether they agreed or disagreed or refused to respond to certain questions, 92 percent of the two racial groups surveyed agree that blacks and whites should work together to eliminate racial problems.

All four Broncho firsts came at the Southwestern Relays in Winfield, Kansas Saturday afternoon.
Jeff Brown, a senior from Ponca City, turned in a 6-8 performance in the high jump to earn a top-finish. The Broncho jumping specialist owns the CSU record with a 6-10 mark and has qualifyed for the national event. Rodney Glenn also picked up a Broncho first in Winfield.

Broncho softball mentor โ ข district coach of the year By Micki Long Student Writer Dr. Gerry Pinkston, Central State University women's softball coach, was named District 9 Coach of the Year at the awards ceremony following the District 9 softball championship game at the Softball Hall of Fame Complex in Oklahoma City Saturday. Pinkston coached this year's Lady Bronchos to a 20-11 season record and the District 9 Softball Championship for the first time since 1982. The team will play the District 10 winner in Kansas May 13-14 for the bi-district title. The winner of that game will go on to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletic's National Tournament in Oklahoma City May 19-21. Pinkston has coached at CSU for 13 years, taking teams to the national tournament in 1980 and 1982. During that time, she guided the lady Bronchos to a 223-136 record. This year Pinkston coached five players who were named to the All-District 9 team and the league's most valuable player, senior pitcher Gladys Griffin.
Pinkston received a bachelor's degree in education from Oklahoma State University, a master's from CSU and a doctorate from OSU. She is also the director of CSU women's Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
3:.13.14 time at the Southwestern event to meet the national tournament standards. Mark Davis is the pace setter on the Broncho unit. Dallas Tice runs in the third slot, and Roy Mendenhall handles the anchor chores. The same four runners also produced the fourth CSU first-place mark at the meet. The unit ran the 800-meter relay in 1:26.7. Three Broncho thinclads earned individual runner-up honors. Eugene Spears, a sophomore from Lawton, finished the 400-meter run with a 48.50 second-place time. Tice finished second in the 100-meter sprint after managing a 10.70 mark. Pete Martinez, a sophomore fomr Moore, produced the final Broncho second-place finish with a 15-0 leap in the
pole vault. Brown, topping his own school record with a 6-10 mark, finished second and meet the national standard. The CSU 400-meter unit also produced a second-place, national qualifying performance. Davis, Mendenhall, Tice and Glenn ran the event in 41.55 for a second-place finish. In addition the men's contigent, CSU will send a pair of lady Bronchos to compete in the NAIA national meet. Amber Tilley, a sophomore from Enid, qualified in the javelin and long jump events. Selina Smith, who doubles as a lady Broncho basketball player in the fall, will enter the 100- 200-meter dashes. The national meet is scheduled for May 26-28 in Azusa, Calif.
After struggling through a year of reconstruction, the Central State University tennis team, pernninal District 9 championship favorites, stumbled in a bid to defend its district crown last weekend at the Oklahoma City Tennis Club. Coach Baxter's youthful Bronchos wound up with a fourth-place finish in the field of area teams.
University netter's district crown boosted the Chief's runaway team championship. OCU captured individual titles in eight of nine flights. Rob Autry, a Broncho senior from Edmond, advanced through the first round of the tourney. Autry, tackling the competition in the No. 2 singles bracket, pulled out a 7-6, 7-6 win over Herb White in his opener but fell to J.J. Tisdale 6-1, 6-0 in the semifinals. Joseph Satiago, Mont Roper, Andy Bruner and Tom Schmidt round out the list of CSU's tournament team. Bruner, squaring off against the eventual district champion in his first match, suffered the only Broncho first-round defeat. Brad Trost, from OCU, handed the CSU senior a 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 setback. The Bronchos entered three doubles teams in the tournament but all fell in the semifinals.

Savages end Bronchos post-season hopes Southeastern sweeps doubleheader to eliminate CSU Settling for a disappointing 13-29 season record, the Central State University baseball team wound up on the losing side of the scoreboard in its final two games of the season after dropping a pair of games to Southeastern State (- 1" University in the first round of the District 9 playoffs Saturday afternoon in Durant. Southeastern, fueled by an 18-hit assault, dealt coach Bobby Hunt's crew a 22-14 loss in the first game of the best-two-out-ofthree series. Joe Don Dunn punched five hits for the Southeastern crew. The Savage catcher ripped three homeruns and plated seven SE
runs in the contest. The Bronchos battled to a 14-11 lead after six innngs. But an 11-run Savage surge in the seventh and eighth innings left CSU eight runs short on the scoreboard. Broncho starter Jay Sparks surrendered seven hits and eight runs in his five-inning stint. Reliever Bryan Phurrough was tagged for six more Savage runs in his twoinning effort. Bill Richmond and Jeff Trost pounded homeruns for the Broncho cause. Richmond, a junior outfielder from Owasso, ripped his sixth roundtripper of the season in his three-for-five performance at the plate. The Broncho
rightfielder collected four RBI, and scored a run. Trost, an infielder also from Owasso, tagged his third homerun of the year. The Broncho junior plated three RBI and scored three runs in the contest. Catcher Larry Cobble connected for three hits. The Tuttle junior ripped a double and a triple and scored three Broncho runners. Mike Morrow and John Ginsterblum also tagged extrabasehits in the ball game. Morrow, a junior first baseman from Tuttle, managed a double. Ginsterblum, an Edmond freshman, cranked a triple.
The Bronchos outhit their District 9 foes in the nightcap 15-9, but five errors and nine walks helped turn a nine-hit Savage attack into a 10-8 win. Southeastern nursed a 3-2 lead through five innings before the Bronchos exploded for five runs in the sixth. The Savages echoed CSU's efforts with a pair of runs in their side of the inning but trailed 7-5. A five-run Savage seventh did the hopeful Bronchos in. SE controlled a 10-7 lead and held CSU to one run in its final three at-bats to earn the win. Tim Roberts was saddled with
