Drinking motorists to lose driving licenses Between now and the end of the year, more than 23,000 Oklahoman's will lose their driving privileges for at least nintey days if April's trend continues. Under the state's new drunk driving law, 2,637 drivers have had their licenses suspended for a minimum of ninety days as the result of driving under the influence (DUI) arrests made during April. A total of 3,083 DUI revocation forms were sent to the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety during April. Of those, 2,477 surrendered their licenses because a breath test showed them to be driving with an alcohol concentration of 0.10 (ten-hundredths) or above. The remaining 606 lost their licenses because they refused to submit to a test for intoxication. Of the 3,083 who surrendered their licenses, 446 have filed written requests to appeal the suspensions. Under the new law which became effective April 1st, the arresting officer immediately seizes the license of any driver who fails a test for intoxication or who refuses to take the test. He then forwards it to ODPS along with a breath analysis report or a refusal affidavit. The driver is issued a thirty-day temporary driving permit, pending an appeal of the license suspension. A written request for an administrative hearing must be filed with the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (ODPS) within fifteen days from the date of arrest.

The arresting officer then files the drunk driving charge in addition to the license suspension. "Those 2,637 drivers who chose not to appeal are automatically under suspension thirty days from the date of arrest," said Public Safety Commissioner Paul W. Reed, Jr. "We expect the number of suspensions for April to go much higher as the appeal process is completed," he said. In the past, more than ninety percent of all suspensions have been upheld. "Just looking at our experience during the first month under the new law, we could easily suspend more than 23,000 licenses by the end of the calenday year," Reed said. "Compare that to 8,180 alcoholrelated license revocation orders issued on 1981 convictions and 9,862 issued so far for convictions on 1982 DUI arrests." Complete figures will not be available for either year until all cases are processed through the court system. "However, we would hope that as potential drinking drivers realize we're very serious about enforcing the law, they'll voluntarily decide not to drive after they've been drinking," said Reed. "When that happens, I think we'll see a decline in the number of arrests and subsequently, the number of license suspensions," he said.

This fire escape at East Hall is one construction project in store for the campus during the summer. Others include adding more fire escapes and also a new nursing building.

Campus newspaper wins third All American The Vista, Central State's campus newspaper received the rating of All American by the Associated College Press (ACP). This is the third time in three consecutive semesters that The Vista has garnered the All American award. The ACP, a national critique service sponsored by the University of Minnesota, bases their judging on what a broad range of publications are acheiving. It judges both collegiate and high school publications. Papers are classified on the basis of school enrollment, frequency of publication and printing process. The purpose of the critique is to provide the students and advisors with an outside opinion of their work and to provide them with ideas that might help to improve the paper. "We've had five All American awards in the last six years," commented Dr.Ray Tassin, administrative publisher and head of the journalism department, "which I think is excellent for a program of this size. We always rank extremely high in photography. We've been stronger in reporting and editorial writing than in other areas."

The 1982 fall semester staff included Barbara Boatman, editor; Patricia Uselton, assistant editor; Dwayne Long,assistant editor; Robert Slankard,sports editor; Donald DeVault, paste-up artistcirculation manager; and Mike Sherman, staff writer. Said Dr.Tassin of the editor and staff, "She (Barbera Boatman) had a very good supporting staff and that makes the editor's job easier." The Vista was given a rating of "superior" in the areas of newswriting, sportswriting, and editorial cartoons. Ratings of "excellent" were given in the categories of scope of sources, balance of sources, timeliness and vitality of content, sports coverage, copy editing, range of opinion content, design, printing quality, cutlines, and also in art and graphics. "If a newspaper is to mirror it's community with a wide range of content, The Vista does it excellently" wrote John Vivian, one of the ACP's judges.He went on to describe The Vista as having a "good range and mature approach" in regard to coverage and content. He also described the

paper as being "highly readable," and also being strong in art and graphics. Hank Mooney, director and executive editor of The Vista said, "We compete with newspapers across the country. The fact that The Vista has won it (All American) three semesters in a row is significant. The fall staff as a whole did an excellent job. Even though we have our problems, which I would be the first to admit, The Vista and its staff must be doing something right to receive the award for three consecutive semesters. "The staff puts in many more hours per week than they are paid for and we need at least two more paid slots on the staff to cut the overtime down for all. Our new

Mycro-Comp front end system has helped but has also caused a number of problems. It just means that we now have more to teach the students in the same amount of time. But, its worth the trouble since the industry has gone almost completly to computers. "Our front end system is used in more than 1100 newspapers over the country, therefore our students are better prepared and understand the word processor and are able to achieve entry positions before others. "We have a real and valid need," Mooney continued, "for our own disk drive and controller in our office. Since we are in the office sometimes late at night and on the weekends, we need access

to the storage capability of the

disk but since we are hindered by the print shop closing at 5 pm and turning off the equipment it hampers the operation. We really must get something done as soon as possible about the situation," he said. "Its not the print shop that is at fault; its the weather and our long connection lines to the print shop. We must disconnect the equipment to protect it. "We have been hit by lightening on four occasions this year and it costs several thousand dollars to repair it or if I do it which I have done the last three times it takes a little over 15 hours to rebuild all the equipment. There is just a lot more to a newspaper today than most people understand," he concluded.

Balman reassigned to teach By Matthew Driskill and Donald DeVault The Academic Advisory staff will be the first to feel the university's budget knife when eight members are cut to seven. Dr. Gail E. Balman, academic advisor will be cut from the staff, but will return to the classroom in the fall semester. Balman is the advisor for social studies, geography, history, journalism and oral communications. Dr.Balman had no comment on the matter. Donna Guinn, academic advisement coordinator said, "That's true," about the Balman transfer from advisor to instructor. Guinn believed that the move would not be a help to the students. "I don't think that's a step in the right direction," Guinn said. Dr.Bill Lillard, CSU president, said that the ad-

visement program "will continue to provide the same, if not improved service, to the students with one less advisor." "Our service to the students will not suffer," Lillard said. But Guinn said that the advisor's workload will be redistributed among the remaining seven advisors. Guinn went on to say that the transfer may affect more than the people in Balman's area of advisement. Dr.Frank Finney, dean of the school of Liberal Arts, said that Dr. Balman will be transferred to the political science department in the fall. Dr. Patrick Cassens, vice-president for academic affairs, had no comment except to say that the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges would have the final say on the subject. The Regents, in their May meeting, reaffirmed the Balman transfer from advisor to assistant professor of political science.

Hurlers win dist.9, Way to go team. The Vista would like to take the time to congratulate the baseball team for a job well done. The Bronchos won their first title ever as they rolled over Southwestern with an 11-4 victory at Oklahoma City's municiple park.The victory put the team in the Area III tournament where they took second place after losing to Kansas Newman, who went on to win the tournament. The school should take the time to say "atta' boy" to coach Bobby Hunt and to the rest of the team. We would also like to thank the fans that came out to the games and supported the team. Coach Hunt was heard to say that he didn't think that any other team in the area could have done a better job. We would like to second that opinion and say that we look forward to watching the team in action next spring. Some of the returning players will be: Brett Hauser, Ron Maxwell, Greg Foster and Barry Crow on the pitching staff. Others returning to the squad next year will be Jay Watkins, Brett Turner, Robbie Carnes and Todd Green.

Land too valuable to sell for debt alternative needed to solve issue By Kathie Slutter The Asset Management Program, a Reagan Administration plan to reduce the national debt by selling federal land has become a local issue to Oklahomans. Legislation has been proposed to sell as much as six million acres of national forest land including 61,088 acres in Oklahoma. This is twenty-two percent of the state's total national forest acreage. The sale is part of a five-year program announced last year that involves thirty-five million acres. It is supposed to net the government about $17 billion to be applied to the national debt which is approaching $1 trillion. But the money earned from the federal real estate would only pay part of one year's interest on the national debt. The land proposed for sale contains many valuable environmental assets not found in other parts of the state, and would become a significant loss if sold. The land is in addition to other government land scheduled for sale under similar programs. This includes 8,000 acres administered by Interior Secretary James Watt's Bureau of Land Management and 714 acres owned by the Army Corps of Engineers. The U.S. Forest Service has named four of its holdings in Oklahoma suitable for sale under the Asset Management Program. These are the Black Kettle National Grasslands, 31,000 acres; Rita Blanca National Grasslands, 15,600 acres; Quachita National Forest, 13,958 acres in Mc-

Curtain County; and another section But it seems that all concerned of the Quachita National Forest, 830 groups who would be affected by the sale are against it.

Nursing students honored

State,local, world news

A CSU nursing student, Kathy Easter, was one of four scholarship winners in the Third Annual Scholarship Endowment Program of Presbyterian Hospital. A $2000

award was presented to Easter by Lyndsey Stone, R.N., Vice President, Nursing, during a ceremony in the home of Dr. and Mrs. Richard Clay, Oklahoma Ciy.

Steed dies of cancer Former U.S. Rep. Tom Steed has died at the age of 79. He served as Oklahoma's 4th District congressman for 32 years, longer than any other Oklahoma representive. The cause of death was listed as liver failure due to widespread cancer. Steed was known for the legisation he co-authored which created the federal impact aid program for schools with large numbers of children of federally employed workers.

Wilson obtains restraining order Wilson Foods obtained an order Tuesday signed by Oklahoma County District Judge Charles L. Owens to curtail alleged illegal, violent and intimidating tactics of striking workers at a local meat packing plant. June 22 Wilson filed for reorganization in bankruptcy court. At the same time, Wilson withdrew its union contract stating that the cause of the bankruptcy was uncompetitive labor costs. The plant, located at 2801 SW 15 in Oklahoma City, employs more than 500 people. Larry Witcher, personnel labor relations manager at Wilson accused the strikers of "violent, intimidating and abusive language directed at those entering and leaving the Wilson Foods Facility." He went on to say that the picketers "incited fights, assaulted and injured persons coming on the premises, broke windows on passenger vehicles and slashed tires." Plant officials asserted that Wilson would suffer "great and irreparable loss of finances and property as a direct result of mass picketing, violence and obstruction."

Giant white shark snagged A 14-foot-long white shark was snagged in a fishing net by David Tibble on Sunday. Tibble said he caught the 2,500 pound shark off Anacapa Island near Santa Barbara, California.

Diplomats ordered out of U.S. 21 Nicaraguan diplomats were ordered to leave the United States Tuesday in retaliation for the expulsion of three American Diplomats from Nicaragua. The Nicaraguan embassy alleged that the three American diplomats plotted for the CIA to kill foreign minister Miguel D'Escoto and to form terrorist squads.

Reagan changes nuclear stance The president adopted the basic arms control recommendation of his Commission on Strategic Forces Tuesday at a meeting of the National Security Council. This recommendation mainly changes the negotiating emphasis to firm controls on missle warheads instead of deep cuts in missles.

The awards are presented annually to the top four junior nursing students in the four baccalaureate nursing programs in the Oklahoma City area. Winners were selected on the basis of grades, commitment to nursing, as evidenced by activities in the school and community, and leadership abilites, said Claudia Loveland, R.N., chair of the scholarship program committee. "We have four goals in honoring these students," said Loveland. "First is to honor the outstanding students, and second, to assist each student to reach his or her fullest potential. "Our third goal is to enrich the professional life of all the faculty, both academic and clinical, of Presbyterian Hospital through involvement with these gifted students. "Our fourth goal is to create an environment conductive to meeting the needs of gifted and talented nursing students." Other nursing students received awards at the Annual Honors Assembly.

Campus shorts BSU The Baptist Student Union is sponsoring BASIC (Brothers and Sisters in Christ) this summer. They will be studying the basics of Cristian life which will begin with a cookout every

time. The price for the dinner is $1. BASIC started Tuesday and will continue every Tuesday evening at 6:30 throughout the summer session. Everyone is welcome to have fun and meet people.

Study tour The Acropolis and the Oracle of Apollo are two of the sight-seeing stops that will be made on a study tour to Greece , Egypt, Israel and Turkey sponsored by the department of education. Dr. William Van Osdol, special education coor-

dinator and tour sponsor, said the tour is scheduled for August 8-22. The price will be $1725-1799, depending on accomodations of the cruise ship. This price includes six nights in Athens, continental breakfasts and a seven day cruise to the Greek Isles, Egypt, Israel and Turkey. It also includes all

meals and entertainment on the ship, port taxes and all entrance fees . A $100 deposit is due upon reservation, which must be made by June 15. Students interested in going on the tour may enroll for two credit hours. For more information contact Dr.William Van Osdol at ext. 473.

Language workshops offered for summer The Central State University multi-cultural education program will offer four courses this summer. These will be especially useful to education students interested in bilingual education or English as a second language as an area of concentration, said April Haulman, coordinator. "Psychological Aspects of Multi-Cultural Education" is a 3 hours course offered 10:30-11:30 a.m. weekdays June 2-26. The students will study the needs of disadvantaged children and realistic approaches by parents, school and the community to aid in reaching their maximum potential. The seminar "Multi-Cultural Exceptional Child" will be of-

fered 10:30-11:20 Monday through Thursday during the summer semester for two credit hours. It will include an overview of the role of the ethnic student's self-concept development and the application of this knowledge for developing appropriate classroom procedures, said Haulman. Topics studied will include the semantics of multi-cultural, selfconcept development for the ethnic child and the role of language in multi-cultural education, to name a few. Two institutes will also be offered this summer. "English as a Second Language" is a three hour course scheduled for 1-5 p.m. weekdays June 13-July 1. It is designed to provide information

regarding the foundations of English as a second language including the nature of language and language learning development. Topics include oral skills and cultural insights, development of reading and writing skills, practical evaluation techniques, and resources and strategies for instruction, said Haulman. The other institute is "Founda-

tions of Bilingual Education," which will be offered for 2 credit hours 1-5 p.m. weekdays from July 5 to 22. It will cover history, philosophy and development of bilingual education and the meaning, needs, purpose and populations to be served. These courses will be useful to anyone planning to be a teacher in the southwest United States or

central Oklahoma, Haulman pointed out. "The problems posed by nonEnglish speaking students will be in these areas for all teachers," she said. "They won't just be handled by specialists." For more information about the multi-cultural program, contact Haulman at 341-2980, ext. 721.

Photos judged in top five percent Two CSU students received recognition in a national contest for student photographers sponsored by the magazine

Photographers Form. Ann Wakeman, photojournalism major, and Bea Gaddis, had their photos judged to be in the top five percent of 19,000 entries. Wakeman's photo of fall leaves and Gaddis's photo of a poinsetta were published last month in a directory of contest winners. Bea had this to say about photography, "I knew nothing about photography until three years ago. I'm a commercial art major and I took photography to help me with it. I decided it was a whole world in itself. That was my first photography contest. I think you can learn a lot from entering. There are so many ways you can use photography-as an art, to stop action and to capture nature. It's another way of speaking."

Head of the Journalism Department, Woody Gaddis commented, "I thought their pictures were as good as anything I saw in the winning group. For interested CSU students, a student photography exhibit will be held in the Art Gallery starting June 27. Bea Gaddis would like to encourage students to enter their photos in the exhibit which will last for two weeks and is open to all CSU students. Entries for the exhibit must be turned in the journalism office by June 15. Photos should be properly matted, suitable for framing and have an ID card. The journalism department will not take responsibility for damaged or stolen photos. No specific subject matter is required.

Leaf wins photo award John Leaf, a 19-year-old art student here won third place at the East Texas International Photography contest for his picture of a Dallas motel fire. Leaf's entry in the Spot News category, was one of 163 winners in the contest which had entries totalling 1,323 from all over the United States and from several foreign countries, including West Germay, Canada, France, and Denmark. The ETSU Photography Society called this year's contest, "one of the largest we've ever had." Leaf, who considers himself an artist first and foremost, said that photography is "an extension of my art. You have to be creative in photography. I don't think just anybody can pick up a camera, push a button and get a good shot." He said that he wants to go from college and teach high

Leaf got interested in the contest when he read a flier on a school bulletin board advertising the contest. He talked to several of his teachers and entered his picture of the fire. Three weeks later came the letter telling him that he had won. He said that he was "pretty happy" when he read the announcement and is now making plans to enter the contest next year. Some of the judges for the contest this year included: Jean Meziere, internationally known French photographer; Paul Roger Harris, curator of the Art Center in Waco; Rebecca Skelton, photographer for the Dallas Morning News; and Nuri Valbona, photographer for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Vista photos by Daniel Smith

83' Boys State held on campus More than 630 young men from across the state participated in the eight-day citizenship and model government program hosted by Central State University. The 1983 Boys State event, sponsored by the American Legion began Saturday, May 21. Under the direction of J.F. Buzidragis, Hartshorne, the Boys State delegates attended sessions to learn the functions of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government at the city, county and state levels. William Crozier, Dr. James Caster and Dr. Tom Guild, of the CSU political science faculty conducted the various sessions. Also conducting the sessions were retired professor Fred Machesney, Larry Lago, Ron Stuart, Ben Odom, David Kenny, Robert Pope, Judge Don Powers and Ron Wallis. Political science teacher William Crozier said that the sessions were based on a model of how state government should be conducted. One of the highlights for the program was an assembly visit by Governor George Nigh. Oklahoma Supreme Court Justice, Robert D. Simms conducted the inauguration ceremony for the new Boys State governor and lieutenant governor, Jeff Cox, Enid and Tim Eckenfels, Tulsa, respectively. The two will be delegates to Boys Nation to be held in July in Washington D.C. Gov. George Nigh addresses Boys' State

Special Olympics held here Swimming, track and field events, soccer, bowling, volleyball and basketball are some of the activities that were a part of The Special Olympics that was hosted by CSU, May 11-13. "Let me win, But if I cannot win, Let me be brave in the attempt," is the motto of the Special Olympians. Special Olympian of the Year, Roma Jean Wages has entered the competition and won 1st and 2nd place medals and ribbons every year since the Special Olympics started. She enters the Special Olympics because she likes "to try and win." Wage's coach said, "She is anxious to help and please...and makes

you feel good. We all feel she is what Special Olympics is all about." Coach of the Year, Ann Davidson, is an inspiration to her students. She practices with them every day and walks miles collecting aluminum cans to raise money for trips and expenses. Her students say she is "a good friend," "a super, fantastic lady," "the neatest person ever!" The CSU support staff for The Special Olympics were Dr. Bill Lillard, President of CSU; Alvin H. Alcorn, Executive Vice President; Dr. Homer L. Coker, Chairman of Health and Physical Education and Robert Fields, Director of Auxiliary Enterprises.

Psycho II follows Hitchcock theme By Mark Nash Psycho II is an exceptional movie in the glutted world of remakes and sequels. This picture truly has depth and a sense of direction. Written by Tom Hollander, Psycho II is both suspenseful and chillingly brutal without being grotesque. Throughout the film one has a sense of once again being involved in the Alfred Hitchcock thriller of a past generation. Take some advice from this critic. While everyone is standing in line to see" Return of the Jedi," consider seeing this movie. You won't be dissappointed with what might be the sleeper of the summer. Don't take this critic wrong. You will NOT sleep during this movie. As a matter of fact, you may not sleep for several nights after seeing the film.

Anthony Perkins portrayal of Norman Bates is fantastic. He plays the role in a simple yet extremely deep manner. You are constantly able to feel Bate's emotions, and still stay in tune with the surroundings. This film picks up where the original left off. After 22 years in a mental institution, Bate's is returned to society and to the town in which he was raised. He returns to the familiar house on the top of the hill and tries desperately to resume a normal life. However, others have their own ideas about" where Norman should be." Vera Miles is the vengeful sister. of one of the victims from the original movie. As Lila Loomis, Miles invites you to hate the almost childlike Norman Bates. She shows her determination to

have Bates re-committed from the very start. At times one cannot help but wonder if she is the one that should be committed. Throughout the movie Miles' scenes are packed with emotion and totally unpredictable situations.

Review Meg Tilly and Robert Loggia both turn in admirable supporting roles, but the cinematography is the real show-stopper. Borrowing shots from the first movie and combining them with new ones from impressive angles, the effects are eerie and stunning. At times you feel as if you are falling into the screen. The camera work gives the viewer glimpses of the past from angles unique to the original pro-

duction. Dean Cundey and Albert Whitlock have teamed up in a brilliant job of making the audience feel as if Hitchcock had made this film himself. As murders are committed right and left, the viewer is constantly changing his mind about" Who dunit ". After Bates' doctor confronts Norman with the evidence

that his mother really is dead, it makes it that much harder to try and guess the identity of the killer. To give out any more details of this film would only destroy the suspense and take away from the climactic ending. So if you enjoy a good, suspenseful movie, don't miss Psycho II. And don't forget to tell mother where you're going.

Return of the Jedi, not to be missed

By Mark Nash Atter a three year wait, the third Star Wars movie has arrived. "Return of the Jedi" follows in perfect tradition to its

predecessors. George Lucas once again has his audience spellbound in an action packed adventure racing across the universe. The familiar faces of "Star Wars" and "The Empire Strikes Back" are there. The uniquely crafted aliens still present themselves in a realistic fashion. The special effects have continued to improve. The movie itself is appealing to both the young and the old. And believe it or not, the third episode in this ongoing sequel has a plot of its own. It takes what we all knew from the first two films and then takes off on a new and exciting journey. Something only a Lucas or a Spielberg could do.

Review Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher turn in their usual acceptable performances as Luke Skywalker, Hans Solo, and The Princess Leia. Billy Dee Williams is back for a second round as Landau Calrissien. Of course it really doesn't matter how well this group acts since the special effects, aliens, and droids steal the show. None of the magic has been lost in "Return of the Jedi". It still has you on the edge of your seat, cheering for the good guys and hating Darth Vader and The Empire.

OPENS JUNE 3rd AT A SELECTED THEATRE NEAR YOU

This sequel begins on Luke's home planet in a search for Hans who was captured by Jabba the Hutt at the end of "Empire Strikes Back". As should be expected, all the main characters are reunited in this opening scene, and soon begin their relentless battle against the forces of evil. The Empire has begun building another Death Star to destroy the remainder of the rebel forces, and it is our fearless little group's duty to lead the revolt against this Death Star. What unfolds as Luke uses his abilties as a Jedi Knight to challange Darth Vader and the Emperor, is reason enough to see this film. The expected and unexpected happen as you travel with Luke into the heart of the Death Star, while Hans and Leia are battling it out with Emperial Stormtroopers on the planet below. The speed bike chase scene involving Solo, Leia, Stormtroopers, and a furry little teddy bear-like creature will have your full attention. It is very realistic and exciting. If you must know what happens to Luke inside the Death Star, you will have to stand in line for two hours like the rest of us. To give this away would truly destroy a great movie. So get out your deck of cards or favorite novel and head for that endless line to see "Return of the Jedi"

Coach Bobby, Hunt said that his team "was a little short on pitching" and that they were going to concentrate in that area when they went on the recruiting trail this year. Hunt went on to say that he was very proud of the entire team and that "they all did a good job.Right up to the final out." Hunt lost three players to
