"Central State University has historically been a leader in

Oklahoma," said Elsner, "both in the numbers and in the quality of teachers the school graduates.

CSU is always the leader in newlyhired teachers in the central Oklahoma school districts, particularly in the Putnam City and Midwest City districts."

Elsner, who is 52, earned his B.S. from Oklahoma Baptist University in 1957, his Ed.M. from the University of Oklahoma in 1962, and his Ed.D from the University of Oklahoma in 1969.

He served for 12 years as Superintendent of Schools for the Cromwell Public Schools, for two years as Director of Title III, ESEA for the state Department of Education, and for two years as assistant superintendent of Edmond Public Schools.

Former WKY director joins KCSU•2

By Becky Weigand Student Writer Central State University's own television station, KCSU-2, is starting the summer term with a new managing editor and a new show titled "Edmond Reports."

Keith Swezey has been holding the new position with the staff of KCSU-2 for two weeks, according to Patricia Lee, production supervisor of the TV station.

Swezey has been a news reporter for the past ten years and has covered "everything from

general assignments to being a state capital reporter." He also worked as news director for WKY for the last five years.

A graduate of CSU, Swezey is also working on his master's degree here. He said his future goal is to teach broadcast journalism at the college level.

"We're trying to do something that you won't see on a commercial station--take a significant portion of the show and devote that to one topic," said Swezey.

A new segment titled "Monitor" is included in "Edmond Reports." In this segment, Swezey said "we take one issue that's a major news issue of the

Another show titled "On Call" begins June 9. It will be a patientoriented health information show.

By Valli Covert Student Writer Finding a place to park on campus this summer should not be a problem, according to Central State University Campus Police.

The parking lots are about half full during the summer semester, said campus police spokesperson Lieutenant Doris Dunn.

"Commuters may park in any commuter lot this summer only," Dunn added.

All parking areas on campus are restricted to a particular decal, except for metered parking, and are enforced by officers Monday through Friday. Blue curb 24 hour reserved parking places in staff lots are enforced 24 hours a day. Other lots are being enforced from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m.

"Students need to read the parking rules and regulations and that will keep them from getting tickets," Dunn said, "If students have any questions, campus police are here 24 hours a day to answer those questions."

Recreation facilities open

By Larry Floyd

Student Writer The department of health, physical education and recreation will open its recreational facilities from June 6 through July 13 at Broncho Fieldhouse for students, faculty, staff and their families, according to Marie Warner, HPE&R department secretary.

The facilities will be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30-9:30 p.m. for swimming, basketball, volleyball, ping-pong, weight lifting and other activities.

Weight lifting and open recreation will be available Monday-Friday

from 2-5 p.m. Swimming will be offered Monday-Friday from 2-5 p.m., with lap swimmming only from 4-5 p.m.

A lifeguard will be on duty, but children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a parent.

Identification cards will be required.

"We hope that the students, faculty and staff will take advantage of the facilites in the hours they are available. The more participation we get, the more likely we will be able to continue the program," Warner said.

Viewpoints Jobs are available

Unemployed should be less choosy

By Scott Wheeler Student Writer Finding a job may very well be the single most important task that an individual must face. It's not just finding a job, but, it's finding a job that you like.

Pride tends to be a primary determining factor in finding "the" job.

Commentary Recently men, women, and even families are seen on street corners holding signs that read "Work for Food."

Sometimes when these "desperate" people were offered jobs, they declined. An exemaple of this was seen several months

ago when a television station offered $20.00 to one of these men on the corner to shovel snow off of a walkway at the station. The man replied, "It's not my line of work." This behavior is an outrage. There are jobs available for these people if they would get off their pedestals and work at a fast food restaurant or one of several of the less prestigious positions that are available everywhere.

If people desperately seeking work would try a little harder and learn not to be so picky, they could find work and survive.

With the decline in the oil industry lots of people were unemployed. These people were successful in the petroleum

business and then were reduced to working two part-time jobs just to try and make ends meet. This along with a sudden drop in their

financial security caused a drop in society morale.

With millions of illegal aliens filing for amnesty, there are lots

of people looking for work wherever they can get it. If these opening are not taken advantage of, they will dwindle.

WORLD PEACE ?

More change machines necessary for students To the Editor: I feel that a petition should be circulated to gain the installation of a bill-changer machine next to the vending machines which are just outside of the Vista office.

Such a changer would not only make it easier for the students to buy pop, but it would also increase revenues from the overcharge mechanisms in the machines. I have only used these machines twice and have already been over-charged for 15 cents

OR WORLD DECEPTION ?

Oklahoma man must accept consequences

By Monica Kremeier Editor Twenty-one year old William Wayne Thompson has become somewhat of an Oklahoma celebrity. He receives letters from concerned people in Sweden, France, Argentina, Italy, Canada and other countries. Amnesty International has become his advocate. The Oklahoman has received more than 1,800 letters supporting his cause since January. He has been a guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show, and has also been featured in a West German magazine.

What has this young man done to receive attention and fanfare?

In 1983 he, along with three other men, killed his brother-inlaw Charles Keene when he was fifteen years old. He was sentenced to die by lethal drug injection in 1984, and currently awaits his execution at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester.

The United States Supreme Court is using Thompson's appeal to decide whether states have the right to execute murderers who were children when they were convicted, and will soon announce Thompson's fate.

His supporters basically feel that death is too strong a punishment for someone who commits murder at a young age.

Thompson has been quoted as saying he regrets his actions, so maybe we should just forget that the whole thing ever happened.

The family and friends of Charles Keene, however, probably would not be able to do that.

Keene was not just murdered, he was sadistically tortured. He was shot once in the head and once in the abdomen. His throat, chest and abdomen were slashed.

One of his legs was broken, and then his body was chained to a concrete block and thrown into the Washita River.

One would hope that Thompson regrets his actions.

Yet, would society be safe with people who have displayed this type of behavior living and working among the masses? What kind of guarantee do the citizens of Chickasha, Thompson's hometown, have that he will not react this way again?

He was fifteen years old when he helped to kill Keene. He must have known that if you shoot, stab, and break people's limbs, etc. that they will more than likely die. His was not a crime of passion, or done in the heat of the moment. He had time to think about his consequences.

Now he will have to live with it...or die with it.

Athletes of 'America's favorite pastime' earn their pay

By Alex Eby Student Writer Summer has arrived, and with it comes America's most cherished institution, baseball. When the days get longer and the air turns warm, thousands of people participate in "America's favorite pastime."

Opinion And why shouldn't they?

Baseball is like no other sport on earth. To someone who enjoys the fast paced action of football and basketball, it may seem as if baseball is boring.

But, to people who have the intelligence to learn the finer points of the game, baseball is both a relaxing sport and a test of the mind,or it can also be a very fastpaced and action-filled sport,

which can be enjoyed both as a spectator and a participant.

One complaint that baseball receives is the slow, sometimes dragging pace at which it is played. There is no time clock to signal the end of innings or when the game is over.

This is one of the major reasons baseball has endured unchanged over the years. In today's world everything is measured by a clock.

All of these pressures are totally ignored in baseball. The only pressures placed on a player are the pressures of testing a skill, and those he imposes on himself.

Another frequent complaint about baseball is the amount of money baseball players earn.

One reason why players are paid such enormous sums is due to the amount of skill required to play the game on a professional level. Players spend years

developing these skills. People who possess them and can use them effectively day after day are hard to find.

One should also look at the revenues that are generated by professional baseball. Millions of dollars are made through ticket sales, concessions and merchandising.

How can people be upset with the salaries of professional baseball players? Baseball players work everyday of the summer, except for one, and then post-season play begins.

Of the four major sports, football, basketball, hockey and baseball, baseball requires the greater number of combined skills.

Football requires speed and strength as it's main skills.

Baseball requires the same two

skills. Speed for running the bases and strength when throwing or hitting a baseball.

Basketball's main skills are speed, jumping ability, good hand and eye coordination, and stamina. Baseball requires these skills as well. Jumping ability, when trying to field a groundball or fly that is just out of reach, and probably the most difficult to master, hand and eye coordination.

These skills are necessary for hockey, but hockey has two drawbacks. One, it uses a clock to govern the length of a game, and two, it is by far the most violent of the four games.

These athletes are worth the money they are paid, and the game itself is definitely worthy of the title, "America's Favorite Pastime."

Nursing department celebrates 20 years The nursing department at Central State University celebrated its 20th anniversay at the close of spring semester.

The celebration included a buffet lunch and program. All CSU nursing alumni were invited to the University Center Ballroom, where presentations were made. A spring accessory fashion show was also held.

An alumnus gave a brief history of the 20 years of the program and graduating seniors were honored.

The first chairman of the department, Elizabeth Wiebe, attended and was recognized for her contributions to the department.

Nursing alumni also honored Louisa Arnold, assistant professor of nursing, for her contributions during her 19 years with the program. Arnold retired at the end of the semester.

Graduates from each of the 20 years of the program were in attendance.

New choir invited to New York

By Martha Giglio

Associate Editor A new performing ensemble is being formed by Dr. Lon Dehnert, director of choral activities, at Central State University. The highlight of its first year will be a performance at Carnegie Hall next Memorial Day weekend.

The University/Symphonic Choir will function as a community choir, and credit will be available for those who would like it.

"This choir is for Edmond," said Dehnert. "I think there is talent here. The purpose is twofold. First, we want to bolster the quality of music in the community. Second, it will be an opportunity for those in the community to share their talents other than in a church choir.

Dehnert said his goal is to create a board of directors to care for the day to day business.

"I'm looking for good, quality people, but not the same demanded for the Canterbury Choir,"

said Dehnert. "If a person loves singing and making music, and he has a moderately good voice, that's all I require. Love of music is the most important quality."

According to Dehnert, the ensemble will emphasize major works from all periods, with and without orchestra accompaniment. It will perform in Mitchell Hall Theater.

"I hope we'll be an ensemble well supported by the community," said Dehnert. "We're getting a wonderful, marvelous response so far from church choirs."

Dehnert wants to start rehearsals September 6. Regular rehearsals will be from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Tuesdays at CSU in the Music Building, room 135.

The first concert will be in midNovember, and Dehnert plans to cap the first year with a trip to New York City on Memorial Day Weekend. He has been personally invited to form a choir and perform at Carnegie Hall with the Manhattan Philharmonic Or-

chestra and New York soloists.

Both the CSU Concert Choral and the University/Symphonic Choirs will perform.

"I need about 180 singers for the New York concert," he said.

"It will be a neat opportunity. We believe it will be the first Oklahoma choir to ever sing there."

Dehnert will conduct informal auditions at CSU for the ensemble.

Next fall, he plans to audition a quartet or octet from area high schools to take with the choir to New York.

The groups will have time for sight-seeing in New York, and the weekend will be topped off with a cruise around the harbor near the Statue of Liberty, with dinner and a live band.

Cost for the tour is $650 which includes air fare, room and board.

For further information, students can contact Dehnert at ext. 5004 or 5740.

The committee also commended the university itself for the "excellent support" which has been provided to the funeral service department, its faculty and students.

Curl said the executive director of the board, Gordon S. Bigelow, conveyed his thanks to him.

GETEACH THE FANTASTIC DIFFERENCE SALON INDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND OPERATED

Student Writer Commuter students at Central State University question the benefits of student activity fees.

Many who commute believe they should not have to pay as much in student activity fees as students who live on campus.

Others believe activity fees should be eliminated.

An informal study during the spring semester has revealed that commuter students do not use most of the facilities on campus and do not have time to attend extracurricular activities. They say their money is wasted on things such as athletics, and that it should be put to more realistic uses.

"Extracurricular activites are an essential part of the operation of a university and if students choose not to attend the activities, we can't force them to."

Diana Best, an employee in the business office, said CSU students pay $3 per credit hour for student activity fees.

These fees include a general fee, activity fee, a student facility fee and a fee for use of the student union.

Dr. Dudley Ryan, dean of student affairs, said while commuter students have valid reasons for objecting to the amount of student activity fees they pay, college administrators cannot be blamed if students do not participate in extracurricular activities.

"Extracurricular activities are an essential part of the operation of a university, and if students choose not to attend the activities we can't force them to," Ryan said.

"There are students who live on campus who also do not attend campus activities. They can also argue that they shouldn't pay as much in student activity fees,"

Ryan said.

Veronica Blakely, a freshman who lives in north Oklahoma City, said she already spends enough money to attend CSU, and activity fees are just an additional financial burden.

"If they use the money in such a way that students can actually see where it is going, then I won't mind paying, but I hardly use campus facilities. I just don't have the time," she said. "I wish they would use the money to help people from lower-income families to help pay tuition."

Mary Sullivan, a biology major from Bethany, wants to see more student activity fees spent on scholarships.

"The classroom, parking and the library are the only things I use on campus, and this university makes enough money already from parking violations alone, so I don't think activity fees should be so high," she said.

"If the college would use the money on more scholarships instead of spending so much of it on the athletic department's football team, I wouldn't mind as much," Sullivan said.

Ryan said students have misconceptions about the use of student activity fees in the athletic department.

"The classroom, parking and the library are the only things I use on campus. This university makes enough money from parking violations alone."

"Students don't realize their money is not spent on football alone. It's also spent on training people to become coaches and teaching people life-time professions. Besides, the football team won two games this season and they deserve credit for that. It could be worse," he said.

Godfrey Uwudia, a graduate student from Nigeria, also said he

thinks he is paying too much in student activity fees.

"I guess people will say I don't have the right to complain because I'm an international student, but we break our backs to pay to attend college here and not all of us are sponsored by our government," Uwudia said.

"I don't live on campus but that makes no difference. They charge me for things I don't ever use. I think people who live off campus should pay no more than half the amount of student activity fees we are now paying," Uwudia said.

"I don't live on campus, but that makes no difference. They charge me for things I don't ever use. " One student said while student activity fees are logical in the spring and fall semesters, students who attend school in the summer should not be required to pay any.

"There is no activity on campus during the summer, and it really is unfair for peole to be paying just to drive up here and sit in class for 50 minutes," Al Serradell, an Edmond graduate student said.

Carolyn Quick, a sophomore from Moore, said attending school is expensive, but student activity fees at CSU are lower than at other colleges.

"I have to drive from Moore to Edmond every day, and that takes a lot of gas, but the fees aren't as high as they are at OU where you pay an extra student activity fee if your class has a lab," she said.

The OU student activity health fees include a $40 health fee, $25 facility fee and a lab fee if required.

Ryan said he appreciated the complaints from commuter students and suggested that some day future generations of CSU students may not have to pay student activity fees.

Advance camp trains cadets

By J. Heath Student Writer Nineteen Central State University cadets will be gearing up to attend a strenuous Army Advance Camp in Fort Riley, Kansas, this summer as part of their Reserve Officer Training. The first camp, which began on June 6th, is one five that the cadets will be attending.

According to Captain Walter Chahanovich, instructor of Military Science at CSU, Advance Camp is designed to prepare Ar-

my R.O.T.0 students for a commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army. The program is devided into six phases. The first phase, titled "Trail Blazer" is a leadership reaction course that provides the cadets with the opportunity to demonstrate their leadership abilities through a 16 station timed obstacle course.

Other phases included at the camp are: "Gun Smoke," a marksmenship course designed to train cadets in the use of automatic rifles, machine guns,

and anti-armour weapons; "Kit Carson," a course used to familiarize cadets with individual tactical skills and combat techniques; "Green Thunder," a live military fire demonstration performed by the First Infantry, and "Audie Murphy," a tactical application excercise that provides cadets with practical experience in the offensive defensive operations of an army platoon.

The capstone of the six week camp is titled "Warrior Challenge." Here cadets are

given the opportunity to utilize all their training and tactical skills in a combat environment consisting of patrols, raids, and a fighting road march said Chahanovich.

Cadets David Emigh, Gary Levine, and Tony Everts have also been selected to attend a three week long army airborne school in Fort Benning, Georgia, and Donald Novey will be attending the U.S. Army Ranger School.

Chahanovich said Novey is the first CSU cadet in over a decade to attend this prestigious School.

By Martha Giglio Associate Editor John Kidwell, junior graphic illustration major from Edmond, will provide entertainment this summer with his cartoon strip, "Sid and Nancy."

Kidwell said his characters were developed for a publications art and cartooning class.

"The characters aren't really based on anyone. They're both crabby," said Kidwell.

Although this is Kidwell's first attempt at a strip, he said he has been doodling and drawing since he was old enough to hold a pencil.

The needs of bilingual special education students were addressed in a summer institute this week at Central State University. Five nationally recognized speakers conducted the sessions geared to reading limited English proficient or bilingual students.

Speakers were Dr. Alba Orgiz, from the University of Texas; Dr. Shernaz Garcia from the University of Texas; Dr. Susan Duran, META Associates, in Denver; Dr. Catherine Collier, University of Colorado and Pat Chamberlain, Illinois Bilingual Resource Center.

"This was a joint effort with the Multifunctional Bilingual Resource Center at OSU," said Dr. April Haulman, assistant professor of bilingual education, who presented the speakers. "At the conclusion of the institute the students will be required to write a

three to five page paper about the key concepts presented and also submit a copy of their notes. They will receive a letter grade."

Haulman said that although the institute was open to anyone, it was especially interesting to several groups of people, such as special education teachers and administrators at policy-making levels in their school districts.

"Bilingual special education is a concern that is just beginning to be realized in the field of bilingual education, and there are very few people who really have expertise in both aspects of the situation.

The speakers we have invited are really at the leading edge of theory building and research in what is in both aspects of the situation.

effective," said Haulman.

"A few years ago in the 60s it came to the attention of educators that approximately 40 percent of all children identified as mentally retarded in the state of California were Hispanic," said Haulman.

"The real problem was that there was a language barrier, and they were being labeled. They didn't know the language of the test that they were being assessed with."

Haulman said that there are very few tests that have been developed for identifying handicapped children from different language backgrounds.

"Special educators are typically not trained in bilingual education techniques. There is a move now to train people who combine the best of these two disciplines," said Haulman. For information, contact Haulman at 341-2980, ext. 5139.

Golfers tackle finals

Central State University will go after its first-ever national golf title June 7-10 when the eighthranked Bronchos make their third appearance of the decade in the NAIA National Golf Championships in Montgomery, Alabama.

The 37th annual four-day, 72-hole run began Tuesday at the 6,980-yard, par-72 Wynlakes Golf and Country Club.

CSU finished 10th in the 1983 national tournament and a bestever third in the 1981 meet in its two previous national tournament trips of the 1980s.

"I think if we go and play well we will be a top 10 team," said director/head golf coach John "Skip" Wagnon, "And we certainly have a couple of individuals who could finish way up in the pack."

"It is difficult to go and play for the first time in the national tournament with all the hoopla and everything. But we may be young enough that that will not happen. That is a possibility."

Sophomores Curtis Wangrud, John Shelley, Allan Polhill and

6 wrestlers sign national letters-of-intent with CSU NAIA national runner-up Central State University has signed five wrestlers to national lettersof-intent, topped by the addition of junior college national champion Andy Howington.

Joining head coach David James' Bronchos are Howington, a former state champion from Comanche; Richard Reneau, a transfer from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M; Tony Willis, a four-time state placer at Ardmore; and Lewis Garrison, a state runner-up at Ponca City.

Howington, a probable 150-pounder, was a two-year national qualifier at Ricks Junior College in Rexburg, Idaho and won the national title in 1988. He was a juco regional runner-up as a sophomore.

At Comanche, Howington had a 112-12 career record and was a four-time state placer, topped by a state championship senior season when he went 31-0 and earned All-State acclaim.

Reneau was a state runner-up and All-Stater in 1987 while at Midwest City and earned juco academic All-American honors last season as a freshman at Northeastern when he went 21-7 and won the Iowa Central open.

Reneau is a probable 167-pounder

for the Bronchos.

Willis, who will wrestle at 126 or 134 pounds at CSU, was a three-time regional champ and four-time state placer at Ardmore where he piled up a 104-16 careeer record. Willis was a state runnerup as a freshman, third as a sophomore and junior and won the state title last season as a senior.

Garrison capped a 29-4 senior season by winning the Class 3A state championship at Weatherford, earning honorable mention All-State status in the process. He is a probable 190-pounder.

Frame is another upper weight recruit, as he is a probable 177-pounder for CSU. He was 27-3 as a senior at Ponca City and finished second in the Class 5A state tournament at 178 pounds.

The five signings brought to seven the number of recruits CSU has signed. James early inked Ardmore's Lance Owens and Mike Stovall of Caprock High School in Amrillo, Tex. "We're thrilled that this group of kids has decided to come to Central State," James said.

"They're excellent prospects and should be able to help us, some of them right away."

CSU wins fight over Kansas star Wrestling coach David James made another recruiting coup last week when the sixth-year mentor signed Kansas four-time state champion Todd Drake to a national letter-of-intent.

Drake piled a phenomenal 126-1-1 career record with 79 falls at Andover High School in Andover, Kan., with his lone loss a 5-4 overtime defeat during his sophomore season.

CSU won a recruiting battle with Cal State-Bakersfield, Minnesota and Edinboro for Drake, a projected 134-pounder for the Bronchos.

"We're fortunate to get Todd and he should be a tremendous benefit to our team," said James.

"Anytime you can get a fourtime state champion you've got to feel good. He chose to come to Central State to be on a national championship team and hopefully be a national champion."

"This is nothing but a big plus for our recruiting season and Todd goes along with the other fine prospects we've signed. This is looking to be the best recruiting class I've had and maybe one of the best ever at CSU."

State high school games held at CSU Some of the state's best high school basketball players tangled last week during the Oklahoma Girls All-State Games, June 3-4 at the Broncho Field House.

The 72 girls were divided into four 18-player teams.

A press conference and an All-

State Banquet were also included in All-State Week.

The banquet, which took place in the Student Union Ballroom, inducted five coaches into the Oklahoma High School Girls' Basketball Coaches Association

Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame coaches were Kenneth Sooter from Welch, Jim Hurd, from Convington, St. Louis' J.D. Flowers, Ben Sasser from Piedmont and Raymond West from Ryan.

Tim Adler and freshman Chris Carpenter will participate in the national tourney.

Wangrud, Central State's number one player all season long, is second on the team in scoring average at 76.8. Shelley is the team's low scorer with a 76.2 avereage. Polhill, who logged his best performance of the season for the District Nine meet when he earned co-medalist honors in sparking the Bronchos to the team title and national tournament berth, comes in third on the team with a scoring average of 78.3.

Adler finished fourth in the District Nine tournament. He has a 78.5 scoring average. The Broncho's number five player, Carpenter, owns a 78.0 average.

The young Bronchos qualified

for the national meet by winning the District Nine crown April 26 at the Greens Country Club in Oklahoma City, ending Cameron's six-year reign as district champs.

Thirty-three teams and nearly 200 golfers will take part in the national tourney. Number tworated Huntingdon College, the host team and winners of the last three NAIA golf titles, and topranked Boca Raton, Florida are expected to slug it out for the 1988 championship.

Other contenders are expected to be third-ranked Texas Wesleyan and Number four-rated Guilford, North Carolina, the national runner-up the past two years.

2 runners named scholar-athletes Two members of the Central State University track team have been honored with NAIA Track and Field Scholar-Athlete Awards for 1988.

Steve Heffernan and Mike Hogan, both juniors, received their awards Saturday, May 28 at the Outdoor National Championships which was hosted by Azusa Pacific College in Azusa, California.

Heffernan, a scholar-athlete last year in cross-country, runs the marathon. He is a P.E./Biology

major from Jenks with a 3.96 grade point average.

Hogan, an NAIA Indoor AllAmerican in 1986, runs the 800 -meters and the 400-intermediate hurdles. He is an accounting major with a 3.59 G.P.A. Both Heffernan and Hogan have been on the Dean's and the President's honor roles.

In order to win this honor the recipient must be through his sophomore year with at least a 3.0 G.P.A.

3 Edmond recruits to add CSU basketball support

By Rhonda Shalaby Sports Editor To generate more local interest in Central State University basketball, three former Edmond High School basketball stars have been recruited to play for Central State University next year.

Shan Spain, Scott dela Garza and Tyler Tansel have signed letters-of-intent to play for CSU next year, said head basketball coach Jim Seward.

Shan Spain, 6-6, was an AllStater two years ago with the bulldogs, averaging 20 points per game.

Spain attended St. Gregory's Junior College last year as a freshman. He averaged 12 points per game there.

The fact that Spain "is a sophomore and has a three-year eligibility at Central State is a plus." Seward said.

"Shan is also a very good shooter, has good size and is very efficient."

Scott dela Garza, also an AllStater, averaged 17.1 points per game in high school and is an adept three-point shooter.

He is the son of Edmond high school basketball coach Mike dela Garza and has been around basketball all his life.

Seward said dela Garza was recruited because "he is a very intelligent player. He makes no mistakes on the court and is a very effective shooter."

The freshman star, who also does well academically, plans to major in business. He received a score of 29 on his ACT examinations.

Tyler Tansel, also a freshman, said he signed a national letter-ofintent with C.S.U. because "I see

a lot of potential in the program."

Tansel averaged 18.5 points per game during his three-year high school career.

"Tyler is a versatile player," said coach Seward, "he is capable of playing different positions. He is competitive and very hardworking."

Other recruits are Kelvin McCan from Clinton Community College, who has averages 23.8 points per game and Kipp Hinrichs from Cloud County Community College who averaged 14 points per game.

It was started as a research project

by Dr. Kaye Sears, child development professor, who wrote for a university grant.

Registration fees for the summer semester is $150 per month.

The cost is less if the parents spend more than two hours per week with their kids. Parents must pay $175 each month per regular semester.

"Anyone from the community and staff of the university can sign up for this program," said Sue McCauley. The only requirement is that they work with the child.

"We are not providing a babysitting service," said McCauley, "but a developmental pre-school where the kids have regular preschool training as well as their playing sessions."

"These programs also provide the student teachers with some training opportunity and some hands-on experience while working with the children."
