Budget received highest in history By Patricia Uselton Central State has received its highest funding of state appropriations in the university's history, breaking last year's record budget by $3.3 million. Dr. Bill Lillard, president of Central State, attributes this to Central State's presentation of needs to the Regents for Oklahoma Colleges, who in turn made recommendations to the State Board of Regents for Higher Education. "We are fortunate to have a pro-education legislature. The governor, the president protem and the speaker of the house have urged more educational expenditures," he said, noting that

several states are cutting back on school fundings. Oklahoma has a total 1982-83 budget of $479.3 million for the system, a 22 percent increase seen as the largest in the state, and possibly national history. This increase is partially due to Oklahoma's rising economy and its abundant mineral resources. Central State will receive a total of $27,348,509, including state appropriations of $22,590,570 and revolving funds from oncampus sources of $4,757,939. The 1982-83 state appropriations have increased by 25 percent this year, but the students' share of the funding has increased by only
10 percent. Dr. Lillard still sees the university in a favorable position, though. The Higher Regents favor a situation where all students are paying for 25 percent of their education," but in some colleges that figure has dropped below 17 percent. The regents are trying to level out the increase over a three to five year process. They are presently raising some funding levels met by the students and slightly lowering others, but we're still in good shape because we are closer to 25 percent than most colleges." As for Central State's sister colleges under the Regents for Oklahoma Colleges, Northeastern
received $1 6.5 million; Southwestern received $14.1 million; Southeastern, $11.6 million; East Central, $10.4 million; and Northwestern, $5.0 million. "The regents base their fundings on per student/per program figures, on current and projected enrollment as well as campus facilities. We are six times larger than Northwestern, and almost twice as large as Northeastern. But their students are just as important as our own." Budgets for the 1982-83 year will be submitted for approval to the Higher Regents by June 30. The budgets become effective July 1.
Central State University, Edmond, Oklahoma
"We're in urgent need of faculty in the accounting department, the business school and the math and computer science department. We'll also continue to improve the library and to work on maintenance projects." During the last two years Central State has had the highest average faculty salary in Oklahoma. Capital improvement funds will be allocated for major constructions after the legislature convene July 6. Dr. Lillard is considering adding another classroom facility after the completion of the new math and computer science building. But top priority will go the faculty/staff salaries.

Foul weather delays completion of building Thanks to the recent rains, the completion of the math and computer science building south of Howell Hall has been delayed. But that shouldn't discourage students enrolling for fall classes, according to President Bill Lillard. Fall schedules were written with the present classroom situation in mind, therefore the postponement will not effect students currently enrolled. Bill Jenkins, director of the Computer Center, doesn't see any complications in transferring to the new building. "There are always problems when moving a system, but it won't be a real problem. If the building is completed on the first of September we plan to move October 16, 17, 18 and 19. If not it just depends on when it is completed." "We didn't plan to use the new building fall semester," said Lillard. "We were hoping that it would be partially completed by the 30th of September. However, with the rains we've probably lost a week to ten days." Dr. David Hart, dean of the School of Math and Sciences was not as optimistic. "We were thinking of moving in gradually, possibly by next spring. Now it all depends on the weather and on delays in getting equipment." The one-story building is scheduled to house the math, computer science and statistics department, headed by Dr. Donald Boyce. It will also contain the Data Processing center, directed by Bill Jenkins and presently located in Evans Hall. The facility is estimated at $900,000, and will be smaller than the original estimate of 20,000 square feet. "It's not as big as we had hoped," said Dr. Hart. "The contractors will complete most of the classrooms and one block of offices. Then our own maintenance department will finish the other block of offices and the final four classrooms. Certainly the building will be near completion by next summer, so that we can gradually move in as it is completed." The old mathematics building is intended as an annex of the overcrowded business facility, while no definate plans have been made for the unused portion of Evans Hall.

Progress in building the new mathematics and sciences building was sluggish this past month due to unusually high amounts of rain received in Oklahoma. Original date of completion was September 30, but, because of the rain, completion is now expected during the second week of October, according to Dr. Lillard, president. The one-story building will house math, statistic and computer science courses, faculty and staff, as well as data processing which is now located in Evans Hall.

Unsociable habit rejected by many By Sharon L. Christenberry To smoke or not to smoke is the question plaguing some individuals. Others have resolved the questions permanently one way or the other. Many remain unsure. Considerations to be evaluated concerning smoking include effects on smokers and their children, effects on non-smokers, and effects on society and the U.S. economy. The general trend appears to be toward making the decision not to smoke. In 1981, 37 percent of the U.S. men and 29 percent of the U.S. women were smokers. These statistics compare to 53 percent of the men in 1955 and 33 percent of the women in 1966 who smoked. Also, the incidence of smoking among teenagers is down 25 percent since 1964. Environmental cigarette smoke effects on the healthy non-smoker are still uncertain. A 1980 report in the "New England Journal of Medicine" stated non-smokers who shared air with smokers had diminished pulmonary function. A recent American Cancer Society study indicated that there is a relationship between the incidence of exposure to "sidestream," or second-hand smoke, and lung cancer, but it was not statistically significant. The contributions made by the tobacco industry toward the U.S. economy cannot be denied. Tobacco is the sixth largest U.S. cash crop. According to the Tobacco Institute the United States is the leading exporter of tobacco and the largest importer. This results in a positive net contribution of more than $1.9 billion per year to the U.S. international balance of payments. In 1981, excise taxes on cigarette sales brought states nearly $4 billion in revenue. The choice to smoke, though, is an individual one, and people must evaluate their own priorities when making this decision. The failure of prohibition to reduce alcohol consumption taught the United States that excessively restrictive laws are ineffective. In response to a question concerning current public smoking laws, the Tobacco Institute pointed out that some police officers feel their time is better spent in making neighborhoods safe rather than enforcing such laws. However, smokers appear to be quite willing to limit their smoking in public places. It apparently took legal action to make private establishments aware of the need for separate non-smoking areas. Statistics indicate that warnings concerning reduced life expectancies and effects on unborn children and infants have been effective incentives to reduce the precentage of the population of smokers. Parents realize their nonsmoking behavior is a positive influence on their children. Company managers are considering establishing smoking lounges to replace allowing on-the-job smoking. As the glamour and sophistication of smoking is diminished and the trend continues toward making smoking less socially desirable, more and more will decide not to.

Food fees take bite out of income By Twyla Cowan Beginning next fall, residents of East, West, Thatcher and Murdaugh Halls will experience a 15 percent increase in dorm fees. Students living in East and West Halls paid $150.55 per month this past year and residents of Thatcher and Murdaugh Hall paid $131.55 each month. All halls required $195 contract payments. With this 15 percent jump, students will have to pay approximately $20 more each month. Cost of living is the excuse for the rise in fees. Because the payments are for room and board, each student would have to eat every meal in order to get his money's worth. Often students don't use the cafeterias to their full advantage. Because of class schedules, work and unexpected emergencies, students miss meals that they are paying for. CSU has devised a new plan for next year. Students will get the choice of a 15 meal plan of a 20 meal plan. The 15 meal plan will not include weekend meals.
For East and West Hall, the 20-meal plan would cost $170.90 per month and the 15-meal plan would be $163.40 each month. Thatcher and Murdaugh Hall payments for the 20-meal plan are $149.30 and the 15-meal plan will cost $141.80. Each hall will require a $200 contract fee. Although this idea is good for those who go home every weekend, the plan doesn't stop the initial problem. Students have to pay for meals at the dorm and if they don't make it back in time for dinner they have to go out and pay for another meal. Many universities run their cafeterias on a plan that costs the students only for the meals they eat. This plan saves the students from paying for food they don't eat and also might stop them from taking food they really don't want, but take to fulfill their unit count in order to make themselves feel they are getting their money's worth. Each year students become more
Campus residents out-numbered by apartment seeking commuters By Crystal Carpenter The commuters are coming, out numbering campus residents. An inflation raged economy may have caused the rash of apartment rent increases, but in all probability, demand is the cause. A majority of Central State students are commuters. And a large number of the commuters are apartment dwellers. This would seem to make over-all housing a university concern. But there's nothing the president of the university or anyone else can do -- except boycott. And that's impractical. Most lease agreements set the rent amount for the duration of the lease. But when the lease has to be renewed -look out. In one apartment complex, located less than one mile from campus, the cost of a townhouse jumped from $429 to $479 a month. That is not a gradual increase. Few students have
conscious of their money supply. With the cost of tuition and school time replacing work time, spending unnecessary money becomes a problem. If CSU could start a program where students paid only for what they ate both the students and the school would profit. This might even create better relations between the students and the institution.

Highschoolers knowledge tested in college contest A special scholarship competition among students from more than 20 central Oklahoma area highschools will be aired by KTOK Radio from CSU's campus this summer. "Project Bright Light" is sponsored jointly by the radio station and university and was announced by KTOK General Manager Ken Gaines and CSU President Bill Lillard. Top senior students, selected by principals, at 21 area highschools will compete for a top prize of a full year's scholarship, tuition, fees, room, board and books at CSU, Lillard said. He pointed out the nearly $2,000 prize is being made possible by the CSU Foundation, Inc., a non-profit, private foundation established apart from the university to raise funds for CSU's benefit. Gaines explained that students
for this year's competition have already been selected for the program, which will be aired on KTOK at 7 p.m. July 9. KTOK radio personality Ed Sossen will be host and moderator for the program, which will be broadcast live from the CSU Liberal Arts Auditorium. Sossen said the program will follow a college bowl format. Students will be asked questions prepared by the CSU political science department and faculty from the department will serve as judges to determine validity of each answer. Some 400 to 600 questions will be prepared in advance, he added. Students must miss at least two questions before being eliminated from the contest. Questions will cover current events from the state, national and international scene, ranging from politics to economics, the arts, culture and
social interests pertinent in today's society. Second prize for the contest will be a one-year tuition waiver scholarship with books. Third prize will be a tuition waiver scholarship for one year and fourth prize will be for a onesemester tuition waiver at CSU, Lillard explained. "We hope to generate sufficient interest and to provide a service to the community that merits continuing the program in succeeding years with expanded participation at the highschool level," Gaines added, indicating future programs could be originated in the local school during preliminary selection phases. This is a trial run to determine how well the needs and interests of our students and our educational system may be served through such programming," Gaines concluded.
Students in agreement on cheating issue, not in agreement on cheating amount By Charles Gaylor Just how common is cheating on the CSU campus? Shortly before spring break, the Nursing Department discovered that some of its students had been faking an assignment required of them. This discovery led to the suspension of three students from the program and the disciplining of six others. And, according to Dr. Barbara Henthorn, nursing department chairwoman, evidence of this type of cheating having occurred before, was unnoticed.
CSU students agree cheating does occur here, though there is some disagreement on the amount of it. Nicolas Udamaga, junior journalism student, said he feels that there is little cheating on campus. "No, I don't believe that there is much cheating here," said Udamaga. "But, if there is, it may be because of the pressures of having to have good grades." Another CSU student, who refused to be identified, says that cheating is probably more common than many realize and he himself has cheated before. "I feel that the system is to blame. There is too much peer pressure from family, and the teachers as well, to get good grades," he said. "It's just impossible to study for three tests that are to be given on the same day, so of course people cheat. It's a method of survival." But, what do the instructors feel about it? "I'm sure that there is cheating here on campus, but we have instructors who have different techniques that makes it almost impossible to cheat," said Dr. Virginia Lamb, home economics chairwoman. She said that many of her instructors use two forms for a test making it harder for students to copy off the person next to them. "No, we don't seem to have a large problem with cheating here because of the techniques we use in testing," said Lamb, "and I'd
just like to add that we try to stress to the students that when they cheat they cheat only themselves." However, she said that she did not know why it is some feel they have to cheat. "It's the easy way out? I don't really know why," she said. Other instructors contacted echoed Lamb's thoughts some adding that perhaps grade inflation might be one reason for cheating. School administration officials feel that while there may be cheating at CSU it is not a major problem. And, at the school's counseling center, Darrell Gilliland said that few, if any students come and talk about feeling guilty about cheating. "I think that it (cheating) has probably become a way of life with them (students who cheat) and so they don't feel bad about it," said Gilliland. Dr. Odus Rice, assistant vice president of academic affairs, said that his office was usually unaware of cheating problems on campus unless someone brings it to his attention.
"I feel that the system is to blame. There is too much peer pressure from family, and the teachers as well, to get good grades," commented one student. "It's just impossible to study for three tests that are to be given to the same day, so of course people cheat. It's a method of survival." "Unless it is called to our attention by one of the deans or a student complains to us about some gross violation, we are really to far removed from the classroom to be aware of what cheating that might be going on," he said. "But, as for as I know, there is no great problem here with cheating." Noting that she hasn't taught any classes in some years, Dr. Lucille Patton, dean of the school of special arts and sciences, said that in her department, there is not a great problem with cheating.
"I have had instructors who have caught students cheating and who have then dismissed them from those classes, but that hasn't happened very often that I'm aware of," Patton said. "Our campus is typical of other campuses," she added, "the most common complaint is with the papers that are turned in." Dr. Patton was referring to the use of pre-written term and research papers by students. "Many instructors have begun keeping copies of papers turned into them so that if they have any doubts as to the validity of one they might get later, they can check to be sure if it is an original paper or not," she said. "But, most of the instructors I know deal with the problem in a forceful way," she said in reference to the recent study forgings at the nursing school. The suspension of students as the first course of action is not what Dr. Bill Fisher, dean of the graduate school, thinks should be do.,e. "I feel that the professor should sit down and talk with the student first. Find out what the circumstances around the infraction are and give that student a chance to take the test again and show what he has learned," Fisher said. "Perhaps the grade should be lowered or changed to reflect the students true knowledge of the subject," he said, adding, "the grade ought to reflect the actually amount of learning." Fisher added that there are limits to this re-evaluation of students, noting that if it continues to be a problem with a particular student, then maybe that student should be dealt with more severely, which might include dismissal from a class. And, while punishment ideas tend to differ, all agree that it is up to the instructor to take care of the problem in the classroom, thus showing the remainder of the students that while some may feel that cheating is the way to get by, that it will not be tolerated by the instructors or other students.

International students need permit to work `
Editor's note: In the April 13 issue of the spring semester the Vista ran part one of a two-part article on types of authorized employment which do not require prior approval by the Immigration Service. This is the final article of that two-part series.
such as unanticipated medical expenses or tuition increases or a significant decrease in income attributable to a devauation of cur-. rency in the home country, or change in the employment situation of the supporting member. A' student applying for permission to engage in employment due to an economic necessity may begin work only after such permission has been granted by the Immigration Service.
Many students present in the U.S. on nonimmigrant student visas find it necessary or desireable to accept employment to help them meet their school and living expenses.

Although detailed documentation of the student's economic situation is usually required, a recent study by Congress indicated that the vast majority of applications to accept employment based upon a economic necessity were ultimately approved by the Service. If the application is approved, off campus employment will be limited to no more than 20 hours per week while school is in session. The student with work
authorization may, however accept full time employment when school is not in session. Further, the authorized employment becomes unauthorized if it interferes with the student's pursuit of a full course of study. It is extremely important for international students to understand the requirements for employment authorization, since unauthorized employment is the most serious

Students studying in this country of F-2 visas are not permitted to engage in employment under any circumstances.

Young people planning to work this summer for the first time need to take one step now to get a job. Students need to apply for a Social Security number. It takes time to get a Social Security number and it sometimes takes longer to land a job in today's market. Many employers will not hire a person without a Social Security number. Tighter security both in applications for the number and in its use for employment has developed in recent years. Employers usually insist that a card be shown rather than a Social Security number be given from memory. The Social Security number is the key to the earnings records maintained on a worker at the Social Security Administration. Eligibility for and amount of retirement, survivors and disability benefits are based on the earning credited to a person's Social Security record. A wrong number could seriously effect the accuracy of these records.

be established by the State Regents. The purpose of the program is to provide assistance to students with demonstrated financial need and to promote excellence of scholarship throughout all the academic and professional fields of study in the State System. In 1976 the State Regents doubled the amount available for the program each year and provided for the current system of distribution of the scholarships. In 1977, the State Regents stipulated that the recipients of the awards must be Oklahoma residents. Effective with the 1982-83 school year, State System institutions are authorized to waive fees in an amount up to 1.5 percent of their previous year's E&G budget, thus making available some $5.8 million in scholarship funds for the year.

People must provide documentary evidence of age, identity and U.S. citizenship or lawful immigration status to get a Social Security number for the first time. People 18 or over must apply for the number in person. The best proof of age and U.S. Citizenship is a birth certificate or church record that shows the date and place of birth. Other documents that can be used to prove age and U.S. citizenship in-
elude certification of naturalization and U.S. passports. Those born outside the U.S. and who are not a U.S. citizen are required to present evidence of lawful immigration status. Documents issued by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service can be used. People who need a duplicate Social Security card to replace a lost one or to show a new name must also provide evidence of identity.
Storm damage tax advice offered by IRS Students who own their own homes or any other Oklahomans who suffered losses from recent storms are being reminded by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that at least a portion of their casualty losses will probably be deductible on their 1982 tax returns, filed January 1 through April 15, 1983. IRS officials said that casualties for tax purposes are defined as the complete or partial destruction or loss of property due to an indentifiable event that is sudden, unexpected or unusual in nature and that is damaging to personal property. Such casualty loss claims do, however, require documentation. The IRS notes that receipts and photographs, expecially of
valuable items, can be extremely helpful in establishing and substantiating the allowable deductions. They recommend that a list of the items damaged or lost be complied while such a loss is still fresh in one's mind. Losses to the home, furniture, automobiles and other property are generally deductible if the losses exceed the actual or expected insurance recovery. IRS Publication 547, Tax Information on Diasaster, Casualities and Thefts, is available free by contacting the IRS. Publication 548, Disaster and Casualty Loss Workbook, is also available to help make a list of damaged belongings and figure the amount of loss.

By Robert B. Nelson Most people feel they know how to get a job but few actually do. Faithfully the job hunter studies the Sunday want ads or consults with search firms who promise him jobs. The seeker becomes discouraged when jobs are hard to find. Usually the job hunter doesn't realize that the actions he takes exclude him from most opportunities by setting obstacles that no employer would ever dream of imposing. Enlightened job hunters start out with very different beliefs about finding a job. This type of job hunter focuses his energy on getting the right kind of job. Knowledge of the job market sets him apart from others who are less aware. Two to four million positions are open in the U.S. at any given time and at least one million posi-

tions open in the worst of times. Eighty percent of all jobs are unadvertised and want ads and search firms are used as a last resort for most employers. The person who knows how to find a job knows that the average American worker will change jobs every three and one half years, change careers up to five times and has only a 20 percent chance of enjoying work. This information gives the modern job hunter a new foundation from which to start. The enlightened job hunter takes this informtion and builds a very different job campaign which not only results in a job but also allows for the job hunter to maintain confidence and self-esteem in the job hunting process. These job hunters are resolved not merely to find a single job but to learn jobhunting skills that will be used over and over again. The first step in the effective job hunt seems simple, but can be quite difficult. It is to find out what job would be ideal. The job hunter should take time to visualize himself in the future and picture himself working in a certain area.
A good decision would stem from much thought on how the working environment and activities would agree with the individual's personality. The second step is the development of a resume, a traditional document which describes abilities and past experiences. How a person presents himself in a resume can be vital. The person has to be concise and selective because the average resume receives only 5-7 seconds of viewing. A person must be discriminating in choosing the items that most relate to the position for which he is applying. A selective approach helps to hold the employer's attention and leaves him or her with a few unanswered questions. It serves to motivate the employer to want to see more of the person and make them extend an invitation for an interview. Obtaining an interview is the sole purpose of the resume and no one is usually ever hired strictly based on how they look on paper. The standard resume, which is one to two pages in length, can be creative but must, at the same
time, contain the basics of an objective, the summary of experience, a record of education and other related activities. The objective section of the resume is 1-2 sentences that states precisely what the person wants to do. It serves to give anyone reading the resume a general framework of the person's interest. Experience is probably the most important information on the resume for the potential employer. This category states what the job seeker is presently doing and what jobs he has held in the past. Job responsibilities should be described from as many business angles as possible, such as responsibilities held, promotions, and specific parts held in the whole work process. Using numbers, percentages and time periods helps to quantify and qualify past experiences. Professional organizations, committees, volunteer activities and special projects which relate to the position being sought, should all be included in the "other related activities" section of the resume.

Rainy weather furnishes home for pesty mosquitos Recent rainy weather is providing mosqitoes with a haven for breeding and Oklahoma City County Health Department officials suggest fighting infestation by getting rid of their damp breeding places. Tall, damp grass, weeds and standing water spell a baby boom for the mosqito population. Raymond Weeks, acting director for the agency's Environmental Health Services, said that the first line of defense againt mosquitoes is to keep grass sort, drain puddles and empty any containers filled with stagnant water such as pet dishes, toys, bird baths, old tires and house gutters. Containers should be turned over to prevent its filling up again and pet dishes should be replenished daily to prevent larvae growth.
"Destroying the breeding places is a more effective way of combating mosquitoes than spraying with insecticides," said Weeks. "Because of the rainy weather, all insects are breeding prolifically right now," Weeks said. "We're in for some problems with mosqitoes for the next month or so or a least until things dry out." Insecticide spraying is not a responsibility of the health department. It must be done at the individual's discretion. The 1981 OSU Extension Agent's Handbook suggests tha adult mosquitoes by eliminated with any of the following chemicals: Malathion; Pyrethrins; DDVP or Vapona; or Diazinon. This should be used on screeens, shrubs and around doors and windows.

Safety obstructed by false alarms By Charles Gaylor In early April, fire gutted the TV room at a University of Oklahoma dormitory, forcing the evacuation of nealy 200 male students. No one was hurt in the early morning fire, but students who lived in the dormitory all told of how the alarms failed to awaken them. The most common reason given by the students for the failure of the alarms to awaken them was the repeated false alarms that had occurred there just weeks before the fire. The students also told of how once they were in the hallways, the thick black smoke and lack of lighting in the hallway, made it virtually impossible for them to see. There were no emergency lights in the darkened hallways to guide the students out. Could such a potentionally tragic situation occur here at CSU? How safe are the dormitories on campus? As at OU, there are repeated false alarms in the dorms. There is no emergency lighting to rely on in the event of a power failure. Electrical wiring is one of the first "victims" of many fires and often times is the cause of a fire. In East Hall the fire escape in the core of the building is unmarked by a lighted EXIT sign. Only a stenciled sign on the door itself gives any indication that it is a fire escape. Also, on any day these doors or the ones on the second and third floors can be found open allowing students the ability to move from one wing of the dorm to another. This also allows fire to move up the stairwell. The doors are marked with the message to keep them closed, but the students either do not wish to heed the warning or it
has not made clear to them the reasoning behind keeping the doors closed. There are no sprinkler systems in any of the dorms. Murdaugh Hall, which is mostly wood, could be totally involved in a matter of
problem at CSU but that the number of false alarms had declined last spring though he could not quote the number for the fall and spring semesters. In regards to sprinklers in the dorms, Dunn said that they are presently not required and that they met all of the building specifications_ at the time they were built. "East and West Halls are about as fire proof as possible, but Murdaugh and Thatcher, being older buildings, could burn easier," Dunn said. Dunn went on to say that improvements in the fire alarm system are being made in all buildings at CSU, including the dorms. He said that all the new alarms should be in service this summer and all are hooked to a computer system and when triggered the alarms will not only alert campus security, but they also ring at the Edmond Fire Department headquarters.
"Now the state has adopted the 1981 fire codes and they do have some provisions for upgrading existing buildings, but I'm not sure if that affects CSU buildings," Bretzer said. minutes, commented Jim Dunn, security chief at CSU. Regular fire drills are not held at the dorms. According to Dunn, a fire drill is held once in the fall semester. He also stated that the resident advisors in each dorm go through a orientation each fall and are instructed on the use of various fire extinguishers. "I don't see any real problem" Dunn commented on the fire safety question here, "except with people who pull the fire alarms." He said that false alarms are a
"Having the fire department close-by is a great help too," Dunn said, commenting on the
fact that the fire station is only minutes away. "The fire department has during the past few summers, conducted training sessions in the dorms, when most everyone has pretty much cleared out," Dunn "East and West Halls are about as fire proof as possible, but Murdaugh and Thatcher, being older buildings, could burn easier," Dunn said. said, "so they pretty much know what they're going after should the need ever arise." Major John Bretzer, a fire inspector for the Edmond Fire Department, said that they (Edmond Fire Department) have a pretty good working relationship with the CSU security personnel and school officials. "Central, being a state institution, falls under the jurisdiction of the state fire marshall, so we don't regularly inspect the buildings on campus," he said. "We do from time to time in-
spect the buildings for our own purposes and if we do make some suggestions on how to improve safety in a building, they (CSU officials) are generally pretty good about making the corrections," Bretzer said. "We make these inspections under the '76 guidelines (for fire safety) and the buildings, as far as I know, do meet those requirements," Dunn added. "Now, the state has adopted the 1981 fire codes and they do have some provisions for upgrading existing buildings but I'm not sure if that affects them (CSU)," Bretzer said. Bretzer added that the improvements in the CSU fire alarm system is a positive move for fire safety at the school. "Everything is a change for the better," Bretzer said of the ongoing improvements. Both men were in agreement that fire safety is adequate at CSU and they think that by working together, a hazardous situation such as that at OU can be avoided.
Switchboarders take callers in stride By Michael Ard Where does the Administration hide those wonderful voices that pleasantly answer "Central State."? Do these voices demand the finest equipment and outlandish pay for tolerating some of the abrasive callers they have to contend with? Many people would.

After-hour emergency numbers are listed in the Edmond phone book and campus directory for Campus Security, the four dormitories and the infirmary. These numbers ring without assistance. The "latest" equipment is a vintage 1965 Southwestern Bell switchboard. It was new in 1965 when the ladies moved to the basement of Murdaugh Hall. They had occupied part of the old Liberal Arts Building which was razed to make room for the Administration Building.

23rd century as Khan, (Ricardo Montalban) a brilliant genetic super-renegade from the 20th century and TV series, plans to kill Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and destroy his beloved "Enterprise." Khan gains control of the Federation Starship "Reliant" and steals a top secret device "Project Genesis" from Space Laboratory Regula one. He then set a trap for the "Enterprise." The movie is filled with many surprises that had even me fooled! Nicholas Meyer, director, and Jack B. Sowards, screenplay writer, found the true form of the TV series and amplified it tenfold. The movie is far better than the first Star Trek Movie. It has action the first lacked and a more belevable conflict, man against man. The old bridge crew is back with a new support crew and the "Enterprise" is the same from the first movie, but the uniforms have been changed again. An added bonus to the movie is the detailed interior of the "Enterprise." The fast paced dog-fighting of the starships and the 'Star Trek' interactions of the crew will place it in the top positions for the summer season.
The switchboard has 29 incoming lines, and it's not uncommon to see all 29 lit up at once, agreed the operators. The most difficult time to work is the day of a snow storm. The lines stay lit up most of the day. Many people won't take yes or no for an answer, they want to discuss why or why not they feel classes should be dismissed, the operators said. The best advice from the voice of CSU is to listen to the radio reports for closing schools. Chances are the caller will hear it there before one out of the 29 available lines becomes open. Another time the switchboard lights up is when KCSC, the campus radio station, announces a giveaway or asks for listener comments. These times make the job more challenging, but the caller jokes come more frequently. It's almost necessary for an operator to become an authority on campus events. Many callers don't know what extension they want. The operators have to be alert to all current events on campus and know who is sponsoring the event so they can connect them to the right extension. The operators cannot always come up with the right extenson. One person called and wanted to talk to their boss, he was having lunch on campus. A more humorous call was a woman who explained how her mother just wasn't doing any better and she was coming in to commit her. The woman had wanted Central State Griffin Memorial Hospital, a Mental Health center in Norman. The operators, no matter how cruel the caller, could laugh when each story was brought up. When calling Central State, operators offered these suggestions: Listen to the radio instead of calling during foul weather. Know the extension number you want to reach. Don't ask to make unauthorized long distance calls. Realize that the switchboard is not set up to hold until the line clears. Realize that the operators don't have every name on campus memorized although they're trying!

Six Lady Bronchos chosen Four of the state's best junior college players and two Oklahoma high school All-Staters have made committments to play basketball for CSU's women's basketball team next season. Coach John Keely, who took the Lady Bronchos from a 2-25 year in 1980-81 to 25-10 and the quarterfinals of the A1AW Division II national tournament in 1981-82, has attracted Carrie Tucker, Jackie Eckels and Kim Kramer, Northern Oklahoma College (NOC); Alette Johnson, Western Oklahoma State College;
Leigh LeGrande, Luther High School and Karen Baker, Okeene High School. The signing of the three former NOC players marks the second straight year Keely has brought in a trio of the school's best players. NOC has been one of the top junior college teams in recent years. "We're very proud to have attracted all six of these young women," said Keely. "All of them are super players. I'm sure each one can and will make major
contributions to our program during their careers here." Tucker, a 5'9" former high school All-Stater from Fairfax, leads the group of players. At Northern this past season, she averaged 20.2 points a game hitting 45.2 percent of her field goal shots and 66.7 percent from the free throw line. She was AllConference, All-Region 2 and most valuable player in the Tournament of Champions. She missed this past season's state junior college tournament with an ankle injury.

Journalism grads find jobs Journalism graduates of the past year or those with just the summer to go might be interested to know that according to National Employment figures released from a Newspaper Fund, Gallup survey more than half of the 16,600 journalism and communications graduates in 1981 found jobs in the media. Daily newspapers led in the hiring of journalism graduates, taking 11 percent of the class. Public relations and advertising followed with 10.8 percent and 10.7 percent respectively. Television stations hired 10.0 percent of the class and radio stations attracted 4.3 percent. Weekly newspapers took 4.9 percent and commercial magazines 2.9 percent.
Almost a quarter of the class, 24.2 percent, were drawn into non-media fields of sales, management and clerical work, reflecting a continuing trend of journalism graduates who choose non-media occupations. Salaries for the graduates last year ran about $20 higher than the year before. Public relations offered the highest weekly salaries of approximately $240. Advertising work paid about $225 per week. The graduates who were hired by daily newspapers started with a median salary of $222 a week. Students who prepared in a specific college major were more likely to find jobs in that field after graduation. More than 80
percent of the graduates who majored in broadcast news or production found jobs on radio and television stations, and slightly more than 70 percent of the public relations majors took jobs in their field. Two-thirds of those who landed jobs on daily or weekly newspapers specialized in newseditorial studies, and an additional 15 percent of the news majors chose public relations jobs to start their careers. A little more than half of the advertising majors took advertising agency jobs. News-editorial, public relations and advertising majors had the highest rate of employment due to the students' ability to secure related media work if none was available in their specific field.
tional Junior College All-Star team, was one of the most highly sought after high school players in Oklahoma her senior year when she had led the state in scoring with more than 42 points per game. Eckels, a 6 foot former AllStater from Alva, was second in scoring at NOC behind Tucker. Eckels averaged 15.8 points per game, 55 percent from the field and 73.1 percent from the line. A two-year starter at Northern, Eckels was All-Conference, AllRegion and a member of the State Junior College All-Tournament team. Kramer, 5'11" graduate of Balko High School, averaged 10.2 points per game for Northern this past year. She hit 52 percent of her field goals and 76 percent of her free throws.

Futurists explore
Information Age
Thousands of business leaders, congressmen, futurists, scholars, and other decision-makers will converge on Washington this summer to wrestle with the implications of the most important technological innovations of this century. "Communications and the Future" is the theme of the Fourth General Assembly of the World Future Society, to be held July 18-22, at the Sheraton Washington Hotel. The conference will cover the spectrum of the communications field, including the future of telecommunications, computers, broadcasting, films, newspapers, libraries, magazines and advertising. It will explore how the revolution in communications will affect a wide variety of other areas, such as business, government, human values, economics, education and environmental issues. Speakers will range from comprehensive designer Buckminster Fuller, Tennessee Congressman Albert Gore, management analyst John Diebold to Russell Peterson, president of the National Audubon Society. Unlike most communications meetings, which tend to be limited to one or two media and look only at new technologies now emerging, "Communications and the Future" will look at possible future developments in the whole spectrum of media from newspapers and television to personal computers and ordinary conversation. The conference will also be unique in the special attention it will devote to how
nout equal to the World Future Society's last major conference in Toronto in 1980. The Toronto conference, the largest gathering of futurists ever, attracted over 5,400 participants and international press coverage in exploring the theme "Through the '80s: Thinking Globally, Acting Locally." The Would Future Society, a 30,000-member association based in Washington, D.C., publishes "The Futurist," a bimonthly
developments in communications may affect other areas of life.
The Assembly will feature exhibits of the latest developments in communications technology. Assembly participants will also use many innovations in the program itself. For instance, the Consensor, an effective polling system, will allow participants to register their opinions while the meeting is in progress and know the results instantaneously. Conference planners expect the Assembly to be an event of international significance, with a tur-
