Future Olympian?— Jeffery Taupman, Edmond, carries the Olympic Torch one kilometer further on its way to the Olympic Games in Los Angeles which are set to begin in July. The Torch runners came through Edmond Monday evening on their way to Oklahoma City where they met with Oklahoma Gov. George Nigh. They moved on to Norman where they spent the night. The Torch run originated in New York City and is making its way across the country in an effort to raise private money to help sponsor the Games. Each runner is required to contribute $3,000 for the privelege of carrying the torch one kilometer.

Lillard says:
'CSU is the flagship of Oklahoma schools' By Matthew Driskill Editor Calling Central State University the "Flagship of Oklahoma universities," CSU President Bill Lillard outlined the economic impact of CSU on Edmond and the greater Oklahpma City area to the Edmond Chamber of Commerce. Lillard was the featured speaker during the Chamber's regular monthly meeting held Wednesday at the University Center on the campus of CSU. Lillard explained to the Chamber that because of the presence of CSU in the Edmond community, "the university contributes about $10 million annually to the estimated total business volume in Edmond." "Of the total business volume in the greater Oklahoma City area, Central State can account for about $33 million of that," Lillard said. Lillard cited figures released in an economic impact study recently completed by Dr. Don Maxwell of the CSU Economics
Department. Lillard told the chamber that although state approproations have been declining in the past two years, "CSU continues to have the highest paid faculty in the state. "We pay our professors more than OU or OSU," Lillard said. "And the reason we can do that is because they start teaching at 7:30 in the morning and finish at 9:30 at night instead of just from eight to eleven in the morning." Lillard also explained the importance of the commuter to CSU and to the community of Edmond. "Commuters are the lifeblood of this university," Lillard said. "We are a successful university because of our commuters." Lillard said the estimation on the amount commuters brought into Edmond businesses "ran around $500,000 annually and that's conservative." According to the report released by the university, CSU also had a major impact on local-area tax

revenues and school-district expenditures, being responsible for $1,508,237 in the Edmond area in tax and license revenue. According to Lillard, the university also has a major impact on the local job market, employing 845 full-time employees. Although CSU may only employ 845 full-time employees, the report indicates that the university is responsible for almost 1,300 full-time jobs in the Edmond area. CSU was also found to be responsible for almost 1,800 full-
timejobs in the Oklahoma City Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA). The Oklahoma City SMSA extends outward including but not limited to; Oklahoma City, Edmond, Moore, Yukon, Midwest City and Del City. This is attributed to the fact that with revenues coming in from the school. Edmond area merchants are able to employ more people. According to the report, CSU is responsible for $21,382,066 of Edmond's total personal income:
Lillard told the chamber's members that "Edmond and Central State are partners in progress...needless to say we are an educational facility, but we are also a business which makes a contribution to the community. "Central State University is one of the few business in Edmond to be opened before statehood," Lillard said. "And you don't have to worry about any cooperate directors moving CSU ...we're here to stay."
Installers cut phone line By Tina Nye and Matthew Driskill Sometimes we think those who act a little strange are "out-of-touch," but that could have applied to the entire campus of Central State Wednesday, as a major telephone line was cut, leaving the entire university unable to contact "the outside world" for several hours. Crews from Centel Corporation were using a trencher to install new phone lines when they sliced through the main cable located near the Administration building. "We had no idea we were cutting the cable," exclaimed Centel worker, Duke Brittain. "The cable was marked incorrectly," he said. However, according to Ron West, Southwestern Bell supervisor, the cables were marked correctly and the problem was due to Centel. Service to most of the campus was restored by mid-afternoon according to an informal survey by The Vista. The new phone system currently being installed by Centel was approved by the Board of Regents in
April and is expected to be in operation by early August. It will replace CSU's present system which was installed in 1948. The university decided to install a new system because of the age of the present one, its vulnerability to breakdowns and lack of spare parts. The new system will include not only new phones and lines, but will also offer the added attraction of allowing the university to plug the system into CSU's computer system. CSU switched from Southwestern Bell to Centel because of projected rising costs. Centel was awarded to contract to handle the new phone system at the Regents April meeting when bids were opened and they were the low bidder with a price of $575,870 to install the system. According to Dr. Bill Lillard, CSU president, the university might also take over some of the responsibilities of the phone company by offering services to dorm residents instead of Centel handling the service. Lillard said earlier that he though the university could save the students money by providing the service.

Oklahoma main loser in tax case By Mary Hierl With all the fanfare that occompanied the advent of General Motors into Oklahoma, it is hard to believe that the attorney general's office was not aware of the circumstances and conditions pertaining to GM's agreement to locate a manufacturing plant in Oklahoma City. The General Motors plant was opened in April 1979, and until late last year it produced more cars than any other GM plant in the country. There are 20 states in the nation who offer tax breaks to industry. General Motors chose Oklahoma. The main reason that GM chose to locate a large new manufacturing plant in Oklahoma City was the tax breaks offered by the Oklahoma Industries Authority, an offer apparently unlawful. Editorial After the plant had been built and was in full operation, the then attorney general ruled that the tax breaks granted to GM were against the law. Apparently, the Oklahoma Industries Authority is not what its name suggests. The Oklahoma Industries Authority consists of a general manager and a secretary. It would seem that an authority such as the OIA should have legal advice within its facility. Making decisions for industry where millions of dollars are involved is a heavy responsibility. GM was misinformed by an Oklahoma agency, and as a result invested millions of dollars in building a manufacturing plant in Oklahoma City. In light of the denial of a tax break, GM is questioning whether the Oklahoma City plant can be cost/effective. Over the short term, Oklahoma will benefit by the 12 million tax money that GM has been ordered to pay. Over the long term, Oklahoma will be the loser since GM will be reluctant to further expand its plant and may eventually close it. More importantly, Oklahoma's credibility and integrity has suffered measurably on the national scene.

Opinion Page Class climate causes cool comment Letter to the editor: Sneezing, wheezing and running through my umpteenth box of Kleenex, I decided to speak my mind about the temperature of offices and classrooms on this campus. In winter, the temperature rises inside as quickly as it falls outside. In summer, the opposite is true. Sure, with war in the Middle East and children starving in Africa, this seems a small complaint. But drastic temperature changes from inside to out
wreck the health and morale of students and employees alike. Therefore, it deserves consideration. Forcing a student or worker to sit in over-heated or over-cooled rooms ranks in the top-ten on the medieval torture scale (right there behind Chinese water torture). To heighten the effect, the victim of CSU's temperature control often must spend the day darting in and out of buildings, getting too hot then too cold again and again. I know temperature changes do not
cause illness, but they do tend to lower one's resistance and make it easier for germs or viruses to take hold. Even if the health and welfare of staff and students were not in danger, the economic considerations alone should prompt someone to more accurately regulate temperatures across campus. It must cost a mint to keep classrooms at 85 degrees in the winter and 65 degrees in the summer. There has to be a happy medium somewhere in between! D. Shell
From the editor's office By Matthew Driskill Editor It was our pleasure last week to inform the campus that The Vista had garnered its seventh All American award from the Associated Colligiate Press Association. It was our fifth award in a row and one of which we are certainly proud. Mike Sherman, the former editor and now a sports writer for The Daily Oklahoman deserves much praise. Putting together an eight-page newspaper twice a week with a small staff can be a taxing experience. Especially when one considers that all involved are also attending classes and many have other part-time jobs outside of the paper and school.
Mike said in the article that "it just goes to show what a little work and a lot of arguing will do." It should be noted that he meant more than a little work was involved because he was seen in the office many times late at night and then early in the morning. Also to be commended and recognized for his outstanding contribution to the paper is Hank Mooney, the executive editor and director. It is he to whom the praise must go for he is there when the computer breaks down or a story needs pasting-up. Without Mooney, there would be no Vista. And now we are involved in summer school and the paper continues. We all realize that summertime is a little slower paced than other times of the year and people range far and wide
in pursuit of warm weather fun. We here at the paper would like to continue the award winning ways and for us to do that we need the help of the entire campus. If any of the departments have anything special happening, a guest speaker, or a club meeting or outing, then we would appreciate it if someone in the department could drop us a line or give us a call and let us know so that we can get coverage on the event. We will publish once a week on Thursdays, so if something is coming up we really need to know about it a week in advance so that we can schedule it for publication. We are located in the Communications Building, room 107. Our extension is 548 or 549.
CSU altered 'for the worse' Letter to the Editor I have been a student at Central State University off and on for the past ten or so years with an eight year break while serving in the army. I have seen some changes in our university in both students and physical structures. However, it's the physical structures that have changed for he worse! I'm very concerned that the state board of regents, we students and the legislature have allowed this deterioration to occur.

Why not a new photography facility orjoint communicationjournalism building to replace the floodridden building we now use? Why not have new equipment to go with these buildings and more teachers to maintain our present ratio of teachers to students? All of these things require money; yet in most of these cases we can realize these worthwhile projects as well as enlarging our ancient stadium and supplying our athletic department with cold weather equipment. With the support of our state board of regents and donation drives by our alumni, why should we be deprived of the use of our tax dollars especially with the rise in tuition effective in the fall. Contrary to what Mr. E.K. Gaylord may think, CSU students pay 100% of their tuition, albeit indirectly through ad valorum taxes and state sales taxes, yet, we do. Instead, OU and OSU have been favored far too long. I believe we've come of age and it's time we acted accordingly, from Dr. Lillard down to the lowest staff member, because, regardless of what our student senate does, the real power rests with us, as
taxpayers and with our adminstrators as special interest pleaders. If OU and OSU says "jump", their alumni ask "how high?" Yet, I challenge our alumni to even reply much less tell us that they can't jump. The truth is that we've alwayus been the beggar school and it's time we stopped paying for that "honor". Greg Smith

State,local world news Evidence ban loosened The Supreme Court on Monday relaxed for the first time its 70-year-old rule banning illegally obtained evidence from criminal trials. The justices ruled that illegally seized evidenced may be admissable if police "inevitably" would have discovered it anyway. The ruling in a 16-year-old Iowa murder case merely placed the court's stamp of approval on a practice that most state and federal courts have been using for years. Still ahead however, is a far more important court test of the "exclusionary rule," a device aimed at deterring unlawful police conduct. The justices are expected to decide by July whether there should be an exception for evidence that is "illegal" due only to a technical mistake by authorities. The issue has proved to be one of the most controversial and hotly debated in law enforcement circles. Led by Chief Justice Warren Burger, conservatives have denounced the rule saying it unfairly coddles criminals and punishes the rest of society. Burger wrote for the court Monday as it reinstated, 7-2, the murder conviction of Robert Anthony Williams in the 1968 killing of Pamela Powers. A federal appeals court had thrown out Williams' conviction after ruling that police involved in the case had used illegal tactics in persuading Williams to lead them to the 10-year-old girl's body.
Funds allocated by Regents The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, at a special June 4 meeting, allocated $467,149,169 for the Educational and General Operating Budgets of The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education for 1984-85. Included in the $467 million are $367,616,027 in state appropriated funds and $99,533,142 in estimated revolving funds income (student fees and other collections that support the educational budget). The State Regents had requested a total of $495,526,847 in state appropriated funds in the budget recommendation made to the legislature last January. The amount appropriated for the coming year represents an increase of $6,376,129 over the reduced amount of state appropriated funds allocated for 1983-84. The legislature reduced higher education budgets for the current year by $27 million last January in an effort to balance state expenditures against a general revenue fund collection shortfall. In making the allocations, the State Regents assured each State System institution 95 percent of the state appropriated funds that were finally available for 1983-84. The remaining five percent of
the state appropriated funds were apportioned to institutions based on changes in work load over the past two years. The system of allocations used by the Regents was aimed toward perserving the basic level of operations of institutions that have steady or declining enrollments while at the same time recognizing the need for additional funds by those institutions where enrollments have grown. Chancellor Joe Leone told the Regents that Oklahoma higher education will lose ground nationally in regard to state support and total funds available per student. Preliminary studies already show Oklahoma slipping from 21st position among the states back toward the 40's where it was five years ago, he said. Another year of reduced or steady-state funding will mean a loss of quality in educational programs as State System institutions lack the necessary funds to attract and hold strong faculty, strengthen their libraries, purchase supplies and replace outmoded equipment, Dr. Leone said. The Regents are scheduled to consider for approval institutional budgets for 1984-85 at a meeting to be held on June 29 in Durant.
Teens charged in shooting A Midwest City teen-ager and two of her friends were charged Tuesday in district court in connection with what police termed the $200 contract shooting of her father. The father survived two gunshots wounds. A fourth youth was turned over to juvenile court for his role in the shooting police said. Authorities said Sandra Bentley, 16, paid two friends $200 to kill Roland R. Bentley, 52, of 3909 Rosewood Drive. Charged jointly on a count of shooting with intent to kill are Miss Bently, who lived with her father; Anthony Johnson, 16, of 4426 N. Westminster, Oklahoma City; and Londa K. Hampton, 16, of 3424 Paradise Circle, Oklahoma City. Police declined to release the name of the 15-year-old boy, also suspected of participating in the shooting. The youth is too young to be automatically considered an adult under Oklahoma's reverse certification law and his case will be referred to juvenile court.
Convention threatened A group of arsonists blamed for setting 11 fires across northern Texas has sent letters to news organizations warning that the blazes will continue as long as President Reagan continues to intervene in Central American affairs, authorities said. The threats are being taken seriously since they have mentioned Reagan and the Republican National Convention, which is scheduled for August in Dallas according to FBI spokesman Parks H. Sterns. In the letters, a group calling itself the American Army claims responsibility for the fires, but investigators say they have no strong leads in the cases. The threats have prompted the entry of the Secret Service into the investigation. Each of the letters was signed but authorities have said the names are probably symbolic pseudonyms. One signature was that of Richard Hofstadter, the name of a Pulitzer Prize-winning author who died in 1970. Only one injury has been reported as a result of the fires the group claims to have set, that being a firefighter who suffered minor injuries while fighting a trestle fire in east Dallas. The first blaze the group claims responsibility for did $500,000 in damage to a Santa Fe Railroad bridge in Dallas on Jan. 31. Officials said the fire cost the railroad another $500,000 in rerouting while the trestle was replaced. Since then the group has claimed responsibility for three other fires to railroad trestles and for seven fires that were set to utility poles.

Local rock band comes full circle with success By Kerry O'Donnell
Helping out— Delia Hayes (left) gets a helping hand in computer technology frpm Dan Hinchcliffe Jr. Hayes is on campus participating in the week-long Elderhostel program. See story below.
Associate Editor Patterned after the group Chicago, the band Odyssey made its debut in the early 70s. Today, they have developed a new sound and now after several years of experiments and changes Odyssey has come full circle and is meeting with the success they have worked so hard to achieve. Founded by a group of local college students to play at parties and dances, much of Odyssey's new found success can be attributed to personnel changes and a larger selection of music according to Mike Jezerak, CSU graduate student who is the sound
'Typical' students converge on CSU By Eva Galipeau From as far away as Illinois they arrived last week on the campus of Central State University, typical students eager to learn and excited at the opportunity to further their education. But here the similarity to college freshman ends, for unlike their fulltime counterparts, these "students" are all over 60 years of age. They are participanmts in the CSU Elderhostel program, a nationally sanctioned event offered to older men and women on 500 college and university campuses nationwide. Including CSU, 9 Oklahoma institutions are offering these programs at various times throughout the summer. "The biggest threat to a retired person is boredom," says John Morgan, a retiree from Borger, Texas. "Retirement leaves a void, but Elderhostel gives you a chance to be a student again. There's a lot of satisfaction in that." With his wife, Wilma, Morgan has traveled as far as 500 miles to attend Elderhostels. They've been on 10 of these excursions the past three summers, including two trips to CSU, and each one has been a unique experience for the Morgans. "We get the local history at every university we vist," says Mrs. Morgan. "Each one offers different opportunities." Elderhostel is a concept created in 1975 by social activist and educator Marty Knowlton in response to what he perceived as a need among older adults for -intellectual stimulation and meaningful activity in their later years. Directed by Dr. Margaret Isaac, associate professor of psychology, and Dr. Clyde Jacob, assistant vice president of academic affairs, the CSU Elderhostel program is in its second season. The week-long event treats 22 people aged 62-85 to classes in Oklahoma history, creative writing, photography and computer operation as well as opportunities for sight seeing and exercise. Once on campus, the CSU Elderhostelers were invited to hang place cards on the doors of their dorm rooms that will be home for the next week. These posters became testimonials to the lives of the residents within and their unique needs that draw them to Elderhostels year after year. "I enjoy Elderhostels because my wife is always nice to me around other people," Morgan's sign quips.
Other signs offer more serious insights into the personalities of school teacher, petrochemical engineers and Christmas tree growers who choose to spend their retirement in communion with others who share their interests. "It's the best way for people our age to associate with others who share their interests. "It's the best way for people our age to associate with other," says Mary Christian, San Saba, Texas. "I love meeting people with so much in common and I've developed several extended friendships through these programs. Mrs. Morgan agrees, "we've never been to an Elderhostel where we don't see people that we've met at an earlier one." Twelve of this year's attendants are returnees. Ellen Bertoni and Myrtle Wagner are back at CSU for the second time. A veteran Elderhosteler, Bertoni has attended 13 such programs, including two in Denmark and Finland. "The program is just fantastic," Bertoni insists. "It gives you a chance to develop outside interests that can really make the difference for older people." Wagner, who traveled with Bertoni from Taylorville, Ill., also thinks that variety is the key to the success of Elderhostel programs. "There are so many things to do here," she says. "Everyone is going to find something that interests them." Isaac, coordinator of the event, believes that the dedication of the faculty makes the difference at CSU. "Success is not entirely what you offer," says Isaac. "More importantly it's the quality of the instruction." This years's faculty includes CSU teachers and gerontology students as well as Kerr-McGee volunteers. The highlight of the staff, most Elderhostelers insist, is assistant history professor Royce Peterson, who offered a musical interpretation of Oklahoma history. But as Horance Nance, San Saba, Texas, retiree, points out, leadership is the ingredient that makes the program work. "Elderhostel just could not run without Dr. Isaac pulling the whole thing together," he says. Last year, the CSU Elderhostel program received a proclamation from Oklahoma Governor George Nigh for its outstanding success in enhancing the education of the elderly. If the response of those attending this year is any indication, the same success will again be achieved.
•■ By Linda Jones Stereotypes have to be tossed right out the window when it comes to Central State University senior Frankie Wood. The physics major who graduated May 4, doesn't fit anyone's mold but her own. In a man's world, the perky little brunette holds on tightly to her femininity. In academia, she is blazing new trails. As a physics student at CSU, Frankie has frequently found herself the only girl in many of her classes. "At the most, there will be two or three others in the advanced classes," she said. There were only three other
girls going through the major at the same time. And in the heady world of thermodynamics, optics and atomic physics, Frankie is the first CSU physics student to complete an undergraduate thesis. "I did it for two reasons," said Frankie, who has done a great deal of research in the field of electrolysis. "I wanted the experience of writing the thesis and I wanted documentation of my work." Frankie, along with Dr. Whit Marks, who directed her study is hoping the results will be published.
engineer and plays trumpet for the group. "We play mostly top 40's," stated Jezerak. "We have found
this is what people are interested in hearing. Performing the music of such groups as Van Halen and The Police, Odyssey has become more diverse than in the early days of the band. "Now we just try to sound like the group whose music we are playing, instead of patterning after one specific group." CSU boasts two performers in the eight-piece ensemble. Along with Jezerak, Danny Lowrance, music major, sharing lead vocals. Other members include Scott Spies on keyboards, Dana Shelton, vocals, Jeff Eason, bass player, James Pamplin, guitar, Bill Pearson, saxaphone and Danny Maloy, drummer. "We have a lot of talent in the band, it's a lot of fun to work with such an enthusiastic group," said Jezerak. Jezerak points out the hard work involved in establishing and maintaining the success of a band. "Most of the players are students or hold down other jobs. Every time we perform it takes three to four hours to set up the band and about two hours to take it down," said Jezerak. Jezerak, himself knows the hardship of dividing one's time between school and work. As a graduate student, he currently teaches a chemistry course for underpriviledged students, while earning graduate credits. He plans to attend Oklahoma State University next semester to complete work on his doctorate. With the growth of Odyssey many new opportunities have come to them. "The band is now run as a business," according to Jezerak."We have an owner, Bill Pearson, and this has helped things to run smoothly." "Organization has been the hardest part of this business," stated Jezerak. "There is so much to do, so many things to get
together at once." The members are hard at work putting together new music concepts and seeking other engagements. "We would like to start playing at sorority and fraternity parties around the campuses," said Jezerak. The band plans to spread out and play throughout the state. "We would also like to plan a tour someday," stated Jezerak.

"The electrolysis of hydrogen is a step in its production as a fuel source," she explained. The daughter of Lt. Col. and Mrs. Timothy Pasquarelli, Izmir, Turkey, Frankie is a graduate of Edmond High School. "But I went to a lot of schools, since I'm an Army brat," she said. She will transfer next fall to Oklahoma State University where she will work toward a master's degree in chemical physics with her eye ultimately on a doctorate. While at CSU, Frankie walked away with the lion's share of honors. She received the Outstanding Senior Physics Award; the Physics Service Award; Outstanding Senior in the
School of Math and Science, and was listed in Who's Who Among American Colleges and Universities, President's and Dean's Honor Rolls, and Mortar Board. She is a member of Alpha Lambda Delta, Sigma Pi Sigma and the society of Physics Students, which she served two years as president. Frankie says she hopes to ultimately become involved in research. She is particularly praiseworthy of her teacher instructors at CSU. "They're fantastic," said Frankie. "The classes are small and you get a lot of individual help. And the applications are good, not just theoretical." "My professors were all serious, dedicated teachers."

Bronchos active at festival Story and Photos by June Lantz The annual Canterbury Arts Festival held last weekend saw a lot of action from Central State personnel. CSU students, faculty and alumni played a vital role in the success of the festival. They not only comprised a substantial portion of the patrons, but the artists, as well. The festival, being a large cultural event in Edmond, spanned beyond the pavilion area at Hafer Park. Something was offered for each taste in art— Oil, watercolor, acrylic and even sculptured paintings
were for sale. Pottery, jewelry, glassworks, metalworks, and woodworks were displayed, too. The festival availed itself for other artists to show off their talents. Music, break—dancing, and trick bicycle riding happened throughout the weekend. The kids even had an art center designed for their amusement alone. To further the success of the festival, the weather even cooperated. The lone problem was a rain shower late Saturday afternoon which caused many artists to close shop. They returned, though, Sunday, to a beautiful sun-drenched day.
The Canterbury Arts Festival held in Hafer Park June 9 and 10 attracted 25 artists and (top right) hundreds of art watchers including one that got to ride in a "mom-powered" chair. (Top left) Kathy Beeson, a CSU graduate shows off one of her pieces to a young admirer. Beeson won first place in pottery during the festival.

Work just beginning for Stebbing
Windows portray spiritual songs By Melissa Mercer Associate Editor Almost 40 years ago, a matter of particular interest was buzzing around campus. The topic of conversation centered on a small structure nestled unobtrusively amid the classroom buildings. A project that was introduced by the Young Women's and Young Men's Christian Association eight years prior was finally nearing an end as the carpenters put the finishing touches on the `Y' Chapel of Song. Although construction of the chapel was complete, the work was just beginning for Beatrice Paschall Stebbing and the Central State art department. A colossal project had been undertaken to design and craft 15 stained glass windows, which would convey the meaning of the newly built chapel. Not wishing to compete with Old World artists who were inspired to craft windows depicting saints or Psalms, the students chose to design the windows around a theme incorporating religious songs. This theme is illustrated in two separate series entitled the "Life Series" and the "Enrichment of Life Series". Each contains five vertical windows placed on the north (left) and the south (right) walls which portray various elements of spiritual life and illustrate the songs chosen for each subject. The window designs on the right, the Enrichment of Life series, contain male figures while those on the left, the Life Series,
contain female figures. The determination of which series was to be placed on which wall came in accordance with the position of the bride and the groom during the wedding ceremony. The groom always enters from the right and is met by his bride on the left. Within the Life series, the five windows depict the basic stages of life: infancy, childhood, marriage, maturity and immortality. The Enrichment of Life series is designed to illustrate activities of a well-balanced life: labor, military service, civic interests, church activity and intellectual accomplishments. The infancy and immortality, or Christmas and Easter windows, are traditionally Christian themes which portray respectively, the Christmas Madonna and Child and Mary heralding the Easter resurrection of Christ before the empty tomb. Attributed to these portrayals are the songs "We Three Kings of Orient Are" and "Hallelujah, Christ Arose!" Childhood and maturity also bear strictly Christian themes in an illustration of the virtue of Bible study and prayer. The Window of Childhood depicts a mother relating stories from the Bible to a small girl at her side. "My Mother's Bible" was the song chosen for this theme. The Window of Maturity suggests a maturation of spiritual life from a child's understanding of Bible stories to an adult's reliance on prayer for guidance. The window features a light from heaven

shining on the face of a praying woman. The Bride's window, however, departs somewhat from its counterparts. It is an illustration of the song "The Bells of St. Mary's", in which the bride waits at St. Mary's church for her beloved to come from the sea when the red leaves are falling. A small sailor stands in the lower left corner to symbolize the American youth who served at sea in World War II. Opposite, housed in the south wall, the Enrichment of Life Series contains five windows illustrating spiritual pursuits in life beginning with the Knight window. The song title "Follow the Gleam" is inscribed at the base of the window, below a crusading knight in armor, fighting for the cause of Christianity. Next in the series is the American and the Indian windows. The American window is a portrayal of civic interest which features a Puritan to symbolize the development of American freedom in the theme of "America the Beautiful", while

the Indian window represents service in the church through a theme of universal Christianity expressed in the song "In Christ There Is No East or West". The song "Eternal Mind the Potter Is" is the subject of the Window of Intellectual Interests. A potter stands before two large hands, as the hands of God seemingly revealed from the sky. One hand is open presenting man, His creation, to the universe. The other hand is close to the left shoulder of the potter, ready to give help if needed. Last in this series is the Chariot window, attributed to the song "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" which is designed to illustrate man's labor in life. The central figure is an aging black man looking to a golden chariot from heaven.

Gabrish wins top Gridiron award
Theresa Gabrish
By Matthew Driskill Editor Senior photojournalism student Theresa Gabrish, Central State University, was named the outstanding female journalist by the Oklahoma Gridiron Association and received a $1,000 scholarship recently. Joe Angus, chairman of the Gridiron scholarship committee, said Gabrish was chosen because "she has applied herself well in her part-time job with the Norman Transcript. "Theresa has one really worked hard for them (the Transcript) and she seem to be awfully good at what she does... taking pictures," Angus said. Gabrish was one of 65 students who applied for scholarships with the Gridiron Association, and was one of 19 chosen. Angus said about $9000 in scholarship money was available this year. "It was a shock when they told me I got the scholarship," said Gabrish. "I knew some of the people I was competing against, and there were some tough ones in there. There were people in it I
have competed against all my life, and I was really shocked to learn I got it." Gabrish said the experience one gets working for a professional newspaper while still in school is invaluable. "I've gotten experience here that I could not have gotten anywhere else," Gabrish said. "In shooting a picture, you have to show everything truthfully, and it's hard to get all that in sometimes. "You have to be honest about the thing...that's our business, telling the truth. You have to be straight with people and keep your ethics in mind," Gabrish said. And the hardest thing for Gabrish to do? "Taking pictuers of people that have been in an accident or something like that. You have to be careful and not invade their privacy," Gabrish said. "A lot of these guys who go out and take all these pictures of people who are in pain and things just want to win a Pulitzer Prize. They don't care about the people they are shooting... and that's not right.

Guy Hardaker, prepares to put the tag on a Broncho foe during play at the District 9 tournament in May. Hardaker was drafted by the Philideiphia Phillies and is the first District 9 player to achieve that honor. See story below.
Hardaker taken in draft
CSU ends impressive season By Kerry O'Donnell The Central State University baseball team ran up the best record in the history of the school, closing out the 1984 season earning an impressive 39-8 winloss ratio and reaching the District 9 finals for the second straight year. The season brought several firsts for Bronchos. Guy Hardaker, junior third baseman, is the first CSU player ever to be drafted by a major league baseball team. Taken in the tenth round, Hardaker signed with the Philadelphia Phillies on June 7. This gave the Jones native the honor of being the first player to be drafted in District 9. "In time this will enhance our program," stated Coach Bobby Hunt. "This will allow other high school and junior college players interested in coming to CSU the realizaton that if they perform at a high level, they can be drafted as easily as those from OU or OSU," said Coach Hunt. Just a junior this past season, Hardaker hit .324 in his first year as a switch hitter and third baseman. He had 47 hits in 145 at bats, scored a team high 48 runs, tied Brett Turner for the lead in home runs with eight, and hit nine doubles, one triple, drove in 29 runs and stole seven bases. He was walked 24 times and struckout just 13 times. Hardakers credits include: All-District honors, All-Area III and honorable mention All-American.
With Hardaker's signing, the Bronchos lost six players with the close of the 1984 season. Along with Hardaker, those completeing their eligibility this season include four year players Ron Maxwell, pitcher from Putnam City High School, Todd Green, outfielder, Duncan High School, Steve Gordy, utility infielder, El Reno Junior College, Brett Turner, left-fielder, Southeast High School and catcher Jay Watkins, Duncan High School. These people will be hard to replace," said Coach Hunt. "But we have hopes and aspirations of adding to our squad in recruiting. With a little luck and hard work we feel we can improve and be a little better than last year." Another honor was placed on CSU's baseball team when senior catcher, Jay Watkins was named to the NAIA Academic All-America Baseball team. Watkins, completing a four-year career at CSU, holds an overall grade point average of 3.36 while majoring in history education. According to Doug Folks, sports information, Watkins becomes the third player to earn AllAmerica honors of some kind. This past season, the Duncan native played catcher, but spent most of his time as a designated-hitter and pinch-hitter against left-handed pitching. Watkins hit .327 with 17 hits in 52 at bats. He also drove in 10 runs, hit one home run, one triple, six doubles and scored 17 runs.
