IBM grant to finance lab By Kurt Koenig

Student Writer

The Central State University College of Education was awarded a $182,500 grant May 22 from IBM for the installation and upkeep of a computer center and to prepare new teachers for the expanded use of technology in the classroom..

The lab will be in Evans Hall, Room 6, once the Enrollment Center returns to the Administration Builiding. Installation should be completed by the end of July. The grant includes: 15 work stadon computers, one computer with a speech adapter, one computer with an Infowindow attachment, another computer to be used as a "server," two printers and a

The NCATE requires a faculty course load not to exceed 12 hours for undergraduate faculty and nine hours for graduate faculty. Since the NCATE visit, the State Professional Standards Board has adopted anew entry-year policy. A faculty member may now be on two entry-year teams, and count those credit hours as public school service. Those hours will not count against course load.

Handicap accessibility hindered by campus age, employees say By Mark Schlachtenhaufen Managing Editor

Second of two parts

Oklahoma has the fifth largest handicap population in the United States, but Central State University suffers from a lack of accessible campus housing, rehabilitative services officials said. "I'm not saying the campus is doing everything it could do for handicapped people," said Joe Lanham of Rehabilitative Services, "But with this campus being a level campus, more level than most campuses, it should be an ideal place for handicapped people. Lynn Holdsclaw, another rehabilitative services employee, said, "Mainly I think I'd like to see a little more emphasis placed on sidewalks being smoothed out and some repaving needs to be done."

Exposed tree roots have cracked campus sidewalks. Maintenance equipment and weather adversely affect pavement. Such conditions can make travel difficult for visually-impaired students too. An ongoing sidewalk maintenance program could help, Lanham said. Also, more campus accessible housing for handicap students is needed, Holdsclaw said. According to federal Architectural Accessibility for the Disabled of College Campuses guidelines, outdoor ramps, where accumulations of ice and snow may occur, should have either an overhead covering or heating elements. Yet, a host house ramp fails to meet this guideline and sidewalks need to be paved or black-topped, Holdsclaw said. A Thatcher Hall ramp has an insufficient landing area and no overhead protection from the elements.

Other campus ramps lack sufficient cover to remain free of winter ice and snow. In addition, more ramps are needed at various campus buildings, Lanham said. East Hall and West Hall have regulation restroom facilities, but Murdaugh Hall has no ramp. Wheelchair students are limited to the first floor of the resident halls because there are no elevators. A potentially life-threatening situation exists for wheelchairbound students living in East Hall's handicap accessible room. The placement of the access ramp forces students in a wheelchair to make an estimated two-tothree minute trip due to steps placed near the door without a ramp—extra seconds that could mean life or death to a student during a fire, a student said. If a wheelchair driver attempted Please see ACCESS on page 8.

Opinion

Higher ed reforms put on back burner

By DeWayne Smoot Editor in chief

Lawmakers took great strides to improve public education in Oklahoma during their 1990 legislative session. But, at the same time, higher education reform got a black eye when five senators failed to approve a rules change vote that would have allowed the Senate to replace Linda Grantham as representative No. 8 for the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges. In April, Gov. Henry Bellmon appointed J.D. Helms, an Oklahoma City attorney and former state regent, to Central State University's governing board—but his appointment had to be approved by the Senate. Instead of acting on Bellmon's request, the Senate suspended a rules change vote, nullifying Helms' appointment and locking Grantham in her position on the board for at least another year. The conflict is this: Bellmon contends state statutes require Grantham to physically reside within a specified district which she is supposed to represent. In Grantham's case, state officials say she "must live and work on a day-to-day basis in" either Oklahoma, Logan, Cleveland, McClain, Garvin,

Murray or Payne County to fulfill her obligation to state law: she moved to Lawton, in Comanche County, last year. The bigger problem is this: Grantham has served seven years on a board that consistently rubber stamps practically every proposal brought before it by the six university administrations it governs. At least three of these administrations—East Central University, Ada, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, Durant, and CSU—have been under the scrutiny of the State Attorney General's Office or the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation—or both—within the last five years. Helms, who has fully supported higher education reform in the state for nine years, recognizes the need for regents to take an active roll in higher education. Helms told a Vista reporter in April he would enjoy the opportunity of working closer to university operations and, before the Senate nullified his chances, was looking forward to working with the college regents. Grantham, on the other hand, has failed to return numerous telephone calls from The Vista. Reporters from The Vista and two other area newspapers have been trying to contact Granthm—unsuccessfully—since April 7.

A recent letter complaining about mistakes in the 1990 Bronze Book ultimately illustrates more about administration's attitudes than it does about the skills and dedication of the yearbook staff. As former activities editor for the Bronze Book, I can testify to the impossibility of the task with which we were presented. An average of four people were expected to complete a 380-page book, without a full-time adviser. Without funding for a photographer, most photos had to be arranged through a separate office. It's ironic that various people are now complaining about misspelled names and mis-identified photos, considering how little cooperation we got when we were putting the yearbook together. Phone calls asking for assistance were often ignored. I'm not happy about the errors, either. Many were caused by a printer who got the job via a low bid, then evidently cut corners by using sloppy procedure. What's really impressive is that the yearbook has won recognition for quality in recent years, despite all the problems. The staff of the Bronze Book

needs cooperation and funding during production, not after-thefact whining.

Readers get chance to meet candidates By Randal Terrill Guest Writer Every four years Oklahoma voters have the collective opportunity and, indeed, the responsibility, to elect a new governor. Nov. 6 will mark the 24th occassion of such an event. Since Oklahoma was admitted to the Union as the 46th state, Nov. 16, 1907, it has had 21 very different men serve as governor: 19 Democrats and two Republicans. Two of them, George Nigh and Henry Bellmon, served more than two terms. This year, 12 men, five Democrats and seven Republicans, are vigorously campaigning for the chance to represent their political party in the general election in November. Democratic candidates include: U.S. Rep. Wes Watkins, Oklahoma House Speaker Steve Lewis, businessman David Walters, businessman John "Shorty" Barnett, and Sen. Carl Franklin. Republican candidates include: attorney Burns Hargis, attorney Bill Price, businessman Jerry Brown, Sen. Jerry Smith, Sen.

Mike Fair, and farmer and rancher Jerry Hoyt. For the two final nominees, this opportunity will be the culmination of a very long, hard and expensive campaign, and two previous victories in the primary and run-off primary elections, Aug. 28 and Sept. 18, respectively. Politically, Oklahoma has been described as conservative, Baptist, and Democrat, although not necessarily in that order. And, as always, education and economic development promise to be the two most important tunes any gubenatorial candidate can sing. Who will win the general election in November and become Oklahoma's 24th govenor? No one knows that for sure, but the purpose of this weekly column is to keep CSU students informed about the "movers and shakers" in the 1990 gubernatorial race. More importantly, it will inform the university community of the various positions these candidates take on various issues. Hopefully, after the conclusion of this series, CSU students will be thoroughly familiar with the candidates and armed with enough accurate information to make a decision at the ballot box this Fall.

Artist puts wrinkle in art Palmer explains 'new twist' in national magazine By Erin Mitchell Staff Writer Some artists might get upset if their canvas was full of wrinkles, but wrinkles are the basis of Bob Palmer's own artistic technique. Palmer, an assistant professor of art at Central State University, recently presented what he calls his wrinkled canvas technique in the June issue of The Artist's

Green was appointed in April to serve a three-year term ending May 1, 1993. "I'm delighted," Green said. He has served on the board of directors of the Historical Society for more than nine years cumulatively. "The board of directors establishes policy for the Historical Society and is responsible for the state museum, library and archives," Green said.

Clark said he believes in a strong campus newspaper that is a credit to the department, and that The Vista has shown much improvement under faculty adviser Mark Hanebutt. Clark earned his master's degree in journalism at the University of Iowa. He has been publisher and owner of the Waurika News-Democrat; taught courses in editorial and column writing, management, layout, and photography at OSU; and taught newswriting and editing for the Oklahoma Press Association.

Global walkers reach CSU By Erin Mitchell Staff Writer

Photos by Ken Freeman

About 40 activists put aside their jobs, families and other aspects of their personal lives to walk across the United States in a show of concern for the future of the planet. Participants of A Global Walk for a Livable World arrived at Central State University at 4:30 p.m. Saturday. Their journey's purpose is to raise environmental awareness by sharing their vision of a sustainable, peaceful, ecologically-sound way-of-life. "The whole idea is to make people more aware of what they can do to help save the earth," said Ellen Barfield, a full-time peace activist from "peace farm" in Amarillo, Texas. A man calling himself "Peace Pilgrim II" joined the walk as a part of his already unique lifestyle: Pilgrim gave his children all of his money and possesions and left Oct. 2, 1989 on a lifelong "walk for peace."

Pilgrim took his name after Peace Pilgrim, a woman who spent her last 28 years walking more than 25,000 miles she stopped counting in 1961 de livering her message of peace until her death in 1981. Like her, Pilgrim does not tell his birth name or age. "I don't want people to follow me," Pilgrim said. "Rather, I want them to become aware of the issues on which I speak." Pilgrim will continue his journey even after the Global Walk is over. While walking 15-20 miles each day, the group picks up recyclable litter, plants trees, and learns about local environmental concerns. The walkers stop at colleges, schools, churches and community groups along the way and offer information on global warming, deforestation, acid rain, ozone depletion, pesticides and the nuclear industry. Phase one of the walk began Feb. 1 in Los Angeles and will conclude on Oct. 24 (U. N. Day) at the United Nations Building in New York City. Phase two of the walk, the 'Eurasian Pilgrimmage' will begin in April 1991 in London and conclude August 6, 1993 (Hiroshima Day) in Hiroshima.

Walkers cool off and relax after an 18-mile walk from south Oklahoma City.

Sports Rap Those lazy, crazy days of summer Oklahoma City metropolitan area students cannot use the excuse, "there's nothing to do this sumBill mer". If you Kramer like sports, (and you probably do or else you wouldn't be reading this page), there's a lot to do this summer. Classes often bog students down. We regularly need a little recreation time to get us fuctioning again. I like to play sports to relieve the stress and pressure of the daily class routine, so I go with my roommate to play tennis a lot. It's a relatively inexpensive sport that's fun for players of all ages and skill levels. The Central State University tennis courts, located east of Broncho Fieldhouse, have now been resurfaced and are open all day and until about 12 a.m. If tennis is not your racket, basketball or swimming may be more appealing. If so, the Broncho Fieldhouse welcomes students to a game of hoops from 2-5 p.m. weekdays. The pool is also open from 2-5 p.m. Extended hours are on Tuesdays and Thursdays when the pool is open to students, faculty and staff, including their families from 7:30-9:30 p.m. CSU I.D. is required. The Fieldhouse weight room is open from 1-10 p.m. weekdays. If these activities will not satisfy the sports buff in you, the Oklahoma City 89ers have been a hot ticket in town of late and are developing into a fine team. e consistently inconsistent 80ers have won 60 percent of their games the past month following a horrid 9-27 start. Lack of quality pitching has been the weakness and the hitting leaves a little to be desired as well, despite the talent placed on the team by the parent Texas Rangers. An 11-game homestand continues this evening as the 89ers host Buffalo, the triple-A affiliate of the Pittsburg Pirates. The Pawtucket Red Sox (Boston's minor league farm team) come to town Friday for the opener of a three-game series. Tickets are $3.00 and game times are generally at 7:15 p.m. at All Sports Stadium, located at the Fair Grounds off Interstate 44.

Sports LSC football poll forcasts CSU 7th The 1990-91 Central State University football season is drawing near, and the Bronchos are looking to pull a big turnaround after last season's 0-10-1 performance, despite being picked seventh by the preseason Lone Star Conference pollsters. The Bronchos made a few position changes and switched their offensive attack from the I-formation to one similar to the Cincinnati Bengals with one back. Fox senior Pinkey Hurley, an All-LSC tailback last year, leads an offense with 10 returning starters. Senior Zane Burgess emerged as the top quarterback out of spring drills. Defensively, the Bronchos recorded no major changes, however, Wade Stanley was moved back to linebacker. Recruited as an end, Stanley was moved to linebacker at mid-season because of injuries to several other players. Stanley joins All-LSC pick and preseason All-American candidate Keith Traylor, giving the Bronchos one of the league's top linebacking duos, said Sports Information Director Mike Kirk. Traylor, a senior from Malvern, Ark., is expected to be taken in the 1991 NFL draft. Before returning home for the summer, Traylor ran before several professional scouts and was timed at 4.6 seconds in the 40-yard dash. Despite playing in only five full games because of injuries last season, Traylor recorded 79 tackles, five sacks, two fumble recoveries, two interceptions returned for touchdowns, three passes broken up, two blocked kicks and a picked off two-point conversion pass. This year, the Bronchos will try to compile their first winning season in four years. After going 7-2-1 in 1985 and reaching the NAIA quarterfinals, CSU has struggled to a 9-28-2 record the past four seasons. The Bronchos were 3-5-1 in 1986, 3-8 in 1987 and 4-5 in 1988 before last season's worst-ever 0-10-1 finish. The move to NCAA Div. II may be the prime factor in CSU's poor performance the last few seasons, but Head Coach Gary Howard, beginning his 14th year at the helm, should turn this team around. His career coaching record at CSU is 76-52-4. Four of his teams qualified for the NAIA playoffs, including a national runner-up team in 1979 and a national championship team in 1982.

children now are uncertain. The seminar, sponsored by the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy and Oklahoman's Opposed to Corporal Punishment, was directed by Dr. Earl Newman, professor at CSU, and offered as a one-credit-hour workshop June 4-7 at the University Center. While corporal punishment is still used in some Oklahoma schools, the trend is to eliminate it and give teachers viable alternatives, Newman said. Oklahoma City schools abolished the use of corporal punishment in Dec. 1989, and Norman schools last March. said Shari Strang, seminar coordinator. Presently, Tulsa schools are debating the issue. In her speech, "Stopping Tomorrow's Child Abuse Today," Sue Forney, Tulsa County superintendent, attributed many disciplinary problems to today's parentchild relationships. "Today's children need to observe an adult they can model, and often the parents are not around," Forney said. She did not fault the parents but emphasized teachers have a bigger responsibility than many are aware of. About 100 educators attended the seminar, and provided there is a continuing need, the seminar will be offered again next year, Newman said.

Spanish class to take students to Guatemala By Melissa Travers

Student Writer Ever want to visit an ancient Mayan ruin? The department of foreign languages will host a two-week, Spanish summer program in Guatemala. The program, in its 12th year, requires minimal knowledge of Spanish, is open to anyone interested and is worth three credit hours, said Ann Phillips, assistant professor of Foreign Languages and program director. Eighteen students will depart from Oklahoma City July 8 and return July 21. Students will have four hours of private conversation lessons every day, and trained instructors will work one-on-one with studts each morning at the Centro Linguistico Maya, one of the oldest language instruction centers, in Antigua. "The program is designed to increase language proficiency at a maximum rate because of the interweaving of one-on-one classes with a rich kaleidoscope of experiences in one of the most colorful Spanish-speaking countries," Phillips said. Program cost is $649, which includes airfare, instruction, room and board and daily afternoon excursions. It does not include tuition or personal expenses. For more program information, call Phillips at Ext. 5845.

Continued from page 1 the nearly two-foot drop down the stairs, the driver could be tossed from the wheelchair, dependent on assistance and unable to walk. Only two rooms in East Hall and West Hall are handicap accessible. The campus might benefit from a handicap dormitory, Holdsclaw said. Such a facility could attract more handicap students to CSU. Oklahoma State University has a dormitory solely for handicap students. The CSU disabled student population is about 175 students. A student suggested the possibility of converting a dormitory wing into handicap housing. Robert Fields, auxillary enterprises director, is responsible for recent improvements in two CSU resident halls. Fields said he would like to have more resident hall improvements, but money is scarce. Lanham agreed with Fields, saying CSU has done a great deal to help handicap students, but construction funding falls short in comparison to the University of Oklahoma and OSU. Auxiliary enterprises receives no state or federal money. Funds for resident hall improvements come solely from student room and board revenue. "We're not an ultimate handicap-use campus at this point," Fields said. "We have not reached the ultimate goal. I think we have done a lot of things, and I think we are average or above. "You might see everything accessible, but that would cost a lot of money,' Fields said. A possible solution to the problems could come from fraternities and sororities, Lanham said. Panhellenic students could sponsor public service projects like sidewalk maintenance to make up for revenue shortfalls. An impedence to updating CSU buildings is their age. Dormitory construction, for example, began in the 1930s, at a time when considerations for handicap students were minimal, Fields said. Old North was Oklahoma's first higher education building con-

structed in the early 1890s. The building, remodeled this past year, has four floors. An elevator reaches the second floor, limiting the accessibility of wheelchairbound students. Several buildings with classrooms lack elevators for access to upper floors: the Business Building, Mathematics, Home Economics and Industrial Arts. Expense and building age are reasons elevators have not been added.

Continued from page 1 $5,000 for technical assistance and training. The server networks the computer center with other centers, enabling them to use CSU's software. "We've been told that it's possible that we can link up to an elementary school in north Oklahoma City or a middle school here in Edmond," said Dr. Kenneth Elsner, College of Education dean.

Sexually transmitted disease on the rise By Jana Potts Staff Writer Although not life threatening like AIDS, Chlamydia is now recognized as the most prevalent and among the most damaging of sexually transmitted diseases, said Oklahoma State Department of Health officials. Chlamydia (pronounced IclaM1D-ee-ah) infects about four million Americans each year, making it twice as common as gonorrhea and 40 times more common than syphilis. "We have treated a couple of cases here," said Susan Kanaly, director of the Central State University Student Health Center. She said patients who may be infected with the disease are given tetracycline. "A lot of the students' concerns here are about pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, and judging from the number of birth control pills we give, I'd say the campus is very sexually active," Kanaly said. The number of chlamydia cases reported in Oklahoma from Janu

ary to May this year have increased 50 percent from the same time period in 1989. Health officials anticipate over 4,000 chlamydia cases in 1990, compared to the 2,822 cases reported last year. Chlamydia is most often spread through vaginal and anal intercourse. It can infect babies during birth if the mother is infected. The disease can cause chronic pain, permanent damage to reproductive organs, infertility and sterility, and eye, ear and lung infections in babies. The State Health Department said symptoms can appear within one week to a month after exposure and include a burning sensation when urinating, a discharge, low-grade fever, lower abdominal pain and, in women, bleeding between menstrual periods. "Most of the time there are no symptoms," Kanaly said. The Oklahoma State Department of Health urges anyone with these symptoms, or anyone who thinks they have been exposed to the disease, to see a physician for testing and treatment.
