Charges filed on coeds
By Richard Murteza Student Writer One of two Central State University Students pled guilty to charges of concealing stolen property Tuesday in Oklahoma County District Court. Evelyn L. King, 18, pled guilty to a charge of concealing stolen property in connection with book thefts from students in the library and attempting to sell them to book stores. Janeka Jordan, 18, still awaits a preliminary hearing scheduled for June 22 on two counts of concealing stolen property, in connection with charges filed against King. Both students were arrested last May while attempting to return stolen books to the University Book Store for a refund valued at $86.95. Police Chief Bobby Roberts said the books, belonging to a student, were taken off a study table from the CSU library, allegedly by the two girls. Clemma McCawley, assistant director of public services at the library, said all students should safeguard their property from any chance of theft. "Toward the end of the semester students may wish to keep one eye on their grades and the other on their books," said Roberts. He added that police are using a system used to identify and retrieve stolen books and the method has proven highly successful.

By Sweet Yee Ng Student Writer An International graduate student was robbed in his home Friday by a man posing to be a friend of the family. The student, Wee Pin Yap, surpised the man in his room when he returned home from class. Yap said the man had been posing as a friend of his brothers. Yap said the man told him his brother was in the kitchen. Yap went to the kitchen but his brother was not there. When he returned to his room, his belongings and the man were gone. Yap said he lost a video cassette recorder, a clock radio and $60 in cash to the man.
Chairman picked for advisory board By J. Money Summer Editor History and Geography Chairperson Dr. Donald E. Green has been appointed to the Oklahoma Historical Records Advisory Board by Governor Henry Bellmon. Green was appointed to the board for a three year term, to end in May of 1990. Mr. Howard Lowell, coordinator of the board, said it has basically two functions. "The board's official role in-
volves reviewing requests for grant proposals to the National Historical Publications and Records Commission for preservation and access to historical records of all types," said Lowell. The board's second role, he added, is in an advisory capacity, to promote preservation of historical documents as well as access to them. Green said he has considerable expertise in the preservation of historical documents, and hoped he would make a valuable con-
tribution to the board. "Preservation of historical documents is very important to this state. Up until 20 years ago, there really was no concerted effort in this area," Green said. "One area where this is really evident appeared during Oklahoma's territorial years. During that 18 year period, only one territorial governor kept historical records. So, for anyone trying to research that period, things that happened are sketchy," Green said.
Green also serves on the Board of Directors of the Oklahoma Historical Society, an organization that maintains museums and historical sights around the state. Green also holds memberships in the Western History Association, the Agricultural History Society, the Texas State Historical Association and the American Association of University Professors. Green has authored five books and has served on the staff of CSU since 1969.
Extension class funding to change By J. Money The budgeting for non-credit activities on campus will soon be changing from estimated to at cost funding. This move became apparent after the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education requested Central State University and all other higher institutions in the state to list all the non-credit activities conducted by the university staff or conducted in university facilities. Currently, budgeting for noncredit activities has been estimated, taking into account the amount of students enrolled in such courses and the amount of non-credit courses offered. Then,
a proportion of the institutional budget is used for an additional allotment to cover the costs. Mark Fischer, director of institutional research at CSU, said there are several categories, but that basically anything conducted by a school which involves school resources and is not offered for course credit is considered a noncredit activity. Fischer said an example would be a workshop held on the campus not offered for college credit. Press Secretary David Blakeman of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education said the regents are calling for the inventory of non-credit activities held on campus to enable them to
estimate the cost of these accurately Blakeman said up until now, the regents have been figuring the costs of extension (non-credit course) programs based on a percentage of the instruction portion of a schools budget. "There are three basic categories of activities on a college campus, instruction, extension (non-credit) and research," Blakeman said. "Instruction is always the largest amount for budgeting schools, and the estimated-costs of the other two areas have been based on a percentage of instructional costs," he added. Blakeman said the percentage
of the instructional cost used to figure the additional money for the other two programs at a school will vary, according to the size of its extension and research programs. "For example, schools such as OU and OSU have a significantly larger portion of the instructional budget as a figure for allotment to research and extension, where as a junior college might have very little of its budget alloted because of the lack of an extension or research program," Blakeman added. Fischer said that OU and OSU handle between 100 and 150 thousand students a year through their extension programs, and conse-
quently, both employ full time staffs. "CSU, however, doesn't handle that amount of students and neither do any of the smaller institutions in the state," Fischer added. Blakeman said the regents will probably monitor the amount of non-credit activities for at least three years. "Before the regents went to at cost budgeting with instructional budgets, they monitored the courses offered with costs included for three years to take into account fluxes in enrollment and other factors," Blakeman said. "I expect them to do the same here," he added.

Court decision nullifies affirmative action
By John D. Buttry This nation has achieved its success in part by trumpeting an ideal of individual merit as the basis for economic and other successes. The Supreme Court ruling on Johnson vs. • Transportation Authority nullifies that premise and creates the very discrimination it was intended to eradicate. Commentary Unlike previously upheld affirmative action laws that were intended to mitigate long-standing underrepresentation and discrimination, the Johnson
decision upholds reverse discrimination by stating that women and minorities may be promoted over better qualified white males. Men may now be passed over even where no such discrimination has existed, soley to achieve a statistically more attractive representation of females or minorities in the work force. In his dissenting opinion, Associate Justice Antonin Scalia stated the ruling converts affirmative action laws "from a guarantee that race or sex will not be the basis for employment determinations, to a guarantee that it often will." Even the affirmative action advocate
Professors mandate unneeded Glasswork To the editor: To be sure, many students on campus have felt no better than slaves to some professors on this campus. That's to be expected, in order to make decent grades you have to work hard. Some professors, however, are taking it past the bounds of required academics in order to achieve something not directly related to a specific class. Professors who take advantage of students in classroom atmospheres get away with their deeds in many instances, without so much as a student going to the dean of a college with a complaint. This idea of using students as tools to force a change or make an accomplishment is not a new one, in fact, it probably has been going on for a long time.

Consider, for instance, the professor of a freshman level class who forces his students to use creative video to support an oral presentation. The professor supplies no equipment to make or show the video, and excuses the extra requirement for the sake of building a video library in the field. Or, for instance, the instructor who assigns a term paper, due in four weeks, requiring ten sources (when only six or seven are known to be on campus). The instructor, then, tells students to research the OCU or OU libraries to find the other sources. His reason: to persuade the CSU library to bring in special books not normally used by all students. Consider the photography instructor who sends students out to photograph a headache for him, a broken electrical box cover. Students went out to shoot the picture, and after they were turned into him one was published in the Vista. The next week the box was fixed. Well, perhaps that instructor was justified. Cap'n Jack
Washington Post said this ruling appears "not to vindicate a right but to put a policy of increasing the percentage of women in the workforce into effect." The decision is demoralizing to white male workers because it says that individual skill, reliability, and excellence on the job can be cast aside if the employer decides that women or minorities in greater numbers is a more compelling goal. It produces a disincentive among white males to develop and utilize their talents in the work place if they feel they will be passed over at promotion time simply
because of gender or color. Employers using this decision will ultimately cast doubt on the qualifications of all women and minorities in a work place offering sex preferences. It will also keep better qualified, moredeserving men from attaining just economic compensation for their skills and energies. Bruce Fein of the Heritage Foundation realized Johnson's negative impact when he said the decision "moves the nation backward toward a caste system whereby the accident of gender or color circumscribes the animating hopes of greatness and elevation."

How about a working phone system? By Kathy Fletcher Associate editor I'm a reporter. OK, I'm just an aspiring reporter or in other words a CSU journalism major, and what do you think are the most important tools of the average journalism majorreporter? Well, besides the standard pencil, paper pad, typewriter (computer) and press card stuck in the old hat bit, it's a telephone. The telephone is an almost ever present extension of a reporter's ear. It's a necessary source of information, a small part of the grapevine, a link to the greater other world that exists beyond the peripheral exterior of the desk. And, what do you think the afore mentioned journalism major-reporter would do without an effective phone system? If you are really interested and
really courageous come into the Vista office and witness exhibit A - an exasperated, stressed out zombie picking up the phone and putting it back down in true robot fashion, constantly glancing at the clock and wondering just how long the source will be in or if indeed the source is still willing to be a source. I confess. It's true, I have always had this problem with embellishing the truth. What? OK, I exaggerate. But, the phones don't work, at least not all the time. They're like the weather in Oklahoma, one day they work and the next day they don't. You never know on any given day what the verdict will be. I am not aware if any other phones on campus engage in such strange and possessed behavior or if this is specifically a newspaper problem, but I'm sure that when people on the out-
side try to call into campus they too become exasperated and relegate CSU to the back burner with the "small college" syndrome that it suffers from in some sectors. To develop a positive opinion from those sectors shouldn't we give them a working phone to express it on? After spending $191,000 on a phone messaging system, shouldn't there be a working phone system to use it on? While I own the soapbox, how about the constant yelling back and forth between offices when calls come in? Transferring calls from one phone to another is nearly as impossible as reaching an outside operator or making a long distance call. In an era of ever improving communication, reporters' jobs would be easier if some of that communication were alloted to them. Hey, how about a phone? That would be nice!

Goetz free of murder charges Bernard Goetz, charged with attempted murder in the shooting deaths of four young men in a New York subway, was found by jury to be innocent Tuesday. Goetz, who claimed the Dec. 22, 1984 shootings were in self-defense because the men surrounded him and were planning to beat and rob him, was aquitted of 12 charges including second-degree attempted murder, second-degree assault and first-degree assault. His only conviction was on a third degree weapons possession charge for using an unlicensed .38 caliber revolver.

Ads won't go far enough
Settlement gives state millions
To the editor: So the first barrier preventing condom advertisements from appearing in The Vista has been crossed. Big Deal! Mere advertisement of a product deemed to be the front line defense regarding communicable venereal diseases is not going far enough. What is needed on this campus, as well as others, is promotion of the use of condoms as well. The usual hemming and hawing and general avoidance of the subject by our administrators and civic leaders could, in effect, be passing a death sentence on the inevitable sexually irresponsible. In simpler times, with sexually transmitted afflictions, all that was needed was a simple shot of penicillin, or an application of Kwell lotion, but times have changed. It is time also to change attitudes concerning these matters because of the emergence of more resistant strains of venereal diseases, and of course, AIDS. In First Lady Nancy Reagan's campaign against drug abuse, nationally recognized figures state that it is okay to say "no" to drugs. Why can't these same role models state that it is okay to say "yes" to condoms? In the situation at C.S.U., Dr. Ray Tassin, chairman of the Journalism Department, says that it could be as long as two years before advertisements for condoms will be considered for The
An agreement which involves 55 non-Oklahoma insurance companies will give the state a settlement of 125 million next year. The money, according to officials will not become available until next year because the agreement will not be final until after this month's adjournment of the legislature. The settlement would give the state a 70 million windfall and delete a 55 million dollar potential liablity. The companies had previously filed a lawsuit against the state alledging Oklahoma's premium tax discriminatory.
Atom smasher project revived Governor Bellmon named Breene Kerr of Oklahoma City and Jack Neely of Tulsa as trustees of the Oklahoma Industrial, Cultural and Public Facilities Authority which will handle the super atom-smasher project. The trust will focus only on the state's bid for the 4.4 billion super collider project. Neely, who was a supporter of Bellmon's gubernatorial race opponent David Walters and who was one of four men who made questionable loans to Walters during the campaign, was suggested as a possible trustee by Senate President Pro Tempore Rodger Randle. There is still one position open but a trustee is expected to be named for that position soon.
Officials look for horse graves As many as seven horses may have been buried after weekend cross-country races from which six horses have already been confirmed dead. A Catoosa businessman, Bill McAnally, obtained permission from U.S. Army Corp of Engineers to have the race on federal land after the purchase of an insurance policy for $1 million. The Corp is deciding whether McAnally violated the agreement by profiting from the event and then burying horses on land where the Saturday races were run. Witnesses said 15 mile and 25 mile races with jackpots up to $2,000 were organized by McAnally to be run nonstop in the 90 degree heat. McAnally, who also owns a backhoe company, then allegedly buried some horses as they died.
Vista. Why not take action now, instead of two years down the road? Why not take the issue one step further and install condom dispensing machines in the restrooms here? One common reason for not using condoms is that "you never have 'em when you need 'em." With condoms machines placed in all the restrooms here, that would no longer be a problem. Another commonly cited problem is the embarrassment experienced while purchasing condoms at the local drug store, as well as the fact that the nearest drug store is several blocks away. Again, with condom dispensing machines on campus, this would no longer be a problem. Students would not have to go to sleazy truck stops on 1-35 to make private condom purchases. It is also a fact that many departments on campus are sufferring from low budgets. Think of the revenue possible if students are persuaded to use condoms and they are available here on campus. At the University of Texas at Austin, some enterprising students run a profitable business making discreet deliveries of condoms to dorm rooms. Modernminded administrators could even set up work-study programs in this area, providing jobs for needy students and making a profit at the same time.
condom machines With condom available in restrooms and a discreet delivery service, it would also be possible for researchers to more closely study sexual habits of college students. They could determine, for instance, if liberal arts majors are more active than, say, health science majors, or if that home economics majors are more likely to purchase condoms than persons in the athletic department. With thousands, if not millions of people dying from sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS, it seems insane to act as if people, especially college students experiencing new freedom away from the restrictions of home, do not engage in sex outside of marriage. Indeed, condom advertisements would be no more offensive than advertisements for feminine hygiene products and undisputedly they would save far more lives. Condom advertisements, which are apparently not in the immediate future at this "role model of institutions," are not enough. What is needed is more public acceptance and/or awareness that many diseases can be avoided by the simple use of condoms. Perhaps the first lady could be the first to publicly admit that "Ron and I use condoms and we're not ashamed to admit it." Kevin Hunter

Firework plant never inspected Western Enterprises, Inc., an Enid fireworks plant was never inspected by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration before its explosion Monday even though the OSHA knew of the plants existence. OSHA was highly criticized after the 1985 explosion of the Aerlex plant because they had not known of the northeast Oklahoma plant's existence. Officials have not yet determined the cause of the explosion. Stephen Linn, 35, the only worker injured in the blast, was unloading fireworks into an old boxcar for storage when he began to run and shout warnings to other workers to take cover. He was struck by flying metal while running from the boxcar. It exploded when he was about 100 yards from it. Linn, the brother-in-law of Jim Burnett, president of Western Enterprises, underwent surgery Monday night at Bass Memorial Hospital for a compound fracture of his right leg. N
To the Editor: The Publication's Board recommendation to allow contraceptive advertising in the school paper will be applauded by progressives at Central State. The recommendation is based on a Supreme Court ruling legalizing contraceptive advertising. Meanwhile, progressives anxiously await President Lillard's approval of the recommendation. The Publications Board's recommendation represents one of the most aggressive and responsible school policies or recommendations in years. The recommendation assures students that the board's central focus is geared towards responsible representation of the interests of its readers. AIDS has become the deadly catalyst that has prompted fundamentalists to reevaluate the
evils of sex education. While some fundamentalists may not like the implications of contraceptive advertising, holding the belief that such advertising promotes premarital sex, they cannot deny its benefits. According to a public relations class survey conducted last semester at Central State, three fourths of all students polled admitted they have had premarital sex. The same survey reflected that nearly thirty percent of those polled do not use any form of birth control. It's hard to imagine that a startling thirty percent of those polled represent uninformed individuals who do not understand the significance of birth control. Doesn't this thirty percent realize that birth control is necessary to control deadly sexually transmit-
as well as unwanted pregnancy? "Condoms are the best way to control AIDS," noted Ann Stewart, head nurse of the Student Health center in last week's issue of the Vista. According to Stewart, condoms reduce your chance of catching AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases such as herpes and veneral warts. Moreover,the Publications Board's recommendation expresses an interest in student health, and is not an exploitation of premarital sex. What better way to utilize a school paper than to inform its readers how to maintain good health. Approval of the measure by Dr. Lillard only makes good sense. Danny Collins

Student Writer In June of 1981, the Blessed Virgin Mary reportedly appeared to six young people in the communist village of Medjugorje, Yugoslavia. The children say that the Virgin Mary has appeared to them daily since that time. According to these children, the purpose of Mary's visits is to bring an urgent message to the world to reconcile with God through prayer. Muriel Herbrand, a retired physical education teacher at CSU, became interested in the children after following the story of the vision of Mary. In December 1985, she and Betty Summers, a retired social worker, along with seven others, decided to take a pilgrimage to Medjugorje to learn more about the children and their visons. The six children, whose ages
ranged for 10 to 16 when they first saw the Virgin Mary, have been given ten secrets which they will reveal in the future. "Each of the children have been examined by various doctors and all were found to be normal children," Herbrand said. During her visit to the small village, Herbrand was able to see and talk, by means of an interpreter, to the children. "My life has really been changed by this experience," she said. She said that the children are not unusual but are from simple homes and have not been affected by the attention they have recieved. Herbrand was told that the government was very disturbed by the stories of the visions and tried to downplay publicity. "At one time the state officials refused to let the people assemble on the hillside where the Virgin Mary first appeared," said Herbrand.
"So the people simply moved to another location and the government finally gave up." "Visiting a communist country is definitely different,"said Herbrand. "We felt as though we were constantly watched and the tourist bureau knew our whereabouts at all time," she said. The first trip to Medjugorje by Herbrand and Summers was not without incident. They arrived at the airport but their lugagage didn't. "We spent the entire seven days wearing the same clothes but we really didn't mind," said Herbrand. The village of Medjugorje has an approximate population of 400 and has no hotels or restaurants. "The accomodations are very basic so visitors must stay with local families who gladly accept their guests," Herbrand said. Herbrand and Summers en-
joyed their three visits to Medjugorje and are contemplating a fourth trip in December. "We have become very good friends with the people that we stayed with and feel like a part of their family," Herbrand said.

Beatles fascination continues with CD release By Mike Clark The Beatles stunned the music world in the summer of 1967 with the introduction of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." Today, the fascination continues with the release of a compact disc version of the Fab Four classic. It's not that "Sgt. Pepper" was the Beatles' best work. Most critics feel it wasn't even the best album of 1967. The importance of "Sgt. Pepper" lies in the progressiveness it exhibits and the spirit it embodies. In 1967, four years after they had burst on the scene, the Beatles had produced eight albums and set themselves as pop music's most creative group. Their evolution through "Help," "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" showed both an increasing maturity and adventurousness. Who would have guessed the giant step "Sgt. Pepper" was about to take? The album's concept belonged to Paul McCartney and it was he who sang lead on most tracks. Still, it was the contribution of all the Beatles along with their pro-
ducer George Martin that made "Sgt. Pepper" what it is. Although primitive by today's technological standards, the album was recorded on variablespeed, four-track machines. There were no synthesizers, no harmonizers, and yet each song managed to maintain a uniqenesseither lyrically, harmonically or sonically. Often called the album's cornerstone, "A Day In The Life" was pieced together from two different songs, one written by McCartney and the other by John Lennon. The production was accompanied by 42 classical musicians instructed to play calculated, chaotic sounds. The legendery final note was created by simultaneously striking keys on three pianos and then elevating the recording volume as the note ran out. McCartney even playfully added a dog whistle to the final seconds. On "Within You Without You," penned by George Harrison, the instrumentation was drawn entirely from Indian heritage, thus combining Eastern and Western culture.
Ringo Starr was the lead singer on "With A Little Help From My Friends," a work on which his bandmates can be heard singing along in addition to their harmonies. And classics "Lovely Rita," "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and "Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning" contained sound effects and noises so bizarre that even barnyard-animal sounds were included. Some critics panned "Sgt. Pep-
per" for being superficial, and others called it dopey and pretentious. The majority, though, looked into it and saw its expressiveness and its revelation of a different time. It allowed pop music to be an art form and be taken as a serious medium from which one could view society's reflections. For those of us living in today's world, a trip back with "Sgt. Pepper" reveals an age of exploration, beginnings, and few limits.
CSU hosts student council seminar By Robi Parker
The Oklahoma Association of Student Council met on campus this week to complete a Basic Leadership Workshop. There are approximately 220 high school students from all over Oklahoma attending the workshop. The students are divided into councils and each council creates their own community, even deciding on a town and highschool name. They then solve the problems that arise in that community.
The problem solving they are required to do during the workshop includes what to do if the school is vandalized or if the whole first floor of your school building is flooded. The directors of the workshop are Denise Vaniadis, Suzanne Lollman and T.C. Hardesty. "The students must really work together to solve these problems" said Lollman. "The students have grown and learned new leadership styles that they can take back with them to their own high schools."
'Witches' confusing, acting superb By Kathy Fletcher
Associate Editor "The Witches of Eastwick" is not a movie that lends itself to an easy review. To tell the truth "Witches" is not a movie that lends itself to easy understanding. Regardless of this reviewers lack of understanding, the performances, I must say, were superb. Movie Review
First and foremost is Jack Nicholson as Darryl Van Horn, which is an alias for the Devil, and a more perfect Devil would be hard to find. Just like John Wayne was the ultimate in cowboy, Nicholson is the ultimate in Satan. He simply has the eyebrows for it. His acting is wonderfully wicked and delightfully devilish as he seduces the witches, much the
same way he seduces the screen. Nicholson is indeed a lucky devil in that he has all the humorous and sarcastic one-liners that add a certain sweet tasting spice to the script dialogue. Next in line is Cher, once again proving her acting ability, as widowed sculptor and Eastwick witch Alexandra Medford. Cher is a screen magnet, drawing audience attention without even trying to. She has an alluring dark haired, dark eyed exotic gypsy look that cries for attention, as does her throaty and distinctive voice. Alex is the first of the witches to have real face to face contact with Van Horn and the meeting is a clash of the minds, talents and wits that is the breeding ground of pure entertainment. That's what happens when you get two screen magnets together in one scene. The result is just short of perfection.
Susan Sarandon portrays Jane Spofford, a frustrated recently divorced cellist and straight-laced music teacher who after one lesson from Van Horn becomes a wild eyed, wild haired, wild witch. The transformation is quick and Sarandon pulls it off with style. Last in the witches coven is Sukie Ridgemont, a gossip columnist for the "Eastwick Word" and abandoned mother of six. Michelle Pfeiffer takes this role and proves that she can act and look good as well. Sukie is the last to be seduced by Van Horn to the visible dismay of the two previously seduced witches, for each thought him exclusively her own. It is never clear how or why these three friends gain their supernatural powers. I do know that it is on the evening that. Jane's divorce is final and all three are free of their marriages that their power grows.
They long for men because there are none suitable for them in Eastwick. As they discuss their vision of the ideal man, the camera cuts to the arrival of Van Horn. They are conjuring up their dream man in the form of the Devil. The ensuing problems that develop from this spell are sometimes humorous, sometimes gory and sometimes seriously romantic. It's as if "Witches" can't decide which genre it would like to follow — comedy, horror or romance. A mixture of all three is a little hard for the audience to comprehend. The movie, regardless of any problems, is a good one simply based on the caliber of the acting. In one scene Van Horn tells Alex, "The world keeps growing — you feed it, it doesn't feed you." And as far as entertainment goes Nicholson has always fed us well.

Means aims for U.S. presidency Photo and story by Kevin Hunter
Student Writer The dancers blazed with the colors and dress of past times. The dances were thousands of years old. In contrast, a young boy wearing buckskins and feathers carried a ghetto blaster and wore beaded tennis shoes. He searched until he spotted a man dressed in his native Souix clothing. Smiling, the boy ran to him and asked,"Is it true that you're running for president?" Russell Means, 48, from Porcupine, South Dakota, is currently on the campaign trail, vying for the presidential nomination on the Libertarian Party ticket. As a cofounder of the American Indian ' Movement, Means has a long record of political involvement. The most publicized was the occupation of Wounded Knee, South Dakota in 1973. He was involved in several other events less publicized prior to that, such as the capture of the Mayflower II in 1970, the occupation of Mt. Rushmore in 1971, and the attempted takeover of the BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs) that same year. However, Means' approach to politics is changing. His current presidential bid is his first venture into politics not involved exclusively with Indians. In the time since Wounded Knee, he has visited every continent seeking support for his people from both sides of the Iron Curtain, but said all governments he spoke with would have required his people to compromise their values in order to receive support. Through working with the Libertarian Party on Indian rights issues, he said he discovered the similarities between their values and those of his people. Means presented different ideas than those of what he calls the "demopublicans." Stating that Canada is the only place that Americans can feel safe outside of this country, he pointed out that
there are no U.S. troops stationed there and the border is 75 percent open. Therefore, he proposed opening up the border with Mexico to allow more commerce between the two countries. He added that as many as 10,000 people die each year trying to cross the border into the U.S. Means believes that if the profit motive were to be removed by legalizing drugs, they wouldn't be a problem. Citing the prohibition era, he said there was no criminal class in America before alcohol was made illegal. "Without profit", he said, "cocaine and marijuana do not present a problem." He said that cigarettes and alcohol scared him more than drugs. Means also said he feels there is too much secrecy in U.S. government. He said the first thing he would do if elected would be to establish an open government. He said also that to curb the power of government agencies such as the CIA and the FBI, he would require them to live up to the bill of rights and, if required to do so, they would wither on the vine. On the topic of AIDS, he felt that the government shouldn't be in the medical research business and he would get rid of the laws disallowing the private individual from doing research in that area. He said this country currently patterns its medical approach after France, which is a socialist count r y , prohibiting medical breakthroughs comporable to those made by Pasteur and Salk, which were not the result of goverment studies. Means added that he thought the government should not be in the education business, either. He said that if all income taxes were eliminated, families could afford to send their kids to private schools and the Department of Education could be done away with. Means said only the rich can afford to attend private schools now, while the poor have to attend public schools. Means labelled the U.S. an

isolationist country because of military and trade policies. His solution would be to call all troops currently stationed abroad back home and to drop all trade barriers. "We wouldn't have problems with Cuba and Nicaraugua", he said, "if we had continued free trade with them." The arms race, he said, is merely a vehicle of government to insure large defense spending in the
military and industrial complex. "It is they, not us," he said, "who need arms control." When he was young, Means was told that in America anyone could grow up to be president. Speaking in reference to Abraham Lincoln, he said that he lives in a log cabin, so he guessed that made him presidential material. He said he brings action, not just a lot of debate about freedom as with the 'clemopublicans,' that
even the press is tired of reporting about them unless they are caught with their pants down. In closing, he said that every revolutionary knows that it only takes one percent of a country's population to start a revolution and with one half percent of the population represented by Indians added to the one half percent represented by Libertarians, the revolution is on.
Art museum offers musical nights in June By Deborah Moseley
Student Writer On Saturday nights this June the Oklahoma Museum of Art (OMA) will present their annual outdoor concert series on the museum grounds. The public is invited to bring a picnic basket and a blanket to enjoy a variety of local musical talent. CSU's "Civilized Tribe" opened OMA's 1987 season with dixieland jazz. CSU radio station, KCSC, recorded the second live concert, featuring the baroque sound of the "Oklahoma Brass Ensemble." "The festivity of the music within this beautiful setting makes
me feel like I'm back in the Renaissance period — all we need are the costumes!" said Bonnie Fowler, 1987 CSU graduate, at the second concert. "Now this is what I call 'civilized' dining!" The progression of diners and dinners is equally entertaining to watch, according to an OMA Staff member. With each concert the picnickers establish more elaborate cuisine. They usually begin by bringing their fast food favorites. By the end of the series they bring table linens, floral centerpieces and a gourmet meal with everything from soup to nuts and fine wines
to accompany it. There is still another chance to take advantage of this state of the art picnicking, people-watching opportunity. On June 27th OMA will close the concert series with "The Nichols Hills Band," which features golden oldies and current tunes. OMA's "Saturday Evening live" offers people inexpensive summer entertainment. OMA members and children are admitted for free. Non-members are asked to donate $2.00 at the gate. The gate opens at 6:00 P.M. for picnickers and the music begins at 7:00 P.M.

Reality finally Infests sports By Mary Butler Bruce Jenner, an Olympic decathlon champion said it like this, "An athlete has such a narrow view of life he does not know reality." Emil Zatupek, a Czechoslovakian Olympic distance runner furthered the point, "Sportsmen are like children, they don't know anything about life." Many would agree that the sports world sometimes seems to be nothing but a Disneyland for athletes. But many would also agree that this Disneyland is a wonderful world. It may appear at first to be a box, a shelter from reality. But a closer look reveals an incredible spectrum of emotions, drama and adventure. Not only are all the elements of life found in the sports world, but they're magnified and glorified. An overstatement, perhaps? Remember that lump in your throat and pride in your heart the first time you heard, "Do you believe in miracles?" after the United States hockey team won the gold medal at the 1980 Olympics? Or how about the sickening feeling in your stomach when the athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics were shot and killed? I'll never forget Jim Mckay's solemn words, "They're all gone." And I've just scratched the surface. "If you watch a drama, after five minutes you know the guy's going to get the girl or not get the girl, or whatever. In sports the end is unknown. Sports is life itself, and that's why I never get tired of it," actor James Caan was quoted. Unfortunately for all of us, sports appears to be turning into a drama. Actually drama's not the right word. It's more like a soap opera. It all started when a man named Al Campanis, a Dodger-blue executive embarrassed himself and his team with a bunch of racist comments about blacks not being able manage major league baseball teams. All the sudden everybody has to throw their two cents in. Disneyland was turned into an arena for racism and it appears to be a two-sided bout. A couple of Chicago sportswriters and a pair of Detroit Piston basketball players have decided to criticize Larry Bird, Mr. Boston Celtic himself. It seems that Mr. Bird is not at all as good as we thought he was. His success is not a result of hustle and hard work, he's simply over-rated because he's white. A while back, I saw a movie called Brian's Song. In case you missed the flick, it's about a couple of football players, Gale Sayers and Brian Piccolo, a black guy and a white guy, who get stuck rooming together when their team traveled. The story's centered around their relationship, how they grow to love and care about each other. Tragically, Piccolo is struck down by cancer. The disease claims the life of Sayer's friend and teammate. If you haven't seen the movie, you should. The devotion and love Sayers displayed for his friend is incredible. Call me ignorant, naive or just plain stupid, but I thought that's what sports was all about. Somehow I thought racism just couldn't exist in Disneyland. The whole thing reminds me of a bout I had with the tooth fairy, yes, the tooth fairy. I remember the day I put my last molar under my pillow. For the next week I hoped and prayed and waited for the fairy. By the time the second week had arrived, my tooth still under the pillow, I started to face reality. The doubts started to grow. What would a fairy want with an old tooth anyway? After the third week, I think I took a significant step toward adulthood. I tossed the tooth and accepted the fact that there wasn't a tooth fairy. And so it seems in the wonderful world of sports. Maybe the magic was a fraud after all. Reality's creeping in. The doubts are growing. It's just about time to toss the tooth.
Sooner State Games boast grit and glitter Over 12,000 athletes expected to compete By Mary Butler Sports editor
The 1987 Sooner State Games, a multi-event amateur sports festival modeled after the United States Olympic Festival, will open Friday, June 26 at 7 p.m. with an extravagant, entertainment filled opening ceremony at the Myriad Convention Center in Oklahoma City. The festival, parading over 12,000 competitors from across the state, is scheduled for June 25-29. Offering competition in 40 different sports, the events will be held at venues in Oklahoma City, Edmond, Norman, Moore, and Little River State Park.
Vista Sports The opening ceremony will involve all participants and boasts a mini-display of Olympic Game pagentry. An olympic torch run and a parade of athletes will open the event which also involves an All-College Orchestra and AllCollege Choir. Oklahoma's first display of indoor fireworks will highlight the evening which Sooner Games promotors have dubbed an "all new entertainment extravaganza for the entire family." This festival marks the fifth year Oklahoma has sponsored a state competition. Thirty-six other states sponsor a summer sports festival and some offer a winter competition.
Oklahoma was the fourth state to organize their games, opening a festival in 1983 on the CSU campus. The initial festival involved 3,000 athletes. The purpose of the games is to "promote olympic ideals, things like sportmanship," said Trisha Hadlock, director of promotions for the games. "We encourage all ages to participate and stress that the important thing is not winning but taking part," she said. The Sooner Games also hope to provide a prestigious, world class platform for amateur athletes to display their talents. In addition, the games could help more talented athletes take their initial steps on the long, arduous road to the Olympic Games. "The games aren't exactly a stepping stone for the Olympics," said Hadlock, "but they do provide an excellent opportunity for an athlete to be chosen," she said. "Last year a college baseball player was invited to the National Sports Festival after participating in the Oklahoma event." Soccer, basketball and softball are the most popular of the 40 sports. Soccer, because of the large number of competitors draws the most spectators. "There's not one single sport that dosen't draw a crowd," said Hadlock. Track and field is the most popular individual sport, while gymnastics, martial arts events, and boxing also attract a large number of spectators. Admission to all venues is $1. The ticket allows the spectator to view all the events in that area.

Also being held are rhythmic gymnastics, roller skating/hockey, rowing, rugby, shooting, swimming (age group), swimming masters, table tennis, taekwondo, and a ten kilometer run.

Broncho program produces sports trainers By Mary Butler Sports editor
Jon Jon "Skyhook" Thomas straddled the bright yellow center line. As he rocked on his heels and toes thoughts of trophies, all-stars and championships flashed in his head. The toss, the tip, the ball hit the floor. Thomas raced to the basket. The husky forward glanced to his left and picked up a perfect feed just outside the lane. A step, a leap and a 360-degree spin later, the ball rolled off his fingers, gently bumped the glass and slid through the net.
Jeff McKibbin
It was a picture of grace as he hung in the air, but when his foot touched the court the image was spoiled. He rolled on the court, curled in a ball, clutching his leg and crying. His season was over. Coaches are crushed, teams crumble and players are shattered. It's a tough task picking up the pieces, putting the player back on the court and keeping the team healthy but it's what an athletic trainer's job is all about. CSU is in the business of producing athletic trainers. Under the direction of Jeff Mckibbin, CSU's head athletic trainer, the program provides
students with an opportunity to gain the clinical hours necessary to become a certified trainer. Mckibbin and his student staff are responsible for the preventative and rehabilitative care of over 250 CSU athletes in 11 varsity sports. The staff members are assigned to specific teams. Some travel with the varsity squads, others are on hand every home event. Six students were involved in the 1986-87 program, Tammy Bader, Kathleen Tuohy, Kyle Fields, Jeff Jones, Lane O'berg and Greg Harrell. Mckibbin, the principle instruc-
for for the CSU program, is now in his sixth year as head trainer. He is certified by both National and Oklahoma Athletic Trainers Associations. The Duke, Oklahoma native worked his way through college as a student trainer in the Broncho athletic department, earning both a Bachelor and Master's degree in business. Prior to joining the CSU faculty, Mckibbin taught Physical Education and was assistant basketball and football coach in the Deer Creek School System for two years. He retuned to CSU in 1980 as Head Trainer.

Christian sports groups chase challenge Sports editor "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race," Paul muttered as he stumbled into the locker room. Obviously drained by the struggles he overcame throughout the contest, he reached for a towel to sponge the beads of sweat from his brow. As his eyes escaped from behind the towel, he continued, "I have kept the faith." "I have kept the faith?" The fight, the race, the faith? Excuse me Paul, just what sort of competition are your involved in and what exactly are your goals? In a quiet, confident manner he replied, "I press on toward the goal to win the piize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Paul is not the only one fighting, running and keeping the faith. Groups of student athletes across the state are playing the same game and pressing toward the same goals. An organization called the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, (FCA), provides the platform. The purpose of FCA, according to the orgainzation's publications, is to "present to athletes and coaches, and all whom they influence, the challenge and adventure of receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, serving him in their relationships and in the fellowship of the church." In Oklahoma, more than 400 athletes from 20 colleges, including CSU, are involved in the program which was founded 33 years ago by a student-coach in Norman. The backbone of the FCA ministries is their "huddles," meetings where athletes gather to talk about their concerns, doubts, fears, feelings and faith. Over 2,000 "huddles" in junior highs, high schools, colleges and universities have been established throughout the nation to provide an opportunity for teammates to
"share fellowship and their commitment to Jesus Christ around a common bond of sports". "Huddles" emphasize bible study, prayer and discussion. Thru these meetings, the organization strives to strengthen and enhance the moral, mental and spiritual aspects of the athletes and coaches of American. In addition, FCA encourages outreach. "Evangelism through fellowship" is how the organization describes its effort to reach into the "mainstream of our nation to positively influence society." CSU sponsors "huddles" for both men and women athletes and encourages participation of nonathletes who are interested in recreation and sport. Francis Baxter, CSU's mens' and womens' tennis coach, sponsors the men's group, while Dr. Gerry Pinkston, CSU's softball coach, leads the women. College and university "huddles" such as CSU's group, have an additional function, said Betty Bowman, a spokesperson for FCA's state office in Edmond. "One of the main goals of the ministries of active college and university "huddles" is to provide speakers and leaders for junior high and high school "huddles". We need them to reach out to youngsters," she said. "We also rely on the leadership of college groups for our summer conferences. The college staff leads small groups of students. Their leadership and examples are extremely important," Bowman added. FCA summer conferences are held throughout the nation and are geared to a variety of sports. The purpose of the camps are to provide an another means of spiritual growth and physical adventure for athletes. Along with "huddles," FCA sponsors a variety of programs to futher their goal of "evangelism

Dr. Gerry Pinkston
Softball coach leads teams By Mary Butler
Dr. Gerry Pinkston, a CSU Professor of Health and Physical Education and head women's softball coach ,has sponsored the Lady Broncho Fellowship of Christian Athletes for twelve years. Pinkston, who also guided the CSU women's tennis and volleyball teams before committing herself to the softball program, was named FCA Coach of the Year in 1985. Her goals for CSU's "huddle" reflect the organizations basic purpose, but puts its function into sharper focus. "FCA is an organization which helps athletes keep their priorities in a proper order. Sports
sometimes tends to bring out the worst in people, through things like bad sportsmanship, cheating and temper tantrums. "Through our group, I hope these athletes will be influenced in such a way that these things will not exist in their personal competition. Hopefully the attitudes of these athletes will carry over and influence both their teammates and opponents," Pinkston said. This past spring, under Pinkstons guidance, the group also put into action FCA's practice of "evangelism through fellowship." The "huddle" spent a portion of their meetings reaching out to CSU's women's athletic teams through small pro-
grams which included personal testimonies and gospel presentations. After wrapping up a rewarding year of FCA "huddles" as well as another successful softball season, Pinkston headed to Colorado Springs, Colo. The CSU mentor was chosen by Athletes in Action, an evangelical Christian athletic organization, to coach a team of top calliber college softball players on a four week tour of Sweden and Finland. Pinkston will guide the squad through the Midsummer Festival softball competition in Leksand, Sweden, the Scandinavian Championships in Helsinki, Finland and an international tournament in Stockholm.

Advisor role confusing for students
,
By Jane Vesper Student Writer The role of academic advisement offices on college campuses differs in the minds of students, faculty members and administrators. Dr. Donna Guinn, CSU academic advisor for the College of Liberal Arts said, "After reading professional literature and attending professional meetings on the subject of academic advisement, you realize that dissatisfaction with various areas of advisement is almost a nationwide concern." Guinn and Dr. Richard Mitchell, CSU professor of education, conducted a study and published an article in the NACADA (National Academic Advising Association) Journal in September 1986 dealing with the various expectations people have of academic advisors. Conclusions for the report were based on an Advisement Role and Responsibility Inventory which was administered to students, faculty and administrators on the CSU campus. The random respondents to the inventory were asked what degree of responsibility the academic advisor should have in various areas. "From this inventory it was
learned that the academic advisor, full-time professional or part-time faculty member cannot be all things to all people on campus," Guinn and Mitchell stated in the paper. "These three groups' different expectations from those of advisors are indicative of the problems." "Based on conversations with faculty, advisors and students," said Guinn, "it became evident that there were different ideas about what advisors ought to be doing. Reviews of professional literature and attending professional meetings further verified this." "Student retention probably more than anything has brought academic advisement to national attention in recent years," Guinn said. "American College Testing (ACT) published a study several years ago that linked advisement with student retention, said Guinn. "As campuses became more concerned with retention they looked at their advisement services more closely." Guinn also stated that CSU seemed to be ahead of its time in this area and has been examining its services for several years. "We have frequently been used as a
model for other schools when developing their advisement centers," she said. CSU has had computerized enrollment since approximately 1969, at which time continuous enrollment was also implemented. "Previously enrollment was conducted almost at a designated hour on a specific day." said Guinn. This is also when CSU engaged full-time professional advisors. "The attitudes toward advisement services were similar across the country, no matter whether there was a specific advisement center, if the duties were performed by professors, or a combination of the two," said Guinn. "After looking at the system and investigating the attitudes of various groups, we've decided that just maybe the problem wasn't in advising. Maybe it had to do with the expectations people had of the advisors," she said. A brochure is now being given to all new students and faculty members introducing the academic advisors. The brochure also outlines ten responsibilities that the student can expect from the advisor. Some of the responsibilities include concern for each student's
individual welfare, accurate academic information, assistance with selection of options in academic programs and scheduling of courses. The brochure also points out responsibilities that the student has to the advisor. These areas include a consideration of their own educational goals, being familiar with requirements and policies and accepting responsibilities for educational choices and decisions. Guinn said that a continuing effort is being made to address the situation and with a cooperative effort, realistic expectations and needs will be recognized on all academic levels.

Leesa Cornett
From Staff Reports Two CSU coeds were winners in the Miss Oklahoma Scholarship Pageant Saturday in Tulsa. CSU student Leesa Cornett was crowned Miss Oklahoma during the state pageant at the Mabee Center. A vocal music education major from Newcastle, Cornett won $15,000 in scholarships, a fur coat, pageant wardrobe, and the use of car and an apartment in Tulsa for a year. She will compete later this year in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in the Miss America Scholarship Pageant. This was Cornett's third trip to the state pageant. As a senior in high school, she won the Miss Warr Acres title. Last year she competed as Miss Tulsa State Fair and was a top ten finalist. A vocalist, she is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Cornett, Newcastle. Miss CSU of Edmond, Heather Cormack, was a preliminary swimsuit winner Thursday night in the week-long pageant. A vocalist also, Cormack is well known in musical theater in the Oklahoma City area. It was Cormack's second trip to the pageant. She competed previously as Miss Midwest City. She received a scholarship and a trophy for the preliminary win.
Club uses business assets By Deborah Moseley Student Writer CSU Collegiate Entrepreneur Ray Dupont has uncovered hidden assets in the College of Business he feels should be available to all students and faculty. "It's criminal," said Ray. "Most students have no idea these exist." The assets—resources and networks for entrepreneurs—are growing annually in CSU's focus toward small business. Further investigation indicates these assets are available to all, but most people don't know how to access them and to apply them to their needs. The entrepreneur creates his own destiny, a qualification not limited to students enrolled in the College of Business, according to CSU Professor Frank Edwards. Edwards added that the entrepreneur must have desire, determination and dedication to chart his own uncommon career path and to avoid the traditional corporation track.
"This 'self-directed' personality is found in the artist, writer, musician, scientist, nurse or teacher as well as the business person," Dupont said. "The business of planning a career strategy is everybody's business! Being 'selfdirected' does not mean the entrepreneur must go it alone. "Special problems facing collegiate entrepreneurs include the lack of contacts, a lack of experience, an incomplete understanding of the subtleties of doing business, and a credibility obstacle," said Dupont. On June 24 the CSU Entrepreneur club will travel to Wichita State University in Kansas to meet with the National Association of Collegiate Entrepreneurs (ACE), which brings together the resources and information of the world's entrepreneurial-minded students. Any student interested in taking this field trip should contact Ray Dupont (340-1313) or Deborah Moseley (340-0167) for further information.
