Regents to decide tuition-aid changes

State regents' public hearing slated at CSU By Keith Purtell Student Writer The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education will hold a public hearing on proposed changes in admission standards for the nine regional universities June 26 at Central State University, according to Jeanie Edney, director of communications for the regents. The changes in admission standards will be discussed at the hearing at 10 a.m., Edney said. Although the meeting will be mostly discussion, some of the items on the agenda are "action items" and may be decided on, she said. "There will also be discussion of proposed changes in the Oklahoma Tution Aid Grant program," Edney said, "admission standards at two state medical colleges, fee waiver scholarships, concurrent enrollment by high school students, and proposed changes in policy regarding nonresidents, and the dependants of P.O.W.'s, M.I.A.'s and firefighters." At noon there will be a joint meeting with the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges, which is the body that directly oversees CSU, Edney said. The meeting at CSU is part of the regents' practice of holding their functions at different schools around the state. All nine regents will attend, as will the chancellor and several of the vice chancellors.

By Kamal Mazlan Staff Writer Central State University students applying under the Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant program will know by the end of June if they will be eligible for aid this fall, Student Financial Aid Director Sherri Hancock said. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education will hold a a public hearing on a proposed policy change to the OTAG program that would qualify more students for tuition grants. The hearing is planned at 2 p.m. June 26 in the University Center. The regents are expected to further examine the proposal at the scheduled hearing and to possibly vote on the policy during

their meeting that same day. In their last meeting June 2, the regents proposed to increase the amount of the award current program participants will receive because most state colleges and universities are raising their tuition and fees for the 1989-90 academic year. At the meeting, Oklahoma Higher Education Chancellor Hans Brisch said the state Legislature had approved a $2 million increase in the OTAG program and a $1.5 million hike for the regents' academic scholars. Brisch said the increased funding for 1989-90 could mean an additional 2,485 students statewPlease see Tuition aid on page 8. -

Chapel dismissal upheld in ruling By Bretta Barritt Staff Writer The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges on June 15 upheld in a unanimous vote the termination of former Physical Plant Director Nimrod Chapel by Central State University officals. The vote was made in a closed session at the State Capital Complex in the regents' regular monthly meeting. The ruling exhausts all administrative procedures concerning Chapel, said Scott Fern, legal

counsel for the regents and the six regional universities. At issue at the board's hearing was whether the charge of insubordination as grounds for Chapel's termination was justified, said board member Linda Grantham. "Yes, there was enough information to support the insubordination, enough that there was no doubt," Grantham said. "The board voted unanimously." Chapel's attorney, Robert Nigh, had argued that the admi-

Women consider Pill risks Karen, a 21-year-old college student had an appointment to see her gynecologist in February. She was planning to ask for a prescription for the Pill, but just before her appointment a news report linked oral contraceptives to breast cancer. She asked to be fitted for a diaphragm instead. Was she over reacting? Or Smart? No one can say for sure. Some cancer specialists are warning women to be careful about taking the Pill. Most gynecologists agree, however, the benefits outweigh the risks. Carolyn, a former CSU student who has been on the Pill for five years says, "Every kind of medicine has side effects. Risks are always at stake, but the

Pill has worked great for me and I will continue to use it." The controversy began when an advisory com-

mittee to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) met early this year to evaluate three new studies that showed an increased incidence of breast cancer among women who took the Pill. "There is an increased risk of breast cancer in Pill users, no matter how long they have been on it," stated Dr. Samuel Shapiro, professor of epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health. Of 834 women he surveyed, about half of whom had breast cancer, the Pill appeared to cause double

the normal risk of developing breast cancer before age 45. The cancer risk seemed to increase with length of the Pill use: Women on the Pill for 10 or more years were estimated to be four times more likely to develop breast cancer than those who had Please see Pill on page 8.

nistration's disciplinary review hearing for Chapel on March 28 was a violation of due process. He said the group of administrators who conducted the internal investigation concerning Chapel was the same group that held the hearing and made the recomendation to fire Chapel. But Fern said Blanche Washington, director of personnel, made the recommendation to CSU President Bill Lillard, and she was not involved in the internal investigation.

Nigh also said that based upon the evidence Chapel presented at the disciplinary review hearing, the decision to terminate Chapel was "arbitrary and capricious." Fern claimed Chapel had three opportunities to provide the university with the information officials requested prior to his disciplinary review hearing, and he had refused. Fern said Chapel did supply information on the day of the review hearing, but his prior Please see Chapel on page 8.

What would you recommend to make the CSU campus more attractive?

Randy Anderson, journalism, senior

Chelle Hatcher, undecided major, freshman

Trey Smith, liberal arts major, freshman

"I think, if CSU is going to have as many students as OU and OSU, our campus needs to look as good as theirs. We need trees, shrubs, a fountain in front of the library, extra parking, resurfacing in parking lots which now exist, and most of all, we need to take out the parking meters, which make CSU look more like a shopping center instead of a university."

"I think that CSU needs to work harder on the ground work around the campus in order for it to become more attractive. It would help catch the public's eye."

"I think the dormitory floors should be reified. As far as work on the campus, it would be nice to have more bushes in the open areas. Also, some of the doors on the dorms are badly in need of repair."

Squeeze student-loan deadbeats By Larry Floyd Editor in chief

Like the inevitable death and taxes, the deadbeats of society seem always among us. The deadbeats referred to here are the delinquents and defaulters on students loans who caused the announcement this month by U.S. Secretary of Education Lauro Cavazos of plans fon corrective and punitive actions against colleges and universities with student loan default rates above 20 percent. The actions against these schools include limitation, suspension or termination of the federal student loan program beginning Jan. 1, 1991.

lunch—in education and elsewhere. The federal government's plan to curtail loans at schools with high default rates will pressure these schools to take action to see that the loans are collected. Loan officials at Central State University may be right in their claims that the state regents are charged with the responsibility of seeing that the student loans are collected, but faced with a cut in federal student loan monies, CSU

and other state schools will be more inclined to work with the regents to devise a system to collect these loans. But more is at stake here than just ensuring future cash flow for more loans. What value are we attaching to the privilege of all Americans to obtain a college education if we allow so many to abuse this privilege by not repaying their student loans? After their school days are over, the

Editorial Although it is a shame to see future student loans jeopardized by these actions, this plan will ultimately bring much-needed pressure to bear on former students whose time to pay the piper has come. It's a move in the right direction by the federal government and should be welcomed by everyone in the Oklahoma higher education system. If future funds for student loans are to be available, past recipients of these loans must replenish the supply of student loans by paying back what they have borrowed. The huge federal deficit heralds the end of the government-provided free

same individuals who once went to the financial aid office with hat in hand must be obligated to return to this office with checkbook in hand. If student borrowers do not feel this obligation from all of us, our eductional system and privileges are so diminished. Everyone in the Oklahoma higher education system should applaud this move to restore continuity and respect to the student loan program.

"The Clark Terry Central State University Jazz Camp” comes to CSU June 25-30. Camp Director Clark Terry has played with the Tonight Show Band, the Duke Ellington Orchestra, produced and performed on more than 20 albums, and worked with Quincy Jones. The camp will consist of classroom instruction in combo, big band, improvisation and master classes for students with their chosen instruments. Nightly concerts, featuring Rich Matteson and a 20-piece band, will be held in Mitchell Hall and are open to the public. CSU students with a validated ID will addmitted free, adult tickets are $5 and senior citizen tickets are $3. Leslie Jenks, who retired Friday his position as custodian in the Communication Building, said he wanted to express his gratitude to everybody who has been so good to him all these years, especially after his wife and brother died. He said, "I just really appreciate everything everybody's done, and I want to say thank-you." "Membership has its privileges," and membership in Central State University's Alumni Association is no exception to the rule. Discounts on car rentals and special trips are now available with the blue and bronze Alumni MasterCard, say alumni association officials. The unique credit card has "Central State University Alumni" printed in blue and bronze and are available to all 4,500 members, Assistant Director of Alumni Affairs William Kent Todd said. "The proceeds from the cards will be used to support alumni activities," Todd said. "New graduates receive a complimentary membership for one year and can purchase a life membership for $90 within the year," he said. For more information about Alumni Association MasterCards, contact the alumni office at 341-2980, Ext. 2421. A new club has been established by the Central State University Alumni Association to generate funds for membership recruitment and update alumni information, said alumni officials. "The Bronze and Blue Club has been established to supplement operations of the CSU Alumni Association, advertise the association and recruit new members," William Kent Todd said. "Bronze and Blue members donate $25 or more annually," Todd said. In addition, members pay a $20 annual fee, he said. Todd said the new funds will also be used to establish satellite chapters and help finance homecoming activities. Todd said Bronze and Blue members will be recognized in the Alumni Newsletter, on the Honor Roll of Donors and on a commemorative plaque at the Alumni office in the University Center.

gotiations with the company. In January of this year the regents had accepted a recommendation that the six regional universities enroll with the selfinsured Oklahoma State and Education Employees Group Health Insurance Program effective July 1, said Charles Johnson, assistant vice president for administration. This decision was reconsidered after questions arose concerning the financial condition of the state plan and recommended

enormous increases in premiums, according to a memo sent out to university employees from Johnson. The letter also mentioned concern over the reported backlog on claims the state plan had. On May 19 the board of regents voted to delay the six regional universities' participation in the state plan. The state plan will continue to be monitered, according to a memo sent out June 15 to university employees.

$400 in damages caused by vandals By Bill Kramer Staff Writer Vandals destroyed a park bench and overturned a planter last week in the courtyard area west of the business building causing almost $400 in damages. The bench and flowers destroyed were provided by a beautification project in which bricks were sold to individuals and businesses from the Edmond area, said Myrt Christian, secretary in the College of Business. "The improvements made included adding park benches, brick walkways, and many beautiful flowers. They are the result of a five-year project to beautify the area," said Christian. Bricks were sold by the business staff for $5 each and a "spring fling" outdoor picnic was held the past two years as additional fund-raisers for the beautification project, Christian said. "The project is not finished at this time," Christian said. "Another sidewalk is planned for the area and more trees are to be planted as well." Student reaction to the vandal-

ism has been that of disbelief. "The improvements made by adding the courtyard are very nice and I cannot understand why someone would do this," said CSU student Ramona Ayers. "I usually spend a couple of hours in the courtyard each week and find it hard to believe that anyone would destroy something which improves the looks of the campus," Ayers said. CSU Campus Security is asking for cooperation from the students in identifying the vandals, and they promise to keep the name of anyone calling with information anonymous. "We're doing all we can to properly patrol the campus and to keep in the minds of everyone that we are doing the best we can to prevent this type of thing from happening," said Campus Security Sergeant Charles Griffin. "Vandalism is not a major problem on the campus, but once in a while it does happen and we can only hope we can catch the vandals," Griffin said.

Leadership training held By Cynthia Clancy

out" sessions which were separate workshops. Some of the sessions included learning to trust others through an exercise called "Trust-Fall." This exercise involved students standing on a table and trusting their fellow students to catch them as they fell backwards.

Student Writer

Two hundred thirty students from 80 different high schools across the state attended the Basic Leadership Workshop last week in University Center. Students were broken into 10 council groups to train them for leadership, said Denise Vaniadis, basic administrative director. The councils were made up of 25-28 students. Each of the groups were patterned after actual student councils with officers, responsibilities and problems that they might experience in their particular schools.

Another workshop entitled "Relationships" taught the students how to solve problems between one another and advisers as they acted out solutions. A third session, called "SelfEsteem," taught students what it is like to be treated in various ways according to the message written on signs on their heads.

Each group attended "break-

Signs instructed students, who were unaware of their own sign's content, to "Ignore me," "Laugh at Everything I Say" and "Order me around." Students then wrote their reactions to the way they were treated. "Basic's primary goal is to instill traits in all of you, who as student leaders, you will need in life." said Anh Tran, state vice president of the Oklahoma Association of Student Councils Thursday in the farewell assembly. "The days you all have spent here allowed you to realize the talents and potential you possess as a leader and as an individual," she said.

Graduate programs eyed By Ann Hamilton Two graduate program proposals, one in nursing administration and the other creative studies, are in the works at CSU, according to Dr. George Avellano, dean of the graduate college. The nursing administration program proposal is a combined effort of the nursing and business departments. The creative studies program proposal is the work of the creative writing and English departments, Avellano said. The nursing administration program proposal is ready to present to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. The proposal was written by the departments, submitted to the CSU

Graduate Council, and approved by the graduate dean. The proposal is now in the hands of the Office of Academic Affairs awaiting formal submission to the regents, Avellano said. The proposal has not been submitted because the timing is not right, according to Dr. Albert Lynd, assistant vice president for academic Affairs. "We don't want to submit it until we are sure it will be approved," Lynd said. Dr. Avellano echoed Lynd's comments: "You have to determine whether or not the board is going to be receptive to program expansion, so we're trying to get a feel for whether or not the board would be receptive to program

When asked what criteria the board of regents uses when studying a proposal like this, Dr. Lynd said that establishing a wellidentified need and making the program unique to the geographic area were among the most important criteria.

The faculty is already in place." The creative studies graduate program proposal is still in committee, and will be resubmitted to the Graduate Council in the fall, Avellano said.

slated in fall By Debra Dinse

Student Writer

The Central State University Alumni Association will sponsor an alumni party in Los Angeles this fall, according to Assistant Director of Alumni Affairs William Kent Todd. A 'tail-gate' party for alumni will be held before the University of California-North Ridge game in September, Todd said. The CSU football team will play the UCNR team the evening of September 23, and CSU alumni will meet Saturday afternoon for the party, he said. "The Southern California Alumni Chapter in Los Angeles is one of four CSU satellite chapters," Todd said. "Other satellite chapters are the Southwestern Oklahoma Chapter in Lawton, the Green Country Chapter in Tulsa and the Lone Star Chapter in Dallas." Todd said the satellite chapters have "pretty good" participation and each have 20-50 members. Representatives from the Alumni Association visit each satellite chapter twice a year to update members on CSU activities, Todd said. CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard, college deans and other university representatives have attended meetings in the past.

Health services director sought By Ann Hamilton Student Writer Central State University is looking for a new health services director to replace Ann Stewart, who resigned effective May 31, according to Dr. Dudley Ryan, vice president for student services. "We are advertising the position now, and in the meantime, we are covering with part-time people and current staff," Ryan said. The duties of the health services director include both administrative and patient care responsibilities.

Heat wave in Howell to end by June 30 By Ann Hamilton Student Writer The air conditioning in Howell Hall should be fixed by June 30, said Susan Hamilton, secretary to the Dr. G. Kay Owens, whose office is on the second floor of the building. "It died," Hamilton said. "It was 25 years old; it just croaked." Some progress has been made on replacing the unit, which required the use of a blow torch to remove the old unit. The procedure will take a few days. The new chiller was delivered last week, and the transformer required for the more powerful replacement unit has also been delivered.

"That's the good news," Hamilton said. "At least the new equipment is here. It may be installed ahead of schedule. The abnormally cool weather has been a blessing for those of us in the building." Twenty-five fans were donated to the Howell Hall staff by many CSU departments. "Everybody pitched in, we really appreciate it." Hamilton said. The not-so-good news is that the heat exchanger is also out, and repairs have not been scheduled yet. Science students should hope for an unusually warm November, Hamilton added.

By Ann Hamilton Student Writer Assistant biology professor Marvin Mays was bitten last week by a 4-foot black rat snake which had apparently wandered into Howell Hall from the outdoors. The snake was first seen by several Central State University physics students, and Mays was called in to handle the situation. "I gently put my foot about six inches behind the head to hold it, to keep it from running," Mays said. "Then it turned its head one way, and I was going to come in from the opposite side, its blind side, and grab it. But it turned and bit me." Mays assumed the snake gained entry to the building through an open window. The air conditioning hadn't been working, and the ground-level windows had been open, he said.

"I have been bitten many times by snakes," Mays said. "The teeth are like needles, they leave deep, puncture-like wounds. It is not particularly painful. The major risk is infection, when the snake is non-venomous." The Elaphe obsoleta, as the rat snake is formally known, was kept in the biology office for a few days. Mays said that the snake was unceremoniously returned to the wild, since a number of specimens were already in the CSU collection of reptiles. Central Oklahoma is a very good habitat for the rat snake, because of the large number of stables in the area, Mays said. Rat snakes, as the name implies, feed on mice and rats, which are populous where grain feed is stored. The rat snake is probably the most common snake found in this part of the state. Mays said.

By Gina Dabney Student Writer Miss Black Central State University Renee Summers won Miss Popularity as 15 contestants vied for the title of Miss Black Oklahoma 1989 at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the Great Hall of the Myriad Convention Center. Miss Black Langston University Coleena Marie Nicholson was crowned Miss Black Oklahoma. "All in all I had a great time," Summers said. The theme for the 20th Miss Black Oklahoma Pageant was "Oklahoma, We Are Still Running," in commemoration of the state's land run centennial. Miss CSU's statement regarding the theme was: "Oklahoma, I am still running because of my positive attitude and perseverance that will overcome all obstacles." Contestants competed in talent, swimwear, evening gown, interview and projection, all counting 20 points, except talent which was 40 points. The talent routines were rich in heritage and training from comedy and drama, to song and dance, to flute and sax. Miss Black Central State University, Renee Summers, who performed a comedy routine entitled "La La Opening," said the pageant was competitive. Summers said the main reason for her wanting to compete in the pageant was to promote CSU, to make a proud statement about being a young,

black woman and to represent a positive role model. Miss Popularity is awarded to the contestant who sells the most advertising for the program guide. Since she has been Miss Black Central State University, she has been invited to many speaking engagements and has been busy talking to other students, especially incoming students, new to the campus and its activities. Summers is on the pompon squad, her major is accounting, and she is the first freshman to hold the position of Miss Black Central State University. She will hold this title until February 1990. She expressed appreciation for the CSU friends and fans who came to support her, and she was especially grateful to her parents and boyfriend. The last Miss Black Central State University to be crowned Miss Black Oklahoma was Karen Marston in 1986. The other winners are: 1st Runner-up, Miss Black Tulsa Lisa Anderson; 2nd Runner-up, Miss Black Guthrie Job Corp Kimberly Perry; 3rd Runner-up, Miss Black Oklahoma City Germaine Williams; 4th Runner-up, Miss Black Oklahoma University Camille Jones and 5th Runner-up, Miss Black Village Michole Mandragon. Miss Congeniality was awarded to Miss Black Bristow Denise Burton.

Switzer calls it quits By John Lukehart Sports Editor Drugs, rape and NCAA probation are a few of the problems that the University of Oklahoma football progam has dealt with in the past few months. But, Coach Barry Switzer dropped another bombshell when he resigned his post Monday. Just shortly after 2 p.m. Monday at the football offices on the OU campus, Switzer made the announcement. Switzer said it was his decision, and he was not forced to resign by Interim President Dr. David Swank, Athletic Director Donnie Duncan or the Board of Regents.

Switzer said he did not enjoy coaching anymore, and he did not have the energy to continue coaching at the NCAA level. "My resignation is in the best interest of the football program, the university, and for Barry Switzer," Switzer said. Switzer also used his resignation as a platform to speak out against the NCAA's policies regarding financial aid. "How can any coach stick to these rules when a young man's father dies many miles away, and the son has no money for a plane ticket home for the funeral," Switzer said. Reactions to Switzer's resignation varied across Oklahoma and

the Central State University campus. Bobby Barsaloux, a sophomore marketing major, said "I don't think the resignation will affect the team as much as the probation." Teffany Scott, a junior elementary education major, said she believes it will affect OU football. "I think it will affect the spirit of OU football. Switzer's resignation will, probably, have a big affect on recruiting," Scott said. Dr. Jo Bottger, professor of health, physical education and recreation, said any change will have an affect, whether it is positive or negative, remains to be seen.

Todd Steiner, a senior advertising and public relations major, said there will be both positives and negatives. "Sure, it will affect the team, the man was there for 16 years and rebuilt a football dynasty. But, if Gary Gibbs takes over, he will have the same opportunities as Switzer. Hopefully, he can make the most of them-like Switzer did," Steiner said. The athletic department has announced that Defensive Coordinator Gary Gibbs has been nominated to the Oklahoma Board of Regents to replace Switzer.

Three tracksters earn All-American honors By Todd Steiner Student Writer Three Central State University athletes earned All-American status last month for their performances in the NAIA National Track Tournament in Azusa, Calif., said CSU track coach Paul Parent. Parent said he was pleased with the team's performance in the track and field events held May 25 through the 27 at Azusa Pacific University. "Overall we competed very well as a team in Azusa," he said. Parent said the three teammates honored as All-Americans are Rick Traczyk and Pete Martinez, of the men's team, and Selenia Smith, of the women's team. Parent said he is pleased with the outstanding athletes who made All-American and is equally satisfied with the effort made by the rest of the team. Mark Davis placed ninth in the men's 200-meter dash. His time for the sprints were 21.76 and 21.66 seconds. His qualifying times of 48.91 and 48.38 seconds in the 400-meter earned Davis a 12th place spot. Rick Traczyc took third place

in the high jump competition, clearing 6-10 inches for his final attempt. Pete Martinez pole vaulted 16-4 inches, enabling him to stab a spot for fourth place. Selinia Smith ran the women's 100-meter in 12.11 and 11.98 seconds, earning her spot at sixth place. Her finishing times of 24.81 and 24.97 in the 200-meter were good for 10th place. Mark Davis, Al Mckey, Aaron Sprague and Eugene Spears ran the 1600-meter relay in 3:16.5 seconds, finishing the event in ninth place. Lance McCaskill hurled the disk 145 feet in the discus competition, earning him a slot for 13th place, and Nichols took 15th place with his 143-foot throw. The men's marathon was run by Jamie Esteban and Steve Heffernan, with Estebans best time of 2 hours and 42 minutes taking 10th place and Hefferman's time of 3 hours 55 seconds nabbing 17th place. Women's shot put and discus thrower Juanita Parker threw the shot 37-4 inches for 14th place and hurled the discus 123 feet for 21st place.

The Summers will get their chance to carry the torch June 3, picking it up near Watonga on State Highway 8A. Bob expects to finish his undergraduate degree at CSU in December. JeAnn, who has already earned a masters degree, will receive her teaching certificate next spring.

have a better chance of being selected. They said runners were selected from areas throughout the state. Each individual will carry the torch one-quarter of a mile and relay the torch to the next runner, Mr. Summers said. Runners left Colorado June 17 on the first leg of their journey across the Oklahoma panhandle. The torch relay is scheduled to continue through July 21.

"Being picked out of a hopper filled with thousands of applicants was great, and the honor of carrying the torch for such an exciting event will be a memory we will always cherish" Mrs. Summers said. Opening ceremonies for the Olympic Festival Games will be held at Owen Field July 21, kicking-off more than a week of athletic competition around the state.

Gowens competes on NAIA USA team 1

By Todd Steiner Student Writer Central State University wrestler Jeff Gowens was chosen to wrestle for the USA All-Star Team during the NAIA European Tournament last May. The team's first choice could not make the trip so Gowens, first runner-up for the position, stepped in to fill the vacancy at 134 pounds. Gowens won second place in the 134 pound bracket in the NAIA National Tournament in Jamestown, N.D. last spring. "The (national) tournament is very tough and grueling. You need stamina and mental toughness to defeat each of your opponents," CSU wrestling coach David James said. "Jeff won all his tournament

matches in Europe in the duel competition and defaulted in the final rounds because of an injury," James said. James said he was very pleased with Gowens, considering the competition he had to face in Europe. "The wrestling Jeff has experienced will help him next year as we compete in the NCAA II," James said. He said the NCAA II competition will require a lot more strength and mental toughness from his wrestlers. James said he is very excited about his team next year and is busy finding off-season competition for the grapplers. "This will help them stay in shape for next season," James said.

Coach's Corner By John Lukehart Sports Editor

ell, I can admit it. I was wrong. The Pistons did not beatthe Lakers in six games. They did it in four! The Los Angeles Lakers, the team of the 1980's, bowed down to the Detroit Pistons, the team of the 1990's, last Tuesday in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's final National Basketball Association game. In game four, James "I'll prove I'm" Worthy led all scorers with a career high of 40 points. However, that was not enough, as the Most Valuable Player of the series, Joe Dumars, and the rest of the Detroit "Bad Boys," captured the victory, and the sweep, from the former NBA champions. The 89th 89th U.S. Open Golf Championship was won Sunday in a strange way, the winner did not post a birdie for 35 holes. Curtis Strange proved that par golf in a major tournament can provide championships. Strange became the first man in 38 years to win the U.S. Open back-to-back since Ben Hogan did it in 1951.

By now, unless you've been underground for a week, you know about Barry Switzer's resignation as coach of the University of Oklahoma football program. Whether or not you liked Switzer, or the way he handled his team on or off the field, he was a gutsy competitor and, more often than not, a winner. Switzer coached 16 years at OU, never losing more than four games in a single season. He led his Sooners to two perfect seasons, six one-loss seasons, four two-loss seasons, three four-loss seasons, and one three-loss season. Switzer's teams won three national championships in 1974, 1975 and 1985. Switzer's teams also won eight and shared four Big Eight titles, finishing second every other year. His winning percentage of .837 was tops among active coaches, placing him fourth on the all-time Division I-A list behind George Woodruff, Frank Leahy and Knute Rockne. Everyone will remember Switzer, some positively and some negatively. But the man did what was expected of him: he won football games. He won more football games (157) than any other Big Eight coach in history and made OU the Pride of Oklahoma.

Grapplers prepare for NCAA By Randy Anderson Sports Writer

As Central State University prepares to make the move up to NCAA Division II, several Broncho grapplers are spending the summer preparing themselves for war on the more competitive wrestling mat. Greg Oplotnik, a 190 pound Junior, finished the 1988-89 campaign with a 28-15 record. Oplotnik, a 1987 graduate from Moore High School earned AllConference and All-District honors in football, while being chosen All-State in wrestling. "I decided to attend CSU because of the other wrestlers and Coach James," said Oplotnik. "CSU has a great winning tradition in wrestling and I felt like this would probably be the best place for me," said Oplotnik. "I really enjoy wrestling and I thought I could do well here." Oplotnik considered attending East Central University, in Ada, and Southwestern Oklahoma State University, in Weatherford, to play football but changed his mind. "I wanted to wrestle," said

Oplotnik. Oplotnik began a special diet that he hopes will keep him in shape this summer and help maintain his competition weight of 190 pounds. "I have cut down on all my fats and have begun to eat salads, fruits and chickens," โ ขOplotnik said. Oplotnik and some of his teammates, including sophomore Jeff Gowens, are spending time in the gym running and lifting weights preparing themselves for the move up to the NCAA Division II. "I felt like I let the team down last season when I failed to qualify for national's, this year will be a different story," said Oplotnik. Gowens, a three-year letterman at Del City High School, finished his senior year as All-State runner-up. "I usually always rely on Jeff to motivate me in just about everything," Oplotnik said. The Bronchos will be returning everyone except CSU graduates Tony Pacheco and Marc Hull.

team enjoyed while traveling to and from the NAIA National Track Tournament in Azusa, Calif. May 25-27 at Azusa Pacific University. Coach Paul Parent said, "We traveled over 2,800 miles during the time span of about nine days and everybody was a little bit tired of traveling so we did some sight seeing while we were out in California." "With all the tension of traveling and competition, we needed to get away and see some of the popular attractions out in California while we had the time," Parent said. "While driving around Venice Beach, we were stopped by Jay Leno, a famous stand-up come-

dian from the Johnny Carson Show," Parent said. Leno commented on the men's van saying, "The van needs deodorant and the men need to run beside the van instead of riding in it." "The Grand Canyon was somemthing many of the athletes had never seen before so, on the way back home, we stopped there to see one of the great wonders of the world," Parent said. "Everybody enjoyed the trip and the behavior of all the athletes was great," Parent said. Experiencing this trip, along with the good behavior, can only mean there will be more just like it in the future for the CSU track team, Parent hopes.

Central State University wrestling coach is confident that this year's new recruits will fill vacancies left by two top wrestlers on last season's roster. Coach David James said," The team will be competing on the NCAA II level so it is going to be a bigger challenge for us, as a team, than it has been in the past few years of domination in the NAIA. James said, "We will lose NAIA runner-up Marc Hull at 142 pounds and 126 pound Tony Pacheco for next season but, overall, we will be able to

fill these positions very easy

with the new wrestlers we have coming in for the 1990 season." Among them are 118 pouna three-time runner-up state finalist, Randy Zelner, from Owasso, Okla.; 126 pound Oklahoma state champ Will Evans, from Bristow, Okla.; at 142 pounds, Ryan Martin, from Tuttle, Okla.; also at 142 pounds is Ron Cartmell, from Moore, Okla.; 150 pound Oklahoma state champ Chance Skidgel from Tulsa, Okla; 150-pounder Jesse Henry, from Marlow, Okla; and 158-pounder Keith Cunningham, from Mustang, Okla.

There is no doubt that Major Leaue Baseball's National League is going to expand, according to an article in the June 16, Daily Oklahoman. National League Commisssioner A. Bartlett Giamatti, said June 15 the league will announce a timetable for adding two teams within three months after the owners reach agreement with the players' union for a new contract. Giamatti gave no specifics on where, or when, the National League will expand, other than the early 1990s might be a good target date. The Major League Baseball Players Association solidly supports league expansion. Buffalo, N.Y., Tampa-St. Petersburg, Fla., Miami, Phoenix,

Ariz., New Orleans, Denver and Washington have been campaigning for the additional franchises.

Hancock said the OTAG program served about 700 CSU students during 1988-89, with grants ranging from $50 to $1,000, or about $810 for an average OTAG award. Most CSU students received between $800 and $825 a year, she added. The proposal recommends calculating the size of the award on tuition rates for the preceding year and maintaining a maximum award limit. Currently, the nonrepayable, need-based OTAG awards are based on enrollment costs during the year of the award and carry a maximum award limit. "The main drawback of the current policy," Hancock said, "is that many students worry about how much they will get for fall because of the annual tuition increases and the lateness of funding during the past five years. I'm very much in favor of the proposal because of the early knowledge of funding it will provide." The change, she said, would enable students more time to assess their ability to afford higher education; campus financial aid

Chapel Continued from page 1 refusal resulted in the insubordination charge. Chapel argued that he did not have adequate notice of what was expected of him. He said the memos he received from Joyce Mounce, vice president of administration, were not specific as to what information was expected from him. Those memos are not available at this time, Washington said. "The university asked for things that were necessary to clarify items that were brought out in the state auditor and inspector report," Grantham said. Nigh said Chapel received a letter a few days after his March 15 suspension, which listed eight areas of concern officials wanted Chapel to address. Nigh said Chapel addressed all eight areas at his disciplinary review hearing. Chapel said he hadn't fully complied previously with the university's request for information because the information was either not available or not in existence. "Mr. Chapel was terminated for the sole reason of insubordination. The other cc neerns that were raised concerning his act. 1 ties and the actions of the asbestos crew were not an issue in the boards review of the termination," said Fern. Chapel said he felt supplying this information was a violation of other people's right to privacy.

counselors would know earlier in the year what the OTAG awards would be; and the awards would not be delayed in future years because of uncertainty about enrollment increases. Based on tuition rates at CSU in 1988-89, current OTAG recipients will receive the same amount for 1989-90 they are'getting now, Hancock said.

Continued from page 1 never used it. The second study, by Dr. Clifford Kay of the Royal College of General Practitioners in England, followed 46,000 women for 20 years. Dr. Kay found that use of the Pill tripled the risk of breast cancer in women 30 to 34, but not

in older or younger women. And it increased the risk six times as much in those who had one child. The third study, by Dr. Bruse Stadel, chief of epidemiology at the FDA, was a reanalysis of a previous study of 5,600 women, half of whom had had breast cancer and half of whom had not. Done by the U.S. Center for Dis,

"The number of renewal recipients and new students funded next fall depends on who applies and how early the application was made," Hancock said. "The earlier a person applies for OTAG, the better his chances are." The cutoff deadline for application is the end of May. Hancock said OTAG applications at CSU for 1989-90 had already reached 4,000 by May of this year. Last fall, the 700 CSU students received awards worth $650,000. They were chosen from thousands of applications sent to OTAG by students throughout the state. "The OTAG office determines the size of award based on a person's family income. The financial need of an applicant is the difference between the college budget, minus family contributions," Hancock said.

Chapel asked: "As a state employee, what individual rights and rights of the citizen do you keep intact." Chapel said he has no definite plans concerning employment and will take time to reassess the situation. The possibility of filing a lawsuit is being considered by Chapel and his lawyer, Chapel said.

ease Control and the National Institute of Child Heath and Human Development from 1980 to 1982, the survey showed no overall increased risk of breast cancer in women who took th Pill. But Dr. Stadel noticed that the incidence of breast cancer was higher among certain Pill-users: Those who had no children and those who had started menstruating before the age of 13. The degree of risk seemed to depend on how long these women had been on the Pill. Previous studies reviewed by the FDA showed no link between Pill-use and breast cancer. These three new studies disagreed on which set of women were the target. "Because the new studies were difficult to interpret, and previous research found no consistent link between the use of oral contraceptives and breast cancer, no chages in Pill-users or labelings were warranted at this time," the FDA announced. Dr. Joseph Giere, of Mercy hospital in Oklahoma City, said: "I think in terms of risk and benefit. Until we get a clearer reading, I'm not taking women off the pill."
