Student sentenced for pizza thefts By Valli Covert
Student Writer A Central State University freshman has been sentenced to a 30 day suspended sentence, ordered to pay $76 in court costs, perform 40 hours of community service and pay restitution of $52.50 after pleading guilty to one count of petit larceny in Oklahoma County District Court as a result of a pizza theft on campus April 10. Jimmy Earl Brown, 19, of East Hall, was sentenced June 10 after pleading guilty to stealing two pizza's and one pizza warming
bag from Mark Walling, an employee of Mazzio's Pizza, 308 S. Kelley Ave., Edmond, who had been delivering pizza's on campus, court records show. Police are still searching for a second suspect in the case. An Oklahoma County warrant has been issued for the arrest of Eurel Taylor, 19, also of East Hall on a charge of grand larceny in connection with the case, court records show. Taylor is thought to be in the Houston area, CSU Police Chief Bob Roberts said. Taylor played football for CSU as a freshman, according to Mike
Auto theft results in 7-year sentence By Valli Covert
Student Writer An Oklahoma City man has been sentenced to seven years in prison for a November 1987 burglary of a truck parked on Central State University's campus. Calvin Willie Homer, also known as Calvin Willie Homer Jr., 21, of 137 N.W. 79th, pleaded guilty in Oklahoma County District Court on June 8 to second degree burglary and a related charge of attempting to elude an officer, according to court records. Homer was charged with breaking into a 1987 Mitsubishi truck owned by Eric Blakeney of Choctaw that was parked on the west side of Broncho Fieldhouse and stealing an AMFM stereo cassette player November 17, CSU police records show. Homer also pleaded guilty to attempting to elude an officer. That charge stemmed from a November 20 incident in which CSU officer Ed Forbes attempted to act on information from the earlier auto burglary, records indicate. Police reports show Homer attempted to elude Forbes by driv-
ing a vehicle south of the CSU campus at a high rate of speed, at times in excess of 80 mph, after he had been signaled by Forbes to stop. Edmond police joined the pursuit. The vehicle finally stopped after breaking down on the on/ramp at Interstate 35 and S. 33rd. Homer, police said, jumped out of the car and crossed the Interstate on foot. Officers followed him to a nearby travel trailer where they arrested him, police records show. Homer also pleaded guilty to three other charges, according to court records. The other charges included escape from custody; second degree burglary, stemming from breaking into the travel trailer where he was arrested; and concealing stolen property. Homer was given concurrent sentences of 7 years on each of the second degree burglary charges; 5 years for concealing stolen property; and 30 days, with credit for time served, on the attempting to elude an officer and escape from custody charges. He was also ordered to pay $432 court costs, court records show.
Kirk, CSU sports information director. "As long as they know we will prosecute, I think everything will be fine," Mazzio's manager Dale Wishon said. "If it happens again, I will cancel out delivering." Wishon said from now on Mazzio's will verify full names and extension numbers and deliver only to the lobbies of dorms. "Through a plea bargaining agreement, the felony count of grand larceny against Brown was reduced to petit larceny,"said Lori M. Standifur, secretary to Assistant District Attorney Brad Miller. "Brown was picked out of a police line-up by the pizza parlor employee," Roberts said. "What is irritating to me is some people think it was humorous, a $10 or $20 pizza." In addition to the legal proceedings, both men are being sought by Dr. Dudley Ryan, dean of students. Ryan said he also wants to question them about the incident. "Neither are available; we can't contact them," Ryan said, "They are not enrolled for the summer semester and are not yet enrolled for fall." "I'm glad they caught him," Wishon said, when told of the outcome of the case. "I think that will keep him from doing it again. Just catching him probably scared him. Someone tested the system and got caught." "I hope he learns from it," Walling said when contacted about the final disposition of the case against Brown. "Thirty days suspended isn't too good, but the fines are good." "If I hadn't been instructed beforehand not to take action, I probably would have," Walling said. "I'm more observant now, there's always a chance it could happen again, but if you worry about being robbed, you could become paranoid."
Central State University will be paying more for the water it uses starting July 1. At its June 6 meeting, the Edmond City Council decided CSU and the Edmond public schools would no longer pay a flat rate of $1.23 per 1,000 gallons, said Patsy Sandefur, assistant city managercity clerk. Water rates will now be assessed on a sliding scale equal to what the rest of the users pay, which translates to CSU paying $1.83 per 1,000 gallons of water used, Sandefur said. "We have a debt service to be met...," Sandefur said, "because of Arcadia Lake. It costs more to treat lake water than deep well water. We are using both to meet summer demands." The city will look at proposals for a declining block rate for the schools, Sandefur added. A declining block rate is for large water users as they use more water their cost per 1,000 gallons decreases. "We have to look at potential revenue," Sandefur said, "It is costing the city $3 per 1,000 gallons to treat and deliver the water. It was recommended by the finance comittee that the flat rate presently being offered CSU and the schools be deleted," because the city is operating in a deficit. "I have not worked with any council that wanted a rate increase in my 21 years with the City of Edmond," Sandefur said when asked about the increase. City officials were unable to provide figures before press time on how much it cost the city to treat the water before going on line at Arcadia Lake. Rate fixing is a responsibility delegated to city council members
by the city charter. Despite the rate increase, "rate study will be part of our (continuing) discussion," city manager Max Speegle said. "We will negotiate with large water users. CSU will be in that category." CSU has submitted a counterproposal to the city. "We went back and figured what the cost to us would have been for a calendar year," said Nick R. Widener, CSU comptroller. "From January 1987 through December 1987, actual cost was $73,879.95." We projected rates and refigured each month, and it will cost $120,502 at the new rates. "We have no real way to cut back on our water usage," Widener added. CSU doesn't use water sprinklers very much and we cannot control the amount of water used in the dorms and apartments." "I think there will be a lot of activity over the next couple of years," said Phil Arnold, assistant vice president for administration. "The city should look at a graduated reduced rate. CSU being thrown into the same category as residential, manufacturing and commercial users would effect us a great deal."
"We had in effect indicated that we are not as capable of passing increase on to our customers, like a residential or commercial user, Arnold added. "Right now in the very late throes of budget, we have to find $47,000." "We haven't received any word from legislators or regents on what our budget is for next year," said Sharon Martin, CSU director of budget, when asked if there are any projected cut backs.
Avellano named acting dean By Monica Kremeier
Editor Dr. George P. Avellano, chairperson of the department of marketing, has been appointed Acting Dean of the Graduate College by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges. The recommendation was approved at the regent's June 17 meeting and will be effective July 1, 1988 through June 30, 1989.

Viewpoints Senior wants to honor traditions of the past To the editor: As a student who has had some involvement with our student government over the years, I am appalled at the blatant waste of student activity fees that recently occurred when the Student Senate purchased a jet printer for the exclusive use of a select few. The same group of students that spent a major portion of their time for the last two semesters whining about the abuses of the student activity fees has in turn fell prey to the power abuse of the almighty dollar. The money allocated for expenditure by the Student Senate from the activity fees should be spent for the benefit of the masses that pay into the fund and not for the limited few of the appointed student government! The senate office already had an over-priced printer that was less than two years old, so there is no justification for this latest expenditure, except perhaps self-serving greed. I have always believed that one should leave a place in better condition than one found it. There used to be a tradition on this campus that the graduating class would present a gift to the school at the end of the year. Upon closer inspection of the older parts of our campus, such as Old North and Mitchell Hall, you will find

benches and other sitting areas that were dedicated by previous graduating classes. But if a survey is done of the newer parts of campus around the Liberal Arts building and University Center, for example, you will find very little if any outdoor congregational facilities. I plan on graduating in July, finally, and some would say that this action alone will improve CSU, however, I would like to challenge the other students that will be graduating in July to join me in purchasing several cement outdoor picnic tables with benches to be donated to our school as a class gift for distribution to central locations on campus. Traditionally, the July graduation is the largest, and if at least half of the class participated with a contribution, a sufficient amount could be raised to place table and benches in front of University Center in the area of "Thatcher Lake" as well as in the lawn area between the Liberal Arts building and the old tennis courts. Obviously, if any other students would like to join in on this project they are more than welcome. If the student government continues to be self/serving then it is up to the rest of the student population to make our school a better place to be. I look forward to hearing from any interested students on this issue. I can be reached during the day at 341-2980 ext. 5406 or in the evenings at ext. 4633. T. Lee Allen
SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Smoking By Pregnant Women May Result in Fetal Injury, Premature Birth, And Low Birth Weight.
Smoking debate continues By Annie John Commentary It was an extremely hot day. I couldn't believe it was 98 degrees, especially since summer was still three days away. I was fighting an irritating allergy - one that was accompanied by a cold and a sore throat. I heard a choke and a gargled cough and was surprised to find someone else in the room who had a cold. Then I saw the cigarette smoke curling out from the wrinkled mouth of a hunched, old lady and I felt myself slowly, but reluctantly inhale the smoke. I can still remember how I tried to avoid smokers who visited my house and how my mother furiously sprayed the air-
freshener as soon as they left. Can smokers empathize with non-smokers who have to bear the sickening stench of cigarette smoke and the nauseating remnants that have infiltrated everything in the room. I have always felt some anger toward the smoker. I have also felt that I have no right to judge someone because he or she decides to smoke. But now I have the perfect excuse to justify my anger. The U.S. Surgeon General has announced that nicotine is as harmful to the human body as heroin. Cigarette smoke produces an undesirable mental and physical effect, as in drug addiction. At one time, smoking was the
in-thing to do. Women, while fighting for equality, chose to smoke to prove a point. To be accepted in a crowd or be "hip," one had to smoke. There are some who still cling to this idea, but society is changing its view. What used to be the in-thing is now the dreaded thing. Some smokers are trying hard to kick the habit. I realize that when smokers read this, they will rationalize that they have the freedom and the right to smoke. But have they ever realized the discomfort their habit causes others? I hope that day will come when all realize that smoking is not just an unhealthy habit, but a rude one too, and all will finally decide to quit.
High school reunions revisit 1968 By Linda Day Student Writer Reactions to the flaws, faults and frustrations of time are occurring in every American city this summer. Twenty-year high school reunions are bringing together the
Commentary "tune-in, turn-on, drop-out" people of a different time in life. The years and miles separate a time gone by...1968. "Pandora's Box" was opened
that year. High school graduates faced Vietnam and possible death, Hair and nudity, Leary and LSD, and demonstrations and raceriots. The decay of innocence and honesty was prevalent. Innerturmoil surfaced through bloodshed and deterioration of the mind. The American dream was broken and stepped on in front of youthful eyes. The intensity of the era left its mark on every heart and mind. There appeared to be no middle of the road in thought. A person was either for or against the topic or cause of the day. Feelings were
worn on the sleeve and little was left to the imagination. "Love, hope, and peace" were echoed throughout the land. Flower children were communing with nature and themselves. Painted cars and bodies were not rarities. The summer of 1988 is a time for reflection...a view into the past through grown-up eyes. Seeing oneself in the face of others bridges the gap between time. The "age of enlightenment" is meeting with the "almost forties" parents of today. Not everyone will take that "walk down memory lane" this
summer. Many gave their lives for the cause they chose to follow. Perceptions may have differed, but the feelings were real. Time cannot erase the turbulence of the era, but time does have a way of healing feelings. Through reunions, people cross paths once again and are able to share the person they have become today. Change is a part of maturity. It is through this growth that enables the common bond of time to be revisited. "Pandora's Box" has been closed for quite some time and in its place remains hope.
Capitol punishment editorial re-examined To the editor: Monica Kremeier's editorial disappointed me greatly. She advocates capital punishment. When are we going to get some student journalists who know how to think? Her superficial examina-
Opinion tion of the issue is all too common among college students, who supposedly are attending colleges and universities, in part, to expose
themselves to higher truths. Capital punishment is murder. Period. Whether it's in the name of the state or not. Revenge is the motive; terribly ironic, when it is this very motive that drove the murderer to kill in the first place. In other words, we're compounding the original error. There are no accidents. Everyone creates his own reality. The murder victim chooses his assassin. The existence of murderers in a society is a reflection of the society, just as is its
government, religion, economy, etc. The answer to our crime problem is to "correct" our society. Briefly, what is needed is a far more cooperative spirit. We absolutely must alter our concept about children and infants. We also must realize that a process, which we term reincarnation, exists; and that the murder victim and murderer often exchange roles in different reincarnational existences; that parent and child reverse relationships; that, to some extent we are creating the
conditions of our "next" existence right now. This kind of maturing of thought will alter our experiences, but progress has been unnecessarily slow. Possibly our universities should do more in the area of thought and ideas than they are now doing. Maybe then such a superficial, uncritical examination of the issues such as Ms. Kremeier's would not appear in student newspapers. Fred Walters

Safety center serves special needs in state By Martha Giglio
Associate Editor The South Central Safety Education Institute located on the Central State University campus offers the only driving program for handicapped people in the state. John McGivern, an instructor of health and physical education, who has worked in the program for 11 summers, became its new director two weeks ago. "I'm not the most patient person, but this is one area, in which I have a lot of patience. Most of these people are overachievers. They have one reason to be here, which is to get a driver's license so they can become more independent," he said. The program was begun in 1971. McGivern said people come
from all over the state to attend classes. Each session lasts four weeks, and classes meet three hours per day. The sessions are offered four times per year. McGivern said the class can accommodate 12 people, and each session is usually full. He tries not to turn down anyone, and there is often an overload in the summer. The institute provides all hand controls necessary in a van equipped with a lift which allows people in wheelchairs to learn to drive. The only requirements necessary to attend the school are a letter of medical clearance from the department of public safety and a driving permit. The class teaches driving skills. Students must then take a test. They are allowed to take the test using the school's van.
"Our philosophy is that we don't want to discourage anyone. If a person can handle an automobile, he should be able to drive like anyone else," said McGivern. McGivern said CSU has always been supportive of the program. But he said the school is in desperate need of a new van. The current one has 140,000 miles on it, and it doesn't have an air conditioner. He said many quadriplegics are not able to tolerate heat well and that makes things difficult for them. "I know with the economy there is only so much that can be done," said McGivern. "We're making do the best we can. I'm sure when the money is available that hopefully we will be able to get a new van. Right now, that's our greatest concern."

Prof teaches course unique to Oklahoma By Martha Giglio Associate Editor Dr. Joe Beckham, professor of industrial education at Central State University, presented a seminar entitled, "Barrier Free Design: ANSI Standards" recently in Toronto, Canada. It was given to the New York Upstate/Canada East American Society of Interior Designers Chapter. The general purpose of the seminar was to provide an awareness and understanding of the architectural requirements of physically disabled people. Concepts, rationale and techniques of barrier-free design and how to integrate them and products into commercial offices and residential interiors were discussed during the presentation. Beckham saw a need for a course in interior design at CSU which incorporated the needs of the handicapped. He developed a course about five years ago which is aimed both at CSU students and
members of the community. "I developed the course for interior design students, primarily, but I like to draw from the community," said Beckham. "People who are out in business who are having to redesign or design for barrier free buildings are who I'm aiming for." The course is called Handicapped Barrier Free Building Design. It will be taught by Beckham in the fall. He said the class averages between 20 and 25 students. "You never really think about this until someone in your family becomes wheelchair-bound. All of a sudden you realize that person can't get around in your house. You have to have someone redesign things so he can get into the bathroom and so on," he said. "As our society becomes more aware of the special needs of the disabled and elderly people, planners and designers need to be able to make the environment safe and accessible," Beckham said.

Seminar to offer new ideas for small rural businesses By Linda Welcher
Student Writer A conference to aquaint the small business person with ways of diversifying the economy in rural areas will be held in Guthrie June 27. The meeting is scheduled for 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Territorial Museum. The Central State University Small Business Development Center is one of the sponsors. "We will discuss subjects such as developing tourism in the cornmunity, new ideas in agricultural
products and even how to raise alligators and catfish," said Sue Urbach, director of the CSU Small Business Development Center. "It's designed for the movers and shakers of the community," said Urbach. She said the conference of community leaders and business people should be a great place to make good contacts and get ideas for business.

registration fee to $7 for students. This fee includes lunch at the Sand Plum restaurant in Guthrie. Registration will be through Friday, June 24. According to Urbach, the Oklahoma Small Business Development Centers works through public and academic resources as well as private businesses and consultants. The center provides help with cash problems, contacts or marketing ideas. "Sometimes a business needs ideas on how to increase its cash flow," said Urbach. "Sometimes they just need a listening ear." She said the center is a representative of the university in the community. "When we go out into the metro area and the small communities, we are a real presence," she said. "The people don't say, `I remember that person from the Small Business Development Center.' They say, 'I remember that person from Central State University."'

By Peggy Collett Student Writer The Oklahoma State Legislature has awarded an excellence in education citation to Dr. Clifton L. Warren, dean of Central State University's College of Liberal Arts and former head and founder of the creative studies department. The award, which was extended to the faculty and students in the creative writing courses, was awarded June 14 at the Capitol. "Over the past few years, I have had such a rare opportunity to connect new generations of Oklahomans to a pantheon of immortals already in place when I arrived," said Warren in his acceptance address to the Legislature. "Over eighty published books have come from the pens of Central State writers, and through our artist-in-residence program these talented people have been nurtured by some of the greatest authors of the day... My own students, Sara Orwig and Lynn
Murphy (writing as Georgina Gentry) are continually on the best seller lists, and Sara's work has been translated into over twenty foreign languages-everything from Swedish to Japanese."
addressed the legislature briefly, and state Representative Gaylon Stacy, D-Edmond, spoke briefly
about the major role that CSU plays as the third largest four-year university in the state.
"One of the surest talents from Central State University, Dale McConathy, passed away two weeks ago suddenly from a heart attack, but not before he had dazzled New York with his genius as cultural editor of Time-Life, editor at Vogue, McCall's and Aperture, and had authored the best selling art book Abrams ever produced, Hollywood Costume," Warren said. In closing, he said, "In our writing program, the equivalent to a Super Bowl win occurs when one of these dreamers follows that quest on to a published book. On those days when I take newly minted authors to see their first book multiplied many times in a store window display, there is no light equal to the radiance that shines in their eyes."

CSU summer enrollment up from last year By J. Heath Student Writer Central State University's enrollment has increased 0.9 percent over last summer's figures. "Currently there are over 5,637 students enrolled for the '88 summer session," said Assistant Director of Admissions and Records Suzanne Martin. Freshmen enrollment led the way with a 3.6 percent increase over last year's total. Juniors showed an increase of 1.7 percent, and there are 1.1 percent more seniors this summer. Sophomores decreased their enrollment by 0.1 percent as did graduate students who declined in numbers by 0.2 percent from last year's total. Martin, attributed a large portion of the increase in enrollment to freshmen attempting to avoid the new curriculum guidelines. "The new curriculum requirements will become effective this fall and those students enrolling this summer will still fall under the present guidelines," said Martin. According to Admissions Clerk, Cindy Shuck, the new requirements will include an increase in the minimum ACT score from 14 to 15, a required minimum grade point average of 2.7, and a minimum set of high school curriculum requirements. This summer's enrollment figures also showed a two percent increase in the number of women on campus. "Sixty percent of the students enrolled this summer are women," said Research Assistant Suzie Greenfield, "This is the largest percentage of women enrolled at CSU since the spring of '86." The average age of CSU students continued to increase as well. The average age currently stands at 29, up two years from the spring. "A lot of teachers enroll in the summer to work on graduate degrees and this often increases the average age of students in the summer," explained Greenfield. "Currently the average age
in the college of education is 33." International students decreased their numbers by two percent from last summer. Currently they make up 9.1 percent of the CSU population.
According to Martin, most of the other students come from the Oklahoma City area. Over 78 percent of all CSU students this summer are from the metropolitan areas of Oklahoma, Canadian,
Cleveland, Pottawatomie, and Mc Clain counties. "Most students from the Oklahahoma City area seem to choose CSU because of its central location, concluded Shuck.

Reading course offers practical training By J. Heath Student Writer Edmond elementary school children may be able to improve their reading skills this summer through the use of a program sponsored by the College of Education. The program, designed by Dr. Mary Henderson, professor of the elementary education department, is titled "DiagnosisRemedial Reading Techniques grades K-8," said Dr. Bonny Ford, course instructor and assistant professor of elementary education. The course blends valuable inclass instruction with practical hands-on experience, according to Ford. Children needing additional
reading help were selected from various Edmond elementary schools by their counselors to participate in one of the several two week programs. The children are first tested by the education students to determine each child's reading level and any problem areas that they might need help with, explained Ford. After being tested, the children are then assigned to a pair of education students who work with each child. "We try to steer away from workbooks and ditto sheets and use a more hands-on approach," said Ford. The children are taught reading skills through a combination of
games, stories and other interactive activities. The children are not the only ones learning though. Education students are getting a chance to test their skills as well. "We are getting a chance to wet our feet," said student Betty Wages, "the course gives us a chance to tutor children with reading problems that otherwise wouldn't receive this type of help." "We are given the opportunity to work with and diagnose these children," said fellow student Cindy Honeycutt. Upon completion of the course, "the students will be able to take a child, diagnose their problem and develop a reading program for them," said Ford.

Two CSU grads return to present NASA lecture program By Linda Day Student Writer Two Central State University graduates representing the Johnson Space Center in Houston as part of NASA's lecture/demonstration program will be on campus in July to present aerospace lectures. Gordon William Eskridge and Charles Ray Anderson, both adjunct assistant professors at Oklahoma State University and former CSU graduates, will present the lectures as part of the education department's summer aerospace program, according to Dr. Douglas Sprung, professor of curriculum and instruction.
Gordon William Eskridge
One of the men will present a lecture from 1 to 5 p.m. July 5 in the Creek Room of the University Center, and Anderson will host another presentation 1 to 5 p.m. July 15 as part of Sprung's elementary science institute which will be held July 11 to 15 in Old North, room 208. As aerospace education specialists, the two men travel throughout the southwest presenting the lectures to elementary school teachers and students. Eskridge delivered one presentation June 9 in Old North. "The comprehensive programs give information on learning cycles in elementary science education. Rocket models are us-
ed as visual aids in the demonstrations along with space shuttle tiles that are heated to show the temperature variations the shuttle experiences coming through the earth's atmosphere," said Sprung. According to NASA files, Eskridge received his bachelor of business administration and master of education degrees at CSU and taught earth science and computer science in the public school systems of Oklahoma. Anderson majored in elementary education and minored in social studies and science here. He taught science in the Oklahoma City public schools for five years.

Two students treated for exposure to ticks By Martha Giglio Associate Editor Central State University Student Health Center Nurse Ann Stewart said she has treated two students within the last few weeks for tick bites. She said the students had been fishing. When CSU students spend the weekend tramping through the woods or hiking through tall grass, they need to be aware of the danger of ticks, she said. Oklahoma has the highest rate of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in the nation, according to Pam Archer, staff epidemiologist with the State Department of Health. Twenty-six cases have been reported so far this year, and two have resulted in death. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is carried by ticks. Should an individual be exposed to an infected tick, he needs to take immediate action, Archer said.
The tick needs to be removed properly, either with tweezers or tissue-covered fingers. Care should be taken not to crush it. The tick should be pulled out slowly, and the person should wash his hands thoroughly. Contrary to popular belief, heat should not be applied. Symptoms of fever, headache, chills, muscle aches and fatigue develop within two to 14 days after exposure. A rash will follow in three to four days. The person needs to be hospitalized immediately to prevent death. It is believed that the tick needs to be attached for four to six hours to transmit the disease, and Archer recommends checking the body frequently for ticks if a person is in a tick infested area. Archer warned that ticks could as easily be in a person's yard, and grass should be kept cut short and pets checked.

"You don't have to advertise when Butch speaks. She is dynamic, vivacious and funny." Students receive one hour credit for attending the institute.
Student Writer Three students are spending their summer conducting graduate research for the Central State University biology department. Tony Stancanpiano, Katherine Carpenter and Roger Barrios are working under the direction of Dr. William Caire, professor of biology, and Dr. Peggy Guthrie, associate professor of biology. Stancanpiano is studying the eating habits and food choices of deer mice at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife area. His research involves trapping field mice and taking samples from the contents of their stomachs. After placing material on slides, he evaluates and compares the samples to those of other species to deter-
mine different eating habits. One research objective is to determine whether the mice prefer a specific type of food. He will also cornpare the eating choices between males and females of the species. Carpenter and Barrios will begin their projects this summer. Carpenter will study respiration of wood rats, and Barrios plans to investigate antibodies associated with Legionnaire's Disease. Stancanpiano and Carpenter are being guided through their projects by Caire, while Barrios will receive support from Guthrie. It usually takes a year to complete such work. Students will receive from one to six hours credit depending on the performance of their research studies.
petitions. The winner will receive $1,000 to be used for college expenses. CSU student Karen Marston won the contest two years ago. "I want to bring it back to CSU," said Sims. After graduation, Sims would like to work with a public relations advertising company, she said. Sims was CSU Freshman Queen 1985, the first black freshman queen on campus. She is also on the CSU Porn Pon Squad. Sherill Sims Sims was president of the AfroAmerican Student Union in 1985-86 and was named an AfroAmerican Student Union Outstanding Member.
Correction The June 15 issue of The Vista incorrectly stated the titles of Joyce Mounce and Charles Johnson. Their titles should have read vice president for administration and assistant vice president for administration respectively.

Sports CSU hires two coaches By Chris Cooley
Student Writer Chuck Bailey and Russ Tribble have been approved as Central State University's new full-time assistant football coaches by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges. The regents approved the appointments at their June 17 meeting. The appointments came after offensive coordinator John McGivern resigned in the spring. The additions bring the number of full-time assistant coaches at CSU. to four. Bailey, a graduate assistant at
CSU for the last two years, completed his high school education at Wagoner in 1974. He played football at Oklahoma State University for two seasons then finished his education at CSU. For the past two years Bailey has coached defensive backs and will continue in the fall. He will also be an instructor in the Health and Physical Education Department. Tribble graduated from Midwest City High School in 1971. He played football at the University of Arkansas until 1976 when he became a graduate assistant at North Carolina State. After receiving his master's
degree, Tribble spent the next season as a high school assistant coach in Texarkana, Ark. Tribble returned to Midwest City High School where he was an assistant coach until 1985. He spent the last two years at Baylor where he worked with the offensive line and kicking team. At CSU Tribble will coach the offensive line and teach in the Health and Physical Education Department. "Chuck and Russ are going to be great additions to our coaching staff," Howard said. "They fit our needs at this time and I know they'll both do an excellent job for us."

Hollander congratulated for yearbook effort By Linda Welcher Student Writer Yearbook Advisor Lu Hollander has received a formal letter of congratulations from the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education for her work on the 1988 Bronze Book. In the letter dated June 6, 1988, Dan S. Hobbs, senior vice chancellor for Planning and Policy Research, said he will keep a copy of the 1988 Bronze Book in the library and use it in his research on Oklahoma higher education.
"The State Regents are always sent a copy of our yearbook, but this is the first time they have responded," said Virginia Dodson, journalism department secretary. "It is always nice when someone outside your area compliments your work, in particular when it is from the Board of Regents," Hollander said. "It's particularly nice to be recognized by someone in the education department. Hollander said she believes that what makes the difference in this

Bronze Book is that it gives more personalized coverage. "Our goal was to make the yearbook as close a reflection of CSU this past year as possible," she said. "We included many different people and tried to use as many direct quotes as possible from faculty and students." The book gives more complete coverage of curriculum courses. Along with the literal information of each study area, student cornments are included about how they felt the courses related to and helped with their goals, said Hollander. "In the Student Life section we did a survey that asked both foolish and serious questions. We asked questions such as what is your best excuse for being late for class, and what do you consider outrageous?" She added that the book was further personalized with a Minimag section which included short feature stories by the students that dealt with subjects such as: the
