The desert atmosphere of Oklahoma, hot days and cool nights, cause hazy sunsets to enjoy during evening activities. Wednesday, being the first full day of summer, marks the beginning of rising temperatures and more outdoor fun and sun.

Vista receives All-American from American Collegiate Press "Well-written. . . reasonably well-edited. . .with its photo clarity and interesting opinion pages probably the strong points." So wrote the American Collegiate Press (ACP) judge after giving the fall '81 Vista an All American rating.

The ACP is a national critical service sponsored by the University of Minnesota School of Journalism. Judging is based on publication frequency, enrollment and printing process. Past ratings do not effect present scores, although extreme shifts in grading may merit detailed explanations.

This year the Vista received four out of five Marks of Distinction. These marks generally indicate areas of high scoring.

The fall '80 Vista earned a First Place rating, but did not receive the four out of five Marks of Distinction necessary to become an All American.

"You cover both men's and

women's sports, plus intramurals, well," wrote this year's judge on sports coverage in the Coverage and Content section. "It is difficult to tell what you or your school considers the 'most important' sport since several get equal play."

This tops last year's comment on the scarcity of non-varsity coverage. This section rated 550 out of 700 possible.

However, "you do go overboard on crosscountry runners' photos!"

In the Writing and Editing section, strong criticism about poor grammar and spelling and typographical errors arose, as well as the comment that headlines needed more imagination. Still, the section rated a 640 out of 700 thanks to "lively, colorful" writing.

Good, concise arguements on campus issues resulted in an overall score of 520 for the Opi-

nion Content section. "Wellwritten editorials and the variety of good letters and cartoons make this Opinion Page attractive!"

The Design section received the harshest criticism, as the only section not to have a Mark of Distinction. A lack of visual direction or a variety in headlines was noted, along with a tendency to stick with well-worn techniques in each issue. The section earned 560, with the addition of 40 bonus points for excellent advertising coverage.

Exceptional photography resulted in a fourth Mark of Distinction. "I am impressed with your consistantly good clarity—(a result of) product or darkroom and printer?" The lack of art and graphics ultimately dropped the total score to 480.

Finally, student involvement added 200 bonus points to the final overall score of 3,350. Total possible points, without bonus, was 3,500.

"The Vista is a well-written, reasonably well-edited, neat appearing newspaper," summarized the judge. "It should look into adopting a modular (horizontal) approach to design/makeup of pages so that good copy is easier to read and follow, and more attractive to the eye."

The staff of the fall '81 Vista was Kim McConnell, editor; Barbara Boatman and Donald DeVault, associate editors; Bob Slankard, sports; Kris Miller, advertising; Terry Sweetwood, circulation; and John Finney, pasteup artist.

By Patricia Uselton In October, 1975, Dr. Bill Lillard was inaugurated as president of Central State University.

In his speech that day he listed seven major goals that he wished to accomplish. Seven years later, how close is he to achieving these goals?

His chief goal, and the one he is most proud of, was to improve CSU's public image. He has encouraged his staff to join him in promoting the university through the media, through civic and community involvement, and with programs like the Distinguished Lecturers Series and the Honors Scholarship Program.

"That way people get to look at Central State in a new way, not just as a teacher's college," Lillard said.

Also, some kind of physical indication of CSU's presence was needed. Signs were erected on major streets and highways directing commuters to the campus and two electronic boards also provide information on college activities.

"Employment of a fine faculty does as much to improve the identity of a college as anything else," Lillard said, nothing that in a tenstate region CSU has had the largest faculty salary for the past two years.

When Lillard first took office, the only paved parking lot was an asphalt-covered area by the ad-

ministration building. Since then, it, and six other major parking lots have been paved over, with plans to add the lots near Howell Hall and the new math/computer science building to the list. Better lighting and sidewalks have also been constructed.

"I think we've kept our promise to take Central State out of the 'dust and mud'," said Lillard.

Lillard's third goal, a doctorate degree program at CSU, has hit snags. Dr. Bill Fisher, graduate school dean, recalled their early attempts.

"At Dr. Lillard's suggestion, we proposed a doctorate degree in special education. We thought the School of Education would be an appropriate place to start, given our beginnings as a teacher's college. It was approved by the graduate counsel, but the State Board of Regents for Higher Education chose not to act on it.

This was about one year after Lillard's inauguration.

Since then another degree, a doctorate in Business Administration, has also been sent to the regents. This too, has been neither approved nor rejected. Now a third proposal, a doctorate of arts in creative writing is being assembled for presentation.

"We still have room for expansion in the master's program," said Fisher. "I don't think there's Continued to page 3

upon which a multitude of students doth cling. This tree is our National Direct student loans and Government Grants for the 82-83 and 83-84 school years.

This snipping of our twig has brought some old underlying questions into the surface. Do I really have a goal in college; Do I need a college education for what I want to do?; If so am I willing to work my way through school if my financial aid is cut? No one likes to think on the negative side of a situation but sometimes it is best to keep an overall view of what might happen.

Climb down from your chair and undo the noose around your neck 'cause the situation is not all that drastic. According to Sherri Hancock, director of Student Financial Aid, there will be "some reductions but not as bad as was expected six months ago." The 82-83 budget has already been approved and the results are comparatively mild. So go ahead and fill out all - the paperwork -- chances are you'll get it.

But both houses of Congress have the 83-84 budget still under construction.

President Reagan and his staff should not shoulder the entire blame of these cuts. There are millions of dollars in loans passed out each year based upon student need, parental income, and tuition costs. These are passed out on the silver platter of good will. But

Editorial even as some accept this offering they position themselves to give Uncle Sam a proverbial kick in the pants by accepting with no intentions of reimbursal.

In the past these persons have had an easy time of cheating the government due largely to the number of delinquent accounts and lack of prosecution. Currently the tide is turning.

The United States Attorney General's office is getting on the bandwagon and seeing that these accounts are taken to court. Since most people

don't like to be taken to court by the government (due mainly to the fact that they (the U.S.) always win) most cases are settled out of court. Still there are those who don't pay and aren't contacted by the U.S. Attorney General's office. They shouldn't enhale yet, because, as Sherri Hancock put it, the government could possibly "withhold medicare, medicade, and Federal Income Tax returns." The current Administration is holding a hard line on these policies.

Now don't get me wrong, I know that the majority of us will gladly repay this gracious act. And it is our duty and obligation to do so. Go ahead and pat yourself on the back. But don't you also think that the bad cherries clinging onto our tree could have caused the stink that brought our interests under the scrutinizing eyes of Congress? And any tree that doesn't bare the expected amount of good fruit needs at least a good trimming. And thus we have it.

• University rejuvination program far from over in eyes of student The Central State campus has changed a great deal during the past school year. Most, if not all of the changes, have been for the better.

It is great to see new trees and shrubs planted in once barren acres. The new sidewalks, streets and parking areas around the Communications Building are a welcome improvement. The administration has finally become aware of the fact that a beautiful campus can only enhance the quality of education that a university can offer.

The addition of the new Math Building will add a welcome new look to the southern portion of the campus,

located throughout the school can be the beginning of a new look around this university.

These improvements are just the first step in an overall rejuvination of the campus. Central State cannot let the momentum die now.

Editorial The area north of the University Center still looks like a vacant lot. Is this area an ancient Indian Burial Ground that cannot be touched? Why

has this area been neglected in such a way?

This acre would be the perfect place and the attractive flower gardens

for students to congregate and relax on those warm spring days when it just feels good to be outside, but who wants to sit in a barren field.

It would be nice if some serious changes were made in this vacant lot.

Central could add a small pond with a fountain, a gazebo surrounded by willow trees with flowers and a lot of benches. A patio type area would be great for a beginning. This area could become the emerald of the Central State campus.

These suggestions are just a few to add to the long list of ideas needed for a beautiful campus.

Insanity verdict A Washington jury handed down an innocent by reason of insanity verdict for John Hinkley Jr. Monday night. He will be transfered from the stockade in Fort Meede, Md. to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Washington.

U.S. District Judge Barrington Parker issued an Aug. 2 deadline for the hospital staff to file a review on Hinkley's mental condition.

Enid boy dies A nine-year-old Enid boy died last Thursday after a six day illness of appendicitis because his parents refused to obtain medical care for him.

The parents, who refused to obtain medical care, were charged in Garfield County District Court with first-degree manslaughter.

A family spokesman said the family's religious beliefs wre the cause for no medical attention.

Argentine president The Argentine army named retired Gen. Reynaldo Bignone as president, Tuesday. The army said it will "assume the responsibility" for governing Argentina.

Sources said navy and air force leaders opposed the naming of a military leader as president and commented that they would prefer a civilian leader to lead the country following the disastrous Falkland Islands war with Britain.

Girl, 14, sentenced A judge Tuesday sentenced a 14-year-old black girl to life in prison for murdering a 3-year-old white neighbor.

The judge blamed society's tolerance of racism. Judge Robert Abel commented that racism, promoted by the parents of both youngsters as well as the whole community, was to blame for the tragedy.

Inaugural goals Continued from page 1 a master's of art in art in Oklahoma. But probably a master's of science in biology has first priority. And a master's degree in applied mathematics is really needed." The biology degree has already been sent to the regents and an answer should return before the end of this year.

Since 1975, CSU has acquired an additional 16 bachelor degrees and 12 master's degrees; more than any other university in Oklahoma during that period.

Expanding CSU's alumni and foundation was Lillard's fourth goal. The former has grown into four chapters, including a new chapter formed in Dallas which will have its first meeting this fall.

The benefits and activities of alumni have improved and the age group has shifted toward a younger set. John Wagnon, executive director of the Central Alumni Association since 1979, said "As we continue to see receipts skyrocket we're getting more and more alumni who find it profitable to give." The amount of scholarship funds has quadrupled in the last three years.

In 1975 the assets of the CSU Foundation were $76,498. As of January, 1982, those figures jumped to $324,170.

Lillard said that "In the past (the Foundation) had principally used funds for scholarships. Now they also use funds for academic contributions. Now when a professor or department needs something, the foundation board can look into the situation and help fund the project either partially or wholly."

Recently the Kerr Foundation donated $100,000 for a new transmitter and equipment for KCSC radio. And $35,000 in private donations helped make a satellite dish for the radio station and Channel 2 possible.

Another point was improving CSU's athletic program. Seven years later eight competative programs are offered to men and five to women. "Our funding budget better than in the past," replied Charles Murdock, director of athletics. "A large number of students are participating in athletics. For instance, the track team has tripled in the past five years since I was a track coach.

Five years ago we had limited indoor track, limited crosscountry.

Now our indoor and outdoor track and crosscountry have greatly expanded. That's due to availability of funds as much as anything.

"We haven't cut back any sport," Murdock said. "That's what I'm most proud of. My goal was to raise the levels of all programs. We could have concentrated on three or four at the expense of others, but we didn't."

Five years ago the men's athletic program was a duel member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). "We eventually withdrew our membership from NCAA because of the lack of competition in our region. There are no other NCAA division II schools in Oklahoma, so we would have to travel a long way to find competition. A second reason was the NCAA's rule that scholarship-holding athletes can't work off-campus. For our students that created quite a hardship."

The American Intercollegiate Association for Women has ceased to function on a national level, so next school year the men's and women's programs will be under NAIA. "The greatest effect on sports right now is cable television.

Cable has so many sports on television right now that people can sit at home and watch all year long. This will have an effect on attendance, particularly at schools our size," said Murdock.

"If our programs have improved, it's been because of, not administrative meddling, but because the administration thinks that athletics are important to the university. We haven't been cut back like some schools. We have rechanneled our resources, but that's all," Murdock concluded.

Since becoming president, one of Dr. Lillard's goals has been to establish some type of hall of fame on campus. And now there's a possibility of inheriting New York's Indian Hall of Fame.

"What is happening is that the neighborhood there is beginning to deteriorate," said Lillard.

"They're having a problem with law enforcement. Parking is becoming a problem. So we're investigating the possibility of the Indian Hall of Fame being relocated here and possibly spon-

sored by the state of Oklahoma.

We could lease the land to the state and they could help finance it.

"What we're talking about is a large operation, several buildings to hold artifacts from all the American Indian Tribes, and parking space. It's difficult to do.

But think what it could mean to the community.

"Another advantage we have is the land. It's all paid for. And we're a few miles from the intersection of two major highways."

Alleviating overcrowded classrooms was Lillard's final goal. During the late 60s and mid 70s some campuses felt decline in enrollment. The regents then began to support more funding for renovation, not reconstruction. But CSU had been growing instead.

"We have both problems. We do need to renovate and modernize, but that's on on-going process. Most of Central State's growth came from the 60s. We're now entering a twenty-year period of decay. The library, the home economics and music buildings are all needings funds. The next five to ten years will be spent in modernizing.

"At the same time we're building new buildings. We're showing more growth than most institutions in the state. We do have some parking space problems, and occasionally someone will have to stand in line for five or ten minutes. But that's the problem I like to deal with, rather than half-empty parking lots."

When the legislature returns in July, the administration will be informed about capital improvements for building and renovation. "We will finish the math and computer science building and, depending on how much money we have left, we will consider adding more classroom space.

"Particularly the nursing department and funeral srvices need more room. Conceivably nursing, funeral science, and maybe some of the advanced sciences could share labs, classrooms and instructors. In this area you don't need large classrooms, but special plumbing and lab equipment. This is one of our higher priorities to start on for late fall."

Humanitarian conference meets in Philippines The First International Conference on Human Resource Management will be held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Manila, Philippines, on No'vember 16-20.

The Conference, the first of its kind to be held in Manila and Asia, is being organized by the Personnel Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP).

Accredited by the World Federation Management (APFPM), the Conference will provide a forum for a timely study of the "Global

Dimensions of Human Resource Management."

Conference speakers are experts who will be drawn from the U.S., Europe, Asia and other parts of the world. An important feature of the conference is an International Seminar to be presented by the World Federation of Personnel Management Associations.

The conference schedule consists, starting Tuesday, Novemeber 16, of registration and opening of exhibits and a International Seminar entitled "Produc-

tivity and Employment." The first topic, "Productivity", includes Japanese Experience, trends in the U.S. and German experience. The second topic, "Employment," discusses worksharing and problems and opportunities involving senior citizens.

Special Olympics give handicapped chance to demonstrate 'special talent' The 1982-83, ninth annual Oklahoma Special Olympics were held on Central State's campus during the summer break May 12-14.

Despite a rained-out afternoon and a miscalculated tornado alert, the Special Olympics proceeded on schedule, drawing 2500 competitors and 600 coaches to the campus.

The three-day event gave winners from the 17 area divisions an opportunity to display their track and field skills. And the key word in Special Olympics is participation.

Heavy rains cancelled Wednesday's events, including several special interest clinics sponsored by area volunteers and faculty.

Four-man shuttle relays were held in the fieldhouse instead, with the opening ceremonies and a dance that evening. But the dance was postponed until the next evening when a tornado was thought to be heading into the area.

On Thursday, the coaches and atheletes made up for lost time with wheelchair races, swimming

and diving events, softball throws, the 50 meter dash, standing long jump competition, high jump competition and the pentathalon; the latter included standing long jump, high jump, softball throw, the 50 meter dash and the 400 meter dash.

Friday ended the meet with the mile run, the 200 meter dash, the 400 meter dash, and the completion of the pentathalon and the softball throw competitions.

Volunteers from the Oklahoma City Slickers soccer team helped during the soccer clinic.

"This program could not be conducted at Central State without the faculty, students and townspeople who volunteer their help," said Dr. Homer Coker, chairman of the health, physical education and recreation department.

Coker mentioned that this year a group of middle school studets from Moore and two of their teachers came Thursday to help.

Baton Rouge, La. will be the setting for the 1983 International Special Olympics. A cross-section of atheletes from across the globe are selected for the event, which is held every four years. The Oklahoma chapter, started in 1969, is one of 100 scattered throughout the world.

Dr. Edris Rice-Wray, M.D.,M.P.H. of the University de Las Americas, Puebla, Mexico, will give a lecture for the Baha'i Club at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow, in the Pawnee Room of the Student Center.

'82 financial aid, grant program sponsored by Audubon Society A scholarship program for high school, college and graduate school students has been announced by the National Audubon Society Expedition Institute.

The 1982 scholarships are designed to defray a student's expenses while attending school or for a project or summer program of the student's choice.

The National Audubon Society, one of America's largest and most distinguished conservation organizations was founded in 1905. Through the study of birdlife, the Society has become increasingly aware of the interconnectedness of all life and of the major cumulative impact of human-kind's activities on the health of the life-support systems, the air water and land. Its prime objective is long-term protection of all life and the preservation of natural resources.

To carry out it's work, the Society has developed a well coordinated effort in three interdependent fields, research, education and action. The research provides a sound rational underpinning for the Society's efforts. The educational effort disseminates through numerous publications including "Audubon" magazine and "American Birds," meetings, nature centers, ecology camps, accredited expedition courses and the new media.

The action programs involve the Society's 413,000 members, 443 chapters, ten regional offices, 70 sanctuaries and Washington office and make use of such tools as self-action persuasion, litigation, and the democratic process.

Application forms and instructions for the Audubon Society scholarships are available until August 15 by sending a self ad-

dressed stamped #10 envelope to Scholarship Committee, National Audubon Society Expedition Institute, RFD #1 Box 149B, Lubec, Maine 04652. The financial aid and multiple scholarship grants, ranging in amounts from $100 to $200, are made available by Audubon to help young people take advantage of learning opportunities through the nation.

Recipient's reactions to the financial assistance has been positive. They report that the Audubon Expedition Institute scholarships have made possible the fulfillment of their immediate education and career goals such as attending schools, summer camps, workshops and travel programs, photographing endangered Alaskan wildlife, interning in conservation organizations, or participating in the Expedition Institute.

Common mistakes delay job opportunities for graduates Editor's note: This article is on the ten most common mistakes in job hunting offered by Robert B. Nelson author of "The Job Hunt: The Biggest Job You'll Ever Have--A Practical Guide for New College Graduates."

Nelson assists students through job hunting workshops and individual consultation and has worked as a college recruiter.

College housing costs rise, 'but increase very small' Like almost everything else, the university housing costs will be on the rise next fall. However, Robert Fields, director of housing doesn't expect this to work undue hardship on students.

"It's not a large increase," said Fields. "We're trying very hard to keep costs down."

This year Thatcher and Murdaugh halls will cost $1,394.40 which is up from $1,245.00 last year. The cost for East and West

II

erniece's

halls will be $1,567.20 in comparison to last year's $1,399.20.

As the exact billing process has not been worked out, monthly payments cannot yet be determined, but Fields pointed out that once divided into payments, the increase will look even smaller.

"We're anticipating payroll and utility raise," said Fields.

"We can't sit still when costs are going up I think it's a modest raise," added Fields.

A person who is about to go job hunting for either a career position or a summer job will do his best if the following common errors most frequently made by new graduates are avoided.

The first mistake usually made is procrastination. Job hunting can seem like an awesome task, but it is guaranteed to become more difficult the longer a person delays. The activity should be worked into a daily schedule or the job hunter should place his initial thoughts about what he has in mind on paper so that these ideas are available for revision.

The second problem for the job seeker is not knowing what he wants to do. A person cannot approach an employer and simply ask what is available. Employers prefer to believe that a person has come to them because the person has given some thought to what he wants. The job hunter should be able to explain how he comes to the decision to work in the area in which employment is sought and also how he selected that certain employer to approach for employment.

The third mistake is not knowing employment from the employer's perspective. Many new graduates do not look beyond their own needs for wanting to get a job and fail to realize that they will be most effective in their search if they uncover and explore each potential employer's reasons for hiring them.

Failing to view employment from the employer's prospective is a common mistake in the job hunting task. Job seekers often concentrate on their own needs for wanting a job instead of concentrating on the employer's reason for hiring someone.

The fourth mistake for a job seeker is overlooking selling points of trying to sell himself as a product. In order to do so the person needs to bring to light his assets and marketable abilities that could make him a valuable employee.

Many of these skills are taken for granted or completely overlooked by most new

Aeita2e 3;74:

•

graduates. Selling points include the ability to effectively communicate, learn quickly, do research and solve problems in a well organized way. Also skills of being flexible, willing to try new things, possessing good work habits, having initiative .and follow-through and a high degree of enthusiasm are helpful.

The fifth most common mistake is having a non-focused resume. The resume should be a concise listing of the most impressive and pertinent experience as they relate to a specific objective which is stated at the top of the page. A person would want to pique an employer's interest in knowing and seeing more of him.

To say too much on a resume will increase the chances that extraneous information is presented that could preclude a job hunter from being considered for an opening. Instead, a person would want to make it seem as though everything in his life has led to the position sought. Unrelated experiences, personal interest, hobbies, height, weight, social security number, marital status, references and a photograph should not be included with the resume. The resume is not a biography.

Job hunters find trouble when they don't take their job hunting task seriously. Keeping active and committing ones self to the job hunting process produces job opportunities.

Number six on the list of job hunting mistakes is not being commited to the job search. Job hunting is less effective when it is a casual "when you have time" type of activity. It produces better results when the hunter jumps into an active busy job search that makes a demanding use of his time.

Starting with a strong time and energy commitment will allow the job hunter to come across with a greater air of confidence. If it is not the highest priority it will show through a person's attitude and behavior. It is easy to delay the search and fill time with activities that are less important or desirable. The job hunt should be made into the immediate job.

The seventh mistake is going to too few prospects. In one analysis, job hunting is a numbers game. The more people talked to about employment the more interviews the seeker will most likely get and the greater chance of securing a position.

What the job seeker should do to avoid at all costs is limit himself to the first two to five prospects that he happens to come across.

The time wasted waiting for different steps of the process to occur like receiving a resume scheduling a first, second or third interview, making a decision will quickly take it's toll on a person's self esteem. If only a few contacts are made rejection becomes more personal than if as many as 50 to 75 are made. This will stop the person from being easily discouraged and give him an everlasting network of contacts.

The eighth mistake is going to the wrong type of prospect. Most people have a mental image of job hunting that involves reading the want ads, filling out applications at personnel offices and perhaps checking with an employment agency. These activities lead to second-hand information about position openings.

A person will be more effective speaking directly to those individuals who gave the authority to hire — namely the managers in most organizations. Although identifying these individuals might require some effort and investigative telephone work on the job seekers part, the payoff will be greater since he will not be one of the hundreds of applicants trying for their attention.

The job hunter is more apt to learn more about the company's needs and upcoming opportunities there from those people who know it best. Since fewer individuals go directly to these decision makers there will be fewer competitors. The job hunter might become the only candidate for the next position.

The ninth job hunting mistake is approaching prospective employers in an impersonal way.

The entire job campaign should be very personally handled. In each case a cover letter addressed to the person with whom the job hunter spoke should accompany the resume. What will most probably determine success or failure in a person's first career position is the ability to work and relate well with others.

The more people contacted in the job hunting process the better chance for the job seeker to get a position and creates life time contacts for future jobs.

The last mistake on the list is having no follow-through. A jobseeker should be persistent in reaching each of his initial contacts. At the close of the cover letter on the resume, a person should indicate what will be done next to follow-up the resume. If an employer says he will call in two weeks, the job hunter should call him back first in one and a half weeks. The effectiveness of the follow-through is determined by the quality not the quantity of the contacts. A thank you letter should be written after each interview. A well-written letter can say quite a bit about a person's abilities and motivations.

If the ten common mistakes in job hunting will be avoided, the job hunt are much easier. The person will not just be seeking a single position but will also develop skills to be used for the rest of his life.

Basketball, wrestling coaches hired This spring, Central State athletic department acquired two new members to the coaching staff: Buddy Armstrong, head basketball coach and David James, head wrestling coach.

Buddy Armstrong received his bachelor degree from Central State in 1966 and returned later to receive his master in physical education. While attending Central State, Armstrong played starter on the Broncho basketball team for three years. He served as captain of the district champion team during his senior year.

Honors that he has received while

a student at Central State include: a full-scholarship for basketball; elected president of the Physical Education Club; voted Outstanding Sportsman 1966; listed on the Dean's Honor Roll.

Before taking the position at Central State, Armstrong served as head coach at Del City High School for the past five years, winning the State Championship in basketball in 1979. He previously worked at Capitol Hill High School as head coach for seven years, where he coached a championship team in 1973.

At the present, Buddy Armstrong is diligently recruiting new members and looking forward to an exciting year.

Also joining the Central State coaching staff is 1980 Central State graduate David James. As a wrestler at Central State, James became the first athlete in the school's history to win the AllAmerican title four times. He also won the NAIA national championship twice, twelve tournament titles, and finished with a 116-16 record. Other honors James has received include:

Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities in 1979; member of the 1980 International NAIA wrestling team; and honoree at the 1981 Oklahoma Sports Headliner awards.

Although James is a recent graduate, he has had much coaching experience. This past year he taught at Sequoyah Middle School and served as assistant wrestling coach under head coach Byron Graham. He served as graduate assistant to Eddie Griffin in 1980-81 when Central State won the national championship in

wrestling for the second time.

James has also served as an instructor for wrestling camps in Oklahoma, Texas and Georgia.

He also worked with world champ Lee Kemp and NCAA champ LeRoy Smith at a United States Wrestling Federation clinic.

James is now recruiting new wrestlers and setting his goals for a national championship team this year.

Both men also teach general health and physical education classes in addition to their coaching responsibilities.

Parent recruits 7 runners for track and cross country Paul Parent, Central State University's men's track and field and cross country coach, has received verbal commitments from seven Oklahoma prep standouts.

Agreeing to become Broncho runners next season are: Scott Perrin of Woodward; Ken Berry of Midwest City; Otis Ervin, Oklahoma City Douglass; Craig Hall, Duncan; Rodney Buss, Beaver; Willie Curleychief, Anadarko; and Kirk Baze, Enid.

Perrin won the 600 meters at the state indoor meet last season,

but missed the Class 3A outdoor season because of a leg injury. As a junior, he won the half-mile race at the state meet, ran anchor on the sixth place two mile relay team and won the 1,000 meters at the indoor meet.

Berry was second at the state 4A track meet in the high hurdles after winning that event at regionals and district. He also ran the intermediate hurdles as well as helping out on the 440 and mile relay teams.

Ervin was runner-up in the 3A state 440 race and anchored the

Japanese artist displays talent in university gallery The CSU Art Gallery is presenting the work of former CSU student, Yoshiko Matsuba McComb, now through June 31.

Yoshiko, a native of Osaka, Japan now lives in Nimrod Arkansas with her husband Robert McComb.

McComb's paintings are of both the Sumie and Western styles. Dean Hyde, a professor in the art department said that he can see the Arkansas influence appearing in her watercolor paintings.

The Sumie style of painting is represented by black strokes on a white background. This style of

painting requires discipline and concentration. McComb uses color to bring emphasis to the painting.

McComb received her bachelor's degree in Commercial Art and her masters in Art Education, both from CSU. She has also spent eight years in intensive training in Japan.

Hyde said she often refered to herself as a "misplaced Japanese in Arkansas."

McComb's paintings will be on display in the Art Gallery, room 109, in the Art Building. The Gallery hours are 8 a.m. through 3 p.m. weekdays.

Profits from video games surprising

By Virginia Tack With all the quarters an individual plugs into video games, chances are that they haven't come close to the cost of buying one. Despite the huge amount of money spent on these games, to actually purchase one would be a sizeable investment. A new PacMan game costs around $2,500.

Expensive as the games are, however, the video craze is here and the possibility of being on the receiving end of all those quarters does sound enriching.

The market for these amazing little games seems endless. They appeal to people from all walks of life. There seems to be a constant

growth of these games everywhere. Wherever people may have a little extra time and some loose change, a .aame is just around the corner. The willingness of people to play is evident.

A video game in a busy place can make as much as $600 a week.

Investing in a video game brings other advantages besides the possiblility of making money. Investors receive tax benefits plus an endless supply of free games.

Although all this sounds like an investor could make a fortune in the video game industry, there are some other factors to consider.

Contest open to undergrads The George E. Forsythe Student Paper Competition is now open to undergraduates and high school students.

This is an opportunity to submit original ideas on any topic related to computers and their applications.

The best papers will be published in "Communications of the ACM" and the author will receive awards.

Any student who has not received a bachelor's degree is eligible.

Due date for the complete paper is September 30. Due date for stating intent to send a paper is July 15. Receipt of the paper will be acknowledged.

For more information write to The ACM Student Paper Cornpetition, co Dr. C. L. Liu, Department of Computer Science, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois 61801.

The obvious problem is the money. Since distributors of the machines deal mostly with large buyers, it is doubtful they will finance a game. Unless the investor has the cash, it means a loan from a bank or finance cornpany will have to be made along with interest charges.

Another problem to research before buying is where to put the machine. There is an infinite number of places where they could be placed, but a buyer should look for certain factors.

To make money on the machine it should be placed in a well traveled area. To make sure the money is not stolen, it should be placed in a safe place.

Also, the owner of the establishment will want his share of the profits. Many times this is 50 percent or more according to the safety of the place and how much business it does. The only other problem with finding a place for the machines is that many places do not want an

owner of a single machine. They can draw up contracts with the large owners for replacements, repairs and exchanges on machines of all types.

The video game market is without a doubt a lucrative industry. But if the Pac-Man fever breaks all at once the game could be over for the investors. The desire to make money must outweigh the risk of losing it.

If investing in a video game,

even on a small scale, is not convenient there are other options.

Instead of dropping quarter after quarter into the machines, a home version for the family television screen can be purchased or even a hand held model. With these two types of games, some of the noise is missing and the monsters are not as clear, but the thrill is still there.
