Controversy exists over Perry's resignation
Vista photo by Chris White
Ground leveling has begun, for the future Simmons Park, located at the corner of Second St. and University Dr. Although the project was delayed because of rain, completion date is set for the beginning of the fall semester. In the distance, remodeling has begun on a yellow mansion which has seen better days. Almost every window is missing from the sills.
By Susan Green Regents accepted the resignation of Dr. James E. Perry, vice president for academic affairs, effective Sept. 30 instead of Perry's proposed resignation for May 1987, at their regular meeting Friday. Perry has retained an attorney and may challenge the terms of his resignation, a regent's spokesman said. According to an article in the Daily Oklahoman, Perry asked that he be allowed to step down from his post a year from now and then become a tenured business professor at CSU for the 1987-1988 academic year. However, in an interview with the Vistaearlier, Perry said he had announced his resignation because the time had come for him to devote his time to another area. He also said the time has come for him to move on and that he was excited and ready to go. Perry also said he "had no specific plans at the present, but is going to explore a myriad of options." He also said "the academic field would have to offer a different style of opportunities before he became involved again." At the meeting, CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard submitted a recommendation to the Regents, which extended Perry's contract only through Sept. 30. Lillard gave two reasons, saying that when Perry submitted his resignation June 3, he requested it be effective the 1986-1987 year. The second reason Lillard said is that Perry requested a professor job for the 1987-1988 year, but CSU can't give a two-year contract, Lillard said. Only one year contracts are submitted at the university. "I thought it was unusual to announce a resignation before signing a contract. I couldn't grant what he wanted," Lillard said. The president said Perry's vacancy will be looked at closely in terms of the financial situation of the university. He said there will probably be an active and interim position filled because there won't be the enough time for a full search before the next school year begins. "He has requested to leave and I wish him the best," Lillard said. Perry was unavailable for comment.
Norman, Stillwater centers approved
Language center disapproved by Regents By Kim Voynar Associate Editor International students attending Twashakarris, Inc., the English Language Center in Edmond, no longer qualify for conditional admission to CSU or any other college or university in the state system. The center, owned by Dr. James E. Stewart, Assistant Professor of English, did not receive the approval of the State Regents for Higher Education. An evaluation team sent to the center Feb. 20, submitted a recommendation to the Regents that the center not be approved. The team withheld approval because the center had not addressed several major concerns listed from the 1985 visit. In addition, several additional areas of concern were raised at the 1986 visit. According to the report submitted by the evaluation team, the following were listed as concerns from the 1985 visit which have not
yet been addressed: 1. A better balance between teaching English for future learning purposes at the university level and teaching English in order to pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFFL). 2. Learning materials which are written specifically for English as a second language rather than for students whose native language is English. 3. An update of the recruitment brochures to include accurate information about the center and to eliminate pictures which are inappropriate. Also, the elimination of the statement "ELC is also certified by the Board of Higher Regents for Oklahoma Colleges and Universities." 4. A formal agreement with Central State University as to the benefits which ELC students may enjoy on campus. 5. A written statement as to the status of the ELC with the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
6. An increase in student enrollment. In addition, several areas of concern were listed from the 1986 visit: 7. The statement of purpose states, "The primary purpose of English Language Center is to prepare international students to meet the requirements of American colleges and universities." ELC interprets this to mean only that students will achieve the minimum necessary score on the TOEFFL. The survey team believes "English requirements" include the necessary training in notetaking, research skills and academic writing which will provide a student with the possibility of success. 8. Materials chosen are suitable for survival level courses in ELC. They do not provide the content, skills or interest level for academically-bound students. 9. No member of the faculty has sufficient training in ELC,
linguistics or rhetoric and composition. Faculty are primarily literature majors. The report commended the areas of strength of the center. Areas of strength listed were: 1. The good job being done by the faculty with the limited number of students and resources. 2. The willingness of the director to assist in securing housing for students. 3. The attempt to expand enrollment. Stewart became director of the center in August of 1980. He received control of 49 percent of the stock by notarized statement and control of the remaining 51 percent by proxy in December of 1981. The faculty of the center includes three full-time teachers including the principal, Javad Dadgostari. Each student attending the center pays $500 for the first term, and $400 for each subsequent term. According to the report, since
1983 there has been a dispute between the center and the Immigration and Naturalization Service over the issuance of a file number for the center. On October 19, 1984, the center filed suit against the Immigration and Naturalization Service of the United States of America and certain officers of the service for $40 million. International students wishing to attend a state college or university must receive a score of 500 or higher on the TOEFFL. However, if a student has cornpleted a minimum of 12 weeks of study at an approved English Language school, he can be admitted conditionally for one semester if he receives a score of at least 460 on the TOEFFL. Similar English Language schools in Norman and Stillwater received the approval of the evaluation team. Stewart was unavailable for comment.

Lillard gives Ph.D reply to alumnus Editor's note: In response to the letter that appears at the bottom of the page to The Vista from former student, J.D. Dunn, President Dr. Bill Lillard answers the question, "when will CSU have a Doctorial program" and "what must we do to assist bringing this concept into reality?" Dunn said the question was asked fifteen years ago and is still asked today. CSU has "submitted" requests asking for two doctorate programs—one request for a Doctorate of Arts and the other, a Doctorate in Business Administration. "The requests went to the State Regents for Higher Education and have not been approved but they have not been disapproved. We have the students to offer a doctorate program but it now depends on the financial situation of the university," Lillard said. The president explained degrees are rarely approved, doctorates are very expensive and they deal with smaller classes with fewer students. Lillard said there is nothing a student or citizen can do to bring the concept of a doctorate at Central State University to reality. He did say the university has taken the appropriate course of action, giving the Regents documentation stating 500 business students would be interested in the doctorate program if CSU were to offer the program. "We're still hoping we'll have the doctorate programs approved. It's not because we haven't asked for them," Lillard said.

Teacher education above others, Ph.D? To the editor: When institutions of higher learning are being discussed or compared in my presence, I seem to point out positive aspects of CSU. For example, outside of the University of Chicago, the College of Education at New York State University, and possibly the University of Arizona, I believe we have the finest college for educating teachers in the United States. Why can't other universities learn from CSU? I read in yesterday's Daily Oklahoman, the University of Oklahoma has re-organized or restructured the College of Education. Hopefully, it is now patterned after CSUs'. I realize all large universities cannot place as great an emphasis on all areas of higher learning as CSU does in education but, why have the program at all if it does not prepare one for triumphs over eventual realistic obstacles in the working world? I attribute much of the success of teachers being graduated from CSU to Dr. Dale Mullins, his faculty, and the extended studies of human behavior the College of Education offers. As an education major and sociology minor, I was perhaps able to gain more insight than others. For this, thanks also goes to Dr. Gene McBride and his teaching colleagues in the sociology department. I am proud my transcript shows 66 hours of psychology and sociology, 35
hours of workshops, labs, seminars, practicums, internships, and institutes and approximately 57 hours of courses in education. Another bonus which was a factor in the success of CSU graduates, was having to take the English proficiency examination prior to enrolling in junior level courses. My wife was offered a graduate teaching fellowship by our sister university south of OKC where she wanted to earn her doctorate. It simply could not compare with the academic standards to which she has been accustomed to. In addition, have you ever made efforts to do research in their library? The standards at CSU grow higher each year and our library is in direct contrast to any other university in Oklahoma, when it comes to the ease of finding a book or article. Because CSU did not have a Ph.D. program, my wife accepted an invitation •to teach at the University of Houston, where she is now. I completed six hours there and I feel it falls short of our facilities and graduate programs. Our computerized enrollment process allows us to pre-enroll almost four months prior to the first day of class. Other universities, University of Houston included, still have limited pre-enrollment periods of no more than a few weeks. In addition, one
must pay fees in person. At some major universities, only four days are allowed for every student to pay fees. (If you think our line is long at the cashier window, imagine standing in lines that extend around the administration building four times.) At one university with which I am familiar, those same lines exist for the one day allowed for the dropping or adding classes. How much longer must CSU be recognized by public schools all over the United States as one of the most, if not the most, outstanding university for training teachers, but lacks a doctoral program? Perhaps, if the state of Oklahoma does consolidate its university programs, CSU will benefit by becoming the institution for teacher education, and for training social workers and professional counselors. Our professors and instructors have the background and training and the excellence necessary for teaching doctor level courses. Our resources for research are outstanding, perhaps needing only a telecommunications hookup with other institutions. The question was asked fifteen years ago, "when will CSU have a Ph.D. program?" The question is still being asked. My question is, "what must we do to assist in bringing this concept into reality?" J.D. Dunn, M. Ed. Graduate of 1984

Dimension News: World, state and local Nigh clarifies bond project Gov. George Nigh is now clarifying why a seven-weekold executive order was not publicized, which said the state intended to issue $900 million in bonds. His clarification stemmed after an accusation of taking a bribe and questioned to whether he was in on a secret bond deal. Nigh said there was no intent to keep the order from reporters and that his attorney made the mistake of not giving the order to his press secretary. Nigh continued to say one cannot keep a $900 million bond issue secret, he has never tried to sneak anything by the people in the eight years he's been in office and he has never taken a bribe and never will.
Three escape from Lexington A corrections department spokesman from Lexington Correctional Center announced three inmates escaped Monday, but a fourth was caught as he tried to climb the fence. The inmates alledgedly used a metal table leg to break out a lamenated glass window, escaped to the exercise yard then placed blankets over the fence before climbing. Authorities say the three inmates escaped just minutes before the fourth was caught. Police are continuing a search in the Lexington and Purcell area.
Poll indicates 'world' opinions A poll released Wednesday showed America's high school leaders supported President Regan's decision to bomb Libya and believe women should be able to get an abortion without government interference. The poll, taken at Putnam City North High School at the Student Council Convention also showed students support the continuation of manned space flights and the SALT II treaty. They also believe the United States has a hunger problem. Close to 1,000 students from across the country are attending the convention where they were polled on national and international issues.
Pizza deliveries include beer Under an opinion released Tuesday by Attorney General Mike Turpen, Oklahomans can include beer in their delivery orders. This opinion was requested after a representative of Stillwater said police did not allow beer with the deliveries. The opinion applies to non-intoxicating or 3.2 beer from retailers licensed to sell the beer. If the opinion is approved, only unopened canned or bottled beer can be delivered. The request for beer delivery can be made over the telephone as long as the call is taken at a licensed establishment.
Readers' forum
Paper needs more editing To the editor: When I took a course in school publications, the Vista was mailed to secondary public schools throughout the United States. When I taught journalism in New Orleans, I received copies regularly. I wonder if high schools continue to receive the paper as an adjunct to text books. In the past I have been proud of what was produced by the CSU journalism department. I suppose that is why I was so surprised when I read the June 5 edition of the Vista. "RL's" article, "Professors assign trivial matters," was showered throughout with errors in grammar, poor word choice, and typographical errors. swiped ..." Isn't that colloquial? "... do lots of `readin, ritin and researchin.'" Rather than "lots," which one might think refers to a place where houses are constructed or the site of baseball games, wouldn't "extensive" be more appropriate? "... the task of spending all day at the library to copy it ..." Copy .r"
what, the library? "... the task of spending all day at the library ... or to pay ..." Shouldn't that be "paying" instead of "pay"? "... $.10 to $10.00, depending on how long, to make copies ..." $.10 to $10.00 depends not on "how long, to make copies," but on how many copies are made; and, doesn't "long" signify length? How long does Ms. "L" want copies, eleven inches, seventy-two inches? "Depending on the number of photocopies required" sounds better. "... he may face a long wait ..." Doesn't "may" have the connotation of permission? I also understand—though I learned differently in elementary school—the neuter gender for the third person pronoun is "one." Oh! How about the acceptance of the next statement? "... there is only five copiers at the library ..." Since when is one allowed to graduate from CSU and come back to write an article in our school publication when one is unable to make proper subject
.0"
; First came love...
verb agreement? Consider the next line. "The solution to the problem of wasted time at the library could be reduced easily ..." This says, eliminating the three prepositional phrases, "The solution ... could be reduced easily ..." What does the writer want reduced, "solutions" or wasted time? I suspect "simple test" was meant to have been "simple steps." Certainly "wit" in the final paragraph is a proof reading error. The article beneath Ms. "L's" is somewhat better punctuated. The subject matter of the second article appears to be written for adults, but the comprehension level is doubtful. Come on, Miss Green. If you are going to be an editor, then edit. I want the Vista to represent the very best in professional writing and in journalism skills. After all, you and your staff represent CSU for all of us. I have heard, "If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones." You are, therefore, welcome to go over my grammar and enlighten me on my errors. Should you elect to not print this letter, future editions of the Vista may self destruct. J.D. Dunn

Cocaine listed as death cause A state medical examiner announced cocaine was the product which killed Maryland basketball star Len Bias, which he alledgedly snorted minutes before collapsing in his dorm room. Dr. John Smialek said the cocaine interrupted the electrical activity in Bias' brain, causing the heart to beat irregularly. The 22-year-old All American died last Thursday, two days after being made the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft by the Boston Celtics. The prosecutor investigating Bias' death said he will look into the possibility of bringing a manslaugher charge against the person who provided the cocaine to Bias.

By Gary S. Rea It's summer once again and the usual crop of teen movies has hit the screen, but this time there is one with a new twist. "The Manhattan Project" — named after the code name for the first atomic bomb experiment during World War II — has the familiar boy-meets-girl angle found in other teen fare. What makes it different is that it is probably the only movie with a boy-builds-atomic bomb plot.
This film, produced by Marshall Brickman and directed by Ron Bozman, starts off with a handicap because of its rather hard-to-believe plot. It then rapid-
ly self-destructs as it strives to become a drama, teen film, and comedy all rolled into one. Like Paul's bomb, "The Manhattan Project" is a dud.
Review The protagonist, Paul Stevens (Christopher Collet),high school senior, finds the mysterious Dr. Matherson (John Lithgow) wooing his separated mother. At the same time, Matherson is heading an equally mysterious project at Medatomics Company, located just outside of Paul's home town of Ithaca, New York. The company, which claims to be engaged in nuclear medicine research and development, turns out to be a nuclear weapons manufacturing plant. Paul and his girlfriend Susie (Cynthia Nixon) decide to expose the plant's activities. They break into the plant and steal a sample of plutonium — but unknown to Paul, the sample is enough to make a 50 to 75 megaton bomb. The plot sickens when Paul decides, on the spur of the moment, to make an atomic bomb of his own to win the high school science fair. From there the plot disintegrates into a moronic chase scene with federal agents after Paul and Susie. What might have been a suspensful ending is then ruined by little bits of dark humor, ala "Dr. Strangelove", supplied by Lithgow.

Weeds dominate campus grass By Chris White Soon, a new "park" will grace our campus. It is a new garden of flowers, a new beautification project, a new location for the most populous plant on campus, possibly the world. That is, the unwanted, uncut, uncultivated, unattractive.. weed.
It is the time of year for the rampant onslaught of the erewhile unhalted growth of the unwanted Anthrophyta. In some locations around the campus, the cultivated flowers are growing outside of their respective planter, seeming to attempt escape from the ,
strangulation of the unchecked explosion of weeds. Heavy spring rains coupled with abundant interim sunshine has hastened the weeds take-over of the campus. Perhaps the thing to do is kill the grass and cultivate the "weeds". It would most certainly be the easier task.

Programs clear issue counselors available By Martha Giglio College life can be stressful to students with families, who are also taking extra classes to graduate faster. What if the student also carries a job as well? Some day the discovery of overextension may be felt. Where does the student turn? The Counseling and Testing Center offers a helping hand. According to Peggy Foster, coordinator of the Center. Qualified counselors are available to help students with many types of problems. "The three major areas the Center deals with are career, personal and academic counseling," Foster said. "Some of the common problems we handle are low self-
esteem, relationship problems and depression. We also deal with family problems, problems of overextension and anger control. Crisis intervention is another area. "Many people are presently using our services, which are free," Foster continued. She stressed strictest confidence is observed. In addition to Foster, there are several graduate level practicuum students who provide counseling for part of the Counseling Psychology Masters Program. They are under Foster's supervision. "One graduate student has a special interest in alcohol abuse problems and is concerned with helping individuals with this particular problem," Foster said.
"The graduate program provides a two semester practicuum for its students," explained Foster. "The program currently needs students with problems so the graduate students can counsel them." Counselors see students once a week for 50 minute sessions and the average student requires only six to eight sessions. The Counseling Center is located in room 210G in the Administration Building and is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday. The phone number is 341-2980, ext. 2215. Students are seen by appointment only, but Foster stated the counselors are also available on an emergency basis through the Student Health Center and dormitories.
Health care available By J Money The building located between Murdaugh Hall and West Hall, and east of the library is the Student Health Center. Its purpose is to provide medical care in time of need to all currently enrolled students and
serves as a source of medical attention for the student who is away from home. The Health Center is staffed with a Nurse Practitioner, two full time registered nurses, two part time registered nurses and four part time doctors.
Nurse practitioner treats students By Jack Money "The Director of the Student Health Center is the only Nurse Practitioner in the State to hold such a position," said Dr. Dudley Ryan, vice president of student services. Ms. Beth Camblin has held the position since June of 1961. She is a graduate of St. Anthony's School of Nursing in Oklahoma City. In 1971 ; Ms. Camblin was elected as a Fellow of the American College Health Association, the first nurse in the state to receive the honor since the
organization was formed in 1920. She was elected vice president of the Southwestern College Health Association and served two years as president due to the untimely death of the organization's president during her term. In 1977, she completed a course study at Northwestern University in Chicago and received her certificate as a College Health Nurse Practioner. She is trained to evaluate and treat health problems and to perform many of the responsibilities formerly assumed exclusively by physicians.
Facilities in the Health Center include a small pharmacy and a bed capacity of ten, five for boys and five for girls. The Health Center also has an emergency room to take care of injuries or sudden illness. Special services provided by the Health Center include influenza injections and Tuberculosis screening tests. Laboratory facilities are available for testing pap smears, testing for venereal disease, urinalysis, and throat cultures for strep. All students needing the services must show a valid I.D., and files on them are kept confidential. Only Student Health Center personnel has access to the files. The Center is open after 5 p.m during the regular semesters, Monday-Friday. Nurses are available on weekends. According to Dr. Dudley Ryan, vice president of student services, the biggest problem the Student Health Center has is notifying all the students on campus that it exists to serve them.

Jobs available By Gary S. Rea Students interested in part time or full time jobs can go to the Edmond Post Office, where applications will be accepted through Friday at 6 p.m. for the ClerkCarrier examination. According to Postmaster H. Dale Fowlkes, applications will be avialable at the Edmond Post Office during regular business hours. The examinations will be conducted within six to eight weeks after the June 27 application closing date. Applicants will be notified of the date, time and place of the examination, and sample questions will be forwarded to all applicants at the time of notification.
Applicants will be considered upon the basis of scores, beginning with the highest score and working downward. Those who pass the examination will be included on a register. This register will be used to fill future Distribution Clerk and City Carrier vacancies which may occur during the next two to three years. Starting salary for both positions is currently $9.67 an hour, with raises to $13.09 an hour. Applications will not be accepted after the Friday deadline. Further information is available by contacting the Postmaster at 405-341-1502 or the U.S. Postal Service Employment Office in Oklahoma City at 405-685-6824.
Broadcast, picnic served By Jane Meese "Prairie Home Companion" fans will soon have a chance to gather and listen to their radio show together. KCSC, is sponsoring "A Prairie Home Companion" picnic July 5 at Will Rogers Park in Oklahoma City. The picnic will start at 5 p.m. and admission is $1. Food and soft drinks will be provided but the public can bring picnics if they wish. "A Prairie Home Companion" is a radio show that is broadcast from St. Paul, Minnesota every Saturday evening at 5 p.m. and hosted by Garrison Keillor.
According to Tom Clare, a program director for CSU's radio stations, the show is the most popular radio program in the state of Oklahoma. "Other radio and television stations lose their audiences to it," said Clare. "The show makes us think of the good old days when we hear music and comedy like the programs of the 1930s and 1940s." After the show is broadcast on Saturday, two local bands, the Red Valley Barnstormers and the Friends of Tradition will perform for the crowd.

Jargon invades restaurant lingo By Mark Codner Associate Editor Restaurant employees have a language all their own. Long sentences are changed into one and two words, or simple phrases for efficiency and speed. Since work areas are different in the food service process, the language changes according to waiters and waitresses, kitchen staff and management.
When the customers leave and the table is re-set, a "table turn" has occurred.
Waiters and waitresses, sometimes known as waitron units, are the closest to the customers. They must be careful carrying trays of food and drink while passing other employees. Instead of saying watch out or get out of the way, they say "behind you". When food is dropped on the floor and it must be swept or mopped, all the debris and food particles are called "smegma". After the floor is clean and the waiter has many duties to catch up on, he is now "in the weeds" or has too many tables wanting everything at the same time. Unusual terms are used to describe the tables and the customers sitting at them also. When two people walk in the front door, they will sit at a "two top". When four people sit at a table, it is known as a "four top". If the waiter thinks the people will not tip very good, the clientele are called "low budget". After the food has been eaten and the plates removed from the table, some people will sit and talk for long periods of time. These people are called "campers".
The "food runner" takes the order out to whatever table it goes to and returns to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, waiters are called upon by a person sending hot food out to tables. The person, known as a "expediter", grabs the food off the shelf it passes over (the "pass shelf"), puts garnish ("gamey the plate") on it and asks for a "food runner".
Some restaurant terms are just now evolving. One new term found only in Oklahoma kitchens is "Rancher Bordelaise", also known as country gravy or chicken fry gravy. Restaurant management has also come out with their favorite new phrase; "happy about that" or "happy" for short. They only say this term in a condescending or sarcastic manner away from customers. The customer will not be able to tell if there is a problem or not. In order to avoid problems while dining out, make sure the tip is good or the term low budget clientele might be heard. If any smegma is spilled, the waitron unit will be forced to clean it up and will probably get into the weeds in the process. If food must be served quickly, the happy manager must be informed to serve the two top on the fly, or the table will not turn and the low budget clientele will turn into campers.
Bronchos place fourth, ladies make showing High national finishes in four sports, have given the sports program a fourth place tie in the annual NAIA All-Sports Competition, a NAIA Sports Information Directors Association spokesman said. Established in 1969, the AllSports program measures the success of an institution's overall athletic program by accumulation of points in post-season competition on the district, area and national levels. Adams State College won the men's competition with 129 points, followed by WisconsinLaCrosse with 114 and Wayland
Baptist Texas with 105. CSU and Central Washington tied for fourth with 101 each. CSU was the only Oklahoma university to place in the top 25. The Bronchos scored points through a national championship in wrestling, fifth at the indoor track championships, a quarterfinal berth in the football playoffs and placed 19 at the men's tennis championships. Wayland Baptist won the women's race with 130 points. CSU scored points in the women's competition but did not reach the top 25. There were no schools from Oklahoma in the women's top 25.

Vandenberg's Restaurant, located directly south of campus, serves the Edmond area a well rounded meal in true hotel style.
Menu receives praise By Mark Codner Associate Editor After visiting Vandenberg's Restaurant at the Sheraton for dinner, my dream menu was finally fulfilled. But first, the interior and other aspects should be discussed. The look of a picture from "Better Homes and Gardens" is the best way to describe the interior of Vandenberg's. A mellow pink and grass green shading of colors in the wallpaper and carpet is effectively blended to create an excellent atmosphere for dining. Table appearance is nice for business or pleasure. The aura recieved while in the establishment is relaxing and perfect for settling down to an enjoyable meal. To maintain a menu as good as Vandenberg's, service must be great. It is exceptional and highly refined in true hotel style.
My personal favorite is the Veal Oskar, sauteed veal slices topped with asparagus spears, crab meat and glazed with a burnt butter sauce. Other outstanding items include Fillet of Sole served three different ways (lightly flour patted, with an Almondine butter sauce or with Dijon Mustard Sauce),
Review
Veal Marsala, Roast Duckling and Seafood with Fettucine. Also there are two nice chicken dishes. One is sauteed and topped with crab, mushrooms , almonds and laced with hollandaise sauce. The other dish is sauteed and served with a tarragon wine sauce. On the beef side of the menu, there are six different dishes. Mentionable are the
Chateaubriand, Steak Au Poivre and the Filet which round out the entree selection in grand style. All entrees are served with a dinner salad and choice of potato or fresh vegetable. Oysters, Escargot (snail), Shrimp, Fettucine Carbonara, Gumbo and French Onion Soup complete the appetizer menu. My personal favorite is the silky, creamy Carbonara. Desserts vary from day to day. If the rest of the menu is any indication of the dessert du jour, sweet-toothed consumers should be happy. Plates range from $8.75-$32.00. All items are well worth the price and make Vandenberg's worth every hard-earned penny it recieves. The Sheraton's efforts to bring fine dining to Edmond are very much appreciated by this reviewer's palate and stomach.
Ancient Filipino fighting art graces area By Mark Codner Associate Editor Filipino style fencing came to the mid-continental region on June 14. Practitioner of Escrima for 38 years, Dionisio Canete, director of the Doce Pares Club in the Philipines, was scheduled for a seminar at the Hidden Sword martial arts center. Canete's schedule is booked solid until the fourth of July when elections will be held in the Phillipines. His agents in New York booked him in Oklahoma after finding the Hidden Sword worthy. Escrima (pronounced screama) which is also known as Arnis, is the word used for traditional filipino fencing. The Doce Pares Club (pronounced doochee paris) is the oldest Escrima club in the Phillipines. Canete's father has been elected president of the club 55 times in a row. The club uses belts to determine levels of ability.
Canete's father is a level 12 blackbelt which is the highest rank, while Canete is a level seven blackbelt. To determine rank, different weapons are used. In "Espada y daga" a long and a short stick is used, "solo baston" one long stick is used and in "sinawali" two long sticks are used. There are three types of training in Escrima. The first engaged in is "muestration" or "pandalaga", where the student demonstrates his skill in the basic techniques of swinging strokes and parrying (evading the enemy with like maneuvers). "Sangga at patama" where the players fight each other in prearranged patterns of movement is the second type and advanced students engage in fast moving freeplay exercises called "larga muton" in the last type of training. The object of the exercises is to
floor or disarm the opponent. When trying to disarm, a player aims for wrists. Points are scored if there is a clear hit. Escrima has a dual purpose in filipino history. Not only has it been taught as a deadly fighting art, but also as a type of dance at weddings and other ceremonies. The Spaniards banned Escrima in the sixteenth century after Ferdinand Magellan's Portuguese navigator was killed there by Mactan Chief Lapulapu who was believed to have been a master of Escrima. Because Escrima is an art which develops grace, balance, coordination, speed, endurance and fosters discipline, sportsmanship and courage, it is now taught in the military as well as the physical education departments of several universities. There will be an interview by senior Jackie Lacey with Canete this week on cable Channel Two.
