Search begins for Lillard's replacement

After 17 years as Central State University president, Bill J. Lillard announced Friday he will retire. Lillard made the surprise announcement at the monthly meeting of the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges. "Only one person knew of my decision before today, and that was my wife," Lillard said. The retirement will come next June at the end of the 1991-1992 fiscal year. "After 45 years in education, it is really hard for me to believe that I am saying this," Lillard said. "I realize I could have talked to some of you about this ahead of time, but I decided to do it this way so the whole board would know at the same time." Lillard said he had thought about this decision for the last four to six weeks and decided now was a good time to make the announcement. "I can do this with a clear conscience because the university has never been in a better situation," Lillard said. "That's the time to do this, when things are most positive." Lillard came to CSU in 1975 after serving Oklahoma City public schools for 30 years., He was district superintendent for nine years

The search will be on soon to replace retiring Central State University President Bill J. Lillard. Board of Regent's executive secretary Bette Leone said newlyelected board president Wayne Salisbury will determine the selection procedure for the new president. "Because of its (CSU's) size and complexity we want to make sure we have a large pool to select from," Salisbury said. The board will be looking for someone who has a national outlook with exposure in different parts of the country, Salisbury said. Past procedures have been to advertise the availability of the position and to appoint a campus screening committee composed of faculty, students, alumni, staff and regent board members to review applications, Leone said. The committee then presents to the board of regents a specified number of recommendations, and the board makes a final decision. "CSU has so much potential. With the right leadership, it's amazing what could happen. I'm really excited, and I'm really afraid," said Dr. Mary J. Nelson, president of CSU's chapter of the American Association of University Professors. V

"I've been a participant in some very exciting times in education in Oklahoma," Lillard said. During Lillard's tenure, CSU's enrollment has grown to more than 14,500 students, and more than 30,000 students have earned degrees.

Lillard said after he retires he and his wife, Mary Helen, plan to do some world traveling. He also hopes to do some writing. "The Board of Regents will have no trouble fmding a competent replacement to become president of CSU," Lillard said. "Their problem will be to select among the many qualified applicants for the position." V

Walters appoints communications director CSU alumnus Gean B. Atkinson selected for newly created position By Sam Powell

Editor in chief

Gov. David Walters has appointed Central State University alumnus and Desert Storm veteran Gean B. Atkinson as his new director of communications. Atkinson said he will attempt to make some positive changes in the press office to facilitate the flow of information. "One of the things we're going to try to do is structure the office a little more, to give the added capability to be able to respond a little quicker," Atkinson said. "We will institute some systems that will allow us to operate a little more efficiently, an extra person will help

add to the capability to respond to queries quicker." Atkinson said he will coordinate press, issue research and handle other communication needs for the governor's office. An official from the governor's office said Atkinson's job will be to oversee press secretary Bill Crain and public communications coordinator L.D. Barney. In addition, to Atkinson, Crain and Barney, Walters' press office includes Jeff Kaufman and Valerie Stahl. Atkinson is no stranger to politics. He was a Republican member of the state House of Representatives representing Edmond and part of northwest Oklahoma City from 1980 to 1984. He was president of Atkinson

Advertising Associates Inc., from 1975 to 1986. He said his experience in public relations has been heavily influenced by advertising. "In Oklahoma especially, you can't segregate the two," Atkinson said. "Advertising and PR are intrinsically tied together. We have always done a certain degree of public relations for our clients in addition to handling their advertising." For the next three years he was director of communications for Express Services, and from October 1989 to October 1990 he was president of Dividend Service Corp. Both Dividend and Express are personnel agencies. Atkinson recently returned to

Oklahoma after heading one of the three joint information bureaus for Desert Storm. He was responsible for the only Desert Storm joint information bureau located outside of Saudi Arabia. His duties involved coordinating the activities of the media covering U.S. forces throughout the United Arab Emirates, and censoring information which may have been classified for security reasons. Atkinson received a bachelor's degree from CSU in 1967 and a master's in 1977. Atkinson said he intends to make his job as Walter's communication director his primary occupation, aside from his duties as a Navy Reserve Officer. "That's all I'll do," Atkinson said. V

Death for sale

T

he barbaric practice of conducting public executions ended in America in the early part of this century, but there are now those who would bring it back. Since the 1930s the death penalty has been carried out in relative privacy. Executions have been witnessed by only a select few, which is as it should be. If executions are televised what will be the next step? An execution on television is not far removed from hanging someone in the town square. Are we going to bring back public flogging and stocks? Such a deplorable practice could even lead to a new definition of cruel and unusual punishment. On the plus side, public executions might repulse the viewer, which could bring an end to the death penalty. It would, however, make those being executed into momentary stars and actually glamorize taking a life. One thing is certain, network ratings would go through the stratosphere, which one suspects, is what the controversy is about anyway.

Education going down hill

T

here is good news and bad news for education in Oklahoma. First the good news, in a recent math study, a part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (commonly called the Nations Report Card), Oklahoma scored in the top 20. The bad news is, even the best students in the nation did miserably. At the top-scoring schools the average was well below grade level. Only 14 percent of eighth graders scored at the seventh grade level or above. The nature of these test results presents a challenge some future teachers may consider insurmountable. The results prompted one of the study's sponsors, Education Secretary Lamar Alexander, to declare an education emergency in the nation's schools. A frightening aspect of the results is we have known about the problems since the publication of "A Nation at Risk," a government study produced in 1983. The truly bad news, if House Bill 1017 fails the situation will only get worse.

Knowing the rules of the game By Jo Pydynkowsky

Guest Columnist

The other day someone asked me why politics seem so dirty. That is a great deal to ask of my brain before its noon wake-up call, but the reason most people don't understand politics and believe it's dirty is because they don't know it's a game, or understand the rules. Although there is no declarative rule book, I have, from close observation, discovered the basic rules all politicians observe: • Always smile, no matter what. • Never use your own money. The taxpayers have plenty. • Agree with everyone. • If you have to change from

one group to another, say you're changing your mind. It makes you look flexible. • Never commit yourself. Some universities offer a course in B.S. 1101; tuition assistance is available. • Make sure the voters know everything about your opponent, but wash your hands before you console him. • Never say anything incriminating even in a closed room. Remember Nixon? • Kiss any baby within reach. Mothers love it and fathers respect you because they wonder how you stand it. • Never tell your spouse what's going on. One of you should be innocent if only for the children's sake.

• Memorize four phrases: (1) I haven't heard anything about that. (2) I'll look into that as soon as I leave here. (3) My door will always be open. (4) I am innocent of any wrongdoing. Remember, politics is a team sport, so political appointments go to those who agree with you, those who give you money, those who can further your career, and members of your family. Now that the rules of politics are clearly understood, the latest antics of Gov. Walters should be admired. After all he is following the rules. As for him making an appointment to the Ethics Committee, isn't that a little like letting a weasel guard the hen house? V

Tuition at CSU will increase by nine percent in F all 1991, and student activity fees will increase $1 per credit hour. How do you feel about it?

"As important as education is, I am able to understand increases as long as the standards of the educators keep up with these increases."

"The only benefit I can see so far is a fountain and several benches around campus. I would like to see smaller classes ad teachers that have more interest in their students."

"I understand that an increase is necessary, but I feel an increase at this time, while we are in a recession, will be detrimental to a lot of students seeking a college degree."

Earn class credit without attending By Robert Barry Student Writer

There is an alternative at Central State University to spending long hours sitting in a classroom for four months to fulfill academic requirements. Correspondence study and advanced standing examinations are two options available that do not require class attendance, said Elizabeth Walker, CSU correspondence studies and testing coordinator. But, less than 10 percent of the student body is enrolled in either of these options, said Walker. "Students need to familiarize themselves with us to see what is offered," Walker said. "One student tested out of 12 hours and had his summer free." Anyone admitted to CSU may enroll in correspondence courses. Correspondence courses cost $37.50 per credit hour. Students may take as many courses as they wish if they do not exceed the course load limit of 20 hours for

Summer conferences keep some CSU programs afloat By Tina Northcutt

Student Writer

Summer conferences held at Central State University not only generate local business and help recruit high school students, but without the revenues from the conferences, many student services would not exist, said Robert Fields, auxiliary enterprises director. "Without the summer conferences, we couldn't keep the resident halls and cafeteria open," Fields said. "Even our toilet paper is paid for by our operations." Auxiliary enterprises is a selfsupporting department on campus that provides food and housing services to summer conferences for high school students. It relies on revenues from these services to pay staff salaries and utilities. Although the number of summer conferences decreased from 17 to 11, the increase in participants in Clark Terry's AllAmerican Jazz Camp and Festival and the new wrestling camp made up for the lack of participating

groups, said Judy Elwell, University Center activities director. The conferences are a recruitment vehicle for the campus. They allow students to have a first hand experience of the campus, Elwell said. The National Computer Educator's Institute is a summer conference that is in its 18th year at CSU. High school and college educators fill the 90 to 100 positions to earn graduate credit and to update computer knowledge, said William F. Morey, coordinator for the Institute. Clark Terry's All-American Jazz Camp and Festival, in its third year at CSU, brings some of the nation's top jazz musicians and educators together to teach participants ranging from age 13 to 48, said Susan Savage, CSU music department administrative secretary. "The faculty, comprised of 25 members, represents 11 states," Savage said. "They will teach during the day and then perform at night." Recently, 222 high school students attended an Oklahoma Association of Student Councils

(OASC) Leadership Workshop. The annual workshop has been held at CSU for the last 26 years, said T.C. Hardesty, OASC executuve director and activities director at Putnam City North High School. Heidi Nakonezny, a CSU graduate, said attending the OASC workshop encouraged her to be involved in high school activities. When the CSU High School/ College Relations Office contacted high school counselors for CSU Leadership Scholarship candidates, Nakonezny was named. "I was getting ready for college in 1987 and CSU was offering its first Leadership Scholarship. They sent me an application and I went through a competitive interview process," Nakonezny said. "At OASC, I was grouped with people from all over the state. Those people became my friends and several came to CSU." Student and adult groups who attend summer programs at CSU and leave the campus with a good, lasting first impression will return for future activities, Elwell said. V

Health services available at CSU By David Meadows Student Writer

The Central State University Student Health Center, located east of Max Chambers Library, is a health and wellness resource center for students, faculty and staff members. "I would like the summer students to know that the center is here for them," said Susan LaForge, RN, director of the center. "During the summer there's not a lot of traffic, so we're able to spend more time with the patients," LaForge said.

fall and spring and 10 hours for summer, said Walker. These programs are designed to benefit students who have conflicting work schedules, children or long distance commutes, Walker said. CSU uses three types of advanced standing examinations. College Level Exam Program (CLEP) and Defense Activity for Non—Traditional Educational Support (DANTES) are two of the most commonly used nationally standardized tests. CLEP and DANTES are $38 and $35 per test. Department exams, which cover the course content of the CSU class, cost $10 per credit hour and are offered only when the CSU department head believes the CLEP or DANTES are too broad. Although CSU Testing Center statistics show a 30 percent increase over last year in correspondence enrollment and a 38 percent increase in the number of advanced standing tests taken, Walker believes most CSU students are unaware of these options.

For some people retirement is an end, for others a beginning, but for one Central State University professor it was only a temporary diversion. Dr. Mari Scott, curriculum and instruction professor and 20-year CSU veteran, retired in May but will return to campus this fall as an adjunct professor. Though she spent 40 years in the classroom, teaching was not her first career choice. "I was majoring in music at the University of Oklahoma and began to realize I wasn't going to go professional," Scott said, "So, I did what everyone does at 18 when you don't know what to do, went into teaching." Scott began teaching music in Oklahoma City Public Schools in 1949, but said she had been interested in the way children think from the beginning of her education career. "The young ones in kindergarten and first grade take everything literally. You tell them it's raining cats and dogs outside, they'll go to the window expecting to see cats and dogs," Scott said. "They take everything at face value." After coming to CSU in 1971, Scott saw a need for additional training, in the area of early childhood development, for those wanting to teach kindergarten and first grade. "Elementary education was just too broad an area," Scott said. "There was a need for a compan-

ion certificate in nursery to third grade." In 1978 her desire for that additional training became a reality. Armed with the 1950s headstart research results and a federal grant, Scott worked with Drs. Nelda Ferguson and Ruth Taylor to develop a specific early childhood education program for CSU. "We had 75 teachers in the first program coming back for recertification strictly in early childhood," Scott said. A masters program in early childhood education was added in 1981. Scott said in May 1991 the program had 300 active candidates. "We've seen a real spurt in enrollment since House Bill 1017," Scott said. "I think it's a wonderful step forward." If 1017 is approved, all kindergarten teachers must be certified in early childhood development after 1993. "It may not be perfect, but it's a great start, especially in reducing class size," Scott said. And class size is an important ingredient in giving and getting a good education, Scott said. "With 35 kindergarten students in one class, you don't worry about teaching," Scott said. "In fact, you feel lucky if you don't lose one that day. "You'll go home and cry about it, because there is nothing you can really do. "To save people a few dollars, the children will be forced to continue taking the bitter tasting medicine of poor education if 1017 is defeated," Scott said. V

The New England Journal of Medicine stated that Oklahoma

has one of the lowest rates of people contracting Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) through blood transfusions in the country. Currently in central Oklahoma, chances of receiving HIV-infected blood is one in 500,000. "Blood is tested and the supply is safer than ever. With all the attention given to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) the blood centers must be more thorough," said Andrea Perisho, Red Cross medical associate. Though testing has improved, an eight-thy period, often referred to as the window period, exists where the HIV can remain undetected in an infected person's blood. "The antibody can be picked up in a shorter amount of time narrowing the window period because the test has improved," Perisho said. "Since 1985, the blood centers have implemented five new infectious disease tests for blood," Perisho said. These tests detect HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, adult leukemia, syphilis and undetectable forms of hepatitis. V

4 spikers commit to CSU By Bill Kramer Sports Editor

Four new recruits greet head volleyball coach Mark Herrin and the Lady Bronchos for the 1991-92 season. Herrin, in his second year, led Central State to a school-record 25 wins a year ago and returns seven lettermen next season, which combined with some "quality" newcomers, will make for a good year, according to Herrin. "This was a really good recruiting class," Herrin said. "Not that I know that much about good recruiting classes since this is only my second year here, but they are quality athletes." Sisters Shannon and Colleen Hallahan, both six-foot outside hitters have transferred from the University of Oklahoma. The former, a 6-2 sophomore, was All-League and team MVP at Mission San Jose High School in Fremont, Cal. She played only a year of volleyball at OU and two years of basketball. Her sister Colleen did not play volleyball there and has four years of eligibility remaining. Incoming freshman setters Carrie Peters and Lorie Dover both come from tradition-rich 5A Norman. Herrin said Peters was the premier setter in the state a year ago. She led Norman to an undisputed 5A crown and undfeated season. Collinsville prepster Amy Hopkins, a three-time 4A state tourney MVP, changed her mind about coming to CSU and enrolled at Northeastern State.

awards last week for his creative media guides, which rank among the best in the country for the second consecutive year. Kirk, in his fourth year at Central State University, won best in the nation in Wrestling Brochures for Divisions B-C (NCAA II and below) in the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Publications Contest. The same media guide was named best in the nation by Amateur Wrestling News earlier in the year. The volleyball media guide, also written, edited and designed by Kirk, was selected as the sixth best among 42 entries for Volleyball Brochures in Division B. His basketball media guide was named best in District VI and 15th among 58 entries in Men's Basketball Brochures for Division B. Kirk said the honors are nice, but he is happy when he's told by the media that his media guides are providing useful and informative material. "It's an honor anytime you're recognized by your peers for something you do. It's a good feeling," Kirk said. "My purpose is to serve the media. If a writer comes up and says, 'I liked your book. It provided me with a lot of information' then I'm happy. "If a book is fancy but it doesn't have the information people need, then nobody will like it."

Kirk said Scott Horton, CSU print shop art director, was a big help. "Scott was very helpful, working rough sketches into something usuable," Kirk said. Last year, Kirk's wrestling media guide also won national honors, rating best in the nation (Division B) for Wrestling Brochure Cover and second best for Wrestling Brochures. Kirk's basketball poster depicting Marlon Brown's monster slam dunk also took fourth-best for Posters a year ago. Kirk attributes much of his own success to what he learns from others in his profession. "There are no real rules. You take what you see from other people, and if you like it, use it." V
