Vol. 82, No. 58

Acting deans appointed for schools Three Central State University faculty members have been appointed acting deans of the schools of liberal arts, business and graduate studies.

Appointed Friday by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges were Dr. Frank Wert, who will serve as acting dean of the school of Liberal Arts and Dr. Joe Kinzer, acting dean of the school of Business.

Dr. John Micheal Knight was appointed acting dean of the graduate school at the May meeting of the Board of Regents.

The three will take over the duties of their respective offices for a one-year period beginning July 1.

Knight will replace Dr. Bill Fisher, who is retiring, chairman of the psychology department.

Knight joined the CSU faculty in 1973 as an instructor of psychology.

He earned his B.A. from CSU in 1968, his M.A. from Stephen F. Austin University in 1970 and his

Ph.D. in psychology from O.U. in 1974.

Wert is replacing Dr. Frank Finney who died May 15.

A 1967 graduate of the University of Iowa with a B.A. in political science, Wert holds an M.S. and a Ph.D. in economics from Colorado State University.

He has been an instructor at Colorado State University, assistant professor at Northeastern State College and most recently served as chariman of the economics department at CSU. Kinzer, an associate professor of management, replaces Di . Jim Brewster as acting dean of the School of Business. Brewster served as acting dean one year and will return to his full-time position as professor of management.

"A committee has spent the past year searching for a permanent dean for the school of Business," said Dr. James Perry, vice president for academic affairs.

"Therefore, we felt that rather than offer the position to someone with whom we did not feel

Kinzer earned his B.S. from OKlahoma State University in 1962, an M.S. in computer science

and management information systems from OSU in 1970, and an EdD. from Oklahoma State University in 1972.

He has taught at CAmeron College; served as assistant dean at Cameron and held an administrative position at OSU before coming to CSU.

Festival giveaway totals $13,000

Fireworks, parade, skydivers on tap for July 4

By Matthew Driskill Editor Edmond's twelfth annual July 4th Festival gets underway next Wednesday night with a little something for the entire family. The evening will kick off with a skydiving exhibition, followed by a music program, fireworks display and a raffle.

The events will take place at Wantland Stadium on the campus of Central State University beginning at 8:00 p.m.

Preparations for the festivities have been going since the end of last year according to Festival Committee President Gary Shomber.

"We really got started at the first of the year," Shomber said. "The people in charge of

the parade have been going a lot longer because of the time involved."

Shomber said plans for the celebrations this year include a parade through the downtown area beginning at 10:00 a.m.

The parade has over 100 entries with 40 of those being groups representing the Shriners.

Shomber said he looked forward to a "very good" celebration this year but was unsure of the turnout for the festival because of the day of the holiday.

"I don't know if we'll have the numbers this year that we did last year because the holiday is in the middle of the week...we hope to get a lot of people from the metro area," Shomber said.

Shomber went on to say that the perhaps the biggest draw of the celebration this year will be the fireworks display that will be held at Wantland Stadium on the campus.

Also on tap for festival goers is a rodeo that will begin on the 4th and continue through July 9.

There will also be a raffle with the grand prize being a 1984 Buick. Second prize is a video recorder. Those wishing to purchase tickets for the raffle can pick them up at several area merchants including Gootos Buick, Otasco, Weathers TV, Wynns IGA,

Snyders Hardware and Cooks Hardware.

All totaled there will be approximately $13,000 in prizes awarded for festival attendants.

The winner of the car does not need to be present to claim the prize, but all other prizes require the presence of the winner in order to win.

Shomber said the committee was actively selling the tickets to promote the festival and try to raise more money so that next year's celebration "could be even better."

"We are funded by the city one time each year...and they

are facing budget cuts so you know where that gets us, but we are trying to get more private donations for the festival."

A music program is on the agenda set to begin at 8:15 p.m.- on Wednesday at the stadium. It is directed by Lee Rucker and Coleman Smith, instructors of music at Central State University. The program will feature patriotic music.

The skydiving exhibition will kick off at 8:45 p.m. with four skydivers exiting the plane at around 7500-feet, according to Sooner Parachute Association President John Combs, a local attorney.

Enrollment falls 12 percent Despite a 25 percent drop in Central State University's summer budget with 25 percent fewer summer faculty, enrollment was down only about 12 percent according to figures released Tuesday.

Dr. Bill Lillard, CSU president, said the report was much brighter than he expected.

"We were not sure whether the drop in enrollment might equal or exceed the budget cutback," Lillard said. He also said enrollment went smoother than usual with most students beginning the process earlier than in previous years.

Total enrollment for the summer was 5,388, compared to last year's 6,133, a drop of 745 students.

The number of full-time equivalent students (based on six credit hours per student) is 4,019, down 598 for a decrease of 13 percent from a year ago.

All classes except seniors reported a drop from last summer's enrollment.

The number of seniors increased 8.3 percent. The university made every effort to maintain the summer classes needed for persons needing to meet graduation requirements.

The number of freshman enrolled for the summer was down 14 percent with nearly a 20 percent drop in graduate enrollment and 20 percent fewer sophomores. The number ofjuniors was down just over 8 percent.

An original budget of about $1 million for summer classes was reduced to $750,000. The cutbacks came as a result of falling state allocations to the university.

Foreign debts High risk loans to Latin America causing chaos

By Kathleen Neary The debt owed to foreign banks and governments by Latin American countries has reached an astounding $800 billion. These countries are in serious financial trouble and many are postponing and attempting to renegotiate the repayment of their loans.

stitution charges the borrower a set interest rate on the total sum borrowed.

The institute compensates for the decreased buying power of the dollar and reaps a profit off the loaned money.

It is difficult to determine who is responsible for this perplexity, however the main concern of all involved should be the speedy repayment of these loans.

When granting a loan, a financial in-

charges on the balance still owed— thus beginning a vicious cycle.

Ecuador suspended the payment of $245.5 million to foreign governments June 4, adding that they would continue to make the payments on $7 billion owed to foreign commercial banks.

Bolivia, on the other hand, postponed the payments on the $720 million owed to foreign commercial banks.

This created chaos on the stock exchange while the foreign exchange markets forced the U.S. dollar down.

So, what happens now?

Before other Latin American countries follow these examples, the banks need to find the nearest negotiating table. Granted these countries borrowed money and a certain percentage rate was agreed upon. But, it's time to choose the lesser of two evils.

If banks decrease or drop the finance charges on the balance still owed, these countries may be able to pay more on the balance and repay their loans faster. The banks will at least receive what they had originally lent. Then, chalk it up to experience, file it away and make sure the loan officers and credit bureaus receive copies.

Copiers collecting copious amounts of dust

By Gary Roughton Anyone who has hunted a photo copier machine lately on this campus has probably bitten off more than he had intended to chew.

The duplicating wonder, which is the student's alternative to long hours spent in the library, is apparently becoming extinct.

Although many machines are to be found, few are more than a shell of what once was. Many are in out of the way places collecting dust with signs

The copier on the first floor of the business building is hidden in a nook behind the vending machines below the stairs. It has been out of order since the spring semester.

Apparently, budget cuts are taking a bite out of everything, even something as simple as the copier machine. It could be due to a reduction in paper usage or a cut in the personnel used to service them. It could even be an effort to keep utility costs at a minimum.

Embassy move discouraged

By Lina Hammond One of the controversial issues that surfaced again this election year is the removal of the American embassy from Tel Aviv in Israel to the country's capital, Jerusalem.

Editorial Democratic candidates, Gary Hart and Walter Mondale, while scrambling for Jewish votes in New York, announced that they will support moving the embassy.

Furthermore, Senator Pat Moynihan, and Rep. Tom Lantos, are trying to pass a bill favoring the movement of the embassy.

Because Jerusalem is one of the

holiest cities for Moslems, Christian s and Jews, the city should not be a part of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

In 1980, the United Nations demanded that 13 nations with embassies in Jerusalem be moved. And now the only country with an embassy in Jerusalem is Costa Rica.

President Reagan has threatened to veto any bill that supports the movement of the embassy, which also supports Reagan's position as an impartial mediator in the Middle East.

Jerusalem was divided into two cities in 1948 when Israel became a state.

After the 1967 war between the Arabs and the Israelis, Jerusalem became a united city again; yet, after 17 years, the status of the city is not determined.

Whatever the reason, a copy costs the student a nickel which undoubtedly covers the cost of the machine. And if a profit is to be made, which most certainly there is, why would an institution facing such difficult times choose to neglect such an opportunity?

The answer is to keep the copiers serviced and in working order. Making copier machines available will not only benefit the students and their studies, it may just help this institution by adding to the financial pot.

Mormon youth conference ends

State,local world news Shuttle launch delayed Flight computers monitoring the space shuttle countdown with millisecond precision, choked off Discovery's engines Tuesday morning just four seconds before liftoff.

A sensor indicated a faulty fuel valve, triggering the dangerous launchpad abort.

On;y one of the shuttle's three main engines fired before it was shut down in a lightning-fast sequence. A second failed to achieve proper pressure and a third was told by the computer not to start up.

It meant back-to-back scrubs for the hard-luck shuttle and set back the schedule for its first launch indefinetly.

For a time, launch control considered emergency measures to get the crew of six out in a hurry, and commander Henry Hartsfield said later, "We were prepared to bail out if neccessary." It wasn't.

A computer malfunction forced the 24-hour delay of Discovery's first launch; the IBM system that was Monday's goat was Tuesday's hero, detecting the valve alarm and triggering the engine shutdown.

"One point I would like to make," Hartsfield commented. "The system did exactly what it is designed to do and I am very pleased about that. If there are engine problems, you want to know about them on the ground and not in the air." In that sense, he said, "This is a real confidence builder."

By Peggy Reganis If you thought there was a lot of excitment around Central State June 21-23, you were right. A Morman convention was held on campus for 290 young members, sixteen to eighteen years of age.

The theme this year is "A Time To Prepare" says Joe Smith, the chairmen for the youth convention. "A time to prepare for this•earth and what is to come."

Smith talked about the different activities that were planned, adding, "we have been preparing for this since January."

To raise funds for the conference, some of the youth had performed different odd jobs such as babysitting and car washing.

"Every year they have conferences so that the kids won't feel they are the only Mormans in the area," said one of the Elders.

The conference hosted youth from as far' away as Texas and as close as Oklahoma City.

Of the six speakers at the convention, two included Mike Hunsaker, who spoke on peer pressure and Wayne Hansaker, who held a workshop on family relations. Other topics were: Time Management, The Second Coming, House of Israel, Dating When and When Not. Smith was very enthused about Central State and mentioned that the food in our cafeteria is excellent.

A dance was held for the youth on Thursday night at the University Center. A clever ice breaker used is to give the young ladies a dance card. The object is to fill the card with as many different names as possible.

Smith said, "We suggest dressing up for the dances, grubby jeans are at no time appropriate. We screen the music as carefully as we can." The music was furnished by Bob Camp Productions.

W. Keith Garrett, first counselor of the Shawnee Oklahoma Ward, explained," Morman is just a nickname that we are known by.

Tax proposal defeated Oklahoma City voters soundly defeated a proposal to increase the sales tax by an additional penny on the dollar for the next five years in a special election Tuesday.

The city's share of sales tax will remain at the 2-cent level.

Turnout for the measure was higher than last November when the city first proposed the increase. The measure failed last fall by less than 500 votes.

City Councilman Jerry Gilbert who strongly opposed the added tax said he was confident the proposal would be defeated.

Gilbert refused to take credit for the defeat of the tax but said he hopes he helped to "articulate the issues."

Mayor Andy Coats and other council members attended a watch party for those in favor of the added tax.

Coats said he was disappointed by the defeat and said the city's "survival budget" will go into effect immediately. That budget calls for eliminatin of 56 personnel positions , a cutback in garbage service and closure of some of the city's junior pools.

Councilman Bob Frank, who initiated the petition for the tax said he was "terribly disappointed." Frank said the residents of the city will find out in the next two or three weeks that the city was serious about the cutbacks and the need for the tax.

Jackson meets with Castro The Rev. Jesse Jackson met for 4 and one-half hours with Cuban President Fidel Castro to seek the release of prisoners and improve U.S.-Cuban relations.

Their session was delayed in starting and ran an hour longer than scheduled. Following the meeting, Jackson and Castro went to a reception for Jackson's traveling party in the Palace of the Revolution without speaking to reporters about their discussions.

A joint news conference by Jackson and Castro scheduled after the meeting was held up at least an hour by the reception. Prior to the meeting Jackson said he felt "good vibrations" during his previous discussion with Castro Monday night.

OU ticket fuss looms The state Supremem Court issued an order Tuesday that sets the stage for a court battle over the University of Oklahoma's policy of issueing season tickets for Sooner football games.

The ruling grew out of a fight over rights to six choice 50-yard-line seats at Owen Field.

The fight has been waged in Oklahoma courts since 1982 when a man was awarded the tickets in a divorce decree.

Focus on international relationships

Professor calls for 'cerebration' Picnics and parades usually satisfy a patriot's urge to mark the anniversary of an historic event.

But a Central State University faculty member believes the quincentenery celebration of Columbus' discovery of America should be acknowledged more significantly.

"As well as celebration, we need cerebration," says Dr. Lawana Trout, a national consultant on the teaching of the humanities in secondary schools and reservation colleges and an assistant professor of English at CSU.

group convened for two days in Washington, D.C., to submit papers concerning the 500-year history since the event and to pool ideas. In addition to the scholars, consultants from different regions of the nation were invited on the second day to address issues surrounding Colubus' landing.

"We need a time for thinking about ourselves and our relationships to other nations and cultures," she belives.

Trout was Oklahoma's only representive in a group of scholars invited to investigate possible topics that would be pertinent to the anniversary in 1992.

Trout became involved in the conference through the Newberry Library D'Arcy McNickle's Center for the History of American Indians. For the past eight years, Trout has conducted a summer institute in American Indian Histories and Cultures for secondary school and college teachers at the Chicago center.

Sponsord by the National Endowment for the humanittes, the

The instructor described the intermingling of old and new world elements as "the Columbian exchange— a sharing of plants, animals, people, cultures and languages that became crucial to history."

Trout, who specializes in American Indian culture and history, incorperates the landing of Columbus and the influence he had on the native Americans in an American Indian literature course she teaches at CSU.

"This is a celebration that will blossom all over the country," Trout said. "1992 is not far away, but we have a chance to examine ideas and start now in classes to look at history and at what Columbus actually started."

"Our emphasis will not entirely

Dr. Lowana Trout

be on Columbus, the man and his accomplishments, but also on the 500 years of culture exchanged between the old and the new world," Trout explained.

"We look at Columbus' letters back to the old world and the Indian reactions to him," Trout said.

As a university professor, Trout would like to see more classes utilizing the Columbian influence as a background for their studies.

The Columbian exchange, she says, could be a part of history, literature, the humanities and other classes in which the students are already involved.

Trout also believes the quincentenery would offer an opportunity to reconsider the relationship between North and South America.

"North America should be strongly aware of South and Mesoamerica to function," she explained. "We are different nations, but our future is strongly related to the future of the Southern Hemisphere."

Trout has attended three conferences in Mexico to study Mayans and their classic city, Palenque. She has also been reading literature and history on the the pre-Columbian period in preparation for the anniversary, now eight years away.

"A celebration with Roman candles and a picnic is nice, but not all of that should be done," Trout said. "It should be a new look at American history itself that unites both the North and South Hemispheres."

Requirements raised in teacher education

By Cyndee Schwab Dr. Kenneth Elsner, Chairman of the Department of Professional Teacher Education, is responsible for the two-year-old Teacher Education Program at Central State.

Included in this program, instigated

by House Bill 1706, are various new entrance requirements. Students wishing to get into the Teacher Education Program now are required to have a grade point average of 2.50 compared with that previously of a 2.25; to take the Nelson-Denny standardized reading test, measuring reading skills; to write a 300-word essay, measuring written communication skills; and to participate in an interview which includes three people from the department in which he or she is involved, measuring oral communication skills.

After being accepted into the program, the student must maintain a 2.50 GPA, go through the Introduction to Teaching Observation Program, the new Junior Level teaching experience, and student teach for a full semester, all day long, every day.

"Things we are doing at Central State are of national interest to people."

After this rigorous testing, the time has come to graduate and get out into the field of teaching. Well, not yet. In January, 1982, The Oklahoma State Department of Education brought about the mandatory testing of all potentially licensed teachers.

According to the "Registration Bulletin 1984", The Oklahoma Teacher Certification Testing Program's purpose "is to ensure the academic achievement of each licensed teacher in the area he or she expects to teach. Any person who completed the teacher education program after 'Jan. 31, 1982 is required to pass the cur-

riculum examination before being licensed."

Having successfully passed the examination(s), the student is ready to teach. Well, maybe.

The new teachers must now pass an entry year program in which each teacher goes through during his/her first year as a teacher. The teacher is evaluated by a representative of the univerisity, the principal of the school and a cooperating teacher at the school.

After successfully passing this final stage in his education, he is now certified to teach that particular subject area anywhere in Oklahoma.

Each question is evaluated so that a certain percentage of students can pass that particular question.

Some questions which carry more weight are difficult so that only a small percentage can answer the question correctly. Other questions which are weighted less can be answered correctly by the majority of those taking the tests. The tests overall are geared so that 70 percent of all those taking the tests will pass.

"I thoroughly support this," declared Dr. Elsner. "It ensures that all people that are issued a license to teach by the Oklahoma State Department of Education are competent in their area."

The Social Studies area which includes tests in Earth Science, American History, Economics, Government, Oklahoma History, and World History tops the list averaging 54 percent between them.

The Language Arts area is also presenting some problems with the students including Journalism, Speech and Drama, Grammar and Composition, English Literature, American Literature, and Library Science averaging 62.5 percent between them.

Dr. Elsner has been giving presentations concerning Central State's Teacher Education Department at various national meetings for the past four years.

"This change was long

In the competition area, Central State's "scores are favorable to other institutions." Elsner commented.

"It insures that all people that

overdue."

"This change was long overdue," stated Dr. Elsner. Although "this has cut back in the enrollment in the Teacher Educaton Program," it has produced "a little more serious student," and it is no longer "a last thought decision to be a teacher."

The curriculum exams are offered four times a year, in Febuary, June, August and November, and cost $40 for the first test and $10 for each additional test up to a maximum of $80.

The money paid for these tests goes to the State Department of Educaton for the administration of the tests.

Representatives from public schools, higher educational schools and the State Department of Education, developed the objectives for the 'test.

National Evaluation Systems, Inc. from Amherst, Mass., then developed the questions.

The tests are criterion referenced and competency based. An important fact which is unknown to the majority of the students taking the exams is that all the questions do not carry the same weight.

In 1983, CSU's total percentage for all the testing dates averaged 78 percent with 643 tests passed out of 826 tests taken. These figures compare with both Oklahoma State University, which scored 79 percent with 747 tests passed out of 944 tests taken, and the University of Oklahoma, which scored 83 percent with 563 tests passed out of 678 tests taken.

"We're proud of our students.

We're not the leaders but we're comparable."

"We're proud of our students.

We're not the leaders but we are comparable," boasted Dr. Elsner.

The only results available for 1984 is for the testing date of February. CSU averaged a 73 percent while OSU averaged 84 percent and OU fared with 77 percent.

There are some areas of the testing program that seem to be more difficult than others, according to an annual report by Dr. Leslie Fisher, State Superintendent, State Department of Education.

are issued a license by the Oklahoma State Department of Education are competent in their area."

"Things we are doing at CSU are of national interest to people," proclaimed Dr. Elsner.

At least 30 states are in the process of new admission procedures, but not all have the components as Oklahoma.

Georgia and Florida are the leaders, then Oklahoma, in the admissions procedures, curriculum examinations, staff development, and entry-year programs.

"The students seem to be concerned (with the program) and we, the students and the teachers, are constantly evaluating the program," stated Dr. Elsner.

According to an article published in The Tower Review, Dr. Elsner concluded that the effectiveness of the exams "is uncertain at this point if the curriculum examinations are considered as a single component.

"As part of the comprehensive program included in HB 1706 the tests are a positive force in restructuring teacher education programs in Oklahoma."

Steve Fuller, owner of Windsor Limousine LTD, provides customers with the royal treatment.

CSU student opens limousine firm

By Kerry O'Donnell Associate Editor Have you ever wanted to have your own chauffer driven limousine?

CSU student Steve Fuller, 20, along with his brother, Timothy can fulfill such a dream.

Two months ago, the resourceful brothers opened their own limousine service, Windsor Limousine, LTD. "The name comes from the royal castle, in London, we wanted something that had a little prestige to it," stated Fuller.

Fuller, a Piedmont native has worked in the limousine business two and a half years prior to branching out on his own.

"This has provided me with the opportunity to be my own boss," stated Fuller.

The brothers purchased a late model white cadillac limousine with plush blue interior and tinted windows. It is equipped wth a bar. The limousine accommodates up to six passengers.

Windsor Limousine, LTD caters to their customers wishes according to Fuller.

Upon request they will furnish the customer with whatever they want such as drinks and flowers. There is an additional cost, however.

Fuller also employs two certified bodygaurds for those who feel safety is a necessity.

"Since I have been in the business, I know what the people expect," stated Fuller.

"Some want everything done for them, others just want you to drive, they don't want doors opened for them.

Everyone acts differently."

"These details are worked out in advance, when the reservations are made, so the customers can expect the kind of service they want," he said.

The charge for the limousine is $35 per hour.

"The price can be negotiated according to how long our services are needed," stated Fuller.

The price includes a formally uniformed chauffer.

"The drivers will wear a formal suit or just a business suit, according to what the customer desires," Fuller said.

Fuller and his family have lived in the Piedmont area for 17 years.

"I felt this was a good location because it is in the middle of the areas we will be serving," said Fuller. The areas include Mustang, Edmond, Yukon, Kingfisher and Okarche as well as the Oklahoma City area.

Fuller is a Sociology major at CSU and is taking courses in child development.

Along with his limousine business, Fuller sells video games and does volunteer work for the Genesis project and is a volunteer counselor for the Boys Club.

"This is a fun business and you meet so many different people," Fuller said. "People really react strangely to us when we pull up somewhere. I think they expect to see someone famous get out of the car."

Fuller and his brother have three limousines now and they

plan to add more for their business venture. They are available 24 hours per day and are more than willing to be flexible to the needs of their customers.

"The business is generally good throughout the year.

Proms, weddings, birthdays, holidays as well as the ballet

Summer Olympics controversial

Boycott provokes remarks

By Marcie Everhart For the first time since 1932, the Summer Olympics will be held in the United States of America. More countries will be participating than ever before—with approximately 7,800 athletes from 142 countries sending their best to compete.

But, there have also been 14 nations, including the Soviet Union, to pull out of the cornpetition recently, in retaliation of the boycott by President Carter in 1980.

Buddy Armstrong, CSU head basketball coach, commented, "I think there's some politics involved in it, and the ones it really hurts are the athletes who have been in training for many, many years and are not allowed to reach their goals. But, we can't be overly critical of them because we did the same thing."

Head football coach Gary Howard doesn't think politics should mix with sports.

"From the coaching standpoint, if they're going to have those types of games, politics should not play a part at all. It seems that the most difficult thing is keeping politics from sports when it's on an international level or between countries with different philosophies of life, different societies and governments. It appears almost impossible to keep those persons charged with a government position from interfering," Howard stated.

Doug Folks, sports information director, doesn't think it's fair to the athletes of any country.

"I think after what President Carter did four years ago," Folks said, "it's inevitable."

Dr. John George, political science professor, claims he was the first to call for a spectator boycott of the 1980 Olympics in 1977: "I had t-

very important institution in establishing world friendship and maintaining world peace."

Charles Murdock, CSU athletic director, said "Frankly, I expected it after we boycotted in '80. When you put national politics in sports,

"I had T-shirts in 1979 that said 'Boycott Moscow Olympics 1980' on the back. I felt spectators should not go and spend their money in the world's most obnoxious dictatorship." shirts in 1979 that said `Boycott Moscow Olympics 1980' on the back. I felt spectators should not go and spend their money in the world's most obnoxious dictatorship.

"As to the 84 Olympics, if the Soviets and their chums don't want to come, let them stay home. There are rumors that the Soviets don't have quite the team they're supposed to. They don't want to be embarrassed."

Kiron Nair, 22, of Lanchire, England, feels the Soviets should come.

"Everything goes into politics today. Really, people are all the same. Russia is not any different than us," Nair said, "If Russia comes, there will be competition. Otherwise, it is one-sided."

Dr. Dewayne Dotson, accounting professor, thinks it is unfortunate that political considerations affect international sports: "The Olympics is a

it confuses everything. I've always felt that the Olympics have become so commercialized. They've lost the true meaning of the competition. Our athletes, for example Mark Spitz and Bruce Jenner, have used the Olympics to become financially secure the rest of their lives. It takes out the amateur aspect of competition.

"The media has turned it into a medal race or what country has the most gold and silver or what country has the most medals, not what individual."

The two-week-long games will be held in Los Angeles July 27 to Aug. 12. The Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee plans to raise $513,000,000 and spend $498,000,000. ABC agreed to pay $225,000,000 for rights to cover the games before the boycott occurred.

Ticket sales totaling $86,000,000 have already been sold. Thirty companies have bought Olympic sponsorships starting at $4,000,000 each, resulting in "Official Olympic" cameras, snack food, film, convenient stores, and cars. It is estimated that the economy in Los Angeles will be stimulated to the tune of 3.3 billion dollars.

Concerning the economics involved in the Olympics, Ken Self, 29, of Oklahoma City, remarked, "I think in our highly-pressurized economic situation now, that anything that is going to pump a large amount of money into the economy certainly can't be all bad, because all that money does have to be taxed."

Henry McCormick, 27, of Muskogee, commented, "People get together and make a little money. It's just commonplace. It only seems natural to supply what people want like trinkets, t-shirts, and buttons. It is not the main idea of the Olympics, but it is a memory to remind them and show that they were there."

According to Robert Boker, 20, of Edmond, "They'll do anything. If you can make a buck, do it. This is America."

Becky Davis, 17, of Okemah, remarked, "It's getting a little ridiculous. They're getting away from the meaning of it. It's like Christmas, it's too commercialized."

Allison Watson, 20, of Shawnee, exclaimed, "What I don't understand is why the tickets are so high. My parents were going to go, but the tickets are 200 bucks a piece!

Capitalism is alive and well."

'Men don't rape-rapists rape!'

By Karen Vaught According to Terry Flaugher, former assistant district attorney, one out of every three women will be assaulted and one out of every six will be raped nationwide.

The best chance to prevent being one of these victims is to be aware! The "Self Protection for Women Workshop" that Mrs. Carol Parker conducts at Central State University each summer provides opportunities to learn self-protection.

Parker has conducted these workshops for more than 10 years. Her average workshop enrollment is 75 per semester, except in the summer when it is limited to 50. Accordng to Parker, "none of the women who have ever attended her workshops have been raped."

Parker teaches self protection, not self defense. "Self protection can include self defense but self defense rarely includes self protection," she said.

By learnng self protection you

recognize that the best defense against assault or rape is to be aware.

Rapists look for availabilty and defenselessness in their victims so avoid being vulnerable by following these tips for self protection: Keep your car in good runnng order by checking all mechanical parts. A well maintained car offers little chance of an emergency situation.

Don't pick up strangers or allow them to pick you up.

Keep your gas tank half full and keep maps in the car.

Never leave your car unlocked and park in well lighted areas.

If car trouble occurs stay in the car whenever possible.

When walking, don't walk near bushes and shrubs or other places of possible concealment.

If someone is following you turn around and look, yell fire fire and continue screaming until you reach safety.

Most importantly walk with confidence, try to keep arms free and walk at a steady pace and always try to vary

your route a little each day.

At home, never leave doors or windows unlocked.

Ask repairmen for ID's and if in doubt do not let them in.

Install peepholes in doors and use them.

After moving into a new house or apartment it is a good idea to change the door locks because previous tenants or former employees may still have keys.

Get to know a neighbor you trust in an emergency situation.

These tips are only a few of the ways to educate oneself in self protection.

Since statistcs are so high that one out of six women wll be raped, one needs to be aware of what to do if it happens to you or a friend or a family member.

If a rape does occur the first thing to be done is to call the local police and the Rape Crisis Hot Line-524-7273.

Accordng to Janie Taylor, an active member of the YWCA's Rape Crisis Center, the Rape Crisis Team is on call

24-hours-a-day to assist rape victims and their famlies by offering emotional support, reassurance and information.

Oklahoma Memorial Hospital is recommended as the place for rape victims to seek medical treatment because of their staff trained for expertly gathering evidence necessary to successfully prosecute a rape case.

Rape incidents double in the summer due to the availability and defenselessness of victims so be aware of where you are and who is around you. Remove yourself from the list of potential rape victms by being aware.

Being aware, walking with confidence and using your intuition are three of your best weapons against any type of assault, particularly rape.

After attendng the Self Protection Workshop for Women it becomes clear that your brain should be your first, second and third defense and it becomes important to remember that "Men don't rape-Rapists rape!," Janie Taylor said.

Hope House Facility offers aid to chemical dependents

By Kerry O'Donnell Associate Editor The Hope House Recovery Service in Oklahoma City is a transitional living facility for women ages 18-65, who are recovering from chemical addiction.

It is being provided to those individuals who have been in treatment and are making a transition back into society and need a temporary home.

Carol Price, executive director and a CSU student, has been an important force in establishing this unique service.

"I was aware of a need for this type of facility.

There was really no place for people to go when they get out of treatment. Sometimes the only place people have to go is back to the environment that caused their problems, this is not conducive to their treatment," stated Price.

Price was approached by the Oklahoma Recovery Foundation to take on the admnistrative duties of this new facility.

"I jumped on it," said Price. "I've worked in this area for over two years now and so I can see how beneficial it is for these people to have our support, care and love and we have a lot of that," Price said.

Located at 1601 NW 16 in Oklahoma City, the Hope House is a privately funded facility.

"The ladies pay their own way," said Price. The standard charge of $75 per week includes room and board.

This is an opportunity for the ladies to get back on

their feet," Price said. "We adjust this rate according to their income. People can stay up to six months. Many do not stay this long. This offers the women a chance to find a job and get back into society.

The Hope House is limited to 10 people. There are certain responsibilities that are required. Each is assigned an area to keep clean, and daily chores are mapped out.

"Residents of the Hope House must be in on weeknights at 10:30 p.m. and midnight on weekends unless they have overnight passes," said Price.

"They must also attend three treatment meetings per week," she added.

Price is grateful for the opportunity to help in this way.

"I have learned so much about people, they get along a lot better than you would think. Because there is a common bond, we are a little more tolerant and understanding with each other," stated Price.

Price holds an associates degree in Sociology from South Oklahoma City Junior College. She is furthering her education in Crminal Justice at CSU, and expects to graduate next May. Price credits Dr. Elizabeth Burger, sociology professor, as a contributing factor in her work.

"She's been real helpful. If I don't know how to deal with people with these types of problems, she has become instrumental in helping me approach them," Price said.

The opportunities,that the Hope House is offering to these people reinforces the work that Price is doing.

"Our goal is to help these women to once again become productive members of society and selfsufficient. We want to build self-esteem, let them know they are loved, because they are loved," Price said.

One resident expressed how most feel who stay at Hope House.

"They help you to get your balance more or less.

They don't ride you hard but you are expected to do so much and take care of your responsibilities. As long as you are tryng, this place will bend over backwards to help you."

"Carol is hard to beat, she doesn't put up with nonsense and that's the only way to handle it," she said.

An open house is planned for July 8 from 1 until 6 p.m.

"This is to let people know that we're here and to let them know what we do because as far as I know this is the only facilty like the in the state," according to Price.

As for Price, she plans to continue her work at the Hope House.

She also plans to persue a career in law.

"I have learned a lot and have been able to watch people grow up and change," stated Price.

"Sometimes I see myself in these people."

First public relations club formed

By Tina Nye Students sometimes complain about the lack of enthusiasm and participation from the Central State student body, however when enthusiasm and participation is shown, many say it often goes unrecongnized.

In January a group of enthusiastic public relation students formed Central State University's

first Public Relations Club (P.R.C.) Beginning only with desire, they have paved their way to to become a professional association.

"There are two public relation degrees, public relation in journalism and public relation in communication, offered by CSU and we felt that the club would bring

the two closer and enable them to work together," Rusty Barfield, president of P.S.C. added.

The club is sponsored by Barbara Norman, chairman of Oral Communication, and Dennie Hall, assistant professor of journalism.

"Our sponsors help us in any way they can, many times without asking," Barfield explained,

"They give us a considerable

amount of support."

"Next semester's goal is to have our constitution ratified by CSU student senate, and to become an affiliate of Public Relation Student Society of America, which is a national organization that works with the Public Relation Society of America at conferences and workshops," Barfield said.

Club officers for the fall

semester are: Rusty Barfield, president; Karen Bently, secretary; Lisa Queri, treasurer; and Cherie Smith, public relations coordinator.

Interested public relation majors, or related majors, maintaining a minimum grade point of 2.0 and enrolled in 12 or more semester hours, 6 or more semester hours for graduate students, are encouraged to join.

And, a photo contest open to all interested students has been set for September 24.

Dr. Woody Gaddis outlined some of the advantages of such a club as OPS, saying, "In a club like this people are gathered with a common interest. We can sponsor competitions, exhibit our

work, and possibly open a small salon to feature anybody's work even offcampus photographers. We hope to be able to bring in professional photographers as guest speakers to give our members a look at the real world and sponsor high-quality shows."

Gaddis went on to point out that East Texas University recently sponsored a show featuring pictures by people from seven different countries, which is a goal the club would like to accomplish. Possibly using a show such as this a fund-raising tool.

Meetings are held on the first and third Wednesday of every month. Any interested party can find out more about the OPS and its scheduled events by contacting one of the officers or sponsors.

'84 football team looks promising

By John Philbin CSU head football Coach Gary Howard sounded an optimistic note of praise for two returning starters with the beginning of fall practice less than two months away.

Senior linebacker and last year's first All-American Ed Desherow and All-District center Ron Whiteley are seen to be th leaders on offense and defense to the CSU squad which will return seven additional starters from last year.

Both are Edmond High School graduates.

Both are outstanding senior players and legitimate AllAmerican candidates.

Coach Howard said Desherow is a returning first team All-American and will be in the same category.

Clifford Burney and Chris Esmond are the other two returning offensive starters and both share time at tight end.

Ron Whiteley

Defensively, Ricky Oliver, defensive end; Bo Mathews, defensive end; Doug Williams, defensive tackle; Mike Tasby, Linebacker and Randy Preston, cornerback, will all be returning to a fine defensive team with valuable experience at those positions.

Asked about any offensive

Ed Desherow

changes coach Howard stated "after the evaluations of spring practice and the loss of Randy Page at quarter back our offense will probably emphasize more of a running game. However, we also have good good depth at running backs and will continue to run the option. Basically, though our game will be the same."
