Central State University, Edmond, Oklahoma

State and college regents meet College regents hire new internal auditor By Bretta Barritt Staff Writer The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges hired an internal auditor to monitor the six state regional universities at a meeting Monday in the President's Conference Room at Central State University. Tom Volturo, current assistant director in the State Auditor's Office, will begin his new role as full-time internal auditor for the college regents sometime before August 1. Senate Bill 77, which was passed in July 1987, requires each board of regents of higher education to hire a sufficient number of internal auditors to oversee fiscal accountability, said Scott Fern, general counsel to the regents. Fern said State Auditor Clifton Scott told regents that once the internal auditing program was underway the regents would probably require a total of three full-time auditors. The regents had consulted with Scott for direction in establishing the new position. Attorney General Robert Henry commended the college regents for hiring an internal auditor at the joint meeting of the college regents and the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education at noon Tuesday. Volturo will work with the regents preexisting audit committee and will develop and implement a system of monitoring the six regional universities overseen by the board, Fern said. Fern said universities will now have three levels of auditing: an internal auditor to assist the board of regents, an external audit conducted annually, and the state investigative audit conducted every four or five years.

Storm cuts power

By Ann Hamilton Student Writer Many Central State University students arrived Tuesday morning to find no lights, air conditioning or computers due to an electrical power outage after a thunderstorm swept through Edmond. Assistant Electrical Super-

intendent for the City of Edmond Jerry Campbell said about 3:30 a.m. winds in excess of 65 mph ripped through the Edmond area, tearing tree limbs from their trunks and throwing them into power lines. "There were no major out-

Holy Cow! Batman's here! By Bryan Goodwin Student Writer Bam! Crash! Pow! "Batman" has hit the theaters. Not even the threat of fire could keep Batman fans from seeing what this movie was all about Friday. A short in the transformer at a local theater made some smoke and delayed the showing, but several Central -State University students endured the waif. to catch the first possible showing of the movie. Why would college stu-

dents want to get out and wait in line for a movie with a story-line that originated from a comic book? Curiosity seemed to be the biggest reason. Several students wanted to know how similar the movie would be to the television series or comic book. CSU student Terry White, a Batman fan since 1966, said it was about time Batman got the credit he deserved. Jeff Young, an employee at the CSU bookstore, said "I re-

ally enjoyed the old 1 6airnan' series. I wanted to see the movie just to see if they have 'Bill Boom! Zwap!' when Batman punches people." Doug Cherry, attending CSU this summer as a religion major at Oklahoma Baptist University, said Batman seemed like he was more of an avenger of his parents' death than a crime fighter, but overall it was a great movie. The Joker played by Jack

By Keith Purtell Student Writer Following what may have been the first official meeting ever between the Oklahoma State Regents and the college regents, the state regents raised admission standards in a meeting Monday at Central State University. At their general meeting in the University Center, the regents voted unanimously to implement a five-year plan to phase in stricter requirements for grade point average, ACT and SAT scores, and rank within high school graduating class. "The plan will be final in Fall of 1993," said Jeanie Edney, director of communications for the regents. "Currently, students must be in the top two-thirds of their graduating class, have a GPA of 2.7 and score at least a 16 on the ACT. Eventually, that will be changed to the top half of their graduating class, a 19 on the ACT and a higher GPA which has yet to be determined." Edney said the purpose of the regents' plan is to improve the quality of education in Oklahoma. "One of the main objectives is to increase the potential for a student's success in the college environment," Edney said. "Although there are many reasons why students drop out after their first year at college, the regents feel that, by elevating admission standards, the students admitted under the new program will have the ability to succeed in baccalaureate programs." Edney said an example of some existing problems were presented in CSU professor Dr. Ann Lynch's statement to the regents at the public hearing. Please see STANDARDS on page 8.

Viewpoints Readin', Writin' and Accountability By Larry Floyd Editor in chief

The private sector has long understood the reasons for strict management accountability; government institutions always seem to learn this lesson the hard way. The financial scandal surrounding former Southeastern State University President Leon Hibbs is another hard lesson for the state higher education system. And this scandal comes at a time when Central State University's administration is learning its own lesson in fiscal responsibility—a much-publicized state investigative audit that has revealed improper diversion of funds to a foundation account and questionable employment practices in the physical plant. But at least the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges seems to be doing its homework. The board's recent strengthening of the annual audit procedures for regional universities and consideration of a full-time internal auditor to monitor these schools indicate the regents are beginning to understand the need for, and benefits of, accountability at the regional schools. The most obvious result of stricter accountability at these schools should be the prevention of overt, unauthorized expenditure of funds seen at state colleges and universities over the past several years. The regents' increased specifications for the annual audit and the hiring of an internal auditor should at least act as a discouragement to administrators determined

to spend funds as they—and not the regents— see fit. Another benefit of this increased accountability should be improved decision-making by the regents and university administrators. For example, a thorough audit resulted in the disclosure of inadequate record-keeping and sloppy management of the State Education and Employee Insurance Program, and stopped the regents from moving forward recently with plans to join the program. Without this information the regents could have plunged employees of the regional universities into this mess. And coming at a time the state is increasing funding of education, the regents' push for accountability from university administrators may do much to put the state's Legislature and

Editorial taxpayers at ease regarding the efficient use of these increased funds. The record $644 million higher education budget allocations for fiscal year 1989-90 will probably receive additional support from the Legislature in the years to come only if the regents' changes prevent more of these fiscal scandals at the universities. The regents deserve high marks for their attempts to increase accountability at the regional universities. Administrators at these universities who follow the regents' lesson plan could do much to benefit their schools and higher education in Oklahoma.

CSU needs better communication To the Editor.

I am a full-time student living here at CSU this summer. I plan to stay here till fall of '90. I eat at the cafeteria and fill out financial-aid forms, housing forms and enrollment forms just like everyone else. I have only one question. Why is it so hard to get the correct information from CSU offices? I need to know things: like when my financial-aid papers or loan papers will be in; when

do I fill out an interim contract; can I still get my mail during interim; and finally, why didn't anyone see the request I made for a non-smoker on my summer residence hall application? Why is it when I try to call the housing office to see if I'll get my mail when I live here during interim, they say, "No,it will be held at the University Center Post Office." The University Center Post Office says, no, they deliver eveything every day, even

during the interim. The head resident says, "Yes, sure you'll get your mail if you stay here during interim." I sure wish I had called her first! As my friend says, the housing office's first answer to everything is "No!" When I asked if I could rent a refrigerator during interim, I was first told that only if I rent it for fall semester. "No," I said, "I only want it for interim. I will eat at the cafeteria in the fall."

Photography lab "the pits" To the Editor:

Workers stand in three inches of stagnant water and work with outdated and dilapidated equipment. This could be labor conditions in the late 1800s. Instead, it is a condition that Central State University photography students face every day when they descend into, what one student aptly named, "the pit." The CSU student photo lab located in the basement of the Communications Building

has appalling working conditions. Water standing throughout the lab at any time of the year. The mold and stagnation, mixed with the stench of photo chemistry, are not swept out of the lab by the inadequate ventilation. The film and print developing rooms are as light tight as a sieve. This is supposed to be a positive learning experience? This lack of adequate equipment and supplies, as well as the poor working environment, can be attributed to lack of funding.

In order to see a clean, modern photography lab with state-of-the-art lab equipment, cameras and supplies— and a comfortable budget— one need only walk upstairs to CSU's Photographic Services. Perhaps the administration of this institution needs to rethink its priorities and redistribute funding with more emphasis on academic programs. Specifically, it should take steps to improve the facilities for photo students and student-publications photographers. Steven Akins

Finally, they said I could rent it for a certain rate per week. I thought only salesman did this? Why is it I'm told that when I paid my tuition with my loan check, that the balance will be in a certain office in a couple of days. OK, so I go there at the right time; it's not there. They tell me maybe next week. I call next week. "No, you'll have to wait to get a letter in the mail next month telling when you'll get your balance." Meanwhile, I have to pay for books, supplies, and fallscmester dorm deposits out of my own money that I need for other things. But for the students that have no back-up money or parents who can't help them, what do they do? I'm not condemning the whole school, but these few things can drive a student batty! Getting the correct information should be an easy thing—not like dealing with the government! I understand the red tape and other agencies the college has to deal with. I understand that we must be glad for what we've got sometimes. But it just seems that here, within the university, we could learn to communicate! Mary Jane Dossett

CSU poet dies By Stephanie Brudzinski Student Writer

Kenneth A. (Kenny) Barnes, 34, a poet and former Central State University student in the Creative Studies department, died June 13 at Mercy Hospital after a lengthy illness. He was the author of a half-dozen small books of poetry called chapbooks, said (Lora) Dewey Finley, media consultant in the

creative studies department. "He was a unique individual with a world of talent, but his special gifts included a genius for editing; for helping other writers," said Bill Gammill, CSU artist-in-residence and Barnes' poetry teacher. Plans are underway to establish a Kenny Barnes Scholarship in Poetry at CSU, Finley said.

`Voices' praised By Stephanie Brudzinski Student Writer

Since the beginning of last summer, Assistant Professor of Music Dr. Samuel Magrill's electro-acoustic music work, "Children's Voices," has been performed seven times across the country. Children's Voices is a musical collage of Magrill's daughters voices which were composed into an eight voice polyphonic texture, Magrill said. "I created scales out of their sounds," Magrill said. The work was produced at the L.A. Harbor College Electronic Music Studio, he said. The piece premiered October 1988 in Olympia, Washington at the National Conference of the Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States at Evergreen State College. In Boston the piece was performed at the Computers and Music Conference at Massachusetts College of Art sponsored by the Boston Computer Society, a recital series at Central State University and the Southern California Resource for Los Angeles County Museum of Art. This spring it was per-

formed twice during the California Institute of the Arts XIII Annual Contemporary Music Festival. The most recent presentation was in May on Program 6 of the Electronic and Computer Studios at Michigan State University. "It's wonderful to have so many performances of a composition in so many varied environments," Magrill said. "I'm also delighted that there are so many forums for the presentation of tape music." Magrill, who coordinates the theory/composition department and the computer music lab, will have his composition for piano titled "Deep Fork Variations" published in the Deep Fork Anthology. The anthology is a collection of music, art, poetry and texts about Oklahoma compiled by the College of Liberal Arts. "I'm hoping to write some more music here although it's been very busy organizing all these other projects," Magrill said. He is also the recipient of an American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) award for several other of his performances and compositions.

Nigh shares state's humor with visiting senior citizens By Debra Dinse Student Writer

Oklahoma is like a cake...several ingredients brought it together," said former Gov. George Nigh during an Oklahoma history and geography class he taught in Oklahoma City for the Elderhostel program June 19. The program, which was sponsored by Central State University, featured Nigh's class, "Oklahoma: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow," as the first of several classes senior citizens from across the nation attended during their weeklong stay in Oklahoma City. This class was not the first

encounter Nigh has had with the Elderhostel program. In 1980, when Nigh was in office, he proclaimed July 13-19 as Elderhostel Week at Oklahoma State University. Similar activities were conducted that year at the OSU campus. According to Nigh's 1980 proclamation, senior citizens are subjected to stereotyping and fixed incomes but have a continuing need for intellectual stimulation to ensure their well-being. Nigh began class by instructing elderhostel participants how to properly pronounce "Oklahoma". Included in his informative

lecture were witty bits of information about Oklahoma's geological location relative to surrounding states. "Kansas gives thanks to the Almighty every day because without us they would touch Texas," Nigh said. Nigh also explained to the senior citizens what Oklahoma is like. "Oklahoma is really two states in one—West Arkansas and East Texas," he said. "It is divided into flat hills and rolling plains." "Oklahoma is the heartbeat of the nation...where it all comes together," Nigh said.

The treaty that gave the United States possession of half of Mexico's territorial possessions was written in Mexico City, she said.

"Tequisquiapan is such a pretty little place because they ban cars downtown, and they have everything whitewashed," said Phillips. Before leaving the states for Mexico, students are responsible for making a notebook on some aspect of the trip, said Phillips. "By doing the report they can get to know what they're seeing."

Campus Crime

Highlighting the 34 calls to CSU Campus Police the past two weeks was a vandalism report at the college of business in the new courtyard area. A park bench and a flower pot were destroyed by vandals the night of June 14 with damages estimated to be nearly $400. Two calls which involved fire alarms were caused by electrical storms and were not fire related. The police also responded to 19 escorts, eight motorist assists, a found property, a domestic call involving arguing spouses, a trespassing (by a juvenile), a suspicious person report and an unauthorized entry after hours report. Dating from the week of June 6 through June 12, Campus Police responded to 22 calls. These calls were left out of last week's campus crime report.

Old North work eyed By Bill Kramer Staff Writer

Plans to replace the clock on Old North are now underway, along with intentions of reroofing the 97-year-old building, which was the first higher-education structure in the state of Oklahoma. Bids have not yet been received nor has the work been assigned to a particular company, said Director of Purchasing Ron Mattingly.

"It is not known how much funding will be needed for the project, which is hoped to be completed within the next year," Mattingly said. The delay in accepting bids for the clock restoration is a result of the lack of qualified persons for such work in the area, said Institutional Research Director Ed Cunliff. "We would like to maintain the historical integrity of the tower, and to do that the

proper sources must be found for issuing the work," said Cunliff. The project is only in the planning stages at this time and probably several months from actual completion, Cunliff said. The clock was first placed into the Old North tower in 1912, although the dials for the face of the clock were made in 1894, said CSU library archivist Mary Lou Bond.

Autism camp scheduled By Gary Ingram Student Writer

A one-day special education camp for autistic children will be held 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 30 at the Oklahoma Foundation for Disabled Children in Oklahoma City. "The camp will consist of approximately 10 children diagnosed autistic and 30 volunteers from the behavorial sciences," said Dr. Edward Collins, associate professor of special education at Central State University. Those participating in the camp are students and faculty in occupational therapy from the Oklahoma University Health Center in Norman and

Trekkies club on campus

students in special education from OU. "The day camp program will allow children diagnosed as autistic to go to camp like normal children," Collins said. "There will be arts, crafts and other activities for the children." These activities include video-playback procedure, which will allow children to do self-modeling by watching their behavior, and computer program application, where children will work with various graphic programs and games for experience in handling computers, he said. The students will gain experience in teaching and

working with autistic children, Collins said. "Autism is a very unusual organic condition once thought to be psychologically in-based," Collins said. "The general characteristics include lack of verbal skills in communication, extreme aloofness, and a lack of appropriate social behaviors. "It's more appropriately thought of as a sensory deficit disorder rather than the thought disorder associated with schizophrenia. Autistics basically live in their own little world." For more information or permission to volunteer, contact Dr. Collins at 340-1354.

Members 'boldly go' to monthly meetings By Kamal Mazlan Staff Writer

"To boldly go where no man has gone before" is still the rallying cry for the Edmond Star Trek Club, which includes 25 Central State University students and holds its monthly meetings in University Center. Membership has declined considerably because of loss of interest and support. Some club members have moved to other places, and the newlook "Star Trek" TV series has not quite captured the imagi-

nation and ratings of the TV audience. Even so, the starship Enterprise and its crew members— Captain Kirk, science officer Spock, Dr. "Bones" McCoy, navigator Chekhov, helmsman Sulu and communications officer Uhura—still draw some hardcore fans, or Trekkies, as they are called. The club meets the second Saturday of each month, and $15 in annual dues is required from members. Earl Griffith, the club president said, "We don't keep a re-

Formed in 1968, the club was originally intended for good, clean, friendship and conversation, Griffith said. The club's committee members and board of directors are elected from "any Trekkie who wants the job," Griffith said. "We're a non-profit organization and if we make any money from our activities, we'll give it all away to charitable or worthy causes. The club also publishes its own monthly magazine Star Trek Ship, which is edited by Erline Tassone, Griffith's daughter and the club treasurer. The club's next meeting is scheduled at 6:30 p.m. July 8 in the Oklahoma Room at the University Center. Anyone interested in joining the club can either attend the meeting, or visit the club headquarters at 2829 Tenth Drive, Edmond, or call 751-1335. Or, they can just catch Captain Kirk and the Enterprise crew at the movies or on TV.

Home econ to offer fall dietetics course By Gary Ingram Student Writer

The department of home economics will offer the Professional Practice Program, a course dealing with dietetics, this fall at Cental State University. Dietetics is the study of nutrition as it pertains to an individual or a group of individuals, relating to quantity, quality and value of foods

involved in the diet thereof. "Previously, students graduating with a bachelor's degree in dietetics would have had to go through a 12-month internship," said Dr. Donna Watson, assistant professor and chairperson of home economics. The program will utilize major city clinics as well as smaller health departments, she said.

Sports Coach's Corner Pete Rose's hearing scheduled for 1999? By John Lukehart Sports Editor

veryone in favor of the ruling to delay Pete Rose's future raise your hand. Everyone who isn't in favor, raise your hand. Now, everyone who is tired of hearing about it raise your hand. Innocent until proven guilty, due process, fairness in the courts all are what made this country different from all the rest. But, lets get on with it. Did Pete or didn't Pete bet on baseball. All of the allegations surfaced what seems like years ago, but nothing has happened. At least the allegations have made it to the courts; however, Judge Norbert Nadel made a ruling that baseball cornmisioner Bartlett Giamatti had prejudged Rose and put this week's hearing on hold until July 6. Once the case finally does reach the courts and a decision is made, how many appeals will there be? The allegations against Rose could still be bouncing from courtroom to courtroom next season. Personally, I like Pete Rose. If he bet on baseball, that is bad. If he bet on the Cincinnati Reds that is worse. But, if he bet on the Reds to lose, kick him out of baseball. Anyone disagree? Rose was in a position to alter the outcome of baseball games numerous times, I'm sure. And to alter the outcome of a professional baseball game is, at least, enough to ban Rose from baseball. Oh, the results of the vote: Five are in favor of the delay; three disagree with the ruling, and 91 people are tired of hearing about it. One person thought Rose still played baseball, so I threw his vote out.

Camp held at Kickingbird By Todd Steiner Student Writer Kickingbird Golf Course in Edmond sponsored The South Central Section Professional Golfers of America Junior Golf Academy June 18-23. The campers stayed in East Hall at Central State University, and were fed at the CSU cafeteria. Academy Coordinator Danny Hickman said, "The camp overall was a great success." This is the first year an Oklahoma area golf course has sponsored a camp like this. Thirty-three boys, ages 11-17, attended the academy from Okla., Ark. and southern Kansas. Hickman said, "It was open

to any male or female but no females attended for reasons we can't figure out." "The campers really enjoyed all the activities we offered them throughout the week," Hickman said. The schedule of events was different everyday. We had daily instruction from several Okla. area golf professionals, Hickman said. Other activities included: A long drive contest by the 1983 Long Drive Champion, Terry Forcum; films and pictures of the 33 campers in action; a rules exhibition by Golf Rules Specialist, Doug Brecht, and golf films on instruction. "The most enjoyable recreational events were, "Chip and

Gridders sign three, return 17 starters By Todd Steiner Student Writer Central State University's football recruits for the upcoming season are few in number, but that shouldn't hurt the Bronchos' playing ability this fall, the coaching staff says. "The returning 17 starters, whose positions are already taken, will leave only five opening positions for anyone wanting to earn them," recruiting coordinator and defensive back coach Chuck Bailey said. Recruiting efforts have signed three newcomers attempting to fill these spots: offensive lineman Craig Albracht, from Amarillo, Texas; Gus Bradshaw from Claremore; and defensive lineman

Otis Colbert from Tulsa. "Practice will begin August 9 for the Bronchos, and it will be very intense in order to get everyone into the shape they need to be in," Bailey said. "CSU's chances of winning the conference championship are just as good as any other team in the league, but we will have to stay healthy and work very hard in practice," Bailey said. The Bronchos will kick off the season at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 2nd battling University of Nebraska at Omaha, a newcomer to the Lone Star Conferece. The game will be held one week earlier than last year because of the one added game to the now 11 game schedule in the conference.

Kickingbird staff members said they hope they will be able to sponsor this academy again next year because it was such agreat success.

CSU athletes `say no to drugs' By Mark Davis Guest Writer At a time when the popularity of sports is at a peak in America, the trend to be the best athlete of any given sport is also at an all time high. To accomplish this feat, many athletes are using abilityenhancing drugs that enable them to get the most of their innate athletic ability. This new problem was especially evident during the events of the 1988 Summer Olympic Games when several well-known athletes were disqualified from competing after random drug sampling indicated positive drug use among the athletes. That, and other incidents where athletes of other sports were disqualified, has led to

speculation—and finger pointing—about any athlete excelling in any particular sport. Innocent athletes are hurt most by such speculation. Though most of the attention has been focused on athletes competing at the worldclass level, studies made by various sources show the abuse of steroids is being deteced at all levels of competition. In fact, some studies show abuse of these drugs have even infiltrated some high school athletic programs. Members of the Central State University track team shared their opinion on this sensitive issue recently. "As far as athletes using drugs are concerned," Aaron Sprague, middle-distance

runner from Yukon, said, "If it didn't directly affect me, I wouldn't care. But, I have to be against it because I don't want to compete against someone who takes drugs." Most objections made against athletes taking drugs are based on moral values and judgements, but there are also physical hazards which make it an unpopular issue. Steroids, which are synthetic male hormones, can cause temporary acne and balding, upset hormonal production and damage the heart and kidneys. Medical experts suspect that steroids may also contribute to liver cancer and atherosclerosis. The drugs can stunt growth by acclerating bone maturation. Physicians also speculate that the chemicals may compromise the de-

veloping reproductive 'systems of young children. Steroid users have experienced a shrinking of the testicles and impotence. Coach Paul Parent also voiced strong criticism about the issue of drugs and athletes. "There's a problem when an athlete wants to risk so much just to be considered among

Coach Hunt searches for baseball recruits

By Todd Steiner Student Writer Central State University's baseball coach Bobby Hunt is recruiting heavily for the upcoming spring season after losing "quite a few players this year." "We are going to have to build up the team because we are weak at some positions," Hunt said. The team lost the starting outfield of Steve Henson in left, John Ginsterblum in center and Bill Richmond in right. "The outfielders will be tough to replace but, with the new recruits and the returning players we have," Hunt said, "we will do just as well as last year, if not better."

OFF THE BENCH... Academics played a major role in the lives of four track athletes this spring when they were honored as academic All-American in four difficult fields of study, said Coach Paul Parent. Honored students include: Michael Hogan, an accounting major with a 3.58 grade point average; Steven Pete Martinez, a criminal justice major with a 3.28 GPA; Bill Upgrove, a history major with a 3.36 GPA; and Paula Ryan, a biology major with a 3.97 GPA. Parent said he stresses to all his athletes that academics should take priority over everything because a student's future relies entirely on his

academic performance and not his athletic performance. "It just goes to show you that not all athletes are going to school to play sports, but, more importantly, to get a good education," Parent said.

The Central State University tennis courts are open to all CSU students this summer from sun-up to sun-down, as long as the the courts are not abused, said Francis Baxter, CSU tennis coach.

Former Central State University defensive back Neil Galbraith, was drafted by the New England Patroits of the National Football League this spring, said Chuck Bailey, recruiting coordinator and defensive back coach. Galbraith flew to Buffalo, N.Y., June 21, for a mini-camp tryout with the Patriots, Bailey said.

Baxter said, "As long as individuals who use the courts do not abuse them, and wear the proper athletic shoes, anyone will be able to play." Baxter said, the only time students can not use the tennis courts is when tennis classes are in session. Summer classes are scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday.

STANDARDS Continued from page 1

"Dr. Lynch spoke of the difficulties which result from students of varying reading abilities being in college-level classes," Edney said. "Instructors are unable to teach to several different levels at the same time, so they tend to focus on a middle level and leave others feeling frustrated. The new standards would put more students on the same level of comprehension and ability." The five-year plan will give high school students time to prepare for the new goals, Edney said. "The regents feel that the new entrance requirements will serve as a catalyst for high school students," Edney said. "Once students understand the reason for the standards, and see the time table for implementation, we believe they will be motivated to meet those reqirements." The new admission standards will not prevent anyone from pursuing a college education, Edney said. "Colleges have, and will maintain, alternative admission standards," Edney said. "If a student does not meet the requirements for ACT scores and grade point average, and yet the institution feels there is reason to believe the student will suceed in college, they may admit that person." However, Edney said there are some limits on how many students a college may admit under such circumstances. "Each year they may admit 5 percent of entering freshmen

BATMAN

Nicholson seemed to make the movie, and he was by far the best character, Cherry said. The audience seemed to like the Joker more than they hate him, he added. Amy Turner, sophomore education major at CSU, said she liked the relationship between the characters Bruce Wayne and photojournalist Vicki Vale. She also liked the way Vicki Vale was allowed to know that Bruce Wayne was Batman, unlike in "Superman" where Lois Lane never ends up knowing who Superman is. Some of the viewers were dissappointed that Robin, Batman's right-hand man in the television series and comic books, did not appear in the movie. Long-time Batman fan Brad Bolen said Robin comes into the "Batman" saga later to make Batman use more intellect instead of violence in his fight against crime. The general reaction of the people was that the movie was not like the comic book adventure or the television series, but it still had all the adven-

or 50 students under alternative admission, whichever is greater," Edney said. The new admission standards will not prevent any high school graduate from having a chance at a college education, according to Darrell Gilliland, acting director of Admissions and Records. "My personal feeling is it's a very good move and it goes along with the general mission to improve higher education," Gilliland said. "It isn't going to adversely affect CSU, primarily because the standards are directed at new high school graduates. And the high schools are doing a better job of preparing students who are college-bound." Gilliland said the student body at CSU is made up of an unusually diverse group of people. "Many CSU students are transfer students, many are mature students, and those students we address differently than recent high school graduates," Gilliland said. "They have the opportunity to attend a junior college and prove themselves." There is no foundation to fears that higher education in Oklahoma is becoming less accessible, Gilliland said. "One of the most important philosophies among the regents has always been that, at some institution in the state system, a student should have the opportunity to try," Gilliland said. "Every student who is a graduate of high school has a right to try at a junior college. So the access to higher education is still there, I think ture and excitment as the original "Batman." Holy cow! How can anyone concentrate on mid-terms?

they've just built a system so the students actually have a better chance of success." At the same meeting the regents also made changes in the Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant program. Edney said that, although the legislature had appropriated $2 million in extra funds, the initial calculations showed that under the existing OTAG system, only 947 students would have received the funds. "The regents have decided to base yearly award amounts on the preceding years tuition," Edney said. "This will allow 2,485 students to receive OTAG funds without lowering awards to any other students.

AUDITOR Continued from page 1

The board has made several changes in the past two months, Fern said. "What the board has done over the past 60 days is create a legal counsel function, an internal auditor function and, thirdly, increase the size of the staff budget," said Fern, who was hired by the board May 9. These three actions, Fern said, will help the regents carry out their responsibilities and help universities avoid major problems by detecting potential trouble early.
