Interim funds approved by regents From staff reports
The State Regents for Higher Education approved interim allotments to the state's higher education institutions last week at their June 24 meeting. The interim allotments will begin with fiscal year starting on July 1. The regents said the interim allotments are equal to the allotments made for the first quarter of 1986-87, and said the allotments will be revised later after the higher education appropriations bill is passed by the
legislature and signed by the Governor. The higher education appropriations bill is under review currently by the General Conference Committee on Appropriations in the legislature, and the regents expect the legislature to take final action on the measure this month. In other business, the regents elected officers for 1987-88. Avalon B. Reece, Muskogee educator, was elected chairman of the Regents, succeeding Bob F.
Allee of Elk City. Reece was the vice chairman of the Regents for 1986-87 and secretary of the board in 1985-86. Oklahoma City attorney J.D. Helms was elected to the post of vice chairman of the regents for 1987-88. Helmes served as secretary of the board in 1986-87, and was appointed to the board in 1981 by former Governor George Nigh. Mrs. Joffa Kerr was elected secretary of the regents, and has served on the board since 1982.
Joe F. Gary, Durant businessman, was elected to the post of assistant secretary of the regents. Gary has served the board since 1971, and has been chairman in 1975-76 and 1983-84. The regents have also taken under study two proposals for tuition increases. The legislature is currently considering a plan estimated at raising $20 million in revenue. The two plans the regents are considering are different than the legislature's plan, but would raise about the same
amount of money. The first plan calls for an across-the-board 28 percent raise in tuitions, while the second calls for increasing lower division class tuitions by 21 percent, upper level classes by one and one half times the lower base, and graduate courses by two times the lower base. Both of the alternative plans would net the state $20 million in revenues.The regents will not take action on fee and tuition increases until later this month.
Funeral service chief leaves for challenge By Danny Collins Student Writer
"When I arrived in 1964, I saw great potential for this institution, and I still see potential for Central State," said John Cage in reflection of his chairmanship at CSU's Department of Funeral Service. Cage's 24 year career at Central State will conclude at the semester's end. Cage has announced he will return to his almamater, Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science, after a forty year absence to act as dean of the institution. "Funeral science has a lot of growing to do," Cage said. "It's a pseudo science based on education, and at this moment Ohio is the only state that requires a Bachelor's degree to become a
licensed mortician." "Oklahoma's State Board of Embalming and Funeral Directors are behind the times," he added. Cage stressed the significance of the Ohio law in recognizing morticians as professionals. In time other states like Oklahoma will follow suit and adopt the same laws as well. Still, Central State has one of the most progressive programs in the country, according to Cage. "Our funeral service program is recognized as the number one program throughout the nation," Cage said. "There are only three other colleges that have a Bachelor of science degree in funeral science-the University of Minnesota, Wayne State University in Detroit, and Xavier Universi-
ty in Cincinnati." "Central State was the only college that had the program from 1964-68," he said. "It used to be that to be licensed you completed 60 unspecified college credit hours and a year of professional education." "Central State combined both criteria, and for the first time in the history of funeral science, a controlling board of regents held that classes like Embalming, Restorative Art, Funeral Home Management, and Psychology of Grieving were equivalent to subjects like English, Math, and History," he said. "A student can earn a Certificate of Completion through a two year program," he added. "However more students are opting for the Bachelor's program as it is more readily accepted within the academic circles." Enrollment in the funeral science program at Central State is not comparable to enrollment in other areas, he addd. "People just aren't dying to get into it," he jested. "People associate funeral
science with death, and death scares us," Cage continued. Cage's interest in funeral service developed during an apprenticeship with a local funeral home during his freshman and high school years. He recalls doing
John Cage
everything from transporting the deceased, to embalming cadivers during that time. "The most rewarding part of being a mortician is caring for others at a time when they need it most," he said. "The funeral
ceremony is for the living, and it takes a special person to deal with a family in grief." Some of Cage's fondest memories are centered around funeral service and education, and dealing with those suffering a loss. "Nobody becomes callous to death because everyday you bury your friends." Cage said. "That's alright if they're 20 years older than you, but when you start to bury your poker buddies, your fishing buddies, and those you closely associate with your own age, then you get out of it." With progressive measures such as the Ohio law, the Cincinnati College offers much promise for Cage's career in funeral science. Cage hopes to implement a Master's program at the college, and is looking forward to working for a private school, as well." "I'm going to miss Central State and my friends in Oklahoma, the people here are very nice, but Cincinnati College is going to be a real challenge I'm looking forward to," he concluded.
Staff insurance costs rise

During a test run last weekend, Emergency Medical Technician Terry Hill (Edmond Fire Department) helped rescuers from the Arcadia Lake Park Rangers and Medi-Flight perform simulated CPR on a drowning "victim" at Lake Arcadia. The rangers, fire department and other groups have been holding the practice drills in preparation for the lake's opening later this year.
By Richard Murteza The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges has approved terms for a renewal of the group health insurance policy with American Fidelity Assurance Company (AFAC). Along with the renewal of the contract, employees can expect an increase in the amounts of deductibles, as well as an increase in cost for taking the policy. A memo from the office of Charles Johnson, associate director of personnel, said that on July 1, the annual deductible will increase from $200 to $250. Effective September 1, a cost containment provision for pre-admission certification with second surgical opinion and concurrent review will be implemented through Health International. The Health International program was implemented by AFAC to combat rising costs in the health insurance field.
Health International basically provides a second opinion for the insured patient. Policy holders benefits can be reduced 50 percent if they fail to notify Health International of a doctor's request for a surgical operation within 48 hours. Health International provides a toll free number 1/800/448/9776. There are four basic steps to the Health International's system listed in the brochure issued with the memorandum; Second Surgical Opinion, Pre/Admission Review, Concurrent Review and Discharge Planning. Employees are encouraged to contact the Payroll office at extension 2570 or the Office of University Personnel Services at ext. 2366 if they have any questions. Six other universities in Oklahoma have also adopted the revised insurance plan. "American Fidelity Assurance Company has provided very good
service to our employees over the years," said Johnson. Johnson further added how switching to a new insurance company would cost more than the present policy. Full time university staff members will notice the change in charges for the insurance beginning with this month's paycheck. The memorandum from the personnel office reflected the cost changes like this; an employee currently pays $60.46. Under the revised policy it will cost $67.72. For one dependent it costs $48.37, but that will change to $54.17. Employees with two or more dependents paid $81.62, but now they can expect to pay $91.41. With a working spouse combination the cost was $21.16, now members will pay $23.69. Employees will also see an increase in their medicare supplements, from $46.51 to $52.09.

Opinion Page Fatalistic view more effective a ainst AIDS By Anna Patton
Student writer Until there is an AIDS colony, vaccine or cure, perhaps the people of the United States should consider themselves already victims of the disease and behave accordingly. Unfortunately the population would split into two behavior patterns. There would be conscientious sufferers who would wish to spare others the humiliation, hopelessness, and pain of AIDS. This group would probably be those who acquired the disease involuntarily by birth, blood transfusions, or ignorance of a sex partner's infection. Patrick O'Neil is a member of this group. As a result of his appearance on an AIDS series on KWTV, Channel 9, he and his family were run out of a small Oklahoma town. They now live
in Oklahoma City and closely guard their address and telephone number. O'Neil has outlived his doctor's expectation. He would like to set up a support group with the clergy for AIDS victims. Education, especially for those between the ages of 17 to 28 is another goal he stresses. Commentary
The second group would be those with the attitude: "Since I've got it, I'll take as many as I can with me." Consider this incident: A man has an argument with his wife and decides to cool off in a nightclub. On being approached by an attractive woman, he allows himself to be seduced. Morning arrives in the motel room. The woman is gone. His first concern is
for his wallet. He finds it intact. Then he goes to the bathroom. Written on the mirror with lipstick, he reads, "Welcome to the world of AIDS." A subsequent blood test revealed he now carries the virus. Paul Gann, Proposition 13 coauthor in California, recommends that murder charges be brought against people who intentionally transmit AIDS. He suffers from the disease, contracted by blood transfusions. Besides testing immigrants before entrance into the U.S., testing federal prisoners, and establishing educational, counseling and research programs, President Reagan has outlined an attitude for the public to adopt. "It calls for urgency, not panic, compassion, not blame, understanding, not ignorance. It's also impor-
Nonresidents beware By Laura Hoover Hughes
"Oklahoma is a festering boil on the butt of humanity." This opinion belongs to a well-traveled student and was given freely, without request, in the moments before a class last week. People who live in Oklahoma, by choice, could be offended by this statement. He also said Oklahoma City is not a city at all. This statement is erroneous. According to Webster's Dictionary a city is a large community. Oklahoma City fits this description. A student from another class on the same day proclaimed she can't get used to the cows all over the city or the people panicking and crawling under mattresses every time a tornado warning is issued. There may be a lot of people who take shelter when a tornado ap-

Commentary
Another complaint that was voiced against Oklahoma was its lack of culture. When compared to New York, it may seem to be lacking, but there are plenty of things to do and see in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Gazette has columns and columns of activities of the city and around the state. People who complain too much about being in Oklahoma should beware. They may leave this "festering boil" but they may land on a rotting wart on the face of humanity.

Separation between church, state, not real By Scott M. Warren
(USPS 661-700)
tant that America not reject those who have the disease, but care for them with dignity and kindness." Idealistic? Yes. Likely? No. AIDS victims already go into hiding. Predictions of global depopulation by 25 percent abound. The necessity for a bill making it a federal offense to discriminate in housing or employment against a person who has tested positively for the AIDS virus demonstrates that the public is not as enlightened as it wishes to be. A fatalistic view could be more effective in facing the AIDS epidemic. If every individual accepted that the worst that could happen—exposure and infection—probably already has, or will, considerable emotional energy could be released toward finding cornpassionate solutions.
Student writer They cry for justice, but no one sees the balance. The Supreme Court says "no" to creationism in the classroom while they allow a holocaust of abortions each day. This is not separation of church and state, it's "religious" justice. Jim Bakker is caught with his pants down, debts up, and kicked out of his "church" and television ministry. The Pope meanwhile entertains and praises an alleged former Nazi criminal. Who should be criticized, "church" games or state rules? The state can tell the "church" it's `OK' to hire and fire 'Kind after their kind,' but the "church" has no direct say on state activities. The reason and confusion over the separation of church and state issue is simple—loss of identity. Who and what is the "church?" Its "state" is apparent! Popular dictionaries differ on the preferred definition of church. To one it's a physical building. To another "they" are the spiritual body of Christian believers. The supports the
latter of these two findings. In the New Testament of the Bible, the Church is the body of Jesus Christ to which he is the head. In essence, the Body is to act as Jesus himself acted while he was on the earth in the flesh. The Church is "...to bring good news to the afflicted...bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, and freedom to the prisoners." Isaiah 60:1. Commentary
Before Jesus left his physical body he told his disciples—his church—to form...churches. They were given instructions to set up elders in communities as the governing authority. They were the governors over cities, providences...states! The framers of the Constitution were, for the most part, not even Christian, they were deists They believed in God's sovereignty and his creation of man, but everything else would just run its course according to natural laws he established. They believed God was good, so man deserv-
ed rights to "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness." These draftsmen of the Constitution came from the "Church of England"; a "church" centered around culture and not the person of Jesus Christ. This was not a church at all, but a religion. It came from Rome where it was an institution dictated by the Vatican—the Catholic "church." When Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and others sat down to pen their declaration of separation of church and state, they had no realistic concept of church. The separation of the church itself happened long before. It happened just before the totalitarian Vatican "church" seized control. So there is in fact a clear separation of church and state, it's called state "religion;" a state serving which ever god it chooses to serve; a religion of laws where the letter kills. The Church, Christ's spiritual body, is a state of spiritual freedom. The body is living, breathing and acting in the name of Jesus, but it won't be found on many TV screens.

Boren initiates gulf meeting U.S. Senator David Boren arranged a meeting Tuesday between President Reagan, his top advisors and congressional leaders to discuss the protection of Kuwaiti oil tankers. The meeting, which will be the first since the missle attack on the USS Stark May 17, is in effort to repair the strained relations between the White House and Congress. Boren, head of the Senate Intelligence Panel, maintains that the U.S. needs a new committment to bipartisan foreign policy.
Oklahoma death row prisoner claims letter reveals innocence Charles Troy Coleman Sr., convicted and given the death penalty for the Feb. 9, 1979 shooting death of 68 year old John Seward of Muskogee, claims that new evidence has surfaced proving his innocence. Coleman, who has already exhausted the nine steps in the repeal process, said that he and his lawyer learned of an anonymous letter sent to the Enid police department declaring Coleman innocent of the crime and naming the real murderer. A copy of the letter was forwarded to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and to the attorney generals office. Officials at the attorney general's office are doubtful of the letters credibility and are continuing to press for an execution date.
Investigation reveals cheating at air traffic controller school A Transportation Department probe into the Oklahoma City Air Traffic Controller School has revealed cheating, although to what extent is still unclarified. The probe revealed that test information similar to the actual test problems was possessed by some students and could have supplied those students an unfair advantage. Officials at the Federal Aviation Administration Academy outside Oklahoma City maintain that students may have problems resembling those used on tests as study material but that the school's testing procedures remain sound.
South Korean presidential ally demands democratic reforms Roh Tae-Woo, South Korean President Chun Doohwan's chosen successor and long-time ally, demanded major democratic reforms and a direct presidential election by November. The proposal by Roh, head of the governing Democratic Justice Party, followed 18 days of violent protests and demonstrations. Roh threatened to resign as chairman of the Democratic Justice Party and to withdraw his name as a presidential candidate if the demands are not met.

State anticipates atom smasher In the bid for the $4.4 billion atom smasher project, Oklahoma is starting later and allocating a budget smaller than that of other states bidding for the atom smasher. The State Legislature is expected to pass a $1.5 million package to prepare Oklahoma's bid for the federally funded super collider. Governor Bellmon has proclaimed a sight between Kingfisher and Watonga as a possible location for the project. Bellmon expects that the quality of the location will place Oklahoma in the top five or six bidders in contention for the collider. Currently, the five states who appear to top the list of competitors are California, Texas, Illinois, New York and Colorado.

Maintenance awards a joke To the editor: It is obvious that the four CSU
employees pictured in the June 11 issue of The Vista receiving awards from George Nigh and Dr. Larry Williams are not assigned to the maintenance of the campus dormitories or it is not likely they would receive awards for meritorious behaviour. Most CSU residents would in fact be interested to find out if there are any maintenance personnel assigned to the dormitories at all. A visit through the bathrooms of East Hall will quickly give evidence that plumbers and painters have not visited there in recent history. Paint is falling in large flakes from the ceilings of numerous shower stalls that have been leaking water since at least the Fall '86 semester. Many of the sinks are leaking as well. Although the amount of water being wasted has not been measured, many Edmond residents would surely be angered by that amount when they are told to ration water usage during the forthcoming dry season. Furthermore, if the administration is at all concerned with energy conservation, why is hot water from showers and faucets in various stages of disrepair left to drip for
months on end? Until recently, West Hall residents suffered from less than adequate air conditioning. Their problem now is too much air conditioning. The maintenance problems do not end with the dormitories, though. Common knowledge to everyone connected with the Communications Building is the problems with the heating and air conditioning. No one knows from one week to the next if the temperature will be unbearably hot or uncomfortably cool. Water seepage in the photo lab of the Communications Building has long been an embarrassment. The university narrowly avoided a law suit in the Fall '86 semester from a pregnant woman who slipped and fell in the water there. The problem has been "temporarily" remedied by placing wooden pallets on the floor for students to stand on rather than to fix the problem itself. Students visiting the photo lab should be forewarned by their instructors to wear wading boots following any amount of precipitation, no matter how slight. Students eating at the 89`er cafeteria have long wondered how long it will be until the ice cream
box there will be repaired. When ice cream was last reported to be contained in it, the box could not maintain freezing temperatures, resulting in unidentifiable globs of goo loosely surrounded by wrappers. It may be no coincidence that the only place on campus to acquire ice cream at this time is in the coffee shop on the first floor of the University Center, at a premium price, of course. During regular school session, ice cream is provided to students as a normal part of meals. The surveillance camera located on top of the library has been pointed down at the roof for several semesters now. This seemed to be an unnecessary waste of school funds until it was pointed out by a student that there has not been a crime reported on the roof since the camera was angled downward. In view of these continuing problems, it appears doubtful that maintenance personnel here merit awards for performance of their duty, though it is comforting to know that CSU has finally found something for former Gov. George Nigh to do to justify his $45,000 a year annuity. Kevin Hunter
'Diplomatic immunity' not fair To the editor:
It is very common now to open the newspaper or tune in to the television and hear something about someone victimized by another. Most, if not all, crimes against innocent citizens arouse the public's anger. But crimes committed by aliens with "diplomatic immunity" do not receive the same attention. Diplomatic immunity originated at the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations to shield diplomats and their families from arrest or detention, but diplomats unfairly take advantage of this shield. An article in the June 15 issue of USA Today detailed how a Saudi Arabian teenager, who left the USA in 1983 after being accused of raping a 15-yearold is back living across the street from the girl who accused him of the crime. Worse yet, there is nothing anyone can do to prosecute him. When the incident occured in 1983, the girl's family chose to protect her and decided not to press charges but reported the incident to the State Department. The Saudi youth went away and although the girl's parents tried to prevent his re-entry, he is back and continues harassing the teenager. Her mother said she would like the Saudi returned to his home permanently so her daughter would not be intimidated by the mere sight of his car. This is just one of many examples of wrongdoing by people with diplomatic immunity in this country. Government and law officials are reluctant to enforce the laws of the land against diplomats because the rules of diplomatic immunity also apply to
American diplomats and their families abroad. It serves as a protection against trumped-up charges. Still, there must be exceptions to the rules when diplomats commit crimes against innocent people, otherwise victims will start handling this problem themselves. In an episode of "Miami Vice" last season, this topic was explored when the son of a Colombian diplomat returned to the U.S. after being forced to leave because of crimes he had committed. This was television, of course, but two police officers who were responsible for him leaving the country the first time were now targets for his bullets, only, they vowed to get him first. They did, but encountered all kinds of problems from the government. No one should have to be pushed this far to take matters in their own hands. The U.S. and all other countries should make it mandatory that people with diplomatic immunity who commit crimes deliberately or otherwise, be deported from that country permanently. Most Americans are not aware of the wrongdoing by people with diplomatic immunity because they are not exposed to the diplomatic community on a daily basis. But something must be done. The policy makers of the world must take a stand against injustice to a nation's citizens by foreign diplomats. Maybe these policy makers will realize this only after some crazy terrorist kills someone like a president and then cries "diplomatic immunity" before the rules are changed. Clytie Bunyan

Imagine this - the credits roll and across the screen flashes: Directed by Mel Brooks, Written by Mel Brooks with Thomas Meehan and Ronny Graham, Starring Mel Brooks as President Skroob (spell it backwards and if you're a bad speller you'll understand), and also starring Mel Brooks as Yogurt, the wise old midget philosopher. Then finally the words "Produced by" roll and whose name do you think follows? John Smith? No, no, no it's Mel Brooks, of course. Oh, Mel methinks you are much too vain and yet too funny all the same. You seem to have some kind of fixation with fame. But, alas, Shakespeare I'm not, so on with the show. "Spaceballs" is the name of a planet and the people that live there are called Spaceballs naturally. President Skroob (Brooks), their sex-crazed leader, has plans to steal the air from the neighboring planet of Druidia because the air surrounding Spaceballs has slowly been used up. Before this can happen though, someone will have to gain access to the secret code that will open the space shield that protects The Druish air. Skroob commissions heavy breathing Dark Helmet portrayed by Mackenzie brother, Rick Moranis, to do the dirty deed. He is a fierce and fear inspiring deep voiced, bad tempered, bad guy behind his helmet, but since he can't breathe very well in it, hence the heavy breathing, he must lift the mask and reveal his true identity, a wimpy voiced whiner who bears more resemblence to a nerd than to a villain. In addition to the hilarious comic talent of Moranis, the helmet itself induces audience laughter because it is twice as big as the heavy-duty breathing helmet wearer that inspired this character spin-off. Yes, well if you haven't ascertained it by now, "Spaceballs" is a thinly disguised spoof of the near classic space saga "Star Wars" with doses of "Alien" and "Planet of the Apes" thrown in. Brooks may or may not have aspired to become the king of spoofs but in a way that is what he has done. Starting out with "Blazing Saddles" for westerns, "Young Frankenstein" for horror, "High Anxiety" for Hitchcockian psychological drama, "History of the World, Part I" for a biblical theme, and "To Be or Not to Be" for a Shakespearean satirical flair he has traveled well with his spoofmobile through the land of genres. Tiring of the land, Brooks looked for new and different ventures, finally turning to another frontier and finding a subject in space. The unruly cast of irregulars that Brooks compiled for his new creation includes hefty funnyman John Candy as Barf the Mawg, half man and half dog, who makes no bones about being his own best friend. Barf is the constant traveling companion and sidekick to herofor-hire Lone Starr, portrayed by relative newcomer Bill Pullman whom you may remember as F I,
the dumb kidnapper, in "Ruthless People." Because they are deeply in debt to a grotesque, talking conglomeration of melted cheese and pepperoni lone shark, better known as Pizza the Hut, Lone Starr and Barf decide to undertake the dangerous task of rescuing Princess Vespa. Vespa's father, the king of Druidia, has offered them a handsome reward to rescue his daughter from the dasterdly clutches of the evil Dark Helmet. It is the Spaceball's plan to kidnap the princess and thus gain access to the precious air of Druidia as a ransom. The crime won't be hard to accomplish since Princess Vespa, portrayed by Daphne Zuniga of "The Sure Thing," is traveling alone in the galaxy with only her android maid, Dot Matrix, to protect her. Dot Matrix comes to life with the help of world renowned mime artist Lorene Yarnell and has the voice of Joan Rivers. She falls short of expectation because she has not the alluring and lovable, almost but not quite human characteristics of the unforgettable R2D2 or C3P0 of "Star Wars" fame. The basic plot of "Spaceballs" is evil versus good but in the end, despite the android problem, comedy wins out over all. This movie will probably not win any academy awards; however, if a spoof is what you're looking for then a good spoof is what you'll get.
(Top) Eagle 5 the fastest Winnebago in the galaxy is used by hero-for-hire, Lone Starr, to rescue Princess Vespa from villain, Dark Helmet. (Bottom) The stellar heros of "Spaceballs" include John Candy as Barf the Mawg; Lorene Yarnell as Dot Matrix; Daphne Zuniga as Princess Vespa; and Bill Pullman as Lone Starr.

July 4TH Extravaganza Edmond fireworks display gives 4th a bang By Robi Parker Student Writer The annual Edmond fireworks display in Wantland Stadium will end Independance Day with a big bang! The doors of Wantland Stadium will open at 6:00 p.m. to let anxious spectators into the stadium. Authorities estimate thousands of people will fill the stadium and the, surrounding areas. Ron Williamson, Edmond Fire Marshall and also the committee fireworks chairman said, "We have people travel from all over the state just to see our fireworks display." Edmond purchased $6400
worth of fireworks from A-1 Fireworks of Chickasha. Music will be played over loudspeakers as the spectators find their seats.

Activities planned after parade By Lea Ann Garcia Student Writer Fourth of July festivities will continue after the parade at E.C. Hafer Park located at Ninth Street and Bryant Avenue. Activities at the park are provided free of charge to the public from noon to 4 p.m. A free watermelon feed will be provided by the Edmond Rotary Club. Entertainment, on the main stage, will include the Edmond Community Theater, a "Mr. Legs" contest and the Smith Sisters. Karate demonstrations will be given by Kim's Tae Kwon Do School and Mike Marlow with the Wandering Okies will perform country and western music. A Barber Shop Quartet will
begin the musical entertainment on the south stage. Fred Rucker and Bill Wood will entertain the crowd with country and western music. "Nathan," a contemporary christian group will also perform on the south stage. Games and contests at the park are free to the public except for the fast pitch softball contest, which will cost 25 cents. Contests for children will include freestyle and best decorated bike contests. Activities especially for senior citizens will include a dominoes tournament and horseshoe pitching. Other scheduled games and activities will be a treasure hunt, a penny find, a pie eating contest, a
turtle race and a greased pole climb. John Fox, grand marshall of the parade and host of ESPN's Outdoor Adventure Show, will be displaying the ESPN boat and van and will be available to talk with the public. The Edmond Fire Department will have a fire truck at the park and the Edmond National Guard will be landing a helicopter during the festivities. Edmond has one of the largest parades and festivals in the southwest. The Edmond July 4th committee is able to provide all these activities free of charge with funds from a raffle, sales of commemorative t-shirts and pins and donations from businesses in the community.
CSU police handle hectic holiday traffic By Mary Trichel Student Writer While most look forward to 4th of July festivities, CSU Campus Police witness a different aspect of Independence Day activities the traffic problem. Edmond Fire Marshall Ron Williamson said that as a conservative estimate "approximately 75,000 spectators will strive to sardine themselves into Wantland Stadium and the immediate area in anticipation of Oklahoma's largest fireworks display on the evening of July 4."
Not only will CSU police have to manage fireworks traffic, but they also will contend with the 4th of July parade. "A four-mile-square area will be sealed off for the parade, beginning at 9 a.m. and disbanding around noon," said CSU Campus Police Chief Bob Roberts. As a result of the intense traffic, tempers often flare, he said. "Patience is the big word for everyone to keep in mind," said Chief Roberts. "The traffic situa-
tion is hectic for everyone, so it is essential to keep calm and patient during this time." Fire Marshall Williamson echoed Roberts' statement. "Prepare to allow a minimum of two hours for arriving at the fireworks display, and an additional two hours upon leaving the area," said Williamson. The campus police officers will be on duty from 8 a.m. until past midnite, helping maintain a smooth flow of traffic for the festivities.
Edmond Fourth of July festival features parade, picnic, games By Bridgett R.Hollowell-Chism Student Writer Come one, come all, big and small to the the 16th annual Edmond 4th of July Incorporated Festival. The festival will have something for all ages to enjoy. At 10 a.m. on the 4th, the Southwest's largest parade with entries from all over the state is scheduled to begin at the corner of University and Ayers on the CSU campus by the library. Parade Publicity Chairperson Kim Legako said over 200 participants have entered in the parade. CSU will be represented in the parade by the Baptist Student Union, who plans to enter a float
featuring the constitution. The streets will be blocked by 9:45 a.m. according to Police Chief Bobby Roberts, so that the parade can start as scheduled. Roberts said the parade will travel west on Ayers Street, turn south on Broadway Avenue to Second Street, then go east on Second Street back to University Drive. "From there," Roberts said, "the parade will travel north on University Drive back to the original starting point." Legako said participants entered into the parade will also include horses, bicycles, the Shriners, clowns and antique cars.
"T-shirts, pins and raffle tickets for a drawing in Wantland Stadium will be available at the concession stands, which will be located at the intersection of Second and Broadway," Legako said. Other 4th of July events include a rodeo July 2-5 at the Edmond Round Up Club Arena located at 300 N. Kelly Ave. The rodeo will also feautue a free barbecue sponsored by Edmond merchants. The fireworks show at Wantland Stadium will begin at 9:45 p.m. "The display will be the largest of its kind in the state," Legako said.

Media's magic magnifies sports "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the first telecast of a sporting event. I'm not sure what it is we're doing here, but I certainly hope it turns out well for you people who are watching." (Station WZXBS, New York). By Mary Butler
Sports editor Nearly 50 years ago a young sportscaster named Bill Stern, announcing the May, 17, 1939 baseball game between Columbia University and Princeton, helped provide viewers with the first televised sporting event in history. The skeptical young Stern obviously had no idea that his broadcast, along with a crop of "press box poets" and a zealous group of sports radio generals would create a multi-billion dollar industry. An industry that creates and
Jerry Parks
sows the glory of heros, the heartache of failures, both triumph and tragedy and everything along the way, in the heart of society. "The power of the media is awesome," said Jerry Parks, the sports director for KOCO television in Oklahoma City. Parks, the man responsible for every sport related event aired on his station for the past 13 years, is aware of the enormous gravity his position commands. "It's frightning," said Parks when asked about his power to both create heros and destroy careers. "We have to be very careful with that power. Sometimes it's put into the hands of the wrong people. Sometimes the media uses
that power for their own personal benefit and not for the good of the athletes," Parks said. "Brian Bosworth is the perfect example. The media made Brian into the `Boz.' Bosworth is a real nice person. I like him. But I'm not so sure I like the `Boz,"'said Parks. "My definition of an AllAmerican is a player who has a weak opposition and a poet in the press box," said former Illinois football coach Bob Zuppke. Zuppke's now classic line illustrates how some athletes and coaches perceive the power of the media. But Scott Munn, a young reporter for The Daily Oklahoman has a different perspective. "You tell it like it is," said Munn of his sportswriting philosophy. "If the guy's a bum, the guy's a bum. That's the way it is," he said. The actual role the media, particularly television, is twofold said Parks. "First of all, a lot of sports couldn't survive without two things the media provides, money and exposure. And secondly, the media should cover sporting events and pass that information the the fan or viewer," he said. Al Eschbach, the sports director for WWSL radio in Norman, agrees with Parks. "The role of the media is to inform," said the colorful commentator. Eschbach began his career as a sportswriter and edited the Oklahoma Journal until it folded in 1981. He then began a full time career in radio broadcasting. The most important part of a sportwriter's job, providing information, is accuracy said Munn. "You just have to get everything right. You have to be accurate," Munn said. "It really burns my pants when I'm wrong and I get called on it. I usually read over my stuff two or three times just to be sure," he said. For Parks, whose television medium is geared toward entertaining as well as informing, his
most important task is the production of a smooth flowing product. "The total package we present is really important. We need to find out what the audience wants and then give it to them," said Parks. Parks said finding out where all the local sporting events are, figuring out how to get them into the television and then editing them down the time allotted poses the most difficult problem in producing a sports broadcast. Eschbach spends most of his time fielding listeners questions on his daily three hour talk show and said that keeping up with all the sports going on around him and finding time to educate himself is the toughest part of his job. Deadlines provide Munn's most difficult obstacle. "They're just always tough," said the young reporter who is still working his way toward a degree at CSU. Each of the three media forms not only has it's unique problems, but has different roles in the sports scene. "There should be no competition among radio, television or the print media," said Parks. "Each has it's own special place and unique opportunities," he said. "A person driving down the highway can't read the newspaper, but can listen to the radio. Local television stations have a very limited time, but a
newspaper can make up for that by devoting as much space as they want to a particular story," Parks said. Despite the concensus that the sports media's function is to inform, its impact on people cannot be overlooked. "I always turn to the sports page first. The sports pages record people's accomplishments; the front page nothing but man's failure," said Chief Justice Earl Warren.
Al Eschbach
"Sports gives everyone who wants it the opportunity to escape from the realities of the world just for a few moments," said Parks. "But it must be taken in the proper vain. If a team loses a big game, the sun will shine tommorrow," he added.
Interestingly, the same elements that motivate people to turn to the sports media's products, inspire many sportwriter's and announcer's careers. "A sports journalist is someone who would if he could, but can't, so he tells those who already can how they should," reads a line attributed to an English sportswriter. "I'm 5'2" and I couldn't play," said Munn. "So I might as well write about it," he added, confirming the Englishman's statement. "I've always been a sports fan. I've always enjoyed sports," said Parks. "And I love it when the unexpected happens. I get real excited when a guy like Mark Mcguire, a rookie baseball player for the Oakland A's, hits five home runs in two days. That's really neat," Parks said. "The greatest thing I have ever covered in my 30 plus years in broadcasting was the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. For 23 days it was the greatest sports spectacle in the world and I was part of it," Parks said. Just like the fans, sportscasters find excitement in being "part of it." So how does the magic of the sports media fit into society? "Everybody needs heros," said Parks. Even the people who make them.
Let South Korea keep the Olympics By Mary Butler
In 1988 the greatest athletes in the world are scheduled to meet and do battle in Seoul, Korea, the sight of the 24th Olympiad. The Koreans have already funnelled over $3 billion into the construction of their Olympic facilities which include the 135 acre Seoul Sports Complex, the site of a boxing arena and swimming pool, and the 750 acre Olympic Park, the intended site of the gymnastics, fencing and cycling competitions. Unfornately, the battle in South Korea has already begun, and not in the sparkling new facilities, but in the streets of more than 24 cities.
On June 10, tens of thousands of South Korean university students took to the streets to protest the six-year authoritarian rule of President Chun Doo-hwan.
Sports Commentary
Because of the daily riots and civil strife in the country, talk of abandoning South Korea as the Olympic platform has began to surface. The Olympic games have been suspended only three times in history. The games were suspended in 1916, 1940 and 1944 becP:‘,
of the world wars. The International Olympic Committee in Lausanne, Switzerland has said that only "an act of war" would cause the games to be moved from South Korea, the sight chosen over six years ago. Nevertheless, Mayor Tom Bradley of Los Angeles has offered his city as an alternate sight for the games. The city of Indianapolis followed with the same proposition. The athletes appear hesitant about taking their talents to a country in turmoil. "The way Korea is right now I don't think anyone would want to go there," tennis star Martina Navratilova
was quoted in a Dallas newspaper. Abandon the games? Boycott? Find an alternate sight? Actually the whole thing's pretty silly. It seems senseless to search for a peaceful sight to parade a bunch of athletes around proclaiming unrealistic ideals in a society, not limited to South Korea, that is in turmoil. Why not let Korea host the games? Let's have the Olympic Games, the ultimate sports spectacle, in a country that really reflects what's going on in the world. In 1964, we allowed Tokyo to host the games and make a grand statement of their newly attained world power.
In 1972, Palestinian terrorists murdered 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team in Munich. Their message echoed around the world. In 1980, Moscow used the platform to display their proud city and in 1984 the U.S. not only showed off Los Angeles, but made a bunch of money in the process. This year, let's give the show to the Koreans. Their message, of all things, is a cry for democracy. Let's turn the focus of the world on the small surging country and let their message be heard. And let's hope that the athletes aren't the only ones who make it to the victory platform.

Scott Leggett
tional Football League. Scott Leggett, John Sterling, Eddie Goodlow and Alvin Ross, highly regarded pre-season pro prospects last year, have all signed free agent contracts in the NFL. Leggett, a 6'5" linebacker out of Muskogee, landed a two year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. The second team NAIA AllAmerican and two time AllDistrict 9 performer sealed the contract after being called to a 25 day pre-mini camp for Rookies. After signing, Leggett was given six weeks off to prepare for another pre-mini camp on July 13. The Eagles official pre-season training camp opens on August 5 in Westchester, Pa. The 270 pound former Broncho was one of only eight free agents the Philadelphia club signed this season. Leggett was the only free
agent offensive lineman offered a contract. "I really think I was the strongest rookie in camp," said Leggett. "My wind sprints were real good and I'm going in with a real positive attitude," he said. Although Leggett has secured a contract, he must still make the final cut. The Eagles plan to trim their team down to the league limit after their final pre-season contest. "My goal right now is to just make the team. I feel good, real good. I'm just about ready," said Leggett. John Sterling, a 6-3, 200 pound running back, also managed to find a home in the NFL this season. The Altus native signed a contract with the Green Bay Packers. Sterling, a 1985 All-District 9 performer and 1986 NAIA honorable mention All-American led the Bronchos with 879 yards rushing in nine games last season. The solid back racked up 1,655 yards in his 33 game CSU career. He averaged 6.8 yards per carry and scored 15 career touchdowns. Eddie Goodlow, also an Altus

ARMYRESERVE OFF ICERS' TRAI NING CORPS

After managing three different positions in three years, collecting three letterman honors and playing in every Broncho football contest since his freshman year, Clint Howard is looking forward to his first shot at a starting position. "This will be my first year to start, I'm going to be cramming four years into one," said the 5'9" senior. "I really don't have any specific personal goals going into this season. I'm not looking for AllConference or anything. I'd really like to go 9-0 or 10-0 and get into the playoffs," said Howard. The Edmond native is turning in at least five work outs a day this summer to do his part toward his team centered goal. "I'm working as hard as I can so that I can contribute as much as possible to every game. I want to be the best that I can be," said Howard. The versatile senior athlete has proven his ability to match goals, whether personal or team oriented. Howard started his Broncho career as a strong safety. But five games into the season, Coach Gary Howard moved his talented son into a needed fullback slot. Responding to his father's challenges has never been a problem for Howard. "Playing for Dad is a lot easier than people think. I wanted to play for my father," said Howard.
'MASSES FORMING
NOW AT
"I grew up around Broncho football all my life. I didn't want to play anywhere but here," he added. After carrying the ball for a year-and-a-half, Howard was nudged into another needed role, defensive end, where this year he hopes to both begin and end his starting career. Howard's goal, a perfect season or Lone Star Conference Championship is within Broncho range. "We're all in the same boat," Howard said of his LSC opponents. "I always say it's whoever plays the hardest and wants to win bad enough, that ends up winning," he said. "A lot of people forget that we've been playing these conference teams all along. We played the best of them last year
and did well. Two years ago we played them and beat them all," Howard said. "But if we're going to stay competitive in the Lone Star Conference, the defense will have to do the job this year," said Howard. "The heart of this year's team will be the defense," he added. "We've got a lot of young, unproven talent on the offense. The talent is definitely there but it might start a little slow. We'll be ready to play, though," Howard said. Another important factor in the success of this year's crew will be the fans said Howard. "I hope this year the student body gets behind us. It will really make a difference," he said.

CSU students, advisor ham up on the radio, participate in mock disaster communications By Jane Vesper
Student Writer Several people from CSU participated in the Amateur Ham Radio Field Day mock disaster Saturday and Sunday from posts set up at Arcadia Lake and the Oklahoma Christian College campus. "The annual event provides hams across the country an opportunity to exercise their transmitting and receiving skills and to compete for points in the weekend contest," said Dr. Donna Guinn, CSU academic advisor and member of Edmond Amateur Radio Society (EARS). Jim Yates, David Smith and Dawn Rowell, students at CSU, are members of the Explorer Division of the Boy Scouts, Post 73. The coed organization of young people 14 to 21 is sponsored jointly by EARS and the Oklahoma County Chapter of American Red Cross. The three CSU students are licensed radio operators at the Technician level and are also certified in first aid by the Red Cross. "We were actively involved in the recent flooding," said Rowell. "We filled emergency kits for flood victims and helped with the
paper work that was necessary in keeping track of the people." The Explorer camp which consisted of twelve post members and six adult advisors set up their equipment on the grounds of the OCC campus. The power they operated from was solely generator power provided by the Oklahoma County Red Cross. The EARS set up a post at Arcadia Lake, with the U.S. Air Force donating the principle generator for their transmissions. "The nationwide mock disaster is sponsored by the American Relay Radio League and a simulated national emergency is staged," said Guinn. The contest involves earning points for various assignments such as the number of radio contacts a post is able to make and the type of power supply that is used; however, it is really the good company and enjoyment of the hobby that brings most of the club out, said Guinn. "It's a hobby with a practical value," she said. The radio club is actively involved with the Edmond Civil Defense in weather related communications. "If the power goes

out, often communication is possible only through ham radios," Guinn said. Edmond Mayor Carl Reherman recently recognized the contributions of the amateur radio operators by proclaiming the week of June 21-28 as Amateur Radio Week.
