Campus Security changes name to Police CENTRAL STATE UNIVERSITY POLICE DEPARTMENT -
By Jane Meese The law enforcement agency on campus has undergone a name change. The CSU Security Department is now known as the CSU Police Department. Police Chief Bob Roberts said the name was changed to get the point across that they are police officers, not security. No changes have been made in the department's duties. They have been functioning as a police department for quite some time now, he said. Roberts added, "We are not on an ego trip. We would like to get the word out to the university as a whole that if they are in need of a police agency, they have one right here on campus." The officers perform exactly the same duties as policemen all across the state of Oklahoma and
face the same amount of training. Before an officer has been working on campus a year, he must complete 300 hours of training at the state police academy. Police officers in Edmond and Oklahoma City must have the same training. In addition to the academy training, the officers are required to complete 40 hours of in-service training each year. They must be certified in firearms three times a year. Four of the nine full-time officers are instructors at the state police academy. Roberts said it is unusual for a department this small to have that many officers teaching at the academy. Sgt. Doris Dunn is an instructor in firearms and conducts the firearm certification of the cam-
pus police. Sgt. Griffin and Officers Forbes and Huntington teach CPR and first aid. "Working at CSU has a lot of advantages," said Dunn. "For one thing, we have an educated clientele. We also have the opportunity to continue our education and all of our officers are working on degrees." Campus police provide many services for students. Officers can help people who have locked their keys in their cars and an escort service is available on campus 24 hours a day. Another program sponsored by the department is Operation ID. Police will engrave an ID number on a student's valuables free of charge. Roberts said the dorms that participated had a major decrease in thefts.

Stewart discusses disapproval with Chancellor By Kim Voynar Dr. James Stewart, owner of the English Language Center disapproved by the Board of Regents of Higher Education, met Thursday with Chancellor of Higher Education Joe Leone and Vice-Chancellor Melvin Todd. The meeting was held to discuss the concerns cited by the evaluation team in February, when it recommended the center be disapproved. Stewart said he prepared a 29 page report in response to the team's report. "I think we've met all the concerns in the report," said Stewart. The evaluation team's report listed as one of its concerns the center does not use learning materials which are specifically for English as a second language (ESL). According to Stewart, the center uses only two non-ESL texts. One is the SRA Reading Lab, which has been replaced. The other is Wordcraft. "Since the evaluation I have called the president of the company that distributes Wordcraft. He said of 22,000 accounts, 12 percent (2,640) are used for ESL. Wordcraft will be retained as a part of the program," said Stewart.
Another concern voiced by the team was the alleged lack of a formal agreement with CSU regarding benefits enjoyed on compus by students at the center. There are letters indicating the extent of the students' privileges on file in the offices of Dr. Larry Williams, vice-president, Dr. John Lolley, director of library services, and Robert Fields, director of auxiliary enterprises, Stewart said. "The letters were on file at the time of the visit but they never even asked to see them," he said. Stewart said he has spoken to Dr. Bill Lillard, president, and Dr. Dudley Ryan, vice-president of student services, about the possibility of English Language Center (ELC) students living on campus. According to Stewart, the bonds state only a student enrolled at CSU can live in the dormitories, so his students can't live on campus. "I've been trying to renegotiate the term `student' so ELC students, who can't enroll yet but are preparing to become students, can live in the dorms," Stewart said. He said it is a real problem for the students to find an apartment, set up utilities and buy or rent furniture for a short period of time.
The report also stated there has been a dispute between the center and the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) since 1983. The center, Twashakarris Inc., filed a lawsuit for $40,386,060 against the INS and five of its officers for illegally closing the school in 1982. Stewart said INS kept the center listed as closed even after losing a set of hearings before an immigration judge. Stewart alleges that on July 10, 1982, a federal officer came to the center looking for him. The officer, he said, had been misled to believe there were illegal proceedings regarding the transfer of two Korean students. While Stewart and the officer were talking, a fire marshal came to the center and found ELC in violation of Edmond fire codes. The center was closed, so Stewart leased a building from Edmond Public Schools and reopened the school. Stewart said he was notified by certified letter ELC was closed irrevocably because he had failed to file a statement from the fire marshal stating the new location complied with fire codes. Stewart said he sent the letter and had copies and three witnesses to prove it, but because he had not sent the statement by
certified mail, the copies and witnesses were useless. He said on November 2, 1982, two armed Edmond police and an armed federal marshal arrived at the center and ordered the students to leave the school. The officers had been told the center had been moved and was no longer in violation of codes, Stewart claims. Accordng to Stewart, INS informed the embassies, through which ELC gets 99 percent of its students, the center was closed. Stewart said he finally sent a copy of the Telex from the federal hearing, which stated the school was still authorized, to Secretary of State George Schultz. Schultz ordered an investigation, and it was discovered the embassies had not been notified by INS the center was authorized. The State Department corrected the errror, but Stewart had been operating the center for a year when it was legally closed. Stewart said the biggest problem now is one of the officers named in the suit was murdered. "When you have a lawsuit pending against someone and something tragic happens to them, you have a fear of being thought of as a suspect," Stewart said.

Opinion Page Cocaine kills star athletes By Susan Green Editor A top story in the news, has been the death of Len Bias, the Maryland basketball star who died of a heartattack. Cause...cocaine overdose. He was celebrating the fact that the Boston Celtics had chosen him for their team. He was 22-years-old and he will never play. On the radio this morning, I heard of another athlete, a Cleveland Brown's football star from California who died Friday of a heart-attack. Cause...an alledged cocaine overdose. He was 23-years-old and was to be married the following Saturday. If it was a drug overdose, these two incidents should have never happened. Granted it was partly the athletes' fault for taking something they had never taken before and had no idea what the effect would be when they took it. But, I hope the person(s) responsible for supplying them with the drug are charged with manslaughter. Then again, I'm sure they never thouht it would hurt anybody. It didn't hurt them. They just wanted to celebrate. Dying from a heart-attack when one is only in their 20s is so very tragic. I thought heart-attacks happened to those with poor health or had related heart diseases. I hope everyone has learned as I have, cocaine interrupts the electrical activity in the brain causing the heart to beat irregularly. This results in an onset of seizures and then a cardiac arrest.

Blacks deserve rights also By Mark Codner Associate Editor Violence in South Africa is furthering white-black dissent. Death is rampant in the townships and civil war or a dividing line will result in the long run. Blacks must be given the rights of human beings in South African society. Two youths were running around in the middle of the night. One was an extremely violent lunatic. The other was an all-American boyish youth. Looking for trouble, the lunatic carried two heavy chrome plated chains with spikes on alternate links. Soon the pair walked into an unfamiliar part of town where they met a third person. For some reason, the pair begins beating the newcomer with the chains. Blood streams everywhere as the spikes invade the newcomer's skin. The boyish type found the little human compassion that was left in his mind and stopped his violence. The madman continued bashing the now lifeless form on the ground. The scene suddenly changes from the unfamiliar part of town to the livng area of the all-American boy's parent's house. His mother had entered the scene and the stiff cadaver had somehow been moved to the fireplace. The mother told the boy that she would get rid of the body and they should light some candles.
The boy had grown up with great belief in his mother as a moral, conscientious person. He was growing crazy. All he could do was scream, yell and cry. He yelled out over and over, "I have to get out of here. I have to get out of here." The boy awakens. The time is 4 a.m. The once sleepy boy could not go back to bed. There was a program on channel five Tuesday night entitled "1986". One of the stories on the program dealt with black-on- black violence in South Africa. Live footage was shown where a suspected government contract killer's son was brutally stabbed with knives and hacked at with hatchets and machetes. The scene depicted before was an actual dream conjured in the mind of this writer from the violence shown from the "1986" live footage. Violence in South Africa is heating up, especially since the tenth anniversary of the Soweto riots June 16. Not only are the white police being violent to blacks, but blacks are killing each other. One of the strongest of the black groups is the township warriors. They have a violent method of killing called "death by necklace" when a youth will pour gasoline into a tire then ring it around a victim's neck and set it ablaze. Another group is the old-fashioned
thugs. They resent the young radicals for threatening their turf. Like the other groups, the thugs want change. Advantages in social status and monetary wealth have been gained, so the group wants slow change. Many other groups exist. They are becoming increasingly violent over political and tribal differences. Eight months ago the militant rioting was largely sporadic. Since then it has become increasingly organized. The people once fought with stones, now they are better armed. Critics of the government charge that it is deliberately trying to stir up violence so it will have an excuse to round up black leaders. On financial markets, the South African rand plummeted by more than 20 percent because of growing fears about the country's political and economic future. In order to save South Africa from killing itself, the white government will have to give blacks the right to vote and acknowledge they are human beings of equal status. Doing so will surely bring the black rulers into power over the whole country, but the stability of the economy and millions of lives are at stake. Secretary of State George Shultz said, "Apartheid must go, it must go soon". The violence must be stopped at all cost. Blacks must obtain all the rights of citizens in South Africa and the black on black killings must be stopped.

Veterans to pay hospital bill As of Tuesday, under a means test approved by Congress, many Oklahoma veterans will be charged for medical services at the two Veterans Administration hospitals. Those veterans earning more than $20,000 a year are being required to pay some of the medical costs themselves. State leaders of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion see the regulations as an erosion of verteran's rights because there was not a means test when the veterans first joined the administration. VA hospitals must still continue to provide free care to any veterans with service-related medical problems.

Cocaine poisons football star An autopsy report shows cocaine poiscned the 23-yearold Cleveland Brown defensive back, who died eight days after the similar death of University of Maryland basketball Len Bias. Officials say the death was accidental and no other drugs were involved. Although different people have different tolerances for the drug, the laboratory tests showed Don Rogers had a fatel level of cocaine in his system. The autopsy could not determine whether Rogers was a regular user of cocaine, whether he took the drug at a bachelor party the night before he died or had taken it over a long period of time.
Potatoes given away in Picher Monday, 40,000 pounds of potatoes were given away in Picher, Okla. to whoever wanted them in a scheduled event at the Trinity Baptist Church, courtesy of the Larry Jones Feed the Children Ministries. The potatoes were a surplus from another Jones project and were delivered in a truck and a semi-rig, where the doors were wide open for potato lovers to take what they pleased. A Picher resident said approximately 2,000 showed for the event.
Church official criticizes lottery The Lottery is O.K. Committee is being criticized by members of the Church Conference for senseless finger pointing lectures to those who question the lottery proposal. Dr. Max E. Glenn, exectutive director of the conference of churches said the lottery argues with those who only ask questions or make comments concerning the lottery. Glenn also said the lottery tactfully commented after they received 150,000 Oklahoma voters that the public officials who have criticized the lottery petition are petty, short-sighted and out of touch with Oklahoma voters.
Islam rules to curb pregnancies The Islamic practice of segregating the sexes and decreeing modest dress for women, could help Americans deal with teen-age pregnancy and unwed mothers, a Moslem group said in a meeting in Washington. Mubashar Ahmad, a local businessmen told the group millions of unwed teen-age girsl are becoming pregnant each year in the United States because there is a mixing of boys and girls who are not in control their emotions. He said if he were the superintendant in Philadelphia, he would separate the sexes at puberty because peer pressure is tremendous with boys having to show their manhood and girls feeling the have to impress the boys. It is the custom of the Islams that females wear a black veil and a black robe over blue jeans which only show at the ankles.
Casa Bonita to change look After the same appearance for 20 years in Oklahoma City, the 1 Casa Bonita Restaurant is nearing a completion of change, with stripes added to the tan color and bright colors, live plants and more open space inside. David Fry, vice president of the company said the restaurant has just been sitting there and it was time for a change.
Lady Liberty symbolizes freedom By Brad Cartmill Free to Love Liberty
There is a lady who looks yonder ore, onto the dark and sprinkling shore She is the Lady who welcomes you when you're new, or greets you when you're coming home She has said goodbye to many a man during war But she also welcomed them home once more If you never see her during your life, just close your eyes and picture her light When you do, you will know you are free, to live in America and be whatever you wish to be. Bring Me Home
When you look at a star in the middle of the night Think of the torch that shines so bright Because like a star that guides you through a storm, the torch from the Lady will always be warm But when you get cold and feel all alone, the torch of the Lady will guide you home.
Represent campus intelligently To the editor: Carrying out CSU policies and ongoing programs in an efficient, effective manner is the primary goal of CSU employees. Our "bread and butter" responsibility is to administer well on a day-today basis as government employees. Developing better policies and programs for the future; learning from past experiences; and anticipating future needs are also responsibilities we should be aware of. The way each of us—administrators, faculty, staff and students—represents CSU in our daily, on-the-job, in-theclassroom, and off-the-job,
routine will affect every other employee and student. It is our responsibility to represent CSU in an intelligent and enlightened, positive approach with loyalty to CSU. It is unlikely a citizen will be supportive of CSU programs if he considers that person with whom he has had direct contact to be an unresponsible representative of CSU. If we are unable to convey a positive and helpful approach to helping students and doing our work and promoting CSU, it is most likely that citizens of the state will receive a negative impression of all state government. You and I are the eyes and ears
of CSU and we have a responsibility to make an ongoing evaluation of our reputation by listening to the students and employees of CSU with whom we have contact and by taking an active part in the operation and decision making policies of CSU. To let others on campus know what impression, good and bad, we, as representatives of CSU, are conveying, we will need open communication among ourselves to share this knowledge. In this way we are meeting our primary goal and we all receive the benefits. Lee McDaniel Creative Studies Department

Maureen (Diana Scarwid) provides Norman (Anthony Perkins) with an alibi when he is questioned by Sheriff Hunt (Hugh Gillin) in "Psycho Ill."
'Psycho III' a chilling sequel By Kim Voynar A formidable Victorian mansion looms broodingly behind the forlorn Bates Motel. The neon "vacancy" sign flashes ominously, luring weary travelers to check in for the night. Behind the front desk sits the villian everyone loves, Norman Bates. Yes, horror movie fans, Norman is back, and the Bates Motel is back in business.
Review
"Psycho III" picks up where "Psycho II" left off. In the first sequel, Norman was released from a mental institution 22 years after being sent there for some rather grisly murders. Eventually, driven to the breaking point by the relatives of one of his victims, he returned to his old habits. By the film's end he had done away with Mrs. Spool, a woman claiming to be his real mother. "Psycho III" begins about one month later. The trouble has finally settled, and Sheriff Hunt, Statler, who runs the town diner, and Myrna the waitress are very
supportive of Norman. They feel he is cured and has paid his debt to society. Norman even has a girlfriend, Maureen, a runaway nun who checks into the Bates Motel. Everything seems to be going fairly well for Norman until Tracy, an investigative reporter, arrives. She is working on a story about the use of the insanity defense in murder cases, and smells a story in the mysterious disappearance of Mrs. Spool. To complicate matters even more, Norman still suffers an inner conflict from the psychological hold of his deceased mother. The climax of the plot culminates in a chilling confrontation between Norman and Tracy in his mother's bedroom. Norman's personality has again been overtaken by the dominant personification of "mother". Dressed in "mother's" clothes, he faces Tracy, knife in hand, struggling to overcome the powerful hold of his mother that has haunted him all of his life. Anthony Perkins, who has portrayed Norman Bates in all of the "Psycho" films, once again proves his acting abilities. Throughout the trials and tribula-
tions of Norman's life, he has managed to make the audience feel sorry for him, in spite of his heinous crimes. "Psycho III" also marks Perkins' directorial debut. Although the sequel has a markedly different style than the original "Psycho", directed by Alfred Hitchcock, shadows of Hitchcock definitely linger throughout the film. Diana Scarwid plays Maureen, the nun who, like Norman, is too full of fear and pain to face the world. She does an excellent job of portraying the confused young woman who finds solace in Norman's arms. Roberta Maxwell convincingly plays Tracy, the investigative reporter who stubbornly refuses to leave Norman alone. "Psycho III" is a combination tragedy-horror film about the darkness and light of the human mind. The characters are real people, and the tragedy of Norman Bates leaves the audience with a chilling realization of the instability of themselves. Perhaps everyone senses a bit of Norman's deviance in their own personalities. That is what makes "Psycho III", and all of the "Psycho" movies, such a success.
Starship soars at Amphitheater By Kim Voynar The path to the Zoo Amphitheater was crowded Friday with people on their way to the Starship concert. Blankets, tossed over arms, or cleverly wrapped around coolers or beer, were a common sight. Experienced concert-goers carried their beer in cheap styrofoam ice chests, to be consumed outside the gate before the concert. As the crowd approached the amphitheater, with its wall of stern-faced police officers, it became apparent that no beverages, coolers or ice chests would be carried in. The officers made everyone carrying a blanket open it up and shake it out before passing through the gate. The faces of those who had hoped to sneak their beverages in fell as they realized they would have to drink it all before they entered, or throw it out. Apparently, most thought of
waste as a sin, because the majority of the beer and other drinks was hurriedly downed. Inside the amphitheater, people dashed to get the choice spots to spread their blankets. A few chose the shady sections, but the race was on to claim a space in the sunny area in front of the stage. Review Blankets spread, sunbathers took advantage of the last rays to work on their tans. Frisbees and beachballs flew everywhere, and the air buzzed with anticipation. As the time for the concert drew near, people scampered to get in line for the restrooms and refreshment stands. At last, it was showtime. The Outfield took the stage and did a good job of warming up the crowd for the main attraction. Finally, amidst much cheering,
applauding and whistling, Starship began their show. The band started out with their recent hit, "We Built This City on Rock and Roll." For the next ninety minutes, as the sky darkened and filled with stars, the audience was treated to an excellent concert. Starship's harmony was great as they soared through the show with a barrage of songs, both old and new. Songs from early in the band's career, when they were Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship, pleased the palates of those who listened to them when they first hit the charts. Newer songs, including "Sara" and "No Way Out," satisfied the younger listeners. There was something for everyone at this concert. Older fans as well as newer Starship listeners enjoyed the show. Once again, Starship was a crowd pleaser, as they proved "Rock and Roll Will Never Die."

Cheerleading camp involves play, 'work' By Dan Hoke Every summer semester, CSU hosts a cheerleading camp sponsored by the Dynamic Cheerleader Association, for cheerleaders across the state. During the week of June 23-27, 18 junior high and high schools attended the camp. The laughing, clapping, and cheering which occurs during these camps seem to be the rule rather than the exception, as instructors teach the participants the finer arts of leading cheers and spirit chants. Don't be misled into thinking that it's all fun and no work,
because the girls are watched by sharp/eyed instructors who miss few mistakes. If a mistake is made, the cheer is stopped, the error is pointed out and the cheer is repeated until the instructor is satisfied. At the end of the camp, each school's cheering team performs cheers and routines for the other participants while the instructors judge them in a variety of catagories. Awards are then handed out, usually ribbons and spirit sticks and instructors bid their groups good bye, as the end of another camp comes to a close.

Schools can intercept student tax returns By Charlee Murdock What was once thought of as an easy means of obtaining money to finance a college education is now becoming a burden to the many who thought they had escaped repayment. Because of past problems with the collection of overdue loans, students who are now utilizing the guaranteed student loan programs to finance their education will find the government is getting tough when it comes to repayment.
Legislation now allows government agencies to intercept both federal and state income tax returns of those who fail to repay. "The school is only responsible in collecting National Direct Student Loan repayments and institutional fees that are owed from State refunds," says Sheila Fugett, financial aid counselor. "We are not able to to get into the Federal refunds yet." She says that probably by this time next year the school will be
McBride retires chair, Rettig fills position By Sharon Rankin Dr. Gene McBride, chairman of the sociology department, will retire chairmanship Aug. 1, after 18 years on faculty. McBride will stay on as profesor and said that he wishes to spend more time with research. He had taught at Central State for two years when he was appointed chairman by Dr. Garland Godfrey in 1968. The department of sociology had only four members and offered only one degree at that time. The department has grown to nine full-time staff members and six adjunct members since spring '86 and offers three degrees, including two undergraduate and one graduate.
McBride feels that one of the greatest accomplishments of his tenure as chairman is the acquisition of faculty who hold doctorates. Each full-time faculty member of the Sociology department has a doctorate. Sociology and criminal justice joined last year and is now called the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice. He feels that the department is one of the finest on campus. "We have enough diversity to create a university in our department," McBride said. "Each faculty is uniquely qualified in some facet of our discipline." Assistant Sociology Professor, Dr. Richard Rettig will chair the department next.
Bill offers cash assistance By Candy Mullen Senator Don Nickles is the coauthor of the legislation to offer financial assistance to organ transplant patients. The use of special drugs to help fight off the body's natural rejection to the transplanted organ are called Immunosuppressive drugs. Use of these drugs has been credited with the increase in the survival rates of transplant patients, but the cost of the drugs has been proven to be prohibitive for many transplant patients. "These drugs must be taken daily by patients who have recieved organ transplants," Nickles said. "The price for these patients for the drug can range from $5,000 to $7,000 in the first year alone and many insurance plans do not cover this drug."
We also have many occasions where the organ transplant patient may not have any health insurance at all." Nickles continued, "We certainly don't want to have the situation of a patient being turned down for a potentially life-saving operation because the family doesn't have the money to pay for the post-operative medication." The bill would authorize federal payment for immunosuppressive medications needed by transplant recipients who either lack health insurance or are under-insured. States would be given the flexibility to add coverage for the drugs under Medicaid. Additionally, the bill establishes a three-year $15 million annual grant for states to pay for the special drugs.

able to intercept federal returns as well. A Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) is a low-interest loan guaranteed by the Federal Government to be used for education expenses after high school. The interest rate for the GSL varies from seven to nine percent depending on whether the student is a first time borrower. NDSL is a campus based program with a five percent interest rate on payback. Undergraduate students may borrow as much as $1,250 per semester to a total of $12,500 with a GSL loan. The maximum for graduate students is $2,500 per semester to a maximum of $10,000. "The program is set up as long as you're in school, be it working on a bachelors degree, masters or doctorial degree," said Fugett, "as long as you stay in school at least half-time no repayment or interest is required." The repayment plan on a guarenteed student loan allows
for defferment of the first payment six months after the student has graduated, left school or if the student fails to maintain at least half the minimum credit hours. The program also gives the borrower up to ten years for repayment depending on the size of the debt. Payment amounts average at least $30 per month. "The repayment situation is the same be it you drop out of school or graduate, regardless of your reason," says Fugett. To be eligible for either the GSL or the NDSL a student must be enrolled in at least six credit hours, be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen. Also, proof of satisfactory progress in your field of study, proof of registration with the Selective Service, no default of a previous student loan and proof of need for financial aid. "An eligible student, enrolled in at least six hours, whose grade point is decent and adjusted gross income is less than $30,000 will qualify to apply for the loan,"
says Fugett. "The regents will guarantee that loan for you because you met those three requirements". She continued, "This means you don't have to qualify credit wise, you don't have to put up any collateral." Beginning this fall, any student who applies for a guaranteed student loan will have to first show proof of having applied for a Pell Grant before being certified. "Prior to this year a student had the option, applying for a grant or a loan, it was their choice," said Fugett. "There are a lot of people that took out loans that probably could have gotten a grant had they just gone ahead and done the paperwork." The new rules and regulations are designed to help the student. With no collateral and low interest the guaranteed student loan program can still be the ideal way to finance a college education, but the money will have to be paid back. The government now has the means to collect.
Games played in Edmond By J Money Over 2,500 amateur athletes were in Edmond June 27-29 to participate in the soccer segment of the Sooner State Games. Most of the games were played at the Edmond Soccer Club Complex (west of Kelly on Danforth).
Two other sites in Edmond and one in Oklahoma City hosted the remaining games. Despite a lack of water at the Edmond soccer complex during the high heat and humidity, players were able to finish the games.
The water problems were solved by the Edmond water and fire departments and a 45th Infantry water truck that was on a return trip from maneuvers at Fort Chaffee. The soccer segment of the games ended Sunday.

Sweets, veggies best from menu By Mark Codner Associate Editor Decorated with old toys and evergreen colored wood and cloth, Fannie's On Broadway brings memories of a California health restaurant. Centrally located at 706 S. Broadway, Fannie's is easily accessible. Menu prices are approximately the same as the fast food restaurants sorrounding it and most items are well worth the price.
Review On the bright side of the menu is the stir fry vegetables and wheat rolls. Personal favorites include the Stir Fry Vegetables with Marinated Chicken and Shrimp and the Fresh Zucchini Special.
The latter features baked zucchini in melted monterey jack and cheddar cheese, tomatoes, Italian seasoning and garlic toast on the side. Fry items are the only problem area on Fannie's menu. Fried vegetables such as mushrooms, okra, zucchini and onion rings could be left off. Although stir fry vegetables bring remedy to the problem. From the dessert menu the homemade Ice Cream and Pies shed a bright light on the Edmond dining scene. Service was not great, but the job was adequately accomplished and served with a smile. It's nice to eat vegetables out of the house for low prices. Fannie's offers this in a sit down restaurant which competes effectively price wise with the fast foods nearby.

Tassin publishes sixth book By J Money The Journalism Department Chairman's sixth book is being published today. "Double Winners Of The Medal Of Honor", written by Dr. Ray J. Tassin, is the sixth book that he has had published in his writing career. The book recounts the daring exploits of the United States' 19 Medal Of Honor winners who have won the congressional awarded medal twice. "I became interested in writing a book about this in the 1960's, but because of the anti-hero feeling in our country during the Viet Nam War, I shelved it until the 1980's ", Tassin said. The book is available by order from Daring Books, Box 526M, Canton, Ohio, 44701 for $15.95 and $1.50 for shipping and handling.
"The first double Medal Of Honor winner was Tom Custer, brother of General George Custer, who won his first medal on April 3, 18'65. He won his second on April 6, 1865, and the Civil War was over on April 9, 1865. The last double Medal Of Honor Winners were five marines during World War I. One of those, Daniel Daly, was actually recommended for a third Medal of Honor, but congress awarded him the Navy Cross instead," he said. Tassin served in the U.S. Naval Reserve for 42 years, and is the author of five other published books and six hundred articles in various magazines and Sunday newspaper magazine supplements.

European tourism down, security measures stricter By Kim Earnest Susan Archbald, vice-president of Edmond's Prime Time Travel, says tourism abroad is down 60 percent compared to the same time last summer. The decrease, due to the threat of terrorist, brings lower prices, she said.
Although the average citizen seems fairly apprehensive about traveling abroad, Archbald is con-
vinced a European vacation is much safer now compared to last
summer. She said all of their agents have been to Europe earlier this year and have indicated security
measures are stricter. Archbald indicated that trips to the South Pacific, Mexico, and Tahiti have increased 50 percent. One of the paradises can be seen for $300 including air fare and hotel. According to Archbald, there is also a renewed interest in dude ranches.

'California Dreamin' brings new memories of times past By Mark Beutler "California Dreamin' — The True Story of the Mamas and the Papas," by Michelle Phillips. Warner Books, $16.95. "All the leaves are brown... and the sky is gray..." The words speak of a summer past. A summer in 1965 when four musical troubadors burst upon the American music scene. Now, over 20 years later, one of the founding members of that group has written a tell-tale account of what it was like to be at the heart of the music scene in the 1960s. "California Dreamin"' documents the rise and disintegration of The Mamas and the Papas, as told by former Mama, Michelle Phillips. If ever there was a way to go back in time, "California Dreamin'" would be the means. From beginning to end, the reader is transported back through the years — to a different place, a different time. A time when four dropouts from society came together in the Virgin Islands to fuse a sound that would, for years to come, rival all other types of music. Early in the book, 17-year-old
Michelle Gilliam meets, falls in love with, and ultimately marries, musical genius John Phillips.
Review
He encourages Michelle to join his folk music trio, the New Journeymen. She accepts the offer, and to round out the group they hire Canadian tenor Denny Doherty. Doherty had been a member of a group called the Mugwumps before joining the Journeymen trio. It's worth noting the other members of the Mugwumps were largely unknown at that time — John Sebastion and Cass Elliot. While in the Mugwumps, Denny and Cass had a "weird relationship," as Phillips says. Denny had told his new partners about his "girlfriend." One night while the three were "high on LSD 25," an enormous young woman showed up at the Phillips' apartment. It was Cass. She tried the drug, and the foursome, according to Phillips, knew "something" was meant to be.
Michelle, John and Denny, before embarking on a Journeymen tour, retired to the Virgin Islands for a short break. While living in a tent on the beach, the three were running short of cash. About that same time, Cass made a reappearance with the news that she also was broke. The four moved into a boarding house run by one of John's friends. Duffy, the friend was called, offered the group a place to stay in return for their musical talents. They accepted. By the way, the boarding house was on a street named "Creeque Alley." Eventually, severe money problems forced the group to return to the States. There a series of fateful events would lead them to California and Dunhill Records and the outermost limits of musical stardom. "California Dreamin"' is for those who were a part of the Mamas and Papas generation, as well as those who, today, enjoy the old music. As you read "California Dreamin,'" take those old Mamas and Papas records off the shelf, dust them off, and put them on the turntable.
