Regents study metro colleges

By Kurt Koenig

Student Writer

The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education is conducting a feasability study to consider merging junior and community colleges within the Oklahoma City metropolitan area.

The institutions are Central State University, Rose State College, Oklahoma State University—Oklahoma City Branch, Oklahoma City Community College, and El Reno Junior College.

Dr. Dale Parnell, president of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, conducted the study, which is due

to be completed sometime in August.

"The whole notion was to try to examine the manner in which lower division coursework is delivered or to see if there is a viable option of perhaps merging the junior and community colleges in the metropolitan area," said Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs.

A similar multiple-campus system now exists in Tulsa, and could possibly be considered as a model, Jacob said. Tulsa Junior College has four campuses in different locations in the city.

Parnell visited CSU June 21, meeting with Jacob and several

Dorm blaze blamed on unattended iron

Student Writer

A Murdaugh Hall fire Thursday morning, contained to one room, resulted in less than $10,000 damage, said John Gibbon, Edmond Fire Department battalion chief.

The fire started about 9 a.m.in Room 143, which was unoccupied at the time.

Although officials said the majority of the damage was due to heat and smoke, they could give no exact damage total.

"We believe the fire was caused by an iron," Gibbon said. The call came in through the alarm system set up by the smoke detectors. Although the fire itself was small, it was a two- station call, Gibbon said.

Campus employees question policy

By Keith Purtell

Staff Writer Central State University rules for employee conduct have not been fairly applied, allege several physical plant employees who claim that Rodney Roy, supervisor of the plumbing/welding crew, has been abusive and violent yet kept his job.

Roy said a recent fight with former CSU employee Phil Pennington was the result of a racial insult Pennington made as Roy drove by in a university vehicle.

Although six physical plant employees spoke to The Vista, most

said they would not go on record due to fear of losing their jobs.

Electrical supervisor Michael Freeman said that in early 1989, he made a formal complaint to administration about an incident involving Roy. "He came in one morning and forearmed me and got ready to smash me in the face and I got away from him, in front of a witness," Freeman said. "At the time we were under the impression that you would be fired if you fought out here but since then we've seen it's not true, evidently."

Freeman said that Blanche Washington, director of Personnel Services, sent him a letter stating

action had been taken, but did not disclose specifics.

"Of course I was never told what, and it didn't seem to do any good if it did, because he continues with this beligerence," Freeman said. "He's done this for years.

"I tried to no avail to get a determination from personnel as to what they did and I was told that things like that were not going to happen again. They might as well throw the book away.

"He's bullied quite a few people down here actually. I think he's got some kind of problem communicating with people, or socializing. He seems to be a real loner.

No one seems to oe aoie to cornmunicate with him very well," Freeman said.

Roy said the conflicts stem from the circumstances of how he was hired, racism and the nature of

his management style.

"I've had problems ever since I've been out there, because of the way I came into the job," Roy said.

"When I first came there, they believed that I was a personal friend of Nimrod Chapel (former Physical Plant director), or that Chapel gave me the job because of friendship. The day I met Chapel was the day I went to work out there."

Dr. Frank Wert, economics chairman, was approved June 15 as Central State University's College of Business interim dean by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges, a position he began Monday.

Former Dean Joe Kinzer was named President of Northern Oklahoma College in April, but remained dean until Sunday, the beginning of the fiscal 1990-91 year.

President Bill Lillard and Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs, announced the interim dean position opening for any full time College of Business faculty April 23.

By the closing date, May 4, two faculty members had submitted resumes—Wert and Dr. Herbert Giles, associate professor of marketing and faculty senate president.

The decision for the intern dean was based on input from faculty and students and an interview with each applicant, Jacob said.

"There were a number of letters in favor of both candidates," Jacob said.

Wert received his bachelor's degree from The University of Iowa in 1967, his master's degree from Colorado State University in 1970 and his Ph.D. from Colorado State in 1972. He has served CSU 18 years, Jacob said.

The CSU Meritorious Award was honored to Wert in 1983 and 1984.

Wert was a Fulbright Scholar at Yarmouk University in Irbid, Jordan, in 1981, and a visiting economics professor at Huanghe University in the People's Republic of China.

Wert has a remarkable reputation as a scholar, Jacob said.

"He has very strong support from the faculty of the College of Business and will do an outstanding job providing leadership in the college," Jacob said.

"Our hope is to come back in the fall sometime and open a national search for the deanship."

Opinion

Campus employees have legal rights be aware at corruption of state operations does not have to exist.

By DeWayne Smoot Editor in chief

A new policy is evolving at Central State University, and if steps aren't taken to curb this action employee rights could be threatened.

On more than one occasion this summer supervisors and department heads have been told not to discuss university operations with reporters from The Vista. Employees often decline to talk about university operations because they fear retaliation from their superiors.

Unfortunately, some supervisors and others in positions of authority have used their positions to threaten job security for employees who talk about agency operations.

Oklahoma lawmakers passed a series of laws last year in an effort to protect the integrity of public institutions and the jobs of state employees who are tired of seeing state agencies circumvent the good of the public.

The Oklahoma State Employees Bill of Rights came on the wake of corruption among numerous tag agents and county commissioners as an effort to rid public agencies of corruption. Every public employee should be aware of these rights and

Letters Flag desecration dishonor to all war casualties To the Editor:

Title 74, Section 841.7 of Oklahoma State Statutes specifically states that "no supervisor or appointing authority of any state agency shall prohibit employees of such agency ... from discussing the operations of the agency, either specifically or generally with others."

Furthermore, "disciplinary actions, including, but not limited to, any direct or indirect form of dicipline, any dismissal, demotion, transfer, reassignment, suspension, reprimand, admonishment, warning of possible dismissal, reduction in force, reduction in rank, reduction in status, or withholding of work, shall not be taken against any employee for providing or offering to provide information or for communicating to others any substantiated claim of wrongdoing by or within a state agency."

Additionally, "any supervisor or appointing authority of any state agency ... violating the provisions of this section shall forfeit his position and be inelligible for appointment to or employment in a position in state service for a period of five years."

Administrative efforts to curtail public knowledge of university activities are legally questionable, and university employees should fight to protect their rights guaranteed them by state law and the First Amendment.

meeting, two church special-use permits were presented and voted upon. One for a Christain church and one for an Islamic church.

Both drew concerns from nearby neighbors regarding parking, drainage, landscaping, growth plans and the desire to maintain the current status of the respective neighborhoods.

The representatives of Faith Bible Church responded succinctly and directly to the opposition. They felt no need to espouse their right to religious freedom in order to obtain their permit. No one name accused the surrounding neighbors of unconstitutional acts or called them slanderous names.

The question arises as to why the Islamic church was so offended to be asked the same questions and why they still persist in advancing that over-used claim of religious prejudice. Can their project not stand on its own merits?

"Me thinks they doth protest too much."

I am a student here at Central State University and am also a resident of Wayne Street. There seems to be a controversy over the effects of the mosque being built on the comer of University and Wayne. As Mayor Paul Walters pointed out at the council meeting, the complaint did not register because of religious prejudice, but more so the right to build a nonresidential building in a residential area.

My husband and I moved to Wayne Street because the area was quiet, child-oriented, close enough to town but not city living.

We thought the residential area would remain that way and our children could grow without fear of prejudice. After reading your article, I realize this is not true.

You seen to be prejudiced to the American Dream: having a home, children and freedom of speech, along with civil rights. I do hope that when you find porperty, buy a home and sink your hard-earned money into it, someone will come along, zone your area and put a non-residential building on it!

I furthermore do not appreciate being labeled a religious zealot— until you've walked in our shoes, I don't think you have the right to lace them.

International enrollment down Student Writer

Central State University's international student body this summer is comprised of 442 students representing 50 countries, said Dr. Ronald L. Paddack, international student adviser.

Last summer's total was 527, a difference of 85.

"This number is what we expected. It is about half the number of the spring and fall terms," Paddack said.

Malaysian students comprise the largest group with 80, followed by the Republic of China, 40, Pakistan, 35, and Thailand, 28.

Paddack said Malaysians have traditionally studied in England,

Paddack said his summer plans include a personally-financed trip to seven countries in South America, with part of his trip spent working.

Paddack said he will visit private schools, placement agencies and American embassies which put him in touch with students interested in study-abroad programs.

"When you go overseas ... some parents feel like when they've met you, they know someone. It's much easier to send their son or daughter to a strange place where they know one person," Paddack said.

however, due to numerous financial problems, tuition doubled for foreign students and CSU's numbers increased.

On the other hand, Paddack said, the Iranian enrollment has dwindled from 500 in 1979 to 22 due to changing relations between the United States and Iran.

Other students come from Canada, the Bahamas, Jamaica, and from as faraway as Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Many universities have recruitment officers, but CSU does not.

International recruitment is primarily conducted from his office, Paddack said.

College grads need to study job market

By Keith Purtell Staff Writer

Getting a college education used to be a great idea, and it still is. Unfortunately, too many people may be getting the same idea, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

The United States has a larger percentage of college graduates in the work force than any industrial nation, according to statistics.

Kent Todd, director of the Central State University placement office, said students need to be aware of trends in the job market.

"Employers today are definitely looking for college graduates," Todd said. "The typical 30-yearold college graduate is making about 20 percent more today that his father did at the same age. The employers I've spoken with rarely seek high school graduates."

According to the Labor Department, the number of graduates who pursue education beyond high school has increased almost 9 percent since 1982.

Todd said the highest demand for college graduates is for those specializing in computer science,

accounting and management information systems.

"As many graduates as there are, especially in this part of the country, some of the jobs available sometimes don't seem to have the longevity graduates are hoping for," Todd said.

"There seem to be a lot of sales jobs out there that are not always a first choice of grads. Those jobs can seem a little ambiguous for graduates wanting a sense of security."

Many CSU students who are working toward an MBA are currently employed and are studying

to better themselves and to upgrade their skills, Todd said.

Business publications list many job opportunities for Master's degrees, Ph.D.s or similar further education, Todd said, and many grads try the work world before getting that extra education.

"They may be with a company for awhile," Todd said, "and then be encouraged to pursue an MBA, or decide on their own.

"Many grads who have an MBA quite often will have to compete with those with undergraduate degrees, since the under-

grads have a lower 'price tag,'" Todd said. "An employer can hire an undergraduate at entry-level pay."

In addition, Todd suggested students take maximum advantage of the people they know while in school.

"I would advise students to network as much as possible," Todd said. "The more people you know the better off you are going to be, whether they accomplish that through their roommates, parents or other students they have classes with."

Art director ready for creative position

Missing invoices mar credit rating

By Linda Morgan Student Writer

By Jana Potts Staff Writer

Working at Central State University has given Scott Horton a break from chaos while letting him be creative.

Horton, new Communications/ Publications art director, said he was happy to trade the stress of an advertising agency, Stroud Design Inc., for overseeing the design and production of CSU publications.

Advertising practitioners want everything yesterday, Horton said, and that atmosphere causes a lot of stress.

"About once every two months I'd get designer's cramp," he said.

"The ideas just seemed to stop."

"I've been able to use a lot more

of my creativity here than in the past at other jobs," Horton said.

Horton is responsible for setting up the conceptual as well as the design portion of CSU publications. His office develops brochures, posters and magazines that relate to special events, announcements or promotional information, Horton said.

"Right now, we are working on Viewbook,' a 16-page magazine that is sent to Oklahoma high schools promoting CSU," Horton said.

Horton was graduated with a bachelor of arts degree from Oklahoma Christain University, where he won awards in two student portfolio competitions.

Horton worked for Stroud Design Inc., as art director and ac-

RA adviser develops program Suicide prevention-intervention needed

By Judy LeBlanc Student Writer

Suicide intervention training is one program tentatively proposed for presentation at Central State University's resident adviser classes this fall, said Dr. Deanna Land, associate dean of student services.

Mike Gilbert, junior psychology major from Guthrie and East Hall RA, said while alcoholrelated traffic accidents are the leading cause of death among teenagers, suicide is number one among college students.

Gilbert developed the program and is tentatively scheduled to present the prevention-intervention training to the RA class this fall, Land said.

Gilbert became a "Teenline" hotline volunteer last summer and trained with the Oklahoma Youth Suicide Prevention Association.

Teenline is a toll-free counseling service sponsored by the Oklahoma Department of Mental

Health. Gilbert said 2 to 4 percent of the callers are suicidal.

"Suicidal thought is on a continuum from 'I've never thought of suicide' to the only true suicidal people who are dead," Gilbert said.

A continuum is a pattern of behavior from denial to actually carrying out the act of suicide.

"Unfortunately we don't have very many suicidal people we can talk to. We only have their letters" when they're gone, Gilbert said.

"Everyone falls somewhere on the continuum."

Gilbert first presented his training to the RA class last spring, which included how to identify suicidal behavior, how to assess the gravity of suicidal thought and how to effectively intervene.

Carroll Van Duyn, housing manager, said the university is not adopting the entire Teenline concept, but segments of that program have been put into Gilbert's version of "active listening."

With encouragement from the housing administration, Gilbert

petitioned the National Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH) and presented his program at the annual convention in Springfield, Mo., in April.

Out of 400 programs presented, Gilbert's was named one of the top 30.

Gilbert said he was appalled to learn that of all the universities represented by NACURH, only one, the University of Loyola at New Orleans, has an active suicide intervention and assessment program.

"No one likes to be involved with something unless they can see what it does," Gilbert said.

"When you are dealing with prevention, if you are successful, there is nothing to measure."

Gilbert said several institutions are interested in starting programs, and he hopes to establish dialogue with other universities for networking purposes.

Little attention is given to the problem of suicide at the college level.

"There were a couple of instances where an employee forgot to bring an invoice to the Office of Business Affairs. We can't just pay on a statement, we have to have an invoice," Mounce said.

"This created bad relations with a couple of stores."

State law says payment cannot be made on a statement without an invoice, Koehn said.

Vendors don't send invoices to the Office of Business Affairs, so if no bill is recieved, the Vendor has to send a copy which makes the payment late, Koehn said.

The people receiving merchandise don't realize the office needs the invoice to make payment.

They may throw the invoice in the trash or forget about it, Koehn said.

CSU faculty has been asked to be especially alert in retrieving invoices on merchandise.

Household tips could save lives

By Mark Schlachtenhaufen Managing Editor

Children are involved in more home accidents than all childhood diseases combined, according to American Red Cross statistics.

In early childhood, a person spends about 90 percent of their time in the home. Children under five account for 60 percent of all poisoning cases.

Many Central State University students have children, but no estimate of the number is available.

Students may have a full-time job, college courses and have several children to worry about, said William Earl Jones, assistant professor industrial technology education. Stress can be an inhibiting factor for parents who also are concerned about home safety.

What these families don't know about home safety could be harmful, Jones said.

The remedy: education.

"Become more safety concious," Jones said. "You have to

initiate some type of life-saving technique."

Unprotected electrical outlets, sharp objects and accessible toxins are several household hazards.

Household poisons may include aspirin, nail polish, perfume, bleach, ammonia and furniture polish.

If a child ingests a poison call the Poison Control Center, the Red Cross, and the local police or fire department, Jones said.

Often, curiosity will cause a child, or adult for that matter, to pick up and "taste test" a poison, stick a fmger into an uncovered electrical outlet, or grab something from a table, Jones said.

"Kids follow their parents around," said Jones, who has no children but has cared for several youngsters. "They find out where they keep these things."

The best prevention is to lock up toxins, Jones said. This includes medicine cabinets and kitchen cabinets. Electrical outlets should be covered and table tops kept clear of curiosity-arousing objects. .

Barbara Major, Oklahoma City Red Cross health services administrative assistant, said infant CPR, cardiovascular resesitation, or mouth-to-mouth breathing techniques, is something all parents should learn.

"Infant CPR was invaluable for me in saving my child," Major said. "My baby stopped breathing last year."

If a child stops breathing after inhaling a poison, Majors agreed that parents should call 911 or the Poison Control Center if they don't know CPR. The Red Cross offers infantchild CPR, specializing in children to about six-year-olds, and community CPR which also offers adult courses, Major said.

Rusty Fees, community services officer with the Edmond Police Department, advised parents interested in increasing home safety to talk to a pediatrician.

"There are hundreds of things you can do," Fees said. "It's just a matter of starting somewhere."

Sports Measure passes to resurface track

Baseball: The right to dream A dream of mine since early teen years has been to own a minorleague baseball franchise. That dream is becoming increasingly unBill realistic each Kramer year.

In 1974, Jim Paul bought the AA minor-league El Paso Diablos for a mere $1,000. Last year Paul turned down an offer of $1.4 million for his Milwaukee Brewers' affiliated Texas League farm team.

I never thought of all the complications or the competitive baseball market, but the dream was based more on love for the game rather than dollar signs.

However, making money is without a doubt the main thrust behind investors' growing interest in minor-league baseball. The enticing profit potential was realized in the last decade.

Minor-league baseball's dramatic rise in popularity occurred for many reasons, largely because so many "true" lovers of the sport do not live in the nation's media centers but in rural areas and are hungry to see the game played.

Fans no doubt enjoy watching the stars of the future who are on their way to the majors. When players are drafted in June, they rarely see the major leagues right away. The big-league brass hope to develop their players' skills by placing them in one of four divisions of player developmental leagues—the minors.

For instance, the Texas Rangers have six minor-league teams in these cities, with AAA being the highest level of development: Oklahoma City (AAA); Tulsa (AA); Port Charlotte, Ha. (A); Gastonia, Fla. (A); Butte, Mon. (Rookie); and Port Charlotte (Rookie).

I grew up 20 miles from Tulsa and remember many enjoyable days at Drillers Stadium, watching "hot" prospects. The players there are generally a year and a half away from playing in a majorleague uniform, depending on their skills.

Since Tulsa is about 250 miles from the nearest major-league baseball city, I was excited to see players who were on their way up the ladder. They were professionals and better than anyone else I had ever seen. And, after all, it kept my dream alive.

The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education have approved a change in Central State University's campus master funding plan allowing for improvements to the track in Wantland Stadium.

The issue will go to the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges for approval during the July or September sessions.

CSU Athletic Director John "Skip" Wagnon said the 400-meter track would be resurfaced with a state-of-the-art latex material and will have eight 42-inch lanes.

Smith did all the photography work while Polhemus coordinated the photos and layout. Former CSU employee Roy Cordell was also given credit for artwork on the basketball poster.

Kirk is entering his third year as sports information director, handling relations with local, state and national media concerning CSU's 14 varsity sports.

"We would be capable of holding a national meet if the NCAA wished to do so," Wagnon said.

The contractors would have to work around the football games.

"If they aren't finished by Nov. 1, we'll have to wait untill spring to complete it."Wagnon said.

CSU is taking bids from general contractors, but the cost of the track has not been determined.

"The bulk of the funds for the track will come from the money left over from the fieldhouse

SID receives NCAA design recognition Central State University 's Mike Kirk was presented three national awards at the College Sports Information Directors of America conference last week in Houston.

Kirk, an award-winning media guide designer at three levels, NAIA, NCAA and NCAA II, was awarded second place, Division B, for his wrestling brochure cover design, fourth place for his poster design of Marlon Brown dunking a basketball and second for the same entry in an overall category for recruiting materials for schools over 10,000 students.

Kirk said he was happy to receive the honors, but added he could not have done so well without the help of two other CSU staff members.

"I was quite honored and pleased, but I'm just trying to do my job the best I can," he said.

"None of it was possible without Dan Smith (photographic services director) and David Polhemus (print shop director)."

The Lone Star Conference has agreed to hold its track and field championship here when the track is completed? and high school meets are being considered.

The track will be open for the use of students and the public upon completion, Wagnon said.

The current track, built in 1967, cost $28,000 and was supposed to be repairable, but bad drainage over the years has rendered the track useless, Wagnon said.

Texas A&I tops in LSC grid poll; Walden, 1-0

By Bill Kramer

Sports Editor

The two Oklahoma entries in the Lone Star Conference football race, Central State University and Cameron University, have been chosen seventh and eighth respectively in the 1990 pre-season grid poll, conducted by the Texas A&I University sports information office.

Last season the Bronchos finished last with an 0-7 conference record while going 0-10-1 overall.

Cameron was 2-5 in a three-way tie for fifth in the conference and 3-7 overall.

Texas A&I University, winner of three straight LSC football championships and four of the last five, has been rated the narrow favorite to repeat in 1990.

The Javelinas received 700 points in the 21st annual poll, and rival Angelo State University was awarded 698 points. The Rams,

however, received two more firstplace votes than Texas A&I, Those voting in the poll included LSC coaches, athletic directors, trainers, sports information directors, sportswriters and sportscasters. Forty-eight votes were cast.

Eastern New Mexico State University was selected third with 518 points and East Texas State Uni versity fourth with 468 points and two first-place votes.

Abilene Christian University followed in fifth with 384 points and West Texas State University was picked sixth with 312 points.

CSU was next with 202 points, followed by Cameron with 174.

ETSU tight end Gary Compton was selected as the pre-season top offensive player in the league, and teammate Terry Bagsby, a lineman, edged ENMSU defensive back Anthony Penile by a single vote for top defensive honors.

•••••

Texas A&I University has been ranked No. 3 in the country by The Sporting News and Angelo State University was chosen No. 7 in the pre-season polls.

Football Digest Magazine chose the Javelinas of A&I fifth overall in the country and ASU sixth.

••••• Blanchard High School star Ronnie Walden, the No. 9 pick in the June amateur baseball draft, won his professional debut for the Great Fall, Mont., Dodgers of the Rookie Pioneer League.

Walden threw only 76 pitches through six complete innings, allowing two Bits and no runs while striking out five and walking one in a 1-0 victory over Helena.

The Los Angelas Dodgers signed Walden to a one-year $215,000 contract after his 32-4 record, 0.79 earned run average and his 434 strikeouts in 205 innings.

Russian students get American farewell

By Linda Morgan

Student Writer

A farewell song delivered by Russian students on the Central State University campus left a strong indication of new bonds formed between the two cultures, said Robert Austin, enrollment adviser at CSU. "It was almost as if they became part of your family," said Austin, whose family opened their home to the Russian performers.

Lena Kalinina and Tanya Gusewa stayed with the Austin family.

"When they left, we were all in tears," said Austin's wife, Mary.

"I never would have believed we'd get that close."

The Russian students are from the Moscow vocational school system. They were here for a fourday visit before going on to a vocational training conference in Tulsa.

The visit helped dispel the myths they had about Russian people, Austin sa d.

"The idea they are cold and harsh people is not true," Austin said. "They have the same feelings we do."

Although they had no interpreter in their home, the Austin's used a Russian dictionary and a lot of body language, Austin's wife said.

"There was no problem with communication," she said.

Darrell Gilliland, director of admissions, had two Russian adults in his home; Victor Gorokhov, a Russian businessman and his interpreter, Maria Coutat.

"When Maria was not there, I was lost, but by the end of the visit, we had sign and body language down well," Gilliland said.

Both Gilliland and Austin said the Russians seemed more interested in American lifestyles than their country's politics.

Americans have so much more than they do, Gilliland said.

Americans drive cars, but Russians use mass transit and the quality of our food is superior to their' s.

Gilliland said his visitors told him they were optimistic about long-term benefits due to the changes, but they were not impressed with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, or Boris Yeltsin, president of the Russian Republic.

"They don't give credit to the leaders for the political changes," Gilliland said. They believe the changes happened because it was time.

Both Austin and Gilliland said it was a wonderful opportunity to really learn about Russian people.

The Austin's said they will keep in contact with Lena and Tanya.

The students left for Moscow Friday, June 29.

Special driving school could grow, officials say

By Linda Morgan

Student Writer

Although Oklahoma has the fifth largest handicapped population in the country, about 517,000, the state's only driving school established to meet the needs of handicapped drivers serves only 48 each year.

State officials, however, say that not all handicapped Oklahomans qualify for the program because of visual or mental impairment.

The South Central Safety Education Institute, located here at Central State University, is the regional DHS center. The program, partially funded by the Department of Human Services, is the only such state service.

The handicap driving school uses a wide array of accessories in the specially-equipped vans used for the course, including mobile seats, hydraulics, manual locks, panel-mounted touch switches, and zero-effort steering, said instructor Stan Dowers.

"This is offered as a public service," said Dr. Lonnie Gilliland, institute director. "The program is capable of growth. If a need exists, we will offer more classes."

Originally, CSU's driver training program served three purposes: to train driver education instructors, to provide area high school students with a driver edu-

cation program, and to provide the handicapped with a specialized program to meet their needs, Gilliland said.

Gilliland said he has repeatedly told DHS officials the institute is willing to offer more classes, but the DHS has not indicated there is a need.

Fred Wooldridge, a quadriplegic currently enrolled in the summer class, said he learned of the school through his counselor while recovering from a gunshot wound.

"The school definitely meets a need," Wooldridge said."

Wooldridge was employed as a district supervisor for the Oklahoma Publishing Company and was shot during a robbery of an Oklahoma City convenience store.

Clients are referred by the DHS and sometimes the Veterans Administration, said John McGivern, school safety instructor.

"If we went out and tried to get a market through advertising, we wouldn't be able to meet the need," McGivern said.

With four classes a year, they don't have the staff to handle more clients than they get through the DHS, McGivem said.

A DHS official who works with the CSU program was unavailable for comment. However, John Dunlap, an employee with rehabilitive services at DHS, said he wasn't sure, but he thought the

DHS was meeting the public need.

"Another difficulty with the class is having enough housing on campus available to handicapped students," said Lynn Holdsclaw, with rehabilitative services. CSU has two rooms located in a host house specifically for people in wheelchairs. Each room will house two students, Holdsclaw said.

University officials said there are plans for additional rooms.

Henry Fuller, a handicapped CSU student, said he went through the program in 1984, but class was not confirmed until a week before it began due to insufficient enrollment.

"The school could be more publicized." Fuller said.

Jean Jones, a disability program specialist, Office of Handicapped Concerns, said clients have to meet certain federal eligibility criteria in order to qualify for assistance through DHS. If a person's income is not low enough, they may not qualify.

People in this situation would not have a re-habilitation counselor to inform them of handicapped services, Jones said.

The office issues a newsletter to 2,300 state organizations in an effort to get information to the handicapped, Jones said.

Jones said her office would be willing to print any information the CSU handicap school would like to publicize in the newsletter.

"What I tried to do in preparing his agenda on our campus was to arrange for him to visit with those administrators and staff members who are directly involved with the management or administration of transfer students," Jacob said.

The presidents of the institutions met with Parnell twice; once, May 15, in a telephone conference call, and again in person on May 24, prior to his on-site visits.

"We talked about our admission policy, our retention policy, the number and proportion of transfer students and the role of our various academic programs in relationship to the junior colleges within the area," Jacob said.

Also discussed was utilization of resources, the possibility of sharing facilities, equipment or faculty, Jacob said.

Jacob said he was positive about the visit and expressed that the metro-area institutions will profit regardless of whether or not they merge.

Batman visited the Central State University campus this past week to participate in Clark Terry's All-American Jazz Camp.

Chris Batman, not the caped crusader, is a 19-year-old guitarist from Lees Summit, Mo. Batman is a professional jazz guitarist and student from the University of Missouri at Kansas City.

Batman and other students at the week-long clinic have varied goals and experiences, but all said they share a common love of jazz and a love of playing jazz. They spoke of blues scale, not the basic do-re-mi, and riffs, or solo improvisations.

Batman said he understands jazz theory, but is interested in learning better technique and style.

"I've been to camp four times because of the faculty, specifically guitarist Jack Peterson and Rich Matteson," Batman said.

Shawnee trombone player, Zachary Lee, 15, attended camp for the first time because he loves jazz and wants to learn technique.

"I didn't know what blues scale was," Lee said. "I always just played by ear. Regular scales sound hollow. The most important thing I learned was the blues scale."
