Regents elect officers; allocate school funds The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, at their June 29 meeting, approved budgets for institutions for the State System (Educational and General Budget, Part I) total $464,805,102. This budget does not include federal funds or other sponsored programs (E&G, Part II) for the fiscal year. State-approprated funds for the institutional budgets totaled $378,377,641 with the balance of the operating budget ($86.4 million) coming from Revolving Fund income, principally students and tuition. More than 78 percent of the State System institutional budgets is designated for salaries, wages and staff benefits. The amount budgeted for teaching salaries totaled $164,052,820. The State Regents also approved $63,784,669 in sponsored budgets (Educational and General Budget, Part II) from federal funds and other sources for State System institutions in 1983-84. Other business conducted at the meeting included electing new officers and funding of the TAG program for state students. The newly-elected Chairman of the State Regents is Joe F.Gary, Durant businessman, who succeeds Dr. Eugene L. Swearingen, Tulsa. Mr. Gary was Vice Chairman of the State Regents for 1982-83, after serving as Secretary for 1981-82. He was first appointed to the State Regents by Gov. David Hall in 1971 and served as chairman of the board in 1975-76. He was appointed by Gov. George Nigh in 1979 for a second nine-year term. Enid banking executive Bert H. Mackie will fill the position of Vice Chairman of the State Regents for 1983-84. Mackie was appointed to the State Regents by Gov. Boren in 1977. A vice president and director of the Security National Bank in Enid, he served as secretary of the Regents in 1982-83. Russell D. Vaught, Midwest City, was elected to the post of Secretary of the State Regents for 1983-83. Vaught was first appointed to the State Regents in 1973 by Gov. David Hall and reappointed to the second nine-year term by Gov. George Nigh in 1982. Vaught, President of RDV Energy Co., an oil Field equipment sales firm, served as Chairman of the Regents in 1977-78. Elk City rancher, Bob F. Allee was Assistant Secretary of the board for 1983-84. Mr. Allee has begun serving his third term on the State Regents and served as Chairman of the board in 1960-61 and 1979-80. The Regents also allocated $6,181,738 in funds appropriated by the 1983 Oklahoma Legislature for support of the TAG program. The Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant Program will have some $8.2 million available for assistance to Oklahoma college and university students in 1983-84. The Regents also accepted a federal grant of $806,448 through the State Student Incentive Grant program to supplement the state funds. In addition, State Regents' staff estimates a carry-over of $1,225,968 in unused 1982-83 TAG funds which were reapVista photo by Michael Keen propriated by the legislature for the Tuition Aid Grants.

Speed limits need respect
Opinion Page
By Matthew Driskill It is shocking and worrisome to me that so many people on campus ignore the posted speed limits designed to protect motorists and pedestrians alike. I heard a story the other day about a little boy who was riding his bike by the business building and was almost run over by a car that was driving too fast to stop in time. The boy got out of the way and narrowly escaped injury. I myself have been the victim of a driver who was speeding and could not stop in time. As a result I had to spend several days in the hospital with a broken elbow and assorted scrapes and bruises. The driver of the car that hit me was sorry and felt terrible about the whole affair. I didn't feel too good about the episode either. The point is, the whole thing could have been avoided if the driver had slowed down to the posted limit and payed attention to where she was going. So the next time you are driving on campus and going too fast, stop and think about the little boy who almost got hit. Try and imagine how you are going to explain to his mother that you were running behind schedule and had to get to the beauty shop or to the store before it closed. Next time you catch yourself speeding because you're late, think about it. Slow down.

Soviets slice American pie By Tonia Sykes "The Sunday Oklahoman" printed an Associated Press article June 26 entitled "Reagan, Andropov Join War Against Nuclear Fear" which related the reactions of Ronald Reagan and Yuri Andropov to letters both received from schoolchildren who expressed their fears of nuclear war. Samantha Smith, a 10-year-old fifth grader from Manchester, Maine asked Andropov, "Why do you want to conquer the whole world, or at least our country?" Andropov replied, "We in the Soviet Union are doing everything so that there will be no war between our two countries, so that there will be no war at all on earth..." Andropov possibly allayed the fears of the naive ten-year-old however, the subtleness of his response should be evident to anyone who is cognizant of
Russian history and -or Andropov's background. Martin Ebon, author of "The Andropov File", wrote an article for Psychology Today, May 1983 entitled "The Four Faces of Andropov." He described the faces as fear-inspiring image of the cheif of the KGB; superbureaucrat, the impersonal Communist apparatchik, a creation of the all-encompassing party machinery and a man in well-tailored Western clothes, a wordly sophisticate, fascinated with American culture, even a liberal. "Yuri Andropov appears to be a man of relentless determination and sharp intelligence, of confidence and self-control, impelled by an ascetic devotion to the Soviet Union," Ebon concluded. Of course Andropov is doing everything possible so there will be no war with the United States.
"Everything" includes stockpiling nuclear weapons and overtaking the smaller, less powerful countries, either directly or indirectly. Nobody in the United States wants war. On the other hand, nobody in the United States wants to be controlled by the Soviet Union. But, rather than doing everything possible to prevent the possibility of a takeover, American adults (?) are expending their energies protesting the funding for and the research and developement of nuclear weapons. Elbert Hubbard wrote in "The Philistine", Vol. V, "the recipe for perpetual ignorance is: be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge." If the Soviets could gain control of all other countries, the United States would become the final slice of the Soviet's ignorant pie.

Magazine accepts student's article
State,local, world news Casey denies allegations William Casey, director of the Central Intelligence Agency and President Reagan's 1980 campaign manager, said Tuesday it would have been "totally uncharacteristic and quite incredible" for him to have obtained President Carter's private debate strategy plans for use by the Republican campaign aides who prepared Ronald Reagan for the 1980 debate with Carter. Casey strongly disagrees with the recollection of White House chief of staff, James Baker, that the private Carter debate papers used to rehearse Reagan had come directly from Casey. In commenting on Baker's statement that he was given some debate material "by William Casey with the suggestion that it might be of use to the debate briefing team," Casey said that it was possible he might have handed on some papers to Baker without studying them, but highly unlikely he would have overlooked the hundreds of pages of Carter materials found in Reagan compaign files that currently are being investigated by the Justice Department.
Andropov warns official Yuri Andripov warned visiting West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl Tuesday that deployment of new U.S. missiles in Germany would create a serious military threat to West Germany, damage its relations with Moscow and line the gulf between the two Germanys with a "thick palisade of missiles." "If it comes to deployment, we will neither surrender our postions nor weaken our defenses but take prompt and effective measures in response to ensure the security of the U.S.S.R. and its allies," Andropov told the West German. Andropov insisted Soviet medium-range missiles now targeted in Europe were "merely a countervalance" to existing Western systems, and were not aimed at West German armed forces. "But if American missiles are deployed on West German soil, the situation will change," he continued.
Health risks discussed, Chemical companies making dioxin-contaminated Agent Orange secretly discussed the extreme toxicity of the Vietnam War defoliant many times before its ban in 1970, according to court documents released Tuesday. The documents show company officials discussed "known health problems" and described dioxin as "exceptionally toxic," and that they wanted to solve the contamination problem before outsiders "cause us no end of grief." Attorneys for the vererans contend "silence and confidentiality were the code words utilized to conceal the knowledge which these defendants had amassed concerning the potential health hazards" associated with Agent Orange contaminated with the unwanted chemical byproduct called dioxin. The veterans blame the herbicide for a wide range of ailments, including a severe skin disorder called chloracne, liver disease and birth defects in offspring.
By Matthew Driskill Glenn McIntyre, a CSU student, has recently published his first article in a national magazine. The article deals with Tahlequah, Okla., and has been published in the July—August issue of The Saturday Evening Post. "It's a travel piece with a historical twist," McIntyre said. "It tells the history of the town, about the Trail Of Tears and how the Cherokees came to Oklahoma. It also tells how the Trail of Tears pagent has brought new life to Tahlequah." McIntyre received his bachelor's and master's degrees in history from the University of Oklahoma and studied for one summer at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. He graduated from OU in 1971. McIntyre has been a historic planner for the state since 1979, writing interpretive texts that are displayed in state parks, and is now the curator of the Chisolm Trail museum in Kingfisher. He has been involved in the creative writing program here since 1976. "What I've been doing is working full-time and then I would see a class that I would like to take and come up one or two nights a week, whatever I could fit into my schedule." McIntyre became interested in the school when a friend recommended the program to him. "I had a real good friend who came up here and told me about the school. I've taken the novel writing class under Marylin Harris and a few others. I really like the school, and having the support of the teachers and all the students helps motivate me to write. "Another reason I chose this program is because I have a lot of ties to Edmond and I knew that the size of the program would allow me to receive individual attention and I liked that aspect of it." To get his article published, McIntyre had to submit to four different magazines before The Saturday Evening Post finally accepted it.
"I told Dr. Warren (chairman of creative studies department) that I was getting rejected by all these little magazines so why not send it in and see if the bigger ones would accept it. I sent a query letter to The Saturday Evening Post, in March and about the end of April I received a letter from them saying they were interested in my article. Then I sent it in and did not hear from them until I got a call from my father asking me if I had seen the latest issue of The Saturday Evening Post. I told him no, I hadn't seen it and he told me that my article was in it. "I guess they send the subscribers their edition before it hits the newsstands. I still haven't heard from them since I sent the article in, but I figure they'll call or send me a check before long. "The reason I chose The Saturday Evening Post was because I read in the Writer's Market they accept unsolicited manuscripts. Anytime you see that it's a red flag telling you to send your stuff in. So I did and in this case it paid off." McIntyre has other plans for his writing career. "I have a novel completed that we are trying to market right now. It deals with ancient Israel and the prophet Jerimiah. It's called Kingdom of
Summer is a time when blood donations frequently dwindle to dangerously low levels. Many Oklahomans take vacations and travel out of state during the summer months and find themselves with less time to donate badly needed blood. At the same time, daily blood requirements may actually increase due to summertime accidents. This combination of low summer donations and heavy daily needs produces a tremendous burden on Oklahoma's blood supply.

Fire disrupts phone service Ten Oklahoma communities were left without telephone service Tuesday after a mattress fire damaged telephone cable lines strung along the 11th Street Bridge in Tulsa early Tuesday morning. Southwestern Bell Telephone officials said the fire disrupted telephone sevice for Sapula, Kiefer, Mounds, Kellyville, Bristow, Depew, Stroud, Boley, Okemah and Castle. Tulsa firefighters said the fire apparently was started by transients seeking shelter under the bridge that spans the Arkansas River. The fire was minor, except for the damage to the telephone lines.

In an effort to keep summer blood supplies at safe levels, the Oklahoma State Department of Health is encouraging Oklahoma citizens to donate blood this summer at their local blood center or mobile blood unit. Type 0 blood, the most commom blood type, is used more frequently and therefore is often needed the most. Unfortunately, since 0 blood is found more in the population than other types, people with 0 blood often feel that they do not need to donate on a regular basis. State Health Commissioner Joan K. Leavitt, M.D., explains, "It isn't unusual for people with less common blood types to donate regularly, while people with 0 blood receive more transfusions. Oklahomans with type 0 blood are very special individuals and are essential for maintaining safe levels of lifegiving blood."

The announcer said that 60,000 to 70,000 people were watching the fireworks display at Wantland Stadium Monday night.
Rain doesn't dampen crowd's spirits on 4th Story and photos by Theresa Gabrish Everything except the weather was perfect for Edmond's Fourth of July festivities. However, the occasional raindrops and humidity did not put the damper on many people's spirits. Most people were found sitting along Broadway and Second Streets watching the parade, which was composed of over 125 entries. They included clowns, floats, music and horses. The main attraction however, was the 150 foot American flag. After two hours of watching the parade, the crowd moved to Hafer Park, where they were greeted with music, food of all kinds and free watermelon. Congressman Mickey Edwards delivered a speech to the crowd and the music soon followed. The park was filled with family picnics and other family oriented activities. Other activities held this weekend included the rodeo and the fireworks display at CSU's Wantland Stadium. Concentration is the trick for juggler Jim Howell.

KCSC CSU's student operated radio station, KCSC 90.1 FM, will begin weekly broadcasts of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra at 7 p.m., July 7. The orchestra is under the direction of American composer and pianist, Lukas Foss. Foss was born in Berlin on August 15, 1922. Before moving to Paris in 1933, he began piano and theory studies. In 1937, he moved to the United States with his family. He attended the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia where he studied piano with Isabelle
Vengerova and conducting with Fritz Reiner. He also studied conducting with Serge Koussevitzky at the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood. Paul Hindemith instructed him on composing at the Yale School of Music. Foss's work was first published when he was fifteen. He won wide acclaim for the cantata "Praire" on Sandburg's poem. His awards include the New York Music Critics' Award, the Guggenheim Fellowship and the Rome Prize. He has appeared as a guest conductor with many orchestras in the United States and Europe. He has conducted the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Brooklyn Philharmonia, the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the New York Philharmonic. Throughout his career, he won wide acclaim as a concert pianist, but he is probably best known for his performances and recordings of Bach.
Lab assistant leaves after 12 years "I've got the best job on campus," boasted Allen A. Watson, lab assistant for biology and zoology for 12 years. "If you like little animals, I got the best job on campus." This energetic, likable man has been an employee at CSU for 12 years. Although he doesn't like to admit it, it's time for him to retire. Watson's roots run deep at CSU and Edmond. His grandparents came here in the Run of 1889. They were also present at the Kickapoo Run of 1895. Watson claims they took a picnic lunch and watched everyone else participate. They didn't participate because they already had all of the land they could handle in Logan County and because there were 16 people for each allotment. His parents met right across the street from Old North Tower. His father, a teacher at Whitefield, was late to a community singing in the attic of Old North, when he saw a house on fire across the street from Old North. He was the first one to see it because everyone else was at the singing. He put out the fire and as it turned out, Watson's mother lived in the house. That's how his parents met. Watson's father kept the minutes of the meeting for the first legislative meeting held in Guthrie before statehood. After the legislature adjourned, the participants signed a letter of recommendation for Watson's father. That letter contains the signatures of all 77 participants in the first state legislature, the only known document to contain all the signatures of that first meeting. "I have led an exciting life," claimed Watson. He was in the Signal Corps in World War II. He worked as a transmitting engineer and as a stringer for KTVY for about 15 years. In addition, Watson worked for KOMA and
KOCY. He played the part of Polly Parrot in B1 soft drink commercials. Part of Watson's job as a lab assistant is caring for the lab animals. He knows every animal as an individual, picking up each one and calling it Charlie. He likes to show the animals—the mountain boomer, the turtles, the rabbits, the palomino mice, the snake, the tadpoles and the tarantula. "I go for this and go for that," laughs Watson who describes himself as kind of a gopher. Really his job is to do whatever the teachers request of him to prepare for their classes. "He always worked far more than the work week," said Dr. Warren L. Smith, chairman of the biology department. "He comes in weekends to see that everything is okay. He is so versatile and able to do so many things. He's tremendously knowledgeable. "He has always paid particular attention to the international students. He has always made it a point to learn a few words of their language so he can say hello to
them. He speaks Spanish quite well. "His character is absolutely above reproach. Everyone can consider Allen Watson their friend. He is always willing to help anybody do anything he wants to do." Watson has many things planned for his retirement. He repairs TVs for the Edmond Association for Retarded Citizens (EARC). He also collects stamps. Watson decribes himself as being like Goofy. He likes to fish, but if someone were to pull his line out of the water, he might not find any bait on it. Anyone who has seen the huge rainbow trout hanging on the wall of his office, would find that hard to believe. Last Friday was supposed to be Watson's last day to work on the CSU campus, but he can still be found keeping busy in Howell Hall. He eagerly finds time to visit with students. His friendly attitude shows his favorite saying, "People are more important than things."

Microchips replace card files By Robin Rizzieri CSU introduced a computerized on-line card catalogue system on June 9, 1983. Fourteen terminals are located throughout Max Chambers Library that will increase efficiency and save students a great deal of time in researching needed materials. "The catalogue has been well received," said Clemma Rita McCawley, assistant director for public services. "Of course, the students are used to using cornputers and so this is not a problem to them. A lot of hard work has been put into the system to make it very simple to use." Nine terminals are located on the first floor, one on the second floor, two at periodicals and one at government documents on the third floor and one has also been placed on the fourth floor of the library. "The software was purchased from Northwestern On-Line Total Information System(NOTIS), but our own data processing center specifically tailored and designed the catalogue for CSU student needs. They took the program and with their own expertise and additional programs that they had to write on campus, custom fit this system to CSU. That's what makes it so superior." Other schools using this on-line catalogue are Harvard University, Clemson University, University of Florida, University of Cincinnati, the State Library of Venezuela,
and the State Library of Chile. The new catalogue contains entries for catalogued materials acquired since 1978 as well as older materials which are being entered into the system as quickly as possible. When the entire collection has been put on the system, the on-line catalogue will replace the card catalogue. "We'll have the hard copy until we have a chance to convert or develop our basic data file and so that will take probably 5-10 years at least to do that," said Ron Curtis, assistant director for technical services. "We continue to input data on a minute to minute basis because as you buy books you just keep inputting more information. For example, if we buy three new books today, well we'll be inputting three records. As soon as we input data it shows up in the catalogue." For current materials since 1978 the on-line search alone will retrieve all pertinent catalogued materials, including titles of the periodicals housed on the third floor. Materials can be searched by subject, author and title. Each of the three searches has an introduction with full explanation and a "help" screen. The help screens will indicate any possible input errors you may have made and will refer you to another area of the library for obtaining information should it be necessary.
With the step-by-step directions given on the screen of the catalogue along with the instructions posted beside the terminals, the system is extremely convenient and easy to operate. "I've seen students working and working in the card catalogue trying to find something where probably it would have been easier for them to just sit down and key in. I think this is easier to use," said McCawley. While funded by the school administration, it was the cooperative effort of the library and Bill Jenkins, director of the computer center, who were responsible for getting the system. "We looked at several systems and suggested this one that we purchased as our recommendation in the form of a report, due to the fact that we felt that that would be the best one for the campus, and the campus accepted it," said Curtis. "Probably in about a year to a year and a half we'll be bringing up the on-line circulation system and that way we'll be checking out books by using bar codes just like you do at the grocery store. Each item that we have will show up on the screen as to whether it is checked out or checked in or where it is. Of course, students will not know who it is checked out to. So students will have more of a grasp of where things are," said Curtis.

"Parents are advised to leave a signed and witnessed letter stating that permission is given to either a doctor or a clinic to treat the child," Edwards counseled. She added that the form should include the name of the person with whom the child is being left and also any medical history that might pertain to the child. To help children receive needed treatment, Presbyterian Hospitals in the state have prepared a program designed to allow children medical care when the parents are not available. The program, "Because You Can't Always Be There," provides the parent with a form allowing medical treatment to minors with non-threatening problems. "A child is defenseless against much of his world and this is one way the parents can help to maintain control," Edwards concluded.
Nigh appoints science task force In an effort to enact a longrange plan to attract and strengthen high technology industry in the state, Gov. George Nigh announced June 28 the formation of a 21 member Oklahoma Council of Science and Technology. "The task force, comprised of represenitives from business, industry, education and government will develop a comprehensive state plan to strengthen Oklahoma's economic development through technological innovation," the governor said. "As governor, my primary goal for Oklahoma has and continues
to be economic development. While we are making great strides in the development of new industries, we have not yet focused on the entire area of advanced technology. This is another effort to continue the diversification of Oklahoma's economic base," Nigh added. "I am charging the task force with the responsibility of assesing our state's high technology resources and potential and issue action reccommendations for the next legislative session," he said. Nigh stated, "Oklahoma is truly a state with a vast high technology potential and I am
pleased to have these outstanding individuals on-board in this capacity." "We have been monitoring what the other states are doing in this regard. This council, which has been nearly a year in the making, will focus on the best possible program for Oklahoma while avoiding the mistakes made by other competing states," he concluded. The task force will be chaired by Donald Paulsen, President of Fife Corp. of Oklahoma City which is an internationally known electronics manufacturing and marketing firm.
