Vol. 80, No. 60

CSU salaries surpass OU and OSU for their third successive year Thanks to a 15 percent average increase in faculty salaries, CSU's professors will receive the highest average pay increase of any state-supported institution in Oklahoma, and will probably be the highest paid senior college faculty in a ten-state region for the third consecutive year.

The State Board of Regents for Higher Education recommended that CSU's 392 professors and instructors have an average salary of $26,300 next fiscal year. Instead, it has risen to $30,570.

"I feel strongly that the faculty is qualified for this raise," said Dr. Bill Lillard, president of Central State. "Typically they carry a heavier teaching load than other colleges in the state (in hours and student class size). But many professors I've talked to say they would rather have slightly longer hours and a few more students in each class and be able to provide more for their families. This way they are paid several thousand more per year than their contemporaries."

Funds have also been diverted to the hiring of four professors in the School of Business and four in the School of Math and Sciences. According to Lillard, "That's almost a quarter of a million for new staff already."

Lillard denies that any other facet of the budget is suffering because of the increased wages. "We have the resources for all pay raises. We are not neglecting other areas of the budget. The state legislature, due to the strong condition of the Oklahoma economy, had adequate resources to provide for state services.

Central State has all phases of the budget covered.

"We do have to pay better salaries. We are in an urban area, in competition with (industry). It's easier here to change jobs without selling the home and moving." Lillard also mentioned a survey ranking Edmond and Broken Arrow as the two most expensive areas in Oklahoma to live in.

"We're not in competition with other institutions. We respect the job they are doing. I feel that as we grow, they grow and as they grow, we grow. We're all tied together in delivering services to the citizens of Oklahoma."

University statistics indicate that the average salary for full professors has risen 15.2 percent; 14.9 percent for associate professors; 15.4 percent for assistant professors; and 14.6 percent for instructors. Thus full professors will receive an average of $4,623 more next year, associate professors will get $4,120, assistant professors will get $3,828, and instructors will get $2,982.

"We started issuing contracts July 1. About one in three of those has returned a personal note of thanks," Lillard said.

"Each year we're getting fewer and fewer resignations from faculty going to other colleges."

The state legislature appropriated $4.5 million for Central State for the 1982-83 year.

"Also, we came through with some very nice raises for the support staff." Maintenance, clerical and custodial raises will average from 18 to 20 percent.

"I've talked to some faculty members who say they remember one year when they received a $50 a year raise (at CSU). This, I think, makes up for those years of deprivation."

Opinion Page Auto insurance more for males than for females

by James Jones Single males under 25 in this country pay more for automobile insurance than any other age group. Even with various "good driver" and "small car" discounts, their rates are substantially higher.

While it is true that single males under 25 have the highest accident record, not all of them are in this category. Many have "no accident" records, but are still charged the highest rate.

Editorial On the other hand, females in the same age and marital bracket pay far less for the same coverage. A single 21-year-old male will pay between $300 and $500 a year for insurance, depending on the car and amount of coverage.

Area west of baseball field becoming dumping grounds To the editor:

Recently I read a letter in the Vista concerning the "looks" of the CSU campus and it reminded me that I had been intending to write to someone about an eyesore I have noticed growing worse.

I drive to and from work every day on University Drive and see the area west of the baseball field becoming uglier and uglier as the school dumps its old appliances, vehicles and equipment. I feel sorry for the people who live in that area and must see that sight every day from the windows of their homes.

I know that grounds maintenance and beautification is expensive, but surely some natural or man-made

screen can be devised around that area either on the outside or inside of the fence.

The trees planted there are not doing well, and even if they were, would not hide the mess. There are many evergreen shrubs that grow fast. If you don't have a knowledgable person on the staff, consult a local nurserman, Harry Francis, City of Edmond, or even the horticulturist at the County Extension Office.

I would appreciate your consideration of my plea for making the CSU campus an asset to Edmond's physical aspect rather than a liability.

Campus pool fine but for excess chlorine and warm temperature Now that the Broncho Field House pool is open for use by CSU students and their dependents, more stringent precautions should be taken to protect the swimmers from contamination.

Due to the crowded conditions at the pool, more chlorine is added to the water. This excess chlorine, although necessary to kill bacteria and make the

water safe to swim in, is extremely harsh to eyes and makes skin peel.

The water in the pool is murky green and too warm, to be comfortable while swimming. Cleaner, colder water with less chlorine is more desirable for swimming, would attract more swimmers and encourage students already using the pool to return.

An 18-year-old female will pay approximately $50 a year less for the same coverage. A female can also have a newer car than a male, and still pay less for insurance.

Discrimination is usually thought of in terms of race, or females being denied certain privileges simply because of their sex. Charging a male a higher insurance rate simply because he is a male is also discrimination.

Sometimes it is called "reverse discrimination."

An alternate plan would be to charge all drivers a basic rate when they first buy insurance. The same rate could be charged to all drivers, regardless of age or sex. Then the ones who are responsible for accidents could be charged a higher rate, while the ones who maintain a non-accident record could be charged the same, or even a lower rate.

That way, only the ones who need more coverage would pay for it. Good drivers wouldn't be penalized for someone else's mistakes.

Oklahoma law requires all drivers to purchase at least liability insurance.

But because the rates are so high, many males choose to disobey the law and drive without insurance. Some simply cannot afford it. They are not only taking a great risk, they are in violation of the law. If the initial purchase of the insurance was not so high, many more would have it.

Insurance is a necessary part of owning a car. It provides security both for the driver and others traveling the road. Since it is both necessary and required by law, a more fair system is needed.

If only the drivers who need more insurance coverage pay the higher rates, the system would eventually balance.

Age, sex and marriage are not necessarily the ingredients. Drivers should be given a chance to prove themselves, and not pay for someone else's mistakes.

July 4th celebration A wide variety of events were planned this year for our country's birthday in Edmond, Edmond's Fourth of July Festival was designated as Oklahoma's official Independence Day Diamond Jubliee Celebration.

Indpendence Day celebrations started off with a three day rodeo in the areana at the Edmond FFA livestock barn, north of town.

The annual July 4th parade began Saturday at 10 a.m. with "Old Glory" leading the way, left. Later that evening, at CSU's Wantland Stadium, above, $6,000 worth of fireworks sparked and lighted up the night sky while approximately 50,000 people looked on.

Parachuters, opposite page upper left, demonstrated their ability and accuracy as they landed before the fire works show in the

center of the stadium field.

Dr. Bill Lillard, president, left center, waved to the crowd along the parade route Saturday morning, as four Phantom jets, center right, flew overhead to kick off the parade just after 10 a.m.

E.C. Hafer Park was the location of afternoon activities including a free watermelon feed, lower right. Children of all ages tried their hand, as well as their feet, at the greased pole climb, lower middle, and horeshoe contests, lower left, were held thoughout the day.

Afternoon music and entertainment was presented by "Stardust," below. Music ranged from "Chicago" to "The Go Go's!"

This year's activities were chaired by Fourth of July Inc. Chairman Stephen Gragg.

Wyoming conference helpful for English professor Saunders, Dr. Steve Garrison and Dr. Don Duffy represented CSU at the annual conference.

"Teaching English: A Humanistic Perspective for the 80's" was the theme this year.

"We flew in Sunday and left at noon on Wednesday," said Rice.

"We thought we shouldn't be away from summer school for more than three days. I hope to eet to stay all week next year."

This was the first year that Rice, Saunders and Garrison had attended the conference.

"Dr. Duffy went several years before," said Rice. "He thought it really helped him with his freshman students."

The conference was nationally represented. General sessions were held each morning and afternoon.

"There were two basic thrusts to the conference overall," said Rice. "One was for people doing research in writing and the other was to give practical suggestions for the teaching of freshman and sophomore English.

"Linda Flower, from CarnagieMellon University, was one of the consultants," said Rice. "The topic was "The Pregnant Pause: Planning. and Writing." She also gave a talk on "Revision: Does it Depend On Intuition of Strategy?"

"One of the main consultants was W. Ross Winterowd from the University of Southern California," said Rice. His topic was "Composition Across the Curriculum."

Rice felt a third important consultant was J. Paul Hunter from the University of Rochester. His topic was "Words Enough and Times."

"The topic was about the value of words to people," said Rice.

"Hunter said 'Words are to be praised. They're all we have except each other'." Hunter's views were that every university professor should have to teach freshman English in order to keep in touch with the real world.

Some of the individual sessions Rice attended were: "Writing in Literature Courses,"; "Teaching Writing: A Variety of Approaches"; and an important session entitled "The Dreadful Has Already Happened: Reading, Writing and Rhetoric."

"The basic idea is that writing and literature should not be separated," said Rice. "There is a real danger in letting composition become a dicipline in itself. One should not be taught without the other."

Rice, who is the director of graduate studies, presently teaches two freshman classes and

one upper level English class. She thought that the two basic thrusts of the conference were beneficial to her.

"I used two of the ideas the first two days I \ras back," said Rice. "One was the importance of letting students read each others' work. The second is having students rewrite a paragraph that they had previously written, adding parallel structure.

Rice noted that the attitude of the consultants was positive towards the ability to teach English skills.

"The teachers were highly enthusiastic on teaching excellent communication skills," commented Rice. "Winterowd is working to develop a campus center staffed by all teachers in all areas to teach students to communicate.

For Sherri Hancock, CSU's new Financial Aid Director, corning to work at CSU was just like corning home.

Hancock began to work at CSU in early June. Before coming to CSU Hancock worked in the Financial Aid Department at Oscar Rose Junior College in Midwest City. She had worked there since 1978.

Hancock received both her bachelor and master degrees from CSU. She graduated in 1968 with

a bachelor's degree in Secondary Education. In 1977 she graduated with a master's degree in Guidance and Counseling.

Hancock claims that the funding for the next year is good.

"CSU did not experience a bad cut from the economic policies, but the funding was slightly reduced," said Hancock.

Hancock added that some changes have been made concerning the Guaranteed Student Loan.

Last year any student was eligible to apply for the Guaranteed Stu-

dent Loan. This year, however, only those students coming from families with an annual income of $30,000 will be eligible for the loan.

Hancock believes that her new position at CSU will broaden her view of the financial aid area. She also feels that the transfer from a two-year college to a four-year college will present some challenges and new learning experiences.

Hancock concluded that so far CSU has been very enjoyable.

The University of Wyoming was the learning center for four CSU English teachers last week.

"The 1982 Wyoming Conference of Freshman and Sophomore English" was held June 28-July 2 in Laramie, Wyoming.

"I was very enthusiastic about going to the conference," commented Rice. "I wanted to go to this conference to gain insight.

We are hoping to develop a new emphasis on our MA program.

"I've always liked school," said Rice. "It was like being in school. I like to gain insights in other ways from people across the country. I feel teachers need to be stimulated in order to stimulate students."

Photo lab ain't pretty, baby! hallowed den wall, or perhaps to be published in a magazine or newspaper.

Once the new student becomes familiar with the lab and the equipment, they settle down to work, adjusting to the dim lighting and oppressive heat and humidity. Some of the more dedicated students spend countless hours in the lab, burning up hundreds of sheets of paper and producing good quality pictures. Some students become discouraged and hardly show up at all.

To provide assistance, encouragement and insure that a fresh supply of chemicals are on hand, the photography department hires three lab technicians each semester. These lab techs are advanced photography students, somewhat versed in the jargon of picture taking principles, mature concerned individuals ready to assist those who need assistance and to provide counsel and guidance for all.

Photography is creative, relaxing, rewarding and lucrative. An excellent hobby, a broad competitive field of employment opportunities is available to all who feel the need to excell. If a challenge is what you seek, enroll in photography soon. Get the picture?

By J.D. McDaniel

In a dark, damp, humid basement on campus, there lies submerged shrouded in mystery, a realm of darkness, a place where the magical art of photography is taught, practiced and perfected.

The Photography Lab., located in the Communication building is sinister and foreboding to some, enchanting and beckons to others, yet it is a wondrous place for all. A place where time is captured forever, youth and beauty is retained young and innocent, unravaged by time. A place where fantasies come true as beginning photographers challenge their minds, creating, composing and printing. A place where the advanced photographers perfect their skills.

A sparsely decorated office greets the new students as they enter the lab. Developing rooms, dryers and cabinets line the walls.

Empty doorways lure the students into their dark recesses daring them to test their newly acquired skills learned in the classroom.

Having stealthily stalked an unphotogenic subject and successfully captured them on film, they enter these sacred portals hoping to emerge from the darkness with a printed trophy worthy of an honored place on the

Senate subcommittee upholds right to bear arms Outdoor Oklahoma "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

•

In what is probably the most extensive legal research yet made public on the Second Amendment's "right to keep and bear arms," the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee has released a formal report citing "clear proof" based on historical and legal evidence supporting the individual right of Americans to arms ownership.

Prepared by the Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution, chaired by U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, the report states: "the conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept and wording of the Se-

cond Amendment . . .indicates that what is protected is an individual right of a citizen to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner."

Entitled "The Right to Keep and Bear Arms, the report contains nearly 200 pages covering 11 centuries of legal development. It not only contains findings of Second Amendment history, but also an analysis of firearms law enforcement, an anthology of legal decisions, articles by constitutional scholars and other studies.

From English common law to the British Declaration of Rights in the seventeenth century to the American Bill of Rights a century later, the historical evidence overwhelmingly supports the individual rather than collective in-

In his preface to the report, Sen. Hatch emphasizes that the evidence is indisputable. "What

The report notes that when the term "militia" first came into use around 1588, it was understood as designating the entire body of arms-owning citizens. The Second Amendment, the report states, could not have been intended to protect modern National Guard units since these were never meant

by Congress to be the constitutional militia.

"That the National Guard is not the militia referred to the Second Amendment is even clearer today," the report finds.

In addressing firearms law enforcement in this country, the report gives unqualified endorsement to reform of the Gun Control Act of 1968. Reform legislation has been introduced by U.S. Sen. James McClure and U.S. Rep. Harold Brolkmer.

Graham established the $1,000 per year scholarship in the name of her mother who founded the first women's ready-to-wear shop in Edmond in 1949.

One of the first CSU scholarships designated for fashion merchandising students, the recipient of the award will receive $500 for fall 1982 and $500 for spring 1983 semesters. Dr. Gaffney said a home economics scholarship committee is now reviewing applications.

Herpes e edemic increases among noun adults Medical authorities believe that genital herpes has become one of the most important and espisodically frequent sexually transmitted diseases in the U.S. Some 20 million Americans are currently afflicted with this often recurrent viral disease and 300,000 to 500,000 new cases are appearing each year. Moreover the most rapid spread of herpes genitalis appears to be among white educated men and women between the ages of 25 and 35.

In one study over 20 percent of patients said they had contemplated suicide. Genital herpes is a lifelong infection with no known cure. It is marked by painful lesions in the genital area and may break out every two or three months in some patients.

The disease is highly infectious which leads to serious disruptions of social and sexual relationships and in some to depressive feelings.

Soon after an initial infection is contracted, pain and itching are felt and often there is also a sore throat, swollen glands, fever and aches. These symptons intensify and are followed by the formation of fluid fulled lesions in the genital areas.

People who have not had a prior exposure to herpes and simplex virus usually experience the most severe symptoms and sometimes require hospitalization. Such people lack the HSV antibodies the body produces to fight the infection. Most people have HSV-1 antibodies by the time they are 50. Almost all children in lower socioeconomic groups may have them by the time they are five, but many of those in upper socioeconomic groups still lack them by their early 20's, and this is the group among whom the disease is said to be spreading most rapidly.

Recurrences sometimes begin three to four months after the first infection and then come back every two months or so, although the frequency varies greatly. "Prodromal" or early warning symptoms of burning, tingling and numbness, at the point where a lesion will appear, may precede the formation of recurrent lesions. Generally, there are fewer lesions in recurrent outbreaks.

The infection is usually contracted through sexual contact with someone who is "shedding virus", sending off millions of infectious viruses. Shedding usually coincides with symptoms and lesion formation but sometimes the

virus is shed without symptoms, which may explain why some people are infected by those who have no history or symptoms of genital herpes.

Infection begins when viruses invade normal cells and turn them into viral "copying machines," reproducing up to 20,000 viruses in a single day. Most of these viruses have the same invasive capacity. The infection subsides when it is successfully fought off by the body's immune system.

Unfortunately, though, not all the viruses are killed. They travel along nerve fibers and lodge in a dormant state in nerve bundles, ganglia until stimulted to begin reproducing. When they travel back down the nerve fibers to the infection site, lesions recur. Recurrences can be "triggered" by stress, hormonal changes, and a variety of other factors.

Physicians advise herpes genitalis patients to keep affected areas clean and dry. They also counsel abstinence from sex when there are lesions since lesions are a certain sign of contagiousness. Women with genital herpes are ad-. vised to have regular pap smears and be monitored carefully during pregnancy.

Student, disibility benefits reduced People who receive Social Security disability benefits as well as benefits from another public disability programs should be aware of a recent change in the law that provides for an offset that may limit the total amount of their disability benefits.

According_ to Mary L. Johnsen, district manager of the Oklahoma City Social Security Office, the provision enacted last summer as a part of P.L. 97-35, extends the Social Security disability offset that applied to workers' compensation and to certain other public disability benefits provided by federal, state and local programs.

Under the law, payments to a disabled worker who also receives another public disability benefit cannot exceed 80 percent of the

worker's average earnings before he or she became disabled. The age at which the offset applies was also raised from 62 to 65.

The offset applies to people who became disabled after February 1981 and who first became entitled to disability benefits four months after August 1981. It will apply the first month the disabled beneficiary receives both Social Security and the public disability benefit.

The offset will not apply to need-based benefits, to Veterans Administration disability benefits, private pensions, insurance benefits, or public employee pensions based on service covered under Social Security.

A Social Security survey showed that about 44 percent of the people who received Social Security disability benefits also received benefits from various other public and private programs. Total benefits to these people were, in the average, more than twice the amount paid to those receiving Social Security benefits only.

About 12,000 workers and dependents are expected to he affected in fiscal N'ear 1982.

Students 18 through 22 who are receiving monthly Social Security checks are reminded about recent important changes that will reduce or eliminate future benefits. Students will be affected primarily because of the type of

school they attend and when their benefits started.

Those attending college or other post-secondary schools will have their payment continue until they finish school, reach age 22, marry, or through April 1985, whichever comes first.

However, students will only receive these benefits if they were entitled to a Social Security check for August 1981, when the law was changed, and were attending a post-secondary school full-time before May 1982.

But certain changes are that students aren't receiving checks for May, June, July and August even if they are in school fulltime, and they aren't eligible for cost-of-living increases that are

West Hall becomescampus hot spot One of the campus hot spots these days is the girls dorm, West Hall. The atmosphere is more sweltering than swinging since the air-conditioning unit broke down in mid-June.

As the temperatures rose the girls wilted and retreated to the library or resorted to traditional summer survival techniques such as turning on fans and taking off clothes. For those who just couldn't study or sleep in the heat, cool rooms in the north wing were made available.

As it was, when the rooms were assigned at the end of May, the summer residents were concentrated in the new wing so that the air-conditioning units in the two tc o 4:

older sections could be overhauled without causing inconvenience.

However, those plans seemed to have backfired.

It would have been impractical to move everybody. According to Ann Pendergraft, West Hall's Head Resident, those who had phones installed didn't want to leave them behind or pay another installment charge. Others dreaded the thought of moving midsemester and preferred to stay put and hope for a speedy repair job or early snowfalls.

According to one CSu engineer, the air-conditioning unit died of exhaustion while overworking trying to cool the campus. Girls who found the air-conditioning too ef-

fective a few weeks back opened their window to let in warm air.

The compressor sucked in air from outside and tried to cool it before sending it out through the

system. The pace finally became too much.

If everything goes as planned, the unit should be operative again

by Monday.
