Fall enrollment increase expected By Lori Miller

Staff Writer Fall enrollment at Central State University is expected to exceed the 1988 fall enrollment by about 2 percent, and offcampus arrangements are being made to alleviate classroom crowding. "Although we are still in the pre-enrollment stage," Darrell Gilliland, director of admissions and records said, "we are about 900 students ahead of

where we were this time last year. This is a 10 percent increase, but the total figure should average out to 2 percent. "More students are taking advantage of the opportunity to pre-enroll," Gilliland said, "This accounts for the signifigant increase in numbers." No new classroom building is planned for this academic year. "The state did not appropriate any funds for building purposes," Gilliland said.

Off-campus arrangements are being made to accommodate the increasing enrollment and the growing classroom shortage. Gi llilanda ttributed the increased enrollment to CSU's strong degree programs and the convenient location of the campus. "As opposed to other large universities, at CSU you can get a four-year degree without being taught by graduate assistants," he said. "CSU students

receive more individual attention from faculty." "I am excited about new admissions," Gilliland said, "There is a definite increase in the skills of students applying to college. "Students are better prepared for college," he said. "Therefore, we should be able to retain more students and graduate them in the traditional four or five years."

Staff Writer Ongoing investigations of the CSU Foundation Inc. by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and of Central State University by the state auditor and inspector's office may be nearing completion. OSBI spokesman Paul Renfrow said the bureau may present its report to the district attorney's office as early as October. Four full-time agents have been working on the foundation investigation since April, Renfrow said. One agent resigned from the agency Monday. Michael Doyle, special audit manager for the state auditor and inspector, said "there is light at the end of the tunnel," but does not know when their follow-up investigation will be completed. Both investigations stem from irregularities the state auditor and inspector's office found during an investigative audit of CSU for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1987. The audit report was released in December 1988 and included findings and recommendations made to the university and the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges. These recommendations called for CSU to maintain better control of funds and disPlease see AUDIT on page 8.

CSU asbestos stats high By Bill Kramer

Plastic drapes the old Murdaugh Hall cafeteria where an asbestos removal project covering 8,000 square feet is nearly underway.

Staff Writer Figures released by the State Health Department indicate hazardous levels of asbestos exist on the Central State University campus. Although the figures are dated June 1986, university officials failed to provide more recent data to The Vista. CSU's personnel office did release air quality index figures for two buildings to The Vista. However, this is too small a sample for a campus the size of CSU, said Dale McHard, chief

of radiation and special hazard services of the health department. Problem areas on CSU's campus include the Music Building and the Art Building, according to the figures released by McHard. Very high assessment scores of 45 were recorded in six separate areas in the Music Building. Levels requiring very close attention are rated 40 and above, McHard said. The Art Building rated 24 on the assesment chart issued by the health department and is

not considered a severe risk, but it must be watched, McHard said. CSU asbestos crew supervisor Thal Liggins said steps were taken to reduce asbestos levels in both buildings. Liggins was unable to release information concerning what action has been taken since the health department readings were released without first going through CSU Personnel. Liggins said the air quality readings, which he checks per-

"I think if my employers instructed me to do something illegal, I would have to question it. 011ie North did not do that. He should suffer tougher consequences. This shows how we treat white collar criminals. We let them off."

"I like Oliver North. If he deserved the prison sentence, he would have gotten one. He received justice in my opinion."

"I think the American people got shafted and the whole concept of justice went right down the tubes. He should be -doing prison time. A lot of other people should have gone to trial as well."

"I think that he was a scapegoat for all the others. I think the other guilty people should be brought to trial. I don't think Oliver North should escape all punishment, however."

"I consider the ruling was too lenient. I think he should have served a prison term. This is a good example of how easy criminals of today's society beat the system. For a man supposedly for the country, I consider him not even a citizen of the United States.

Students need policy-change input By DeWayne Smoot Copy Editor

The Student Advisory Board, a formal committee comprised of student government representatives from various Oklahoma colleges and universities, has approved a series of resolu tions that could establish a new—and broader—role for college students. If this strategic maneuver carries any weight with state lawmakers, students could possibly play a more influential part when it comes to institutional policy-making. The Texas Senate passed a bill quite similar to the one Oklahoma students seek. Texas students fought nearly 20 years establishing for them the right to be represented during policymaking meetings. Last year, the Oklahoma Legislature took a step toward allowing students a bigger voice when they estalished the SAB. The board represents the views of college students across the state in an official capacity, reporting directly to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. Since then, local issues on state campuses have prompted a desire by students for a voice in local decisions. A resolution concerning student activity fees—specifically, the definition of, monitotring of and administering of these fees—calls for state legislation -

establishing a student activity fee committee with at least 50 percent student membership. The committee would have the sole authority to review and determine the allocation of these funds. The resolution was spawned by cases alleging institutional mishandling of student activity fees at various state institutions. These allegations should spur students into action. As members of society being trained as professionals, students should have a controlling interest in determining which activities will best serve their campus. Incentives such as this can help establish a sense of responsibility and selfdetermination. The SAB has been a long time in the making. Members of the board have demonstrated their desire to establish "a partnership role in education." Working cooperatively to gain statewide student support for these new educational goals must start locally. A strong working relationship with the SAB and members of the Oklahoma Student Government Association is a must if students want a more active role in shaping higher education in Oklahoma. Many of the resolutions adopted by the OSGA must have legislative approval before students can ben-

efit from them. As Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos pointed out to the Texas Senate: "Here we are once again, patting the little boys and girls on the head, saying, 'you're good kiddies but you ain't got the brains or the experience (to take

With at least 50 percent student membership the committee would have the sole authority to review and determine the allocation of these funds!

on responsibility)."' It's time for students of higher education in Oklahoma to organize and press for this fundamental right to be represented when institutions initiate policy changes that will affect the students.

Dr. Phil Ball, associate professor of health and physical education, at Central State University will act as local sport coordina-

tor for team handball during the U.S. Olympic Festival July 22-30 at the International Building on the State Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City. "We'll have eight teams, four men's teams and four women's teams. They'll be designated North, South, East and West," said Ball. An afternoon and evening session will be played each day at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. respectfully. A men's and a women's session will be played during each, said Ball. Team handball was developed in northern Europe in the mid nineteenth century and is similar to basketball and soccer, Ball said. Each team has seven players and the object is to hurl a ball into a goal to score. A player can hold a ball for only three seconds and cannot be touched while in possession of the ball. Only when it is being passed or a goal attempt is made can it be stolen. The ball is made of leather and slightly larger than a baseball, Ball said.

Reaction from Central State University students to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling stating that desecration of the United States flag is protected under the First Amendment ranges from conditional support to general disagreement . On June 21, the Supreme Court overturned the conviction of Gregory Lee Johnson, who was arrested at the 1984 Republican National Convention in Dallas for burning an American flag. Under Texas law, Johnson was sentenced to a one-year jail term and was fined $2,000. "Our decision is a reaffirmation of the principles of freedom and inclusiveness that the flag best reflects, and the conviction that our toleration of criticism such as Johnson's is a sign and source of our strength," said Supreme Court Justice William Brennan following the 5-4 decision. The furor over the issue has invoked public debate as to the validity of the ruling, with President George Bush calling for an amendment to protect the flag. Students who agree with the ruling believe that desecrating the flag is protected by the Constitution as freedom of speech, but support it under certain conditions. "I think it's pretty good. I don't have anything against it (the ruling)," said Ala (who declined to give his last name), an international student from the United Arab Emirates. "What they're trying to do is represent an opinion, but to burn a flag without a reason is wrong." Lisa Bishop, a graduate student in English, said, "I don't condone those who do it (burn

the flag), but I don't prohibit those who do. I believe the Supreme Court, but I don't approve of it (flag burning) personally ." Those who dispute the validity of the ruling view the flag as a national symbol and believe it should not be desecrated. "They shouldn't allow something like that," said Crystal Johnson, employee of the CSU copy center. "You can protest without destroying the flag. "We need change, not destruction," she said. Kamrul (who declined to give his name and nationality) said, "I don't agree that a flag should be burned. In our country, we have no right to burn our national flag." "I don't agree with it (the ruling)," said Todd Boyer, a history education major. "I believe the flag represents everything America stands for." "I understand what they're (the Supreme Court) saying, but I don't agree with it (the ruling). I don't think burning the flag stands for America," he said. "I think that flag belongs to the federal government, and I don't think it should be burned," said McClinton Snell, employee of library maintenance at CSU. "I think it (the flag) represents something special." Dr. James Caster, professor of political science was unable to comment since he had not read the official legal opinion from the Supreme Court. Capt. William Yeniscavich said the military science department at CSU could not cornment due to the personal nature of the ruling, and a military opinion would go against its jurisdiction as serving the civilian populace.

The June 1 completion deadline for Evans Hall renovation has been delayed due to a number of unforeseen problems, Joyce Mounce, vice president of administration, said Tuesday. Mounce said asbestos was discovered in December by a construction worker. The asbestos was applied on a underground pipe. Removal of the asbestos delayed the project's initial efforts about 23 to 30 days. Contracts for renovation

were signed with Homco Contruction Co. and MMTArchitects Nov. 21, 1988. Actual construction began sometime between Nov. 21 and Dec.. 13, when the first progress report was received by the administration. "I think that they found some of the renovation work to be more complex then they had expected," Mounce said. "We have a CSU crew doing the surface painting. We don't have a large crew so it takes longer," said Mounce. The painters

Children's exhibit caps art program By B. Goodwin and S. Brudzinski

Student Writers The "Dream Makers/ Landtakers" exhibit, representing artwork from approximately 150 children from the area, formally opened Sunday in the Central State University Art Building and runs through Aug. 4. The exhibit ends the fourweek Children's Art Program for the Summer, for children kindergarten through sixth grade, held June 5-30. The subject matter of the program linked themes associated with Oklahoma's history of the last 100 years. The program's objective was to enrich the child's creative thinking and expression, said Jo Ann Adams, assistant professor of art and coordinator of the program. Selected artwork from the children's program is displayed with the "Dream-Makers III" regional exhibition, which includes selected children's artwork from Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas, said Bill Wallo, CSU Museum Director. "It's really a refreshing sort of spontaneity and some of the works seem precocious and sophisticated," Wallo said. The exhibit displays work that represents each grade level and each state of the region. "The jurors of art educators have really selected an array of

works that taps a lot of different sectors and goals," Wallo said. Binney and Smith Inc. developed the Crayola "DreamMakers," which visually depicts the student thoughts, ideas, and visions, to support the educational community's commitment to art, said Cheryl Hamilton, art education manager for Binney and Smith. Plaques, featuring a photograph of the child's work, were awarded to the students, and a certificate and a Crayola crayons pin were given to the teachers. Hamilton, on behalf of Binney and Smith, presented Adams a plaque in appreciation for her role as coordinator of the program. Belinda Arguello, 7, "DreamMaker" exhibit honoree of Oklahoma City, had the honor of cutting the ribbon to open the exhibit. Those who spoke at the reception to congratulate the students were: Dr. Clyde T. Jacob, CSU vice president of academic affairs; Dean Hyde, associate professor of art; Dr. William Hommel, art department chairman; and Betty Price, executive director of the State Arts Council of Oklahoma. Hours for viewing are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Sundays. For more information call 341-2980, ext. 5201.

Student Writer Central State University has been censured by the American Association of University Professors for more than 20 years. The censure action stems from the firing of CSU instructor George Benz in 1966. One CSU professor requesting anonymity said it is "regrettable" that nothing has been done about this. Fifty-two schools are currently censured, according to Academe, the official bulletin of the AAUP. "Placing the name of an institution on this list does not mean that censure is visited either upon the whole of the institution or upon the faculty, but specifically upon its present administration," according to the January/February issue of Academe. Schools that are not observing the generally recognized principles of academic freedom and tenure endorsed by the AAUP, the Association of American Colleges, and more than 100 other professional and educational organizations, may find themselves on the list of censured administrations, according to Academe. In May 1969, during their 55th annual national meeting, the AAUP voted to censure CSU. The 650 delegates voted unanimously to levy the censure because of Benz's dismissal according to a Vista article published at the time. The article states the AAUP committee felt the real reason for Benz's dismissal was his constant criticism of the administration. In another 1969 Vista article, Dr. Garland Godfrey, then pres-

ident of CSU, was quoted as saying, "The decision not to renew Mr. Benz's contract was based on the fact that he did not cooperate with college officials, he had some indiscriminate grading practices and he presented only unfounded and unjustified criticism. "We were censured because we didn't follow the 'due process' system set up by the AAUP. We followed AAUP guidelines except that we did not have a faculty committee to hear his (Benz's) appeal. The board of regents heard the appeal instead of a faculty committee," he said. The current president of the CSU AAUP chapter is Dr. Mary Jane Riley, general business professor.

"No one does anything about this because it didn't happen during their administration," Riley said. "We were censured because we denied a man due process," Riley said. "We've never corrected the situation, not in 20 years." Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president for academic affairs said, "I'd be reluctant to comment on that primarily because I don't know what the specific allegations are. "We haven't addressed the issue because I don't know what the reasons were, and of course," Jacob said, "the reasons 20 years ago may be totally irrelevant now."

Benz still teaches By Ann Hamilton

Student Writer Dr. George Benz, former Central State University economics instructor, now lives in San Antonio, Texas, where he is professor of economics at St. Mary's University. Benz has been at St, Mary's since he left Central State University in 1966. "I can be philosophical about it now," Benz said in a telephone interview last week. "It was a case of an individual faculty member becoming a burr in the side of the administration." Dr. Benz was an active faculty member. He was sponsor of the unofficial Students for a Democratic Society group and CSU's first black fraternity, among other activities.

"I should have taken steps in a court of law rather than the AAUP," Benz said. "That's what I would do differently." The AAUP and his attorney worked hard in his defense, but it was not the proper arena, Benz said. "I was judged by the board of regents rather than my peers," he said. "Basically the board of regents found it easier to find an economics professor than a university president. "CSU doesn't even respond to the AAUP's letters anymore. They have demonstrated no interest in correcting the situation. "If you want to lead a revolution, you must make sure the troops are behind you," Benz said. "It's difficult to take on the good old boys."

Jacob replies to gripes Says staff-ad timeliness could improve By Ann Hamilton

Student Writer Responding to recent criticism by several Central State University department heads in regard to the school's positionannouncement advertising procedure, Dr. Clyde Jacob, said that he believes the timeliness of the ads could be improved. In the July 6 edition of The Vista, several faculty members

said the advertising was untimely, ill-placed and sometimes in conflict with the faculty handbook. "The faculty and staff has every right to criticize and express their ideas and thoughts on the issues," Jacob, vice president for academic affairs, said. "I believe their concerns are important and relevant. They should be addressed.

"I'll be the first to admit that the timeliness of the ads could be improved," Jacob said. "However, many of the delays are caused by events off campus. For instance, when the Legislature runs behind in allocation of funds, we can't make any commitments. We might informally recruit potential faculty members, but we can't place an ad." Establishing a balance among the faculty is the goal of the university, he said. "What we've always tried to do is recruit a broad range, a diverse faculty. We also recruit a broad range of levels, some with doctoral degrees, and some that may not have completed their doctorate. "Good teaching, quality teaching does not always require a doctoral degree," Jacob said. "It should not be the number one criteria. "Personnel matters on any university campus with regard to faculty is an extremely important factor."

Col. Heintz joins CSU By Mark Ely Student Writer Colonel Eugene W. Heintz officially took over as new professor of military science Army ROTC at Central State University June 26, succeeding Colonel Terry L. May, who retired last spring. Heintz transferred from Fort Leavenworth, Kan.. where he served as a senioi iactics instructor. Heintz chose CSU over five other colleges saying that CSU has always been highly respected by military personnel.

"CSU has been very supportive of Army ROTC and I like what they have here," said Heintz. "The quality of education that CSU has to offer is as good as any of the larger universities I've seen," he said. "There seems to be a genuine interest among instructors on

what is going on with Army ROTC," Heintz said. "If you hate school, then don't join the army," Heintz said. "You never stop learning. There is opportunity in the army for smart, healthy people who are dedicated professionals and we push them," he said.

International grou taps CSU musician By Shannon Wintle Student Writer A 19-year-old Central State University freshman will leave July 20 for Tucson, Ariz., to join Up With People cast members to prepare for an 80-city, 11-month international tour. Sean Conkin, the fifth Edmond native to be chosen to participate in three years, is the only Oklahoma cast member for the 89-90 tour. Conkin, a singer-songwriter, was introduced to the organization in the spring of 1988 during a benefit performance for livertransplant recipient Ryan McCoy at Edmond High School, he said. "I was invited onstage...and it was quite an experience, one I am looking forward to repeating," he said. Each year 550 cast and crew members are chosen from over 10,000 applicants world-wide. Applications are sent to the Arizona headquarters for final evaluation. Decisions by judges are based on personality, attitude, and maturity of the applicant.

People who qualify are separated into five casts of 110 members each, said Conkin. "Whether cast or crew, each member makes a valuable contribution to the show, so ability to sing or dance is not the major criteria for being accepted into the program," he said. Performances are given at schools, nursing homes and correctional facilities. Each cast member must raise $10,000 towards the cost of tuition for the tour. This is often achieved through fundraisers and donations, said Conkin. Members are also eligible to receive scholarships from the organization. Scholarships go towards the total amount due by the members. Conkin received a $1,000 scholarship from Up With People. Conkin said he raised the other $9,000 with a raffle, a battle-of-the-bands concert, and business donations. "After the tour," Conkin said, "I plan to get a lot of rest, catch up on what my friends are doing and then...start planning the rest of my life."

Special van bought for handicapped By Debra Dinse Student Writer The South Central Safety Institute at Central State University on Monday received its first specially equipped van for handicapped drivers in 12 years, said Dr. Lonnie Gilliland, institute director. Gilliland said the $22,000 van was bought from Joe Coker Pontiac-GMC Truck and equipped by Handicapped Aids in Oklahoma City,. The last van was purchased in 1977 with federal funds, but federal budget cuts have eliminated this money source. Gilliland said the old van was outmoded, so the CSU administration decided to buy a new one with CSU funds. "Without the kind of administration we have at CSU, we wouldn't have gotten it," Gilliland said. CSU also bought the van to comply with section 504 of the

1974 Vocational Rehabilitation Act, which states that every handicapped person has the right to participate in public activities without any additional expense, Gilliland said. He said the institute also has to comply with the Highway Safety Act of 1966, which deals with driving opportunities for handicapped people, and Public Law 94142, which deals with educational opportunities for handicapped people. Gilliland said the van is equipped with zero-effort steering, hand controls and a wheel chair lift that can be activated from three different locations in the van, he said. It is also equipped with driver's elbow-activated, electric turn signals, windshield wipers and horn, Gilliland said. He said the new van will be used to teach students at each of the four handicapped driver education schools the institute conducts annually.

By Mark Ely Student Writer Central State University Broncho Battalion (Army ROTC) sent cadets to Camp Warrior, at Fort Riley, Kan., this summer for six hours of advanced leadership credit, said Capt. William W. Yeniscavich, assistant professor of military science. Camp Warrior is an eight week instructional course, designed for junior and senior cadets. Fundamentals of leadership, delegation tasks, land management and fire arms control are taught, said Yeniscavich. "Each day is a succession of leadership tasks," said Yeniscavich. "One day, a cadet is in charge of a platoon, the next day, a cadet might be on patrol somewhere. It varies from day to day." he said." Prior to Camp Warrior, cadets must complete Camp Challenge. This six week course educates, motivates and demonstrates to cadets demands of becoming outstanding leaders, said Yeniscavich. While at Camp Challenge cadets learn to work together as a team. "Physical fitness, first aid, camouflaging and basic combat skills are just a few of the things cadets learn," said Yeniscavich. Camp Warrior and Camp Challenge started June 3rd and will run through the end of July. Upon completion, cadets return back to Edmond and CSU.

NORTH, ACROSS FROM CSU STADIUM

By Stephanie Brudzinski Student Writer University officials approved the purchase of a new lighting system which is expected to improve the basketball court lighting in the Broncho Fieldhouse, said Ron Mattingly, director of purchasing for Central State University. Paperwork delays prevented crews from meeting the scheduled July 1 installation of the estimated $30,000 project. "I'm waiting on the vendor to return his copies of the contract," Mattingly said. "When he returns them, we have to

have them signed by the vice president (Vice President of Administration Joyce Mounce), and then I can issue a work order." The new lighting will be brighter and more durable than the existing system, he said. "The brightest light will be in the center of the court and it will get dimmer as it gets to the seating areas," Mattingly said. The lights also will have protective covers, he said. "There are times when there are events, such as softball practice, when it rains, and occa-

sionally a light gets broken," Mattingly said. "The covers should keep them from getting broken." Bids for the new system were opened June 12. The lowest bid of $13,911 submitted by SmithWilliams Electric Co. Inc. was accepted, Mattingly said. Estimates are presented for approval to the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Schools before bids are open. Estimates are figured high to avoid resubmitting to the board in case the lowest bid is higher than the estimate, Mattingly said.

Sports Former pro back joins CSU B-ball By Randy Anderson Sports Writer EDITOR'S NOTE: Central State University recently added former pro-football player John Sterling to the Broncho basketball roster. The Vista caught up with this multitalented athlete and found out how he started at CSU in football, went to the National Football League, and has now returned to play basketball.

You played at CSU from as a running back. What was your best performance as a Broncho? 1983 87 -

My best was a game in 1986 against Abilene Christian. I rushed for 235 yards and three touchdowns. How is it possible for you to have been payed in profootball and now compete on an amateur level again? When I left CSU I had one year of college eligibility left. I decided I was going to go ahead and use it up while I still had the chance to. Will the change from football to basketball be a problem for you, or do you consider it a challenge? I think my shot in basketball is really startin•to come back. I

have had to adjust a lot to prepare for basketball instead of football. I consider it a pretty big challenge that I am getting prepared for.

What were some of the good points, and bad points, while playing in the pros? The best point I know of is to just say I played pro-football in the NFL. The worst point was, when I was in Green Bay, getting gasoline one day and this lady jumped back in her car and locked the door. The people in Green Bay were extremely predjudice.

How did you end up back at CSU?

I just came back one day and was playing in a few pick-up basketball games. What were your thoughts on playing on a college level in a sport different from what you are used to?

When I was offered a full scholarship I thought it would be an ideal time to finish my degree in industrial safety and be a part of a sport at the same time.

Sixty-five high school students from across the state attended the 1989 Oklahoma Junior National Wrestling Camp at Central State University July 9-14. Camp coordinator Jerry Kuntz said he was very pleased with the turnout this year. We probably have the best talent we have ever had at any camp," Kuntz said. "The campers worked on technique and conditioning during the day and competed in mini-tournaments in the evening," Kuntz said. The mini-tournaments consist of competitive matches which will determine a wrestlers eligibility in the Junior National Tournament in Cedar Falls, Iowa, at the University of Northern Iowa, in August. "There are 72 spots to be filled for the tournament36-freestyle openings and 36 greco-style openings— but some of the spots are locked in by our returning champions," Kuntz said. Defending their titles are T.J, Jawarsky, from Edmond; and from Del City, Scott Schluctor and Pat Smith. In addition, there are four returning AllAmericans who have also secured spots for the tournament. The list includes Wade Gall, from Yukon, Rico Jourdan, from Lawton, J.J,McGrew, from Sperry, and Dale Simpson from Coweta. "Last year the team took first place overall and, this year, they have just as good a chance of winning—if everyone stays healthy," Kuntz said. The camp was supervised by coaches from Ponca City High School, McAlester High School, Lawton High School, Edmond High School, Putnam City North High School, Mustang High School, Yukon High School, Del City High School, Norman High School, Oklahoma University and Garden City Junior College in Garden City, Kansas.

Schmidt heads All-popular team By John Lukehart Sports Editor

F

or severalyears, the fans have been abusing the right to select the lineup for Major League Baseball All-Star game. This year is no exception. Mike Schmidt, retired since May 29, became the first retired player ever selected. However, he is ineligible because he is inactive. Schmidt, seventh on the all-time home run list, was an all-star. But, he is retired. Still, Schmidt won the closest balloting race at any position, holding off Cincinnati's Chris Sabo by 16,136 votes as the National League's third baseman. NL President Bill White and manager Tommy Lasorda will pick Schmidt's replacement. Voting by popularity was also evident with the election of Jose Canseco. Congratulations fans, Canseco has not played in a major league baseball game all season. Canseco, the American League's Most Valuable Player last year, has been out of action since spring training with a fractured wrist. He has been playing for Oakland's Class AA Huntsville team on a rehabilitation assignment. Other fan favorites deserve the nomination. Ozzie Smith, Ryne Sandberg, and Julio Franco have each had all-star caliber seasons.

414t-41Wimbledon 1989 came to a close last weekend with a few questions left unanswered. First, will Ivan Lendl ever win at Wimbledon. And second, will Martina Navratilova ever win her ninth women's championship. The answer for both questions: Not this year. Will Chris Evert ever play again at Wimbledon? Many guessperts believe Evert will retire. Evert's record at Wimbledon speaks for itself. Evert won more singles matches (96) than any other player. Navratilova was turned back for the second straight year by 20-year-old Steffi Graf. Graf cruised into Sunday's championship by defeating six opponents in straight sets. Navratilova battled, but the outcome was obvious. Graf overpowered Navratilova 6-2, 6-7, 6-1, on Wimbledon's center court. On the men's side, Boris Becker defeated Ivan Lendl, in the semifinal round, to end Lendl's quest for a Wimbledon Championship. The only Grand Slam title Lendl has not captured. While, John McEnroe was dismissed by Stefan Edberg in semifinal action. Becker overpowered Edberg in the men's final Sunday afternoon. In straight sets 6-0,7-6,6-4, Becker disposed of the defending champion Edburg to claim a third Wimbledon Championship.

Nearly 50,900 students applied for OTAG be.1 fits this year, Edney said The program served 14,7(10 of the 43,000 eligible students who applied last year. The average OTAG award is worth $762 per year. Maxwell said, as of lune 2

CSU's financial aid office received 4,800 applicants for campus-based aid for academic year 1989-90. Last year, the office processed financial aid applications for 5,590 CSU students. About 14 percent of those applicants were OTAG recipients. Maxwell said the office currently provides six financial aid programs for CSU students, excluding scholarships. Available programs are Pell Grant, Supplementary Educational Opportunity Grants, Stafford Loan, Perkins Loan, Plus/SLS

iodically, are a better way of deciding if immediate action must be taken to remove asbestos in a particular area. Liggins' samples reflect air measurements while the health depai linent measures only visible damage already caused by asbestos. Liggins says sprayed-on asbestos material is not present in the Music Building. "The Music Building is totally free of all sprayed-on asbestos. There is still some asbestos on piping, but it is coated with a rubber-type substance to ensure that asbestos fibers will not be released into the air," Liggins said. "In 1987, the final phase of removing sprayed-on material in the Fine Arts building was coin-

pleted. There is no cause for concern with the building," he said. McHard did positively comment towards the operation and maintenance program established at CSU. The program educates the maintenance crew and custodians about the dangers in the areas they work. He said existing dangers are primarily associated with asbestos in piping. "The university has seen fit to educate the maintenance staff and that's excellent," McHard said. The asbestos removal crew is currently involved in a largescale removal project in the basement of Murdaugh Hall covering 8,000 sqaure feet. Liggins expects the project to be completed by October.

solve questionable ties with the foundation, Doyle said. The OSBI investigation concerns allegations of state money earmarked for CSU being diverted into the foundation's private account, Renfrow said. The state auditor and inspector's investigation deals mainly with CSU's payment for asbestos removal in the summer of 1986 and the separation of CSU from the CSU Foundation, Doyle said. Also, the follow-up will determine if CSU is complying with the audit recommendations. "We feel that we've met both the letter and spirit of what the

state auditor and inspectors office recommended to us," CSU President Bill Lillard said. "The real questions had to do with the CSU Foundation and funds, and secondly with the maintenance department," Lillard said. Another OSBI investigation resulting from the audit is that of Nimrod Chapel, former director of the CSU Physical Plant, for possible fraud, Renfrow said. A spokesman for the attorney general's office said no comment can be made regarding the possibility of criminal charges being filed until the OSBI presents its finding to the attorney general.
