Wantland Stadium too small, officials say
Fireworks move pondered By Valli Covert
Student Writer No more fireworks at Central State University? The annual Edmond Fourth of July Festival may be moved to a new location due to size constraints, according to David Van Nostrand, president of Edmond Fourth of July Festivals. "We are taking a look at it (Wantland Stadium), to see if we're going to have to do something different because of traffic and fire problems," said Van Nostrand.

Child center accredited
I
By Linda Day Student Writer The Child Study Center in the Home Economics Department at Central State University has received accreditation by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs, according to Dr. Kaye D. Sears, professor of child and family development. "The goal of the academy is to evaluate the quality of the pro-
gram for the purpose of accrediting those early childhood programs that are of high quality," said Sears. "The process involved a self study sent to the academy as a written program description. After their evaluation of the written report, an on-site visit was made in May, and the approval for accreditation came the middle of June," said Sears.
"We have just outgrown the location. We have talked about moving for years," he said. "Proposals to hold the festivities at Arcadia Lake have not been acted on because Arcadia Lake has only three entrances and is bordered by major highways. Both of these problems could attribute to a high accident rate," said Van Nostrand, who added that there has also been a proposal to hold the fireworks at remote locations. "We would like more people to be able to see the fireworks display, but Wantland Stadium was filled to capacity and people were standing outside in order to
view the festivities. According to Joyce Mounce, vice president of administration, CSU has supplied security and maintenance at no cost to the city in the past. "It is an extensive enterprise and we can not continue to do it without charging some money," said Mounce, who did not have a definite estimate available at the time. "CSU offers the largest facility," said academic advisor Bob Austin who acts as liaison bet-
ween the citizens committee and CSU. "Over the past couple of
years, alternate places have been mentioned, but there are no other facilities available." "CSU spends many hours getting ready for the festivities and expends thousands of dollars for security, maintenance, traffic control and setting up for the festivities," Austin said. Van Nostrand said the planning committee has not started work on next years' festivities, but are searching for a different site.
Regents to set tuition rates The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education will set fees and tuition rates for Oklahoma colleges at a July 18 meeting at the State Capitol Complex. The rates will go into effect fall semester. There has been some forewarning of rate increases as far back as January, said Ruth Ann Dryer, administative assistant to the chancellor. We had a hearing then and only about six or seven students showed up to voice opinion on the increase. It is not yet officially known if
tuition will increase at Oklahoma colleges. Allocation of funds to institutions will be decided at a July 27 meeting of the regents, she said. "We are not at the point to make any public announcements," Sharon Martin, Central State University director of budget, said when asked if professors will be getting a pay raise this fall. "We have to wait to see how much money we will be allocated." Budgets of higher education institutions will be approved by the regents August 29, Dryer said.
Feds cry foul over death of protected birds Federal charges may yet be filed against Central State University and a contractor who felled a tree that housed a family of federally- protected King birds, wildlife officials said this week. An investigation is being conducted by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service into possible violations of federal law by CSU and Big Tree Transplanting, Inc. of Oklahoma City by removing the tree before checking to see if protected wildlife lived there, said senior resident wildlife agent Tom McKay. "We will do a complete investigation into the matter and present the findings to the U.S. attorney general," said McKay. "He will decide whether to prosecute. We will talk to the people involved." "It is a violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to disturb or take feathers, dead birds, nests, or bird parts," McKay said. If a feather is picked up off the ground, that is a violation of federal law. The dying tree, which was located by the Business Building, was removed June 30 to make way for a sidewalk, said Nimrod Chapel, director of the university's physical plant.
As the tree was being removed, three baby birds fell about 20 feet to the pavement. One died about 15 minutes later; another died during the night. According to McKay, a special permit is required to relocate birds and nests. That permit is available from the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service.
who is registered with the service to care for migratory birds that have been injured, is caring for the single surviving bird. Black was contacted by CSU students who witnessed the incident.
"The bird is approximately 10 days old," Black said. "He should be fine once he gets some food in him. He will eat softened dog food until he gets older, then will eat a special ground beef."
Only English sparrows, starlings, pigeons, quail, pheasant, parrots and parakeets are not protected by federal law, although state law does protect some of these types of birds, McKay said.
"Most people have more to worry about than a bird or two falling out of a nest," said Mike Rosser of Big Tree Transplanting, Inc., which was contracted by the university to remove the tree. "If it was a whole species, that would be different." Rosser said he was not aware of the federal law and that he did not have time to look in trees to see if wildlife lived there. Chapel said he was contacted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service but had not yet talked to them about the incident. "Once I see the law, I will know what it is. It is impossible to stay abreast of the law; there are so many of them." "No one took it into consideration," Chapel said when asked about the birds. "Since we are aware of it, we will take it into consideration." Liz Black, of Oklahoma City,

Viewpoints Facts surrounding Iranian jetliner shooting suspicious
U.S. captain had sufficient reasons to fire By Monica Kremeier
Editor Confusion and controversy surround the facts concerning the downing of a Iran Air jetliner in the Persian Gulf by a U.S. Navy cruiser, the Vincennes. The incident came during the second of two days of gulf skirmishes between Iran and the United States, and according to Adm. William Crowe, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, after U.S. forces in the region had been warned of unspecified "indications" that Iranians were planning to "carry out attacks against our forces over the July Fourth holiday period."
Editorial According to the Pentagon, Capt. Will C. Rogers III, commander of the Vincennes, acted in self-defense and had sufficient reason to fire on the passenger plane, Flight 655, because it had ignored repeated warnings to identify itself. The Islamic Republic News Agency, Iran's official press agency, reported that the jetliner was on a routine 150 mile flight between Bandar Abbas and Dubai, across the gulf to the United Arab Emirates. Iranian television has announced that 110 bodies have been

recovered and that victims included 66 children, 52 women and 16 crew members. Crowe defended Roger's actions, citing that he acted properly based on the plane's failure to respond to seven radio warnings over military and civilian channels to vary its course or to identify itself, its presence outside commercial air lanes, and its threatening lowlevel, high-speed approach toward the Navy ship, all signs of a warplane preparing to launch a missile.
"Why was there not a stitch of cloth found in the area where most of the bodies were recovered?" and "Why did the jetliner fail to respond to seven warnings (which were done in English and Iranian over military and civilian channels)?" and "Why did an Iranian F-14 just happen to be in the region after the shooting?" Also, "Why was the airliner making an unschedule flight outside commercial air lanes?" and "Why was it flying an attack pro-

file toward the Vincennes?" Too many questions. It is possible, and has already been speculated, that this whole incident, for which President Reagan has extended his "deepest regrets," was planned by the Iranians. Perhaps these martyrdomseeking people put Iranian prisoners on board the jetliner, and used the plane to camouflage an Iranian F-14 flying underneath it. It would explain the mixed commercial and military signals. As religiously fanatical as the
Iranians have proven to be in the past, it is quite possible that this was planned. It would be perfect. Even if their plan failed, they would still have the eyes of the world watching them, the hearts of many sympathizing with them, and more publicity for their cause. The loss of life in the Persian Gulf is saddening, but our armed forces have the right to defend themselves. There were 395 Americans aboard the Vincennes.
THE SET-LIP: FUEL MORE ANTI- AMERICANISM IN THE GULF REGION.
A few minutes after the airliner was shot down, U.S. forces detected an Iranian F-14 in the region. Crowe said no U.S. planes were in the area. Upon reviewing the events surrounding the incident, it is rather obvious that the commander of the Vincennes acted in the best interests of his men, his ship and the United States. There are also certain questions that come to mind, such as "Why have all the bodies recovered been completely unclothed (even in major air disasters, there is always some type of clothing found on the body, even if it is nothing more than a mere particle)?" and

Photo ra her is a necessary art of newsroom By Danette Intrieri
Student Writer University newspapers should provide an avenue for student journalists to receive hands-on experience. It is an invaluable tool for learning all aspects of newspapering.
Commentary On The Vista students do work in most of these capacities. All except one. Why are there no photographers on staff? A photojournalist is an essential part of any newspaper. Just as
it is important for editors to learn to work with reporters and others in a newsroom, it is equally important that a photographer learn to work on the team. The Vista did have a staff photographer three years ago. But then the budget was cut, leaving the newspaper without a photographer, according to Dr. Ray Tassin, chairman of the journalism department and administrative publisher of The Vista. Photographs seen in the newspaper are provided by volunteer photographers or from the university's photographic services department, which also provides photos for the communica-
tions/publications department, The Bronze Book and all other campus organizations. This arrangement does not provide the learning experience of interaction in a newsroom. One advantage of having a staff photographer is the availability of spot news photos. The photographic service department usually needs some advance notice for photographs, said Monica Kremeier, The Vista's editor. The Vista staff is doing a good job with the budget they have been given to work with. But more of an effort by the administration needs to be made to correct the situation of ghost photographer.
Possibly one of the associate editor positions could be combined with photography. Another suggestion, made by The Vista director Mark Hanebutt involves requiring photography students to work on the paper. Whatever is decided, the fact remains that The Vista is lacking as a complete newspaper experience. A staff photographer is not a luxury but a necessity to any newsroom. Editor's note: Dr. Woody Caddis, Lu Hollander, and Mark Hanebutt of the journalism department have worked out a plan to supply photography students to The Vista and The Bronze Book this fall.
Nazi poster is nothing more than a resemblance By Mike White
Student Writer Two posters resembled each other. One depicted a smiling Nazi youth holding a billowing Nazi flag. The other showed a
Opinion smiling American holding a billowing American flag. The poses and expressions were exactly the same. The costumes differed - so did
the intent. Nowadays, nobody seems to like either one. Fleming Foods in Oklahoma City paid to have an advertisement designed for them. The cornpany received the advertisement and used it, but only for a little while. Someone pointed out the similarity between it and a Nazi youth poster, more than 40 years old. Aside from the amazing coincidence or gross ethical misconduct associated with this event, something more important than either must be examined.
Should Fleming Foods be willing to drop the advertisement they paid for, solely because it resembles a poster that is associated with a particularly evil human episode of past history? Sure, the Nazis did a lot of bad things which no one should forget, but their leader, Adolf Hitler, was at the very least partially responsible for the development of the Volkswagen. People do not froth at the mouth and junk their VW's simply because Hitler had a hand in their development. Nor should
they be so ready to browbeat the Fleming Foods advertisement because it looks like an older poster. The similarities of the different posters should instead be taken for what they are. Everyone is capable of committing great atrocities, no matter who they are, but no one should let the past encourage them to commit further atrocities such as eagerly banning, removing, killing or otherwise getting rid of that which bears a resemblance - and nothing more to vestiges of the past.

CSU student wins golden poet award By Annie John Associate Editor Gilbert DeSilva, a Central State University junior majoring in computer science, has won the Golden Poet Award for 1988 for his poem "Everything Is Going Away." DeSilva was elected by the World of Poetry's Board of Directors for his entry in the Free Poetry Contest. He will be presented with the award at the Fourth Annual Poetry Convention on August 27 at the Anaheim Hilton in Anaheim, Calif. during the Golden Poet Roundrobin and Awards Presentation. The Artists Embassy International Television will be there to televise the event. Along with the award presentation, DeSilva has been requested to choose one of his best poems for the Convention Poetry Contest where the first ten prize winners will receive $1,000. One Grand Prize winner will be chosen from the ten winners and will receive a grand total of $15,000. "The Golden Poet Award is to poets what the Academy Award is to actors," said Eddie-Lou Cole, poetry editor of "The Golden Treasury of Great Poems." "It is the highest honor World of Poetry ever bestows on a poet." Cole has also requested permission to publish DeSilva's poem in the book "The Golden Treasury of Great Poems."
"I just sent my poem for the sake of interest," said DeSilva. "The advertisement came out in The Vista in December and since I had a couple of pieces of poetry, I decided to enter one of them. I have always been interested in the arts." DeSilva is a Malaysian Indian who completed his basic education in Singapore. He received his higher education in civil engineering at the National University of Singapore and came to CSU in the summer of 1986. "I have represented CSU for poetry and debate and had training in poetry recitation, but apart from that, I have had no formal training in writing," said DeSilva. DeSilva also competed in debate and oratorical competitions at Assumption English School, Singapore, and Catholic Junior College, Singapore.

Farmwife's flags used in July 4th parade By Linda Welcher Student Writer Central State University's international students were able to show their country's colors in the Edmond Fourth of July parade this year because of the work of a Bradley, Okla. farmwife. Marian Cunningham had handmade 192, 3 ft. by 5 ft. flags for CSU's International Students office. Now she says she plans to do a few more. "It's turned into a bigger project than I first thought," she said. "But anything worth doing is worth putting special effort into." She said the work put into each flag varies. There is always the research which is done with encyclopedias and books from the library, and the trips to town to find just the right colors of cottondacron material. The time put into sewing the flag varies depending upon how simple or complicated the pattern is. "The ones with just the strips of color, like France and Hungary, go together in no time. It's when they have the figures such as falcons or dragons on them that it gets complicated," she said. Albania's flag, with its twoheaded figure is the most complicated flag she said she has made. It took 12 hours just to put it together. Cunningham claims she is not an artist, so her daughter helps out by drawing the patterns.
Cunningham first started making flags for her church for the Foreign Emphasis Missions program. Dr. Ron Paddack, international student advisor for CSU, heard of her work and asked if she would make flags for the international students organization. Kay Cain, community coordinator for the international student advisors office, said "It's been a dream of Dr. Paddocks for many years to have a full set of flags for the university." The Missionary Baptist Church, the International Students office and the Community Response to International Students Program,(CRISP) donated money to help fund the
project, said Cain. She said Cunningham has taken the project as a personal challenge. "If you name a country she can describe the flag. She has traveled the world over through her reading. "The flags are quite a spectacle when you get them flying all at once," said Cain. The flags were all flown at International Entertainment night on campus last fall. At that time, former Oklahoma Governor George Nigh thanked Cunningham for making the flags, Cain said. Besides being used at all of the international events, Cunningham
said the flags are sometimes loaned to other towns for their events and to Baptist missions groups. Between uses, the flags are stored in a donated architect's file to prevent fading. "I'm not much for travel," said Cunningham. "So I've enjoyed working on the flags because it has broadened my knowledge, and I've learned so much about other countries." She met the students at International Night and said she was pleased to see how enthused they were about her work. "These people were so proud to be carrying the flags," she said. "I love to sew something special."

City symphony closing may benefit orchestra By Becky Weigand Student Writer
The year-long strike and recent disbandment of the Oklahoma Symphony Orchestra may have some repercussions on Central State University's Community Symphony Orchestra. Dr. Roger Strong, associate professor of music and director of the orchestra, played with the Oklahoma Symphony Orchestra for seven years as a first violinist. Also, Densi Rushing, a graduate student violinist, and several parttime faculty members have been playing with the orchestra. "Actually, our audiences will probably increase — at least I hope so," said Strong. "More people that used to go to the Oklahoma Symphony Orchestra will probably now come to hear us." The depressed economy was probably the main cause of the strike, according to Strong. Living expenses continued to rise
while the orchestra's wages didn't. Those performers with no other job couldn't support themselves. "I know a lot of the people involved personally and I feel badly for them, but I understand both sides — the performers' and the administration's. I'm kind of caught in between," said Strong. "I would imagine there will be some reorganization eventually, or another one started," said Strong. "There needs to be a professional orchestra in this area." Strong said he is very optimistic about the coming fall semester. "We're getting several really talented freshmen in - more freshmen than ever before," he said. Also, KCSU-2 is taping the orchestra more often, and the Edmond Arts and Humanities Council will be carrying information about it in their monthly brochure, according to Strong.

Dental tips discussed at health workshop By Larry Floyd Student Writer
Forty-five elementary education majors last week attended a dental health education workshop on campus designed to prepare elementary teachers to teach dental education. "Coping with Fear of Dentists" and "The Effects of Nutrition on Dental Health" were among the workshop lectures held in the Health & Physical Education Building, said Dr. Homer Coker, health and physical education chairperson. Coker was the opening speaker at the workshop and the instructor of record. The lectures, arranged by the dental foundation, were given by speakers from the fields of health and government. Attendants of the workshop received one hour of graduate or undergraduate health credit. The workshop will be repeated next June and may move to the Health Sciences Building to accommodate more participants.
Masson, will teach two new courses: playwriting and screenwriting, said Dr. Christopher F. Givan, chairman of the creative studies department. Playwriting will be taught from 7:30 to 10:10 p.m. Monday nights, and screenwriting will be taught at the same time Tuesday nights. "Both classes are geared for beginners," said Givan. "The classes will probably be limited to 25 students each. Interested students should enroll as soon as possible." Two of the artists, Burgess and Mason, were recommended to the creative studies department by former CSU artist-in-residence John Bishop, of the Circle Reperatory Theater. "We wanted to maintain a connection with the Circle Reperatory," said Givan. "It is one of the best theater companies off Broadway." Burgess, who is visiting CSU for his third year, not only belongs to the Circle Reperatory Theater, but is also a member of the Dramatics Guild and numerous other musical theater workshops. His past works include "The Freaks," "Dusty Sally," "Paul Revere Rides Again," and "Winnie-the-Pooh." Masson is also a member of the Circle Reperatory Theater. He has had such plays published as "Only You," "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," "Kidnapped in London," and "Robin Hood." The third artist, Cahill brings with her past experiences as both a screenwriter and a Harvard instructor Her past works include "Pitche '," "Slumber Party," and the adio play, "Werner and the Magic Boots." "We did not originally go out looking for a woman, but I think that it's a plus for a successful woman to be a part of our program," said Givan. "I think she will provide a positive role model for the large number of women enrolled in our courses."

The three hour auction, which was held at the physical plant, raised over $5,000 which will be returned to the CSU general fund, said Ronald R. Mattingly, director of purchasing.
"A myriad of items were auctioned off," said Mattingly. Office supplies, furniture, air filters, incondescent lighting, surplus doors, lawn equipment and typewriters were among the items liquidated, he said. Bids were taken to choose an auctioneer, and Dub Venable, an independant caller from Anadarko, was chosen since he submitted the lowest bid, said Mattingly.
The items sold were brought to the physical plant by various departments. "This is the first auction that we've had in two years," Mattingly said. "We were beginning to run out of space." Mattingly said that representatives from individual departments are welcome to stop by the physical plant and look through their inventory for any items they might be able to use.
Hotline offers campus information A "hotline" number for anyone wanting information about events at Central State University is now in service. "Students, friends of the university, faculty, and staff need to get information about when things are going on," said Mitchell Hall Manager Jim Poe, who manages the service. "A lot of this type of information never gets to students."
The hotline was established early in June, and was suggested to Poe by Joyce Mounce, vice president for administration. "I glean the information from a lot of sources, such as departmental publications, schedules and the student newspaper," said Poe. "Some comes from the University Center, some from the sports area. Anyone who has something
to contribute can send it to me at University Productions, Box 173." Some of the facts on the 24-hour recording are: fine arts information, sports, meetings, art shows, events, lectures, enrollment information, commencement information, changes in the hours at the library and more. The number to call is 348-2225.
International totals down By Garnetta Burris Student Writer
Central State University's international student enrollment has decreased this summer. "There are over 5,845 students enrolled for the '88 summer term, and the international students make up 7.7 percent of the enrollment," said Assistant Director of
Admissions and Records Suzanne Martin. International Student Advisor Dr. Ronald Paddack said this summer's enrollment figures show a 16.8 percent decrease compared to summer 1987. There were 541 students last year, and this summer there are 450 students. "I want Oklahoma students to be exposed to the variety of the
world. I have broadened the geographic base by bringing students from all parts of the world. We're looking for quality not quantity in our international students," said Paddack. An employee of the international student office said the decrease is probably due to the increase in tuition.

Camp draws 1 75 cheerleaders By Rhonda Shalaby Sports Editor
One hundred seventy-five high school and junior high school Oklahoma cheerleaders were taught cheers, crowd motivation, proper conditioning for cheerleaders and pom pon routines during a four-day cheer camp held at Central State University last week. The camp was sponsored by Universal Cheerleaders Association. The instructional staff consisted of four women and two men who were either current or former college cheerleaders. The staff organizer was Twauna Finner, a former three-year University of Houston cheerleader. The cheerleaders practiced from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. with one lunch and one dinner break. The camp cost each participant 5118, according to Robert Tisdale, vice president of UCA. Clockwise from top right: Amy Guffy from Burlington High School takes a rest while Twauna Finner, staff organizer, encourages the cheerleaders (below right).

CSU student to boardsail river By Rhonda Shalaby
Sports Editor Stephen Brown, a Central State University English major, will leave Oklahoma on July 15 for a three-week boardsailing trip on the Hood River in Oregan. Boardsailing, sometimes referred to as wind surfing, "combines features and thrills of many other sports such as skiing, sailboating and motorcycling," said Bruce Robertson, president of the Central Oklahoma Boarsailing Club. Boardsailing involves ,both professionals and amateurs, and is currently growing in popularity all over the world as well as in Oklahoma, according to Robertson. About 100 sailors constitute the Central Oklahoma Boardsailing Club. The club has been active since May. Brown said he has dreamed about becoming a professional boardsailor but that he is not that motivated for competition. "I prefer sailing more than competing. Competing can get too aggressive. It is not usually the ideal situation," he said. "I don't mind competing, but I
don't actively seek out competitions." The 29-year-old boardsailor has been practicing the sport for the past four-and-a-half years.
Boardsailing "combines features and thrills of many other sports such as skiing, sailboating and motorcycling." "I surfed when I was living in California, and when I moved back here to Oklahoma, a girlfriend talked me into taking boardsailing lessons with her. I became addicted to it, and now I'm out there every minute that I can be." The objective of the sport is to have fun, and "sailing fast and efficiently is basically the goal."
Boardsailing is like any other sport, Brown said, it requires a mental detachment to perform well. There aree three major boardsailing races are held in Oklahoma annually. They are located in Lake Keystone, Lake Hefner and Lake Thunderbird. "Lake Hefner is probably one of the best places in Oklahoma to boardsail because the wind blows almost consistenly more than fifteen miles an hour." Men compromise a greater number of "boardheads," those with a fanatical devotion to boardsailing, than women. Boardheads range from 12 to 65 years of age, Brown said. Hood River and Maui, Hawaii are probably the headquarters for boardsailing, Brown said, because of the consistency of the waves and the wind. "I'm going to Hood river to sail and maybe watch some of the best boardsailors in the world." Utilizing the same principles as sailboating, boardsailing equipment consists of a sail, including a rigging, mast, and booms which are attached to a board which the sailor stands upon. The sail can be rotated 360 degrees and the entire outfit is known as a "free sail system." On the water, the sailor manipulates the sail to regulate speed and direction.
Enter The Daily Oklahoman's
Although boardsailing may be thought of as a summer sport, several boardheads sail all year around. "Some of the best weather fronts come through .Oklahoma in December, January and February."

Muse granted sabbatical leave to teach in England By Peggy Collett Student Writer "I'm getting the chance of a lifetime," is the way Dr. Judy Muse expressed her feelings about her upcoming trip to England. Muse, an accounting professor at Central State University, has been granted a sabbatical leave and is going to Hertsfordshire, England, a suburb of London, for a year to teach accounting at the United States International University-Europe. The university's home base is in San Diego
but it also has branches in Mexico City and Nairobi, Kenya as well as England. Muse, who is traveling with her husband, will also be teaching a graduate decision-making course in the MBA program in accounting. She will have to travel by train to downtown London where the graduate branch of the university is located. Having been to London a few times before greatly affected her decision to pick the city, she said. The fact that it was an English-

speaking country and she and her husband have several friends there also helped. Besides teaching, Muse said she hopes to do some research into the development of accounting standards in England and compare them to how they were developed in the United States. She said she would also like to find out the social implications related to their development. When asked how she felt about the trip, Muse quickly responded, "I'm excited." She has been teaching full-time since 1971, and "I feel like I need a new look at education and a new perspective." Muse went to London during spring break for her interview and was offered the job May 20. She will be staying in England for an entire year and will return in time to start teaching classes in the fall of 1989. While in England, the university is providing food and housing for her and her husband, though she said she wants to spend part of her time touring Europe. Muse said she had to go through a long process to get approval for sabbatical leave. Her trip was approved in June by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges. She is now waiting on her work permit and has set a tentative departure date of August 1. "I'm looking forward to it," she said. "It is a dream come true.
