Enrollment unaffected by tuition hike By Susan Green Editor

Although it's too early to tally all the enrollment figures, it is already evident that the raised tuition fees did not affect Central State's enrollment. "I'm afraid enrollment is going to hit another record," Dr. Darrell Gilliland, director of counseling said. "Contrary to predictions, the percentage of dollars is still less than other four year schools." Gilliland said he feels the reason the enrollment figures have not gone down is, due to the economy, people still want to go to school because they are looking

for training to start new careers end extend their capabilities. "We have had more transfer students than ever before from the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University and universities from out of state," Gilliland said. Jo Anne Berger, a transfer student from New Jersey said, "Even with the tuition increase, CSU is still cheaper than what I paid at the state school there." However, some students are continuing to have their tuition deferred to ease the tuition cost. Nick Widener, comptroller for the university said a student is required to pay 50 percent of their tuition, with the balance to be paid as soon as the student can.

"Most of the students who ask for their tuition to be deferred, are on financial aid that hasn't cleared. There is no doubt we won't be paid. In some cases, students not on finacial aid who need help paying their tuiton may defer. We do everything we can to help students out," Widener said. Students who have previous balances would be denied deferment, he said. The tuition increase was aproved by the State Board of Regents for Higher Education on July 10, to go into affect at the beginning of the fall semester. Since 1984, this is the third time the tuition has been raised. Lower division students, freshmen and sophomores are

paying $3.50 more an hour, raising the tuition from $16.85 to $20.35 a credit hour. Upper division students, juniors and seniors are paying $5.25 an hour more, raising their tuition from $18.30 a credit hour to $23.55. Non-resident students are paying even more. Lower division students are paying an additional $7.70 a credit hour, upper division students are paying $11.50 more and graduate students are paying $15.40 more for their tuition. "I feel it's ridiculous. People can't afford to go to school and some can't get loans or grants," Senior Charmane Davis said. "I think it's getting out of hand. Tuiton has gone up ever

since I have been in college. I feel sorry for the freshman," Senior Barry Anderson said. Freshman Armeshia Warrior said she felt the increase was a problem and that it was already high to start with. Warrior said she is on financial aid and was cut short on her book allowance because of the tuition increase. "I have a problem with the tuition increase. I have to pay three times as much as a resident student. I have to pay taxes at home and here. Its not worth it. Even if tuition was 5 percent lower, it would be nice," Mike, an International freshman who would not give his last name, said. The official enrollment count will be released at a later date.

Supplemental loan offsets fee increase With the tuition increase, student's costs may be eased by an additional loan program, created by the 1987 Oklahoma State Legislature. In the Aug. 8 edition of The Daily Oklahoman, it was estimated in an article that 3,000 to 5,000 Oklahoma college students will borrow $7 to $10 million from the program, the Supplemental Student Loan (SSL). Dr. E.T. Dunlap, former chancellor of higher education said the program is mainly for students who are not eligible for the Gauranteed Student Loan (GSL) program. This is due to changes made by Congress, which enables some students to be ineligilbe for the GSL. There is no income limit for the SSL. Executive director of the Oklahoma Student Loan Association said athough students can borrow between $7 and $10 million, the maximum loan for individuals ranges from $4,000 to $20,000 a year. Students enrolled in post-secondary education and certain technical schools who are ineligible for the GSL, may obtain an SSL loan, Dunlap said. Another loan was passed by Congress, which aids students in healthrelated education, which includes medical, pharmacy, dental and nursing students. The Heath Education Assistance Loan will be made on a different basis than the SSL. Applications for the new loan programs are available from the financial aid office at approved institutions. Sherri Hancock, director of the Student Financial Aid Office, was unavailable for comment.

City mayor returns to teaching By Susan Green Editor

"I wouldn't have been late if Edmond would fix their roads," Edmond Mayor Carl Reherman said as he walked into his second office, now lbcated in the Liberal Arts building. Reherman, who is now on faculty as a professor of Political Science, has rekindled his teaching profession after being away from it for six years. Previous to the fall term, Reherman held the position of Assistant to the President, under Dr. Bill Lillard, president of CSU, in addition to his responsbilities as the mayor of Edmond. "I wanted to have the experience to once again, be with students and go through the preparation for teaching a class. I missed the give and take in the

classroom," Reherman said. "I've missed it. From time to time, I've lectured to other people, but being a teacher allows me to challenge students intellectually and give them the challenge to grow. Its exciting." Before Reherman's position as Assistant to the President, he taught for twelve years as a politcal science professor. Reherman said he still has the same office as before and a sign that he made was still on his door. Reherman quit teaching before to take on a new challenge. "Life is a series of challenges. I had the opportunity to take on a new portion of my career. As Assistant to the President, I worked with Regents, budget prepartion, legislation, students and faculty. I'm hoping I made a contribution at that time to improve

the credibility of the institution," he said. Reherman had a commitment from Lillard to allow him to return to teaching when he was ready. He kept his tenure in political science and said his time as assistant was temporary and was ready to return to the classroom. The classes Reherman are teaching are two introductory classes of American National Government, an advanced class of Urban Politics and an advanced seminar-type class entitled, Politics and Economic Development. Reherman said this was a class he developed because he felt there was misinformation on term economic development. In comparing the two professions, Reherman feels teaching and being the mayor are alike in the sense that, being a mayor that

tries to do the type of service and develop a relationship with the community that he feels he has, is like developing the knowledge and expressing knowledge in a way people understand in a classroom. At the end of both, he said he can see his established goal. Reherman feels his experience as major will reflect in the classroom and that political science majors will benefit from it. If he had to choose which he enjoyed best, he said it would be like choosing which of his children he loved best. "I enjoy them both. I have the opportunity to help people and be of service to and be part of two areas that are growing. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to do both. Very few have this opportunity in a lifetime," Reherman said.

Editor I have attended college for four years and I have finally reached the semester I will graduate. However, I feel cheated because I have to wait until May to walk through graduation ceremonies.

This makes no sense to me whatsoever. There is a summer graduation for summer graduates, in addition to the usual spring graduation but, what about us Dec. grads? Are we not worthy of a ceremony.? I have heard other students complain about this and I feel there is a need to schedule a graduation at this time. One of the reasons that students want this is because many may not be around in May to go through ceremony. It is the goal of most to find a job after graduation. If this takes them out of state, it may be impossible for them to come to the university for this event. I would like to attend my graduation, because I will have gone to school for four and a half years. The ceremony to me, is the finishing touch. Sure I will receive my diploma in the mail, but its like high school, you get a feeling of accomplishment when you walk across the stage at graduation. However I don't know where I will be in May 1988. If I could go through graduation in December, I wouldn't have any worries or be dissapointed. So how about it? Let us December graduates have the ceremony we've worked for and deserve.

Never wave the bridle hand By J. Money

Associate Editor Never wave with the bridle hand. That remark was made during a class this summer as a joke, after reading an editorial by William Allen White. The editorial was written the day after the funeral of his daughter, who made the mistake of waving with her bridle hand while riding her horse. When she waved with that hand, the horse veered and caused White's daughter to strike her head on a low hanging branch of a tree. In a sense, her bridle hand controlled her destiny. When she let it stray from what it was supposed to be doing, it caused a catastrophic event. Everyone has a bridle hand, even if they have never ridden a horse. The hand is controlled by a person's deepest dreams, ideals and goals. And, now and then, everyone's bridle hand strays from time to time. Even my bridle hand strayed once. Before I was able to get things back under control, I found myself halfway

around the world on a floating steel island. Other friends I have known over the years have also let their bridle hands stray as well. Some have ended up in jail, others have ended up worse. The bridle hand can steer a course for anyone who will let it. All they have to do is just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. Well, not quite. Here's how to get the bridle hand to do what you want. First set an ultimate medium range goal, say, one you wish to obtain in seven years time or less. Second, establish several short range goals to obtain in less than three years time. Now once you have established those two priorities, find the tenacity to tackle the short range goals. Here's what I found out. Once the short range goals were waxed, I set more short range goals. Once they were waxed, I'd do it again. Over and over again, I have set my short range goals, directed my bridle hand toward those goals, finished them and moved on.

Before I knew what was happening, I was well on my way toward ac-

complishing my medium range goal. My bridle hand is working well. But bridle hands don't work well if just medium or long range goals are set. Hitler was not beaten by the British and Americans by just saying they were going to defeat him. First, they went to North Africa, then to Italy and finally on to Europe. They set a number of short range goals, carried them out and in the process accomplished the long range one. They use a strong bridle hand. Those with strong bridle hands get many things accomplished during their lives. Those with weak bridle hands often find themselves setting long range goals, but not even trying to work toward them. These types of people are commonly known as procrastinators. If you think I'm joking about all this, I'm not. Just ask any one who has accomplished a lot during his lifetime, he'll tell you the same thing I am. Never wave with the bridle hand.

Fall grad wants mid-year ceremony To the editor: I believe graduation services for

December graduates should be held in December! Central State holds only two commencement ceremonies a year, spring and summer. I, just as hundreds of others, will finish my studies in December and will not be around in May to go through the ceremonies. Graduation is a very important milestone and it is a special event for both the student and his/her family. The ceremony represents the conclu-

sion of one era of life into the realm of another. Why should we be deprived of graduation simply because it is cold outside? I know that arrangements must be made every spring and summer in case of rain. Why can't this be regular policy in December? The complaint has been made that the spring ceremony is too long. Don't you think it would cut the ceremony in half if the December graduates could

graduate in December? If something is going to be done about this then we, the students, are going to have to let our voices be heard! We must stop being passive and paying the $25 fee to graduate if we indeed are not going to graduate in an official ceremony! This seems the only resolution until the time comes when there will be graduation services held in December. Robi Parker

Crash survivor, doll reunited

The lone survivor of the nation's second worst air disaster was reunited with her doll Monday as she continues to recover from skin graft operations she received last week. The survivor, four-year-old Cecilia Cichan, was one of the 157 people on board Northwest Flight 255, which crashed shortly after taking off from Detroit Metropolitan Airport Aug. 16. Hospital Spokeswoman Toni Shears said Cichan has been spending more time awake and talking. She added it would still be a few more days before doctors could evaluate how well the skin graft surgeries worked. Cichan underwent the surgeries on her hands and arms, which were burned in last week's crash. Shears also said that Cichan has been told that her parents and brother died in the crash, but did not offer who told the girl or how the girl reacted to the news. Investigators are currently trying to determine if a cockpit alarm system had been disconnected on the flight.

Bring God into class

To the editor: It is safe to say that religion is not a common topic in most classrooms on this campus — Heavens no! It is almost as taboo as politics, except that most people would agree politically in 011ie North as opposed to Gary Hart. In classrooms where information overload is unthinkable,

religion is one topic in which there is no room. This is particularly true in the communication or journalism departments. Whether it is dealing with interpersonal relations or history leading to current events, the Bible, God's written word, is too old-fashion for such contemporaries. For instance, in Editorial

Bellmon urges spending spree An expected $70 million windfall for the state has prompted Gov. Henry Bellmon to announce the possibility of a special session this fall to spend the funds before they could be used for supporting programs for the next fiscal year. Bellmon said the special session would be a good idea because it would give the state capitol improvements. Bellmon said if the funds were used for that purpose the state would avoid possibly finding itself in a revenue failing situation the following year. Bellmon said the state would find itself in a $70 million shortfall if the legislature appropriated that money for ongoing programs because the money would not be there the following year to keep the level of spending up. Earlier this year Bellmon and legislative leaders had considered calling for a special election to get a tax established for the capitol improvements. However, the Senate President Pro Tempore said he thought spending the funds now, which will come from an out of court settlement between the state and insurance companies, would be a mistake. The money the state will get is part of the premium taxes paid under protest by companies challenging the method of taxing which the state used.

Guns recalled after malfunction After nearly 50 complaints, the latest from an Oklahoma City police officer, Smith & Wesson has decided to recall more than 600,000 .357-caliber Magnums. Smith & Wesson Vice President Robert Hass said Tuesday that more than 110,000 of the guns are used by police officers nation wide. Hass said the guns have trigger difficulties when used with recently developed high-pressure .357 rounds. Oklahoma City police officer Dana Mitchell encountered problems with his Smith & Wesson .357 last July 22 while trying to apprehend a bank robbery suspect. Mitchell said he had to pull extremly hard on the trigger to get the gun to fire two shots, and then said the gun froze up on him completely. He added that he bluffed the suspect into beleiving the gun still worked by cocking the hammer and aiming the gun as if it still worked, but added the situation could have cost him his life. Mitchell said his complaint about the gun, one of the most-used among police officers, prompted the recall.

City employee suspended Charles Pfeiffer, special projects administrator, has been suspended, with pay, pending investigation of his activities while overseeing the construction of Arcadia Lake. Pfeiffer was in charge of the lake's construction until Larry Richardson was hired as lake manager in 1986. Acting City Manager Patsy Sandefur said the investigation will look into financial as well as other activities Pfieffer was involved in during that time.

Writing, where the writer has to be on the crest of every issue to have a viable opinion, the Bible is considered too lofty of an issue for today's world. This is typified by an exersion of one journalism instructor who used a nude centerfold to illustrate an issue in the classroom. Later the same instructor made reference to the crucifiction and pulled up every guard so as not to offend anyone. Many history textbooks omit references to Christianity as having any influence on the shaping of this nation or of the world. Heaven forbid. Many of today's college students are so liberated and open-minded they have no tolerance to Christian philosophy. Is this an open mind or a narrow train of thought? Of course the safe excuse for keeping Christianity out of classrooms is the church and state albatross. The government has conveniently abused this issue by abolishing organized prayer in public schools. That mandate itself, crosses the boundaries so many buffer themselves behind. As some groups move to simply allow, not impose, prayer in public schools, the issue is attacked and even expelled. To say education has improved over the years is not justifiable for the shear fact that God has been removed from the classroom. The Bible accredits itself as no other text can do. The Bible says the word of God is living (Hebrews 4:12)...profitable for teaching, correction, reproof, and training in righteousness, (II Timothy 3:16). It is simply man's will to decide to live by it. Simple is the key word, and the word so often misused and misunderstood about Christianity. Thus tension builds as the topic, or even the name of Jesus, is mentioned. Of course, the devil shudders also at that name. Darwin could support his theory until he was blue, but it was still only a theory. Jesus proved his word was fact by rolling away the stone. Too much of classroom instruction is taken as gospel while the true gospel is banned from the schools. The Bible is 100 percent, cover to cover, fact. Its place in the classroom is imperative for progressive education. Its absence leaves a blank in the teacher's grade book. To achieve a degree at this institution means certain requirements must be met. To believe in the incarnate God and coming consumation takes faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God, (Romans 10:17). That takes a simple choice. This is no longer an issue of church and state, it's an issue of life. On Judgement Day the report cards will come out. There will be no incompletes, only pass...or fail. Scott Warren

Sometimes serious, sometimes whimsical, sometimes corny, "The Bunion" seeks to keep the CSU student on his toes, abreast of the issues underfoot. Whether personal problems, dating dilemmas, lovesick laments, or financial fiascos, in time the shoe will fit. This week we find Kevin Commuter and Frieda Freshman have hit campus. Anticipation flooding their veins as they are prepared for the exciting college life everyone has promised. Wednesday and still dateless, Frieda and Kevin are lonely and confused. No longer surrounded by the security of her high school chums and mother's cooking, Frieda contemplates dropping out of school and returing to Tiny Town and her job at the local five

and dime. Kevin questions the importance of a college degree and his manhood. But wait... There is hope. The following are some sure cures for combating the demon lonliness. 1. Call home collect - your mother is probably more miserable than you area 2. Quit smoking - then you'll have an excuse for your touchiness. 3. Take up hang gliding. With those unpredictable Oklahoma winds, lonliness would not be an issue for long. 4. Don't wait for someone to speak to you first. Make the first move. Most students are just as apprehensive as you are, with the exception of Andrea Extrovert who haunts the Communication building. 5. Try out for cheerleader. It doesn't matter if you think the

Student, Republican abortion views differ By J. Money Associate editor After following various Gallup Polls during the past few years, Dr. Thomas E. Guild, assistant professor of political science decided to run his own survey. The questions on the survey dealt with topics that the nation's political leaders seem to always debate about. The subjects of the survey, one thousand 1986 Republican activists in Oklahoma and several fall 1985 classes at CSU, answered questions dealing with abortion, pre-marital sex and homosexuality, among others. Guild said he did the survey to see if the Republican activists, five hundred of which responded, would poll similar to Gallup poles which asked the same questions, and also to compare the CSU stu-

dent's responses both to the activists and the polls. The results between the students and activists in most areas of the survey were similar, but they showed a more marked difference in some areas. This story deals with one of those areas, how the students and activists felt about abortion. "Many of the questions on the survey have several options of answers. Some respondents would pick more than one of the options available, some wouldn't answer the questions and many, especially the activists, would sometimes write something out to the side of a question, suggesting how to improve the question or where to find the answer," Guild said. Guild said that the media has portrayed Republicans to be more conservative in the area of abor-

tion than the general public, a point Guild said his survey shows is not necessarily true. "The activists ran about the same as the results I observed in previous Gallup Polls," Guild said. Guild did note a difference between the activists and students in several areas revolving around abortion, including attitudes, moral implications, welfare costs, federal law and rights of mothers. Student respondents, numbering 40.6 percent said they wondered if their positions on abortions were right, while only 25 percent of the activists admitted to having such thoughts. Over half the activists, 51 percent, said the moral tone of America would improve if abortions were made illegal under just about all circumstances, but only

28.5 percent of the students polled agreed. Only 60 percent of the activists who responded thought welfare costs would rise to support unwanted children if abortions were made illegal, but 85.9 percent of the students thought that would be the case. Forty three percent of the activists supported a constitutional ammendment prohibiting abortions, while only 25 percent of the students did so.

Finally, 56.1 percent of the students who responded said the statement "A woman should have the right to get an abortion during the first three months of pregnancy for any reason," came closest to expressing their opinions, while only 28 percent of the activists who responded agreed. Guild said the comments he sometimes found written next to the questions were more entertaining than the answers themselves.

NAIA transfer rule stifles NCAA debut

Nip Campus apathy, spur Edmond concern A few students recently ventured over to the bright blue Broncho tennis courts, racket and ball in hand, to expend a little energy. Much to the dismay of this energetic group of WeekendWimbledon-Warriors, all the tennis courts sported occupants. The students were outraged that these "occupants" were not CSU students, but rather Edmond residents capitalizing on a little CSU real estate and free electricity-the courts are lighted. It seems odd that the same company of students, the CSU variety, who complain about the residents of Edmond's lack of interest in CSU should complain when they actually do show up on campus, even if the next Broncho sporting event is about a month away. But their gripes are legitimate. Edmond seems to appreciate CSU more when they need a free tennis court than when it comes time to support a campus project or sporting event. Two solid solutions seem feasible. First, Edmond residents could be banned, or locked out of CSU facilities. If they don't care, why let them reap the benefits of a fine institution? But, in light of the fact that the school would be a much finer place if the people in the town around it actually cared, the second solution may be more appropriate. Provide Edmond residents with an opportunity to be more involved with CSU; offer them a CSU Community Involvement Card. Set it up along the lines of a CSU ID card. Families could apply for the card and plastic-coated official looking mug shots could be mass produced and distributed to those interested. Not only could CSU allow cardholders to use campus tennis courts, but they could offer discounts to musicals or any other CSU special event, discounts in the Redbud Room, a favorite feeding hole of many Edmondites, access to the Max Chambers Library, free or discounted entrance to sporting events, and the use of recreation facilities and equipment. Of course the card would be offered at a fee. Perhaps $50 a family or even more it they felt like kicking in a little extra. The university could put the money toward some student oriented project, a new parking lot for example. But before CSU students expend any more energy complaining about the lack of concern of Edmond residents, they could take a look at their own attitudes. Doesn't it say somewhere to pull the log out of your own eye before picking at the splinter in someone elses?

Sports editor The Broncho athletic program's NCAA debut will be delayed at least another year because CSU has not been in conformance with an NCAA transfer rule for the past two years, said Broncho athletic director John "Skip" Wagnon. Under the NCAA rule, all transfer students must sit out one academic year to become eligible for competition. The NAIA rule only requires transfers to complete one semester at their new school to be eligible to compete. "We accepted transfers in January of 1986 and allowed them to compete the fall of 1986," said Wagnon. "That's perfectly legal under NAIA rules. We didn't do anything wrong," Wagnon said. "In order to gain full membership in the NCAA we would have had to follow the NCAA rule for the past two years. But in January 1986, we weren't considering the NCAA move," Wagnon added. "When our membership was declined we had two options. The first is to complete the NCAA two year probation period, following NCAA rules. "The other option is to ask for a waiver of membership criteria from the NCAA membership committee," Wagnon said. "In January I'm going to the NCAA convention to formally request that waiver. We have no

reason to believe that the request will be denied. The NCAA has in the past approved these types of requests," said Wagnon.

John "Skip" Wagnon "Thirteen other schools, including Cameron University, are in the same situation," Wagnon added. The Bronchos will remain a member of the Lone Star Conference and will still play their complete NCAA schedules this

year but will be ineligible to win any LSC championships. "The Lone Star Conference is an NCAA member conference. Under the NCAA rule any member of the LSC who is not an NCAA member cannot compete for the conference title," said Wagnon. "So that we could provide CSU athletes with post season opportunities, we renewed our NAIA membership this year," Wagnon said. Despite playing full NCAA schedules, all CSU athletic teams will compete in the District-9 post season events. In addition, Broncho athletes will be eligible for all NAIA post season awards and championships, such as AllAmerican honors and national championship tournaments. Broncho teams will participate in all LSC championships and tournaments that do not conflict with District-9 post season activities but will not be eligible to claim any LSC championships or awards. "We hope to be admitted to the NCAA and to compete for these titles by September of 1988," Wagnon said.

Southeastern snuffs silent 'boycott' of Broncho teams By Mary Butler Sports editor

Ignoring an unspoken Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference boycott of Broncho athletic teams, the Southeastern University Athletic Department has agreed to include CSU on their fall football slate. Since 1984, members of the Oklahoma Intercolegiate Conference (OIC) have refused to schedule contests with Broncho sports teams. Those OIC teams include: Northeastern, Northwestern, East Central, Southwestern and Southeastern Universities. "There are no rules that say they have to play us. They have their own reasons for not wanting us on their schedule but some of

them claim we give more scholarships than other OIC members," said CSU Sports Information Director Doug Folks. "Southeastern wasn't as much a part of the so called boycott as other OIC teams," said CSU Athletic Director John "Skip" Wagnon. "They never said we gave too many scholarships," he added. Wagnon began discussing scheduling changes with Southeastern Athletic director Don Parhan last October. "Their athletic director suggested that we needed to talk about getting each other on the schedule. We talked about it two times since, but didn't think it would be possible this year. "Since one of our open dates

on the football schedule came after their season ended, we were able to work it out this fall," said Wagnon. Southeastern has also agreed to schedule contests with other CSU athletic teams. "We have scheduled a baseball

game this spring and in the future we'll compete against them in all sports," said Folks. Although Southeastern has had problems competing against the Broncho football team in the past, CSU boasts a 41-11-1 series advantage, this years contest should

very competitive for both squads. Southeastern scampered to a 19-0 deafeat of Cameron University last season while CSU was forced to settle for a 21-21 tie. The November 14 match-up renews a gridiron rivalry that has been silent for ten years.

Curl to direct Lady Spikers; assist basketball recruiting From staff reports

Joe Curl, a former student athlete and assistant basketball coach under Jim Seward, CSU's new men's basketball coach, has been named coordinator of the recently revived Lady Broncho volleyball program. Curl played basketball under Seward at Wayne State College in Wayne, Neb., where he received his bachelor's degree. The new Broncho mentor also served as head assistant men's basketball coach and director of recruiting at Kansas Newman College in Wichita, Kan., under Seward. Curl will assume the same duties, assistant men's basketball coach at CSU, as well as help with recruiting for both the men's and Women's basketball teams. While working with Seward in Neb., Curl also directed the volleyball program for St. Thomas Aquinas and Kapaun Mount Carmel High School.

Curl also served as athletic director at St. Thomas and coached boy's basketball at Kapaun. In addition, Curl coached junior high volleyball and basketball from 1978-79 and high school basketball from 1979-84 at South Souix City, Neb. The Lady Broncho volleyball team will take the court for the first time since the program was discontinued in 1984 because of scheduling poblems. CSU will open its season, its initial Lone Star Conference campaign, in Lawton against the Cameron Lady Aggies on Sept. 8. Cameron University is also a new member in the eight team conference joining Alilene Christin, Angelo State, East Texas, Eastern New Mexico, Texas A&I and West Texas. CSU's first home match is scheduled for Sept. 22 against Oklahoma Baptist University at 7:30 p.m. in the Broncho Field House.

CSU artist designs logo for Lone Star Conference By Kathy Fletcher Staff Writer Roy Cordell, CSU's publications artist, submitted the logo design that was chosen by the Lone Star Conference committee to represent the expanding Lone Star Conference. "The conference until a few years ago, was made up of only Texas schools," said Doug Folks, CSU's sports information director. "The conference now includes Angelo State in Texas, Abilene Christian, West Texas State, Texas A&I, East Texas State, East New Mexico and new Oklahoma members, CSU and Cameron University in Lawton. "Both CSU and Cameron will be

members, but will be ineligible for championships until next year," Folks said. "CSU will be allowed to play the full schedule this year." The new logo is a star overlay-

Each school in the conference submitted a logo design. "Skip Wagnon, the CSU representative to the conference, came to me and said that the Lone Star Conference was having trouble fin-

dizoitt4 eltiza ing the three state region that the conference governs. "I designed

"I worked on the design for about two or three weeks," said Cordell. "I went through probably a dozen or more designs and typefaces before 1 found a combination I was happy with." The campuses throughout the conference will display the logo in various ways, including on media guides, programs, business cards and letterheads. CSU tentatively plans to display the logo on the floor of the basketball court. "A good logo design can be used any size - from a football field to a business card," Cordell said. "It should be easily recognizable at any size from any distance. That's what I had to keep in mind when designing the logo." The Lone Star Conference is a major NCAA II football conference," he said. "There will be a lot of people seeing my work and that's exciting for me." "It's very fulfilling to know that my work will gain national exposure," he said. Cordell, a 1980 graduate of

Duncan High School, attained a BA in art education from CSU in 1985. He has been publications artist for CSU since February of 1986.

. . university substitutes meal for graduation

August 27, 1987 § The Vista § page 9

By Susan Green Editor

Degrees were given to 423 graduates, July 28 at Wantland Stadium. Dr. Bill Lillard, CSU president, granted 246 bachelor's degrees and 177 graduate degrees to the summer class of 1987. Class marshals Dianna Moody and Michael Ray Smith led the processional, both graduating with a gradepoint of 3.9.

NOW WHEN YOU ASK MOM AND DAD TO SEND MONEY, THEY'LL HAVE AN EASIER WAY TO-TIO

Fall graduates are out of luck if they are expecting a ceremony in December. Dr. Clyde Jacob, assistant vice president of academic affairs said its unlikely that there will ever be one. The question "why is there no December graduation?" arose after several students wrote letters to the editor inquiring this information. Jacob said most universities have moved away from midyear graduation and some have even moved from summer ones. As far as mid-year graduation for CSU, Jacob said there has never been one. "I don't know that we need one," Jacob said. "It was an administrative decision not to have one and I support it," he added. In lieu of a mid-year ceremony, the university provides a senior breakfast, free of charge for those who finish in December. Jacob said this is designed specifically as a recognition for those seniors. Those graduating in spring receive a recognition dinner in addition to the graduation ceremony. Unless the university policy changes, Jacob said there will never be a mid-year graduation ceremony. That is why there is other recognition, he said. "I'm not sure a mid-year ceremony would provide any more recognition. December graduates are officially conferred in spring as a policy rule. There will be a few students who will be inconvenienced, but I've never heard students complain. "The university keeps in touch with those who graduate. They are invited to the spring ceremony

are encouraged to participate. If they can't attend, there diploma will be mailed to them," Jacob said. Jacob said another possible reason for the missing ceremony, is that many students in mid-year have employment responsibilities and the weather is also another hindrance. Also the number of those graduating in December is much smaller than the number of those graduating in May. However, the number of summer graduates appears even smaller. This past summer, there were 423 participating in graduation. The December graduation count will range from five to 600. The count for spring graduation averages close to 1600, Jacob said. Although graduation ceremonies are provided by the university, graduates are required to pay a $25 graduation fee, whether they are attending the ceremony or not. This covers the cost of caps and gowns for those participating and the cost of the diploma. This fee is one point brought up by students wishing for a December ceremony. "December graduates have to pay their money for the May ceremony, so they should be granted a full graduation ceremony in December," Senior Dan Sharpe said. Sharpe, who graduates in December, feels the number of December graduates is quite large and they have worked just as hard and met the same requirements as May graduates. Unless university policy changes, there will never be a midyear graduation ceremony.

Freshman orientation weak By Kim Earnest Associate Editor Transfering from one university to another or re-entering college after "stopping out," is often a time of apprehension and readjustment. But for the first time, freshman, the transition from high school to college is often a time of tremendous anxiety and frustration. Many Oklahoma universities are re-evaluating their freshman orientation services. National surveys indicate 20 to 40 percent of college freshman do not return for their sophomore year. At CSU, 38 percent of the freshman drop out after their first semester, increasing to 48 percent after their second semester. Many state universities are taking notice of these statistics and are directing more effort into personalizing orientation beyond the normal pre-week campus tour, in a effort to make new students feel more confident. Central State Uniersity's freshman orientation is basically

limited to freshman living on campus. According to Dana Christman of CSU's housing office,"Orientation '87" leaflets were sent during the summer to incoming freshman. For $18.50, the participating students are provided with a three-day program which includes meeting the dorm resident staff, campus tours, swimming, softball, and a hamburger cookout. This orientation is provided only to those students which have paid the registration fee and have a housing contract. Freshman enrollment for fall 1987 is currently over 3300. Although enrollment is still continuing, this figure is up over 200 students from fall 1986. Approximately one-half of these students reside on campus. So why doesn't CSU have a more in-depth orientation for their students? Granted the University of Oklahoma has a larger freshman population residing on campus, but even such universities as Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, have acquired outside assistance in a ef-

fort to make the new student's transaction smoother. "On campus students are basically ignored," said Lee Allen, student senator. "How can we recruit new students if we ignore the ones we have? I don't think it should be mandatory necessarily, but should be publicized more," he said. "I don't think many freshman even know the orientation exists. It goes back to the apathy at this school... from the administration all the way down the line," Allen added. Four years ago, CSU offered a week long, in-depth orientation program. However, due to lack of participation, the service was deleted. "The average age at Central State is 27.8. It is difficult to force someone of that age to participate in a more detailed orientation program. They just don't have the interest," Dr. Dudley Ryan, Dean of Student Services said. " Last fall we only had three to four off campus students who

wished to participate in an orientation program." Dudley said he did not feel the national freshman drop-out rate had any relivance to CSU. "Many students "stop-out" at CSU for a semester or so due to various reasons and some students transfer to other universitys. However CSU's transfer-in rate is up considerably from last year," Dudley said." "Fifteen years ago CSU had a mandatory orientation policy. The students were given one credit hour for attending. Again, it is difficult to force students 27 years old who are beginning college for the first time, to participate in an orientation program. Most don't have the time or the interest," he said. Jeff Shilling, Student Association president said, "I believe if more student activity fees went to development, freshman would not be so bored." Schilling added that the Student Association budget was cut 25 percent. Though he was in favor

of a more complete orientation program, the delimma they face is cutting the organization or the student activities. Some of the resident halls continue the orientation process after the semester begins. Sammi Wilhite, head resident of Thatcher Hall said, "Though the freshman orientation program is good, it's not enough. But I guess it's better than leaving them totally on their own." The staff at Thatcher held a general meeting for their freshman residents on Monday evening. Wilhite said after the first day of classes, new questions and problems arise for the freshman. "We wish we could do more in the orientation program. But, we are strained with checking new students in and getting them settled. This makes it difficult to be creative. I would be in favor of a more complete orientation, however we couldn't do it by ourselves," Wilhite said.

Book store changes registers, ups capabilities By J. Money Associate editor The Book Store located in the University Center will transform during the next two weeks. The most obvious change to students will be the remodeled register areas, allowing students access to more registers, reducing the amount of time spent waiting in line. Book Store Director Arthur Robinson said the Book Store purchased ten of the registers. The main benefits besides the added registers, he said, would be better control over the inventory of books stocked in the store. "The registers and software we have purchased will enable the store to keep track of the amount of books it is selling, allowing us to keep a closer eye on our inven-

tory without actually having to go to the shelves and hand count," Robinson said. The registers, Robinson said, can be programmed to monitor the amount of books stocked, the amount sold, and can even tell personnel when a book needs to be reordered through the use of reorder points. When reorder points are reached, Robinson said, the computer generates a printed note suggesting a reorder. "Sometimes we have students at the last minute during a semester buy books. This can be a problem, particularly if they are buying books that were originaly ordered for the following semester. Through the use of the sale-inventory control system, however, the computer can alert us that the books are selling,

thereby giving us time to get more books in before the next semester," Robinson said. Robinson said that the ten new registers will be on line within two weeks, and said the system should be used at its full capability by the spring semester. Robinson said the system, which cost $80,000 for the machines and software, was purchased to replace other registers which the store was having physical problems with and also to provide a better demand and supply picture for the store to work with. "Publishers can't keep up with sharp shifts in the demand of a certain text, and the new system will give us the ability to order sooner to try and keep from running out," Robinson said.

Book Store employee Dessie Griffin (right) uses one of the registers recently purchased by the Book Store to sell books to Jon Yowell. After the registers are installed, students will reap benefits, in more than one way (see story this page).

Before you choose a long distance service, take a close look.

You may be thinking about choosing one of the newer carriers over AT&T in order to save money. Think again. Since January 1987, AT&T's rates have dropped more than 15% for direct-dialed out-ofstate calls. So they're lower than you probably realize. For information on specific rates, you can call us at 1 800 222-0300. And AT&T offers clear long distance connections, operator assistance, 24-hour customer service, and immediate credit for wrong numbers. Plus, you can use AT&T to call from anywhere to anywhere, all over the United States and to over 250 countries. You might be surprised at how good a value AT&T really is. So before you choose a long distance company, pick up the phone.

Affirmative Action claims possible breach By Kim Earnest

Associate Editor With the departure of Hank Mooney, former Vista advisor and faculty professor, three adjunct staff members have been hired for this semester. Lu Hollander, Juanda Boord and Mark Hanebutt, will take the positions of yearbook advisor, newspaper advisor and newswriting professor. Hollander is teaching Magazine Editing I and is faculty advisor to the yearbook. Boord is the faculty advisor to The Vista and will also oversee the news reporting and news editing labs. Hanebutt is teaching News Reporting and Non-fiction Writing I. A similar situation occured last fall with the retirement of Journalism Professor Dr. Stan Hoig. An adjunct professor was brought in to teach two classes and serve as faculty advisor to the yearbook. Though the addition of the adjunct professor is necessary, it is causing great concern among the journalism majors as to the fate and the reputation of the journalism department. Shae Naro, a junior journalism student said, "It's all a joke. If it was another department the institution would bust their butt to hire a full-time quality instructor. It's a shame they're railroading the journalism student out of a quality education." "If they keep changing the professors, the educational level will suffer," said Dennis Ramsey. "I guess it's cheaper to hire part-time instructors." Shannon Blockcolski, senior journalism major said, "I think it would have been better if a fulltime professor would have been hired. I'm afraid that no matter

how hard Dr. Tassin tries to keep the quality in the department, the journalism departments reputation will be hurt by this. I'm glad I'm graduating in May." According to Dr. Ray Tassin, chairperson of the Journalism Department, the procedures were followed as set forth in the Faculty Handbook, the administrative guide for the university, in the attempt to hire a full-time professor. The screening committee was formed by Tassin and his department members, and a suitable candidate was recommended and ready to join the journalism department. Tassin said he was notified Aug. 21, that due to accusations made by Joyce Mounce, assistant vice president of administration and personnel, regarding possible violations of Affirmative Action procedures, Dr. Clyde Jacob, academic vice president, recommended adjunct instructors be used for the fall 1987 semester. Jacob said, "This year is an unusual situation. We did have a full-time vacancy created by Mooney's departure. We went through the advertising process and a committee was established to screen the selections. However, a potential problem arose, a possible violation of affirmative action. This puts the university in a potentially awkard position." "In light of the problem, in the screening process, rather than risk possible legal repercussions, with the university and the individuals involved with the committee, the most responsible thing to do, was suspend the process. In the meantime, classes must be taught. The primary concern is that the students needs are served," he added.

process, while at the same time chairpersons from other departments were allowed to participate in the selection of their new faculty. In her letter, Mounce stated that procedurally, the dean is to work with the chairperson to identify a committee that is representative of significant interest, such as the academic Journalism department, Public Relations, the University Press, etc., and minorities and women. Tassin responded by stating that none of this is in the Faculty Handbook, which says, the dean will notify the department chairperson who will form a search committee from his department members. He stated this is precisely what he did. Tassin further stated in his letter, "If you want to change this, change the Faculty Handbook, but don't accuse me of failing to follow procedure when I follow the handbook." Jacob accepted the recommendation but said that as soon as they can, they will re-advertise and hopefully have a full-time instructor in January. Tassin contended, "Three parttime instructors won't hurt us if that's all there is to it." Mounce and Warren were unavailable for comment.

duties of Mooney's position he filled by part-time personnel and recruit for a longer period of time. Page 77 of the Faculty Handbook states that when a position becomes open, the president and vice president for academic affairs authorize the dean of the appropriate college to initiate a search. The dean is to notify the department chairperson, who will form a search committee from his department members. The committee will prepare a job description, which is submitted to the personnel director through the department chairperson, the dean and the vice president of academic affairs. If this description meets Affirmative Action guidelines, the Personnel Director will authorize its distribution. Mounce contends in her letter that once the committee is identified, it is supposed to be briefed by the university's Affirmative Action office on proper procedures and Affirmative Action goals. Tassin said the only instructions he received came in a letter from Warren dated July 31, 1987, in which Warren ordered the screening committee to select and forward three names unranked. Tassin stated he was prohibited from participating in the selection

In a letter dated Aug. 24, 1987, to CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard, Jacob, Mounce and Dr. Clif Warren, Dean of Liberal Arts, Tassin rebuts the claims. Tassin states that in Mounce's letter of Aug. 18, 1987, to Jacob that, "The letter contained several major inaccuracies and partial truths. I have no reason to beleive these were intentional, but I do wish to set the record straight." In his letter, Tassin cites several other Liberal Arts departments who recently installed new faculty members. "If these other Liberal Art selections are in compliance, then perhaps someone can explain why journalism—the only one with a minority member—is not in compliance," states Tassin in his letter. Mounce contended in her letter, that several women were screened out of consideration, claiming one application was mysteriously lost. One due to an incomplete application was rejected, though she stated she was not advised of proper procedure by Tassin. Several other violations were stated in Mounce's letter. However, Tassin states he followed procedures as set forth in the Faculty Handbook, page 77, to fill the full-time vacancy. Mounce recommended the
