Auction nets 5 percent By Kamal Mazlan and Bill Kramer Staff Writers Central State University auctioned $125,000 worth of physical plant equipment on July 17 at CSU, but the return was only $6,500, said Philip Arnold, vice president for administration. "The attendance at the auction was poor because it was held on a Monday. Also, the manner in which the auction was advertised was poorly done by the auctioneer," Arnold said. Arnold said the university

expected to collect 10 cents on each dollar, but due to the poor turnout, the university made only five cents on the dollar. "The bottom line is we're disappointed that we didn't get more money from the auction. We have taken steps to ensure that future auctions will be conducted in a better way, and with much publicity," Arnold said. "From the management standpoint, we knew we had too large an inventory in the (CSU) physical plant. We needed to dispose of obsolete and accumulated inventory

that was really unnecessary, and the best option was through an auction," Arnold said. A former CSU employee who wishes to remain anonymous, said that most of the items up for bid could have been used. "They could have used up ev-

ery item in that auction," he said. The Edmond Evening Sun reported Thursday most of the equipment auctioned was new, and that CSU held the auction

By Kamal Mazlan Staff Writer Approximately 25 adjunct faculty members at Central State University were dismissed last week due to a last-minute discovery of a $120,000 shortfall in the university's part-time teaching budget, said Dr. Albert Lynd, assistant vice president for academic affairs Thursday. The sudden reduction of the adjunct faculty resulted in 61 class sections being either cancelled or combined with other classes, Lynd said. The College of Liberal Arts deleted 25 classes, the College of Business, 13 classes, the College of Math and Science, 12 classes and the College of Education cancelled 11 classes, Lynd said. Lynd denied that this situation was caused by miscommunication between campus administrators and department chairpersons. "It's no fault of the chairpersons. They operate in concert with their deans on what is known as FTE (full-time equivalent) in hiring part-time faculty. The class schedule (at CSU) was put together using the FTE approach," Lynd said. But on the week ending Aug. 18, the administration officials discovered that they were very close to using all of the year's budget in one semester, about $520,000. CSU had allocated $600,000 to be used for adjunct

faculty purposes in 1989-90, of which $400,000 was budgeted for fall. Registrar Darrell Gilliland said about 240 CSU students were affected by the cancellation of classes last week. Gilliland said 90 percent of the classes deleted had fewer than 10 students. "We'll refund all of their money for the classes cancelled, if they choose not to enroll in another class or reenroll in an alternative course by this week." "People were hurt of course when classes were cancelled, including the students. But it wasn't deliberate on anyone's part. It just had to be done, to live within our (part-time teaching) budget," Gilliland said. "I think the reductions will have a small effect," Lynd said, "but action will absolutely be taken to ensure that this does not happen again. I also firmly believe adjunct faculty understands that we hire them semester by semester." But Dr. John King, physics department chairman, offered another opinion. "The dismissals amount to a breach of faith," he said. "I think, in the future, adjuncts would be reluctant to start teaching at CSU without a written commitment from a department chairperson. Some of the adjunct faculty members laid off were hired as long as a

year ago, with the expectation that their appointments would be approved after they started teaching," King said. "The one adjunct faculty member I had to dismiss gave up his vacation to prepare for his class. He had reason to get angry but he didn't. If it had been somebody else, it could have been worse," King said. "I had heard rumors that this might happen," said 0. W. Johnson, part-time physics teacher, when he was told he was being dismissed. "It's one of those things. As adjunct faculty, we were hired as needed. Nothing has changed. I'll probably teach again at CSU," said Johnson, who teaches full time at Rose State College. and had been teaching at CSU on and off since 1970. CSU junior Ron Craig, from Del City, said he wishes he had stayed home last week. "Two of my classes were cancelled without prior notice. It's bad enough having to get up early for class, but to find it cancelled on the first day, wow, that's something else." "I had been enrolled in the classes since summer to make sure I got the teachers I wanted," Craig said. "Like me, a lot of students were really mad about the cancelled courses. I think the administration needs to pull their act togther, or else the students will study someplace else."

Viewpoints Pre-planning needed By DeWayne Smoot Editor in chief

The last-minute shuffling of classes and adjunct faculty indicates a lack of planning and coordination among campus administrators, lumping additional worries on students and faculty as they try to settle into their otherwise pre-detemined schedules. Unannounced changes of this magnitude do nothing but serve as obstacles in the path of a student's education: standing in enrollment lines instead of attending class lectures. If classes weren't altogether scrapped, they were reportedly combined with other classes which were already crowded to capacity limits. This kind of disregard for students—especially students who diligently enrolled early enough to avoid long lines—isn't the best way to welcome students to campus. Campus officials said students enrolled in these cancelled classes would have their fees credited or be reimbursed. There was some grumbling among these students, however, that—through no fault of their own–they were still being charged two dollar

for dropping and adding courses. Enrollment at CSU, as for many institutions of higher education in the state, has shown steady increases. These trends need to be taken into consideration by administrators, and faculty requirements should be planned well in advance of each semester. It's not like last year when the fiscal budget wasn't allocated until August.

Former SA senator snubs SA pres

Once again another school year is upon us, and for certain members of the Central State University Student Association, and the organization itself, the new year is filled with both opportunity and challenge. Last spring the student body witnessed, contrary to the best judgement of those advocating a representative democracy, the acclamation—not election—of a new student body president following an unusual series of events—and one of the most politically heated campaigns in the history of the SA Senate. Although I refer to the process which resulted in our president's acclamation as a "campaign", it was composed more of a coalition of individuals who were part of a larger conspiracy primarily within the SA establishment to totally decapitate his opponent than a positive package of constructive ideas in which the SA will ultimately indulge itself. Some may perceive that any campaign that produces a technical "winner" is synonomous with the defeat/destruction of an opponent. And while it may be in some important respects, in this particular case it was not. Instead, this crucial definitional

difference serves as the focal point for what I feel that we, the student body, can truly expect from the SA president and the SA itself. As I mentioned before, our president initially ran for office, not because he wanted to be president of the SA or thought that he would do a good job but, because he, in conjunction with several others, wanted to prevent his opponent from holding that title, and because our former presidents wanted to handpick their successor from their little black book of close associates. Action was taken just for the sake of doing so, not because of the benefit that it would yield to the SA or the student body. The bottom line is that the cumulative impact of each independant action was not anticipated correctly and ultimately the student body will suffer. A precedent has been set. We can expect action on the important issues facing the student body only if our president receives a nod from those who so graciously put him in office or if he is vehemently opposed to whatever might be happening. From my perspective I see no middle ground. It appears as

Vulgar campus graffiti mars CSU's image These are the words on a wall of a men's restroom on the Central State University campus: CSU poet has struck again! The poet, of course, consists of many writers, not just one. Recently, I have seen more and more artwork being done on the walls of CSU buildings. Words like "... was here," "... is a nerd," or "Iranians go home" are often seen as well as a countless number of four-letter words. The most shocking, however, was found at the library. Last spring, when one of the elevator lifts broke, a paper notice was pasted on the door—a target for the poet's work. The poet's choice of words was extremely

inappropriate for this particular place. I admit it: I pulled down the notice because of shame: ashamed of the , what seems to be, decline of CSU morality.

Letter Of course, the "poet" probably consists of less than 1 percent of the campus population. But, the work of that small percentage spoils the university's image for many. Seen in this light, a word of advice for the poet(s): I suggest you take the entry level course in beginning poetry. Name withheld by request

Letter though he will not initiate action only respond to it if the impulse presents itself. Well, maybe I am being a bit too harsh. During the course of the election campaign our president said that he would fight for lower tuition rates, provide honesty and integrity in student government, and I do recall, believe it or not, that he finally proclaimed, "I am not antiathletics!" Does that mean he will suddenly gain a huge constituency of CSU football players? I really don't think so considering that less than 300 voters turned out for the last election, and the senate, as a whole, is a nonrepresentative body in the sense that there are not contested elections for most seats. Instead, they are just appointed or, similar to the way our president gained office, won by acclamation. In closing, I would like to ask the student body and our president just who really won? Was it our president, his opponent, or the student body? In reality, I guess the title tells

all. It probably wasn't the two latter who won, but the former. It may be premature and unjustified to call our president a lame duck, but because he is now a public figure such criticism must become accepted as common practice. Incidentally, at last Monday's senate meeting our president stated, "This year I will not tolerate any bad publicity... and I don't care if I have to take money out of my own pocket for a column in the Vista... the vigilantes will pay." (I'm sure that, throughout history, many men—like Hitler and Stalin— had very similar thoughts.) Anyway, I challenge other concerned members of the student body to examine all the evidence at the end of his term to see if my analysis was faulty or my prediction was wrong. Meanwhile, while we are waiting on our "pre-promised" reply, Mr. President, actions speak louder than words. Don't just tell us you're for lower tuition, better student government, and athletics, show us!

The Central State University library is having a problem with stolen and mutilated library materials, said Dr. John Lolley, director of library services Thursday. "The problem so angers me that I want to find out what I can do legally," said Lolley. The scope of the problem is more than just stolen books, it's also valuable materials, such as typewriters, and mutilated resource materials, he said. "Students are returning periodicals with articles torn out and destroying and taking materials that are the most valuable and needed," said Lolley.

"CSU is a commuter university and students don't have time to look elsewhere for information and the majority of the time this determines whether the student will make an A as opposed to not completing an assignment," said Lolley. John Purdy, CSU acquisitions librarian, said the library makes every attempt to replace stolen or damaged materials. "A real problem occurs when materials cannot be replaced," said Purdy. "Film back-up of periodicals and magazines which require subscriptions cannot be replaced at all. It's just not a good situation," he said. According to policy, the li-

Business college gets 30 Macs By David Coppock

Student Writer

Stella Jo Wantland LeMaster and husband Lloyd Morrisett, Jr.

Fountainplanned: Donorgives $50 000 The College of Education had raised a few thousand dollars on its own before the donation was received by the Morrisett family, Jones said. Dr. Earl Newman, chief fundraiser of the project, said a meeting will be held Oct. 30 to review presentations by various artists. The project committee for the building of the fountain will then decide who to hire for the job. Newman said the planning stages have only begun for the fountain and no completion date of any kind has been established. The proposed location of the fountain will be between Evans Hall and Old North.

By Bill Kramer Staff Writer

A donation of $50,000 has been given to Central State University which will be used to fund a fountain building project of the College of Education, according to Linda Jones, director of communications and publications. The donation was left in the will of Stella Jo Wantland LeMaster, the wife of Lloyd Morrisett and the daughter-in-law of W.T. Morrisett, a long-time custodian of Evans Hall and the CSU library. LeMaster's stepson, Lloyd Morrisett Jr., said use of the gift for the fountain would have pleased his stepmother.

Thirty Macintosh SE-15 computers are now available for Central State University student use on weekdays in the Macintosh Lab located in Business Building, Room 111, through a donation from the Apple Corporation. CSU is the sole recipient of such a donation by the Apple Corporation in Oklahoma, according to Dr. Joe Kinzer, dean of the College of Business Administration. The donation has a market value of $100,000. Kinser said CSU agreed to support technology on campus through computer activities including provision for faculty training seminars, and organization of student tours of the computer lab facilities. The agreement was reached late last spring. The computer lab was first utilized during the summer semester. The open lab is monitored by business department personnel in order to provide assistance for the student who may need it. "It's a significant event for us, said Kinzer. "We didn't have the budget to provide state-ofthe-art equipment for our students." Kinzer said he believes the Apple Corporation chose CSU over other universities because of the school's older student population and the balance between students attending day

and night classes. Other plans for the 30 computers include work on a network linkage to the Liberal Arts lab, non-university usage of the computer lab, and expansion of lab hours, he said. The Oklahoma Press Association is making plans to use the

lab facility for training Oklahoma reporters from around the state, he said. Macintosh lab hours are Monday 1:30-5:30 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday 8 a.m.-noon and 7:30-10 p.m.; and Friday 2 p.m.-5 p.m. The lab is closed on Wednesday.

Bookstore troubled despite change

By Jo Pydynkowsky Student Writer Improvements at the University Center Bookstore are being negated by a new problem, according to an employee of the bookstore. The new problem involves students receiving financial aid.

Some students are not producing proper identification or following the procedure for getting their financial aid on the computer, John Coates, assistant manager of the bookstore said. Coates said several signs indicate where to take the finan-

cial aid slip, but not all students are paying attention to them, he said. "If students would stop at the counter and make sure their financial aid is placed on the computer before going in to buy books, it would avoid a lot of unnecessary delays," he said. For years, the bookstore has been plagued with computer problems, lack of required textbooks, and untrained, parttime, temporary employees, Coates said. This semester, a brand new computer system, a good supply of textbooks, and better qualified employees are in place, he said. "The personnel department has bent over backwards to find qualified personnel with cash register and retail experience," Coates said. "The better your help, the better they are at the register stand. "We've had a couple of minor register problems, but only one big computer problem, and that was fixed quickly," Coates said. Identification accepted at the bookstore includes an Oklahoma Driver's License, a military ID., passports, or an Oklahoma I.D. card, Coates said. For those with out-of-state licenses and identification, a class printout or a printout from the finance counter showing that the semester's tuition has been paid is required, he said.

Softballers gearing up for OSU By Randy Anderson Sports Writer Softball season for the 1989-90 Central State University Lady Bronchos began out in the 95 degree heat on August 23, with coach Gerry Pinkston beginning to get the team back in shape for their opening game against Oklahoma State on September 7 in Stillwater. "I had the girls out running

Recruiting a success, says Hunt By Eric Fullbright Student Writer Central State University Baseball Coach Bobby Hunt said he is pleased with the new recruits this year, and optimistic about the Broncho squad next season. The CSU baseball team, which finished with a record of 24 wins against 26 defeats last season, is returning 12 players and adding 22 newcomers. Also returning for the Bronchos are pitchers Tim Roberts and Dave Sigler. Both received hardships due to injuries suffered last season. Although many positions will be held by returning Bronchos, the outfield will undergo major reconstruction due to graduation. "The outfielders will be tough to replace," Hunt said, "but with the new recruits, and the returning players we have the outfield will do just as well as last season, if not better." The Broncho baseball team will have three scrimages this fall. Scheduled scrimages include a pair of games with Oscar Rose Junior College and one contest with Seminole Junior College. Hunt said it was more important to evaluate his own players than to look at other squads players this early in the year. With the Bronchos having to schedule NCAA competion for the first time, preparing a schedule with new schools is difficult, Hunt said. "It is difficult getting a schedule together your first year ina new conference," Hunt said. 'e have to schedule with schools we've never scheduled before." Hunt began piecing together 1990's schedule with a pair of games with Missouri Southern University and Missouri Western University. Other scheduled games include South Dakota State University and Washburn (Kan.) University.

laps around the field and throwing the ball around to loosen up their arms," said coach Gerry Pinkston. The Lady Bronchos will jump right back into a tough new schedule with Oklahoma State University on September 7, and the University of Oklahoma on September 12. "We go to Stillwater for our first game which will be tough," said Pinkston. "Last year they

finished third in Division I behind UCLA and Fresno St." The Lady Bronchos who finished last season ranked 14 in District 9 play will be returning 9 players from last years roster and numerous other talent that joined the team in the offseason. Players joining the team include Shelly Williamson, third baseman from Putnam City West; Laura Edwards, outfiel-

der from Tuttle; Amy Douglas, catcher from East Plano, Texas; Christy Smith, third baseman from Plainview, Texas; Tracy Willis, pitcher from Bixby; Sherry McIntosh, catcher from Putnam City North; Hollie Nimmo, utility from Edmond; and Ladonna Miller, catcher from Choctaw. Williamson was named to the Oklahoma All-State team in 1988, while Edwards, Smith,

Willis, and Nimmo were named All-State this past season. "We have a couple of preseason injuries that are bothering us including infielder Leslie Leggett's ankle injury," Pinkston said. "Hopefully she can get back out and help us in a few weeks." "We have some things to work on," Pinkston said. "Now is the time to get everyone in shape."

Lone Star Conference Gridiron Preview '89

0,4S 000 ?0, A100. ?001

By John Lukehart rt Editor Spos ast week marked the beginning of Lone Star Conference football with all eight teams preparing for action on opening weekend Sept. 2. Let's take a look at the conference from top to bottom. Texas A&I is the overwhelming favorite to capture the conference title. The Javelinas, returning 18 starters from last years NCAA II semifinals team along with 38 of 51 lettermen, are expected to contend for the Division II national championship. Angelo State and East Texas State were picked to finish second and third, respectively, in pre-season polls. The two schools tied for second last season, and are expected to provide the top challanges again in 1989. Angleo State returns 12 from last seasons 6-4 squad, while East Texas brings back 10. Cameron, tied for fourth last season with CSU, is expected to finish fourth. The Aggies return 40 of 50 lettermen, including 13 starters. CSU captured the fifth spot in the pre-season poll. The Bronchos are returning 41 of 48 lettermen. Eastern New Mexico failed to win a conference game last season and finished with a record of 2-8. However, with 15 starters returning and 27 of 40 letterman back the Greyhounds were picked to finish sixth. West Texas State, who finished last year's campaign with a conference record of 1-6, returns 14 starters from last years squad. The Buffaloes, who started 13 freshmen in 1988, will depend on sophomores and freshmen again in 1989 as rebuilding continues. *AL* Three Broncho football players earned pre-season AllAmerica recognition from College Football Preview '89. The magazine, which gives exclusive coverage to the nation's small colleges, listed tailback Pinkey Hurley, linebacker Mike Bennett and free-safety Robert Gordon on the 148-member preseason All-America team. Other Bronchos who could capture post-season honors are fullback Glen Braxton, noseguard Tony Bryan, linebacker Wade Standley and cornerback Curtis Hill. AL** Central State University has been picked to finish fifth in the Lone Star Conference this season by three different publications.

after being told to so by the State Auditor and Inspector's office. "The report was erroneous. We didn't have the auction because the state auditors required us to do it. They didn't order it (the auction), they only audited the size of the inventory and what our projected budget is," Arnold said. "The decision to hold the auction was made independently of the audit.

we had a large inventory, and were already taling about options on how to get rid of excess equipment," said Arnold. Mike Doyle, state audit manager, said the decision is up to the management of the university as to how inventory is reduced. "We (the state auditor's office) are responsible for limiting inventory control procedures only and can only recommend what action for them to take in reducing inventory," Doyle said. "I am not at liberty to say whether I think the action taken by the university was a good move or not. I can only recommend action, not enforce it," said Doyle. WORK FOR YOURSELF

The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges requested the inventory audit to follow up a previous audit of records, which ended in June, 1987. Arnold said the auctioned items were mostly nuts-and bolts-type of equipment, such as, tires, carpentry tools, and plumbing and electrical supplies. A sum of $6,512 was collected through the auction, and after sales taxes and commission paid to the auctioneer, CSU netted about $6,123, Arnold said.

Correction In the August 24 edition of the article "Adjunct acuity Cut" on page one contamed a printing error that indicated that $400,000 was to be used for Academic Affairs. In reality, $400,000 is the fall budget for adjunct faculty. The Vista regrets the error. l'he Vista,
