New phone system solves old problem

By MaryGaye Franklin Associate Editor After years of problems connected with an out-dated telephone system, CSU's new state-of-the-art phone system is up and ringing.

The old system which was plagued with problems such as difficulty with getting a line on which to make a call and complete failure to operate in wet weather, has been replaced with a system purchased from and installed by Centel Corporation.

The Centel system not only includes new phone instruments but also new wiring all over campus.

The cost for it was $575,870 and university officials expect that the new system will bring about a savings in phone costs of approximately $1.8 million over the next five to seven years.

To this date there have been no major problems with the phones, says Larry Williams, vice president of administration, except uninformed users having difficulties learning to operate the many varied functions that the system performs.

"We are avoiding so many problems of previous years," said Dr. Bill Lillard, CSU president. "It's much easier now to get on to and off campus with a telephone call.

"The system works fine, but it's taking us operators a little while to make it function right."

To help the users learn to operate the system, Centel offered classes on how to use the phones and their functions properly.

These classes were held before the semester for staff and faculty and during the first week of classes for any others who wished to learn about the phones.

There is also a complete and detailed instruction manual that comes with the phones to help those who took the classes to remember how and to instruct those who are new to the system and missed the classes or would rather teach themselves.

Dr. Gene McBride, chairman of the sociology department, took the classes and says that he is "tickled" with the phones and has had no major problems with them.

"It's been fun learning how to use the phones, they're like a computer," McBride said. "They're magic, you can do everything with

them. I think we're really going to enjoy them."

According to McBride, the only problems he's noticed are professors having trouble learning how to use the different functions.

"The other day I heard a professor answer a call for another professor in the department. He told the caller to call back on the other professors extension instead of transferring the call because he didn't know how to do it."

Student Eva Galipeau, who works in the Public Information office here said, "I think I'll like them once I figure out all the different features and how to use them. But in the last week I've hung up on a lot of people."

So until everyone becomes proficient in the use of the new phones there are a few features which are most commonly used and everyone who uses the new system will be interested in being familiar with these.

—Internal calls: to call any extension on campus simply dial the extension number.

—Outside calls: to get an outside line on any phone you must dial 9 to get a dial tone and then dial the outside number you are calling.

—Hold: to put a call on hold, depress the hookswitch, release, then. dial * 9 and listen for the high-pitched holding tone. If you leave a call on hold for approximately 75 seconds your phone will ring, reminding you that you have someone on hold. After two or three rings the call will be returned to the operator.

—Reconnect: to reconnect with a call that is on hold, depress the hookswitch, release and dial * 1.

—Transfer: to transfer a call to another extension or to the operator, depress the hookswitch, release and dial * 7 and the extension number of the phone to which you are transferring the call. The operator's extension is 0.

—Group pick-up: this allows you to pick-up a call to an extension in your pick-up group (a pick-up group is the group of phones in a particular office area). To do this simply dial **3 and this will transfer the call to your extension.

There are numerous other functions that can be performed with the new system. These functions include such things as call forwarding, conference calls, callback queuing, message waiting and speed calling.

CSU is 'where the action is'

Lillard forecasts good year

By Traci Baucom Associate Editor "This is the year of action for Central State University," Dr. Bill Lillard, president of CSU, told faculty members in the first faculty meeting of the fall semester.

Central State's motto is is "ubi motus est," a Latin phrase meaning "where the action is" and Lillard thinks it's befitting for this school year.

He cites three newly paved and marked parking lots, located near Old North, the Health Science and the Math and Computer Science buildings, a new traffic light at Main and University and the paving of Ayers Street as improvements.

Another improvement on campus is the new phone system, Lillard said.

"Those are just some of the improvements," Lillard said. "One I point to with great pride is the fact that as we begin '84-'85, Cen-

tral State University now has colleges rather than schools. We are very proud of that fact. I think this more adequately describes what CSU is all about." .

Lillard said that he did not have final enrollment data as of yet, but that it appears the university is running about 2 to 2.5 percent higher than last year. According to him, last year set a record of over 13,000 students, which was 800 students more than the administration had expected.

In the area of budgeting and finance, Lillard admitted to some concern. State appropriations increased 1 percent. But the temporary 1 cent sales tax expires Dec. 31, 1985. According to Lillard, that will mean the State of Oklahoma will have $250 millon less to spend in all areas.

"As we look at the '85-'86 budget, there's that uncertainty as to whether or not the 1 cent sales tax will be there. That could mean a 10 to 15 percent decrease in

funds for higher education if that money isn't available.

CSU led the fight last year for more taxes for education and will continue to do so this year, Lillard said.

"Surveys have indicated that the people of the State of Oklahoma are willing to pay more taxes for education," he said.

"They may not be in favor of paying more taxes overall, but they are willing to pay more for education including higher education."

Lillard said more money for higher education could be obtained two ways: reallocating present state money or going to the people to ask for more taxes specifically for education and higher education.

"The botton line is this," Lillard said. "This will be an exciting year on the campus of Central State University. This is where the action is. I'm optimistic as well as enthusiastic.

Sororities begin formal rush week Formal rush for Central State University women students will begin Wednesday according to Rie Gerah, CSU panhellenic president.

"We will hold an informal orientation beginning at 6 p.m. in the faculty lounge of the University Center," Gerah said. "Anyone who is interested is invited to attend. It is a casual event and we will answer any questions on sorority life and rush procedures."

Activities begin Thursday.

Students will meet at 6:30 p.m. in the University Center and will attend three parties. Sorority houses on campus will hold open house during the evening and give tours of their facilities.

September 7 will be theme night, Gerah said. Rushees will meet at 6 p.m. in the University Center and then attend each of the special parties.

Preference invitations will be distributed at 10 a.m. September 8 in the University Center.

Preference parties will begin at 6 p.m. that evening.

Rushees will receive bids at 10 a.m. September 9 in the Y Chapel of Song on campus.

"At that time the rushees will be welcomed into a new family of sisters," Gerah said.

Sigma Kappa, Delta Zeta and Alpha Gamma Delta will participate in the rush week activities.

"More than 100 rush week applications have been requested,"

Gerah said. "We are looking forward to a big group this year. I'm really optimistic.

"The week will go really fast for the girls, but it will be a lot of fun."

Rush is open to all single fulltime freshmen, upperclass and transfer students. A registration fee of $10 is due no later than 6 p.m. Wednesday.

According to Deanna Land, Dean of Women, "Sorities are a lifetime benefit to women. They enable young women to meet new people, and become acquainted quickly, and sororities promote scholarship in academic performance and involvement on campus."

Opinion Page Student applauds teacher standards To the editor: Congratulations to the Oklahoma government for passing House Bill 1706 and raising the requirements for the teacher education program. In reading the requirements, it's easy to see why high school kids entering college have such a hard time competing academically in this state.

It is truly amazing to have students seated around me who can't read, or are unaware of how many U.S. Senators there are in the state of Oklahoma.

This state's biggest problem in education isn't money, it's knowledge.

It's hard to believe state requirements for a teaching certificate used to be a 2.25 percent grade point average and the passing of the Nelson-Denny standardized reading test. States in the North and the East set much higher standards in academics, requiring a minimum of 2.75 percent grade point average with a 3.00 percent in a student's respective major.

Again, I congratulate the Oklahoma House of Representatives for having the courage to take action against a long overdue problem. Unfortuately for some, the change comes too late.

Reagan incites 'cold war mentality'

By Ed Young Now that the euphoria has dwindled and some of us have regained sanity, let us take a closer view of what has truly happened this summer at the Republican convention in Dallas.

Ronald Wilson Reagan took the stage four years ago. Since then, his performance has introduced a familiar spirit of national pride to this country, but is it patriotism?

Patriotism can become a "hype."

Fortunately, time and environment usually combine to add the necessary

perspective to patriotism; however, not all political inspirations take on this enhancing quality.

Editorial This "hype" is a syndrome which affects those who grew up listening to Lowell Thomas and watching old newsreels—in essence, those who fall prey to the "cold war mentality."

American propaganda is alive and every bit as effective as Soviet propaganda.

1 believe there is a true generation gap existing in today's society between the post-war-baby-boomers and their fathers who served in World War II and Korea. I feel that many lessons were learned in Indo-China. Might we have spared fifty thousand American lives if "better dead than red" had never been uttered or Senator McCarthy never heard of?

The many who feel that L.B.J. pounded war drums in the sixties were not listening to the senator from Arizona who was his opponent in the 1965 presidential election. It seems fit-

Janitor performance criticized To the editor: Custodians? Janitors? Who are they? What are they? And more important, where are they?

I have seen the same nasty items in the bathrooms of the Liberal Arts Bulding for months now. The desks in the classrooms have not been washed down or cleaned up for semesters. I have my classes in the same rooms and am tired of looking at the same dried puddle of coffee on the floor, the same graffiti written on the backs of chairs and on the desk tops, and the same candy wrappers shoved in the corners.

Understandably, the students and faculty are the cause of these problems.

People should be more considerate of others who also share the facilities at the university. If people would throw their coffee, coke and hot chocolate

cups away, along with their candy and gum wrappers, then the janitors would not have such a hard job.

Granted, I probably do not have all the facts to this issue, the average passer-by might well view the situation in the same way.

Why are the buildings not kept in good order? How many custodians per building does this university employ?

And for that matter, how much are they paid?

Either it is not enough money to keep their interest in their job, or there is no supervision over these employees.

Who knows? Does anyone?

All I know is that I pay for part of their salary through taxes and tuition, and think that the job should be done, by someone!

ting that Barry Goldwater was chosen to address the convention in Dallas, and promote the re-election of a man who makes cute jests about beginning bombing in five minutes, a man who has demolished the work of three administrations toward stratigic arms limitations, and a man who is already begging for trouble in Central America as a Republican president with a divided congress.

This country at its present rate will be at war within ten years. It is the responsibility of this generation to point out the shame of this senseless pseudo-patriotism.

C'mon Ronnie. Stop throwing spitballs at the commies.

State,local world news Montana plagued by fires Scores of windwhipped fires raged out of control Tuesday across Montana, charring 100,000 acres of forests and rangeland and forcing hundreds of people to flee their homes, while fresh firefighters began arriving from other states.

According to Montana Gov. Ted Schwinden, the state is literally on fire from Glacier Park in the extreme northwest corner to the Cuter (National) Forest and the Bull Mountains in the southeast.

President Reagan declared two fires that threatened populated areas to be federal disaster areas Tuesday. A third fire was added Tuesday night after Federal Emergency Management Agency officials met in Helena to discuss additional federal assistance. The designation makes an unspecified amount of FEMA funds available to help firefighting efforts.

Scores of fires were burning, but no one was sure how many because several state and federal agencies were involved.

Officials were unsure what caused many of the blazes.

Chinese class offered Mandarin Chinese, the most widely used language on earth, will be offered this fall at Central State. The foreign languagehumanities department will offer the three hour course in beginning Chinese conversation.

The course will be taught by Fachih Yu who has his M.A. from the University of Oklahoma.

The class, Beginning Chinese Conversation 2003, will be offered from 7:30/8:55 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, according to Dr. Mildred Lyon, chairman of the foreign language department.

Beginning Chinese emphasizes the spoken language, but the class also teaches the student several simple written characters, Lyon said.

"The principal problem in lear-

ning Chinese is student selfconfidence," Yu said.

"The Chinese language looks totally different from English, and students doubt their ability to grasp it. But if so many Chinese students learn to speak and write English well, there is no reason why American students cannot learn Chinese equally well," Yu added.

Mandarin Chinese is the official language of mainland China and Taiwan. One-fourth of the world's population speaks Chinese, so a basic knowledge of the language could be most helpful to students going into business and could help those who later will become diplomats for the United States, Lyon said.

For additional information, call the CSU foreign languages department at ext. 2647 or 2601.

Shuttle launch delayed The first launch of the space shuttle Discovery was postponed for the third time Tuesday night, this time by a timing problem in the electronic system that jettisons the ship's booster rockets and fuel tank when they are empty.

Liftoff was rescheduled for 8:36 a.m. EDT today, 24 hours and one minute late.

With the space agency's prestige and the fortunes of America's space program riding on a successful flight, officials at Cape Canaveral said they felt it was prudent to work the problem and to study data for 24 hours before deciding to launch.

If the spent boosters and tank did not fall away from the shuttle as programmed two minutes and eight minutes into the flight, respectively, their dead weight would prevent the ship from going into orbit.

Twice before, the crew of six had climbed into the ship's cockpit, only to find themselves still earthbound a few hours later.

British dockers remain split Dock workers at Southampton and six other ports joined the British dock strike Tuesday, but workers at 11 other ports refused to participate in the five-day-old walkout. A spokesman for the National Association of Port Employers said a third of Britain's 35,000 longshoremen had joined the strike, called by the leftist-led Transport and General Workers Union in support of the 25-week-old British coal strike.

Palestinian base attacked Israeli warplanes attacked a suspected Palestinian guerilla base three miles from the Syrian border Tuesday in their second raid on Lebanon's Bekaa Valley in two weeks, and dozens of people were reported killed or injured in the air raid.

Sunni and Shiite Moslem militiamen clashed early Tuesday - the first time in nine years of civil war the two groups have been reported fighting each other. Two people were killed and six others wounded.

Reporting on the Israeli air raid, Lebanon's government radio and police and hospital sources in Beirut said most of the casualties occurred when a three-story building used to house prisoners was hit and nearly demolished.

Soviets intensify efforts Soviet troops have intensified their war effort in eastern Afghanistan close to the Pakistan border, Western diplomatic sources said in Islamabad, Pakistan, Tuesday.

On August 23, 50 Soviet helicopter transports and gunships were seen leaving Kabul airport in the direction of Ghazni, capital of a province of the same name, and a shuttle continued until the next day, the diplomats said.

One report said the Afghan rebels shot down four Soviet helicopters outside Kabul late last week.

One word tells you why: Value.

Students have known for years that at Aaron Rents the word "value means more furniture, more quality, and more service for less money than anywhere else. Aaron Rents has the lowest rental rates, next-day delivery, a 3-month minimum rental period, and a showroom full of great-looking furniture.

School in Europe worth the price travel involves the plane flight

By Traci Baucom Associate Editor "For that much money you could buy a home computer!", a student said to me when he heard I was going to school in Europe this summer.

"Sure, but could you pass on stories, memories and pictures to future generations of your Apple II?", I asked.

It all began last spring semester when the CSU Public Information Office sent a news release to The Vista regarding summer school scholarships to the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. I had already been thinking about trying to slip a summer in Europe past the folks. This was the perfect opportunity, a way to combine travel and school while keeping everyone on the homefront happy.

I called Dr. Donald Hines of the humanities department and arranged to meet with him. Hines, who had attended the school last summer, helped me complete my application. I was surprised to learn that although five scholarships were offered only I and one other student were interested and had shown an interest.

I was accepted almost immediately and began to make plans. Having realized that a good deal of the cost of European

Alcorn Insurance Agency, Inc. Floyd Alcorn Ron Alcorn Agents

dent charter flights are also available for the same price or less.

Once you're in Europe most travel is done by train or boat, and again student discounts are

over and back, I decided to tack on two mini vacations—two weeks in Paris before school and one week in London after.

Travel Commentary The trip itself was not incredibly expensive. First I bought a student travel book which suggested many inexpensive ways to travel as well as good, cheap restaurants and clubs in most cities. I also bought an International Student Identification Card which offered discounts to just about every tourist attraction, theatre and museum I visited while there.

Europe does have a good system for students or anyone on a budget and currently the dollar is strong against most European currency. I managed to get a round trip flight from Houston to London on a "no-frills" airline which was $200 cheaper than most commercial airlines. Many stu-

offered. Their rail system is similar to our air system in that it is extensive and efficient. But travel by train in much cheaper and offers an opportunity to see the countryside.

There is much to be gained from travelling abroad. I had many first experiences. In Paris I saw my first Monet, watched my first socialist government at work, ate my first true French fry, saw my first flasher, my first beggar and got my first facefull of tear gas.

In the United Kingdom I ate and drank with the first true socialists and communists I had ever met, saw my first Rembrandt and Michelangelo, rode my first double-deck bus, saw my first heather and experienced living under/with a monarchy.

All in all, I think every cent I spent was well worth it.

By Eva Galipeau "The first complete history of the West's greatest grab for land," declares the Oklahoma Historical Society of the newest book written by Dr. Stan Hoig, professor of journalism here.

The Oklahoma Land Rush of 1880, Hoig's eighth book on the American West, provides a comprehensive account of the events which created the state of Oklahoma.

"The run is one of the most dramatic events in the nation's

history in terms of color and excitement," Hoig said. "It made front page headlines across the country."

Hoig's fascination with the old west began when he discovered what he perceived to be a void of information in that area.

"I like to take a vacuum that hasn't been researched and center my book on that," he explains. "I consider myself more a historical reporter than a writer. I strive for accuracy."

"There's a lot of misinformation in this area of history," Hoig said. "I think my book goes beyond a purely romantic view; I tried to tell the whole story."

To discover the whole story, Hoig spent nearly three years researching newspapers of the period as well as reading government documents and interviewing old-timers and their descendants.

"My book is more deeply researched than most written on the period," Hoig said. "The exciting thing is to discover something totally new that hasn't been documented before."

Oklahoma Land Rush chronicles the major events and influences on the run, but Hoig also goes beyond that to offer anecdotes of the smaller events and the people who were involved.

"One drunk passed out on a Kansas City box car, woke up when the train reached Oklahoma and was offered $800 for the land he was standing on," Hoig relates. "The period is full of col-

KCSC broadcasts 'Best of Jazz' festival

By Linda Jones Jazz from the 1984 Montreaux/Detroit Kool Jazz Festival will be broadcast live over CSU radio station KCSC 90.1 FM Friday through Monday.

"The four day broadcast will survey the best of jazz from the music of past greats to the contributions of today's artists," said Dr. Mike Dunn, KCSC manager.

"The broadcasts will originate from a large, riverside amphitheater in downtown Detroit, a city with an extraordinary, yet largely unheralded jazz legacy," Dunn said.

"Some of the city's most famous performers will join artists from Switzerland and England in a celebration of jazz,

its traditions, and its modern possibilities," Dunn added.

"The festival will open with The Contemporary Jazz Quintet, the legendary mid-1960's Detroit group that reunited in 1982 with a more mature, stylistic sound.

"Jazz afficionados and novices alike will enjoy the rythum and blues of The Lyman Woodward Organization," Dunn said.

The J.C. Heard Orchestra will perform classical material by Miles Davis, Horace Silver, Benny Golson, and Woody Shaw. Innovative, modern jazz will be represented by The Charles Boles Quintet, the "presentations" of Vishnu Wood and the Safari East Ensemble, and the extended improvisations of The Griot Galaxy.

Jazz listeners will recognize many names on the Festival's list of performers. Roy Brooks, one of the great jazz drummers, offers his band's eclectic sound and distinctive African feeling. Cornetist, Thad Jones will perform with Eddie Nuccilli's Plural Circle. Betty Carter, one of the world's great jazz singers will bring modernist improvisations.

The festival also features the American debut of two European bands. Jasata, based in Biel, Switzerland, has performed throughout Europe. Macondo, a British quartet, will perform a variety of jazz.

"The resulting production will be a mix of old and new, famous performers and rising young ar-

SID position requires versatility

..

By Tim Ray "I'm kind of pack rat by nature," said Doug Folks, talking about his ability to keep track of numerous statistics and assorted bits of information. "I've kept almost everything since I've been here."

Folks considers being a pack rat an asset in his job as sports information director at Central State University. As SID, Folks is in charge of producing all brochures, programs and press releases for the CSU athletic program in addition to serving as official scorer during home football and basketball games and keeping season and game statistics up to date.

A 1979 journalism graduate of CSU, Folks has been SID at the Edmond college for the past three

years after having worked on the sports desk at the Edmond Evening Sun. Folks considers sports writing for a newspaper and sports information writing to be in almost opposite directions.

"It's the objective versus the subjective," he said. "In sports writing you try to be objective.

I'm not too concerned with the negative. I try to be positive. I try to be realistic while being optimistic. Sometimes my problem is that I'm too realistic."

Folks stays busy year-round.

Even during the summer, which he considers his slack period, is kept busy planning for the upcoming year. He is currently nearing completion on the football brochure for the fall and does all the writing and paste-up for the publication.

When football season gets underway, Folks begins working seven days a week for the rest of the school year. He attends all CSU football games and 75 percent of the mens' basketball games. If he is not on the road with the Broncho cagers, he is home covering a womens' basketball game or a wrestling match.

Despite the long hours, there is a certain amount of recognition in a job where Folks has to make sure other people get their fair share of reward.

Last year's football brochure was rated sixth-best in the country and the football program was rated 10th, according to the NAIA Sports Information Directors Association. The wrestling brochure has been honored in each of Folks' three years at CSU.

Last year's brochure was written

by Dean Johnson, a senior from Duncan who works as student assistant to Folks during the school year, and edited by Folks.

"Dean's been with me since I came here. He became the staff," Folks said. "He works 20 hours a week plus numerous hours of extra time. He's a big help."

In addition to Johnson, other students often volunteer their time to keep statistics during games and to help afterward. Folks called these students invaluable.

Folks said his "pack rat" duties are often made easier if the team is having a good season.

"There are so many national statistics, that if a team is losing, it can be a real bear," he said.

"But if they're winning, I enjoy watching the stats stack up."

Heat calls for caution

By Ed Godfrey Sports Editor

As temperatures climb above the 100 mark in the Edmond area this week, health officials are advising people of the increased danger of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Dr. Gerry Pinkston, physical education instructor at CSU, warns that recreational athletes as well as collegiate and high school athletes should take precautions when exposed to the intense heat.

People can think they are feeling fine when in reality, they could be in danger Pinkston remarked .

"This is not a time when we (coaches) should be pushing anybody. Combined with the

I

humidity, it even feels hotter than what it really is," she said.

"Athletes have lived under the syndrome of not ever quitting.

Coaches have to really watch because they (athletes) don't want to tell you they're having problems."

and the person's skin will feel cold and clammy.

"Heat stroke and heat exhaustion are two different things," said Pinkston. "Exhaustion is usually not as life threatening a situation."

Pinkston said heat stroke occurs when the sweat mechanisms of the body fail and body temperature soars to 105. Warning signs of a heat stroke are the skin becoming hot and dry, the face appearing vividly red and the person becoming dizzy and disoriented.

Pinkston said people should take frequent breaks and drink lots of fluids if physically active in the heat. She said people should schedule their activity for either very early in the morning or very late in the evening.

Dizziness is also a sign of heat exhaustion, but a victim of heat exhaustion will sweat profusely

"People shouldn't exert themselves too much," she warns.

"Personally, I think people are crazy if they go out in the heat of the day in this situation."
