Campus organizations offer "Welcome Back" activities From Staff Reports

The Student Association, Wesley Foundation, Baptist Student Union and the fraternities and sororities on campus, have made 'coming back to school' a little easier. Dances, movies, cookouts and RUSH parties have been scheduled to make college life more than just taking notes.

The Student Association is sponsoring a video dance from 8-11 p.m. tonight in the University Center Ballroom. Also the movies, "Project X" and War Games" will be shown from 7-11 p.m. Thursday at the same location.

The Wesley Foundation, a Methodist sponsored organization held its "Welcome Back" ac-

Statement of Purpose The Vista publishes news of the university community each Tuesday and Thursday of the academic year and serves as a forum for the diverse opinions found on campus.

Although one of the paper's functions is to offer instruction to journalism students, The Vista has the broader mission of serving the entire campus.

All students and faculty are invited to contribute ideas, letters to the editor and news items.

While the staff appreciates comments about the paper, it should be remembered that deadline pressures and other factors may cause a less than perfect product. The editors, like all other students, have class responsibilities and other demands on their time.

But, a new beginning is here!

Share it with us and help us make this a wonderful year at CSU.

tivities during the first week of school. These included a Mexican party, Hawaii night, Italy night and a Bon Voyage hamburger fry.

A Bible study will be at 7 p.m. tonight and each Tuesday night throughout the semester.

Paul Overton, director of the foundation said they had a good turnout, with approximately 30 students attending. The foundation will also have a snack supper each Sunday night for students, due to the closed cafeteria.

A circus initiated the "Welcome Back" activities for the Baptist Student Union. Suzzane Lillard, associate director for the union said the attendance was between 250 — 300 people. Darrel Haley, a former CSU student will be giving a mini-concert at 12:35 p.m. Wednesday.

RUSH parties will given by fraternities and sororities during the first five weeks of school, for members, initiates and other students who wish to attend.

The Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity will have a "Welcome Back" party from 6-10 p.m. tonight at 911 Washington. Other parties include a "Wild West" from 8-11 p.m. Thursday, a "50s sockhop" from 8-11 p.m. Sept. 9 and a "Safari" from 8-11 p.m. Sept.

15.

The Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity will have a "Casino" party at 8 p.m. Wednesday at 303 E. Ayers. Thursday night will include a "Hot Tub" party at Ox-

ford Oaks Apts., 1920 E. 2nd at 8 p.m The Kappa Sigma fraternity will have a RUSH party from 8-11 p.m. Wednesday and every Wednesday during the month of September at 217 E. Ayers. The fraternity had a "Welcome Back" party with KATT radio last Saturday evening.

The Alpha Tau Omega fraternity will have a "Winter in September" , party from 8 p.m.

— 12 a.m. Wednesday at 319 E. Main.

The Alpha Gamma Delta sorority will have its RUSH party at 8 p.m. Thursday night at 425 N. Jackson. At press time, the theme of the party had not been decided.

The Sigma Kappa Sorority will have an "Open House" party at 7 p.m. Wednesday at 920 N. Chowning.

"This party is especially designated for freshman who are unable to go through formal RUSH, so they can see the fraternity house and get to know the members," Kristy Sahl, Sigma Kappa member said.

The sorority will also have a formal dance from 8 p.m. — 12 a.m. Sept. 19 at the Old Armory, 400 N. Boulevard.

The Delta Zeta sorority has nothing in particular planned for "Welcome Back." RUSH was held the week before school started and ended Aug. 22.

At approximately 10:35 a.m. Friday the fire alarm at the west end of the Liberal Arts building was pulled by a prankster, causing students to evacuate the building. The building was secured and students were allowed to re-enter the building at 10:45 a.m.

Lillard discusses university changes A multi-curricular building, a double-decker parking lot and better informed enrollment printouts, were some of the future considerations for the university that CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard discussed with the Student Association at its Aug. 31 meeting.

Lillard said the university is considering the possibility of building a multi-story building for the purpose of providing students with more classroom space. He said the building would be used for several areas. It would house different classes, seminars and physics facilities, to name a few.

The new building would be visible from 2nd Street and would cost between 4.5 to 5 million dollars. Lillard intends on requesting the money when regents go in to its next session. The niversity will be able to contribute $750,000 toward the building expenses. Lillard forsees the construction to begin during the '89-'90 school year.

Parking was the second issue Lillard said he would like to improve. He said he would like to see the university center parking

lot renovate into a two or possible three level parking lot. Lillard said he would like to get this underway in the next two years.

Li(lard's final issue discussed with the Assoication was the general fees stated on the corn-

puter printouts given to students at enrollment.ln the past the printout showed that a student paid general fees, without any indication of where the money was going to.

The printouts that will be

distributed in spring will have the fees broken down into categories so that students can see where their money is going to. Lillard said this was not done this fall because they needed to finish using the previous forms.

Associate Editor

The purpose of my article published in the Aug. 27 edition of The Vista was not to demean the adjunct professors recently added to the journalism faculty. The credentials of these instructors are quite impressive. The alternative solution this semester would have been too few professors and a severly cut department offering of classes.

But I still am unable to understand why the journalism department over the last year has been unable to employ a full-time professor.

This is the third advisor to the yearbook in three years. The third professor to teach non-fiction writing in two years, etc. I have not seen this type of merry-go-round in other departments.

The journalism department at CSU has been highly accredited throughout the state. The students graduating from here have received much more hands-on experience than at most universities in Oklahoma. We receive a number of transfer students from both in and out of the state. A large part of these come to CSU because of our reputation.

I fear our credibility may suffer if the administration does not begin to take this situation seriously. Or is this their intent? I would think not as this certainly reflects on the university as a whole.

Quality education has been a thorn in Oklahoma's side for as long as I can remember. The ones that continue to suffer are the students.

Words of gospel song ease life's troubles

By Mary Butler

I open my eyes to the sound of morning news And wish for ten more minutes left to sleep And as I get into the shower, thoughts of facing one more day Overwhelm me and I begin to weep

The drama seems to fade from the words of this song without the powerful music and voice of Leslie Phillips behind them. All that's left are a few simple, common words.

Perhaps that illustrates the gift of the talented gospel performer who, in a few words, simply expresses the feelings we all face when dealing with common problems.

People say college is the easiest time of your life. But as I wade through this period of my life, a time that a professor last week dubbed "the most significant period of self improvement in your life," I have decided that those

people have probably never attempted college survival.

This four to eight year period of time, depending on your plan of attack, i.e. number of attemped majors, locations of schools, degree of social involvement or financial situation, is an intensified pack of hurts and fears, pressures and struggles, and frustration and growth.

I've been able to relate to Leslie Phillips words many a morning in my college career.

And throughout my higher education adventures I have seen at least two means of survival.

First there's drugs, anything from crack to Corona. If you want to get away from reality bad enough, someone can set you up with something that'll work. Unfortunately for some, whatever works is a way of life.

Then there's solution number two, commonly used by those desiring a

heathly crop of brain fibers or a functioning liver.

Though my tears are pushed away now for the sake of morning rush 'til the Bible on the table catches my eye And I read that You are near to the hearts that break with grief And I realize that I don't have to try To live life myself `cuz you're ready to help me live

God? Say what you will, but he's real. He alive and he cares. And for me, he works, everyday.

The purpose of this commentary?

To remind those of you who know God that he's there everyday, and to inform those of you who don't that he's there for you, too.

Everyday I look to you to be the strength of my life, Breath on me and make me new, be the strength of my life.

Non-essentials given priority over needed parking To the editor:

Why are non-essentials given priority over the much needed parking facilities around the Administration building?

Students and staff still need a place to park their cars around or near this business building. Witness the office workers parking out in the residential

neighborhood off campus. Parking on side streets competes with both business and residents.

For example, notice the large number of tow away car victims across from the Administration building at a "private" parking lot. Who is to blame for this problem?

There is property for sale in this area that could be converted to parking lot spaces. The Methodist Church people bought a house and tore it down to make their private parking lot.

Name withheld by request

Student dislikes decal; suggests contest To the editor:

In the past four years, it has become quite apparent that CSU's parking stickers have severely missed the mark in good taste. As one CSU student simply put it, "they get uglier every year."

Unfortunately, this student chose to make this remark in front of several CSU police officers. Needless to say, they were not amused.

The officers were also quick to point out that the parking stickers are free, you do not have to pay for them. Even though this is true, there should not be

any reason that CSU could not have a cleverly designed attractive parking sticker.

Considering that CSU is predominantly a commuter college, with students for the most part who do not attend campus functions, the only type of real school spirit that students may have, is the display of CSU's parking sticker on their car windshield.

Now there's nothing inherently wrong with that, so long as the parking sticker isn't some ugly, funny colored rectangle blob.

It is also clear that due to the large number of students who drive and display the CSU parking sticker, it should represent CSU in a more positive way. The best and cheapest way CSU could get more creatively designed parking stickers, would be to hold a student design contest.

CSU could ask students for submissions in the spring for the design of the new fall parking stickers. The winner could win some sort of small tuition waiver for the fall.

News: World, state and local Iraq escalates gulf war

For the first time since July 20, Iraq has struck out against Iranian targets in the Persian Gulf.

Iraq said its aircraft attacked six different targets during this past weekend, including Iran's Kharg oil terminal.

Iraq said the attacks were designed to keep Iran from using increased oil revenues to continue the war between the two countries.

Iran is reported to have said it will retaliate with "a crushing response" if its oil exports are threatened and said no targets in the region would be immune.

Currently the sixth U.S. Navy escorted convoy of tankers has entered the gulf.

South Africa mine strike ends South Africa's largest and costliest mine strike ended Sunday after mine management fired tens of thousands of strikers.

The National Union of Mine Workers settled for the management's last offer before the strike and claimed victory, even after management refused to yeild in negotiations.

The union said Sunday that 400 striking workers were arrested during the three-week walk out involving 230,000 union members. Nine miners were killed during the strike, the largest since a 1946 strike when about 100,000 miners walked away from their jobs. That strike lasted a few days and troops were called in to break it.

The offer accepted by the union contained only slight improvements in benefits over an offer it overwhelmingly rejected earlier before the striking workers were fired.

Scholarship taxes proposed

By J. Money

Associate editor Any college students out there who have been having a hard time paying their bills? As if the high cost of going to school isn't enough, the Internal Revenue Service is fixing to get in on the action.

Just when you thought it was enough to tax your income, your interest and the air you breath, now big brother wants to start taxing scholarships and grants.

Finding any written material on this is a little hard, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) just came out with this scheme yesterday.

If I understand the material I have seen so far, it breaks down to something like this.

The taxes will be levied on students who go to school on scholarships for services they provide, such as football and other sports activities. Even academic

scholarships won't be spared.

Taxes won't be paid on the entire scholarship or grant a person receives, though. Taxes will only be paid on the amount of funds a student receives beyond the amount it will actually cost the student to go to school. That's nice of the IRS, isn't it?

This information could bare plenty of potential problems for athletes, musicians, and anyone else who goes to school on a scholarship or grant.

Not only that. The taxes will be levied against all aid that is declared "taxable" received by students since Sept. 16, 1986.

That could create more heartache, not only for students, but also for the IRS worker, who would be forced to track down possible offenders and make them pay up.

What does all this mean? Well, it's actually too soon to tell yet.

But if the financial aid office is

swamped now, what will it be like if the IRS's proposal is passed into law?

I hope the IRS's latest proposal is not passed. If it is, I'll have to dig up my financial aid records and figure out what, if any, additional tax I will owe. Just what I wanted to do, in addition to the zillion other things a college student must do.

But, if it all does come to pass, there is a good side. Many of the students who get financial assistance in the form of scholarships or grants which give spending money, living expenses, or what ever you want to call additional funds, may want to just take scholarships or grants for just the cost of going to school.

Think of how much money that might free up for other students who are denied when they apply for a simple academic scholarship?

Aquino calls coup attempt assassination in disguise President Aquino was quoted to say the aim of the rebels was clearly to kill the president and her family after an attempted coup ripped through Manila last week.

Benigno Aquino III was wounded and three of his bodyguards were killed Friday when the attempted coup began at the presidential palace after he identified himself as the president's son.

The coup concentrated attacks against the presidential palace, several key military bases and the state broadcast center. The rebel leader and hundreds of armed mutineers remain at large, and all traffic has been stopped entering and leaving Manila trying to catch them.

Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile, fired defense minister, said he has been blamed for the mutiny attempt which wounded 275 and killed at least 25.

Enrile said the government should take into account what the rebels said was one of their main reasons for the revolt: the nation's 18-year-old communist movement and the government's inability to control it.

Special project funding questioned by lawmaker More than $350,000 of money tagged for the state agriculture department is being used to fund several rual fire departments, prompting Rep. Joe Heaton, ROklahoma City, to ask the attorney general for an opinion if the Legislature can legally fund special projects without listing them on spending bills.

State Finance Office records show the money, appropriated to the agriculture department for unspecified reasons, was appropriated out by state lawmakers after the Legislature adjourned in July.

The Commerce Department and Water Resources Board are also interested in the attorney general's opinion because it could affect money they have set aside for pork barrel projects also.

Edmond official cleared; investigation continues After being cleared of allegations of criminal misconduct, City Special Projects Administrator Charles Pfeiffer is still under investigation.

Pfeiffer was suspended with pay Aug. 24 after Sandefur received information indicating that rental receipts had been paid directly to Pfeiffer while he was involved in the Lake Arcadia project.

Edmond City Attorney Max Speegle said Pfeiffer, whose office management practices are being examined, would remain suspended with pay until a final audit of his office was completed.

Count Dracula (Duncan Regehr), Frankenstein (Tom Noonan), Mummy (Michael When Gill-Man (Tom Woodruff, Jr.), MacKay), and the Wolfman (Carl Thibault) descend upon a small community, the young heroes of The Monster Squad must battle those formidable foes.

"Stakeout"

Seattle detectives Chris Lecce (Richard Dreyfuss) and Bill Reimers (Emilio Estevez) have just pulled the worst assignment duty roster: a nightshift stakeout.

Adding to their unenthusiam is the fact that they must work under the thumb of the FBI, assisting the agency in its efforts to capture escaped con and copkiller Richard "Stick" Montgomery (Aidan Quinn).

Assured that Montgomery is headed for the home of exgirlfriend Maria McGuire (Madeleine Stowe), the Feds dispatch Lecce and Reimers to watch McGuire's apartment. At first surveillance is unexciting, and the partners must resort to their favorite pastime -- bickering -- to occupy the hours. But as the night progresses, the boys soon realize that this is no routine stakeout.

They may or may not find their man, but Lecce's finds his woman.

If you like comedy, romance

and suspensful chase sends, then this movie is for you. It's detective comedy at it's best.

"The Monster Squad" The full moon rises over a small town and a man suddenly squirms and shudders as he is transformed into a twisted deformity that is half-man, half-wolf. A mad but brilliant doctor fashions an oversized male monster from the spare parts of the unknown dead. A bat, hideous and hysterical, feverishly flaps its webbed wings as, into the darkness, a vampire prince is born.

When a group of daring and curious kids from a small town gather to confront their favorite boogeyman, the scene is set for the ultimate battle between good and evil as all their worst nightmares suddenly become terrifyingly real.

What do you get when you cross Frankenstein, Count Dracula and a werewolf? In this

movie you get a cast of burnt out characters with an even weaker plot.

The squad consists of four preteen kids led by Andre Gower (Sean), accompanied by Robby Kiger (Patrick), Brent Chalem (Horace), and Ryan Lambert (Rudy) . Sean's sister Phoebe played by Ashley Banks, befriends Frankenstein.

It might be entertaining for your kid brother or sister. But if you go, take along a book to read.

"Maid To Order" A spirited comedy about a young woman forced to learn an enchanted lesson concerning life and love.

money has only made her more capricious.

After one of Jessie's stunts lands her in jail for the night, her father sadly remarks that he sometimes wishes he had never had a daughter. Unbeknownst to the dad, Fairy Godmother Stella (Beverly D'Angelo) hears his plea and decides to grant his wish.

"Maid To Order" tells the story of a spoiled heiress who wakes up one morning alone and penniless.

Stipped of cash, credit cards and recognition of her family's name, she winds up a relucant maid in the home of a neurotic talent agent Stan Starkey (Dick Shawn) and his equally preoccupied wife Georgette (Valerie Perrine).

A fairy tale transposed, the cast is varied and skillful, however, due to the foreseen plot (we all know the story of Cinderella), their talents are not tested.

Overall, a light comedy guaranteed to make you laugh and forget your cares. But remember be careful what you wish for --it might come true.

"Nadine" Austin, 1954. Just your basic, sleepy Texas town. Nadine Hightower (Kim Basinger) dreams of better days but for now, she barely scrapes by at the Alamo Beauty Parlor. Vernon Hightower (Jeff Bridges) owns a bar called the Bluebonnet Lounge.

Cut from the same cloth, what these two have in common is a last name and a failed marriage. But a funny thing happens on the way to their divorce... they fall in love and find a whole lot of trouble.

It seems Nadine broke into someone's office to take something that belonged to her, mistakenly walked out with something that belonged to someone else, and witnessed a murder in the process.

She now must turn to the one person who can help her out of this mess -- Vernon Hightower.

Nadine and Vernon Hightower.

The cops want her, the killers want him, they want a divorce.

Ain't love grand.

Basinger and Bridges are marvelous together. A comedythriller that combines romance and suspense that equals a sensory smorgasbord.

Gay issue views differ in survey

By J. Money

Associate editor This story is part two of a three part installment regarding a

survey conducted by Dr. Thomas E. Guild, assistant professor of political science. Part one of the survey appeared in Thursday's

issue of The Vista.

As reported in part one, the survey was conducted with one thousand 1986 Republican activists and several fall 1985 CSU classes. Appoximately 480 Republicans completed the survey and returned it. Guild said the percentages are not completely accurate, because some of the respondents answered more than one time on given questions, and others didn't answer some of the questions.

The topic covered by the first installment was abortions and the attitudes possessed by the two groups polled. This installment will cover the section of the survey which dealt with Gay Issues and the differences of opinion as expressed on the surveys by the activists and students.

The specific areas within the topic of gay issues that this installment addresses, include lifestyle, equal rights in job opportunities, the legal issue, Christianity and crime.

This is August?

Cool winds blew across the campus Thursday with the passage of a cold front which reminded Leah Tennison (left) and Linda Kudy that the end of summer is near.

"The differences in the way the activists answered the questions opposed to the students could be caused by the generation difference of the groups," Guild said.

Guild said the students tend to fall in the 18-30 year-old group, which tends to be more supportive of gay issues than the group the activists belong to, the 40-55 yearold generation.

"It is simply unacceptable for the 40-55 year-old group to talk about homosexuality," Guild said.

The lifestyle portion of the survey showed a difference of opinion between the students and activists. Thirty one point two per-

cent of the students who answered the question "should homosexuality be considered an acceptable life style" said yes, but only eight percent of the activists agreed.

In addition, when asked if most homosexuals would rather be homosexual, 51.5 percent of the students said that was the case, while only 23 percent of the activists thought so.

Whether or not homosexuals should have equal rights in job opportunities and whether they should hold jobs in five professions also showed a difference between the way students and activists thought.

Sixty six point fifteen percent of the students who responded thought homosexuals should have equal rights in terms of job opportunities, but only 32 percent of the activists agreed.

When asked if homosexuals should be hired for five various occupations, students also responded with more tolerance than the activists did.

In the area of salespersons, 76 percent of the students thought homosexuals should be hired, while only 46 percent of the activists agreed.

When it came to the armed forces, 48.4 percent of students who responded said homosexuals should be hired, while only 23 percent of the activists agreed.

Fifty percent of the students who responded said homosexuals should be hired as doctors, but only 23 percent of the activists thought so.

When it came to homosexuals working in the clergy, 42.8 percent of the students who responded said they should be hired, while

only 12 percent of activists who responded agreed.

Forty one point two percent of the students who responded said homosexuals should be hired as elementary school teachers, while only 11 percent of the activists agreed.

As to whether or not homosexual relations between consenting adults should or should not be legal, Guild stressed that many activists wrote comments to the side of the question saying that it shouldn't be illegal, but that they thought it was morally wrong.

Sixty five percent of the activists said homosexual relations between consenting adults should not be legal. Only 42 percent of the students who responded to the poll thought it should not be legal.

Sixteen percent of the activists who responded to the poll said they felt that a homosexual could be a good Christian or a good Jew. Forty four point nine percent of the students who responded said they felt that a homosexual could be a good Christian or Jew. When the two groups were asked if homosexuals were compared to non-homosexuals, would homosexuals be more involved in crimes, 36 percent of the activists responded they would be, while only seven point eight percent of the students felt that was true.

Guild said that both student and activist opinions could be different now in relationship to the broad topic of homosexuality because of the enlarged publicity of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and the disease's relationship to homosexual behavior.

Ph9e4 Freshmen surprises and steady arms anchor offense

By Mary Butler Sports editor There's an unlikely cast of characters up front and running on the Broncho football team this season, a trio of first year running backs who Coach Gary Howard said would be playing a lot of CSU football.

"It's kind of an unusual situation to have a group of freshmen who could contribute so much," said Howard. "I'm just real pleased with the newcomers," said the Broncho mentor now in his 11th season.

Eric Chatman, Pinkey Hurley and Terrance Jones, heirs apparent to the likes of John Sterling, Eddie Goodlow and Alvin Ross, former CSU runners who are now strutting their stuff in the National Football League, have caught Howards eye.

Chatman, a 185, 6'1" tailback, was a highly touted schoolboy standout out of Wichita Falls, Texas. Pinkey Hurley, a 5'10 tailback comes from Fox, Okla., while Ter-

ranee Jones, a 5'10" running back calls Tulsa home.

In addition to his three-pronged-punch from the backfield, Howard's dynamic-duo at the quarterback slot should pocket a few wins for the young Broncho unit.

Glynn Walker, a three year letterman out of Clinton, anchors the CSU aerial assault, having thrown for 3,778 career yards and 26 touchdowns while boasting a .438 completion percentage.

Walker is in line to break at least six school records including most plays, yards passing, total offense and touchdowns.

Walker's counterpart, the versatile Reggie Smith, provides the second half of the Broncho's one-two QB attack.

Despite his part-time starting role last season, the 6'0" option-man out of Tulsa lead CSU to a 39-33 upset of highly regarded Eastern Washington University.

The junior letterman tossed two touchdowns, rushed 112 yards and scored a

pair of six-pointers on his own to stun the Spokane, Wash. unit on their own turf.

"Our quarterback depth is as good as anyone we face," said Howard. "It's definately one of our stong points this season," he added.

"A steady hand at QB is what we need. A good place to start is with the strength of a QB," Howard said. "The experience we have at this position is meshing good with the young enthusiasm of our freshmen," he said.

Another Broncho pre-season strength Howard speaks highly of is the maturity of his offensive line.

"We don't have a lot of experience but our older people are doing a real good job," said Howard.

"Buck Irwin has made a 100 percent turn around. He worked real hard in the summer and is stepping into a starting postion and accepting the responsibility that goes along with it real well," Howard added.

Irwin, in his third year as a Broncho is a 6'6" offensive lineman out of Valliant, Okla.

"Lance Hutson is our lone returning starter up front and he's doing an excellent job in pre-season as well," said Howard.

"The key to a good offense is a minimun number of mental errors on the offensive line and our guys are doing an excellent job," added Howard.

But despite the rosy picture, the Broncho offense has quite a task ahead.

"Right now we just really lack game experience," said Howard. We just haven't been in the limelight. We don't have that many people that have been there," he added.

"Because of our inexperience, anybody we go up against for the first two weeks is going to be a tough game," Howard said.

Coming in Thursday's issue: a

look at the Broncho defense.

Conference leap not just a step up Sports editor Everyone knows the Bronchos are taking a step up. CSU's Lone Star Conference/NCAA leap has been well publicized for months.

But does anyone know just how big a leap Coach Howards gang is attempting?

For starters, the eight team conference managed to wind up with three teams, West Texas State, Texas A&I and Abiliene Christian in the top 10 NCAA Division II national rankings by Football News.

In addition four LSC teams are ranked in the top 20 on the NCAA Division II all-time victory list.

Ironically, despite its successful tradition, the Lone Star Conference has been overlooked by the NCAA playoff selection committee. The conference champion does not receive one of the eight NCAA Division II post-season bids.

The Texas A&I Javelinas are heavily favored to claim the '87 LSC crown.

Last season, the Texas crew ranked up a 9-2 season record and ended up ranked 8th in the NCAA final poll, 4th in the Football News and 5th by Dunkel.

The Javelinas, along with 24 returning lettermen, 18 starters, boast one of the country's top one-two rushing combos.

All-American tailback Johnny Baily has totaled 2,011 yards and scored 18 touchdowns while mate Heath Sherman has scampered for 1,515 yards and 23 touchdowns.

West Texas State, last years LSC champ, swept the conference with a 6-0 record.

The Buffalos dropped from Division I-AA to Division II to compete in the conference in '86 and is listed as the number two team in the conference pre-season poll conducted by Texas A&I University.

Abilene Christian, last season's co-runner up, along side A&I, is projected to claim third place.

The Wildcats finished last season at 7-3.

CSU will take the place of Howard Payne University who withdrew from the LSC after competing for nearly fifty years in the conference. The Yellow

Jackets had to settle for a disappointing 0-10 record in '86.

The Bronchos wound up fifth in the conference pre-season poll ahead of Eastern New Mexico and East Texas State.

Miss Oklahoma honored at campus reception

By Kevin Hunter

Student Writer A reception honoring Miss Oklahoma was held in the Heritage Room of the University Center August 27. The event preceeded the former CSU student's departure for the Atlantic City, N.J. competition in the Miss America pageant.

Leesa Cornett, age 20, who majored in vocal music education at CSU before winning the Miss Oklahoma pageant this past summer, said she plans to return to school at CSU after her term as

Miss Oklahoma expires. Cornett said that if she wins the Miss America title, she would consider a modeling career, though she really would like to return to Oklahoma to teach to elementary age children.

The three-year CSU student said the Miss Oklahoma title was the culmination of ten years of prior beauty pageants. She added that winning the title put her in such a state of shock that she could hardly remember winning the title, which was one of the most important events of her life.

consultation with Arthur Lipper, publisher of Venture magazine and with Julie Brice, chief executive of ICBIY. The owners of ICBIY were initially SMU students. Needing extra money the brother and sister team of Julie and Bill Brice went to work at a local yogurt shop which was struggling financially.

The Brice's felt they had some valuable marketing strategies so together they pooled $10,000 and purchased the store. That was approximately 10 years ago. Today there are over 100 ICBIY franchises in the United States.

"Although we purchased the stores when frozen yogurt hadn't caught on, we saw the growing trend toward fitness and nutrition and knew there was a niche for frozen yogurt," said Ms. Brice, 28, chief executive of Dallasbased ICBIY. The deadline for the proposal is Oct. 31. Competition is open to all full-time undergraduate students of accredited colleges or universities in the United States.

Prizes will be awarded to the top ten finalists.

Judging will be based on originality, creativity, business stratgy, feasibility and clarity of written presentation.

Entry forms and additional information can be obtained from Mr. Edwards in room 105 of Thatcher Hall or by calling the ICBIY contest clearinghouse at 1-800-54-ICBIY.
