More loan funds possible for university r.
By Charles Gaylor Students need not be fearful of Central State losing any money for National Direct Student Loans (NSDLs) according to Sherry Hancock, director of financial aid at CSU. The national loan program allows students to borrow up to $6,000 in their undergraduate years at an interest rate of 5 percent. "The default rate is really very low," Hancock said. Education Secretary, Terrell H. Bell described in late July that schools with a default rate of 25 percent or more would be dropped from the loan program. A loan can be declared in default if it is unpaid for four months, said Hancock, and CSU has about a ten percent rate of default. "We haven't received any new money yet, because Congress is still working on the budget," she said. In the regulation that Bell signed last month is a provision where schools that have a default rate of ten percent or less could be eligible for extra funding in a redistribution of
moneys left over in the program. CSU stands a chance of getting some of that money according to Hancock. "About five or six weeks ago, schools were supposed to file with the Education Department a request for additional funding," said Hancock, "but I've only been here since June and I don't know if the director before me filed the request or not. I'd imagine that she did and I just haven't found the paper on it yet" Other universities in Oklahoma aren't worried bout the new regulations either. Glenn Chavis, associate director of financial aids at the University of Oklahoma said that the only concern they have at OU is that the money is late. Chavis said that the default rate at OU is low, averaging about 8 percent, but added that OU employs a full-time collection agency for its loans. Langston University had a default rate of 70 percent several years ago causing that school to be dropped from
the NDSL program in 1979 according to Jackie Todd, financial aid director there. The school however is able to fund some 500 students through repayment of NDSLs of previous years, but no new money has been allotted to the school. Since 1979 the rate of default has fallen to about half of the '79 rate and Todd said that if the rate continues to fall, then the school could possibly be readmitted to the program. While the new restrictions seemed aimed for the schools and not at the students who fail to keep their contractural agreements, yet another change in the program has been advanced by Oklahoma Senator, Don Nichols. The first term Republican wants to add a grade point restriction to the loans requiring that students maintain a 2.0 grade point to remain eligible for the moneys. Nichols even wants President Ronald Reagan to call a special session of Congress to vote on the matter, but no session has been called.
Lillard hopeful about new budget still waiting on word from regents By Charles Gaylor Work on the 1983-84 budget for CSU began late last week in a budget conference of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. In the Thursday afternoon meeting, school officials and the regents discussed the school's needs for next year to be presented to the state legislature when it reconvenes in January. Budget requests are made for the entire higher education system, not for individual schools, acccording to David Blakeman, spokeman for the state regents.
Budget requests were made for the university last week at the budget conference of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. Dr. Bill Lillard, CSU president, said on Monday that CSU plans to add four programs to the curriculum. Two of these are master's programs adding a master's in biology and one in applied mathematics. Also added were two bachelor programs in humanities and in solar technology. "We would like to get all four of these programs," said Lillard, "but realistically we won't. But with the success of last years requests where we were able to add the new classes, we feel that we won't do to badly."
In general, Lillard said that the university is asking for a 21 percent increase for the 1983-84 school year which begins July 1, 1983. "For this school year, we received about $27 million dollars, and last Thursday our initial request was for about $33 million. Of course the regents will evaluate our request and then lower it, and the legislature will do the same. So we're still waiting to see what the final amount will be," commented Lillard. Budgeting for the school year works something like this: Each school tells the budget committee the number of programs it plans to have for that year. They then go over the cost of new programs that they wish to add and advise the committee as to the number of programs that will be dropped. Then, an estimate is made of the number of students who will be in each program and how much each program will cost on a per-student basis.
"Our initial request was for about $33 million. Of course the regents will evaluate or request and lower it. We're still waiting to see what the final amount will be," commented Lillard From this estimate the estimated tuition and fees are then

subtracted from the first estimate. This estimate is then added to the estimates of 26 other colleges and universities. After all this, the budget is then presented to the state legislature for approval and funding. Lillard said that the results of last years budget is encouraging because, while many states were cutting budgets for higher education, Oklahoma increased its spending.
Oklahoma schools received an increase in spending while other states were cutting budgets for higher education. Also, Lillard said that the regents were very positive about the way things were going on the CSU campus, giving him an overall impression that the approved budget will be a good one. He pointed out that the budget request deals with school programs and not with capital improvements for physical facilities. Lillard added, "With our continually growing enrollment, our future looks very good."

New and old members work together on new routines for this year's incarnation of the Pom-Pom Squad during work-outs earlier this week.
Ryan promoted to Dean of Students Dudley Ryan, previously the associate dean of students, has been promoted to title of the dean of students. The new title moves Ryan one step above Associate Dean of Students Deanna Land. Under the new title, Ryan will resume the same responsibilities he carried out as associate dean and director of student services. The promotion was effective July 1. Ryan said the promotion was part of the normal steps that a student service official makes. Prior to his duty as associate dean, Ryan served under the title of dean of men, while Land was dean of women. That title was changed to take out the sex-biases, said Ryan, allowing both to work with all students. Dean Ryan and Dean Land also work closely
with the Native American Conselor James Noley. After receiving a bachelor's of science degree in industrial arts and a master's in guidance and counseling, Ryan moved on to Southeast High School, where he served on the faculty as a distributive education teacher from 1961-66. He came aboard the administrative staff at CSU with the title of director of student activities serving there until his promotion to dean of men. While carrying out his duties as dean, Ryan has presided over the Inter-fraternity counsel. This is the governing body of the campus' fraternities and sororities. Ryan has also served as a faculty senator.

Phone system in dark ages; needs immediate assistance Letter to the editor:
Atari, intelevision, pac man, and space invaders are all modern sophisicated technology that reminds us that we are truly in the computer age. This is true until we reach the campus of CSU. My fellow friends, don't misunderstand my point of view, for I realize without computers this article would not be in the paper. Indeed, the campus of CSU has several computers that makes life a little bit simpler. Let me stop this discussion and state the fact that CSU has a phone system that has been in existence since the dark ages. To tell the correct time it would be 1965. Indeed the phone system that was installed in the basement of Murdaugh Hall was new in 1965, however, that was some 17 years ago! There is much satisfaction in work well done; praise is sweet; but there can be no happiness equal to the joy of finding a heart that understands. Victor Robinson.

The intent of this editorial is not to criticize the administration or anyone else as far as that concern, but make the university aware of the old phone system that now exists. Those of you who do not work on campus or have never tried to call the campus long distance may stop reading this article right now. Fortunately, you do not know the hassles involved in trying to work with switchboard operaters who are having to work with old equipment. I can rejoice in one sence, for I have discovered that the administration has looked at the problem and have studied several sophisicated systems to replace the present one. This is great, but when can we have the new system? Next time the CSU regents have a meeting, I hope this issue will not only be discussed but also some action taken as well. Presently, there are 29 incoming lines on the switchboard and it is not uncommon to have all 29 lit up at once. Try calling off-campus between 1:30 and 4:45 p.m. or certain times in the morning, watch how long it takes before the busy signal is finally over. Nevertheless, I should give honor to whom honor is due. I think the operators are doing a fantastic job in keeping the phone system running as smooth as possible. No telling how much better they could work if they had an updated system. I love the trees, the flowers and all the landscape work that is taking place on campus. I am overjoyed with the additional classrooms, buildings and renovations that are happening on campus. However, it is time to do something with the old phone system that should be ready to "kick the bucket." It is odd that tution, housing and books have all increased and I am so tired of people using Reagan and inflation as a scapegoat for this. If it cost more to go to a university, you should expect some improvements somewhere, or just where in the world is all the money going to? Southwestern Bell has a slogan that summarizes this editorial best. They sing, "reach out and touch someone", well, Ma Bell, isn't it time that you reach out and touch CSU? Then CSU could truly live in an computer age. Dwayne Long
WELL, THAT'S THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT! Anonymous evalation only way for truthful appraisal Letter to the editor: So the teachers are upset about the
anonymous evaluations again, huh! It is my feeling that an anonymous evaluation is the ONLY way to get a truthful one. If I was a teacher, I don't believe I would want to know who might have been critical of me. I would want to try my level best to determine the difference between the serious critiques and the vindictive ones. I would divide the evaluations into two piles and go by which ever pile is higher, but also give some thought to
the others, as well. Teachers need to be objective, not defensive. Criticism always makes one want to lash out. Teachers should be willing to accept their shortcomings and learn and grow, also. Growing is not just for students If you find yourself being criticized, don't get mad, try to change! Sometimes the truth hurts. Sheri Sweet ProgrammerAnalyst Evans Hall

Half of the 86 classes in freshman English composition were juggled when 23 foreign-born teaching assistants were reassigned at Oklahoma State University this fall. The assistants were switched to writing laboritories and research projects two weeks prior to fall semester, with the vacancies filled by part-time and senior instructors. A memo citing doubts about their verbal English skills accompanied the reassignments.

Clarinet donated to CSU by Kathi Rawls
Before settling down in Guthrie, Mike Simpson spent 40 years on the road as a musician, composer and arranger.
"You could put it like this, it doesn't make very good coffee, so I gave it to the school," said Mike Simpson, employee of the CSU maintenance department. Simpson, former freelance musician, composer and arranger, recently donated a contra-bass clarinet to the music department. Contra means an octave lower and this unique quality raises the value of the instrument to almost $4,000. "I sold my other 11 instruments," Simpson said, "but I kind of like it here so I gave it to them." Simpson's work in maintenance, chemically treating water, differs completely from his previous career in music. He
worked in and out of Chicago and Los Angeles for 30 years in the entertainment business. "In the recording business it's music you've never seen, much less played and outside the door are five guys hoping you'll blow it so they can take your place," said the Hobart-born retiree. Competition for maintenance work at CSU isn't as stiff and Simpson insists he doesn't miss that aspect of music at all. Having lived in such places as the Republic of South Africa, Baleares and Spain, Oklahoma is a drastic change. Illness in the family brought him home and he now lives on 40 acres southeast of Guthrie where he continues to work on his home and garden. Simpson has done all types of
work ranging from composing radio and TV jingles to conducting recordings and live concerts. The list doesn't stop there, however. In the late 1930's he played with and arranged for various dance bands, like Art Kassel, Jack Teagarden and Ralph Martire. Later he recorded under his own name. After achieving such success in the fast-paced music business, life in Edmond and a career at CSU would seem anti-climatic. "As a young man you save all your money to get to the city and then when you're older you save all your money to get back to the country," Simpson explains. His sincerity is obvious as he walks away with his bushel of home-grown tomatoes.

Media ethics to be topic of institute Registration will end Sept. 7 for a journalism ethics instiute at CSU. Entitled "Institute in News Media Ethics," the program will begin at 5:30 and last until 9:30 the nights of Sept. 7- 10 in the Communications Building. Dennie Hall, assistant professor of journalism at CSU and institute director, said the speakers and panelists will tackle a variety of ethical questions in newspaper, television and radio. Hall said more and more scrutiny is in store for the news media. One example is the intensity of the debate at the recent convention of the American Bar Association. Lawyers on a panel hurled charges and insults at the media and the media people on
the panel answered the questions kindly. The institute will also deal with the growing criticisms of the media and suggest some solutions. "Like any forum on ethics, it may provide more food for thought than it does answers," commented Hall. Speakers in the institute will include Dr. Richard Allen, minister of the First Unitarian Church in Oklahoma City; Dr. William Steng, journalism professor at Oklahoma State University; Jack Zimmerman, assistant managing editor of the Oklahoman and Times; Don Sherry, investigative reporter for KWTV-9 in Oklahoma City; and Frosty Troy, editor of The Oklahoma Observer.
Another speaker will be Mike Hammer, cheif of the state capitol bureau of the Oklahoman and Times and Region 8 director of the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi. He will also show an ethics film produced by SPJ,SDX. Three panels are also scheduled during the institute. One of the
panels will be on the ethics in photography which will be discussed by Dr. Woody Gaddis, director of photographic studies at CSU. Another panel will act as a jury in considering hypothetical ethical questions. The panel will be discussed by Raymond Vaughn, an Edmond attorney and former television news anchorman.
The third panel, which will deal with television ethics, will be headed by Dr. Jack Deskin, associate professor of oral conymunications at CSU. One hour of graduate or undergraduate credit will be given for the institute. Further details are available by calling Dennie Hall at 341-2980, Ext. 303.
Student senate announces Welcome The Student Senate has announced that Welcome Back Week begins Tuesday and runs through Thursday. The movie "The Warriors" will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the University Center ballroom.
The dorms will hold a free cookout from 4:30 to 6 P.M. Wednesday in the area immediately north of the University Center known locally as Thatcher Lake. This is free to dorm residents only and all students must have their
meal tickets. Also free watermelon feed will be held immediately after for all university students. On Thursday night there will be a free dance from 8 to 11 p.m. in Ballrooms A and B of the University Center with the KOFM Mobile Music Machine. Senator Joe McCormick was appointed parliamentarian. The new committee chairs were also appointed. They are: Price Oswalt, School Spirit; Tim Reid, Housing; Tami Fischer, Commuter Affairs and Polly Pitezel, Publicity. Rhonda Cherry was appointed to fill a vacated senator's seat. Craig McVay was appointed attorney general. The fall elections will be held on Sept. 22. There are ten vacant seats open at this election. Filing opens at 8 p.m. on Tuesday and goes through Sept. 16 at 5 p.m. The candidates meeting will be at 8 p.m. on September 17 in the Student Senate offices. All interested students are urged to run. Mary Kelly, secretary-treasurer says that a number of people have already called the Student Senate office about running and she is hopeful that interest will remain high. The budget Student Senate President Tim Reese presented to the Senate was passed. "I'm really excited by this year's budget. It's a 37.7 percent increase over last year's. It will enable us to have better activities for the students. For example, with the increase, we will be able to have a live band at Homecoming this year instead of a music machine," said Reese. The Student Senate's next meeting will be at 12:30 p.m. Sept. 13 in the Senate Room. Meetings will be held each week except holidays at this time during the semester.

Left-Dean Dudley Ryan conducting the RA class as the 23 resident assistants are busy taking notes. Right-left to right, Brian Morrow, Kevin Rushing, Russell Barfield and Roberta Brown all sit back comfortably paying close attention to the lecture during the RA class period.
RAs make dorm life easier
I enjoy helping people get adjusted to the campus and dormitory," said Debra Fisher, describing her job as a resident assistant (RA) on a floor of CSU's West Hall dormitory. RAs are students who assistant residents with problems and or concerns in the dormitories. They also serve as counselors to give guidance to students with problems. "I don't want the RAs to be stereotyped as law enforcers, their sole purpose is to give assistance to the students in the dorm," commented Dudley Ryan, associate dean of students. "They serve as resource people for the total campus. We train them about the entire university so they can not only answer questions but also know where to send people who they cannot answer," he added. "I want the students to have a good time and not feel that they are living in a hole," said Mark Heard, a resident assistant in East Hall. Heard, who has organized a football team on his floor, also stated that he wanted the students to famaliarize themselves with each other. "For the first time in East Hall, we are really trying to promote spirit. The north side of the dorm has a slogan called "North Side Pride" and the southside has "The South will rise again," and this gives more unity to each dorm side," added Ilead. With all the requirement that are placed upon an resident assistant, students are still exicited about becoming a RA. "It is exciting to work with peo-
ple and to share knowledge with them," said Janet Thorton, who is a second year RA in Murdagh Hall. "The RA program as a whole is rewarding and I like implimenting new programs for the dorms," added Thorton. "I like to work with people and prevent them from making mistake", said Russell Barfield, RA in East Hall. "I look back to when I was a freshman and realized the hard times I went through until I met a RA." "I think the dorms need people who are going to take hold and get people involved. I am starting intramural programs on my floor and we will have a pep club in West Hall," said Joy Tipton, of West Hall. Joy Aninwene a resident in West Hall from Nigeria had a different perspective of the program. "It is nice to know other international students and learn more about American culture from a firsthand experience. There are some problems that international women face that are serious to them but not to most Americans. Since I am from another country, I can really relate with them," commented Aninwene. What would it be like without resident assistants?
"Mass chaos, residents would get lost in the shuffle and really have no one to which to relate," said Dean Deanna Land associate dean of students. "My job has been easier and more organized with the RAs in the dorm, I wouldn't know what to do without them," said Ryan. He further stated that at one time there were no RAs but rather dorm counselors who would help the students. Then an RA pro-
"No, Virginia, The rest of the world does NOT speak
gram got started and soon it was terminated. Then in the spring of 1978 the RA program was revived with eight students working in the four dorms. "Without RAs in the dorms it would be mass confusion and the
chances for problems may increase," said Caroline Bradford, RA in West Hall. "I am glad there is a program at CSU and I think it is very rewarding and benefical," commented Thorton.

Coach hopes team maturity combats imposing schedule Final of a three part series. By Robert Slankard The secret is out, if it ever was a secret. Coach Gary Howard's Bronchos are loaded with talent and could very well have a season rivaling the 11-2 record of 1979. So goes the several compliments already being heaped on the Bronchos. The main reason for such optimism centers around 26 returning players who saw starting action last year for CSU. It is this abundance of experience that has most of the predictors tabbing CSU as one of the favorites in District Nine and nationally as well (the Bronchos were ranked 11th in one preseason poll). But Howard believes one important factor is being missed; CSU still has a very youthful lock. "Even though we return a great deal of starters from last year's team, we're still pretty young," said Howard. "We have a huge junior class." Howard's gaurded optimism centers around the fact that CSU will probably start five sophomores and ten juniors against Northwestern Saturday. The Bronchos are even young in

the kicking department where the returning punter and place-kicker are both sophomores. Despite Howard's concern about CSU's youthful look, he doesn't deny the ingredients could be there for a spectacular year. "I'm happy that at least we know we have an opportunity to have a good football team. "The times that we've had a good team centered around the fact we were experienced and had an attitude that we wanted to win very badly. "But you have to be a hungry football team. You must want to win and be willing to pay the price. "We're headed in that direction." However the Bronchos won't be allowed the luxury of an easy first half schedule to build momentum. CSU will open the season Sep. 4th with a road game against Northwestern at 7:30 p.m. Although the Rangers won only two on the field last year, NWU will return 15 starters, including three All-District selections. The second game will also be on the road, Sep. 11th, when CSU plays Southwestern at 7:30 p.m. The Bulldogs won nine out of 11 games last year before being forced to forfeit most of the victories. One of those two losses came at the hands of CSU, by a 13-6 score, and SWU should have revenge on the mind. But the Bronchos maybe out to repay a few debts also. Randy Page missed most of last year because of an injury suffered in this game. The Bronchos will stay on the road for the third game as they travel to Arkadelphia, Ark. Sep.

18th for a 2 p.m. game with Henderson State. The Reddies ruined CSU's homecoming last year by drilling the Bronchos 38-18 on the way to a 7-3 year. CSU will finally return home Sep. 25th for a game with Howard Payne at 7:30 p.m. The Yellow Jackets were only 3-7 last year and although the Bronchos just slipped by with a 9-7 victory, CSU shouldn't have any trouble this year. The Bronchos will need that break because Northeastern will be awaiting CSU's arrival the next week, Oct. 2nd, for what could be the game of the year, starting at 7:30 p.m. CSU's last visit to Tahlequah, in 1979, ended in shock and disapointment as the Redmen won 22-14.

"I think Northwestern is going to be a contender all year. They have the talent to be very good. I saw what kind of team speed they have last year at the District Nine track meet where their sprinters, mostly football players, won the 440 relay.

Sports staff invites public to participate in contest By Robert Slankard Sports Editor September ushers in many wonderful and inspiring sights; football, chearleaders and `Slankard's Super Selections' for September. Although many thought The Vista predictors would give up and close down shop after last year's multi-disaster, it has been decided that the public will be awarded a chance to 'get in on the action'. Starting with this issue and running, hopefully through the end of football season, a ballot with that week's games will be in each Thursday issue of The Vista. All that is required is to put a check by the team that the entrant believes will win. To break up the possibility of a tie, a place will be
provided to guess the score of that week's CSU game. When the ballot is completed, it can be dropped in a box at The Vista office, which is located in the Communication Building, room 107. It is important for the entrant to remember to place his or her name at the top of the ballot. For all that work the winner of each week's contest will recieve nothing. However the winner will be announced in each Thursday issue of The Vista and will have the privelage of needling friends, family and loved ones. There will also be the added incentive of trying to match wits with the 'experts' at The Vista. Those experts will again be Mike Sherman and Robert Slankard,
two truly dynamic giants of the pro prediction field. The entries need to be in no later than 5 p.m. on the Friday following publication of the ballot. This will allow the entrants one day to make selections and turn in the picks. The bases of the picks are not to glorify the brilliance of The Vista prediction staff, although it has been said they are legends in their own minds. Rather it is a chance for sports fans, experts and others to compete in a friendly contest that doesn't have a great deal at stake. To make sure the entrants at least try to use their own imagination in picking their winners The Vista will not publish the staff predictions until the Thursday after the games have been played.
