Nigh initiates state government institute By Susan Green Editor
Former Governor George Nigh and CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard announced Wednesday, the establishment of the Nigh Institute of State Government. Prior to a press conference at the State Capitol, a luncheon and reception were held on campus to inform campus leaders and faculty of this program. Nigh, who presently serves as the Statesman-in-Residence at CSU has been involved in state government since 1950, with his most recent involvement, Governor of the state of Oklahoma for eight years. He said the purpose of the Institute will be to inform students on Oklahoma's relationship with Washington and how to make the relationship prosper. Nigh said he felt state and local goverments have a more direct impact on daily lives than the federal government. "When you stop to consider the really basic needs in our lives, roads to travel, water to drink, jobs for workers and schools to educate our kids, these are functions of state government, " Nigh said. In his plans for emphasizing state government, Nigh said one effort would be his presence on campus. Nigh will be moving his office from downtown OKC to a permanent location on the fourth floor of the University Center. He will be paying a portion of the rent and installing his own phone lines, as not to interfere with other university operations. To further emphasize his presence, Nigh has been given the flags, desk and chair that he used at the Capitol, which he in turn gave to Central State. His office will be a replica of the office he had while serving as governor.
Outside his office, in the corridor, will be his collection of Western Art. Nigh hopes to have artists come in and explain how state government and art are related. Another goal of the Institute will be to educate and inform. The Institute will develop coursework for CSU students, hold seminars and workshops for all ages from school children to community leaders and a recognized speaker in the field of state government will be brought in four times a year. Nigh said he also hopes to work with International students, especially those who don't understand the state and federal government's relationship to Oklahoma.
"When you stop to consider the really basic needs in our lives, roads to travel, water to drink, jobs for workers, schools to educate our kids, these are all functions of state government." In correlation with the Institute, Nigh wants to develop a memorabilia room, which will include official papers of former governors and state officials, the gavel from Alfalfa BillHitchcock, the original Oklahoma flag and other things that reflect the state government of Oklahoma. Nigh said he hopes in the future it might attract tourists and possibly foreign visitors, for them
to see and understand more about Oklahoma. On Oct. 23, there will be fundraiser for the Institute on campus, with Governor Henry Bellmon and U.S. Senator David Boren serving as hosts. Nigh said this will be the largest gathering of political figures together in Oklahoma. Nigh said that CSU was chosen to house the Institute because of the university's proximity to the State Capitol and because of its long history of educating and serving the people of Oklahoma. "Why shouldn't we have an institute that better informs individuals of state governement? I strongly support the Energy Office at the University of Oklahoma and the Agriculture Department at the University of Oklahoma. Are they any more important?" Lillard asked. State Representative Gaylon Stacy said the Institute is the opportunity that will put CSU on the front steps. Sometimes, he said, the university goes on the back step of OU and OSU because of size. Lillard said he was extremely pleased that Nigh chose CSU for the location of the Institute. He said he felt it will be another facet of the educational opportunities CSU offers the government student. "As a former teacher and the man who served as governor longer than any man in Oklahoma, he is eminently qualified to head this Institute dedicated to the study of state government. Nigh said in his addition to his work at the Institute, he will continue to lecture in government classes and have student interviews on Tuesday and Wednesday of each week.

Two CSU officials had retirement claims rejeceted, due to miscommunication between the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges and the office of State Finance, on who is to pay the lump sum contribution for early retirement. According to an artcle in the Aug. 30 Daily Oklahoman, the office of State Finance halted regents in their attempt to spend state funds for lump sum payments required of college officials wanting to retire early. "It's a requirement of law that any state official wanting to retire early, pay a $4,500 fee for their retirement," Lindsey Owsley, in-
terim vice president of administration said. State officials rejected their claims because the regents were acting on the old retirement law. A representative from the office of State Finance said the state's new early retirement law requires that the employee, not the institute pay the lump sum contribution. The regents were unaware of this change. Owsley said he feels this was a difference in the interpretation of the legislation on the part of both parties. Under the regents policy, state funds opportioned to colleges each year, could by used to cover
the additional contribution necessary for an eligible employee to take advantage of the states new retirement law. With the new retirement law, a sixth month window has been created for early retirement. Any employee seeking to retire in the last six months of 1987, may add as much as three years to his creditable years of service, by making a one time contribution to his state retirement system. Bellmon said he intends the retirement window to encourage some older and hirer paid state employees, teachers, professors and administrators to retire early. Owsley said it would depend on the situation of the individual, if
he is willing to retire early, now that the retiree is required to pay the lump sum. Bellmon said that any member of the retirement system can take advantage of early retirement July 1 through Jan. 1, 19 88, if members pays an additional contribution for as much as three years. With the maixmum $4,500 payment for new retirees, it could save colleges more than $250,000 in suppliemt retirement payments, if the retiree lives for 30 years after retirement. At this time, Owsley would not release the names of the CSU officials whose claims were rejected.

L.A. building too crowded By J. Money CSU should build another Liberal Arts building to house all of the students who funnel in and out of that building on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. The other day I walked through there between classes. You couldn't stir all the people in the hall with a stick. Last week we had a prank fire alarm in that building. Students stood around, looked at each other and laughed about it, before slowly hearding out into the lawn. I shudder with fear when I stop to think what might have happened had there really been a fire. Several people probably would have beert killed and hundreds would have been injured had a panic ensued if the fire was real. The problem isn't so much the lack of adequate exits, there are just too many people in that building at one time. Upstairs there is not that much congestion in the halls, but there are also no exits up there. Perhaps the university should reschedule the classes in that building so that the classes held upstairs meet ten minutes off the downstairs classes so congestion wouldn't be so bad. Either ten minutes before or after the classes on the other floor between the times they meet and let out might cut down on the congestion in the downstairs halls. Or, perhaps the university could schedule more of those classes in the afternoon. I am sure there are many valid reasons why the university hasn't done something before now. While I wait for something to happen, I'll just arm myself so I won't get trampled in the halls during breaks between classes.

Suggestions given for Labor Day boredom By Susan Green
Editor Labor Day: the first Monday in September, set aside for special recognition of the workingman. Also, no school at CSU. Have nothing to do? Here are a few ideas. 1.)Sleep in. You probably won't have many chances to do so, especially if you work weekends. 2.)Spend the day with your boyfriend or girlfriend. If you're like
me, you don't get much time to spend with them now that school has started. 3.)Attend the Oklahoma City Community College Festival of the Arts. It will feature artists, craftsmen, entertainment and a variety of food. It's in South Oklahoma City and the best part, it's free. 4.)Watch the Labor Day parade on N. Classen at 10 a.m. If you're hungry after all that watching, eat a free picnic lunch from 1 - 8 p.m. at Memorial
Park on N.W. 35th St. 5.)If you live on campus, go visit your parents if they're in driving distance. After two weeks of cafeteria food, you're probably ready for some of mom's home cooking by now. 6.)If worst comes to worst and you can't think of anything else, get caught up on your homework. Or better yet, read ahead so you won't get behind. Remember it's your day off, so whatever you decide to do, have FUN.
Student debates interpretation of God, Evolution To the editor: In the recent letter printed in The Vista entitled "Bring God into Class," the author, Scott Warren claimed that religion in classrooms is almost as taboo as politics. Religion and politics are touchy subjects. This is probably because a person's beliefs in these areas are almost always based on the doctrines with which they were raised, rather than logic or emperical knowledge. Warren's letter is a case in point. He provides no objective reasons to support his claims. He merely uses a presumed authority (the Bible) and threats of eternal hell to convince his readers! Whose God shall we bring into class? The teachers'? The students'? I wonder if Warren would readily accept a Moslem teacher preaching Islam to his children? I doubt it. Warren states, "the Bible accredits itself as no other text can do." It's a
classic tautological argument with circular reasoning. The existence of God proves the infallibility of the Bible and the infallibility of the Bible proves the existence of God! I'm not really worried that Warren will change anybody's mind about the merits of separation of Church and State. I am however, concerned about his misrepresentation of science. His letter demands that a commonn misunderstanding of Evolution be rectified. We often hear that Darwin's Theory is "only a theory." But what exactly is a theory? Well, to most it connotates speculation, conjecture, something which works out on paper, but which hasn't been tested in the real world yet. To scientists, however, theory is synonymous with fact. Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection is called a "theory" because it has withstood testing for more than 120 years! Therefore, it will be assumed to
be true until contrary evidence emerges. That's because all facts in science are tentative . The point being, Darwin's Theory is a fact as much as any theory in science is a fact. However many Christians use this difference between the vernacular and the scientific definitions of "theory" to misconstrue the status of Evolutionary Theory. My hope is that people will look deeper for answers to their questions. Isn't that why we are in school? What we believe is based on what we know. But if all we know comes from only one book (the Bible), then what does that say about our beliefs? Such a limited perspective can only produce intolerence, prejudice and superstition. I suggest, Warren, that if you want a more "progressive education", try a parochial school. Dustin Penn

News: World, state and local Persian gulf skirmishes escalate Radio monitors said a Spanish supertanker were attacked in the Persian Gulf Tuesday by one or two Iranian speedboats. The 300,078-ton ship Munguia, identified its position 55 miles north-east of Bahrain, an Island emirate in the central region of the gulf, when it was attacked. Reports said at least two shoulder-fired rockets struck the ship causing a fire in the engine room. No casualties were reported, however. The incident is the second reported attack by Iranian speedboats in the region since Iraq renewed its air raids on Iranian targets. Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department has called for sanctions against Iran if the country doesn't agree to a truce resolution passed by the United Nations Security Council by the end of the week. Iraq has said it will abide by the resolution if Iran does the same.

Bombs mailed from Oklahoma Postal investigators and the FBI have been called in to investigate two bombs mailed from Stillwater, Oklahoma to Indiana and Utah. The first bomb was discovered by a woman in Greencastle, Ind. The package she founnd the bomb in did not explode because of a malfunction. The second bomb was discovered by the Indiana woman's sister, Pam Langston of Clearfield Utah. She did not open her package. Instead, she called the police because she suspected a bomb might be inside after hearing what happened to her sister. Clearfield Police Lt. Seve Hill said police recovered a sample of the handwriting on the package before it was turned over to a bomb squad for detonation, and said an Oklahoma man has been identified as a suspect. Hill also said the suspect may be linked to a divorce of Pam Langston's sister.
Oklahoma submits collider bid Two EMSI Ltd. employees delivered Oklahoma's collider project bid to the Department of Energy (DOE) in Washington D.C. Tuesday without the fanfare some other states who are competing for the bid used. Twenty-one states have submitted proposals for the four point four billion dollar project. It will take over a year for a state to be announced as receiving the project. The National Academies of Science and Engineering will select around one half dozen finalists for the project, and then the government will make the final choice.
Normal procedures bypassed for court ordered removal The head of the juvenile division of the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office said Tuesday that the Department of Human Services (DHS) bypassed normal proceedure when they obtained a court order to remove seven children from a local home last week. Rebecca McNeese said the DHS normally would come to the District Attorney's Office before the matter would go before a judge.. When the DHS sought the removal of children from the home of Clark and Sharon Snell, however, the District Attorney's Office was not used by the DHS. McNeese added the reason the District Attorney Office was not used was because a DHS worker was told the District Attorney would not support a pickup order based on the proof the DHS held against the Snells. The Snells were accused by the DHS of child pornography and child prostitution, but the DHS was forced to return the children to the Snells Sunday when it could not produce proof the allegations were true.
Garbage barge finds hot spot A garbage barge that has spent five months looking for a place to dump its load has finally began to off-load its cargo in New York. The barge was originally contracted to take a load of garbage from a dock in Queens, New York to a landfill in North Carolina. When it got there, however, it was turned away because it did not have the proper permits to unload.

Now that Frieda had settled into the routine of classes and campus living, she sets her sights on the more important aspects of life...college men. Pretty and popular at Tiny Town High, Frieda has never lacked for male affections. She is confident CSU will prove no exception. But she is soon to experience that dreaded disorder -- Saturday night and not a date in sight. No where to run, no where to hide. What's a girl to do? Friday morning she spies gorgeous guy, Kevin Commuter sitting nonchalantly in the back of her Political Science class. Where did he come from she wonders to
herself, as drool dribbles down her lip. Ten minutes until class is over. She must find a way to meet this guy. She's got to have a date for this weekend or she'll never be able to face her friends again. But wait... there is hope. The following are some sure lures for finding a date. 1. Ask. 2. Find a date tree. Climb it. 3. Lose a sock in the laundry. Go door to door looking for its mate and maybe you'll find one too. 4. Modern women aren't afraid to make the first move.

5. Wait in the lost and found. Someone out there is looking for you. 6. "Haven't I met you somewhere before?." Sounds corny but hey, it still works. 7. Expectations are deadly. You have as much of a chance finding your Prince Charming or Cinderella as making it through the whole year without a parking ticket. They don't exsist. Be reasonable, be open, everyone deserves a chance. 8. Don't mistake shyness for snobiness. 9. A smile can open a heart quicker than a key can open a door.
Bash on regardless. May we all find what we're looking for and may it not be in the refrigerator. Best wishes for another Saturday night of wild and reckless abandon. P.S. I have an extra ticket for the movies tonight... Please address any comments or suggestions to the B.B. in co The Vista, room 107 in the Communications building.
Experienced prof leads Kaleidoscope dancers By Kim Earnest
Associate Editor Jamie Jacobson has been hired as the new CSU Kaleidoscope Dance director, replacing Ann Shanks who retired last year. Jacobson, who has an M.A. Degree in Dance from Brigham Young University, has taught at BYU, Oklahoma City University, and was a part-time ballet and jazz instructor at Central State four years ago. Her credits include several television specials with Donnie and Marie Osmond and instructor of many jazz, modern and aerobic dance workshops. "Even though we currently do not have a dance major at CSU, I hope that we will in the future. Many students have expressed their desire and I feel that we have a need for it," said Jacobson. "Eventually I would also like to see CSU offer a minor in dance. This would be especially beneficial for the P.E. and theater students," she added. Jacobson is planning on bring-
Walnut Valley Festival
ing in several guest artists for the dance troupe. She said she would like to develop the dancers into a top-notch performance group with more emphasis on ballet and jazz.

Pre-marital sex addressed
Results indicate group attitude difference By J. Money
Associate editor This story is the final part of a three part installment regarding a survey conducted by Dr. Thomas E. Guild, assistant professor of political science. The first installment appeared in the Aug. 27 issue of The Vista and dealt with abortion. The second installment appeared in Tuesday's edition of The Vista and dealt with homosexuality. This final segment rounds out a survey conducted by Guild. Respondents to the survey were approximately 480 Republican activists during 1986 and students from several random selected CSU classes in the fall 1985 semester. The topics covered in this installment include marijuana issues and pre- marital sex. Guild said he was surprised on the similarity of responses he received in the section of the survey dealing with marijuana issues.
"I expected a difference of opinion between the activists and students on marijuana, but I found they responded about the same. The similarity of opinions between the two groups could be attributed to usage patterns. "Common usage of the drug may have diffused it as an emotional topic," Guild concluded. Forty-three percent of the students polled said marijuana should never be legal, and 48 percent of the activists agreed with this statement. Sixteen point six percent of the students agreed with the statement, "Possesion and use of marijuana should be decriminalized with only a fine imposed, like a traffic violation." Nine percent of the activists who responded agreed with that statement. Twenty point eight percent of students who responded agreed with, "Possession and use of marijuana should be legal for cancer patients to relieve their
pain," while 32 percent of the activists agreed with that statement. Pre-marital sex was dealt with by the survey in the following manner: "Do you think that premarital sex should be considered objectionable under all circumstances, only under certain circumstances or never considered morally wrong?" Sixty six percent of the activists said pre-marital sex should be considered objectionable under all circumstances, while only 35.9 percent of the students who responded agreed. Thirty-two point eight percent of the students who responded said pre-marital sex should be considered objectionable under only certain circumstances, while only 25 percent of the activists agreed. Only 7 percent of the activists said pre-marital sex should never be considered morally wrong, but 31.2 percent of the students who responded agreed with that statement.

Gridders to kick-off 82nd season Defensive muscle to carry the load By Mary Butler
Sports editor The strategy is simple. "We'll need to keep them out of the end zone," said coach Gary Howard. "Then the game will be close all the way," he added. In other words, the Bronchos, with only two returning offensive starters, will have to turn to their defense to lead them past a tough SW Missouri opponent Saturday night. "We'll really be counting on our defense to carry us early in the season. We'll need sound defense and low scoring to win," said Howard. Fortunately for Howard it appears as if he just may have the defense to get the job done'. "The overall strength of this team will be our leadership in the secondary because we play so many good passing teams," said Howard. The secondary, with 3-out-of-4 starters back from last season, is Howard's defensive forte. Led by a pair of senior safties, the Bronchos should have the poise to slow down opponents and give Howard his good field position, low scoring wish. Neil Galbraith, a four year starter from Guthrie, led the Bronchos with interceptions as a freshmen and hasn't slowed since. Larry Porter, Howard's second prized-safty, was a part time starter for the Bronchos his freshman year but worked his way into the line-up his sophomore season and has played ever since. "They're both outstanding, seasoned players. And are both proprospects," said Howard of his defensive duo. A pair of sophomores fill in the other two starting slots. Robert Gordon, an Ardmore product, started as a freshman last year and will pick up where he left off on Saturday. Curtis Hill, a sophomore transfer from Tulsa University, claimed the final slot after redshirting last season. Howard's also got a couple of talented leaders in the ends and `backers' department. Winfred Jones, an Altus sophomore, will be leading the Broncho line after having what coach Howard called an "extremely fine preseason." Versatile senior Clint Howard will also add maturity. After playing three different positions in three seasons as a part time Broncho starter, Howard has the tools to help keep the defense stable. Linebacker Dean Shinault, a 210 junior out of Ponca City, will provide another defensive anchor. Shinault started for the Bronchos last season and led the team in quaterback sacs. He's another one of Howard's extremely fine players." Despite the optomism and stable appearace, Howard's defense does have a few weak spots. The Broncho mentor concedes that his "linemen will be a little young." Marcus Brent, a talented sophomored from Tulsa, will lineup at nose guard for the Bronchos. Brent, unfortunately had the misfortune of playing behind Charles Bell last season. Bell, an '86 AllAmerican, was one of Bronchos best ever. In additon Howard lists freshmen Mike Bennett, Wade Standley and Robert Hughes as newcomers who are "far ahead of where normal freshmen should be. "Overall, our enthusiasm and great attitudes should make up for our inexperience," said Howard.

Bronchos take the 'far road' to success By Mary Butler
Sports editor The Broncho football team seems to be trotting down the road less traveled these days. During a time when cheesecake schedules and prearranged national championships, i.e. the the University of Oklahoma's season opening contest (?) against North Texas State or Penn State's inagural battle against Bowling Green (it's in Ohio), CSU is not only scheduling games against real teams, but their going after teams that are, well, out of their league. And they'll actually be trying, if not expecting, to win. The Bronchos will open their season this Saturday against Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield. SMSU fields an NCAA Division I-AA squad, just a step below the Nebraskas and Michigans and a couple steps above the NAIA Div. I competitors. But that's nothing unsual for the Bronchos who last year tackled three NCAA Div. I-AA and five NCAA Div. II teams. And who this year, despite remaining an NAIA Div. one school, will
"There's no such thing as defeat when it comes from within. As long as a person doesn't admit that he's defeated, he is not defeated - he's just a little behind and isn't through fighting." This season, with a little luck, maybe CSU will get a little closer to winning the war.

"Our sucess this weekend and this season will depend on how well we can over come the fear of mistakes. That's key for a young club. It's real important for our guys to be able to carry out their assignments and not make a lot of mental mistakes," said Howard. "If we don't do well out there, it certainly won't be because we didn't try or want it bad enough," Howard said. Darrell Royal, a former University of Texas coach, once made a remark that a Broncho could take to heart.

battle seven NCAA Div. II units. And three of the Div. II teams are nationally ranked. It's no secret that the hearty schedule, along with bunch of critical injuries, took its toll on the Bronchos last season. CSU, with a 3-5-1 record, wound up with its first losing season in 17 proud years of football. And the Bronchos, after losing 24 lettermen, 15 starters and an All-American kicker, are going back for more. "We definitely lack experience this year," said head coach Gary Howard. "But the enthusiasm on the team is great. We've got a lot of real good attitudes," he added. "I feel real good about the game this weekend," the eleventh season mentor said. Howard's youngsters will face a team on Saturday that has never beaten CSU. The Bronchos have come up on the winning side of seven ball games against the SMSU Bears. But the two teams haven't played each other since 1973. "Their programs has changed a lot since we last played them. They used to be an NAIA team,"

When the Bronchos take to the turf at Briggs Stadium in Springfield, Mo. Saturday afternoon, they'll be searching for solid footing on a new sort of ground. OmniTurf, a playing surface that features a porous, sand-filled filter system, was recently installed in the Bears 7,000 seat stadium. The turf has been called one of the fastest-growing state-of-theart products of its time. Installed in more than 20 pro, college, high school and municipal stadiums in the past four years, OmniTurf not only resembles natural grass more closely that other comparable syn-
thetic surfaces, but its one inch carpet, sand dressing and shock pad help reduce the number of common football injuries. Both the San Diego Chargers and Seattle Seahawk NFL organizations have turned to the OmniTurf field. Seattle started things off laying down the carpet in 1986 while San Diego recently added an OmniTurf practice field. Georgetown University, the University of Southern Illinois, Southwest Missouri State, Alfred University in New York and the University of Missouri all added the turf in 1987.
New York City is tough, but the country is really murder.

Associate Editor Todd McDonald, senior computer science major and part-time waiter, can now add the title entrepenuer to his lists of accomplishments. On Sept. 1, McDonald opened his restaurant, Todd's Dog House, located at 215 1/2 S. Broadway. "I've worked in restaurants for quite some time and have always been interested in having my own business," McDonald said. "There were always a lot of good reasons I could find for owning my own business. The shop is small but that keeps the overhead low. However, I thought it would be a lot easier than it is," McDonald said. "I sold over 60 dogs at lunch the first day. It looks like I'm going to have to recruit some of my friends to help out," McDonald said. Todd's Dog House offers an assortment of hot dogs, frozen yogurt, sodas and malts. The grand opening begins today and runs through Saturday. Opening specials are two-for-one yogurt and a free soft drink with the purchase of one of Todd's dogs. Business hours are 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
