U.S. Senator Don Nickles addresses CSU students during his last visit to the campus in the fall of 1980. Nickles, along with other key state political figures, will visit CSU October 11-14.
United States Senator Don Nickels will make his first appearance on the CSU campus, since his election last year, on Oct. 12. Nickles will be in Oklahoma during October for the fall congressional adjournment, and will address the CSU student body on international and economic issues. The speech, which will be open to the public, will begin at 9:35 a.m. in the auditorium of the Liberal Arts Building. It will be followed be a reception from 10:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Dr. Tom Guild, assistant professor of political science, said that CSU's students will should be honored by Nickles visit. "It's a rare opportunity to get to see your U.S. Senator in person once they get elected," Guild said. "We are glad that Senator Nickles considers CSU important enough to visit, even when he is not up for re-election." The presentation is sponsored by the College Republicans and the political science department. Nickles has spoken on campus twice before his election as U.S. Senator, both coming during his campaign in 1980. Nickles once debated his republican opponent for the senate John Zink here during the run-off between the two. Nickles went on to defeat democratic candidate Andy Coates in the general election. Corresponding with Nickles appearence, CSU will host a wide spectrum of candidates currently running for election as part of the political science workshop entitled "Campaign `82",Oct. 11-14. Orland Moore, director of the workshop and assistant professor of political science, said that the workshop will give the students a chance to meet face to face with the candidates. "We are very fortunate to be able to present the
caliber of candidates to the CSU student body," he said of the workshop, which is also sponsored by the political science department. "This will be one of the few opportunities to ask these people questions during the campaign." Among those are scheduled to speak to those students who enroll in the workshop are: Phyliss Gault, republican candidate for the state treasurer; State Senator Norman Lamb, currently in a run-off for the republican nomination as lieutenant governor; Steve Sill or Saundra Gragg, republican candidates for state representative from Edmond (the winner of the run-off will attend); Diane Copelin, democratic candidate for state representative from Edmond; Mickey Edwards, fifth district congressman; Mike Turpen, democratic candidate for state attorney general; Kevin Cox, democratic candidate for state representative from Oklahoma City; Bob Macy, incumbent district attorney; Wayne Wells, republican candidate for district attorney; and democratic and republican state chairpersons Obera Bergdall and Nancy Apgar. Guild, who is assistant director of the workshop, said there is a possiblility that Tom Daxon, the republican candidate for governor, may speak at the workshop. But his staff has yet to committ. "The problem is that, his staff isn't saying yes or no," said Guild. Another possible speaker for the workshop is incumbent lieutenant governor Spencer Bernard. He too has yet to confirm. Guild said democrats and republicans will be equally represented at the workshop with seven from each party scheduled to attend. Students who wish to enroll for one hour credit, graduate or undergraduate, may do so before 5 p.m. Oct. 11.
Administration and staff attend department leadership institute By Susan Lane CSU is sending fifteen departmental chairpersons and staff members to the Departmental Leadership Institute tomorrow through Friday in Oklahoma City. The instutite's purpose is to train departmental chairpersons in administrative tasks, said Dr. Patrick Cassens, vice president for academic affairs. Forty-five faculty members from Northeastern Oklahoma State University, Southwestern Oklahoma State University and Cameron University will also be in attendance, said Barbara Norman, oral communications chairperson. Each university will have one faculty member acting as a facilitator. Norman will be CSU's representative. The idea of the instutute is based on a book written by Allen Tucker, the director of the Department Leadership Institute. Formerly a departmental chairperson at Florida State University, Tucker feels that people who become chairpersons in academic settings may be well versed in the artistic, creative or academic areas they teach. However, they are ill prepared for the administrative tasks assigned to department heads, Norman explained.
Institute topics will be chairperson's responsibilities, leadership styles, reporting and assigning faculty activites, counseling faculty members and setting goals for and making appraisals for faculty member. A spring institute will cover budget and fiscal responsibilities, she added. "Tucker and the council have very wisely singled out one of the weaker links in administration on the college campuses. And these types of programs are helping," "Part of the value will come not only from the information they share, but from the interaction and from finding out how people at other campuses handle problems." Joining Norman at the institute will be the following department chairpersons: Arnell Johnson, Dr. J.W. Weatherford, Dr. Terry Horton, Dr. J. Michael Knight, Dr. Frank Wert, Dr. Charles Hembree, Dr. Don Green, Ethel Quickle, Dr. Larry Westmoreland, Dr. Darry Carlstone, Dr. Homer Coker, Dr. Virginia Lamb and Dr. Emmet Osgood. Dr. Clyde Jacob, assistant vice president of academic affairs will also attend.
