Enrollment for fall sets all-time mark CSU's fall enrollment broke the university's all-time record, topping the 13,000 mark. The final figures, released by CSU President Bill Lillard Wednesday, revealed a total of 13,086, surpassing the 1982 enrollment of 12,309 by 777 students. The previous high was 12,846 set in 1977. "I think there is something enthusiastic in growth," said Lillard. "We have crossed the magic number (13,000) and I think it reflects the quality of the programs at Central State." Lillard pointed out that the new record includes an increase from last year in all classes, freshman through the graduate level. The largest increase was among sophomores, showing an increase of 220 for a 11.3 percent jump. Lillard said the increase was caused by a number of factors. "I think some students went away to school for their first year and came back to CSU because our general cost is a bit lower than the state's comprehensive universities (Oklahoma University and Oklahoma State)," said Lillard. The largest number increase was at the graduate level, with 268 more students enrolling than a year ago, meaning a 7.7 percent increase. Four of the five academic schools also reflected an increase in number of credit hours enrollment. Only the school of special arts and sciences reflecting a slight downturn of 2.5 percent. The school of education led in percentage increase, up 12.9 percent from the previous year. "The education school hasn't gone down because of the new graduate degrees and programs being offered," said Lillard. "Also the state legislature raised the standards for teachers so these students are staying in school longer and taking more classes to meet theses standards." The school of math and science was up 9.7 percent, liberal arts 2.3 percent and the school of business recorded a 3 percent gain from last year. "The overall increase in enrollment reflects the growth in number of programs being offered at Central State University as well as the quality of the programs and faculty," Lillard said. He attributed some of the growth to the economy. "Some students who were attending colleges and universities in other areas have returned home and are taking advantage of program offerings at Central State University," he said. The additional graduate degrees and the growth in graduate enrollment also contributes to the record breaking enrollment, Lillard said. Enrollment figures indicate about one of every four students at CSU is pursuing the masters degree. Total enrollment includes 54 percent women, down one percent from last year. A fourth of the enrollment is under 21 years of age, Lillard said, with 45 percent above age 25 for an average age of 27. Over two thirds of the enrollment comes from Oklahoma County, with 91.6 percent from within the state. International students comprise 6.1 percent. The total includes 1,133 black students, or 8.6 percent. Lillard said 43 states are represented in the all-time high figure with 45 countries included. Topping the international figures is Nigeria with 282 students, folllowed by Iran with 118 and Taiwan with 111. "We now have a little over 100 Irdnian students, but before the crisis more than 400 attended CSU. I think its fairly evident why there has been a decline," Lillard said. "They can't get out of the country to go to school in the U.S. anymore." A break-down of the international student enrollment also revealed that there are three students from the People's Republic of China attending CSU. "I find it amazing that someone from the mainland would have every heard of the state of Oklahoma, OU or Oklahoma State, much less Central State University," said Lillard. The 1977 high was followed by a two-year decline in 1978 and 1979 before the upturn began in 1980. However, last year's total was still below the previous record. University officials began to be optimistic about setting the new record when day to day comparisons on enrollment indicated figures were running 650 to 700 ahead of the time a year ago. That trend was maintained until the official tabulation was made.

The Life Science building, which will include a solar panel, will be the new home of the nursing and funeral science departments.
More classroom space
Building will cause 'domino effect' Editor
CSU President Bill Lillard says the opening of the Life Science building next semester will have a "domino effect" on the campus classroom situation. "This domino effect deals with the creation of more classroom space for the schools in need of it," said Lillard. "The Life Science Building will free up space all over campus." The Life Science building, currently under construction south of Howell Hall, is 55-60 percent cornpleted, according to Lillard. When it is finished, the nursing and funeral science department will move into the building gradually. Lillard said he expected some classes to be taught in the building some time during the spring semester, then by the fall the building will be in full use. Lillard said that other health science-related courses—such as pre-medical and pre-denistry classes—would also move into the new building. The funeral science department currently shares the basement of Evans Hall with the CSU museum. The museum will be expanded upon the opening of the Life Science building, said Lillard. The old President's Home, which houses the nursing department, has yet to be assigned to another department. The funeral science portion of the new building will be equipped with a laboratory for restorative arts and dissection, a model casket selection room and a model funeral planning room. The nursing education facility will feature a six bed nursing skills lab plus two patient rooms, set up as an examination room and a critical care room. The Life Science building will provide the university with approximately 18 additional classrooms, according to Lillard, and will ease the problems other
departments are experiencing due to lack of space.
Lillard said Howell Hall and the Business building have been operating at levels above capacity, despite recent additions to both. A annex was added to Howell Hall in 1981 and the Buisness building has expanded into the old Math building. This followed the move of the math department to the MathComputer Science building which opened last spring. "Once the new building opens, we will determine which departments need the space most and move them around," said Lillard. Lillard added that the art department would recieve consideration for a move due to the lack of classroom space. The new structure will feature a partial solar energy heating system. Lillard indicated that this will be the first facility on campus to utilize solar energy. "Although it will only be a partial solar energy system," said Lillard, "the architects tell me it will cut the university's natural gas bill in half. We will monitor it carefully to determine its costeffectiveness." Lillard said the solar panel will be used primarily for heating water. Canam Construction of Edmond was contracted to begin work on March 17. Lillard estimated the cost of the building at approximately $912,000. Lillard said the university has not planned any additional buildings, but renovation would continue on some of the older buildings on campus after the Life Science building is completed. "We haven't planned anything else because we will have to examine our budget situation at midterm," said Lillard, "but I hope it never get to the point where we aren't building." Lillard said he would like to see a new entertaining arts complex built in the near future.

Soccer team, field needed on campus Letter to the editor
Soccer is a sport enjoyed by other parts of the world, except in American, were it is relatively new. The game comprises eleven players, four reserves and a coach. But this game, which is called football in other countries, is quite different than the football played in the United States. CSU has two football practicing fields. My proposal is that CSU should start an organized soccer team and use the practice field closest to the maintenance building to play its games. The field is spacious and could be groomed to suit the standard size of a soccer field. A soccer field is supposed to be a bare, flat, grass ground which is smooth and has no hills or slopes. This field fits the description. This project will not only make CSU unique in Oklahoma universities, but it will become an example for others to follow. An administrative source said that the practice field is for football practicing only. The source also emphasized that finding a suitable coach for the sport creates another problem. The practice field could be used ternporarily during the summer session. Since the grass and ground structure of the field is suitable and does not call for any reconstruction except the marking of the field with paints after football season. I feel that this would inspire student interest, and the uniqueness of the game—in Oklahoma particularly—will make the old-age institution the focus of the mass media. After the administration has looked at my proposal and the method of implementing it, they will sit down and work on the philosophy. Simon Osadebay Okonjo

Now is the time
Start 'peace-keeping' or come home By Mike Sherman Editor
Developments around the world have turned more than a few heads concerning the issue of a strong national defense for Uncle Sam. Viewers of television news have seen Marines fired at in Lebanon, civilian airlines gunned down north of Japan and U.S. aircraft gearing up for battle in the Persian Gulf all in the past two weeks.
Editorial Such activities have dwarfed former TV news hot-spots like El Salvador and Nicaragua. In fact it would seem to be extremely hard to watch TV or read the newspaper these days and not ask think to oneself, "Have I blinked and missed the beginning of the third World War?" This trend toward war is most evident in the battle-torn country of Lebanon. The "peacekeeping" force sent to Beriut this summer has yet to accomplish the task set before it. Four U.S. Marines have died in an effort to keep the peace. It is little wonder their efforts have gone for naught. It is difficult enough to be strive for peace in a land oblivious to such a notion? Until this week they have attempt to accomplish this virtually unarmed. The Marines have been open season for PLO and Syrian-backed units. That was until President Reagan gave the troops the power to call for air support against forces shelling their positions Monday night. But this will not
accomplish the task he assigned to the Marines. And it is quite possible that the 2,000 Marines who landed off the Lebanese coast Monday won't do it either. The reinforcements brought the total number of U.S. peacekeepers in the Middle East to 3,200. Couldn't this be called "gradual escalation," and will the words "police action" soon flow from the lips of a state department official trying to explain this nifty little conflict. Nevertheless, the Beruit situation is an excellent opportunity for Reagan to do two things. First, and most impor-
'The Vista' should remedy campus parking question Letter to the Editor: Since it is quite visable that there aren't enough parking spaces for cornmuters, it seems that some steps to help solve the problem should be taken. The Vista could be quite helpful to the solution of this problem. Surely there is enough room within its pages to start up some kind of car-pool column. Not only will this help to save space on campus. It will also be helpful in this time of economic stress. I'm sure that if the editor and his assistants put their minds to it, they would find a way to make this work to the advantage of both the university and the commuters. Just A Helpful Hint
tant of all, insure that few if any lives more lives are lost and secondly show off his strong national defense. If television polls are close to being accurate, the president will not have his hands tied by the War Powers Act, which gives Congress to recall troops after 60 to 90 days of combat. (An aside: White House officials have yet to admit the Marines are in combat.) So it is now that Reagan must act. Vietnam should have taught the president that fighting for a stalemate is just as good as losing. The Marines should either be allowed to "keep the peace" or come home. There are no other alternatives.

State local, world news Millions stolen by guard A Wells Fargo guard pulled a gun on his partner and boss, gave them an injection and then stole $7 million in cash Tuesday. The FBI has put out a nationwide alert for Victor Gerena, 25, of New York City who escaped in a car that was later found at a motel near the Brainard Airport in Hartford, Conn. The heist was the biggest since $11 million in cash was stolen nine months ago from the Sentry Armored Car warehouse in New York City.
Senate calls for sanctions The U.S. Senate called for tougher sanctions against the Soviet Union on Tuesday in what some feel is a break with the president. Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., said that he wants the president to do something tangible rather other than talking. Some of Helms recommendations are recalling the U.S. ambassador to Moscow for talks, linking the arms control talks to the airliner incident and ordering the Soviet Union to recall some of its diplomats.
Rebels change leadership According to a rebel radio report Tuesday, El Salvador's largest guerrilla group has changed its leadership to provide for more unity with four other rebel groups fighting the U.S. backed government there. Leonel Gonzalez, a veteran guerrilla fighter, was named Commander in Chief of the Popular Liberation Front Forces.
Troy to address workshop By Lori Christophel Frosty Troy, editor of the Oklahoma Observer will discuss the threats which press freedom faces today as part of CSU's First Amendment Workshop at 7:30, Friday night. The workshop, sponsored by the department of journalism, has included speakers from the metropolitan mass media throught the week. Others in education and law have made presentations and engaged in question-answer sessions with students. The workshop, which centers around the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of the press, is directed by Dennie Hall, assistant professor of journalism. The competencies that class members may attain as a result of this course include, the ability to appreciate the historical struggle of man to be free, with the First Ammendment as a major milestone in that effort, according to Hall. Students will also gain the ability to assess the ammendment's strengths and to recognize efforts to stray from its application and the ability to be alert to danger points in the continuing challenge to keep the ammendment well and alive, he said. Dr. Donald Green, chairman of the history department, gave a presentation entitled the "Historical Perspectives of the
State Attorney General's Office,
First Amendment" Monday night. John Shurr, chief of the Associated Press bureau in Oklahoma City also gave his lecture "The First Ammendment Congress." Tuesday evening's program was a seminar by the Bar-Media Cornmittee of the Oklahoma Bar Association. Moderator was Ray Vaughn, committee chairman and an Edmond attorney. Lecture's were given by Dr. Michael Cox, professor of law, University of Oklahoma, "Open Meetings and Shield Laws"; David W. Lee, chief of the Federal Division,
"Newsroom Searches"; Judge Raymond Naifeh of the Seventh Judicial District, "Gag Orders"; Rick Sitzman, assistant district attorney, Cleveland County, "Trespass" and Mike Hammer, chief investigative reporter for The Daily Oklahoman and Region 8 director of the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi, "Freedom of Information." Dr. John George, CSU professor of political science, lectured on the "Role of the Press in Molding Public Opinion" Wednesday night.

Soviets building missle bases The Pentagon said Tuesday that the Soviet Union is in the process of building three new missle bases for its SS-20 nuclear missies. When the bases are finished they will be able to accomodate 27 missies with 81 warheads. Currently the Soviets have 243 missies aimed at Western Europe. To counter the Soviet missies, the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) agreed in 1979 to deploy 572 new mises in Britain, West Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. Deployment of the missies is to begin in December unless a new agreement is reached with the Soviets at arms limitations talks in Geneva.

Liberty wins first race America scored the first victory in the America's Cup yacht race in Rhode Island yesterday, defeating the Australian challenger in the first of seven races. The race had been delayed due to shifting winds in Rhode Island Sound, but race officials gave the go-ahead Wednesday. Liberty, the American entry, was running neck and neck with Australia II until the Australians lost control of a sail which gave the Americans the lead they needed to win the race. The America's Cup has been marred this year by ill feelings between the competitors because of a new keel design the Australians are using. The new keel features wings along the bottom which some officials believe violates rules regarding specifications on boat size.
Council outlaws mingling The Oklahoma City Council passed an emergency law Tuesday that bans owners and employees of private clubs from mingling with patrons except to serve them food and drinks. The law, which went into effect Tuesday, amends the "B-girl" law passed July 19, which outlawed private club owners and employees from asking customers to buy drinks for other employees.

This award is given in memory of Dean Alvin Freiberger "for the support and encouragement he provided the ROTC program at Central State University," said CPT John Smith, assistant professor of military science, as he introduced Lillard. The coveted silver sabre is provided annually by the CSU Foundation to the cadet who achieves the highest overall score while at ROTC Advanced Camp. Jim Starlins, 29, nursing major, was this year's recipient. The six-week summer camp at Fort Riley, KS, was completed by 17 CSU cadets. The completion of this camp is a prerequisite to commissioning as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army. The cadets accomplishing this received a Summer Campaign Ribbon. Those so honored were Cathy Christianson, Tom Grafton, Motoko Hulme, Dono James, June Lantz, Michael McAlister, Leslie O'Brien, Sam Rice, Sharon Rose, Floyd Smith, Mike Sprinkle, Jim Starlins, Barbara Tacheny, Carlos Vergara and Jeff Stachewicz. The Recondo Award (reconaissance and cammando) is given to those cadets who score at camp a minimum of 250 points on the Army Physical Readiness Test (APRT), rappel from a minimum height of 60 feet, "Slide for Life" from a 90 foot tower 590 feet on a cable, drop into the water from 40 feet and achieve a minimum score of 75 on the land navigation test. The cadets winning this award were Leslie O'Brien, June Latz, Barbara Tacheny, Carlos Vergara and Tom Grafton. A high level of physical condition is an important aspect of being a soldier. The military science department recognizes those cadets whose performance on the APRT warrants a perfect score of 300. The APRT consists of doing
as many push-ups and sit-ups as possible within two minutes each and a timed two-mile run. The standards are set according to age and sex. The recipients of this award are Barbara Tacheny, Floyd Smith, and June Lantz. Physical proficiency ribbons were earned by those cadets who scored a minimum of 270 points on the APRT. Floyd Smith, Barbara Tacheny, Carlos Vergara, Tom Grafton and June Lantz won this ribbon. The ability to fire a weapon effectively is also basic to being a good soldier. While at camp, cadets had the opportunity to qualify with the .45 caliber pistol and the M16A1 rifle. Four cadets received the title of expert by firing 26 of 30 bull's-eyes with the .45 and 36 of 40 with the M16. These cadets are Mike Sprinkle, Jim Starlins (M16) and Carlos Vergara and Dono James (.45). The Military Proficiency Award was won by Carlos Vergara. It is awarded to the cadet who places in the top five percent of this entire battalion at summer camp. "Distinguished Military Students are those individuals recognized as the best of the best," said Smith. This selection enhances a cadet's opportunity to be a Regular Army officer if he or she desires. To be considered for this distinction the cadet must be in the top third of their RPTC class, top half of their academic class and ranked in the top half of the Professor of Military Science's Order of Merit List. These cadets are Cathy Christianson, Leslie Montgomery, Sam Rice, Barbara Tacheny, Carlos Vergara and June Lantz. The cadet staff positions were announced at the awards cermony. The highest cadet position is that of Battalion Commander.
Barbara Tacheny won that honor and was promoted to Cadet Lieutenant Colonel by LTC Nelson Modrall. June Lantz was promoted to Cadet Major and was selected as Cadet Executive Officer. Her job will be to assist the battalion commander and to supervise the cadet staff. Promoted to Captain and assigned to the S-1 position in charge of cadet personnel matters was Dono James. Carlos Vergara was promoted to Cadet Major and assigned to the S-3 position to supervise training and operations. Cadets have the opportunity to volunteer for Cadet Troop Leadership Training (CTLT) following Advanced Camp. These cadets join an active Army unit and assume officer's duties and authority for three weeks. Cathy Christianson and Mike Sprinkle participated in this officer training program. Cadets Mike Ryan and Daryl Ping successfully completed Airborne School at Fort Benning, GA, this summer. These cadets are now authorized to wear the parachutist badge on their uniform. The Air Assault course, conducted at Fort Campbell, KY, consists of learning skills required for helicopter assault operations, such as, rappelling from hovering helicopters, slinging loads for transport, marking landing zones, and signaling techniques. Carlos Vergara successfully completed this rigorous three-week course. One way to establish eligibility to the Advanced Course is by attending the six-week Basic Camp. Cadets receiveing a ribbon for the completion of this camp were Pacita Garcia, Roger Hale, Thomas Moxley and William Hedrick.

New purnalism degree offered By Deborah Thorwart In a nationally conducted study by the University of Oklahoma School of Journalism and Mass Communication of 200 newspaper editors and radio-television news directors, nearly two-thirds of the respondents believed that their papers or stations were doing only an average job or poorer in covering business-economic news. The group conceded that the culprit seems to be a general lack . of reporters trained in the field of business-economics. They stated their most persistent problem has been finding young journalists who have adequate training in business and economics that are able to perform the high quality job this type of reporting takes. In recognition of this problem, the journalism department here is offering for the first time a bachelors degree in journalism which emphasizes business and economics. "I have found that many businesses are quite enthusiastic about such a program in our journalism department," said Dennie Hall, coordinator of the business-economics degree option. "They feel that in the past business news has not been reported as well as they would have liked. They see this as a means of getting more knowledgable coverage of business in the economy." Hall also said that the university has recognized the need for better business-economics writers, especially in an era where the economy is so much a part of the news. The new degree option requires students to enroll in nine or more credit hours of business and economics courses to complete their degree. Courses in journalistic writing will be complimented by courses in business and economics in recognition of the need to integrate writing skills with a knowledge of business and how the economy works.

university hopes to see some remedy to the problem of a lack of business-economics educated reporters through the implementation of this program. Hall is the faculty member who is primarily responsible for the implementation of the business-economics degree option for journalism students. "I drew up a proposal for a new sequence in business and economic journalism and the program was approved by the Board of Regents. I then raised $5500 from foundations and other sources to get the program going." The money went into the Journalism Betterment Fund and in part will be used to pay the salary of Bob Lee, former business editor, and metro editor of the Daily Oklahoman, who is the faculty instuctor for the core course in the curriculum called Journalism 3292: Business News Writing. "We would like to raise more money in support of the program so that we can offer scholarships in the program," said Hall. "I think that as we begin to demonstate success in the program, we will be able to attract more money." Contibutors to the program have been the Phillips Petroleum Foundation, donating $2000; the Oklahoma City Gridiron Foundation, donating $2000; Oklahoma Natural Gas Co, donating $1000 and the CSU Alumni Foundation, donating $500. The Phillips Corporation stated that they sincerely appreciated the university's "efforts to better educate writers in the areas of business and economics reporting." In addition to elective journalism courses, students who choose the business and economic degree option must complete 21 or more hours from news reporting, news editing, public relations, business news writing, a business writing practicum and economics.

CWSP available for financial aid By MaryGay Franklin
Some college students, at some time or another, find themselves in a financial bind, unaware that there is a financial aid program here on campus that can help them make ends meet if they qualify. It is the College WorkStudy Program (CWSP). The program is jointly funded by the Federal Government and the University and is available to those students that show a need for financial aid to complete their schooling. According to Sherri Hancock, director of financial aids, "Students may apply for CWSP by coming by the Financial Aids Office in room 112 in the Administration Building. They must fill out an ACT packet, this
packet is used for all Federal Grants. They will then need to send it in to the ACT processing center. "Information will then come back to them (students), to tell them that the ACT office has filled in the school codes requested by the student and sent the application to the schools indicated on the application form. "There is a processing fee for the computer time, if the student pays that fee then we will also receive a financial aid report," said Hancock. "That financial aid report is what we use to determine whether the student is eligible or not for the program. When we receive that information we then notify the student of his or her eligibility."
The maximum hours a student is allowed to work is 20 hours per week with pay based on minimum wage. "There are alot of variables involved in determining a students eligibility for CWSP. For the dependent students, family income for the prior year is part of the consideration. For independent students, the income for the current tax year is considered," said Hancock. Other factors involved are family size, how may family members are in college, family costs and expenses. Thy also look at how much money is corning in from other resources and any other financial aid. According to Larry Williams, assistant vice/president of ad-
I-
ministration, "There are 250-300 CWSP positions here on campus for the students to take advantage of. We would like for there to be more. This is the type of program that builds upon itself. If we filled all 250-300 positions and used all of the CWSP funds allocated for the year, then next year we would be able to request more funds and possibly build up the number of positions to 350-400." Hancock indicated that they are having trouble filling all the CWSP positions on campus. "It's a matter of whether or not they take advantage of the funding available to them. Some of the students do quite take advantage of the program, they are anxious to go to work and go out and get a job on CWSP.

"There are a large number of students that we know about that have found other jobs off campus. We have a few students that have given us an indication that for some reason or another they are not able to work. There are some particular majors that get so involved in their course work that they have no time to work. In some cases there may be a time later on in the year . tha they will come in and take advantage of the program. "There are some students that don't participate in the program because they are unable to find a job that suits them. They're not interested in anything available at the time. "Students that are on CWSP have varying needs. Some of them may be receiving a grant or a loan or a combination of both. There are several different combinations available to them. It just depends on their particular needs financially. "We would be glad to help anyone that has not excepted their work study offer at this time. If they feel that they are situated in school and they feel they would like to work and earn some of that money available to them, we will be here and try to see if we can put them in a position to earn the money they need."

First year for student director
Students hit big time in Tunesmiths By Mary Franklin
The Tunesmiths, a talented group of CSU student entertainers directed by fellow student, Torn Bell, sing and dance at various civic affairs and banquets here and around the United States. "Technically we are student entertainers, realistically we're a public relations group for the University, said Tom Bell. We are a show choir, not in the high school sense, we're more show business oriented, like the groups at Six Flags or Opreyland." The Tunesmiths were first formed in 1971 by Dr. Coleman Smith. They were formed from six members of the men's glee club here at CSU and the sextet of women known as the Old North Bells. They were originally known as the Territorial Tunesmiths. Their performances were separate from those of the men's glee club with their program of singing and dancing. They also had their own piano, bass and drum players to provide the music. Over the years the Tunesmiths have represented CSU at many schools, churches and social functions around the country. In the past they have travelled to such places as Las Vegas, San Antonio, Dallas and New Orleans to perform. Most of their contacts are former members of the group. "Every other year they have cut a small record in a local recording studio. This is usually a 45 rpm record with two songs on each side which provides a great opportunity for the members to participate in the actual recording process, where they otherwise may never have a chance to make a recording," said Bell. "The Tunesmiths don't enter any type of contests due to the fact that there not any contests of this type for the colliegate level of entertainers. "As compared to the past, this year is going to be a little different for the Tunesmiths. In the past we have been more vocally oriented, sound being the most important factor. This year we still want to keep the sound in mind, but our goal is to be more entertaining in that we do different types of dances and singing in unison. "This year we will be taking a trip during spring break although where we will be going is still uncertain. "Also this year for the first time we will be doing a joint project with channel 2 here at the University. It is to be a video of an original song with Lin Peacock producing the video and myself and Robert Taylor, our bass player, producing the vocals. Jenny Fowler, our dance captain and Miss CSU, will be doing all the choreography.This is not only good public relations, it's also a great educational experience for the kids. If it wasn't for this most of them would never
see the inside of a video recording studio. The chance and experience of getting to do a conceptual video, something like you see on MTV, is really exciting!" "On September 29, channel 2 will have a story on this years auditions for the Tunesmiths. This will provide an opportunity for people to see how the audition process works, said Bell. Also, this Christmas season we will be appearing on Danny's Day, although no definite date has been set at this time." Members of the Tunesmiths are chosen through auditions usually held the first Tuesday of the fall semester. The students are chosen on the basis of their looks, singing and dancing abililty. Other requirements are: they must be full time students at CSU, have at least a 2.5 grade average and they must be involved in another major ensemble in the music department. In the past members have only had to audition once and they could be members as long as they met all requirements, starting this year, members will have to audition every year to stay in the group. This provides them with an incentive to stay sharp, where the past after a few years they may have become lazy. It also opens all the positions and gives newcomers a chance to try for a spot. Students that pass the audition are awarded a work scholarship and are paid like the other University student employees by turning in a timecard at the end of each pay period. "At this time we are having difficulty filling our quota of CWSP (College WorkStudy Program) openings for students. The money may be applied to their schooling, tuition, books, room rent or whatever they like," Bell said. This is the first year in the history of the Tunesmiths that Dr. Smith has not been the director of the group. He originally wanted to get another member of the faculty to take over, but budget would not allow this expenditure. "This isn't official yet but I think Dr. Smith may be getting ready to try and start a graduate assistant program. It would be where someone working on their Masters in music would be able to direct it. Right now funds are not available to pay a graduate assistant," Bell said. Dr. Smith asked Bell to be the director during this experimental year. Tom is in his junior year here and was a member of the Tunesmiths for three years and had some professional experience. He was here during 1978, 1979 and 1980 before taking time off to get married and put his wife through school. When he returned this year Dr. Smith offered him the position as director.
