Canister explodes

TKE's tear gassed

•

By Donna Bennett Tuesday evening at approximately 10:45 p.m. a tear gas cannister exploded outside the east window of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house, located at 202 W. Ayers.

Approximately 30 associates and members were forced to evacuate the house as the gas encompassed the entire first floor and spread to the second.

Edmond police arrived at the scene within ten minutes and rescue units were at the scene almost immediately to render treatment to the people in the house. Franco Janell (Jamey) Cissno DeCissneono III, an associate treated at the scene with oxygen and released without hospitalization. Other TKE's received superficial injuries.

Officer Chuck Linhardt of the Edmond Police Department, responded to the call and found tear gas penetrating the first floor of the house.

The cannister was located on the east side of the house but there are no suspects at this time.

Major William H. Bache, assistant professor of military science, explained that the effects of tear gas are enflamed mucous membranes, irritation to the tear ducts, causing the eyes to water, inflammation of the throat, which can choke and inflammation to the skin, particularly if perspiration is present. Nausea is also associated.

"Anything moist will become inflamed," said Bache.

Possession of tear gas, which is a controlled substance, is illegal and charges could be filed, according to Bache.

According to Don Deason of the Oklahoma County District Attorney's office, suspects could be charged with a felony.

Section 1767.1 of the Oklahoma Statutes—Criminal Penal Code: "Any person who should place in, upon, under, against or near to any building, car, aircraft, motor or other vehicle, vessel or structure any foul, poisonous, offensive or injurious substance, or compound, with intent to wrongfully injure, molest, or coerce another or to injure or damage the property of another, shall be guilty of a felony."

This is not the first incident of such a nature. The Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house found traces of mace inside the house during a rush party on Sept. 8. The ATO house didn't require complete evacuation at that time and no one was seriously injured. The mace was placed on door knobs inside the house. There were no clues to the crime and it was not reported to the authorities.

"It wasn't that bad," said Randy Titony, an ATO member.

The TKE house was also tear gassed during a rush party earlier this month. No one was injuried as everyone was outside at the time. This incident was also not reported at the time.

Upon evacuation of the TKE house, Kappa Sigma fraternity offered to house the TKE's if a housing problem should occur due to the incident. Alpha Gamma Delta likewise offered to house the men in the livingroom in case of difficulties.

"I thank the sororities for their help," said Cissneono.

"We really appreciate the Kappa Sigma's Fraternity offer of a place to stay," said Martin Douglas, treasurer and house resident.

"We told them (the TKEs) they could come here if they were having problems. We hope they'd do the same thing for us," said Jeff Cadwell, a member of Kappa Sigma. "I couldn't believe someone would do something like that."

"I think all the fraternities are fed up with it, said J.D. Hammil of ATO. DeCissneono was the only eyewitness to the gassing.

"All I saw was a flash coming from the cannister," said DeCissneono. "I feel alright but it's hard to see."

Mark Mumma, one of three members temporarely trapped in a first floor bedroom, said, "It (the effects of the gas) feels like my skin is on fire."

Scott Baze, a member, commented, "I didn't hear anything but turned around and saw a cloud of smoke. So I went (out) through the front door." Baze also said that he saw a car leaving the front of the house.

Baze added, "It burned my nose, my eyes, and my throat."

The TKE's have stressed that should suspects be apprehended, criminal charges will be filed and the individuals will be prosecuted.

"By all appearances, the Greek system seems to be uniting to help," commented Munna.

"It's pleasantly surprising," he said. "Sympathy is all I expected. I didn't expect them (Kappa Sigma) to offer hospitality."

Foreshadowing of Oklahoma's fall season hit hard this week as rain downpoured the middle section of the country. An unexpected cold front also hit, causing some hardships on students which were unprepared without winter clothing.

Elections, state questions

Voting set for Tuesday

By Charles Gaylor Capitol Bureau Reporter Voters across Oklahoma will be asked to decide on Tuesday, several runoff races for county and state offices. The winners of Tuesday's election will then vie for those seats in the November general elections.

Several of those races are in the greater Oklahoma county area.

Slated for the runoff in the state level are the Republican Lieutenant Governor's slot and the State Auditor and Inspector's office for the Democrats.

Norman Lamb and Warren E. Green are the Republican candidates in the Lt. Governor's race.

The winner will face Spencer Bernard, the Democratic incumbent.

Clifton Scott and Allen (SIC) Green are the nominees on the Democratic ticket for the State Auditor and Inspector's office. The winner is expected to face Republican Earl Donaldson.

However, Donaldson at one point this summer stated that he was withdrawing from the race, but his name is still on the ballot.

Also on Tuesday's ballot, are three Oklahoma county House of Representatives seats. District 81 (Edmond area), has Republicans Sondra Gregg and Steve Sill battling for the right to the November election bid against Dian Copeland (D-Edmond).

In the northwest section of Oklahoma county, voters are being asked to choose the Democratic nominees for District 85. Clara Haas and Glenda Simon are the candidates.

District 91, in southern Oklahoma county, has Charles Douglas and Keith Leftwich trying for the November general election. This seat has been a hotly contested one when candidate Alice Muesser filed a challenge to the primary election results earlier in late August. This protest was turned down by the courts.

There is only one county seat being contested in the election in Oklahoma county. That is County Commissioner District 1, with Democrats Shirley Darrell and Marion Reed battling it out for that seat.

Neighboring Cleveland county has one county seat up for the grabs for the November election. County

Commissioner District 3 has Democrats Leroy Krohmer and Darrell Ille trying for the position.

Canadian county also has a commissioner seat on the ballot. Vieing for the District 1 post are Sondra Cole and Frank Myers. Both are Democrats.

Perhaps though, the hottest item on the runoff ballot, is state Question 553. If approved, 553 would allow individual counties to set up pari-mutural gambling on horse races.

The proposition in the minds of many, is more of an emotional than cerebral decision. Both proponents and opponents have charged each other with inaccuracies and outright lieing to further their positions.

Those in favor of the proposition say that legalized gambling would add millions of dollars each year to the coffers of thethe state treasury, in the form of taxes, tourist trade and the keeping of Oklahoma race horses on Oklahoma race tracks. They emphasize that there already is horse racing in Oklahoma but that betting on the races is what is illegal.

Meanwhile, opponents say that legalized betting on the horses will bring about the deterioration of the family as family members spend all their time and money at the track trying to win the "one big bet". They also believe that pari-mutual betting will bring in the "scumm of the earth" as one Oklahoma City minister put it. Those opposed to the question say that prostitution and organized crime will move into the state bringing with them drug trafficking and other things associated with them.

For the first time in an Oklahoma election, if no vote is cast on the question, that vote will not be counted as a negative vote. In previous elections, these 'silent votes' were counted as a no vote on the propositions. Therefore, county election officials are trying to make it clear to voters that if they want their opinion to be known, then a vote must be cast on the questions.

Polling places are opened from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Information on polling place can be obtaned from county election board.

Possible solution cited, use government funds Letter to the editor: In response to the editorial of August 31, "it" is a he or she. The qestion was posed, "If abortion is abolished or unavailable, what are the alternatives?" "Abstinence" and adoption were cited as possibilities. However, birth control taught and provided extensively, enlightening young people to the issue, is another alternative. How about using government funds to provide this education instead of using them to promote and support abortion. I am not addressing the aspects of rape and medical complications. While these are very definitely to be considered they are never "cut and dry" by virtue of legislative motions.

Because the unwanted newborn will more than likely not be chosen for adoption if he is "handicapp, radially mixed, abused or too old." According to the prior article, does this mean he should be aborted to alleviate this problem? Certainly not. Yes, infanticide is wrong; but does it become O.K. when the infant is killed before he is out of to

mother's womb? What is child abuse to the extreme? Death. Is the promotion of abortion not a promotion of child abuse?

Sure, no one can guarantee that once a baby is born he will have the "love and support needed to survive," but should this problem be taken care of by aborting the child whose parents are suspect, also as the prior artical implied? Of course not. Would child abuse be abolished with legal permission to terminate the pregnancy if the mother so chooses? Which is more crucial; to protect a woman from an "attack on privacy" or to protect that child's right to life?

Pro-abortionists see the infant as so much tissue in the mother's womb over which she has priority in deciding his fate. All agree that only a murderer would kill a helpless infant. But, just call him a fetus, and destroying him is supposed to be no worse than stepping on a baby chick--maybe not that bad.

Equality of human rights demands respect for all human life because of its origin and identity and not because of its condition or state.

I ask you to answer the following questions as proposed by Gaston D. Cogdell in his article, "Is Abortion Murder?"

By the time a baby is 18 to 25 days old, his heart is already beating. His own blood is formed even prior to that.

It is his blood, separate, distict and many times even of a different type from that of his mother. Would you agree that an abortion is the shedding of innocent human blood?

Would it be murder to kill willfully a new born baby?

Would it be murder to kill willfully an infant one minute before he was born?

At what precise part of time, if any, before birth does an infant's life pass from worthlessness to pricelessness?

If you do not know the answer to the above question then in your judgement, is it not possible that abortion is infanticide?

If there is any possibility that abortion is the willful and premeditated destruction of human life, then is it not as much our duty to oppose it as it would be to try to prevent a man from firing a gun into a box which we might have reason to believe had an infant sleeping within it?

Abortion issue not 'playing God' Letter to the editor: This letter is actually addressed to whoever wrote the letter on abortion, in the Thursday, Sept. 9 issue of The Vista. First I would like to say that this person makes some very good points, but he or she clearly doesn't know much about the issue.

First of all, the letter states, "thou shall not kill." I agree with this but, just because the egg is a living cell does not mean that it is human. If killing a living orgnism is murder, then taking out an appendix, which is a living organism, could also be termed as murder. To murder, would have to be to kill a human, containing a beating heart and a mind.

Secondly, the letter tells us that abortion is denying others the "privilege" of life. What privileges would a baby have with a 15-year-old unwed mother, of a 16-year-old rape victim or even a married couple forced into wed-lock? Having a teenage mother living on welfare, in a ghetto somewhere would not seem to me a privilege? Please note that several

most states and maybe the fetus isn't a real human being.

Such dirty words as murder and infanticide have been used to describe the clean process. Neither the doctor or the mother usually see the termination happen.

We can all passively let this go on.

Just thank our parents that gave us the chance to live!

million dollars a year are sent to unwed mother. Mr. Reagan should rememder this when denouncing abortion.

Then, that same letter, asks us, "how about if you had been aborted?

Think of the times you would have missed." More than likely you would have known a poverty stricken life, malnutrition and knowing that you were unwanted. The friends you would have had and the parents you would have had would probably been unwed mothers, unhappy couples and a high number of child abusers. I believe that all sides of this issue must be considered.

Another point I would like to make is that legalizing abortion is not "playing God." It is giving the parent a choice. You say adoption is a choice?

Right now there are more than enough children that need to be adopted.

Legalizing abortion, to me, would be better than having unwanted children that we have now. This would also open the road to clinics that would do abortions properly instead of risking thousands of lives to unqualified doctors for such operations.

To say that "legailzed abortion would result in more sex without marriage" is totally unprovable. I would ask you, why would a person go to all the expense, not to mention the pain, of an abortion if she could just use some form of birth control. Having sex before marriage, we all know, does not equal pregnancy. The carelessness of both partners is where the fault lies.

The situation under which the child is to be raised is what should be considered in the abortion question.

I'm not saying abortion is right, but I do believe the choice should be there.

Granted "life is a terrible thing to waste," but being born does not necessarily constitute a good life.

Local, State and World News Medicare revised?

Henry Bellmon and Lloyd E. Rader may have persuaded the national secretary of Health and Human Services to postpone a change in the way Oklahoma handles its Medicare/Medicaid claims.

Rader, the director of Oklahoma's Department of Human Services, and Bellmon, who will begin his own term as director of DHS December 31, explained that the present medical payment system is superior for the approximately 44,000 Oklahomans eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid.

Medicare is a Social Security medical program for those 65 and older. Medicaid is a combination of matching state and federal funds which provides health care payments, for the needy.

Under the present system, DHS handles Medicare payments for welfare recipients while Aetna Life Insurance Company handles Medicare claims for those not receiving welfare benefits.

Under the government-proposed system, all claims would be sent to Aetna, which can only cover 80 percent coverage on welfare patients. Doctors would then have to file a claim with DHS for the other 20 percent.

While Secretary Richard S. Schweiker has made no official comment, both Bellmon and Rader felt he was prepared to wait at least another year rather than changing the system October 1 as planned.

Jazz singer performs in Kerr Park

By Kathie Slutter

CSU student Lynn Dodson, will give a jazz concert at 11:45 a.m. on Tuesday at Kerr Park.

Dodson began 12 years ago before she was out of high school. Some of her other concerts include the Fall Jazz Festival in 1981 and the Wayne Nickels Benefit last fall. She was a member of the Shindiggers, a resident performing troupe at the Lincoln Plaza Dinner Theatre, and opened for the Buddy Rich concert last year at the Lincoln Plaza Theatre.

She gained experience in musical theatre as a cast member in "Money," a Jewel Box Theatre production.

"I have been singing for as long as I can remember," Dodson said. She performs hits from jazz greats such as Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Duke Ellington.

"You can't get any better music than that," she said.

Dodson doesn't want to sound like anyone else. "I consider music an art and I feel I'd be selling myself short if I do redundant repetition of what somebody else does. I like to put in my own personality."

By studying music and oral communication, Dodson works on both sides of the performing business.

"Working behind the scenes gives me access to a lot of information and helps me to respect the people I work with."

She enjoys jazz and sees a big prospective audience for it in Oklahoma City if more clubs would accomodate it. "There is clientele looking for jazz, and the club owners would get their money's worth if they'd let the musicians play what they want."

Dodson has studied with Dr. Jess Webster, professor of music, for two years and is one of the few people at CSU to study vocal jazz. She hoped to have the chance to perform with the university stage band

because she's never performed with a big band before.

Dodson plans to keep persuing music as a career.

"I want to be a singer who can support herself and her family just on performing."

City buses collide Two Oklahoma City school buses collided this morning, resulting in minor injuries for four children.

Bus No. 143 was traveling north on Goff when the driver, Wayne Wright of 1320 Chestnut, failed to yield at the intersection of SW 22, hitting the westbound bus No. 54.

Wright was cited for failing to yield while the other driver, Arthur Stevenson of 3232 N. Prospect, was cited for excessive speed under poor road conditions.

President-elect killed Lebanese presiden-elect Bashir Gemayel was killed during a bomb explosion Tuesday.

The Christian party leader was to speak to a crowd of 400 in the East Beirut headquarters of the Phalange Party when the bomb detonated.

According to government radio reports, eight others were dead and 50 were injured from the blast which partially demolished the three-story building in the Ashafieh district. Police reports indicate that 13 died in the explosion.

Gemayel was to begin his term as president Thursday.

He was elected to office by a special session of the Lebanese Parliament despite a boycott by a number of Moslem legislators.

Princess Grace dies Monaco's Princess Grace, the former actress Grace Kelly, died from injuries received in a car crash Tuesday.

The Philadelphia-born blonde made 11 films in a five year career before retiring to marry Prince Rainier of the French principality of Monaco, in Europe.

The 52 year-old won an Academy Award for best actress in "The Country Girl" in 1955. She played opposite actors like Bing Crosby, Cary Grant, James Stewart, Gary Cooper and Frank Sinatra.

Her 17 year-old daughter, Princess Stephanie, was driving when the car ran off a mountain road near La Turbie, France. The teenager is still in a Moraco hospital for observation.

High school seniors and junior college students are often undecided about which university to attend. The High School/College Relations Board seeks to provide the answers.

There are two separate interrelating divisions of the board at Central State, the High School/College Relations and the High School/College Relations Office. Both work with high school and junior college students; helping them to become acquainted with university life.

The High School/College Relations Office is located in the administration building, under the direction of Cathy Williamson.

The relations office goes to as many as 215 schools a year to tell students about CSU. They give out tour cards and aid students in reserving dates to visit the campus.

"The purpose of the board is to make the transition from high school or junior college to college life an easier one," Kirby commented.

The members of the board work with the relations office to find out when campus tours need to be given. They also set up high school activities, like speech tournaments, art shows and music contests to interest students in CSU. Last year the members conducted over 100 tours. The board also conducted the freshman orientation this year which over 200 students attended.

The board is currently looking for new members. For more information about the High School/College Relations Board contact Deana Kirby at ext. 248.

If Kirby is unavailable, contact one of the officers: president Kelley Gordon, vice-president Jaxon Landrum, secretary/treasurer Tonya Haywood or membership chairman Price Oswalt.

According to Deanna Land, associate dean of students, there is no physical hazing that she is aware of on-campus. The Central State adminstration policy does not approve of hazing.

He said that their fraternity tries to make initiation a positive experience and that he is responsible for the pledges and how they are treated.

Hazing discouraged on-campus

By Tonda Howard The overall view of sororities and fraternities on the Central State campus is one of total abandonment of hazing. But while it may not appear on this campus, hazing still goes on across the United States.

Physical hazing is a part of almost every organization's initiation across the country. In rare cases, death is the result. Criminal charges of assault and battery can be filed if the punishment is of an extremely severe nature.

Davis will speak on the Student Membership Program. New members are welcome.

According to Lisa Adams, president of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, "There is no sense in (hazing). It is a very touchy subject because it is so misunderstood. Just because we are a member of Greek organizations, everyone assumes Greeks haze and this is not true."

The Central State Panhellenic Committee has a policy that no hazing shall be established and all members shall be informed of this policy.

Child Learning Center aids teachers

By Tonia Sykes

▪

•

Room 101 in the Home Economics building is not a typical classroom. Beyond the door is the Child Learning Center which functions "as a teacher preparation lab for those students who are concentrating their studies in the early childhood program," stated Lori Johnson, coordinator of the center.

The children who attend pre-school classes at the center represent an integral part of the program.

"Having the children on campus enables us to provide a `hands on' experience for the upper-class and graduate students prior to teaching in the classrooms," said Johnson.

She also said that the students are allowed to interact with the children and learn how to plan activities which they present to the children and follow through to compleWednesday September 15 thru Tuesday September 21

tion. They also learn how to ask children questions and how to work with the children.

"Some students who come into the program are really intimidated by three and four year old children," said Johnson. "Without this exposure in the center, they may not overcome these feelings."

Johnson further commented that at one time she had a student that liked the program so much that it was hard for the student to leave at the end of the semester.

Morning class for three year olds meets from 9 a.m.- 11 a.m. Monday through Friday; the afternoon class for four year olds meets from 1-3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The child must be three or four years old by Sept. 1 to be eligible for enrollment.

"Enrollment for a child in the center is accepted on a waiting list basis. The child must be enrolled prior to the

year the student is to begin classes," said Johnson.

Designated areas for activities within the center include art, block, large motor, science and math, music, reading, writing, listening, puzzles and home living. The children are allowed to have free movement in these various areas.

"An added bonus to the center is the observation booth which facilitates between 250-300 students each semester who are in the beginning phases of observing what children are all about," said Johnson.

The booth is enclosed with a one-way mirror to allow students to 'see without being seen'. A speaker system in the booth can be tuned to the various activity areas in the center to hear the children's conversations.

Johnson invites students to visit the observation booth as guests to watch the children grow.

Consumer workshop slated for economic observations "The Consumer in the 80's" workshop will be held 6:30 to 10 p.m., Sept. 20-24 in the Liberal Arts Auditorium.

It will concentrate on the present economic situation and give information to aid the consumer in making practical decisions Although a variety of topics will be covered such as insurance, housing, and investments, there is no prerequisite required for attending the classes. Enrollment will be limited to 250 students.

Guest speakers will address a wide range of subjects including budgeting and planning, alternatives in housing, alternatives to medical insurance, real estate, new mortages and credit managers criteria when evaluating for credit.

ROTC Marauders apply tactical skills during camp

By J.D. McDaniel Rising early on Friday morning, Sept. 10, 19 male and female cadets of the ROTC Marauder Club prepared their gear for a flight to Camp Gruber for an Air Assault exercise. At 12:30 p.m., three Huey helicopters arrived to transport the cadre and cadets to the camp, near Muskogee.

After the cadets arrived at Camp Gruber, the cadre conducted classes on how to establish and secure a patrol base. The cadets also learn how to navigate by the stars and had a lesson on the practical applications of survival.

As dusk approached, the cadets prepared for a night by making beds on the ground. The next morning, they were ready to resume training once again. Classes on Saturday morning included lessons on how to prepare patrol, operation, and warning orders. The cadets also learned the use of sand tables and the techniques of recon patrolling.

When classes were over, actual point recon patrols were conducted so that the cadets could apply the skills that they learned. The skills they learned would enable them to assume the role of leadership upon becoming a commissiond officer in the armed forces.

Each cadet then went back to the pickup zone where once again they boarded the helicopters for a flight back to the university.

ROTC Marauders Club patroled a dirt road during a commando assault at Camp Gruber, near Muskogee. Nineteen cadets were on this trip last weekend to learn tactical skills which they also applied in practice.

CSU cablevision to begin fall season CSU Public Service Television debuts its fall programming 7 p.m. Thursday on Cablevision Channel 2. The premiere is a sampling of local origination programming produced by Central State University's PSTV Division.

This form of Public Service is another approach to the university's three-fold function of instruction, research and public service.

"This is the largest television programming undertaking of any institution of higher learning in the state," according to the PSTV Director, Dr. Jack Deskin, associate professor of Oral Communication.

Deskin, along with PSTV Production Supervisor, Rick Lippert, are the only full-time personnel comprising the service. Other staff members are undergraduate students under the auspices of the Oral Communication Department's Broadcasting Sequence.

According to Deskin, most programs are produced and directed by students.

"Although it would be nice to have a full-time professional staff, I think it as a tremendous opportunity for students preparing to be media professionals.

"Nowhere else in the state," said Deskin, "can a student supplement the classroom theory with actual experience on such a large scale."

"A student can read about concepts in the text, discuss the theoretical considerations in the classroom and even critique programming of local stations and the networks, but taking it through the final step is where CSU can now excel," said Barbara Norman, oral communication department chairperson.

In addition, to local programming, PSTV will present special programs through its satellite receiving dish. The dish will give PSTV access to all domestic satellites orbiting the earth.

"Satellite transmission will make today's information distribution systems as antiquated as the telegraph did the

pony express," commented Deskin.

The third source of programming will be an agreement of universities exchanging programs on a co-operative basis. But, according to Deskin, this process will take longer to develop since very few institutions have a program development, such as CSU. Thursday night's program will include: Conversations hosted by Edmond Mayor Carl Reherman; Broncho Football Highlights 1982 with Head Coach Gary Howard and Greg Kerr; Higher Education Today with CSU President Bill Lillard; For Women with Miss Edmond Lorrie Carroll; Edmond 2 News anchored by Rick Kirkham; Around Campus co-hosted by Marsha Steward and Steve Barrett; and Edmond at Play with Beck Van Pool.

The same programs will be featured Friday 7 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. Saturday and Sunday afternoon at 2:30.

Regular programming will begin on Monday.

Oklahoma Needs Organized Gambling Like It Needs Another Bad Habit Doesn't Oklahoma have enough trouble without pari-mutuel gambling?

• One of three marriages ends in divorce, with Oklahoma now second in divorce in the nation.

• Oklahoma ranks 14th nationally in overall abuse of dangerous drugs and fourth in abuse of Quaaludes.

• Oklahoma is fifth nationally in teen pregnancy.

• Our juvenile justice population exceeds the national rate by 62.5%.

We ought to be strengthening the family in Oklahoma, not adding to the social burden. From the FBI to personal testimony of victims, the message is the same — pari-mutuel gambling spawns crime, breaks up families and becomes for some a vicious habit leading to mental illness.

Everybody loves horses in horse country! Don't let the gambling interests fool you — horse racing and pari-mutuel gambling aren't the same. One is sport, the other is a source of widespread social illness.

Ask yourself if Oklahoma will be a better place if organized gambling is legalized in the 77 counties.

Flag football kicks-off '82 Intramurals with 20 teams

By Shawn Cowan Intramural sports arc ready to kick off another big season.

Teams this fall will include soccer, tennis and flag football, with the latter already beginning.

"We are pleased with the turnout in flag football," cornmented Tom Hollis, intramural director. "We now have eight womens' teams and 20 mens' teams."

Flag football has the biggest turnout so far with the majority of teams coming from fraternaties and sororities. ATO was last years' all sports points champion and the defending champion in men's flag football is the Baptist Student Union.

Bob Stidham, assistant to Hollis as well as assistant baseball coach, believes that more students need to get involved in intramurals.

"We're still taking applications in soccer due to lack of interest.

Overall the intramural program is for the general student population," said Stidham. "I also feel that there needs to be more dormatory competition."

Entries for intramural tennis have been extended. A single elimination tournament will be held in each division; mens'

doubles and singles, womens'doubles and singles and mixed doubles.

The intramural council is still open for interested applicants.

This council helps set up rules and acts as a board for grievances.

"I am looking forward to having a good season," concluded Hollis.

Those who would like applications for intramural tennis and soccer and for the intramural council may come by HPE 204B. The flag football season started off in style Sept. 12 with several games being played and a few of those being forced to conclude at a later date.

In the Women's League, the Lone Stars nipped the GDI's, 7-6;

In Fraternity League Action, the ATO-Kappa Sig. game was also suspended, after the first half with ATO leading 15-0. It will also be resumed 4:30 p.m. Oct. 24th, on field number one.

Khalid Khan and Arig Batoo both of Kenya were not eligible last year because they both were transfers but will also see some playing time.

There are four freshmen on this year's team. They are Steve Dupre of Edmond, Rick Dugger of Elk City, Rick Drew of Oklahoma City and Freddie Marshena also of Oklahoma City.

There are also four transfers this fall: Lonnie Phillips of Harrah, Brian Barnes of Edmond, Sterling Lee of Denver, Colo. and Mark Ellis of Oklahoma City.

The women's team has three returners: Terri Roque, Phillipines; Jenny Fowler, Enid and Kathy Mathis of Guyman.

All of the women returners are sophomores.

"The fall season is to give the team experience before the spring season," said Baxter.

Randy Page looks for an open receiver in Saturday's loss to Southwestern.

Mackey leads Bronc defense After the first two games of the football season, the most impressive Broncho statistics belong to the defensive unit. CSU's defense has allowed a mere 238.5 yards in total offense per game and 3.4 yards per play.

The Bronchos are given up 122.5 yards per outing on the ground and only 2.5 yards per rush. Through the air CSU has given up 116 yards per game and just under a 50 percent competion with one interception.

As a whole the defense has allowed only three touchdowns and 9.5 points per game.

The defense is led by Ron Mackey, with 21 tackles and three quarterback sacks. David Rolle is next with 19 tackles and two sacks. Ed Desherow has 17 tackles

and Mike Tasby and Derwin Cantley have 16 each.

Doug Williams has recorded 14 tackles and two sacks; the Bronchos have sacked the opponent's quarterback 10 times in the first two games.

On the offensive side, Bruce Vann leads all Broncho backs with 134 yards rushing and a 4.8 average. Gerry Flannel is next with 82 yards, followed by Randy Page with 51.

Page has also completed 10 of 21 passes for 128 yards and one touchdown.

Daric Zeno leads all recievers with 71 yards on five catches and also is tops in all-purpose running with 185 yards. Willie Henderson has average 43.7 yards on 10 punts.

Kimbler wins predictions contest Greg Kimbler is this week's winner in the 'Super Selections' contest.

He posted a 6-3 mark and beat his closest competition by at least one game. Kimbler's misses came with CSU and Oklahoma, which everyone missed, and Dallas Monday night.

Last week's winners, Bob Starder and Mike Wilmeth, missed four games and the staff experts completely missed the boat. It appears Robert Slankard has doomed OU again this year with his picks.

Again, contestants can place their ballots in a basket at The Vista office. No more than one ballot per person will be excepted.

Bronchos suffer while offense s utters

By Mark Spears and Robert Slankard With a host of returning starters from last year's 6-3 team, it appeared there would be few questions concerning this years' Broncho gridders.

But after two games and a 1-1 record, several holes have appeared, especially in the offense.

They became very apparent after last Saturday's 12-7 loss at the hands of the Southwestern Bulldogs.

CSU was able to generate only 185 yards in total offense and seven first downs, with a majority of those stats coming in the fourth quarter.

In the opener against Northwestern, the Bronchos scored

just 15 points, with six coming on an interception returned for a touchdown.

The irony of the situation, is the fact that the offense contained possibly the brightest possibilities in the pre-season.

The line had four starters returning and the entire backfield was returning in tact, including the first two quarterbacks. The receivers also smacked of great potential, led by All-District performer Daric Zeno.

However something seems to have gone wrong between print and performance.

John McGivern, offensive coordinator for CSU, believes the reason could lie, in part, with fundamentals.

"We're making too many execution mistakes right now, like missed blocks and running the wrong patterns. We're also getting too many offensive penalties to be successful."

The turnover problem was very apparent against Southwestern.

The Bronchos fumbled six times and lost three, including one on the Bulldog 13 yard line with less than two minutes left in the game.

Quarterback Randy Page was sacked several times against the Bulldogs which could well be attributed to the missed blocking assignments and execution.

Coach Gary Howard has developed a reputation through his tenure at CSU as favoring a strong running game. However,

Students' opinions of legalized racing vary, shows informal poll

by Stacie Pitts The students at CSU become very opinionated when it comes to the subject of pari-mutuel betting in Oklahoma. The question will appear on the state ballot Tuesday, and whether they are for or against it, the students raise some good points.

From a small survey taken this week around campus, it was obvious that the majority of those surveyed were for pari-mutuel betting. Some of the popular reasons for support of the controversial issue were the possible increase in land value and capital for the state.

Lisa Moore, a CSU freshman, believes that horse racing will raise the value of real estate.

"We have some of the best quarter horses in the nation," said Moore. She added that these horses should be raced in the state and the additional capital they will bring in could be used to reduce state taxes.

When asked what they thought about the possibility of organized crime coming into the state, most students didn't have an opinion.

"I'm not worried about the crime problem because crime is already here. I don't believe it will become much worse," said John

Privette, an Oklahoma City freshman.

On the other hand, David Howard, an Oklahoma City sophomore, and Don Sears, an Altus freshman, are very much against betting. Howard admits he is a little worried about the crime that might follow, but he just doesn't think Oklahoma needs betting.

"If people want to bet, then let

them keep going to Arkansas and Louisiana," Howard said.

Sears is not as worried about the crime as he is about going against his religion.

"As a christian, it is my duty to care for everyone and I don't believe we need the temptation of betting," said Sears, when asked if his beliefs prevent others from betting on the races.

the Bulldogs defeated the Bronchos through the air, as Steve Price connected on half of his 22 passes for 133 yards.

In contrast, CSU has passed for a total of 128 yards through the first two games of the season.

But, McGivern believes that could change.

"We look to pass a little bit more this weekend as well as the rest of the season," remarked McGivern.

Though the Bronchos have generated little offense through the air, the statistics aren't much better on the ground. CSU is averaging a meager 115 yards per

Ueda

`

game rushing and just 3.6 yards per rush.

Two people who were expected to do wonders for the CSU ground attack this year were Steve McKeaver and Page. As mentioned before, Page has been sacked numerous times this year and basically has been forced to scramble for his life because of offensive breakdowns.

McKeaver, who led the team in rushing last year as a sophomore, has carried the ball only four times for 13 yards in CSU's first two games. He has been injured most of the year with ankle trouble.
